Good to see you
Good to see you around a bit, even if still on Wikibreak; you've been missed. Hesperian 11:36, 27 December 2006 (UTC)

Heads up twenty days early? Wow a lots happened in the time youve been off - the test for a start! Trust all is well - I've got through non AWB 10,000 edits now - mainly tagging Indonesian stubs of dubious quality :) SatuSuro 02:07, 6 January 2007 (UTC)

''Grateful if you could cast you eyes over this. Some fauna articles are named with common names and other scientific. Flora seems more consistent, but not always so. Is there a convention on this?

''PS: I'm easing my way back in. Cheers. &mdash;Moondyne 07:47, 9 January 2007 (UTC)


 * Will do.
 * All flora taxa are now located at their scientific name. It is permitted for flora uses to have an separate article. e.g. the article on the plant commonly known as "coconut" belongs at Cocos nucifera, but there should also be an article on the fruit at Coconut. This convention applies across the board, but it is pretty new, so some articles (including my coconut example) haven't been sorted out yet. The other special case is flora names that refer to a handful of plants that don't make up a coherent taxon. e.g. Kangaroo Paw is a common name that refers to some but not all Anigozanthos, plus one Macropidia. If you see a flora article at the common name, and it doesn't fall into one of these exceptions, feel free to move it.
 * Fauna are wishy-washy. They are supposed to be located at the common name, but some taxa don't have a common name, and some taxa share a common name with other taxa. I guess the best course is to use the common name unless it is untenable.

 * That would have to be the best single-edit page I've seen. But I've ruined that by giving it a light copyedit. Hesperian 10:43, 9 January 2007 (UTC)

If you did that to bellevue railway station (hmmm) - there are a large number of railway stations you might have to consider... you might check where order and I have been with rebecca earlier today - it might or might not interest you! SatuSuro 08:48, 10 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Have I ever kept things simple.  Yes I happen to agree with you re the Odd use of Perth after the railway station names.  (The separate issue is bothering me - its bit like the walkover of the Perth thing by the sock).  Will try to fathom the origins of the Perth thingo on the railway stations - I had simply followed rather than questioning at the time I first emet it. SatuSuro 11:00, 10 January 2007 (UTC)

Aquinas College, Perth Article
My rationale for doing this is that all of the other school are relevant to Aquinas College in that they are part of the PSA. And that they are a significant part of the sport article. If you wish to delete them, then do so, but i think the Trinity one needs to stay for sure. Thanks =) Smbarnzy 09:03, 10 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Why are you removing the category template for the Aquinas College, Perth talk page, i think it should stay as it is relevant to the subject. Please justify, Thanks Smbarnzy 09:16, 10 January 2007 (UTC)
 * I am willing to accept the deletion of all PSA schools from the category of AC, Perth except Trinity? Thanks for your help and guidance. Much appreciated Smbarnzy 12:13, 10 January 2007 (UTC)

Aquinas College, Perth
Hey Moondyne =) you seem to be pretty with it, so i was wondering if you could review my article on Aquinas College, Perth at Peer review/Aquinas College, Perth/archive4, I have spent a considerable amount of time on this article and have been lacking in the feedback dept. Thanks =) Smbarnzy 12:53, 10 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Took your advise on the Categorisation and removed a few of them - feel free to remove others if you wish. Thanks for your help, any chance of the review? understand if you cant, Thanks Smbarnzy 13:35, 10 January 2007 (UTC)

Fees
Yes, they are on the college website under "Enrolments" and then "Fees", i have all info - where am i going to put such information? this given the new article sections. Thanks Smbarnzy 14:07, 11 January 2007 (UTC)

Taking it out there
I have just posted this on the WP Western Australia project talk page -

''An editor has just ran into the railway station xxxx. Perth naming system - and started converting only to find the whole metro area station names have this moniker ( even the freo one which reads weird to say the least) - after the rather awkard re-name from a sock (which bothers me that such can happen) regarding all Perth arts - the issue that arises - what do we do with a whole heap of Perth railway stations? Are they in Perth? Western Australia? or are they stand alone unless the need to disambiguate occcurs? I eagerly await responses SatuSuro 13:29, 10 January 2007 (UTC)''

