Hi Longhair. I have started a proposal at Portal talk:Australia for an inclusion of an anniversary/on this day section to be displayed on the portal. If you are interested in this making this happen, you can comment there or go to the anniversary pages and adding in things that you consider to be notable events.

His contribution history is a complete shadow of mine whenever I am active. It mostly consists of watering down information critical of communists and adding polemics to those which reflect poorly on China.

So you're admitting it huh?
Hello Longhair, what are you thinking? Snottygobble also appears unimpressed. "Fenriswolf" now claims to have hacked into User:PatCheng and also RevolverOcelotX, who have been team-reverting many articles. I think that the two accounts are severely compromised to say the least. Blnguyen | Have your say!!! 01:55, 7 June 2006 (UTC)
I have stuck a block pending further investigation. This is due to a closer examination of the user's history. This user has made serious repeated racist insults at Japanese, called for the death of Jung Chang (I don't think WP is a soapbox for inciting hatred) and has sworn and insulted other users many times - I have posted to WP:ANI. There was more claims on GameFAQs that he isn't PatCheng but only hacked into his account. I think the conduct has gone beyond the stage where "wiki-bail" should be afforrded.

Hi. Could you delete a redirect page which is now at Gediminas because that place is needed for the article of that ruler. His successors and predecessors are under their simple first names, therefore this one hops to the eye when looking at. Lists, categories, so forth. This is to better achieve consistency. I moved the earlier (edit-history-containing) page to another location, and now the page at the desired spot is a simple historyless redirect. Maed 21:03, 6 June 2006 (UTC)

I have removed some of the username templates on user pages, but retained them to their talk pages. If it has something offensive, like TestAccountSucks, I place the {{indef-user}} template because other admins place the {{subst:Username}} on the talk page. It's nothing serious, but I fixed it. It's not vandalism or anything bad, I'm actually helping Wikipedia in a minor error one caused. If you feel that I'm doing anything wrong, talk to me about it on my talk page.

When using template tags on talk pages, don't forget to substitute with text by adding subst: to the template tag. For example, use {{subst:test}} instead of {{test}}. This reduces server load and prevents accidental blanking of the template. Benon 09:18, 8 June 2006 (UTC)
I had to make a complaint on this user's talkpage but that user removed it without my consent, and calims to reseavre the right to do so, and claims the same of any established user (I never do so on my talkpage unless it is clearly vandalism).

I've just updated the List of mayors of Geelong with the years each person was mayor of Geelong, as much as I could find on the Internet. I also listed the online references. As has been suggested, the Geelong Heritage Center would be able to provide much more information, and would be an important source of verification. Alas, I am on the other side of the world.

Okay, I have read about the GFDL and it appears there is nothing I can do unless you actually agree to search for every article introduced by me and delete it, especially anything re
cricket or
philately. I am making one thing clear and that is that although I have technically agreed to submit my material to you under the terms of the GFDL licence, there is no way I will surrender copyright as original author and, as I say, everything I have submitted to this site has already been published elsewhere. Goodbye. --

Hello again, Longhair. As you can see, the eruption is over and I'm back to fight the troublemakers from within. Walking away changes nothing. I'd like to thank you for kind words and for trying your best to be helpful. That was very good of you and I appreciate it.
The problem, which I did not explain, is the old one of interference in a dedicated project by people who inhabit the deletion pages and are not acting in the best interests of the readers, the project or the project members. I was trying to improve categorisation which has become messy with stray articles all over the place and it resulted in couple of categories being identified as redundant duplicates that gave no added value. In the course of finding the best and most useful categories for the relevant articles, these two categories became not only redundant but empty. I didn't know what to do about them and I was told verbally by one person to leave them because a housekeeping bot will remove them in a few days. Then another person on the site wrote to me and suggested I should use the CFR/CFD process to follow convention and I decided to do that. In turn, I was accused by the "deletionists" of acting in bad faith, breach etiquette and breach of protocol because the categories had already been emptied. I tried to explain that the work had already been done with the knowledge of the cricket project and that I was acting in good faith to try and improve the structure of the project for the benefit of the readers. I have had this sort of thing so often in the past that this time I just blew a fuse and you know the rest.
I contribute on here to try and share knowledge and I try to do everything in a positive way. The problem is that there are people using the site who are negative: there is one who proclaims himself on his user page as a "deletionist" and I really cannot understand that sort of mindset. Another problem is what amounts to political correctness and I believe I encountered this yesterday: I didn't understand the procedure and so I acted in bad faith and breached etiquette. What can you do with people who think like that? As far as the procedures for deletion, etc. are concerned, they need to be simplified and they should be contained on one page somewhere. Most of us haven't time to scroll through convoluted stuff like that.
What I would like to know is how do I identify an appropriate administrator? Basically, I need to know who are the administrators for the cricket and philately projects and what they can do for us in keeping the deletionists and outside interferences away from our work. I believe that what happens in a project should be under total control of its registered members only and I would like to know if that can be achieved?
Any help or guidance you can give me will be much appreciated. All the very best. -- Jack 08:39, 25 June 2006 (UTC)

