Hi Rangasyd, I added Mel McLaughlin's question, and the reference to the Dwayne Bravo incident earlier today. Can you explain to me why you decided to edit them out? Thank you.
Hi Rangasyd. I see with this edit you included material from a Govt of Australia website that is available under a Attribution 3.0 Australia (CC BY 3.0 AU) license. That's okay, but you have to give attribution. I've added it for this particular instance. Please make sure that you follow this legal requirement when copying from compatibly-licensed material in the future. -- — Diannaa 🍁 ( talk) 03:23, 6 January 2016 (UTC)
Hey I was just letting you know that I will be using your info in a project on abandoned towns in Tasmania. The info is really useful and will help. Thanks for your work. Tassie Boy21 ( talk) 23:40, 21 January 2016 (UTC)
Gday Rangasyd, I see you have been actively updating all the NSW LGA articles. I have a couple of thoughts about this. Firstly your edits are all being added to the lead. The normal practice is to add content to the body of the article with details and cites. The lead is for summaries of key content in the article. The lead should also be able to stand the test of time. Do you think these lead edits will be relevant in 12 months? Or would they be better suited elsewhere. Secondly your edits are also replication of the 2015 review of local government boundaries article. Why repeat all this. Let me clarify something I don't have issue with the content. I do have issue with it being copy and pasted to every NSW LGA article, when perhaps a wikilink to the Local government areas of New South Wales article would do the job. Not to mention updating the content when the government makes up it mind. Regards CamV8 ( talk) 06:18, 29 February 2016 (UTC)
I noticed some errors in lower Hunter LGA articles. City of Lake Macquarie was originally supposed to merge with City of Newcastle but managed to successfully oppose that so, in December, the minister made a surprise announcement that Newcastle would instead merge with Port Stephens, which had not been recommended for merge as IPART found it was fit for the future. I've fixed these errors, with citations, but I note you're including "[[Independent Pricing and Regulatory Tribunal of New South Wales|IPART]]" in articles. Per MOS:ACRO, an acronym should be written out in full the first time it is used on a page, so the link should actually be "[[Independent Pricing and Regulatory Tribunal of New South Wales|Independent Pricing and Regulatory Tribunal]]". -- AussieLegend ( ✉) 11:34, 13 March 2016 (UTC)
Hi Rangasyd, I cannot work out why there seems to be repetition at Keith Pitt. I am not very familiar with info boxes yet. Can you please check why for me? Thanks. JennyOz ( talk) 03:48, 4 May 2016 (UTC)
Hi Rangasyd. I pitched in to help with the NSW LGA mergers, and created Snowy Monaro Regional Council. I made the new navbox for the combined shire, just showing the towns and localities gleaned from the three articles on the prior shires. Two of the old navboxes only contained the towns, and have been replaced in those articles. the {{ Snowy River Shire}} template has a lot of other items in it. I am not familiar enough with the area to find things from the other old councils to give a balance in a large navbox like that. I'm contacting you as it looks like you made the original template, so you might either know what to add from the others, or suggest either removing the obsolete shire template from the non-towns, or renaming/repurposing it to not be about the shire. Any thoughts? -- Scott Davis Talk 22:57, 16 May 2016 (UTC)
Hi, Please refer to your paragraph on the article Volcanic Plugs:
You are correct in describing Mount Warning and the Nut as volcanic plugs. They are vertical volcanic relics. However, the basalt remnants of the Blue Mountains mentioned are not plugs. But relics of a horizontal volcanic lava flow. With respect, I think this may be an error which needs to be adjusted. The reference you quoted "Blue Mountains Overview" names these basalt areas as flows, not plugs. Please check the geological texts. A plug is a remnant of a volcanic neck. But a lava flow is a related but different thing. kind regards, Filikovalo ( talk) 09:37, 26 May 2016 (UTC)
Hey, I thought I'd just let you know, that I've had to revert some of your changes to that list. The rank abbreviations you added were almost entirely wrong. I've changed them back to the full ranks, since it reads better anyway. But, you can find a list of the actal abbreviations on the DoD website, if your interested on their actual abbreviations. Regards Nford24 ( PE121 Personnel Request Form) 06:18, 14 June 2016 (UTC)
Just confused what you've done to the list of the WA metro local government areas, you've removed all the links to their respective websites, so they're now only available on the regional LGAs. Any reason for this? I'm looking at undoing the edit. JWPJ ( talk) 07:50, 26 June 2016 (UTC)
For all the great work on Tasmanian rivers JarrahTree 10:57, 27 June 2016 (UTC)
I have removed part of your addition to the above article, as it appears to have been directly copied from http://architecture.com.au/docs/default-source/act-notable-buildings/newman_college.pdf?sfvrsn=2, a copyright web page. All content you add to Wikipedia must be written in your own words. Please let me know if you have any questions or if you think I may have made a mistake. — Diannaa ( talk) 20:47, 27 June 2016 (UTC)
Hi there, AussieLegend and Frickeg. I am interested in seeking nomination for adminship. I'd value your consideration and views to see if you think that I'm ready. Please let me know your thoughts. Cheers. Rangasyd ( talk) 11:17, 10 July 2016 (UTC)
I think the non australian creation of this is wrong: /info/en/?search=Category:Tasmania_society. Your comment thoughts would be appreciated JarrahTree 12:37, 15 July 2016 (UTC)

Thank you for adding an infobox to the Joseph Hatch article. With the same edit, you unfortunately removed the parlbox. You may think that the infobox replaces the parlbox and I'm sure you were well-meaning, but consensus by the politics task force of Wikiproject New Zealand is that every member of parliament article should have a parlbox, and we achieved that in December 2012. And yes, we have pages for all of our 1,400 MPs (past and present). Could you please have a think whether you've removed other parlboxes, and restore them accordingly? Much appreciated.

Hi, Wikipedia:WikiProject Oceania/The 10,000 Challenge and Wikipedia:WikiProject Australia/The 5000 Challenge are up and running based on Wikipedia:The 10,000 Challenge which has currently produced over 2300 article improvements and creations. The Australia challenge would feed into the wider region one and potentially New Zealand could have a smaller challenge too. The main goal is content improvement, tackling stale old stubs and important content and improving sourcing/making more consistent but new articles are also welcome if sourced. I understand that this is a big goal for regular editors, especially being summertime where you are, but if you'd like to see large scale quality improvements happening for Oceania and Australia like The Africa Destubathon, which has produced over 1700 articles in 5 weeks, sign up on the page. The idea will be an ongoing national editathon/challenge for the region but fuelled by a series of contests to really get articles on every province and subject mass improved. The Africa contest scaled worldwide would naturally provide great benefits to Oceania countries, particularly Australia and attract new editors. I would like some support from existing editors here to get the Challenges off to a start with some articles to make doing a Destubathon worthwhile and potentially bring about hundreds of improvements in a few weeks through a contest! Cheers.♦ -- MediaWiki message delivery ( talk) 02:12, 24 November 2016 (UTC)
