Asian Cricket Council members

Hi IA, hope all is well on the Aussie front! You last edited File:Asian Cricket Council.png, just thought you'd like heads up that three new members need adding to the map: Cambodia, Taiwan and Tajikistan - all affiliate members. Some interesting new frontiers... next stop Kyrgyzstan! Howzat?Out!Out!Out! (talk) 10:19, 9 July 2012 (UTC)

Done A proud day for the people of Tajikistan :) I ♦A 11:32, 9 July 2012 (UTC)

Australian?

If you're an Australian interested in doing photography or something MilHist related, please let me know. --LauraHale (talk) 08:12, 23 July 2012 (UTC)

The War Memorial thing? I'm unfortunately lacking time, money, and the enthusiasm that might have overcome those other two obstacles. Enjoy, though. I ♦A 08:48, 26 July 2012 (UTC)

Merv McIntosh

I've just done some work on the Merv McIntosh and noticed that you added his middle name last year. Was there a reference for his middle name being Francis? According to his service records and the WAFC his middle name was Frederick but just wanted to check in case they were wrong. Hack (talk) 16:17, 23 July 2012 (UTC)

I have no idea where I got that from, so I'd go with the WAFL says. I ♦A 08:48, 26 July 2012 (UTC)

Thomas Bath

Can you provide a cite or reference to Thomas Henry Bath being a Freemason? I will include him in the List of Freemasons and in Category, if so. Thanks. Iconoclast.Horizon (talk) 03:25, 28 July 2012 (UTC)

Done, and added to list and category. I ♦A 09:49, 2 August 2012 (UTC)

DYK for Ben Carlin

On 5 October 2012, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Ben Carlin, which you created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that Australian adventurer Ben Carlin travelled over 80,000 kilometres (50,000 mi) over land and sea in a modified Jeep, becoming the first person to circumnavigate the world in an amphibious vehicle? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Ben Carlin. You are welcome to check how many hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, quick check) and it will be added to DYKSTATS if it got over 5,000. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page.

wow

barnstars needed - your improving the deborah hacket article - is great! keep up the good work!!! Satu Suro 10:01, 22 October 2012 (UTC)

A barnstar for you!

	Wow with Ben Carlin! ... your work is incredible. ComputerJA (talk) 06:25, 6 November 2012 (UTC)

Thank you :) (and also thank you to SatuSuro above, who I never responded to) IgnorantArmies – 06:33, Tuesday November 6, 2012 (UTC)

Category:People from Subiaco, Western Australia

Category:People from Subiaco, Western Australia, which you created, has been nominated for possible deletion, merging, or renaming. If you would like to participate in the discussion, you are invited to add your comments at the category's entry on the Categories for discussion page. Thank you. The-Pope (talk) 17:44, 9 November 2012 (UTC)

Good. I was hoping these categories would wither away and die (i.e. be emptied and be speedily deleted), but CfD's fine, too. IgnorantArmies – 02:38, Saturday November 10, 2012 (UTC)

The irony. (check out the disussion at my talk page). Please make your feelings known at the CFD. Once the dust settles on Subi, I think Joondalup should also go, Armadale and Midland might have some historical context, but are questionable. Might raise it at WT:WA first! Cheers, The-Pope (talk) 02:47, 10 November 2012 (UTC)

Just did so. I don't any suburbs of Perth really have either the current or historical significance to warrant a category – I'd say even Fremantle and Mandurah are a bit iffy, although probably can be justified. IgnorantArmies – 02:54, Saturday November 10, 2012 (UTC)

DYK nomination of Beatrice Kerr

Hello! Your submission of Beatrice Kerr at the Did You Know nominations page has been reviewed, and some issues with it may need to be clarified. Please review the comment(s) underneath your nomination's entry and respond there as soon as possible. Thank you for contributing to Did You Know! Agne ^Cheese/^Wine 06:20, 10 November 2012 (UTC)

I wasn't aware this had been nominated, so I'll leave it to the nominator to make the requested changes, if they desire. Probably not a DYK-worthy article in my opinion – relies on one source, blurb is only moderately interesting. IgnorantArmies – 07:29, Saturday November 10, 2012 (UTC)

A barnstar for you!