SatuSuro 13:33, 10 January 2007 (UTC)


 * I do hope you dont mind me doing that - I think WP Perth is quieter than WP West Aust - and WP West Aust is more likely to have a better response. SatuSuro 13:49, 10 January 2007 (UTC)


 * Thanks for that - aargh I have my watch lists infested by the dam cydebot's following up on that stupid sock!  grrr, better tag more stubs before I say something inappropriate! SatuSuro 14:13, 10 January 2007 (UTC)

Grammar
''Is a team an "it" or a "they" ? &mdash;Moondyne 11:12, 12 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Good question. I say "it", because if "team" is plural, what is "teams"?
 * Consistency within the article should also be a consideration. If you're going to write "they participated in the first Test match in 1877", then you should also change the opening sentence to
 * "The Australian cricket team, together with the English cricket team, are the joint oldest team in Test cricket having played their first Test match in 1877."
 * which sounds terrible. I've just convinced myself: "team" is singular; "it" is correct. Hesperian 11:21, 12 January 2007 (UTC)

Unfree Images
The image you markes as a possible unfree image could very well be a photo taken by sm barnzy as him and myself are both students attending the school. Students such as myself and possibly him are often taking pictures on behalf of the school. One example is in the 2006 school annual which includes pictures taken by myself. I cannot at all confirm that this image is smbarnzy's own work however I beleive there is an extremely high chance of the image genuinely being his.

I would appreciate your understanding and would ask you to rethink your descition and possibly remove the tag if you belive this would be appropriate.

sincerely

A response to my actions and AWB
First let me apologize to my lateness in response. I assure you, I do not run from confrontations and this is necessary to be resolved.

SatuSuro, what you need to do to and where you need to go to have an argument about this is to come on to my talk page, which you have done. Perhaps it was not still going, just running faster than your list could be updated. The machine is not to blame, I am. However, I would never choose disrupt and annoy. I only seek to edit for improvement.


 * Moondyne, I thank you for your good faith. I will never again use AWB for solely minor edits such as moving stub notices and removing blank lines.
 * HeartofaDog's Spades trump my Clubs. I thank HeartofaDog for inforiming me of the large spread of my actions.
 * AWB is an excellent tool, and I will use it responsibly and usefully.
 * I will impose upon myself a: one month ban and two month probationary period for the use of AWB.

Thankyou for your time, patience and concern. If there is any more that must be said or done, show no hesitations in contacting me. Regards, Dfrg.msc 1. 2 . Editor Review 06:02, 16 January 2007 (UTC)

Image:Glenn robbins.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Glenn robbins.jpg. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:


 * 1) Go to the image description page and edit it to add , without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template.
 * 2) On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace the fair use image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or a similar) image under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on [ this link]. Note that any fair use images which are replaceable by free-licensed alternatives will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.

Pearler
Yet another good article idea; Pearling in Western Australia.

I read this the other day in an ABC book citing Reynolds and Stannage about the missing history of pearling. Can some of thiss work its way into article? Thanks moondyne. Fred 17:45, 19 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Archaeologists have found shells up 1000 km away. Extensive trading prior to:
 * 'Commercial industry' began with the discovery near Karratha by pastoralists killing time aboard the Dolphin in 1861.
 * James Turner expediton for pearls on the Flying Foam used aboriginal divers to collect shell and pearls.
 * 3 decades of virtual slavery of aboriginal people until end of 1880s. Up to 500 people at its peak.
 * The government resident in Roebourne accused pearlers of slavery and murder in report.
 * A 'notorious' pearl, Rosea, worth £20 00 in 1910.


