Busselton

Hi Hossen27! Welcome to Wikipedia, and congratulations on your recent work on the Busselton article. Can I make a suggestion though? It's probably better if you make fewer (but larger) edits, rather than lots of small ones, as this makes the edit history a bit easier to follow. The show preview button is really useful for this if you want to see how one edit looks before making another. Personally, I can't really talk, having just made 5 edits to the Busselton talk page in under two hours, but anyway... :) Keep up the good work! - Gobeirne 21:02, 10 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Busselton map image

Hi, I improved the Busselton map image you uploaded (Image:Busselton dotmap.JPG) by various means. Now it's cleaner, smaller in filesize, losslessly compressed and nicely cropped (Image:Busselton map.png). I've listed the original for deletion – hope this is OK. –Mysid 11:01, 21 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Hossen27,

I just noticed that you're making use of the Western Australian userbox I created. Good stuff! You might also be interested to know that you can show that you speak a little Indonesian by using a {{User id-1}} box, as shown on the right. For more information see Wikipedia:Babel.

Keep up the good work!

Edit summaries

I saw you made a nice addition to Australian regional rivalries. Thanks. What would have been even more useful is if you made use of edit summaries:

When editing an article on Wikipedia there is a small field labelled "Edit summary" under the main edit-box. It looks like this:

The text written here will appear on the Recent changes page, in the page revision history, on the diff page, and in the watchlists of users who are watching that article. See m:Help:Edit summary for full information on this feature.

When you leave the edit summary blank, some of your edits could be mistaken for vandalism and may be reverted; more importantly, edit summaries are useful for quickly seeing what and when things have changed.

So please always briefly summarize your edits. Thank you. jnothman ^talk 12:33, 22 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Residential Developments Busselton

I reckon someone else might give you a hard time on this one as it approaches advertising, but that's not for me to say, but dont say I didnt warn ya!! Admittedly it does outline an issue, and where the line is drawn, well - I'll leave it to you and whoever else might tackle the issue.. :) vcxlor 11:52, 17 December 2005 (UTC) OK if you're ready for it, just have a read of wikipedia:advertising for a start. If you were to put commentary about the issues arising (ecocide for a start - the region cannot cope with that level of development) just wait for comment when all the millionaires in retirement when global warming swamps busso! howcome allanah hasnt said a word? - but then if you take a view from over at eagle bay then greed is the name of the region anyway :) cheers vcxlor 06:25, 18 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Australian Military Bases

I've moved the RAN list to the page Current Royal Australian Navy ships; this is similar to the list of Royal Navy shore establishments on the Current Royal Navy ships page. It can also allow the army and RAAF lists to be moved to their own pages also. However, if you wish to reinstate the RAN list to the original page, Wikipedia is free for everyone to modify, so I'd have no objection. Hammersfan 05:52, 18 December 2005 OK for reinstating the RAN bases to this page - however, over the last few days, I have been adding specific pages about RAN establishments, so you may want to modify the list slightly.

Badges of the Royal Australian Navy

Hi Hossen27. I've been working through the backlog of images at Category:Uploader unsure of copyright status - any images added to this category should have their copyright status tagged within seven days, and all the images I deleted were there from the start of December or earlier. Regards, CLW 08:26, 9 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I'm afraid I'm don't know enough about copyright law to confirm whether or not your interpretation is correct. Sorry! CLW 12:22, 9 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

No need to worry - I've already been through the other images, and they already have tags confirming copyright status! Regards, CLW 12:48, 9 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there! I originally made the WikiProject Perth Userbox but it was not set to a template. User:M Johnson has created a new WikiProject Perth Userbox and it is templated. I just thought you might want to know about it.--Ali K 14:32, 10 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Rod Rage?

The response in civil disturbance talk page should give you the pointer on this one - If you are amused by such stuff, try another article - civil disturbances are riots and collective behaviour. There have been many single crazy acts (which constitute criminal acts because there is definite breaking the law) which are difficult to source and track down - it'd be a great article~! Best Wishes SatuSuro 12:09, 17 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, g'day from dem hills to the east - difficult, probably there are indexes in the liswa site, or the old card index if they havent thrown it out from Battye library - you'd probably need to do that, or track down an old policeman who could remember such things - also think of a whole range of possible cross references for stupid behaviour which was also verging on criminal behaviour. Prosh in the old days always verged on it, and some stunts were very very marginal. The old Daily News and sunday Times alway loved to pick up these sort of stories - I dont know how well indexed. Off the top of my head cant even think what sort of reasonable keyword to google on! Best of luck, otherwise get back and I'll do some checks of my own for ya!