DYK for George Hele

On 24 November 2012, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article George Hele, which you created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that cricket umpire George Hele wrote he had "never seen more vicious bowling" than the "bodyline" tactics used during England's 1932–33 tour of Australia in which he officiated with George Borwick (caricatured together)? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/George Hele. You are welcome to check how many hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, quick check) and it will be added to DYKSTATS if it got over 5,000.

Oscar Niemeyer

Hello, I have noticed you have done some great editing on Niemeyer's article, which I have also contributed extensively. I just want to congratulate and thank you for your work. It is extremlly well written and show a good understanding of the subject matter. As I am currently writing an improoved Portuguese article about him (the current one is very bad), your work will be extremely helpful in there too! Thanks again! --RPFigueiredo (talk) 19:12, 6 December 2012 (UTC)
Thanks—I actually did very little writing, mainly just copy-editing and extending the lead a little bit from what you (and others) had already contributed. It's always nice to be able to link to a decent article from the main page. Best of luck with the Portuguese article :) IgnorantArmies – 13:48, Friday December 7, 2012 (UTC)

Marribank

I was cleaning out some outdated POV tags for WikiProject Human Rights, and I thought I'd drop you a courtesy note to let you know that I removed the template you added at Marribank. Template:POV requires a talk page explanation and an ongoing discussion to stay on an article, which doesn't seem to have happened here. You're welcome to re-add the tag with an explanation if you like, but the easiest thing would probably be to change the language in question to address your concerns directly. (Since the article is largely unreferenced, and has long been marked as such, you might also just delete the material you see as questionable.) In any case, though, thanks for your editing. Cheers, -- Khazar2 (talk) 03:17, 9 December 2012 (UTC)

Article doesn't look too bad. I'll probably just leave it—thanks for the reply, however (and sorry for the late reply). IgnorantArmies – 10:53, Saturday December 15, 2012 (UTC)

Kashmir

Pak-occupied Kashmir article cannot be redirected to Azad Kahmir page,as consists both gilgit-Baltistan and azad kashmir User talk:Abhinavname 11:15, 15 December 2012 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 49.206.157.214 (talk)

This may be true, but copy-and-pasting the whole of the Azad Kashmir article to that target is not the solution. I've redirected the term to Kashmir#Current status and political divisions—you may wish to add information on the use of "Pakistan-occupied Kashmir" and "India-occupied Kashmir" there.

Timestamps in your signature

Hello, please use the standardised timestamp in your signature, the one you normally get when signing with four tildes. Archive bots, most notably MiszaBot I and its ilk, rely on the timestamp in the signature to determine when to archive comments, and do not support non-standard timestamps. I've changed your signature accordingly at Wikipedia:Australian Wikipedians' notice board#Lake Eyre: move to official name?; if it had not been standardised, the mesage would never have been archived unless it received a reply. See an example of a situation where this occurred. Also, it's a bit unpatriotic of you to use the American date format! :-) Graham87 04:40, 21 December 2012 (UTC)

My signature is rather messy, code-wise, but I'll try to sort that out. Thanks for the note :) IgnorantArmies – 11:39, Friday December 21, 2012 (UTC)

Electoral districts

Can you please stop creating useless redirects for historical electoral districts? Some of those you redirected were quite important, and will now unhelpfully show up as blue, thus misleading people trying to improve SA political history, and sending readers to an article that contains no information whatsoever on those subjects. The Drover's Wife (talk) 17:54, 9 January 2013 (UTC)

I've made a start on Murray, and I'll have a go at Gumeracha soon enough. If you want Gumeracha deleted in the mean time, feel free to push ahead with that. IgnorantArmies 07:28, 10 January 2013 (UTC)

I could care less as long as you're going to create them. For what it's worth, Murray looks terrific so far. We need more of this. The Drover's Wife (talk) 10:47, 10 January 2013 (UTC)