 * I was intrigued to think that Baileys book hasnt been mentioned - and assessed it as well... SatuSuro 09:25, 20 January 2007 (UTC)


 * Reference:The big history question: snaphots of australian history vol 2 (Chap.39) 2000, Clarke,F.G. 1943- . Kangaroo Press (Simon & Schuster) . is not the best reference for this article. You may remember the ABC radio program. The article is called "Aborigines and Pearling". He gives these references:
 * Davis, Richard 1998 The Ghost Guide to Australia, Bantam: Sydney
 * Reynolds, Henry 1990,With the White People; The Crucial Role of Aborigines in the Exploration and Development of Australia, Penguin: Ringwood
 * Stannage, C. T. (ed) 1981. A New History of Western Australia, (UWA) Press: Nedlands

I will have a go if you don't think the ref is 'secondary source'? He is usually Ok, but the prose is a bit heavy handed sometimes, but not as much as Pilger, say. Ta for encouragement, such an important industry has probably sought to suppress the shameful aspects of history. I think Diamonds suffered from bad press at one stage. Lives per carat and all that. Fred 10:19, 20 January 2007 (UTC)

re: George Brand de-prodding
I have removed the prod tag from George Brand, which you proposed for deletion. I am leaving this message here to notify you about it.

The article does describe Brand as rising above the convict class, which was very unusual for the time. Convictism was a highly significant part of the social, financial and political development of the state and individuals like Brand were quite unusual and notable because of this. A student of Western Australian history would describe the class separation as important when just under 10,000 convicts were transported to the colony during a 18 year period when the total population increased five fold. I certainly wouldn't argue for bio's on every convict, but as said, Brand was unusual. If you still feel the article should be deleted, please don't add the prod template back to it. Instead, feel free to list the article at Articles for deletion. Thanks! —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Moondyne (talk • contribs) 01:42, 25 January 2007 (UTC).
 * That's cool. Perhaps you could add something to that effect to the article. The reason it didn't strike me as notable was because I didn't know that "rising above the convict class" was "very unusual for the time". Adding some context will help. Thanks, Fang Aili talk 01:50, 25 January 2007 (UTC)

List of endangered flora of Western Australia

<- ''The interest is definitely there. Maybe I need to read a primer of taxonomical conventions because it's just about Japanese to me at this time. &mdash;Moondyne 04:31, 3 February 2007 (UTC) Like, &mdash;Moondyne 04:47, 3 February 2007 (UTC)
 * 1) what does the 'ms' means in "Chamelaucium croxfordiae ms"; and the 'aff' in "Schoenus aff. clandestinus".
 * 2) and why have a Wikispecies database at all - what is it for that en: can't do, and when should we link to it directly in an en: article
 * 3) and in florabase, is there a way if filtering for a geographical area.


 * Neither are particularly important. Ideally, every known species should have a validly published name. But sometimes publication takes a while, and when you're working at the coalface of botany, you can't afford to wait around for a species to be published before you can refer to it; e.g. you wouldn't want to have to wait for a species to be published before you can list it as endangered. So botanists give their specimens unofficial names in the interim. If a botanist finds a specimen that looks rather like Schoenus clandestinus, but also looks a bit different, and might be a new species, or a new subspecies or variety of S. clandestinus, they give it the unofficial name Schoenus aff. clandestinus, which literally means "the Schoenus with an affinity with S. clandestinus". Further down the track, if a botanist has chosen a name for their new species and written a formal description, but that description has not yet been published, then the name is only a "manuscript name", so is appended with "ms". See discussion at Jacksonia for example.
 * A good question, which I can't really answer, but could easily rant about. I wouldn't ever cite Wikispecies; I just use the wikispecies template in the external links section.
 * Only by biogeographic area. But this won't help you, as Dryandra Woodland in on the border of Avon Wheatbelt and Jarrah Forest. Avon Wheatbelt runs from Mullewa to Southern Cross to Tenterden, so it isn't much help if you want to know what occurs within a small location.
 * Hesperian 12:09, 3 February 2007 (UTC)
 * I meant in the article proper; passing mention of a botanist who completely revised the genus, then passed away without getting it published, resulting in lots of "ms" species. Hesperian 06:09, 4 February 2007 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:100 most influential western australians.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:100 most influential western australians.jpg. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. When you use a generic fair use tag such as or , you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Chowbok  ☠  02:25, 21 February 2007 (UTC)


