ASIO

Thanks so much for the much needed overhaul of the Australian Security Intelligence Organisation article. Still needs more content, but it's a fantastic start. Keep it up! --K. AKA Konrad West TALK 08:31, 14 October 2005 (UTC)

Yes, I agree. I just read through it and am quite impressed. There's still more to be done, but that's a fantastic start. Thanks,--Cyberjunkie | Talk 10:12, 14 October 2005 (UTC)

Image:New-Rock-boots.jpg

Hi !

I would like to ask you whether you can confirm that you are the author of the image Image:New-Rock-boots.jpg ? (It looks a little bit like an image of a seller website, so forgive me or asking....)

Also, I would like to ask whether you would consider double-licencing the image with the Cc-by-sa licence, which roughly equivalent to the GFDL, but more convenient for images (see this article, or more simply this comics [1].

Thank you ! Rama 09:13, 22 October 2005 (UTC)

DIGO & PJCAAD

Wow! Thanks again for your great work on starting the Defence Imagery and Geospatial Organisation and Parliamentary Joint Committee on ASIO, ASIS and DSD articles! They been sitting in my todo box for ages, but I'm glad you beat me to it! Thanks! --K. AKA Konrad West TALK 11:46, 29 October 2005 (UTC)

Nice picture

Many thanks for adding the nice picture of the Museum of History of the Science. :) Alf ^melmac 16:31, 23 November 2005 (UTC)

Vandal

Thanks for your help identifying our recent Aussie vandal. Your good work hasn't gone unnoticed. Cheers. -- Longhair 12:41, 3 January 2006 (UTC)

The attacks actually stopped about 4am. My eyes hurt. Thanks. :) -- Longhair 03:16, 4 January 2006 (UTC)

I'm sure it's the one person behind it all. One stopped, another began. Surely the world doesn't hold two people that stupid... -- Longhair 03:40, 4 January 2006 (UTC)

Barnstar

Hi Canley. I've awarded you a barnstar on your user page for your heroic work in expanding the Australian intelligence agencies and related articles. Thanks so much and keep it up! --K. AKA Konrad West TALK 07:41, 4 January 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for a speedy answer. -- SGBailey 17:48, 10 January 2006 (UTC)

PD retagging

Hi. I noticed that your retagging of Image:DixieMusic2.jpg gave it a "life of the author plus 100 years" caption; as the date of the book this was scanned from is given as 1909, that seems dubious. I presume this was a mistake, so I reverted it. Cheers, -- Infrogmation 16:12, 31 January 2006 (UTC)

Meetup in March

I see that you are listed as a participant in the WikiProject Melbourne. If you are a Melbourne resident I would appreciate your views on the suggested Meetup in March . Please give some indication of your interest, or otherwise, in the idea. Even a simple "No thanks" with your user name would be welcome and assist in assessing the level of support for a meetup.

eliya thamby

this is in reference to the advice provided by canley on the article stated above, firstly i would want to state that this article is true and is part of a research project that i am conducting as i am piecing the pieces together. i request all of the previous items to be placed back as they are all true. i do understand that all of this required clear evidence and statements. this being a thing of the past it is rather difficult as singapore generally does not publish data that is freely available.

-firstly eliya thamby had great influence and had the ability to squash up important matters, thus my goal is to dicover what really went on thus i am doing so secondly from a source it was said that he was a medical doctor and was qualified for the task, but chose not to do so. as that was not what he wanted to do, it was said to be because it was his dad's ambition and so on, it was also partly related to status. the very fact he went on to being a gynaecologist was due to the fact that his father was around for a while ensuring his sons future.

-secondly the only thing that i was able to find out about him easily was his cars as this was what he was known for.

-great eastern assurance had been founded by another induvidual who went into monetary troubles as time went on, thus it has been said that eliyathamby took on the task of establishing the company it was said that initialy said that he was the silent investor and later went mainstream.

these are the bits and pieces that i am piecing together to try and uncover the mystery of mr. eliyathamby

thus i request for the item not be removed but i shall ensure that it is improved but over the course of time

So where the bloody hell are you?

I see you created So where the bloody hell are you? as a redirect, so I just thought I'd let you know that I've just replaced the redirect with an article, since this advertising campaign has received a fair amount of media attention.

A wagon full of thank you's

Hi Canley, thanks for going to all the work of looking up these citations in the library...your answer arrived just in the nick of time :) If there's anything I can do for you, just let me know - I really feel I owe you something now :) -- Ferkelparade π 23:03, 1 May 2006 (UTC)

Robert Doyle article reference in The Age

Great pickup on this - well done. It is fascinating to see how quickly Wipipedia content is being referenced. All the more reason to be careful and vigilant about content. Peter C Talk! 12:13, 11 May 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for fixing my error

Thanks for correcting that </ref> tag I forgot to place on Beaconsfield mine collapse. I completely didn't see it. A very valuable edit on your part. Thanks again. MyNameIsNotBob 08:30, 16 May 2006 (UTC)

I re-added the part you removed

Thanks for notifying me. I re-added what you accidentally removed from Beaconsfield mine collapse. No worries. have a good one. Jpeob 13:34, 16 May 2006 (UTC)

Belated Barnstar

This Shovel of tireless research is awarded to Canley for his tireless work in digging up hard-to-find quotes -- Ferkelparade π

Hi Canley, a couple weeks ago, you helped me out by tracking down some French quotations. I originally promised you a barnstar for it, but then promptly forgot about actually awarding the barnstar. Well, here it is - may the shovel help you with your digging work in the future :) -- Ferkelparade π 19:01, 3 June 2006 (UTC)

Fresh Records

I tried to create a disambiguation page for Fresh Records (I don't have time to research the real content). Help!! Antares33712 20:56, 19 July 2006 (UTC)

No, there were TWO Fresh Records. One, in the US, was the rap label. The other, a smaller label in the UK, was a rock label. As they died in the '80s, currently, the info pickings are slim. Antares33712 01:54, 20 July 2006 (UTC)

Maths A?

