Hi Cyberjunkie, Do you know where we state that Soccer is preferred for Australian articles? I tried to find it earlier today so I could revert the Suncorp Stadium change that you reverted. The Soccer / Football thing seems to come up every so often. Thanks Rimmeraj 11:09, 3 February 2007 (UTC)
I have reverted your high handed and unecessary merge. What was the purpose of this? Afferbeck Lauder was a eperate entity. Murdoch never really admitted authorship so far as I know. Go and do something useful like arguing about Soccer/Football. After last night;s Jets vs Sydney match you KNOW you are on a loser on that one. Albatross2147 11:33, 3 February 2007 (UTC)
Hello. Could you help me out with a copyedit of the article on Aaron Sorkin? It's been asked that I get uninvolved editors to give it a once-over to help get it through FAC. And if possible even help me out with another Support? Thanks for any modicum of help you can provide.- BiancaOfHell 11:43, 3 February 2007 (UTC)
Always very grateful when you do this! You manage to turn some of my bizarre and incoherent sentences into something more refined. Thanks! :) michael talk 23:04, 3 February 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for the kind word, cj. :) While I'm here, is there any chance you'd be able to take a look over my latest article, Paul Papalia, and see if you could do some copyediting? I'm still prone to this irritatingly clunky prose at times, which is rather frustrating. Rebecca 22:36, 4 February 2007 (UTC)
I actually had a bit of a chuckle when I read that - thank you! As to my lofty aspirations, one day. Keep well cj. :) michael talk 10:36, 5 February 2007 (UTC)
Do you know of Policy/ Guidelines on the use of notable alumni sections in school articles? They seem to be common on SA articles but with disputed relevance. These sections seem to be common in other article. Happy trails ... maelgwn talk 01:14, 2 February 2007 (UTC)
Hi Cyberjunkie, since you're doing so much assessing at the moment (and THANK YOU by the way, I'm extremely chuffed you gave my article on the Aust. Chamber Music Festival a B rating, there's still much to be done on it though!) I was hoping I could ask a huge favour of you, could you please go over the Palm Island article sometime before 8pm (AEST) tonight and give some third party input over what areas need a lot or a little improvement to get it up to the highest possible standard. I will then try to focus during the 24 hours leading up to it loosing the Collaboration of the Fortnight status on those specific areas, I just need a bit of guidance as I've been a bit all over the place with making improvements to this article. Thanks, Wiki Townsvillia n 01:28, 3 February 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for that, good precedent! Satu Suro 23:30, 8 February 2007 (UTC)
Hi cj, i'm not familiar with the process for checking out sock puppets, but I have a suspicion the following are the same person: Victorperton, LibVictoria, and Donvale.—Preceding unsigned comment added by Timeshift9 ( talk • contribs) 21:58, 9 February 2007
Hi, sorry to bother you :) I'm trying to get Hamersley, Western Australia to FAC, it's at the first draft stage at the moment and I would really appreciate a second opinion on content and prose, as well as if anything obvious is missing (apart from images, which I'll place once the prose is settled - most are on the talk page for the article atm). Orderinchaos78 02:41, 10 February 2007 (UTC)
Hi, I was wondering if you'd be interested in developing a nav box to link all the year in Australia articles - the bulk of them have a very ugly see also section at the start and no template. The generic year nav box, which I find kind of terrifying, seems to be used on the 2000s in Australia. We have year in Australia, century in Australia and the more recent years have incumbents (which could probably be merged back into the year) which would need to be incorporated into the template.
On other template issues, do you think you could make this one {{ Lighthouses of Victoria}} less ugly?
One last thing, I'm prepared to stub all the red links on the "day in Australia" feature so it can go live on the portal; lots of people have worked on it and it's a neat feature. I'm going to start working on March now so it would be complete for a March 1 launch on the portal, and follow on from here. Does this sound good to you, and how may items should we have per day (I'm thinking around 5 or <250 words)?