 * Ahah poetic justice to a dubious list :) SatuSuro 02:26, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

Guildford Grammar School
I have an article for AfD - Guildford Grammar School Chapel - this is appears to be a joke of some sort? Smbarnzy 02:29, 21 February 2007 (UTC)
 * I dispute that from my experience and will gladly work on it, and defend it. Take care barnsey you are out of court on that one! SatuSuro 02:32, 21 February 2007 (UTC)


 * it could make a good article, but is it notable? there are thousands of schools in the world, and thousands of school chapels too - by allowing this school to have an article on its chapel (that is unref - except for the external link) you would be opening the flood gates for other schools including Aquinas College, Perth to have an article on its chapel (i will make one if i you allow GGS to have one). Aquinas couldn't even have an article on all of its buildings let alone its chapel. in summary: i think notability is the largest issue (sure its heritage listed - but so are many buildings). Smbarnzy 03:28, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

That is a rather disturbing message. My take on this is: Hesperian 04:22, 21 February 2007 (UTC)
 * 1) If Smbarnzy wants to nominate Guildford Grammar School Chapel for AfD, he is welcome to do so;
 * 2) Moondyne is under no obligation to nominate the article for AfD on Smbarnzy's behalf;
 * 3) If Moondyne doesn't choose to do Smbarnzy's dirty work for him, that doesn't mean that Moondyne likes the article;
 * 4) Smbarnzy is welcome to create an article on Aquinas College Chapel if he thinks that would improve the encyclopaedia;
 * 5) Since Smbarnzy has already expressed his opinion that Guildford Grammar School Chapel should be deleted as non-notable, and considering that Guildford Grammar School Chapel is heritage listed and Aquinas School Chapel is not, it is very hard to see how Smbarnzy could possibly think that Aquinas School Chapel was a sufficiently notable subject for an article;
 * 6) If Smbarnzy creates Aquinas College Chapel simply to make a point about the existence of the Guildford Grammar School Chapel article, that would be a violation of WP:POINT.


 * I wish to take issue with Smbarnzy's editing of the guildford and guildgford prep school article at the same time as this particular discussion occurs.  It strongly suggests that there is no interest in actual editing, but simply making a point. SatuSuro 08:00, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

I must this is an unusual place to have a discussion about the deletion on an article or whether its sufficiently notiable. Even more remarkable is that Moondyne has been able to watch this occur without participating. Anyhow I'm closing this WP:AFD discussion with the result being keep as heritage listing is sufficient to establish notiability. Gnangarra 11:36, 21 February 2007 (UTC)


 * Well done! :-) Hesperian 11:38, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

Heritage
By the way, Moondyne, (using your talk page to talk to you - fancy that) I don't agree that not all heritage listed buildings are notable. What is the heritage assessment process if not a rigorous assessment of a building's notability? Hesperian 10:27, 21 February 2007 (UTC)


 * I would agree with that - heritage listing in itself is a sufficient condition to ascertain {[WP:N]] and the documentation is sufficient for WP:V - otherwise - there would be not point in having a heritage list... SatuSuro 11:17, 21 February 2007 (UTC)


 * although maybe not always for an article? A heritage listed building may be worth a short discussion in another parent article like say MOST of the country roads board offices/halls/police stations/railway stations are heritage listed but you'd probably just list them under the town they're in... DanielT5 07:30, 22 February 2007 (UTC)


 * Thankyou Daniel, a voice of reason at last. &mdash;Moondyne 07:36, 22 February 2007 (UTC)

Indeed - at the level that Daniel is talking about - that may be the case - but:-

My post above was made very specifically about the level of listing which the GGS chapel achieved - a state heritage listing.

There are up to 5 levels of heritage - what daniel is talking about is municipal heritage listings - at the bottom of the scale and I would never consider that level as having an criteria with equating to V or N anyways.


