Hi, I forgot to include the fact that he was the first (or on eof the first, info isnt quite clear) convicts to be released from a life sentence after less than 5 years. Is this acceptable? And by the way, Family History does not interest me, I just wanted to put some convict stuff in. —The preceding

Fair enough. It looked like a family history thing to me, given the amount of family information including links for articles about other family members. I'm all for more convict stuff. As far as the early pardon goes, I'm not sure that alone counts as notable but I'm happy to leave that to others to decide. Was he granted a conditional pardon in 1824 or a ticket of leave?

Hi, I was just wondering if you were using a rollback button and if it has been giving you trouble of recent. If you do use the rollback button, does the URL bar have something that says &fakeaction=rollback or does it say &action=rollback? --Jay (Reply) 21:45, 26 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there Jay. I haven't been using the rollback feature as I don't have admin status, sadly. I'm new to vandalism reversions and have only been doing them for the last couple of weeks.

The revert you performed unfortunately rolled back to another version that had been vandalised - remember to check after the revert that that hasn't happened. If it does, perform a manual revert to the last clean version. Thanks. haz (user talk) 11:17, 6 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks Haza-w. Maybe its just me but I'm noticing more and more instances when there are 2 different IP addresses vandalising the same article in succession. I've been checking but obviously missed that one. It still needed a further edit to get it back to a clean version. Gimboid13 11:29, 6 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hey dude, Bitburg High School is not your school and you shouldn't try to control what people say about it. The reason people adding to articles like that is just for fun. If you had ever actually been to Bitburg High School, you would know that they were just kidding. So what if what is said is "trivial" or doesn't matter. There is good content in there and it isn't like tons of people are running around trying to find information about the teachers from BHS. Plus, what they said is true and doesn't really matter anyway. Just calm down and ignore whatever happens to the BHS site, or maybe

== Add comment about merger for you could go there yourself so you can make an "educated" decision on what to say about BHS.

Hi. I have been thinking about starting Neville Fletcher (who is a visiting fellow here a the ANU) and noticed your aritcle on TUNE! FM mentions him.

• copyedit: Hansi Brand (Joel Brand's wife); for Hansi Brand, Joel Brand's wife;

(The copyedit was intended for disambiguation as anyone missing the comma/semicolon might misread this as two different people)

Hi Gimboid13,

I have uploaded a couple of new pics of the Bathurst Courthouse. Was wondering if you would mind if I replaced your image in the Bathurst article, as I think mine might be better since they're panoramic views of the full building. Could you also give a suggestion on which of mine you think is better?

Since yours is pretty good already, was just wanting to ask you first (I'm not sure that the article needs more than one pic of the courthouse, though we could make a gallery).

Gimboid 13,

A gentle warning: Deleting work on a page without clear explanation is (according to me and several other Yass Wikipedians) Unquestionably uneeded.

Deleting the External Links on the Yass article must be looked in to and discussed with its creator (myself). Nathan Furry. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 59.167.54.242 (talk • contribs)

Are you referring to this edit? If so, please refer to the edit summary. As I mentioned, Wikipedia is not a link repository. Please see the Wikipedia style manual entry for External links. Gimboid13 09:34, 2 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

According to these rules, it would have to be determined by an admin whether or not the links are considered as link repositories. Some of these pages however did look into more of Yass History. In this case, It should be highly noted that deletion may not of been neccessary for some links.59.167.54.242 09:54, 2 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

If you consider they meet the criteria in the style manual then, by all means, add them back in. Admin intervention is unnecessary. Anyone can add or delete content. That's how Wikipedia works. Of course there are some general rules, like the style manual, but as long as your work broadly adheres to those it stands a good chance of being retained.

Would you support the concept of moving the Earhart "myths" to a separate page or article? The reason for my suggesting this is that the main article should be an accurate and scholarly work while the speculation and conspiracy theories surrounding the disappearance of Amelia Earhart are interesting, they belong in a unique section. Most researchers, as you know, discount the many theories and speculation that has arisen in the years following her last flight. Go onto the Earhart discussion page and register your vote/comments...and a Happy New Year to you as well. Bzuk 05:02 3 January 2007 (UTC).

have a look at the discussion at the talk page for the dubbo entry and see what you think. Thanks Wayne Connor

Hello Wayne. Take a look at Wikipedia:External_links, particularly the sections Links normally to be avoided and Advertising and conflicts of interest. Does anything there apply to http://www.dubbo.org? Gimboid13 09:19, 4 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Yes Gimbold, I checked this out and It *IS* a conflict of interest. I did place a link to my own site, (12 months ago) I didn't realise there was policy not to do this. Thanks, it could have been a bit embarrassing if I continued down that line.

Anyway, I just put an apology on the talk page. And a note:

I will leave the link off this site if, but I do think it provides unique information on Dubbo. I'll leave it for someone else to put the dubbo.org link on under links if they think it adds to the Dubbo page.

Someone is editing the talk page and they removing my above comments from there. I reverted these.

Thanks for the help. Wayne Connor 21:40, 5 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Could you please have some consideration for the people who spend time editing and adding to articles and then you come up and change what they have edited.