Thanks -- Peta 11:47, 7 February 2007 (UTC)
Hello Cyberjunkie, and thanks for reviewing the CSD on Sergio Marchionne. For some bizarre reason, Nenyedi insists on re-adding that tag, and is adamant the page should be deleted. That and he has attempted to blank discussions on the talk page. Seems like a giant waste of time, but if you could help set him straight, that would be much appreciated. He seems to ignore the warnings by me and another user who has tried to intervene. regards, Taalo 18:20, 13 February 2007 (UTC)
Having had a thorough look into multi-assessments that function for parent and sub-project, I'm convinced we can adapt the Indian model currently in use. Whenever you're free to tackle the task let me know and we'll forge ahead with it if you're happy with what they're doing. I've created Wikipedia:WikiProject Australia/Future so we can track progress. -- Longhair\ talk 19:17, 16 February 2007 (UTC)
Hi cj, the parliament has changed their servers and URLs and now the vast majority of the lower and upper house MPs go to a 404 page. Is there some wikipedia tool that can do a mass change if you give it conditions, or do I need to go through the task of updating all of them? Timeshift 20:27, 17 February 2007 (UTC)
It's been a week since my recent request for adminship passed, and since I haven't managed to delete the Main Page - yet - I figure it's safe to send these out. Thanks a lot for participating in my RfA; I hope to do a good job. If you see me doing something wrong, need help, or just want to have a chat, please don't hesitate to drop by :) – riana_ dzasta 07:28, 22 February 2007 (UTC)
Thank you for your kind words, I appreciate them! Please don't hesitate to comment on or criticise my use of the tools. – riana_ dzasta 07:28, 22 February 2007 (UTC)
Hi Cyberjunkie, soldier settlement schemes directly influenced every state of Australia and have a direct link to irrigation commencement etc. Until today there was no article on Wiki covering the topic. I have started it and have also suggested it to be a WP:ACOTF article - would welcome your support if you think that such an article is appropriate for a collaboration project? -- VS talk... images 02:14, 25 February 2007 (UTC)
On the WikiProject Countries talk page, you had either explictly declared a general interest in the project, or had participated at a discussion that appears related to
Location Maps for European countries.
New maps had been created by David Liuzzo, and are available for the countries of the European continent, and for countries of the European Union exist in two versions. From
November 16,
2006 till
January 31,
2007, a poll had tried to find a consensus for usage of 'old' or of which and where 'new' version maps. At its closing, 25 people had spoken in favor of either of the two presented usages of new versions but neither version had reached a consensus (12 and 13), and 18 had preferred old maps.
As this outcome cannot justify reverting of new maps that had become used for some countries, seconds before
February 5,
2007 a survey started that will be closed at
February 20,
2007 23:59:59. It should establish whether the new style maps may be applied as soon as some might become available for countries outside the European continent (or such to depend on future discussions), and also which new version should be applied for which countries.
Please note that since
January 1,
2007 all new maps became updated by David Liuzzo (including a world locator, enlarged cut-out for small countries) and as of
February 4,
2007 the restricted licence that had jeopardized their availability on Wikimedia Commons, became more free. The subsections on the talk page that had shown David Liuzzo's original maps, now show his most recent design.
Please read the
discussion (also in other sections
α,
β,
γ,
δ,
ε,
ζ,
η,
θ) and in particular the arguments offered by the forementioned poll, while realizing some comments to have been made prior to updating the maps, and all prior to modifying the licences, before carefully reading the
presentation of the currently open survey. You are invited to only then finally make up your mind and vote for only one option.
There mustnot be 'oppose' votes; if none of the options would be appreciated, you could vote for the option you might with some effort find least difficult to live with - rather like elections only allowing to vote for one of several candidates. Obviously, you are most welcome to leave a brief argumentation with your vote. Kind regards. —

Sorry about that, I did that during my newbie days. Won't happen in future. Spebi [c] 04:21, 1 March 2007 (UTC)
Hey there cj. If you've got any time, is there any chance you could give me any comments or suggestions on how to refine my latest piece before it goes to FAC? Hope the start of another uni year is going well. michael talk 07:04, 5 March 2007 (UTC)
Thanks. :) Rebecca 10:18, 6 March 2007 (UTC)
The reason why I changed the titles from the earlier Mount Glorious (Queensland) to Mount Glorious, Queensland (and likewise with Mount Nebo and Mount Pleasant) was because of problems and confusion which occurred with the naming of the Mount Coot-tha, Queensland article — which I also had originally named as Mount Coot-tha (Queensland) in an attempt to make the names (I thought) uniform with other Wikipedia articles of a like nature.