 * 1 - municipal heritage registers - which end up on heritage council database - and can be confused with the next level many times - most if not all items at this level if not on hgiher levels are not necessarily notable....
 * 2 - state register - which is what ggs chapel is at
 * 3 - national trust register - usually notable due to the structures that they nominate
 * 4 - national heritage register - automatically
 * 5 - world heritage register - automatically

Wikipedia has insufficient information about the distinction for what it all means, and no article that delineates these distinctions and links issues between states of australia  - a sad lack for a busy place... SatuSuro 07:59, 22 February 2007 (UTC)

Block
Dear Moondyne, You have blocked me from editing. I was the person (IP address) who inserted the phrase "reference needed" because the list of common German surnames, when I viewed it, had the surname "Hitler" in the number one spot (with a percentage of 0.95). I even clicked on the name as it linked to the Hitler Wikipediea entry. It has since been changed to "Muller". Since I have been blocked, please (presumably you have some sort of power to do this -it's quite simple I'm told) remove my comment as I don't doubt Mueller is the most common name; and please don't call me a vandal.

Promotion of ZDNet. Where's the information from AUDA.org.au? If this actually happened as stated there should be an AUDA release on this? AustralianTraveller 22:06, 25 February 2007 (UTC)

So you are saying that the press and the stories in it are reliable? Come off it mate. Find a reference to the information from AUDA.. I'm looking for one and can't find one.

I'm laughing too hard since I was searching google for info about non-cricket stuff for Harbhhajan and found that the Times of India has plagiarised mine and many other wiki cricket bios! It imported POV and OR from whoever wrote the article as well. Particularly amused that my newbie violations of OR on Irfan Pathan have resulted in tens and perhaps hundreds of millions of Indians thinking that he will captain India in the future. Hey I could become the new sensationalist Robert Craddock! Blnguyen (bananabucket) 08:18, 28 February 2007 (UTC)

Signature Discomfort
Hi Moondyne

Just a question...

When I sign my posts with the four tidles, I do not have a link for Auroranorth. It appears as Auroranorth 11:20, 28 February 2007 (UTC), note no link. I took a look at Sign_your_posts_on_talk_pages and that confirmed that there was something wrong. When you sign your reply, it'll have a link included to your username. Thanks - Auroranorth 11:20, 28 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Thanks! I'll do that now. Auroranorth 12:04, 28 February 2007 (UTC)

WikiProject Biography
If you cast your eyes over to this page, you'll notice that we've got around 100,000 articles to assess - so it's kind of a cut and paste job. Since the = no parameter does not show up, what is the harm in doing this? Auroranorth 12:20, 28 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the help on the signature. I really do appreciate it! The articles I'm rating are usually stubs, and will probably stay that way (Have you ever heard of Agustin Tosco?). They are not likely to have more templates on them, and I really do think it looks neat. Auroranorth 12:28, 28 February 2007 (UTC)
 * I need to do some real life things right now - if you want to do these before I come back, that's OK (but you probably have better things to do!). I'll be back soon and if you decide not to do them, I'll certainly do them. Auroranorth 12:34, 28 February 2007 (UTC)

Wise words!
Thanks for your comment. It's really lovely to hear that! You don't know how warm it makes me feel. Auroranorth 11:57, 1 March 2007 (UTC)

Bleeding obvious
My apologies for soiling you work of art... there maybe those few who visit the page who need the obvious to be explained? SatuSuro 11:41, 2 March 2007 (UTC) OK - hey I'll take it offf. Hey sounds like I should find you some humour (I'll neede it picking number one from the mercedes post ball partey at 3e abloodym) SatuSuro 12:18, 2 March 2007 (UTC) We've been sprung! SatuSuro 12:24, 2 March 2007 (UTC) Reality (heheh your comments heheh) is a little more complex - he seems to be going to at least 5 balls this year, and he hasnt got around to getting his own suit yet... SatuSuro 12:37, 2 March 2007 (UTC) You got it SatuSuro 12:41, 2 March 2007 (UTC)

Banksia
Dryandra is no longer a current taxon. Every former Dryandra species is now a Banksia species, and should be referred to by its new name... except for Dryandra prionotes, which Mast and Thiele forgot to give a new name, so in the short term its current name is invalid :-(

There's a hell of a lot of work involved in this. I'll be p*ssed if Alex George overturns the transfer in a month or so.

