Ghost towns

Your question is a good one - some are purely abandoned - some completely immersed (Crotty in Tassies west coast) - while some a mers ghosts of former selves - I suspect a lot depends if there is a definition at the main article at which the term becomes the category. I consider cue, mount magnet and yalgoo ghost towns of their former selves - but i suspect no one else would call them that - you are most welcome to change it out of the category/article - its just i was taking the imperative of it being referred to as one from the the king book summary which had it listed as being one. I have a copy of the golden trail book and cd - havent check it for how it refers to the old places - also realise if havent got the off like flies book in there as a ref - i think a lot of the people phtoographed and interviewed were in the old dying towns SatuSuro 10:51, 7 September 2008 (UTC)

The town was first settled in the 1890s as part of a gold rush but today is a virtual ghost town. Finding that in the Sandstone article is somewhat disconcerting as well - maybe we need to have a vote at the Wa noticeboard whether we allow virtual ghost towns or not, or by what criteria they are extant as towns and what point they become ghost - hum SatuSuro 02:49, 8 September 2008 (UTC)

Fine no probs - i think the use of the word at sandstone art a bit off putting - forget the vote - just careful usage then - cheers SatuSuro 03:23, 8 September 2008 (UTC)

In between one disater and another

Today sorted out the pre standard gauge junctions for the old narrow gauge from childows to northam - will atempt to put in - also do you know if any of the whiz jig conversion things can cope with chains? SatuSuro 08:30, 8 September 2008 (UTC)

• {{convert|100|chain}} → 100 chains (6,600 ft; 2,000 m); or
• {{convert|100|chain|m}} → 100 chains (2,000 m); or
• {{convert|100|chain|km}} → 100 chains (2.0 km)

Microformats

With regards to your post on Andy's page, let me know if Microformat makes sense. I can elaborate on it if you want. =Nichalp «Talk»= 07:10, 9 September 2008 (UTC)

The class names are fixed. If you have a microcode-enabled browser or browser plugin, the browser will parse it to produce a geolink. The same applies to addresses and telephone numbers, where you can get the necessary data as a vcard to export to your addressbook. Browsers that are not enabled will ignore the special class. =Nichalp «Talk»= 07:48, 9 September 2008 (UTC)
