It all depends - if your info is better/improved on the original article - include the info in yours - whichever way - and when you have gutted the other - then change the remaining empty art into a redirect page - probably best way to go - cheers SatuSuro 05:18, 3 October 2007 (UTC) Excellent - looks good! SatuSuro 11:04, 3 October 2007 (UTC)

The WA Barnstar | ||
The coveted WA Barnstar is hereby awarded to Hughesdarren for his excellent contributions to Western Australia articles. Thankyou so much for your tireless work, it is really appreciated - perhaps we don't say that often enough. Moondyne 00:05, 14 September 2008 (UTC) |
and still like a number of ther issues - havent got around to getting those refs for albany harbour - but was interested - in view of your editing - could you give
good luck nullagine looks like a mess - the minerals list alone - you might remember that graham87 and i worked on the mineral fields art - it would be good to get the places named in that list linked one way or other - but hye dont take my suggestions too seriously :( SatuSuro 09:52, 19 September 2008 (UTC)
Just beyond I find a disturbing lead para item (it could mean anything) - any clues to improve? SatuSuro 03:00, 30 September 2008 (UTC)
Wow you sensitive creature - a couple of years ago the thing about this odd place was the notion of being WP:BOLD - problem is it goes to say that some are too much so :( SatuSuro 06:37, 30 September 2008 (UTC)
Heheheh lol etc etc - when some wa arts are written by people who dont know which end to put on one - I wouldnt worry too much :) SatuSuro 06:43, 30 September 2008 (UTC)
But The townsite was planned in 1911 as part of the Katanning railway, I have a problem with that - gawd there were railway connections that went from katanning in 4 directions - try Great Southern Railway as a link at least please :) SatuSuro 01:54, 1 October 2008 (UTC)
Oops my bad - the branch - Katanning to Nyabing (as written in http://www.hiddentreasures.com.au/towns/nyabing.php is not very helpful for the geographically or historically challenged) http://www.landgate.wa.gov.au/corporate.nsf/web/History+of+country+town+names+-+n - http://www.landgate.wa.gov.au/corporate.nsf/web/History+of+country+town+names+-+n is better - and in the time it took to research all this you did it ta, :) SatuSuro 02:02, 1 October 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for writing that. Nice work. It was on my to-do list. Moondyne 13:28, 26 October 2008 (UTC)
Re {{Towns Great Southern WA}} - that was done from the LGA article lists. If you see any missing which will in an ideal world have an article, feel free to add them to the template. I had the help of a Wheatbelt local for the Wheatbelt template when I did that. Orderinchaos 07:52, 29 October 2008 (UTC)

