Re: Distances
I wouldn't use Google Maps for distances in articles unless I really had too since it's only a guide and not always correct. It's best to source distances from more reliable sources which infact state that distance but only use Google Maps when you can't find a distance for a location (which I think would be rare).

Canberra
Hi,

based on your editing, you may wish to join up to WikiProject Canberra. Take a look and see what you think! Graeme Bartlett (talk) 21:13, 22 February 2009 (UTC)

Orange Climate
Hi! I have replied to your posts on my talk page, basically to say that I agree: I don't think that the Australian Bureau of Meteorology data is always presented in the most satisfactory or least complicated way possible. Ondewelle (talk) 21:58, 22 February 2009 (UTC)

2009 vic bushfires death toll
Hi, yeah I was aware of that, but many sources claimed 210 even before that resident died in hospital, a strange anomaly. I wouldn't call Victoria Police a bureaucratic entity, I'm willing to wait until they confirm or deny such assertions. Nick carson (talk) 10:26, 23 February 2009 (UTC)


 * Nah that's alright, I'll raise the issue on the talk page to prevent any edit wars. Nick carson (talk) 10:38, 23 February 2009 (UTC)

2009 southeastern Australia heat wave
Agreed. The royal comission and the BoM and the CSIRO and all those mobs are currently preparing such reports which will be big sources of factual complete information for us on these interrelated events.

I'm not sure the use of the term proximal cause is as clear cut as a term could be, I reckon something more like ...X & Y & Z & the heatwave, contributed to the conditions experienced on the 7th of February that led to the Kinglake Complex Firestorm etc. Nick carson (talk) 07:02, 28 February 2009 (UTC)

December 2019
Thank you for your contributions. Please mark your edits, such as your recent edits to Lisa Nowak, as "minor" only if they are minor edits. In accordance with Help:Minor edit, a minor edit is one that the editor believes requires no review and could never be the subject of a dispute. Minor edits consist of things such as typographical corrections, formatting changes or rearrangement of text without modification of content. Additionally, the reversion of clear-cut vandalism and test edits may be labeled "minor". Thank you. TJRC (talk) 01:06, 7 December 2019 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for December 26
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited List of female spacefarers, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page FAI. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ* Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)