The publication is largely a nomenclatural rather than taxonomic work. e.g. they've published Banksia ser. Spathulatae but haven't bothered to give a canonical list of the species that are in it. The taxonomy of Banksia is likely to be completely up in the air for a year or so, until someone gets around to publishing an updated arrangement. That's just fine with me, except that it makes it bloody hard to write about.

 * It's only nine pages. But fear not; I won't email it to you. Hesperian 13:03, 2 March 2007 (UTC)


 * Also note each of the existing Dyrandra species articles are now redirects to their new banksia equivelants. Gnangarra 13:22, 2 March 2007 (UTC)


 * Most botanists argue that all taxa should be monophyletic. These botanists would see a polyphyletic or paraphyletic taxon as an error, and try to fix it. Some botanists argue that phylogeny is not the be-all and end-all of taxonomy, and that having polyphyletic and paraphyletic taxa is not necessarily a bad thing.
 * A good example is reptiles and birds. Birds evolved from reptiles, so Sauropsida (reptiles) is paraphyletic with respect to Aves (birds). Most botanists would argue that since birds evolved from reptiles, the taxonomy should treat birds as a kind of reptile e.g. birds as an order within the reptile class. Others argue that taxonomy isn't bound to reflect phylogeny i.e. it is acceptable to rank reptiles and birds alongside each other even though one evolved from the other.
 * I don't know if it is accurate to characterise George v Thiele as an argument along these lines; or whether George is just being a stick in the mud. All I know is: in '81 George published his classic taxonomic arrangement of Banksia; in '96 Thiele and Ladiges published a new arrangement based on cladistics; in '99 George pretty much completely rejected their arrangement and went back to his own. So I wait with baited breath to see how George reacts to this latest piece of work.

 * I fear the above might be read as a suggestion that there's a bunfight going on, or about to start. In case you didn't see it on my talk page, Cas assures me that these debates are amicable. Hesperian 04:20, 3 March 2007 (UTC)

Hoax summaries
Richard Court has been edited by two diff redlink isps which have put rubbish in - the second has summarised my rvv as blatant vandalism - trust you can see we are dealing with red linkers who cotton on how to make it look like white is black SatuSuro 14:41, 3 March 2007 (UTC)
 * What, like "spelling corrections" that introduce POV paragraphs and ethnic slurs to articles? Never :) You should know this does not happen on Wikipedia, our policies are the light sabre of righteousness that not only advises the rules and guidelines but actively prevents wrongdoing by even the most hardy soul by dazzling their eyes and remotely locking their keyboards.

Hamersley
Thanks :) I'm now actively looking for my next target to get up there, although I'm going to spend a bit of time collaborating with DanielT5 on Wheatbelt articles in the near future - with me doing the facts and figures side of it and him doing the social and historical bits. We're still trying to decide what should go in shire and what in town though as the shires are actually more important than the towns out there - have had some ideas but am still thinking about it. Orderinchaos78 16:00, 3 March 2007 (UTC)
 * I am happy to pass the Dryandra Woodland for GA per my review at its talk page - however, I am happy to leave it open for further feedback if you wish. When I'm less tired I might have another look through the prose (I seem to be having real problems sleeping last week or two :/ return-to-study anxiety sucks!)

Article to edit?
Hi Moondyne - do you have any suggestions on a stub or non-existent article I could bring to FA without months of extensive research? Thanks, Auroranorth 08:56, 4 March 2007 (UTC)
 * It was a few months ago, so I can't remember. Someday I'll look through my contribs. I enjoy the Wikipedia Maintenance tasks, and I enjoy subjects that can be easily referenced. I don't want something that's already B class or higher. Something to do with Geography or Western Australia, maybe. Thanks in advance, Auroranorth 10:06, 4 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Thanks for your thought. Auroranorth (WikiDesk) 11:25, 4 March 2007 (UTC)