Hi Longhair! I felt like dropping you a line for a couple reasons. First off, you were the first to welcome me to Wikipedia about a year ago [1], and I'm not entirely sure I thanked you properly for that, so thank you! :o) I daresay I've enjoyed my time here and have decided to stay. The other thing is that I just deleted an article that you tagged as {{ db-bio}}, Street sludge. Just curious why you would tag it rather than simply delete it- perhaps you wanted a second opinion, or didn't have time to delete it yourself? Anyway, thanks again, and I'm sure I'll see you around. EWS23 ( Leave me a message!) 06:15, 26 June 2006 (UTC)
Hi Longhair,
I read about the policy used by Wikipedia and I believe a site that I've been contributing to is contradicting this policy. I'm writing a tutorial on Computer Repair and this doesn't seem to be the place to write tutorials (only encyclopedic information was suppose to go here). So can you take a look at it and if you dont mind, move it for me with instructions included.Please advice.
Thank you, from

I'm still completely stupid when it comes to how to tag and what is acceptable for pictures. This leads me to bother you again. My main problem is putting pictures on individual boxers, or obscure ska bands pages. If I'm lucky enough to find a picture, from the band or boxers own personal website that has no disclaimers as to picture usage, would I be able to upload that, and what would the proper tag be?
The real problem is most of the boxers are young, and ska bands long broken up. Both being obscure anyways. So if I'm lucky to find a random image suitable for the page, there is no claim to photography credits, and I can't locate the source of the picture but it's the only legit picture I can find....is there any way that is acceptable and if so, what tag would be correct? I've read through the guidelines, but afterwards it occurred to me that I'm not very educated, and nothing helped my issue. Unlucky for you, since you popped my wiki cherry, I come back to the teat with more questions. -- Btl 20:15, 27 June 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading Image:Barrowcreek.jpg. I notice the 'image' page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you have not created this media yourself then there needs to be an argument why we have the right to use the media on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the media yourself then it needs to be specified where it was found, i.e., in most cases link to the website where it was taken from, and the terms of use for content from that page.
If the media also doesn't have a copyright tag then one should be added. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{ GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Fair use, use a tag such as {{ Non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair_use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

Hi thanks for your note. I appreciated that you were quite busy possibly in real life and it wasn't a very clear cut debate. I was disappointed that the article was altered such that another editor no longer thought it was a good article. User Beneaththelandslide (Michael) suggested in a comment (which he later removed when I objected to what I saw as a personal attack) that Enjoy rewriting history on wikipedia so you can misguide readers by hiding the '"facts". In response to his invitation, ( User talk:AYArktos/Archive05#Max Stuart, see also discussion at User talk:Beneaththelandslide#Max Stuart) I rolled back his edits as I had no access to the source (Walter Crocker's book on the Playford Government) and I disagreed thoroughly with his rearrangement of headings. Michael had all Stuart's later life and imprisonment under the heading Release. He has since restored some of his earlier additions but without changing the heading order.
I feel that Stuart is very interesting not just because the case was infamous - many people of my parent's generation will be able to remember and talk about it heatedly - but also because of Stuart's later life. I feel strongly the article has to present the person as a whole. This is not because I wish to 'Enjoy your Aboriginal elder hero", it was because I was amazed to discover this during my researches and feel all the facts are important.
So have we got the facts right? Is this article "too dry"? Is it too sympathetic? What do you do about the description of the crime - is "found at midnight bloodied and mangled with her face smashed in" appropriate? Is the Image:Max stuart.jpg appropriate or does it convey bias? Is the heading order at present on the right track?

