Pick a state...

I was curious which state's politics you were interested in, then I thought: you should add , or whichever state you're in. For one thing, you'll hear about meetups. Cheers, Singkong2005 00:38, 5 January 2006 (UTC)

I'm already easily distracted enough, and I don't follow the details of NSW politics. I could give you my opinion on politicians... Arthur Chesterfield-Evans, Lee Rhiannon = very admirable. Scully = bastard. NPOV would be much harder. Maybe try User:Joestella, though he seems more into government structure.

Keep up the good work. --Singkong2005 03:47, 5 January 2006 (UTC)

I asked...

For some diffs to support the way you're seeing me. I really meant that. I did so because I see you doing lots of good work, work that I approve of, and think that we could get along.

The worst that could happen if that you make me see that you're right about me being a "process wonk" and I change my ways.

I was about to tell you about, oh, you've already found it...

FAC

I suppose it's a little like the Douglas Corrigan page on FAC here sometimes there is just not enough information about a figure to make a Featured article. I know this is not the answer you want, but I do feel a biography has to be just that not just a brief "What made her famous". Since the Corrigan page failed FAC Theo has dug about for ages and found all sorts of new stuff, and I think that page is almost there. I hope you can do the same. Perhaps others will not agree with me and the page will sail through. Good luck with it. Giano | talk 09:09, 5 January 2006 (UTC)

Cynna Neele

I'm not entirely sure, either, except that, at present, the article is short-ish for an FA, so perhaps a few contextual sentences as you go along would help. For example, in your note on my page, you gave me some sense of where the women's sport is in Australia. There may be a way of integrating that kind of material into the article without alienating readers who know the sport well. For example, "Even though netball is one of the most widely played sports in Australia, the players rarely reach the level of celebrity found in participants in other sports, and when, in 2001, Cynna Neele scored....." Something along those lines, so fans get a sense of, "Gosh, we should have paid more attention" and outsiders get information. Anyway, I'm not at all sure that this is helping, but I am trying to help. ;-) Geogre 13:45, 5 January 2006 (UTC)

I'll re-read the article and see if I can think of more. However, one thing that does come to mind is placing her in the context of her sport as well. For example, is it usual for the players to be college students or unusual? If usual, you can work that into an introductory clause ("Like most of the national team players, Neele was a full-time student..."), and if unusual the same ("Unlike the other players on the team, Neele played while still a university student"). Then some context of the sport itself: putting her into great games, great achievements, and whether her work was surpassed quickly or slowly -- just stuff to explain what makes her special. I will, though, see if there is more I can suggest. Geogre 13:56, 5 January 2006 (UTC)

Another motion to move Yom Kippur War

I just wanted to notify some of the people who voted in the previous poll a few weeks ago that another motion to move Yom Kippur War has been made. See Talk:Yom_Kippur_War#Requested_move - Raul654 23:50, 5 January 2006 (UTC)

Tbilisi Page Views

Hi Ambi. Happy New Year! I wanted to ask you whether it's possible to tell or know how many visits the Tbilisi page receives. For instance, are there daily, weekly, or monthly statistics on how many people visit that page? Thanks, D.Papuashvili 12:15, 6 January 2006 (UTC)

Cynna Neele

I'm giving this article some tweaks to help give it the push it needs. Whilst to most, she's not a regular newsworthy person, I'm a believer than any article can and should become a FA if it meets the criteria, so let's try to get this one there. Any tweaks you may not like, feel free to edit to your tastes. -- Longhair 01:24, 7 January 2006 (UTC)

I tried linking goal attack and goal shooter, but that'd only give you more redlinks to combat ;). Any chance you could create a stub with those? It'd help. -- Longhair 01:29, 7 January 2006 (UTC)

Very good! Can you add sources though? - Ta bu shi da yu 04:15, 7 January 2006 (UTC)

Disambiguation links

Hi Ambi - I respect that you are an experienced editor, however, I am not sure if you are aware of the Misplaced Pages:Manual of Style (disambiguation pages). Your recent edit of Hume included a lot of wikilinks not related to disambiguation, whereas the style guideline recommends avoiding extraneous links (internal or external). Regards--A Y Arktos 07:52, 8 January 2006 (UTC)

You as well

Last time I was around you had given up on everyone. When I came back, I checked your activity first, and was pleased to see that you were back also. Capital L life sunk its claws into me there for a while, but back in control now. Until my daughter is born in a couple of weeks, so maybe not for long.

I trust that you blitzed 1st year?