1 RAR

1 RAR is a light infantry battalion. According to the Book 'From Redcoats to Cams' by Ian Kuring, light infantry battalions currently consist of:

Battalion HQ
4 Rifle Companies (A,B,C,D company)
Support Company
Administration Company

I don't know if 1 RAR is at full strength through, and I doubt that this is made public anywhere.

According to the Department of Defence's website, as part of the 'hardening and networking' initiative 1 RAR and 2 RAR will be re-organised into 3 rifle companies and support elements (the rifle companies will be larger than the current companies). I can't remember if they announced a date for this change though. --Nick Dowling 07:17, 31 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Image copyright problem with Image:HMAS_Brunei.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:HMAS_Brunei.jpg. However, the image may soon be deleted unless we can determine the copyright holder and copyright status. The Wikimedia Foundation is very careful about the images included in Wikipedia because of copyright law (see Wikipedia's Copyright policy).

The copyright holder is usually the creator, the creator's employer, or the last person who was transferred ownership rights. Copyright information on images on Wikipedia is signified using copyright templates. The three basic license types on Wikipedia are open content, public domain, and fair use. Find the appropriate template in Wikipedia:Image copyright tags and place it on the image page like this: {{TemplateName}}.

Please signify the copyright information on any other images you have uploaded or will upload. Remember that images without this important information can be deleted by an administrator. You can get help on image copyright tagging from Wikipedia talk:Image copyright tags. -- Carnildo 11:27, 31 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Aus. political boxes

I am unaware of any rule change though I was also unaware that using logos are breach of fair use.

Commonwealth of Nations

The British Commonwealth ceased to exist in 1949. It has been replaced by the Commonwealth of Nations. So references to it for 1962 must not refer to the British Commonwealth. Hu 09:01, 11 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Image Tagging Image:Cardassian Dreadnought.jpg

This media may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:Cardassian Dreadnought.jpg. I notice the 'image' page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is therefore unclear. If you have not created this media yourself then you need to argue that we have the right to use the media on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the media yourself then you should also specify where you found it, i.e., in most cases link to the website where you got it, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the media also doesn't have a copyright tag then you must also add one. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then you can use {{GFDL-self}} to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media qualifies as fair use, please read fair use, and then 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.

If you have uploaded other media, please check that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, 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 unsourced and untagged images will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Dethomas 04:56, 8 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Image copyright problem with Image:723sqn_crest.gif

Thanks for uploading Image:723sqn_crest.gif. The image has been identified as not specifying the copyright status of the image, which is required by Wikipedia's policy on images. If you don't indicate the copyright status of the image on the image's description page, using an appropriate copyright tag, it may be deleted some time in the next seven days. If you have uploaded other images, please verify that you have provided copyright information for them as well.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:

Military history WikiProject Newsletter, Issue I

The Military history WikiProject Newsletter
Issue I - March 2006

Project news

An independent military history peer review has been created for the benefit of the project. A number of articles have already been reviewed, receiving significantly more feedback within the project than they did on the generic peer review page.
The project's Collaboration of the Fortnight got off to a great start with Ferdinand Foch and is now focusing on the military history of Spain.
Two new task forces—dealing with warfare during classical antiquity and the Middle Ages—have been created.
An effort to build a catalogue of high-quality maps for use in military history articles is now underway.
The newly-formed translation department is looking for volunteers to help with translating featured articles from other-language Wikipedias.

From the Coordinators

Welcome to the inaugural issue of the Military history WikiProject's newsletter! We hope that this new format will help members—especially those who may be unable to keep up with some of the rapid developments that tend to occur—find new groups and programs within the project that they may wish to participate in.

Please consider this inital issue to be a prototype; as always, any comments and suggestions are quite welcome, and will help us improve the newsletter in the coming months.

Kirill Lok s hin, Lead Coordinator

Current proposals

Proposed guidelines for categories of military people are currently being discussed. A number of issues have already been resolved, but the proposed scheme is still in draft form and further input would be very welcome.