I think wikiprojects can usefully help to focus on similar articles whereby all articles improve. It terrifies me slightly there is so much potential in the Australian crime area. I am also bemused that I have dabbled so much. I do read detective novels, but not a lot and would not have said it was a passion, but my contributions might suggest otherwise. I am really not good at coping with gory or gruesome detail though. Arthur Upfield, yes, but definitely not Patricia Cornwell :-) I am fortunate not to live in interesting times personally and have had no real life connection with crime. -- A Y Arktos\ talk 11:17, 28 June 2006 (UTC)
Thanks for the welcome, I have the project on my watchlist and I will help when I can. Your adopt a page comment interested me, I think this is the best way for me to focus. I worked at

I must say I like your policy of whacking {{ Unreferenced}} on every unreferenced article you come across. I reckon it should be in the manual of style: every article must have a non-empty references section, containing either references or an unreferenced warning. If we made that change the first outcome would be that Category:Articles lacking sources would become so huge that we'd have to introduce an "unreferenced article sorting" project, just like the "stub sorting" project. And that might actually motivate some people to provide some references for all these unreferenced articles. Snottygobble 06:42, 29 June 2006 (UTC)
Thanks for uploading Image:AblettJeffHook cartoon.gif. The image description page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.
If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the " my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

G'day mate. How do you leave a welcome message on the talk pages of new users? Manually with an eye on the creation log, or automatically? -- Tauʻolunga 10:00, 29 June 2006 (UTC)
About your deletion of the article. I respect your decision for the delete of it but was it not rather hasty, there was no notice whatsoever. If a notice was put up even for one day I would have been able to explain the article if not just to warrent me a simple courtesy. Now, my only real problem was that I would have really liked to have been able to save the page to my computer for future referencing before it was deleted but now it appears that this cannot be done, due to a brash and seemingly rude decision on your part, but I suppose that would co-incide with the "criteria for speedy deletion" rule.
The reason why I can see that you decision was justified is because I agree that in all respects, despite having a almost far-fetched life, Jack Carroll was not a major player in the Australian crime scene. However, the page was unfinished and hadn't yet gone into the detail of his drug escapades and criminal life. The information i had posted would have possibly been a great asset for Wikipedia's future articles about Perth organized crime (especially in the Joondalup area). If you know of any way i can retreive the information that was typed into the edit page of "Jack Carroll (criminal)" page, including the brackets used for the links and the codes for the infobox etc, then that would be most appreciated. In return i would be happy to not post anything about Carroll again until, if this happens, we see him on the channel nine news in a drug bust (therefor indeffinately warrenting an article). Thankyou for any co-operation, in the short time that the page was up i grew quite attached to it :P -- Alexbonaro 11:29, 30 June 2006 (UTC)
Can you please move the page to reflect the correct christian name, im not sure how to Ghostieguide 07:24, 4 July 2006 (UTC) Hi Longhair Indeed his name is indeed spelled Brenden with two EEs, I checked, so the page and all links need changing.

Hi - thanks for your note about Avoca, Victoria. My interest was initially family history related. It is a while since I have been down and my photos are all on film. Illustrations of mining and war memorials would be good, as well as general impressions of the town - wide main streets are not easy to photograph :-). Also the nearby localities of Homebush (school) and Lamplough. The article on Pyrenees, Victoria is missing pictures also. A picture of a mullock heap could be useful - I never knew what one was before I went there. Since I guess you are travelling along it, a picture of the Sunraysia Highway could be an enhancement too.
Hope your move is going well. Regards -- A Y Arktos\ talk 23:20, 4 July 2006 (UTC)

Hey -- it's been moot for hours now, but this block caused some collateral damage. That particular IP is shared by a ton of users, and there's a notice on the talk page that admins should not block it for more than 15 minutes. No big deal of course, but I couldn't think of any better way of addressing the problem than simply mentioning it to you. Mango juice talk 04:34, 5 July 2006 (UTC)

Please help. When I created the Jerry Oltion article, I accidentally gave it the wrong name, and then moved it, and I'm not sure exactly what I did, but now Kathy Oltion links (like the one on the Star Trek: New Earth article, for example), redirects to the Jerry one. I'm still kinda fuzzy on how redirects work. Can you help? Thanks. Nightscream 08:37, 5 July 2006 (UTC)
I think Ned Kelly is more important, I think I read in Bill Bryson's Down Under that Manning Clark spent 9 pages on Kelly and 1/2 a page on Federation. Doesn't matter whether or not Bryson was right or not (I think he is, becuase I looked up Manning Clark at the time), it is the perception of what is important. I think this article is high - ie "Subject is a must-have for a print encyclopaedia" - could you imagine an encyclopaedia without an article on Kelly?-- A Y Arktos\ talk 11:25, 5 July 2006 (UTC)