Because the (Queensland) has already been used previously for the naming of the articles it will now prove to be very difficult, if not impossible, to change them back to their former titles. Sorry. Figaro 03:54, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
Nothing is stopping us from adapting the Indian model, though I must admit, I'm currently working from a laptop at present which I haven't had the joy of using for some years. I'm only waiting for my usual workstation to return to its' former glory. Have you looked into WP:INDIA at all? It appears to be the solution we're aiming for, give or take a few exceptions. -- Longhair\ talk 09:22, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
Which bit of it is not factual? let's discuss it on the discussion page rather than having a revert war. Cheers RayNorris 09:54, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
I have responded to your comments on Wikipedia talk:Featured portal candidates/Portal:Current events/Canada. Mkdw talk 13:13, 9 March 2007 (UTC)
I have been going around trying to make a good look for my User & Talk page, but I don't understand this Wiki-code much. Could you either tell me where to go to find how to make one or show me how to make one. Thanks in advance, Nescio sed Scio 02:47, 12 March 2007 (UTC)
Hi, can you explain this edit of yours please? There was no editorializing. The material was properly sourced. SlimVirgin (talk) 08:18, 10 March 2007 (UTC)
It would be a nice time saving tool if it worked, but it doesn't. It has a bug that fully protects everything transcluded on the page, not just semi. So please be good and don't use it anymore. :P - Amarkov moo! 19:45, 12 March 2007 (UTC)
Hi Cyberjunkie, DYK and "Things you can do" were in the 'reversed arrangement' on P:VA that you encountered because, at the time, switching them caused a break in IE's display of the portal. For the longest time, I couldn't figure out why, so I just left them switched because it was working. Your switching them, which I have to tell you did break the layout again, forced me to take another look at the issue. And I figured it out! So while I'd come here originally to let you know that the switching of those two boxes had broken the display and that I needed to revert it, I can now thank you for forcing me to fix the problem. Cheers. Planetneutral talk 03:04, 14 March 2007 (UTC)
Would you therefore please explain how I am to request a block for that user? Downy 13:03, 14 March 2007 (UTC)
Good work narrowing down the WP:AUS assessments. I've been offline with home pc hassles of late so it's good to see change while I'm gone. I'm still absorbing the changes but I'm sure it's a workable system. Cheers. -- Longhair\ talk 01:20, 16 March 2007 (UTC)
Hi cj. Australia and the United Nations has been selected as the new Australian collaboration of the fortnight. I created a tiny stub. Please help to improve it however you can. Thanks. -- Scott Davis Talk 13:26, 18 March 2007 (UTC)
It means exactly what it says: you first falsely claim the references (at least two) don't support the assertion, and then you challenge their authority. Make senseless arguments elsewhere, please. Corticopia 03:04, 16 March 2007 (UTC)
There is a case involving you and another editor, please stop by and have a look. Try to keep everything to the facts. Thanks. —— Eagle101 Need help? 21:14, 18 March 2007 (UTC)
I can't help but point out that this comment is blatant misinformation. WP:CANVASS does not apply at all to the listing at WP:AWNB. Please retract your comment as it it is unfair to the candidate.-- cj | talk 03:32, 19 March 2007 (UTC)
Our s..p.. of the month got blocked yesterday (ie wa project) - I have serious problems re good faith for red talk page link users until I see the whites of their contribtions go beyond the first 10 and no vndlsm recorded :) As for rivalry - nah - we're all trying to survive the same thing of having a meetup at breakfast time ... I think whatever city it is - we'll all need moral support where ever we are for that, either very strong coffee or some nutritional equivalent of a cattle prod or the likes :) Satu Suro 08:29, 19 March 2007 (UTC)
Hello dear Cyber Junkie. what is your opinion about this new page I made about a persian young journalist Kourosh Ziabari.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by Sate Journalist ( talk • contribs) 18:29, 19 March 2007.
Hi Cyberjunkie, the article ( Brunch (TV program)) has come to my attention recently. The actual name for the television program is not yet confirmed by the Seven Network, therefore the article is incorrect. Could the article please be deleted, until a further date when more information and an actual name for the television program is confirmed. Thanks. Stickeylabel 14:20, 20 March 2007 (UTC)
I've only blocked this guy for a week, seeing as he probably just needs a cool-off. Hope that's OK, and that you're doing well :) Cheers, – Riana ঋ 07:55, 23 March 2007 (UTC)
Hi cj. I appear to have broken this page and it wont display on the main Portal page. Can you please fix?-- Mattinbgn/ talk 12:30, 23 March 2007 (UTC)
