2010–2011 Queensland floods
Actually I added the sentence about rain throughout December. I also added the sentence about the monsoon trough. I was trying to fix the sentence "They resulted from heavy precipitation caused by Tropical Cyclone Tasha" written by someone else, which was in the lead, by combining it with the causes mentioned in Bureau believes worst is over, because it was incorrectly attributing the cyclone as the sole cause. - Shiftchange (talk) 14:10, 7 January 2011 (UTC)
 * A bit of good faith would be nice in your edit summary! Bidgee (talk) 10:57, 10 January 2011 (UTC)
 * I try - and then some times, I just have bad days. Thanks for the reminder, though. Accepted, in good faith. It must have been fun, changing all those dates. :-) Jherschel (talk) 11:15, 10 January 2011 (UTC)

Ben Roberts-Smith
Hi, I have raised some concerns about your expansion of Ben Roberts-Smith at Talk:Ben Roberts-Smith. Hopefully, you can put my concerns to rest. Many thanks, Mattinbgn (talk) 22:47, 23 January 2011 (UTC)

NSW ministries
Hi. I was just going through your new template for all the nsw ministries and i could not help but notice that it was different to the method used for federal ministries here: Template:Australian federal ministries. Would it not be better to have them organised in that manner, showing a distinct ministry for each parliament instead of having one for each premier/non-consecutive term and just showing the changes in there? That way it is more linear and easier to understand. Your thoughts...Siegfried Nugent (talk) 12:00, 13 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the feedback. I have not finished the template for the NSW Ministries. I have commenced at the first ministry and so far have made it up to the thirteenth ministry. I've been a little preoccupied with a few other things, but I was trying to do one a day - now it's one a month! I'm not too sure exactly what your point is. Could you explain in a little more detail? It is worth noting the this period of Colonial Government was marked by long periods of political instability - due in part to no party structures. Indeed, over the whole period that I've covered (spanning 16 years and 13 ministries) the longest period of government was 2 years and 278 days by both the third Cowper ministry and the second Martin ministry. That's a lot of change. No one ministry led by any (Colonial) Premier immediately served a subsequent term. Jherschel (talk) 10:03, 14 February 2011 (UTC)

Hi. Keep up the good work. What I was saying was that in regards to the federal ministry templates, when you get past the relatively unstable pre-federation era in NSW and you get into several-term governments like with Bob Askin, Bill McKell, Neville Wran, Bertram Stevens etc. We will need to list the ministries numerically. For example: Bob Askin won four elections and, consequently had four distinct cabinets. Does that make any sense? Probably not, In any case I shall help compile some ministry lists as well. I have already done the Willis Ministry. Cheers. Siegfried Nugent (talk) 11:53, 14 February 2011 (UTC)

Dominello, Davies, etc.
Just wanted to say that you're doing a heck of a job getting these articles in shape! Rebecca (talk) 07:42, 26 April 2011 (UTC)


 * Was just coming back to say the same about your work on the Bali Nine. Have you thought about nominating these for good article status? I think they're all pretty much there already - so much so that you've just about got a good topic made as is. Rebecca (talk) 14:28, 28 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Hi. Thanks. There is still some way to go, but I'm getting there. I'm yet to tackle Nguyen and Rush and Chan, who I started first, need revisiting to fit in with the later work that I did with the other six. Final sentencing for Sukumaran is still to be resolved. And then I expect that Chen, Nguyen, and Martin Stephens will get a reduction in their sentences. Finally, I'm yet to capture the way the Indonesian legal system of appeals works; which is somewhat unusual and different to most Western countries. I'll give consideration to your request once Sukerman's appeal is resolved. Jherschel (talk) 09:36, 29 June 2011 (UTC)

Saul Samuel
It wasn't deleted for lack of notability - we had some dropkick a few years back who created a few hundred pages consisting solely of "Joe Bloggs was an Australian politician", a whole bunch of which were at the wrong names, and generally created a heck of a mess. Feel free to recreate it at any time. :) Rebecca (talk) 06:25, 16 July 2011 (UTC)

Talkback on User:Siegfried Nugent
G'day,

You don't need to leave a talkback on someone's userpage if you're posting to their talkpage. It'll show up (like this edit did) next time they log in.

