Alinta

There is discussion about the update the Australian energy company Alinta article and its connection to Alinta Energy. Your input to clarify these issue and update these articles is appreciated. Beagel (talk) 09:23, 12 May 2012 (UTC)

Melbourne

I'd like to see my image on Wikipedia page. I removed the two others because they are both old as well and don't really illustrate contemporary Melbourne as a whole, just the Docklands, and replaced them with newer image of the skyline. I took the image specifically to use to illustrate Melbourne on Wikipedia site, why is it removed? Ericardo1979 (talk) 14:08, 20 May 2012 (UTC)

Sorry but age doesn't matter in this case! Sure the photos are at least five to six years old but you photo is far less quality and low resolution then the ones you're removing. The two photos you removed (without discussion on the talk page of the article) are high resolution and quality, infact all of them is featured on Wikipedia and one on Commons. If you expect that your photo should be here, then you need to make sure it is better then the one you're replacing but sorry it isn't good enough as I've stated here, the edit summary and the article's talk page. Bidgee (talk) 14:13, 20 May 2012 (UTC)

Regarding my Melbourne image

I have left a few comments regarding my photo of Melbourne and Port Phillip on talk page. Ericardo1979 (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 08:18, 22 May 2012 (UTC).

Copyright ?

Huh??? Copyright error?? Didn't I state the source as myself accurately?? --Ashton 29 (talk) 08:51, 27 May 2012 (UTC)

Australian Wood Duck

Please don't undertake highly contentious changes without discussion. There is a long-established and accepted convention that bird species are always capitalised on Wikipedia. If you disagree with that convention, get it changed, don't just unilaterally change one of more than 9,000 bird articles to lc. Jimfbleak - talk to me? 14:52, 28 June 2012 (UTC)

According to User:Jimfbleak's block log, he was unblocked for agreeing to "avoid the articles for now". If you make the same agreement, I see not reason not to treat the situation exactly the same.--v/r - TP 16:05, 28 June 2012 (UTC)
I cannot agree on "avoid the articles for now", far too broad as it would mean I can't edit nor comment in any move discussion. Also seems wrong for the Admin to be unblocked since they know that others in the Bird project will do the dirty work anyway. Bird project will not show any diffs to a broad or site wide consensus for the IOC names and the capitaisations, only stuff I've seen has been
local. Jimfbleak used the rollback tool on Australian wood duck [1] and [2]. Bidgee (talk
) 16:51, 28 June 2012 (UTC)
I'm also concerned that ErikHaugen is far more talkative on Jimfbleak's talk page but not on mine? This is really was a punitive block. Bidgee (talk) 16:54, 28 June 2012 (UTC)
I've tried to respond to everything both of you have said. I don't think anyone is asking you to avoid move discussions, or RfCs at WP:CAPS, etc. I'm certainly not. ErikHaugen (talk | contribs) 17:00, 28 June 2012 (UTC)
I cannot agree on "avoid the articles for now"—Would you at least agree to stop reverting without a chance for discussion? ErikHaugen (talk | contribs) 17:02, 28 June 2012 (UTC)
Bird project uses its talk page to revert contested renames and also uses the talk page to get involved (those whom are part of the Birds project) Admins to move them if a non-Admin has a "road block". I should have the right to restore the name as it was (ie:
WP:COMMONNAME. Bidgee (talk
) 17:07, 28 June 2012 (UTC)
Again you've not addressed the fact the block is punitive one. Bidgee (talk) 17:15, 28 June 2012 (UTC)
Seems that Jimfbleak is treated like a king and I'm treated like a fucking criminal. Bidgee (talk) 17:23, 28 June 2012 (UTC)
The block isn't punative when you will not agree to "stop reverting without a chance for discussion." That makes it a preventative block. If you agree to stop move warring, you will be unblocked. It's as simple as that. You hold the power to unblock. Quit the disruptive actions and you'll be unblocked. Please explain how on earth that can be construed as not preventative? (Or simply agree to quit move warring, and I'll unblock you).--v/r - TP 17:26, 28 June 2012 (UTC)
(ec)I don't know how to address the punitive issue. I blocked to stop the endless string of rapid page moves and reverts; that is the only reason. I unblocked Jimfbleak because he agreed to stop and even avoid the pages, I would be more than happy to unblock you if you would agree to stop reverting moves without discussion. ErikHaugen (talk | contribs) 17:28, 28 June 2012 (UTC)
Bidgee—it's true that BIRDS is quite vigilant about reverting moves to lowercase. Usually someone drops a note on the talk page of the editor who originally moved a page to lowercase, eg
Maned Duck? I don't think anyone wants to stop you from opening any RMs along these lines. Or just moving pages and then opening an RM if someone objects in order to get wider discussion. ErikHaugen (talk | contribs
) 17:28, 28 June 2012 (UTC)
While I agree that my actions where not the best, I again can't agree with "stop reverting moves without discussion" since this will prevent me from moving an article bsck to its original even once, let alone twice. Bidgee (talk) 17:33, 28 June 2012 (UTC)
Come back Bidgee - You do good work - we need you. Get unblocked and work it out with more discussion. - Youreallycan 16:16, 28 June 2012 (UTC)
I will not come back while a project highjacks articles on a so called consensus which they will not discuss (this goes back a bit), breaches

