Some day one of us in the wa project is gonna have to do a map of the whole railway system for the WA project anyway - i downloaded the software i need to make one but need a clear head and plenty spare time to work out how to do that - the ways things are shaping up - that means next year :(

Thanks for writing that. Nice work. It was on my to-do list. Moondyne 13:28, 26 October 2008 (UTC)

Re {{Towns Great Southern WA}} - that was done from the LGA article lists. If you see any missing which will in an ideal world have an article, feel free to add them to the template. I had the help of a Wheatbelt local for the Wheatbelt template when I did that. Orderinchaos 07:52, 29 October 2008 (UTC)

Well deserved, let me buy you a cup of coffee one day. Dylans? Regards, cygnis insignis 11:24, 16 December 2008 (UTC)

Albs, yep. Long time fan, newly resident. After new year is good for me too. Been meaning to drop you a note, very impressed with the work you have done. I've been doing a bit on Albany already, history and plants mainly. Regards to you too, cygnis insignis 13:51, 16 December 2008 (UTC)

You got anything on it? - I reckon we need to get it on as there are multiple issues - oil exploration on it - a very odd oil show with idiosyncratic features and - also the flora and fauna seem to have some interesting refs to the location

I am almost certain there are declared rare flora on the range

You are always generous and i never come up with the goods myself - thank you!

Thanks for that - bloody watsonia - some people i know reckon it is a 10 to 20 year project to remove watsonia from any one location :(

Oh hell the coastal regions art could do with so much work - there are so many components I havent even started working on :(

There is actually a 'beaches' of western australia book (its in the biblio of the art) - it identifies every beach in wa - ^ Short, Andrew D (2005)Beaches of the Western Australian Coast: Eucla to Roeback Bay

Re: your recent edits to Tony O'Gorman... Please read

we need to re-write it to reality - it is a notable pastoral lease just out of yalgoo http://henrietta.liswa.wa.gov.au/search~S1?/dThundelarra+(W.A.)/dthundelarra+w+a/-3%2C-1%2C0%2CB/exact&FF=dthundelarra+w+a&1%2C5%2C - the quidditch stuff has been changed at the quidditch ref - my main computer is in hospital and working on this one is murderous - so if you dont re-write remind me to do so

I was lazy when I defined this in Vermont, USA. Following local conventions I shoulda defined it as "Barton River (Lake Mempremagog)", modifying it with the place it trickles into, a stupid convention but guarantees a unique definition 99% of the time. IFF we did this, we would probably still need a disambiguation page for Barton River. Let's face it, we haven't scratched the surface of all the Barton Rivers in the world. Probably dozens of them.

Then, we would have to change all the links to Barton River Vermont. I'm too lazy to really want to do this, but I don't want to pretend that I really own the name just because I was first!

Anyway. Your call. Student7 (talk) 21:04, 3 April 2009 (UTC)

We're still trying to sort it out ourselves :) The category structure for politicians has been so tangled that it needed a rethink (and considerable simplification), but it now seems to work. Orderinchaos 05:42, 6 April 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for all the hard work - glad someone is getting it done!!!

Lake Monjingup and Lake Mortijinup are two different lakes. This is clear from the

Lake Mortijinup is a much larger lake past the end of the Telegraph Road. It is a centre of another nature reserve, Lake Mortijinup Nature Reserve, but I do not think there is standard two-wheel drive vehicle access to it.

I think the information on the page confuses these two lakes.

Should we perhaps create two different artciles?BorisG (talk) 16:39, 25 December 2009 (UTC)

No worries at all :) BTW I did maps for all the suburbs over at Commons at the time which can be found at Commons:Category:Maps of Albany, Western Australia - feel free to use them for the other ones.

Reminds me - I have to do the Bunbury suburbs one day. Have been so busy with QLD politics (of all things) that I have unfinished projects all over the place. I even have photos I took way back in 2006 which I have yet to upload.

Hope you're well - I'm in the job market atm and doing some part time study while I wait for something to come up (I moved sideways into the TAFE sector, but chose a really bad time to do so it seems) Orderinchaos 07:28, 6 March 2010 (UTC)

Hughesdarren - You continually edit the Albany Senior High School website to remove content that is not contested as being accurate. Under Wikipedia's 'Verifiable' instruction page it is stipulated that content only needs citation if its accuracy is contested. Please do not continue to contest the addended information to the Albany Senior High School article out of vendetta. The Albany Senior High School Pine Forest information is known by all who attended the school (as staff or students) during the 2002 upgrades. As you are yourself an educator, a clear conflict of interest is apparent in your removal of content that you feel may not be 'suitable' for an article concerning a school - This vested interest is irrelevant to the provision of accurate and comprehensive material in Wikipedia articles.

Perhaps you could do with a read on wikipedia policies yourslf, particularly NPOV, editing talk pages and making constructive edits. You may notice the "content" you added has been removed and the page locked by wikipedia adminstrators to prevent future vandalism. --Hughesdarren (talk) 08:40, 1 May 2010 (UTC)

Hi Excirial, I've been having problems with an editor making continued changes on an article Albany Senior High School, Western Australia by user 203.59.28.108 who seems to want to make a stance on a single issue about a pine forest. The same user has then gone and made changes mostly to other pages I've contributed on. Most of these changes add no information but are entirely neagtive in nature. I don't want to waste your time but could you have a look at the history of Albany Senior High School, Western Australia article and let me know if you think I've been unreasonable? Cheers --Hughesdarren (talk) 02:52, 1 May 2010 (UTC)

- The fact that you people are too ignorant to know what the word 'Troth' means does not make it any less a part of the english language. Perhaps you should do some research before making changes simply out of a naive understanding. Here is the front of the school pictured with the emblem and motto: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/3/35/AlbanySHS1.jpg

I would make the edit myself but you have seen to the locking of the page, thanks. Its fantastic when somebody actually knows factual information but is blocked by somebody who doesn't. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 130.95.128.51 (talk) 09:03, 6 May 2010 (UTC)

You may have won this round Hughesdarren, but the thousand years war for the ASHS wikipedia page has only just begun. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.59.28.108 (talk) 14:04, 5 May 2010 (UTC)