Hi Longhair
I'm not very savvy with editiing Wikipedia, but from what I can see, you've placed a photo of a University High football team on the Melbourne University Football Club website.
It's a great photo, but the University High Football team has no connection with Melbourne University Football Club. The University High side is quite separate.
Just thought I'd let you know.
Cheers.
Angus
I notice you uploaded the image Image:RoelfVos.jpg with the {{ web-screenshot}} fair use image tag. However, it appears that this tag is totally unrelated to the content of the image, and as a result it may qualify for speedy deletion. Image:RoelfVos.jpg has been tagged for deletion, and may have been deleted by the time you see this message.
If you can find a valid tag that expresses why Image:RoelfVos.jpg can be used under the fair use guidelines, please replace the {{ web-screenshot}} tag that you have placed on it with that tag. If no such tag exists, please add the {{ Non-free fair use in|article name that the image is used in}} tag, along with a brief explanation of why this constitutes fair use of the image. If the image has been deleted, you can reupload it but please ensure you place the correct tag on it. However, you must not remove the speedy deletion notice. Thank you, and please feel free to continue contributing to Wikipedia. -- Stifle ( talk) 15:09, 6 July 2006 (UTC)

Category:Lists of Australians in cricket, I made a mistake with this one, Cricket should have a capital C. Do I shift all of the pages in this category to Category:Lists of Australians in Cricket and someone can deleted the old one, or is there some magic power which allows a category to be renamed and everything linking to it to be corrected?
I think I probably answered the question myself, just checking though. Grumpyyoungman01 00:50, 9 July 2006 (UTC)
Hi - just thinking out loud about the importance of Australian places. Obviously some places are of top importance - eg Sydney and Uluru. Other places though are hardly are unimportant in a way. I suspect a place would be rated as nothing lower than Mid class - ie "This article is relatively important to this project, as it fills in some more specific knowledge of certain areas." High-Class for places might mean large regional cities such as Ballarat or Albury (or Geelong). It might cover mountain ranges such as the Pyrenees whereas the Great Dividing Range is top. What do you think? Otherwise I was wondering about adding an importance parameter which was verifiable place or gazetteer inclusion or some such. Regards-- A Y Arktos\ talk 05:33, 9 July 2006 (UTC)
Hi - Could you take a look at Talk:Dog on the Tuckerbox for me. The same anon was the subject of the dialogue at Wikipedia:Australian_Wikipedians'_notice_board/Archive_21#Gundagai and has contributed extensively at Talk:Gundagai, New South Wales including attacks on another user at Talk:Gundagai,_New_South_Wales#Coolac_bypass_discussion_revisited. He was warned over those attacks at User talk:203.54.9.141. I obviously need to walk away. I find it very frustrating though that he is editing many many articles I have edited over the last year or more. Some ocntributions helpful, others less so - particularly unformatted, unsigned rambling comments on talk pages - frequently inserted into the middle of comments made by others. Thanks -- A Y Arktos\ talk 11:28, 9 July 2006 (UTC)
If you didnt know rylan garand is a very important person, you might not have heard of him but i didnt finish writing the article and i was going to write the important stuff next. rylan garand is actually an important figure in popculture in canada, but mainly manitoba.
You recently listed flower garden as uncategorized, though it had two stub markers on it, which effectively categorize it. Surely this is an error. -- Kaz 17:59, 10 July 2006 (UTC)

Hi there Longhair. All Australian biographies etc, are eligible for this, are they not? I'm just wondering because you seem to have done a few of the articles that I wrote in Category:Olympic swimmers of Australia but you didn't seem to go through them systematically. Forgive me if I seem a bit anxious or overboding, but basically all of my writings are in solitary confinement (including about 90 in this cat), so it would be good to get feedback (or told off) about my writing. And I'll hopefully get involved too; but adminnery seems to have affected me in a very bad way that I seem obliged to fix up every problem on WP. Of course that's not correct for me to think that I am responsible for cleaning everything up (It seems that despite deleting 3000+ articles in six weeks, there is still a backlog and I have not written a single line in that time, which is unfortunate), but I've been having trouble breaking out of the habit.
