Mount Wellington
To see some sane editors are still around :) SatuSuro 13:58, 13 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Thanks. --Scott Davis Talk 13:59, 13 January 2008 (UTC)

I cannot count myself in - if you seem my contribs - with son number one inhabiting allnight internet cafes on george street sydney - SatuSuro 14:06, 13 January 2008 (UTC) And as for acotf we missed brisbane - it was perth to gold coast and we are heading south :| SatuSuro 14:20, 13 January 2008 (UTC)
 * No new photos from you then :-) Have a good trip. --Scott Davis Talk 14:22, 13 January 2008 (UTC)

Nullabor and places to gold coast - more than a 1,000 jpegs and mpegs but it will take months to sort thanks for the good wishes - SatuSuro 14:25, 13 January 2008 (UTC)


 * On my last holiday, Wikipedia didn't feature in the planning much. I ended up finding that I had taken mostly photos for articles that already had photos, and looking later found lots of towns and articles without photos, but I hadn't taken one there either :-) --Scott Davis Talk 21:23, 13 January 2008 (UTC)

Adelaide Wikimeetup 3
Hi Scott - we're planning a third meetup in Adelaide sometime in the coming weeks, and would love to have you there. If you can, please help decide a location, a date and a time here. Thanks!

Adelaide Wikimeetup 3
Hi ScottDavis - after some planning we've decided to hold the third Adelaide Wikimeetup on Sunday, 17th February, 2008. The meeting will be held at Billy Baxter's in Rundle Mall at 11:30AM. Further details and directions are available on the meetup page. Please RSVP here by 20:00UTC on 15th February 2008 (that's 6AM Saturday for our time zone) so that we can inform the restaurant about numbers. Hope to see you there!

Hi Scott - since Sunday is inconvenient for many people due to church, we are rescheduling for Saturday. I hope this will enable you to attend! Best, ~ Riana ⁂ 11:44, 6 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Excellent - I think I can make the Saturday :-) --Scott Davis Talk 13:55, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

Coastal fortifications of New Zealand
Hello Scott. Thank you for the reformatting you started on this page. However I am surprised you did not first raise the matter on the talk page. I have raised this formatting issue with WikiProject Geographical coordinates. Would you please now leave the page as it is until the matter has been resolved. --Geronimo20 (talk) 19:14, 27 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Thanks. I have responded at WikiProject Geographical coordinates. I will now wait for any discussion to resolve before completing the task, which was intended in good faith to make the map linked from more helpful and appealing.. --Scott Davis Talk 14:29, 28 February 2008 (UTC)
 * I'm not altogether happy about this Scott. You say that the "discussion seems generally in support". Maybe I'm missing something but I didn't see that at all – rather the discussion just seemed to bog. So I'm a little disappointed. However I accept you think you are doing the right thing and appreciate all the time and care you have put into reformatting the coordinates. --Geronimo20 (talk) 11:34, 29 February 2008 (UTC)


 * Uh, I've just seen your comment on WikiProject Geographical coordinates and I feel happier about that. --Geronimo20 (talk) 11:39, 29 February 2008 (UTC)


 * "Generally in support" was two that supported using the standard templates (for different reasons) and two others who proposed work-arounds using standard templates but proposing ways of not including the coordinate text in the table. You were the only one who opposed using the templates at all. The suggestion of a template (or perhaps monobook.css - see Template:Coord) to manage the display seemed like a viable longer-term solution, while maintaining consistency with other articles, printing, etc. Thankyou for your efforts in the projet too. --Scott Davis Talk 13:49, 29 February 2008 (UTC)

rabbit Flat
Nah no worries - the main thing was to show ref to the map as further reading and the fact that it cited the location (refs for that place are sure hard to find) - and thanks for cleaning up my exposing the main source :) - cheers SatuSuro 09:50, 8 March 2008 (UTC)

RfC
Just to let you know, further to the comments at ANI, I raised an RfC at Wikipedia talk:Template namespace Regards Matilda talk 00:06, 18 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Thanks. I've expresed an opinion and suggested a compromise that addresses our concerns and hopefully goes some way towards appeasing the opposing view, too. --Scott Davis Talk 11:36, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

Can you help???
this is a wiki that I made. Can you please help me with this project?? thanks.Sternhe (talk) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Sternhe (talk • contribs) 15:52, 12 April 2008 (UTC)


 * What kind of help do you think you need? I'm not an expert at mediawiki software, just a user of it on this site. --Scott Davis Talk 11:07, 13 April 2008 (UTC)

Cripes
The tirari desert art sure brings up some short comings of the sa project arts about the northern part of the state - the classic for me is the Far North, South Australia - ugh - like some of my very early articles - reference free and subjective :) I realised you started it some time ago - so please do not take the criticsms the wrong way :)SatuSuro 03:44, 23 June 2008 (UTC)

And good to see you at the tirari art - theres been a few of us tinkling away there - some interesting issues have arisen as well SatuSuro 11:58, 24 June 2008 (UTC)


 * Yeah - I'm working up Coward Springs, South Australia to at least be an interesting stub, and agree that both Mid North and Far North need a lot of work, although I'm not quite sure what it needs to be. --Scott Davis Talk 12:03, 24 June 2008 (UTC)

The saga of the art about regions and regionalisation of west oz - would suggest that there are intriguing variations between the state govt, fed govt, abs stuff, electoral stuff and various authorities - the best developed in the west oz lot is the south west so far SatuSuro 12:10, 24 June 2008 (UTC)