I like kudos as much as the next guy, but I'm not sure I had a hand in that one. It doesn't sound familiar to me, and I didn't see my name in the edit history for the AfD discussion. But maybe I'm just forgetting it, and if that's the case...you're welcome! :) -- H·G (^words/_works) 18:13, 20 July 2006 (UTC)

Shopping Mall articles

Hi, you recently voted to keeep the article Macarthur Square. Could you please suggest something that could be added to the article to make it notable compared to all the other articles for shopping malls on Wikipedia? I ask this because I cannot see what makes one shopping centre notable compared to the one in the next suburb. Not every house has an article, why should every shopping centre? Thanks, I hope to implement some of your suggestions. I am happy to conduct a reasonable amount of web-based investigation to implement some of your thoughts. --Garrie 05:56, 3 August 2006 (UTC)

David Tench

Hey Canley, I replied to you on the AfD, but I just wanted to let you know that I can absolutely agree to disagree. Given the article is being regularly recreated, I think the debate/discussion is very healthy. Cheers, Sarah Ewart (Talk) 10:49, 8 August 2006 (UTC)

Thanks Canley

Hey Canley. Thank you for supporting my RfA. It finished with an amazing final tally of 160/4/1. It was just fantastic having the support of so many truly wonderful Aussie editors. And your support was particularly highly valued after our David Tench disagreement. Thanks Canley.:) If there's ever anything I can do to help you out, please don't hesitate to give me a yell.

Poida

Hey! Why did you revert my edit? Poida is relevant to the bogan subculture. In the mid-90s he was recognised as the iconic bogan, albeit as a caricature. Comments on talk pages should not be removed unless they are grossly offensive or inflammatory. Many look up to Poida proudly as a bogan, just as people looked up to Paul Hogan as the stereotypical Australian. Rintrah 08:32, 8 October 2006 (UTC)

RTFQ redirected to RTFM

It would be nice if you'd give us some notice before you delete or merge an article, or especially if you just kill its contents and redirect it somewhere else. Lou Sander 15:23, 13 October 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for the reply and the understanding. I didn't really put THAT much work into it, other than rewriting what wasn't a very well-expressed article anyway. Lou Sander 18:16, 13 October 2006 (UTC)

on the prod tag that you removed

Don't worry about it, I trust your judgement, and I don't see a need for an AfD. Cheers! —— Eagle (ask me for help) 22:08, 13 October 2006 (UTC)

More shopping centres

Any chance you could stop by Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Westfield Tea Tree Plaza? I'm getting sick of this. Rebecca 03:37, 1 November 2006 (UTC)

Tagging

Hiya, I wanted to apologize for a misperception, and try to alleviate any confusion. I saw your comment on Rebecca's page, and wanted to reassure you that in no way am I specifically targetting Australian establishments, though I understand why it might look like that! What's going on is this: I routinely scan thousands of new articles per Special:Uncategorizedpages, and tag articles accordingly with {{uncat}}, {{wikify}}, {{db-spam}}, etc. Though this takes me rapidly through a lot of articles, I'd been noticing a disproportionate number of (what appeared to me to be) non-notable shopping mall articles in the batch. When I slowed down to look at them more closely, I noticed that many of them were being added by Tuddy (talk · contribs), so I left a note on his talk page about it. Then, as part of the discussion on one of those articles (I think it was an AfD, but I'm not sure), I learned about the new WP:LOCAL guideline. I started participating in the discussion there, and suggested the creation of {{local}}, to help with tagging articles like this. When the template was created, I wanted to populate its category, and, in looking for a "high-density" collection of applicable articles, Tuddy's contribution history seemed the natural place to start. However, within a couple hours of my tagging his articles, I noticed that Rebecca was following along right behind me, reverting, without any attempt at discussion. So, I stopped tagging articles, and as you've seen, we're now talking about it at the talk page at WP:LOCAL. Once things are resolved, I'll start tagging things again, and I promise, it won't be just Australian articles. :) For more information, please see the thread at: Wikipedia talk:Places of local interest#Guideline. Sorry again for any confusion, and if you have any questions, please let me know.  :) --Elonka 20:00, 1 November 2006 (UTC)

iPod

Nah, can't find any newspaper quotes or websites, that's just general knowledge I was surprised to see absent from the page

• Yes but that was a 'CRITICISMS' section, and that sort of criticism belongs there, you're Aussie, you know how much iPod have taken basically all the market. I'll trawl through the BBC or CNN to find something to back me up vut it's all true and everyone knows it, evidence or none.

Westfield Bondi Junction

Hi you recently contributed to the AfD re Westfield Bondi Junction, including a citation regarding notability.

I am looking into your reference and will add it to the article.... but if you are going to the trouble of identifying references in AfD discussions could you add some content to the article using the source you have identified? Even if it is a minor sentence in an existing section, if it is referenced within the article then it will be more helpful to other contributors attemtping to improve the article.

I understand that sometimes - especially when other users seem to be making a point - it is difficult to edit rather than defend the article being there, but sometimesoften the best way to prevent an article from being deleted is to improve it with well referenced edits.Garrie 23:56, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

Sorry, hadn't noticed the edit you highlighted... and having read the article in "the age" all I could pull out of it was something to put in the "list of..." page. I am often annoyed by the number of people who contribute to the AfD without ever improving the article in question or implementing their own suggestions. I can see by your talk page (ignoring the random wikistalking ??) that you seem to contribute fairly extensively. Thanks for clearing it up.Garrie 00:15, 13 December 2006 (UTC)