) 16:51, 28 June 2012 (UTC)
I'm certainly sympathetic to your point about local consensus, but we can't resolve it this way. I don't think Jimfbleak used any administrative functions in all this, by the way; as far as I can tell Jim wasn't acting as an admin at all. ErikHaugen (talk | contribs) 17:00, 28 June 2012 (UTC)
He did use the delete tool. Bidgee (talk) 17:07, 28 June 2012 (UTC)
Hmm; perhaps you are right. ErikHaugen (talk | contribs) 17:28, 28 June 2012 (UTC)

Thank you Doc9871 for reverting the troll(s) rubbish, would give a barn star to you but can't. Bidgee (talk) 16:55, 28 June 2012 (UTC) As of today, I'll no longer be contributing to any Wikimedia project, that also includes Commons where I still have a backlog of photographs that were to be uploaded. I see know point when long term editors get treated like shit. I see no point any more. Bidgee (talk) 17:27, 28 June 2012 (UTC) WTF? I'M NOT FUCKING STIRRING DRAMA FFS.Bidgee (talk) 17:36, 28 June 2012 (UTC)

Bais

Because I pointed out that the block is purely preventative and explained how you have complete control of it, you reverted it as bias? Ok, I'm out. Obviously you intend to stir drama that hold yourself accountable for clear move warring. I can't be arsed to waste my time on you.--v/r - TP 17:33, 28 June 2012 (UTC)

block

While I agree that my actions where not the best, I again can't agree with "stop reverting moves without discussion" since this will prevent me from moving an article bsck to its original even once, let alone twice.—Fair enough. Can you agree to only revert moves as part of a "bold-revert-discuss" cycle? ErikHaugen (talk | contribs) 17:51, 28 June 2012 (UTC)

IE: (1RR), yes but the Bird project need to also cease the disputed moves. Also TParis, get your fact right. I never said I wasn't in the wrong. Bidgee (talk) 17:57, 28 June 2012 (UTC)

Hello, you might want to review

Qube Logistics article at the time of its nomination) then the article is in fact a candidate for speedy deletion. Thanks.    Thorncrag 
11:41, 8 June 2012 (UTC)

I didn't base it on being listed on the ASX but to the fact that it did have one primary source and two newspaper sources (per WP:LISTED), therefore speedy deletion isn't appropriate. It was best to tag it with refimprove and if nothing was done within a week or two then list it for AfD. Bidgee (talk) 11:47, 8 June 2012 (UTC)

Nuclear Warfare Barnstar

Being a graphic designer, I was wondering if you could help me. I award the File:Nuclear Barnstar.png to wikipedians who help me with nuclear articles. However, it looks so-so with its black and white background. I was wondering if you could create a new version with a colour version, say one from commons:Category:Mushroom clouds?