Oh well that was better than being poked with a blunt stick in the middle of a dark night (tirari desert) - I had forgotten that I had a weird work experience in the early 80's working for a very short with a land seismic crew west of moomba and took photos (!) problems i dont know where they are. SatuSuro 11:31, 6 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Sounds like cleanup time at your place :-) --Scott Davis Talk 12:40, 6 July 2008 (UTC)

Hope you are still there
Looking for a friendly admin - Ive just stuffed up a move ten mins ago and cant find anyone obviously active - need help with a tyop during a move - need a page deleted - can you help? SatuSuro 08:51, 3 August 2008 (UTC)

Tried another just in case SatuSuro 08:56, 3 August 2008 (UTC)

She did too - i suppose I gotta stuff up well every now and then - cheers SatuSuro 12:02, 3 August 2008 (UTC)

Michael Guglielmucci
i did not understand the first few sentences of this article. When was Michael Guglielmucci removed from his position at Planetshakers? Was he removed and then became sick? or Did he lie about the illness before being removed? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.167.137.84 (talk) 16:53, 21 August 2008 (UTC)
 * It appears that he's been lying the whole time, and finally fessed up at a meeting last Saturday :-( I expect that we'll hear more over time. In the meantime, prayer for him for whatever illness he does have, and for his family and friends who must be devastated by this news too seems to be in order. --Scott Davis Talk 10:09, 22 August 2008 (UTC)

Line on Moutn Wellington
Hi Scott

Congratulations on all you work

The line of boulders visible on Mount Wellington from afar.

According to the Hobart City council Wellington park people this is a power line easement. I suspect however that the easement followed the line of boulders not the other way around.

I wondered if you could point me to some authority on this as I need to prove the line was there way before the power easement

Devil's elbow
Nice picture! Pdfpdf (talk) 11:47, 12 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Thanks. It really shows how much longer the road through Eagle on the Hill is than the new one through the Heysen Tunnels. I finally remembered to have my camera at the ready when I had to catch a plane for work. --Scott Davis Talk 13:30, 13 November 2008 (UTC)

AdSteam
FYI, I'm starting work on the Adelaide Steamship Company here. If anyone else is interested, could you point them there please? BTW: Is there some mechanism in place where such "announcements" are posted? Cheers, Pdfpdf (talk) 16:29, 22 November 2008 (UTC)


 * I'd suggest any of WP:AWNB, WT:AUS or WP:BUSINESS talk page, or even Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Australian history depending exactly what kind of focus you're looking for. --Scott Davis Talk 13:15, 25 November 2008 (UTC)


 * Thanks. (Just the sort of information I was after.) Cheers, Pdfpdf (talk) 21:55, 25 November 2008 (UTC)

Adelaide city centre rename
Hi Scott can you please delete Adelaide_city_centre so Adelaide (suburb) can be moved back there. The rename was without much consultation and doesn't make much sense. See talk page. Thanks! Donama (talk) 03:43, 5 December 2008 (UTC) (already asked Cyberjunkie but she/he claims he's kind of retired so asking you instead)


 * Hi Scott. Can you please not move it back there. Contrary to Donama, I think it makes a lot of sense, and is a good idea. Surely "Donama" should first state their opinion on the talk page rather than call in "the big guns" as the first move? I will post on "Donama"s talk page. Perhaps you may wish to review the discussion and state an opinion before doing anything? Cheers, Pdfpdf (talk) 13:34, 5 December 2008 (UTC)


 * Oh dear. An edit conflict. I was typing my opinion, which is to put it back how it was, as I got this request. Really, the discussion should be wider than just two or three of you if possible. The convention is to leave the status quo until the conversation is complete, but it seems to me that you and AtD thought the conversation was over, although less than two days total and less than 12 hours from the last comment is pretty quick for a relatively quiescent article's talk page. --Scott Davis Talk 13:41, 5 December 2008 (UTC)


 * Edit conflicts left, right and centre!
 * Prior to conflict:
 * a) I see you and Donama have indeed done what I suggested. b) I'm not sure what I think the best solution is, but clearly, the CBD is only a small part of "the square mile", not to mention "the square mile plus the Parklands". Pdfpdf (talk) 13:47, 5 December 2008 (UTC)
 * After conflict:
 * c) Errrr. I wasn't the bold one. I just think it's a good idea. Pdfpdf (talk) 13:47, 5 December 2008 (UTC)

WP:ACOTF
Does this still run? If you can't run it anymore, I will if you want. --  Punk Boi 8 talk  05:19, 25 February 2009 (UTC)

Change of COTF
Hi -- could you change the ACOTF template to WikiProject Football (soccer) in Australia/To-do as per the voting here? Australian Matt (talk) 14:44, 11 April 2009 (UTC)
 * I would have, but Nick-D has beaten me to it. Thankyou to you both for picking it up. I'm afraid my life has become rather busier and I have more things outside of Wikipedia than I had a few years ago. It isn't likely to settle down significantly in the foreseeable future. --Scott Davis Talk 04:55, 12 April 2009 (UTC)

Drake in California?
I have written a nineteen page histography about California wrongly claiming a Drake landing but I don't how to post it.

My book "Franics Drake in Nehalem Bay 1579, Setting the Historical Record Straight" was printed in late 2008. The Oregon Archeological Society review the book in the December 2008 Newsletter. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 137.118.203.246 (talk) 22:15, 27 August 2009 (UTC)