Mate, your idea to merge is crap! Live with it! Please refrain from vandalising my talk page! 58.163.137.138 08:42, 14 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I thought that the idea of wikipedia was to inform and educate! You have changed the article so much that there is little information on it at all. The information i added (about the chnaged occuring by 2008) was information that is necessary and informs the reader more about the school, why do you continue to delete it? Contact details are necessary and have been included in English High School of Boston article. (Jane 01 04:16, 4 February 2007 (UTC))[reply]

Thanks for replying Jane. I hope we can sort this out without resorting to edit wars.

Do you mean

English High School of Boston? I can see nothing I'd call contact details there. In any case, an isolated example does not define the policy which, as I've already explained, is spelt out at What Wikipedia is not

. In short, Wikipedia is not a directory. Wikipedia is not the white pages. Wikipedia is not the yellow pages. Street addresses and phone numbers should not be included. The external link provides more than adequate contact information.

Do you really think I've changed the article so much that there's little left? I've removed some statements of the obvious, like 'it offers a range of subjects' and some trivial information that might be worth mentioning in a school newsletter, but not an encyclopedia article. Have you read WikiProject Schools which lists recommended content for schools articles? Gimboid13 11:36, 4 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Information such as: "Since then it has undergone many transformations; such as name and uniform changes" is the history of the school, which should be included, and i'm sure that would not be found in a newsletter!

Also general information about the school needs to be included, any good article would have the history of the school, the current way the school is, and future changes that are to be made such as: the 2008 changes at NSC.

You wrote "Niddrie Secondary College Niddrie, Victoria, Australia" at the start, how is that not contact details, it clearly says where the school is located. In fact i could even go as far as saying that the above is insufficient information, and that more accurate contact details need to be placed in, people reading an article need to know where and how they can contact the school and by adding that in the article means not only that wikipedia contains more information but that they do not need to access the school's website to contact them.

I am asking that you allow me to write an accurate and detailed article about niddrie sc, i will include information that i feel is required, is it OK if i write it and replace the current article with it and can you leave it there long enough so wikipedians can see how much improved my version of the article is?

Kind Regards, (Jane 01 09:03, 6 February 2007 (UTC))[reply]

Hi Jane. I agree that the history of the school, including name changes, is relevant but the number of lockers and uniform changes are really a bit too trivial for an encyclopedia article. Most school articles have the town or suburb in which the school is located. By contact information I mean street addresses, phone numbers, email addresses, etc. If you were wanting to contact the school you'd go to the phone book or other directory, not an encyclopedia. The article should be written for a worldwide audience, not just people wanting to ring them up or drop in. It needs to describe what makes the school notable, like the sort of information at WikiProject Schools. That said, I'm happy enough to leave the article alone for a couple of weeks.

No you don't understand, i have gone to that page but how do i leave a response, it it just through editing, like a new paragraph or what??

(Spencer 02 05:40, 2 March 2007 (UTC))[reply]

Add whatever you think is necessary. The paragraph you've added looks like as good a format as any. I don't think it's reasonable to say I refused to help. And you shouldn't remove the sockpuppet notice from your userpage until the issue is decided. Gimboid13 07:20, 2 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry forgot to sign in, I was under the impression that if the evidence was insufficient (which it is) i could remove the notice. By the way, if the conclusion of this case is in my favour am i then able to create Sports trainer article without any problems? As there is no reason for it to not be included in the articles. (Spencer 02 01:40, 3 March 2007 (UTC))[reply]

According to the sockpuppet notice "If the accuser has listed evidence against you, you are not allowed to remove the notice from your page for ten days." There's no restriction on you creating any article you like. Of course any contributions will be edited to comply with Wikipedia's policies and style guidelines. Gimboid13 03:16, 3 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I am really disappointed that you have opened this sockpuppet case. Can't you just accept the fact that i have one same interest as another user? Why is this so hard for you to come to terms with? Did you take a look at the sports trainer article before it was deleted? It is the only reason i created an account was to re-create it, there was nothing wrong with it at all and it improved wikipedia. Okay, you think i'm no good, i won't do it, you re-create sports trainer, you re-create the article if it will make you happy, it just deserves to be on wikipedia. I can send you (by email) the content if your unsure of what to put in it. You re-create it if it will make you happy, and if you re-create it i will cancel my account, i just want the article to be on wikipedia. The idea of wikipedia is to inform, adding sports trainer help to further inform people. Are you happy with what i have asked? (Spencer 02 06:21, 4 March 2007 (UTC))[reply]

The {{DEFAULTSORT:}} with a colon is not a template, but rather something called a "magic word". See that help file for some of it, and Wikipedia talk:Categorization and the project page.

