[edit] Your shortcut

After being notified about this project by a member of the WP:WA team, I have noticed that your chosen shortcut WP:NT is already in use by Wikipedia:Navigational templates. This has been commented out of your portal for the time being until it can be sorted out, and a note has been placed the following note on the above page - "This article is about Wikipedia Navigational Templates. For Wikipedia Project on the Northern Territory, see Wikipedia:WikiProject Northern Territory.". Cheers Thewinchester (talk) 07:52, 30 April 2007 (UTC)

My suggestion is WPANT as a shortcut or worse case scenario - NrthT or something similar SatuSuro 07:54, 30 April 2007 (UTC)

WP:TOPEND? – Riana ऋ 08:37, 30 April 2007 (UTC)
WP:AUSNT? However, such a naming convention for all other state shortcuts might have to be considered if going down this path? Thewinchester (talk) 08:41, 30 April 2007 (UTC)

I like WP:TOPEND  :) SatuSuro 09:51, 30 April 2007 (UTC)

Although technically the Top End doesn't apply to the whole territory :) Still, has a nice ring to it. – Riana ऋ 09:53, 30 April 2007 (UTC)
WP:NEVERNEVER ? :P Orderinchaos 10:24, 30 April 2007 (UTC)
I like! :) – Riana ऋ 10:28, 30 April 2007 (UTC)

Maybe we should short list and have a vote? SatuSuro 10:31, 30 April 2007 (UTC)

Enough talking. WP:NTA and WT:NTA created. They can always be changed, deleted or added to. —Moondyne 04:25, 1 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] WP Australia template updates

Have just dropped a note on Template talk:WP Australia to have it updated to add NT to the city-specific project list. As the template has full protection, if there's an admin out there who can expedite the change i'd appreciate it. Thewinchester (talk) 08:46, 30 April 2007 (UTC)

Let's get it off the ground first, I'll add it in after that. – Riana ऋ 09:44, 30 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Big thanks

To Riana and all others for getting this project up so well so quick - thanks SatuSuro 03:08, 2 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Anyone

Who has this talk page on watch- we need time to time to try encourage interest/more eds - well worth trying to encourage others to join or edit SatuSuro 11:28, 10 May 2007 (UTC)

I'll be participating more when my assignments ease up. Orderinchaos 12:58, 11 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] So, this is off to a great start ;)

I know it's exam time for lots of people, so what say we start up some sort of collaboration in July? Pick an article to work on, get it up to scratch? It would be nice to get the basics like Darwin, Katherine, Alice Springs, Uluru etc up to standard. Riana ⁂ 10:06, 8 June 2007 (UTC)

Very good idea- even prior to that we need to have even small levels of work over time so the project dosnt earn the 'dead' tag some others get SatuSuro 07:04, 29 June 2007 (UTC)
Well, it looks like not much has happened so far, but I think this is a great idea, and I'd be happy to help. If Darwin ever comes up, I have a load of notes still sitting around in my research folder from when it was ACOTF a couple of years back that never got added to the article for some reason.

[edit] Hi There

Just joined the project, I currently live in the NT. I do a lot of photography as a hobbie as well, so one of the first thing I will do is to go through the photo requests and add photos to articles as needed. Do you guys want to assess the quality, or the applicability of the photos before i publish them? Luis v silva (talk) 05:56, 15 January 2008 (UTC)

Considering the NT is severely lacking in photographers uploading to Wikipedia, any and all photographic contributions are welcome. You could of course upload your images to Wikimedia Commons and point us to the relevant Commons gallery if you'd like an outside opinion on what to include here at the English Wikipedia. -- Longhair\talk 05:59, 15 January 2008 (UTC)
Generally any clear photo applied to something closely related to it will be fine without review :) As Longhair said, it's probably best to sign up a Commons account and upload photos there so that they work not only here but on other Wikipedias as well (French, German etc).