You only need to use it when you're responding to them on another talkpage (and in those cases, you leave it on their talk page).  &tilde;danjel [ talk | contribs ] 14:13, 4 September 2011 (UTC)

GA noms
Jhershel: take a look at what I did on Andrew Chan. MOS:QUOTATION MARK says don't use quotemarks in block quotes. While you used a colon indent for the quotes, it had the same effect as blockquoting. Also, don't use italics for entire quotes. Without looking at your other GANs, I bet they have the same problem of style. So I leave it up to you to make the corrections. (I like to use the quote template.) Otherwise I think Chan is a good article. (But I'm not experienced enough in this area to do a GA review.) Regards. --S. Rich (talk) 00:59, 15 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the feedback. I've always wondered what is the correct manner of style. Jherschel (talk) 08:56, 15 November 2011 (UTC)

Your GA nomination of Andrew Chan
The article Andrew Chan you nominated as a good article has failed ; see Talk:Andrew Chan for reasons why the nomination failed. If or when these points have been taken care of, you may apply for a new nomination of the article. Jezhotwells (talk) 13:13, 5 December 2011 (UTC)

Your WP:GA nomination of Scott Rush
Hi Rangasyd, thank you for nominating this article for GA status. I'm sorry to say that it has failed the GA criteria. If you like, you can do further work on it an resubmit it later. Please see the article talk page for comments and a to do list. Thank you for all your hard work on this article and for all your good efforts on Wikipedia. Cheers! -- — Keithbob • Talk  • 19:35, 7 December 2011 (UTC)

Your GA nomination of Myuran Sukumaran
The article Myuran Sukumaran you nominated as a good article has failed ; see Talk:Myuran Sukumaran for reasons why the nomination failed. If or when these points have been taken care of, you may apply for a new nomination of the article.
 * The other articles, Martin Stephens, Tan Duc Thanh Nguyen and Si Yi Chen need improvements and hav been on hold for 7 days, during which time there has been no indication that the concerns will be addressed. I shall unfortunately have to fail them tomorrow unless you give such an indication. Grandiose (me, talk, contribs) 10:44, 13 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Thanks. It's probably best to let them fail for the time being. It was a pity, but understand the reasoning. Thanks again. Rangasyd (talk) 10:58, 13 December 2011 (UTC)

Hickey
The Foley link was not the right one - most of the WA bishops info is short of the full dollar - cheers SatuSuro 12:21, 21 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the dab. Yeah. I've been working through the Catholic Church for some months now. I first started working on getting info boxes for each diocese and archdiocese. And now I'm working on each bishop and archbishop. It's a big project, but getting there. Hickey was a mess and needed prompt action to clear up a fair amount of WP:POV. Please let me know if your keen to help. Cheers. Rangasyd (talk) 12:44, 21 December 2011 (UTC)

Those messages thingoes go at the bottom of the page - talk page - not the top.. I am a very erratic and formerly very heavy/large eit editor - sorry not very active on in depth work at the moment due to strictures on time.. a bit of this and that SatuSuro 12:51, 21 December 2011 (UTC)

John Brady
I've been meaning to do this for a while-he'd make an interesting article. Got into bigtime trouble with Rome and remains dug up reburied last year at St Mary's. Moondyne (talk) 02:46, 22 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Ok. Sounds interesting. I'm working my way through the prelates, one by one. I've done Hickey, Prendiville, and am currently working on Gibney. I thought I'd get to Brady last; so feel welcome to make a start. They're all in rather a mess. It would be good to source URL of the media article(s) re remains being dug up. Was that the same time as Gibney and Grivr's remains were exhumed? Rangasyd (talk) 02:56, 22 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Pity I kept throwing out my copies of The Record of this year - they had good articles on the missing bits of WA Bishop history - I almost certain there is nothing online SatuSuro 06:25, 22 December 2011 (UTC)
 * All is not lost. The Record has some content online. Is this, "Brady's missing years", what you were looking for? By the way, who would have thought Goody had a KBE? Rangasyd (talk) 13:31, 22 December 2011 (UTC)
