== Pending suspension of administrative permissions due to inactivity ==

[[File:Information.svg|25px|alt=Information icon]] Established [[Wikipedia:Administrators#Procedural removal for inactive administrators|policy]] provides for the removal of the administrative permissions of users who have made fewer than 100 edits over a 60-month period. Your administrative permissions will be removed&#32;if you do not return to the required activity level before the beginning of December 2023.

== My photos of English cricket team ==

Inactive administrators are encouraged to engage with the project in earnest rather than to make token edits to avoid loss of administrative permissions. Resources and support for re-engaging with the project are available at [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Editor Retention/administrators]]. If you do not intend to re-engage with the project in the foreseeable future, please consider voluntarily resigning your administrative permissions by making a request at [[Wikipedia:Bureaucrats' noticeboard|the bureaucrats' noticeboard]].

Hello Monkeyman, I see you've been busy. Those photos are amazingly difficult to take aren't they. I do like your Terry Jenner shot. It makes you appreciate prof photographers who manage to get a classy shot seemingly with ease - I wonder what the secret is? When they come over my way in a couple of weeks, I intend to have a go myself. Cheers. &mdash;&nbsp;[[User talk:Moondyne|Moondyne]] 01:36, 17 November 2006 (UTC)

:Ah, well it's not so easy for those guys either. They were taking multiple shots and then muttering expletives when they didn't work out as they planned either.....The problem is that the bowling nets are protected by a metal wire fence and then another cloth fence. You can poke the lens past the metal fence, but you'll still get the black fuzz of the cloth fence about 1m in front. I used a digital camera with a maximum aperture f=5.6, whereas for the proper family camera, you can get 1.6 - (small f number -> large aperture) and the pros probably have an even larger aperture. Then with a larger aperture, the field of view is smaller, so you the length at which the object is focussed is smaller....that's why the pros can take a picture through the netting and it only looks like a grey cloud. Of course, if I used the family camera, I could have gotten a better pic, but I don't think my parents would be happy, as the "success rate" would probably decrease from about 1/8 for these "pseudo-amateurish" digital snaps to maybe 1/20 for the manual film which requires more discretionary skill......and likely triple figure bills for a few photos. The ones which turned out OK, of Cook, Read and Jones practicing catching were only because there was no netting in the way....and the same goes for the photos of Jenner, Aggers, CMJ and Graham Cornes and Roger Wills (don't have an article for him yet). Most of the journos and pundits were rather bewildered when I took photos of them....And judging by the way Pietersen was training against Panesar, I'm guessing he has a few big hits in mind this summer, as well as attempting reverse-sweep sixes like he did against Murali. England were batting for 2 hours but the Redbacks only trained for 30 minutes so I could only get Cosgrove and not Cullen, Tait, Lehmann and Gillespie...perhaps that explains why they never win anything....'''[[User:Blnguyen|Blnguyen]]''' ([[User talk:Blnguyen|bananabucket]]) 02:13, 17 November 2006 (UTC

It appears that this year all the private schools have decided teach their students how to edit on wikipedia, I'm working with two who seem to want to learn and follow policy, but there a few out there that have other ideas. anyhow they finish in three of weeks so not long left.

I wish the front page of austen could be used a pic - it is so evocative of the old terrace. The wise directroiries on the liswa site can help for numbers and tenants bet 1890's and 1940's -maybe we should decise which way to go with this one. I have history as priority to as to not evoke the revert of the past! :) [[User talk:SatuSuro|SatuSuro]] 01:20, 18 November 2006 (UTC)

Hey Ian, thanks for your message. I nearly offered Gn a co-nom, but I hesitated because I noticed a few days ago people on talk:RFA complaining about RfAs with lots of co-noms and some people saying they hold it against the candidate ([[Wikipedia_talk:Requests_for_adminship#Co-nominations|here]]). I would hate for that to happen. You don't think it would be too many if I were to add one, too? Maybe I should offer a co-nom and leave it completely up to Gn to add or not. Cheers mate, [[User:Sarah_Ewart|Sarah Ewart]] ([[User talk:Sarah_Ewart|Talk]]) 13:24, 18 November 2006 (UTC)

::Serious for a moment? I was being serious, my comments are highly valued! And you can take that to the bank! ;)

::The RfA thing varies a lot. Some times there are only a few running and other times there's a lot, but I don't remember seeing as many as you did, so that was probably just a freak day. You can get an idea here, though. [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Bureaucrats%27_noticeboard/RfA_Report&limit=500&action=history] Since October 29, the most active RfAs was 16 and the lowest was 6, I think.

No. I'm not over for the Ashes. Too busy saving up for a new house (hopefully to move in in January) and wedding (June 2007). Mind you, I'm not convinced it'll be a contest yet:) [[User:Jguk|jguk]] 21:49, 19 November 2006 (UTC)

Hey, very long time no talk; I trust you're well. So back in November 2007, you may well not remember, but you made [[Special:Diff/174322392|this edit]] to the [[Surfboard lock]], which turned out to mask then-recent vandalism by [[Special:Contributions/74.192.124.236|74.192.124.236]]. Some of the most visible remaining vandalism was recently discovered by [[User:MaxwellMolecule|MaxwellMolecule]], who wrote a [[Wikipedia talk:Wikipedia records#Longest undetected vandalism|message on Wikipedia talk:Wikipedia records]] (which is on my watchlist), which alerted me to this situation. I duly added the record to the [[Wikipedia:Wikipedia records|Wikipedia records]] page. [[User:Graham87|Graham87]] ([[User talk:Graham87|talk]]) 06:31, 16 February 2025 (UTC)

