Electoral Districts...While I appreciate the interest, can you either take the time to write a full short article on electorates, or at least stop writing microstubs? I've been working on clearing up the last bunch that someone dropped, as they're as good as useless, and I was looking forward to being able to pick my own for a change, only to discover that there's two more in need of cleanup. Sigh. Ambi 21:43, 11 January 2006 (UTC)
sorry for being a wiki noob but if what I'm doing by cloning similar articles isn't up to scratch please point me in the direction of a "reasonable" article to emulate. By which - I'm not a politics student and this is a microportion of my spare time so I don't want to be pointed to the most complete example of an Australian electorate. But yeah I would certainly appreciate some relevant advice on what should be included in an article on an Australain electorate. Garrie 21:20, 15 January 2006 (UTC)
Thanks for pointing me in the direction that got it done! Garrie 04:06, 17 January 2006 (UTC) Any chance you might make your MP stubs a little longer? As they stand, they're very close to speedy deletion candidates, as anyone who finds the article is bound to already know the entire content. Just a glance at the parliamentary bio of any of these people would allow you to create several times longer and much more useful articles, and it'd only take a couple more minutes.

Don't worry, I've fixed it. - Randwicked Alex B 00:01, 16 January 2006 (UTC) A$ versus AUDThe first five words of article ISO 4217 are "ISO 4217 is an international standard". So where does that leave your "so much for a standard" comment? Are you seriously suggesting that an international encyclopaedia should shun an international standard in favour of something you found on an Australian media website? Drew (Snottygobble) | Talk 23:32, 19 January 2006 (UTC) RE - Minchinbury articleYes, thank you for fixing the article re Copyright. Normally I'm a serial debater and love to simply fight things out but I must contend you were right. I am new to Wik and at the time did not read the policies properly (my mistake), however I had taken the step of sending the link to Denise of Blacktown City Council who advised me that the article was originally cited from a reference work in a local library and that reference explicity consented to reproducing text and images and at that I was happy. She also gave me express consent on phone (about 2 weeks after article) to reproduce it, however I didn't look into further considerations such as cross-ownership and even whether SHE was legally allowed to give me consent (which, when I ponder it, I doubt it). Nevertheless, I didn't explore it further or at length (which I should have). So it would seem it didn't (at the time) comply exactly with Wik's policy on copyright so thanks for taking care of it for me. A lesson learnt. It's good to see someone else taking an interest in western sydney. I thought I was the only person out here. :) Nigel J Van Houten Re: sunburnThanks for the info. Lots of people get it here in the US, but the most I've heard of treatments is along the lines of aloe vera or sprays like Solarcaine. I see you made the edits. Good. I'd hate to think that somebody has already tried to relieve a bad sunburn with a hot shower {shudders}.PrometheusX303 13:41, 20 April 2006 (UTC) pTerryRe User_talk:Sam_Vimes#sam_vimes
State MP's: Use common names pleasenote your articles for Kimberley Yeadon etc are not in line with the convention of using the name the person most commonly uses. I will probably move it... Garrie 03:51, 19 May 2006 (UTC)
David Haywhat's with moving David Hay, Australian Politician - is there another political David Hay? (actually I'm looking to tidy up the stubs created not using the common names but saw this one also) Garrie 03:52, 19 May 2006 (UTC)
I'm not sure what you're talking about. I had my account renamed a couple of weeks ago, with all my contributions transferred over to this name. All edits I've made since have been under this name. Rebecca 06:51, 19 May 2006 (UTC) sandboxRe:Erika SawajiriI have thought a lot about that issue too, as I edit many articles regarding comedians in Japan, and basically all employed personnel in Japan are expressed as "Person'sName of Company". "Works for" or "is represented by" sounds too distant, because in general they are almost in a sense owned by their companies (their schedules, appearances, appearance, liabilities, and much of their freedom is often left willingly to their managers, and in turn, their company). In the past I've used "working under company X", or "coming from company X" among others. What do you think? freshofftheufoΓΛĿЌ 06:46, 7 June 2006 (UTC)
Hot WheelsCan you please clarify what you mean by, "It could do with a bit of substance to show that in it's current form it only discussed Hot Wheels in USA (possibly Canada as well? I can't quite tell). They are also widely available internationally however "I think" generally they are toys first collectibles well and truely second." I'm asking since Hot Wheels are generally the same around the globe.
