[edit] Convict era of Western Australia
Convictism Convict era of Western Australia shaped up really nicely. Your push not only gained a G/A but was probably the first success for the new WP:WA. Looking forward to your next suggestion when you return. Unless you want to go for F/A?!? Regards Fred 11:24, 13 January 2007 (UTC)
- Thanks, but I cant take any credit for that one, I hardly had any input. Mostly the stirling work of Hesp. I would however love to see Fremantle prison or the roundhouse at FA status but its a lot of work, Freo article itself could be bought to GA status, its suprisingly poor considering its importance. Keep up the good work. Ghostieguide 12:46, 13 January 2007 (UTC)
- Dyk: English born colonials distinguished themselves from 'native-born' with the terms Sterling and Currency. Dr brewer will an interesting source for true blue if phrases interest you.
I just read Hotel wikipedia, then WP:Beast, very amusing. Fremantle article has so many editors past and present it needs a concerted effort. You may know my bias, but Freo is more notable and interesting than Perth and worth a push toward F/A. Fred 13:12, 13 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Present Arms in Dub
Present Arms in Dub redirects to Present Arms In Dub. You've kinda lost me with your explanation... sorry. Which page should be redirecting to which? -- Longhair\talk 23:29, 22 January 2007 (UTC)
Present Arms is also a duplicate page, requiring a merge (or redirect) as you say. -- Longhair\talk 23:30, 22 January 2007 (UTC)
- Present Arms in Dub is currently a redirect. I think you've still got your cache problem going on. Try adding ?action=purge (which will clear the cache) to the end of the URL for Present Arms in Dub and see if you see what I see; a redirect. -- Longhair\talk 01:31, 23 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] List...
Hey you pointed me to an issue - I somehow have been disposed otherwsie - could you remind me the issue - sorry to be nuisance... SatuSuro 11:22, 28 January 2007 (UTC) Hey right in front of me - I have it. God what a mess there...SatuSuro 11:28, 28 January 2007 (UTC) Did my bit - If I had denied the haunted places in central java when I was doing fieldwork there - I might as well not have gone there at all!

[edit] Palm Island ACOTF
Hi Ghostieguide, you seem to be interested in Australian history (well Western Australian History anyway :), but you did participate in the Torres Strait Islanders Collaboration, so I thought you might be interested in the Palm ACOTF which has gained a lot of momentum over the last week, or even if you would just like to leave your opinion here as to what needs to be done. Thanks, WikiTownsvillian 14:12, 29 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Meetup
Good to meet up - plan to come down to freo in the next couple of weeks from the mountain tops up here in the hills - might try to meetup again - very interested in the walk tour thingy seeing that my business plan for the hills never got beyond square one... so hope to catchup again- cheers SatuSuro 08:00, 2 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Image:Bertonex191300.jpg
From what I can tell, the previous image was licenced under Fair use, and the current image is freely licenced, being in the public domain. The old image has been deleted. There's a current push for more free images on Wikipedia, so I think we're stuck with what's currently there. -- Longhair\talk 23:24, 13 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Ghost tour speedy delete
The speedy delete was for the previous version of the article. By all means, please feel free to start from scratch.

Have you read Inside Cover today? Hesperian 01:36, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Nationl Hotel
I can think of various towns in australia where pubs burning down was a regular occasion - i think midland lost three that way... SatuSuro 23:06, 11 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Bushranger is now ACOTF
Hi. You voted for Bushranger, which has been selected as the new ACOTF. Please help to improve it if you can. You probably have some interesting material about any who were imprisoned in Fremantle. Thanks. --Scott Davis Talk 14:55, 15 April 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Comeback!
Please contact via email soon SatuSuro 14:15, 29 April 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Departing
Sorry to hear that you're leaving us. Bon-voyage and all that and if you get a chance, logon over there. —Moondyne 04:54, 2 May 2007 (UTC)

Honestly... this is the reason I give up on editing Wikipedia... it all just too hard. Ghostieguide 08:11, 14 May 2007 (UTC)
- If it's any consolation I reverted your version as soon as I saw this message. Welcome back... even if only for a minute. Hesperian 08:16, 14 May 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Jeffrey
I'm struggling to see an excuse to resurrect it, because I can't find a source. If you can show me a reliable third party source of any description, I'll undelete it for you.
Some cynical advice: most speedy deletion patrollers only look at an article for about two seconds before they decide whether or not to delete it. Probably the deleter saw the words "second banana", didn't know what it meant, and presumed the whole article was a joke. Therefore appearances are everything; if that page had been linked and categorised, it probably would have survived. Mention that he was born in Providence, Rhode Island (the only other encyclopaedic information I could find on him) and you're a little closer. Find out in what year he was born, and what awards he was won, and you're nearly there. And references. Ironically, even an {{unreferenced}} tag would help.
Watch this. Your version was:

My version would be:

See my point? Hesperian 11:47, 14 May 2007 (UTC)
Ah... wrong article... original text was: Mark Jeffrey b(1825-1903) was an English convict transported to Australia, He was known as "Big Mark" The grave digger on the Isle of the Dead Cemetery at Port Arthur, Tasmania. His autobiograpy provides an insight into convict life.

Well! Now you know what the problem was. Some utter fuckwit overwrote your article with an article on a non-notable traffic reporter, and it was deleted. The admin that deleted it really ought to have checked the article history before deleting, but I'm sure you'll find it in your heart to forgive him. I shall undelete immediately. Hesperian 12:47, 14 May 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Thematic interpretation
It wasn't deleted; it was overwritten with a redirect. And by a non-admin. Your version is still in the history here. What that means is you don't have to jump through hoops or beg permission to restore it. Work it up in your sandbox, and when you're ready, just overwrite the redirect. I'll put it on my watchlist. Shout out if you need a hand. Hesperian 13:21, 14 May 2007 (UTC)

- Since you're not around much, I have sorted out both of the above, so they don't get deleted. You still need to provide your source (e.g. the URL you downloaded them from) else they could still get tagged {{no source}} and deleted. Hesperian 23:32, 26 November 2007 (UTC)
