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)

" Reading this, you have to wonder what went wrong "

My stern defense of Bluegoblin7. He was accused of sock puppetry and several admins were calling for his head stating in-factual information, out of stress of the scenario of him being indef blocked I called one of the admins a joke. Which resulted in no less than four hostile "Final warning" messages from admins both on ANI and my talkpage somewhat WP:BITE like but never the less, Feeling provoked I ranted on thier talk pages and more specifically, likened the adminship to joining a brothel. I was consequently blocked by Arbitrator Deskana for 3 hours. (a cool down block) No one would over turn an arbitrators block, official or not but several admins saw its as nothing other than a punitive call down block. This was further confirmed when Deskana stated that the block was not for attacks, personal or otherwise. To make it even funnier, SteveCrossin (whilst using PeterSymonds account) reviewed one of my block requests (denying it) and protected my talk page. I was acquainted with Steve. The final slap in the face was when MBisanz removed my rollback and account creator rights when my block expires saying I wasn’t trustworthy. This was fixed after allot of begging that I should not have had to done (hence the so called "Feuding" with him as if he did nothing wrong). If that wasn’t enough whilst I was blocked I was talking about what I was going to in re to: Deskana when I got unblocked since everyone was asking, At the mention of possible rfc/u I was banned from the IRC server for 24 hours for "Annoying people", funny, no one said I was annoying them but, I went to appeal the block in the op channel and I was told on entry "no" by the same op and also banned. I has to private message a op who I knew was un-biased to get me unblocked.

Now you have some idea as to why I have become so hostile and bitter toward admins an Misplaced Pages in general.   «l| Ψrom3th3ăn ™|l»  (talk) 13:32, 11 September 2008 (UTC)