I think somebody created a template (the vertical bar version) at first just to inform people of what the magic word was, and then probably made it work by incorporating the magic word but it is better to use the magic word directly. There is a link in the listings below the edit screen that will put it on the page with the cursor placed for entering the sort key, something that you might find useful (one of the things I like about it is that it mostly prevents the formatting errors I might otherwise make, not only transposition or capitalization errors--the magic word is case sensitive, must be all caps--but also other things such as forgetting to close it off or closing it off with square brackets rather than curly ones). Gene Nygaard 12:41, 14 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, this is Bradles 01, i have returned as another sock! But don't worry i am over wikipedia and i have only created this account to inform you of that. I have decided that wikipedia is not my thing, too many nerds like you editing! A couple of things before i go:

• Do me a favour and don't edit comments on my talk page. It is my talk page, not yours so do not 'restore' discussions if i have deleted them, you have no right to do that. If you alter my discussion page again i will be reporting you!

If all of you computer nerds don't want a Sports Trainer article well it is your loss, i have created my own website about sports trainers for normal people to view. I will also be making sure that i inform all of my friends that wikipedia is not a good site and that every user on it are so stupid that they can't see the difference between a Sports Trainer and an athletic trainer and that they are also rude and disruptive.

I think that this account (David 01) will probably be blocked within about three minutes of me posting this message, as you do not have a life and all that is in your life is wikipedia (but you're not the only one, other users are like that too). It's funny because you're not even getting paid for your edits on wikipedia, so it really is because you have nothing better to do!

Anyway it's been an entertaining few months. Goodbye Forever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!(David 02 10:01, 25 March 2007 (UTC))AKA User:Bradles_01[reply]

I came across the

Hello Oo7565. I've been doing some categorisation recently and have been adding prod templates and making other appropriate edits to previously uncategorised articles along the way. I've mostly just used the standard categorisation edit summary (Categorizing article - You can help!) but I can see the benefit of adding a 'prod' tag to that as well where appropriate. I'll do that in future. By the way, if you're using your prod-summary template to suggest a more descriptive edit summary rather than just cases with no edit summary at all, could I suggest you add some suitable words to cover those cases? Gimboid13 06:19, 3 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Just a note to say I thought your changes to Mt Tennant (have I got the spelling right?) were most interesting. I hadn't realized it had been named before (other than the Aboriginal name which i should have put in).

Thanks! Gillyweed 07:27, 8 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks also. Your article is correct. The mountain is Tennent but the bushranger is Tennant. Were you planning on starting an article about the bushranger? I could probably dig up enough for a small contribution. Not sure if Captain Mark Currie is the same as Mark John Currie. I couldn't find a connection anywhere. I noticed you've been doing some good work on the early history of the Canberra area. It's an interest of mine too.Gimboid13 09:00, 8 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I've done an article on John Tennant now. I'd appreciate it if you would review and edit it and add any additional material. I've struggled with the many different stories told about his fate. You might have some clearer sources. Oh, happy to keep all this discussion on your page. I'll keep an eye on it! Best wishes Gillyweed 12:11, 8 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Nice work! I've added a bit about his early history and arrival in Canberra from a booklet by Stephan Williams. I'll add some more when I get a change. Cheers! Gimboid13 05:43, 9 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Gary Nairn

Hi

You wrote:

Hi Golden Wattle. Noticed your referencing work on the Gary Nairn article. Most, if not all, of the last three para of the article seem to be to be quite tangential to the subject. Wikipedia policy at WP:NOT#NEWS looks to be be relevant here and I think those paras should probably go before the article becomes a magnet for party hacks (if it hasn't already). What do you think? Gimboid13 08:16, 21 September 2007 (UTC)

I don't like the lack of balance to the articel and had raised that issue some time ago at AWNB. However, I don't think the material is tangential to the subject. The latest issue with Nairn's Cheif of Staff got a lot of coverage on PM (not just one day) and raises some serious issues. The April Fool's hoax is also an interesting issue. The references meet WP:RS. I don't think it is in breach of WP:NOT#NEWS any more than many other articles about Australian politicians are - see for example the Kevin Andrews article. This is not day by day reporting but the last 3 pras contina reference to a 1996 speech, a hoax in 2005 and 2006 and inappropriate behaviour by his member of staff against another candidate in 2007 - I don't think that could be said to

WPNOTnews says News reports. Wikipedia considers the historical notability of persons and events, while keeping in mind the harm our work might cause. Someone or something that has been in the news for a brief period is not necessarily a suitable subject for an article in their own right. - Nairn is most certainly eligible for his own article ...Routine news coverage and matters lacking encyclopedic substance, such as announcements, sports, gossip, and tabloid journalism, are not sufficient basis for an article. News outlets are reliable secondary sources when they practice competent journalistic reporting, however, and topics in the news may also be encyclopedic subjects when the sources are substantial. Timely news subjects not suitable for Wikipedia may be suitable for Wikinews - I don't think the matters raised are routine news coverage or gossip - they have more substance. I also believe they do not breach WP:BLP.

As they are referenced according to WP policies for reliable sources I think the facts should stay. Regards --

Welcome some feedback

Hello, my name is Isucheme and I am currently writing my first Wikipedia article on the Churchill-Bernstein Equation. The equation is used to find an average (convection) heat transfer coefficient to use in Newton’s Law of cooling for a cylinder in cross flow, and the mass transfer analogy, as described in the article, can be employed to find a mass transfer coefficient. I would appreciate any feed back you can give me on my article so I can make it a great article. Thank you. Isucheme 17:00, 23 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
