Looks like you got em - top right hand corner - is that what you were after? Satu Suro 23:33, 18 February 2008 (UTC)

heheh OIC and others here have each other on watch/neighbourhood watch wikipedia style - sometimes we solve problems quicker than we can think :) Satu Suro 13:01, 19 February 2008 (UTC)

Hi Ian. I saw your comment on Satusuro's page, for the same reason as above, and wanted to make a comment. I know it was an innocent statement, but the mere mention of 'alternate accounts' can potentially lead to disruption when read by others. Perhaps I am overreacting, but you might appreciate that misunderstandings can arise in this way. Hope you don't mind me making this point, cheers. cygnis insignis 11:40, 23 February 2008 (UTC)

No worries and no foul, just some food for thought. More read than write on talk pages, I tend to forget this meself. I like your 're: subject' notation, very cool and useful. I might start using that. Cheers, cygnis insignis 12:54, 23 February 2008 (UTC)

Re: Verifiability

Re: User talk:Black Falcon#Verifiability

No worries, and I'm glad you found the template you wanted. Cheers, Black Falcon ^(Talk) 06:43, 22 February 2008 (UTC)

References

Hi Ian, I remembered there was a Mercury article or two, so I just searched "mercury tasman bridge crane" in google - first hit :) -- Chuq (talk) 07:05, 22 February 2008 (UTC)

Note I am not a google searcher - and usually try library cats - youd be suprised what they come up with that oggle dosnt even touch :( - impressed by template,

however in perth we tried to limit what is really a landmark - its interesting what you have got there - well done for the effort but as for things that dont fit - garn put it into entertainment or something like that :) Satu Suro 11:20, 26 February 2008 (UTC)

apologies - havent followed the sydney one - but i bet there is no consistency of criteria between capital cities :(. I was commenting about your edit summary about taking something out because you didnt know where to put it - one problem with a tight' template like that - sorry about always being so obtuse - dont ever let me start about the lack of info about hobart trams and trains - then ill get really obscure :| - dont worry about the contents - its started - looks good and is line with sydney - good stuff - keep up the hard work - youre doing great! Satu Suro 11:32, 26 February 2008 (UTC)

Flag question

The code you require to add a flag (or any image for that matter) to your userpage header area, as I've done for my own userpage, is below...

<div style="position:absolute; right:13px; top:5px;">[[Image:Flag of Australia.svg|80px|none]]</div>

Just cut and paste the code above into the page you'd like the flag to appear on. Of course, tweaks can be performed, such as changing the image that is displayed, and the size of the image. I'll leave the fun of tinkering with those up to yourself... Let me know if you need any further advice. Cheers. -- Longhair\^talk 12:16, 26 February 2008 (UTC)

First

Id create either a stub for tasports or a redirect, as well as top gun - redlinks dont help. Also the commercial outlets list is a bit dubious - perhaps make a double column? thats a start Satu Suro 08:10, 27 February 2008 (UTC)

I usually reverse engineer - find an article you know that has - and try to emulate the coding :( - im not good at working out what part of the maze has instructions Satu Suro 10:08, 27 February 2008 (UTC)

I think its location is not very clear to the geographically challenged - I would suggest a heading and a rather obvious context of stating it s to the east of the river, and even if it is obvious to a local - somehow a few more words about its location and physical aspect would be worth it - is it near water? is it near mountains(i am thinking of overseas readers) is the landing or takeoff path over water? - it might be there in the article - but is suspect it should be in the intro (brings back memories of flying between hobart and queenstown (yes it did have a working airstrip in the past) a v long time ago) Satu Suro 10:17, 27 February 2008 (UTC)

I like it - i hope others do too - any chances of a map of the area/region ?Satu Suro 11:40, 27 February 2008 (UTC)

Columns

Columns? I assume you're referring to tables? Try Help:Table. -- Longhair\^talk 10:18, 27 February 2008 (UTC)

Hobart suburbs

It is tricky... it depends a lot on what you mean by "Hobart". There are four "official" meanings, as well as a "commonly accepted" meaning, as detailed at Talk:Hobart#The_four_Hobarts. It depends which one we want to use, I guess? -- Chuq (talk) 03:30, 5 March 2008 (UTC)

Virgin flights to Hobart

Hi WikiIan. I heard about the flights from a verifiable source who'd prefer not to be named. The same person told me about the Albury and Port Macquarie flihts before they were launched also. I know this isn't "official" as such, but it's pretty close. Tuddy —Preceding comment was added at 22:40, 7 March 2008 (UTC)

Disputed fair use rationale for Image:Metal & hair.jpg

Thank you for uploading Image:Metal & hair.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this image under "fair use" may not meet the criteria required by Wikipedia:Non-free content. This can be corrected by going to the image description page and add or clarify the reason why the image qualifies for fair use. Adding and completing one of the templates available from Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy. Please be aware that a fair use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for images used under the fair use policy require both a copyright tag and a fair use rationale.