== Australian Dictionary of Biography pics ==

Hello Ian. I was googling up for pics of [[Australian Olympic medalists in Swimming]] since it is now on FLC and only needs pics and a few sentences about notable performances. I found pics of a few swimmers, which are aged > 50 years, which are theoretically PD-Aus. However, the pic info says that they stilll own the rights to the photo. So are these pics allowed. Those were the ADB pics of [[Clare Dennis]] and [[Frank Beaurepaire]] respecetively. '''[[User:Blnguyen|Blnguyen]]''' ([[User talk:Blnguyen|bananabucket]]) 23:58, 19 November 2006 (UTC)

:I looked up [[Boy Charlton]] on ADB and saw that it uses the same pic that you uploaded to commons, with the "Reproduction rights owned by the National Archives of Australia"- so PD covers the NAA?

6MD was joined up with one of the others, and I think the Geraldton and Albany ones weren't linked up with the metro stations - not so sure about Bunbury though.

A lot of older radios had the stations printed on the dial covers [[User talk:SatuSuro|SatuSuro]] 03:45, 22 November 2006 (UTC)

Radio National is transmitted through the old call sign/frequency of 6WN. The thing about all this is that Murray Jennings, the Cranfields (Zenith) and others all have memories of 6IX in Perth in the 1960's - someone needs to download their memories as old radio persons dont simply stay that way (viz frank zappa and jazz - is jazz dead - no it only smells that way) they do pass on to the radio station in the sky.

I got it from a single source in the Battye Library (Geoff Gallop's book on Vic Park suburbs), and I've seen a similarly ridiculously low count for the northern suburbs Mooro people (Geoffrey Bolton makes a mention of it in his Claremont book while at the same time saying Jane Currie's contemporaneous diary quoting 40 on Matilda Bay alone contradicts it). Will definitely look into this tomorrow as it seems blatantly silly to have unanswered points on there. [[User talk:Orderinchaos78|Orderinchaos78]] 11:20, 22 November 2006 (UTC)

: My guess is that it probably *is* wrong but more an indication of the failure of whatever census methods they had for Aboriginals in 1837 than anything else. :) [[User talk:Orderinchaos78|Orderinchaos78]] 12:42, 22 November 2006 (UTC)

==Geoplaces==

On a hunch, I checked Onslow and Toodyay, and found double entries in both cases. The original townsite of Onslow was repeatedly flooded during cyclones, and in 1925 it was flooded so badly that they up and moved the town away from the river. The original site of Toodyay also was prone to flooding, and in 1860 was relocated to higher ground.

Therefore I propose that one of the causes of a double entry of the same town name at proximate locations, is a town relocating at some point, leaving us with a LOCB for the town, and a LOCB for the unoccupied former townsite.

== Blocking of 194.83.84.15 ==

Hi Moondyne!

I believe on Friday, you blocked [[User_talk:194.83.84.15|194.83.84.15]] from editing Wikipedia after repeated vandalism. Okay this is a fair point after looking at the contributions, but is a 7-day block on a proxy server IP address really compulsory? The IP address belongs to [[Yale College Wrexham|Yale College]], [[Wrexham]], which currently posesses over 2500 machines using the server, with many thousands of users (plus hundreds of staff) - is it really fair to the non-vandalising community? Okay looking at the contributions there seems to be a lot of vandalism, but I know of many users who contribute to Wikipedia at college and mainly edit pages on local things. I believe a similar thing happens with [[AOL]] users and their IP addresses, but there are measures there to prevent innocent users recieving irrelevant treatment - so why does this static IP serving so many users get blocked for seven days?

Excuse me if I sounded patronising insulting or anything, but I would like to know why such a long duration ban? However, I fully understand your reason for blocking and I am not suggesting for the IP to be unblocked. Best wishes [[User:Marbles333|Marbles333]] 18:53, 27 November 2006 (UTC)

== Roberta Beach Jacobson ==

Article is not yet finished, there are at least 10 more books, several more critiques and so on of which I have a weak reference, looking for data. The point is that at the end the notability will be mostly Kafenio (just take a look how many noted Travelwriters got their start there).{{unsigned|Rough}}

** There is more, I just have digged out an old membership of tha American Poets Ass., looks llike she also won some national poetry awards, the problem is she does not mention these things anywhere. [[User:Rough|Rough]] 14:34, 28 November 2006 (UTC)

== CWA ==

Sorry to say, I traced how you found Jacobson and discovered that you had deleted a definition for CWA, it is REAL. Most authors of American speciality magazines about cats (I Love Cats, Cats Magazine and so on) are member of this association. The amount of members does not make it notable, else we would have to take out Iceland's Journalist Union too ... they have only 50 members. [[User:Rough|Rough]] 15:17, 28 November 2006 (UTC)

I understand, sorry to have assumed it was about CWA [[User:Rough|Rough]] 23:30, 28 November 2006 (UTC)

Hi,

Thanks for the welcome. Do you know if/how I can reply to your note from my area, without writing in your area?

I started looking for some info about a few explorers on the Project Gutenberg of Australia site and one thing led to another with the WA stuff. I don't spend a lot of time on Wikipedia stuff, but sometimes have a dabble.

There might be some things of interest to you in the introduction to this book: [http://gutenberg.net.au/ebooks03/0301141h.html Early Explorers in Australia]