You got anything on it? - I reckon we need to get it on as there are multiple issues - oil exploration on it - a very odd oil show with idiosyncratic features and - also the flora and fauna seem to have some interesting refs to the location SatuSuro 13:36, 9 March 2009 (UTC)
I am almost certain there are declared rare flora on the range SatuSuro 12:42, 10 March 2009 (UTC)
You are always generous and i never come up with the goods myself - thank you!SatuSuro 13:08, 10 March 2009 (UTC)
Thanks for that - bloody watsonia - some people i know reckon it is a 10 to 20 year project to remove watsonia from any one location :( SatuSuro 15:03, 11 March 2009 (UTC)
Oh hell the coastal regions art could do with so much work - there are so many components I havent even started working on :( SatuSuro 13:17, 18 March 2009 (UTC)
There is actually a 'beaches' of western australia book (its in the biblio of the art) - it identifies every beach in wa - ^ Short, Andrew D (2005)Beaches of the Western Australian Coast: Eucla to Roeback Bay ISBN 0-9586504-3-8. - it actually gives un-named ones numbers and is brilliant late night reading :) - must get it out of murdoch uni library again SatuSuro 13:26, 18 March 2009 (UTC)
Re: your recent edits to Tony O'Gorman... Please read Wikipedia:Categorization of people#Ordering names in a category, especially "other exceptions". It's not obvious, but names with apostrophes, non-initial capital letters, and non-capital initial letters actually have to be mis-spelt to have them sort correctly in categories. I can explain in tedious, excruciating detail if you like... Studerby (talk) 18:36, 19 March 2009 (UTC)
Booming Thundelarra. Published 2005.
Descript'n ill. Note History and description of Thundelarra Station near Yalgoo which is for sale. Subject Thundelarra (W.A.) Found In Farm weekly, 24 Nov. 2005, p.179,
chnged my mind
we need to re-write it to reality - it is a notable pastoral lease just out of yalgoo http://henrietta.liswa.wa.gov.au/search~S1?/dThundelarra+(W.A.)/dthundelarra+w+a/-3%2C-1%2C0%2CB/exact&FF=dthundelarra+w+a&1%2C5%2C - the quidditch stuff has been changed at the quidditch ref - my main computer is in hospital and working on this one is murderous - so if you dont re-write remind me to do so SatuSuro 14:29, 26 March 2009 (UTC)
I was lazy when I defined this in Vermont, USA. Following local conventions I shoulda defined it as "Barton River (Lake Mempremagog)", modifying it with the place it trickles into, a stupid convention but guarantees a unique definition 99% of the time. IFF we did this, we would probably still need a disambiguation page for Barton River. Let's face it, we haven't scratched the surface of all the Barton Rivers in the world. Probably dozens of them.
Then, we would have to change all the links to Barton River Vermont. I'm too lazy to really want to do this, but I don't want to pretend that I really own the name just because I was first!
Anyway. Your call. Student7 (talk) 21:04, 3 April 2009 (UTC)
We're still trying to sort it out ourselves :) The category structure for politicians has been so tangled that it needed a rethink (and considerable simplification), but it now seems to work. Orderinchaos 05:42, 6 April 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for all the hard work - glad someone is getting it done!!! SatuSuro 13:13, 26 April 2009 (UTC) Melbourne was really great - did Bells beach surfing comp (havent even got to uploading the surfing photos yet), as well as the 2 footy games (El Etihad and MCG in one afternoon evening), as well back streets art in CBD melbourne, as well as a very small part of the comedy festival. Lotto or a dead rellie with an inheritance - its Vic/Tas for me ! :) SatuSuro 13:23, 26 April 2009 (UTC)
Lake Monjingup and Lake Mortijinup are two different lakes. This is clear from the List of lakes in Western Australia, L-P. Lake Monjingup is a very small lake (maybe less than 100m x 100m) on Telegraph Road just off South Coast Highway, 10 km West of Esperance. It is this lake that is the centre of Lake Monginup Nature Reserve, which is equipped with boardwalks and recreational facilities. My photo is of Lake Monjingup.
Lake Mortijinup is a much larger lake past the end of the Telegraph Road. It is a centre of another nature reserve, Lake Mortijinup Nature Reserve, but I do not think there is standard two-wheel drive vehicle access to it.
I think the information on the page confuses these two lakes.
Should we perhaps create two different artciles?BorisG (talk) 16:39, 25 December 2009 (UTC)
No worries at all :) BTW I did maps for all the suburbs over at Commons at the time which can be found at Commons:Category:Maps of Albany, Western Australia - feel free to use them for the other ones.
Reminds me - I have to do the Bunbury suburbs one day. Have been so busy with QLD politics (of all things) that I have unfinished projects all over the place. I even have photos I took way back in 2006 which I have yet to upload.
Hope you're well - I'm in the job market atm and doing some part time study while I wait for something to come up (I moved sideways into the TAFE sector, but chose a really bad time to do so it seems) Orderinchaos 07:28, 6 March 2010 (UTC)
Hello Hughesdarren. I am just letting you know that I deleted 10:30, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, under a different criterion from the one you provided, which doesn't fit the page in question. Thank you. -- PhantomSteve/talk|contribs\ 10:18, 14 March 2010 (UTC)
Hi. Thanks for tagging Drew lefeber just now, but when a page is a personal attack like that the thing to do is blank it and add a {{db-attack}} tag (or {{db-g10}} or {{db-atk}} which are equivalent). That gets the attack off the encyclopedia quickly, so the attacker can't giggle over it and it won't get picked up by mirror sites, puts it in a high-priority queue for admin attention, and generates a suitably fierce warning template for you to copy to the attacker's talk page. Keep up the good work - New Page Patrol needs all the eyes it can get. Regards, JohnCD (talk) 10:27, 14 March 2010 (UTC)
Hello Hughesdarren. I am just letting you know that I deleted Full story -Stormbreaker, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, under a different criterion from the one you provided, which doesn't fit the page in question. Thank you. -- PhantomSteve/talk|contribs\ 12:26, 14 March 2010 (UTC)
Sadly, the advert is real. But I agree that this article deserves to go. NtheP (talk) 10:09, 3 April 2010 (UTC)
Hi Hughesdarren. I saw your tagging of Pete Riley and came here to let you know that the A7 criterion is a lower standard of notability. As WP:CSD says, A7 "does not apply to any article that makes any credible claim of significance or importance even if the claim is not supported by a reliable source."

Hughesdarren - You continually edit the Albany Senior High School website to remove content that is not contested as being accurate. Under Wikipedia's 'Verifiable' instruction page it is stipulated that content only needs citation if its accuracy is contested. Please do not continue to contest the addended information to the Albany Senior High School article out of vendetta. The Albany Senior High School Pine Forest information is known by all who attended the school (as staff or students) during the 2002 upgrades. As you are yourself an educator, a clear conflict of interest is apparent in your removal of content that you feel may not be 'suitable' for an article concerning a school - This vested interest is irrelevant to the provision of accurate and comprehensive material in Wikipedia articles.
Perhaps you could do with a read on wikipedia policies yourslf, particularly NPOV, editing talk pages and making constructive edits. You may notice the "content" you added has been removed and the page locked by wikipedia adminstrators to prevent future vandalism. --Hughesdarren (talk) 08:40, 1 May 2010 (UTC)
Hi Excirial, I've been having problems with an editor making continued changes on an article Albany Senior High School, Western Australia by user 203.59.28.108 who seems to want to make a stance on a single issue about a pine forest. The same user has then gone and made changes mostly to other pages I've contributed on. Most of these changes add no information but are entirely neagtive in nature. I don't want to waste your time but could you have a look at the history of Albany Senior High School, Western Australia article and let me know if you think I've been unreasonable? Cheers --Hughesdarren (talk) 02:52, 1 May 2010 (UTC)
- The fact that you people are too ignorant to know what the word 'Troth' means does not make it any less a part of the english language. Perhaps you should do some research before making changes simply out of a naive understanding. Here is the front of the school pictured with the emblem and motto: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/3/35/AlbanySHS1.jpg
I would make the edit myself but you have seen to the locking of the page, thanks. Its fantastic when somebody actually knows factual information but is blocked by somebody who doesn't. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 130.95.128.51 (talk) 09:03, 6 May 2010 (UTC)
You may have won this round Hughesdarren, but the thousand years war for the ASHS wikipedia page has only just begun. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.59.28.108 (talk) 14:04, 5 May 2010 (UTC)