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it might be deleted by adminstrator within a few days in accordance with our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions, please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot (talk) 16:25, 8 March 2008 (UTC)

My pleasure. Re viewing, I have asked someone more expert that I am to tidy it up, so please check back soon, and hopefully it will be a new improved Tasmanian Barnstar v1.1 asap... Robert Fleming (talk) 08:07, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

country roads of tas template needed

interested? Satu Suro 09:47, 2 April 2008 (UTC)

I'll have a look - having started the gordon river road art (please cleanup the box for me????) I thought there are subsidiary lesser roads that need a nice template - back to you soon - cheers Satu Suro 03:40, 3 April 2008 (UTC)

start of B 61 - the money from the feds in the 60s payed from maydena - but my maps says further back it strts - any clues? Satu Suro 03:43, 3 April 2008 (UTC)

Excellent - thank you - it is very good - you ready for a whole spate of west coast roads? (i havent found a good template yet -computer cabling is being updated - off for a while) (btw trust you still have a roof and electricity :| Satu Suro 05:27, 3 April 2008 (UTC)

Nah checked the west oz ones - it seem more time has been spent doing things about the boxes on the rhs rather than a template - maybe we just leave it at that for the moment Satu Suro 05:52, 3 April 2008 (UTC)

Lyell Highway

Has a question if you are able to answer thanks - I just noticed but got to get off - cheers Satu Suro 23:49, 29 July 2008 (UTC)

You seem like a legend! —Preceding unsigned comment added by Aaroncrick (talk • contribs) 06:41, 30 July 2008 (UTC)

He is and at least he signs - thanks for the fix of lyell Satu Suro 00:55, 31 July 2008 (UTC)

Hobart

I thinks it looks fine for a start - my head is full of indonesian threads at the mo - give me a day orso - I suppose i know thta some of the arts that hget linked to might be a bit short on the historical - thats where I'd want to have abit more i think - either in other arts or that one. tyops here and there - its cold in perth wa Satu Suro 12:45, 3 August 2008 (UTC)

I think you are miles ahead of the crappy wa one - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transport_in_Perth - very poor! I reckon you need to put more links and history in somehow is my preferences Satu Suro 04:03, 4 August 2008 (UTC)

Maybe some other oz cities have better ones to take ideas from but dont bother with the perth wa one :(Satu Suro 04:07, 4 August 2008 (UTC)

And as for Transport in Australia - yuk what a mess - since when we oz editors have to allow cia factbook refs on our arts - odd Satu Suro 05:30, 4 August 2008 (UTC)

Yo from Phil in Tas. Thanks for the layout help; appreciated. :-)--Phil Wardle (talk) 05:13, 25 December 2008 (UTC)

Bell Bay Railway

I believe you will find that this line is NARROW GAUGE. Your reference appears to refer to a Commonwealth proposal which has not yet occurred.

Hobart meetup

Hi Ian, just letting you know that a Hobart meetup is planned for Monday 19th January. If you're around it would be great if you could come along. See Wikipedia:Meetup/Hobart for info. thanks, pfctdayelise (talk) 11:12, 13 January 2009 (UTC)

Energy in Tas

Looks good - well done - make sure you dont ever link to specific hydro web page - the links get lost regularly :( Satu Suro 22:48, 30 January 2009 (UTC) Not sure ask chuq or one of the mainland admins - would be best Satu Suro 10:37, 4 February 2009 (UTC)

Barn start

will find the other that was useless Satu Suro 12:58, 6 February 2009 (UTC) ahh used for the very rarely editing fish with the beefart name -

		Tireless Contributor Barnstar Award
		Cripes mate - the power stations stubs will never be the same again - what a relief Satu Suro 13:15, 6 February 2009 (UTC)

Well deserved accolade

Big problem with user pages it (to me) goes back to the user - does it help you in your WP work - I am no longer interested in the userbox obssessed - it is a a damned good place to have things to work from - so appearance in the end is pointless to me - it is the functionality for you to be able to access stuff - sorry to be a damp squib on that - in the ends it is up to how you use it! Satu Suro 05:21, 7 February 2009 (UTC)

Yes I think my userpage was based on yours ... well copied. I couldn't remember who it was from until I read your message on Satu's talkpage about a minute ago. I copied your userpage because I wanted to start and change the public reputation I'd given myself in a few weeks and I didn't know how to make a userpage, so I just copied someone. I think my talkpage was also based on Satu's. Personally I don't think it matters, but that just my opinion. Well done on the Barnstar! Aaroncrick^{(Tassie talk)} 07:06, 23 February 2009 (UTC)

Hey man

Any time (thanks for the start_bar) - we gotta keep the mainlanders honest - :) Satu Suro 06:38, 24 February 2009 (UTC) Yeah and i have heaps of jpgs i could load too - i reckon better to build up a bank of images in commons and keep the article down to a few - also dates are vip for queenie - i was there in november 2008, and i have pickeies of there from years ago (70/s, 2002 etc) - the place changes - and it would be vip to make details of when taken on the commons descriptions - otherwise we'll end up with a dogs breakfast - the article itself is a horrible mess - will need to go there and do a big cleanup some time :( Satu Suro 03:38, 7 March 2009 (UTC)

Airport plan image

In response to your question on Wikipedia:Image copyright help desk, it seems to me like the image is usable according to The Rules™, but I would be against including it for practical reasons. The image "2009 Preliminary Draft Master Plan" should pass all of the criteria for fair use, but we couldn't put it on the page at a high enough resolution for anyone to actually be able to read it. I suggest just linking to the document instead.

On another note, the Wikipedia:Image copyright help desk page is supposed to be deprecated in favor of Wikipedia:Media copyright questions, which has many more people watching it. Happy editing! --erachima talk 04:42, 15 August 2009 (UTC)

I have also left you answer at the Wikipedia:Image copyright help desk. --CyclePat (talk) 17:24, 15 August 2009 (UTC)

p.s.: Don't worry about the Wikipedia:Media copyright questions vs Wikipedia:Image copyright help desk... I believe that's pure Bureaucracy. Feel free to ignore it and post wherever you feel is appropriate. --CyclePat (talk) 17:29, 15 August 2009 (UTC)

Hotel Grand sources

Hi, I can probably help you with sources about the Hotel Grand Chancellor if you don't have easy access to a major uni library. I haven't found many in-depth sources yet, but I'll email what I have found if you drop me an email. --John Vandenberg ^(chat) 14:48, 15 October 2009 (UTC)
