Do you think you'd like to join forces and get Flag of Australia featured? There are several featured flags, all we'd have to do is copy the structure and fill in the gaps. Let me know. -- nixie 00:36, 11 January 2006 (UTC)
Do you think you'd be able to whip up a version of the Anti-Transporation flag for the flag article? Its coming along quite nicely so far.-- nixie 22:32, 12 January 2006 (UTC)
The gallery automatically adds borders it seems. The National Colonial Flag and the Eureka Flag are .jpg and .png respectively if you're keen to make svg versions; it would be appreciated.-- nixie 01:39, 13 January 2006 (UTC)
All the flags in the gallery on the page look like they have borders to me, is it because I'm using the classic skin? It wouldn't be hard to make it into a table if we need to.-- nixie 02:44, 13 January 2006 (UTC)
Barnstar move to main page Hi Martyman, great job on the canberra bushfire maps! The animated map is fantastic (havent looked at that article in a while and I just noticed them) I was also just wondering if it would be good to have separate maps for the districts of Canberra - the same map thats there now but with the other districts done in grey or subdued colours so that the particular district stands out? (just if you have time) -- Astrokey44| talk 03:49, 13 January 2006 (UTC)
Done, if it goes walking again let me know and I will warn the user.-- nixie 10:15, 13 January 2006 (UTC)
It might be a good idea to leave the redirect there for a while so that the vandal can't move the page again.-- nixie 10:31, 13 January 2006 (UTC)
Seems to be going OK to me, see also seems like the best option.-- nixie 11:25, 17 January 2006 (UTC)
Do you think that the Australia flags (Blue, Red) would be out of crown copyright and the defence ensigns would all still be under crown copyright?-- nixie 08:15, 18 January 2006 (UTC)
If you get a chance coulod you make a version of this map, thanks. -- nixie 06:28, 19 January 2006 (UTC)
Could you please add a blank locator map to {{ Politics of Australia sidebar}}, from my reading the CoA can only be used as fair use, and therefore should not appear in templates. Thanks.-- nixie 00:14, 20 January 2006 (UTC)
Just so you know, that after a full year long recovery from the tse tse immune defective virus, The Hardest Questions in the World Section is back on my user page!! Don't be too quick to tire the section out too quickly, but make sure you pop round to make sure you get a good score on the leader's board.... Spawn Man 04:57, 20 January 2006 (UTC)
It can go straight to FAC, I don't think peer review would add a lot. I will get around to nominating it sometime this week, unless someone beats me to it.-- nixie 22:46, 22 January 2006 (UTC)
You are currently tied 2nd on the leader's board, being behind of 1st place by 3 points. Spawn Man 03:00, 23 January 2006 (UTC). BTW, Well done on taking down the beast, the glogg question had everyone stumped. That question hadn't moved since the quiz first opened..... good job.
Thanks for the warning concerning copyrighted material. I've added a GFDL to the Crookesmoor Building but the rest I'll have to retake as I posted them to a website but have since deleted the originals from my computer (barring the obvious that have come from website's). I'm a bit confused as to movie posters. Can you recommend anybody to ask?
Thanks for the help, I've done as suggested with the two photos. Pally 12:20, 23 January 2006 (UTC)
Hi, could you make a nice graph showing the historical population growth of Sydney. It's going to be the next Australian article I try to get featured. It's not in bad shape, but it's missing lots of basic information like - economy, demographics, education... -- nixie 00:12, 25 January 2006 (UTC)
You are currently in 2nd place with 7 points. You are 3 points behind 1st place. Spawn Man 00:24, 26 January 2006 (UTC)
Wow, it looks great. I'll leave it up to you, but like Image:Canberra Map-MJC.png, I think the names are better on the map. Since synney is so big it might be worth adding major centers, but that might clutter things up too much.-- nixie 22:30, 26 January 2006 (UTC)
well i dont agree with you at all....in fact i think your reasoning is simple minded....if you are half irish or half italian or whatever...your ethnic origin is both irish and italian....what else could it be....yes u are australian....but you ancestry or ethnic roots would be irish or italian....i feel bad to see that you fail to understand the common thread between both terms...here in canada ...were are asked to report our ethnic origins...i.e where did your ancestors come from...even if it goes back to grandparents or great grandparents...case in point...there are thousands of people whose parents were born in china....thus their ancestors are from china...do you mean to tell me that their ethnicity is not chinese....come on....use some rationale ...
Hi! You removed my addition of Forrester kangaroos and reverted the opening to "there are three species". The Forrester is, indeed, a Grey Kangaroo, but which one -- Eastern or Western? I'm also quite sure, there are more than three species of definite kangaroos, even if you ignore the dubiousness of the kangaroo-wallaby-pademelon distinction :-)... пан Бостон-Київський 19:46, 27 January 2006 (UTC)
I concur. I also think that this user's images are poor of themselves and are poorly captioned, but that is another matter. Adam 13:14, 29 January 2006 (UTC)
I believe this is called sockpuppetry and is a bannable offence if proved, but I am not an expert on Wikipedia's processes. You could ask at Village Pump what to do, or ask an administrator if you know one. Adam 13:22, 29 January 2006 (UTC)
If that's the argument, then enforce the policy completely, not just where it suits you. Hammersfan, 13.51 GMT, 29 January 2006
I have marked the images as "self-made". I usually state that I am a Photo-Journalist, which implies that I have likely created the images. I give them to Wiki Foundation with no strings attached. Since they are in deeply incrypted 3D, they are unlikely to to taken for uses that would normally generate royalties. This seems to be reasonable compliance. My work as a historical/ cultural documentary director is well known. I have worked in Museum photography for over 40 years, as well as extensive field work, all over the world. I will only add images where I objectively see an advantage to the article. If you have doubts as to the vividness of the color possible with the new technique; check on images at Wiki: "Custom Cars". Like many people, I don't like the messed up look of old fashioned 3D still images. These images only have about 10% of the typical mess. Seen with the kind of glasses, (plastic) used in college courses, they look surprisingly good. The "National Geographic" was once all black & white. Then slowly color was added. Many prefered the black & white, but over time, a place was found at the table for color. Good 3D has a more limited application, but when it adds something...it can be very powerful.I'd be glad to send some good glasses to the first 10 editors who would ask. Just e-mail me at: [email protected].
I would advocate use of the move tab rather than copy/paste moves, even when moving things from sandboxes, as it preserves history (and that's required by the default WP:GFDL we use. Just a thing to consider next time. I'll try to drop a pointer to the policy on a few talk pages if I can. (forgot to say I'm a "keep threaded, I watch" guy) ++ Lar: t/ c 23:54, 29 January 2006 (UTC)
Thanks for doing that, I really had no idea what to do there. Pacific Coast Highway| Leave a message ($.25) 06:27, 30 January 2006 (UTC)
You recently tagged an image that I uploaded as having no license ( [1]). The {{ no license}} template states you should leave {{subst:image copyright|image name}} tag on the talk page of the uploader. Even though the image was on my watchlist, please do so in the future. Thanks! -- M @ th wiz 2020 21:16, 30 January 2006 (UTC)
The user seems to have gone to some effort to meet the fair use requirements, which is better than most. I would tag them as {{ fairusereplace}} to advertise that we should try and get free replacements. There is also {{ fairusereview}} which tags the images for review, but I have no idea who does the review or if there is even an active process for reviewing fair use images (I'm pretty sure there isn't). If there are more that 2 "fair use" images of the same place, orphan one, the justification for fair use becomes increasingly weak with the increasing number of stolen images. Hope that helps.-- nixie 23:58, 30 January 2006 (UTC)