--SilasM 14:14, 8 January 2006 (UTC)

Too much netball I suppose. My daughter won't be allowed to play that vicous game. Last time I tried it I nearly got my leg broken.--SilasM 14:19, 8 January 2006 (UTC)

You sound like me in my former life. I failed property in the year I spend organising demos against the austudy loans scheme, and getting myself elected to office in NUS. And yes, living in college was no help at all. Hope you get it sorted out this year. I would junk the college stuff, but stick with the politics in some form or other. Look me up if you decide to apply for articles.--SilasM 14:35, 8 January 2006 (UTC)

ArbCom elections

Ambi, I was perusing the ArbCom elections pages and noticed you cited the lack of questions for Nandesuka as one of your reasons for your vote. That isn't his/her fault; the questions page was incorrectly linked because of a mix-up (everything was moved to a different page to make it a subpage of the elections), and that link didn't get fixed. I apologize for that; I just thought I'd point out to you for your information that the candidate does, indeed, have a statement and questions page. Hope you don't mind, and thanks for your understanding! Flcelloguy (A note?) 01:11, 9 January 2006 (UTC)

Thanks! I just wanted to make sure that you were aware. Flcelloguy (A note?) 01:15, 9 January 2006 (UTC)

Cynna Neele FAC

I've replied to your objection. I'll see what I can do about adding height information to the article, but I'm afraid the rest is pretty unactionable. Ambi 01:10, 9 January 2006 (UTC)

I agree that it's tricky - generally I'm happy to object if the article is poorly written or is obviously missing information. It's neither however, just not very satisfying as a biography - I guess it's an easier job when they're dead. The obvious improvement (pic) is clearly not an overnight thing, and I agree it shouldn't hold up proceedings. --zippedmartin 01:38, 9 January 2006 (UTC)

Hello.

I understand that you voted oppose on me in the ArbCom elections, and I respect that, but I would like to ask for you to elaborate on your comment While I greatly respect this user personally, his suggestions here call for a definite opppose on policy grounds. Just out of curiosity, which suggestions are those. Thanks —Ilyanep (Talk) 03:06, 9 January 2006 (UTC)

Perhaps I didn't make myself quite clear. As I stated in my questions section, I meant that we need to use topical bans at first. I think that in some cases it helps good editors calm down and focus on something else, but if that fails, then we need to use hard bans.

The problem is that using hard bans right away might make good editors go away as well, if they've been caught in an unfortunate dilemma. Also, it doesn't seem like many of the trouble makers were assigned to mentors or anything, which might help as well.

In any case, you are entitled to your vote. Thank you for explaining. —Ilyanep (Talk) 03:21, 9 January 2006 (UTC)

Okay, well I see where you're coming from as well. Nice talking with you and thank you for replying. —Ilyanep (Talk) 03:29, 9 January 2006 (UTC)

shopping centres in newcastle

Hi Ambi. When we were working up a frenzy with canberra Suburbs, i seem to recall that you expressed an interest in shopping centre articles. Could you please take a look at the latest discussion at Talk:Newcastle, new South Wales. There are a lot of mentions of shopping centres in the Newcastle article which probably don't belong there (IMO) but since the information is already there, it might be transferred to an articl about shopping centres in Newcastle or something. Could you please take a look and perhaps leave your comments if you have any ideas. Thanks. -- Adz|talk 03:55, 9 January 2006 (UTC)

After much procrastinating... (Aust Parl cat).

(Thanks for your comments on Newcastle BTW) After much procrastinating I’m going to bite the bullet and resolve the perliaments category problem. Since only you and Snottygobble contributed to the discussion I thought I’d just check with you before going ahead. Could you please take a look at our discussion Misplaced Pages:Australian Wikipedians' notice board/Archive 15#MHR Category and let me know if you agree with the last comment I made. Thanks -- Adz|talk 07:27, 9 January 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for the reply. I began typing to try to make sense of it all and came up with a lot of text, so I have transferred it to User talk:Adz/Parliaments. If you're still interested could you take a squiz? cheers. -- Adz|talk 10:21, 9 January 2006 (UTC)

Do you mean all the subcategories listed under Category:Australian parliaments ? They would remain as they are, except that we would rename them to Category:Queensland parliaments by term to help differentiate from the institution of Parliaments. -- Adz|talk 10:51, 9 January 2006 (UTC)

Where would the actual legislature articles be? Ambi 11:31, 9 January 2006 (UTC)

They'd all be under Category:Australian State parliaments (which would sit under Cat:subnational legislatures). We could also have a note at the top of Category:Queensland parliaments by term which says something like "This category lists members of the Parliament of Queensland according to terms of office. -- Adz|talk 11:52, 9 January 2006 (UTC)

(not sure if you want me to keep posting here of if its easier to leave it all on my talk page).

Phew! Thanks. I'm glad we sorted that one. :-) Will wait to see if Drew has anything to add. -- Adz|talk 12:21, 9 January 2006 (UTC)

I've left my final thought for the night at User talk:Adz/Parliaments. I think we're making progress. I need to go to bed. Goodnight. -- Adz|talk 13:25, 9 January 2006 (UTC)

Vic MPs

Such zealotry in the pursuit of truth is most admirable. I was going to spend the summer updating and cleaning up the Australian sections of psephos, but I decided to go backbacking around Laos instead. Cheers Adam 15:58, 9 January 2006 (UTC)

Bad decision !

Hi Ambi: When most people log on they are taken to the Main Page, and the ArbCom vote link should be on EVERY article, putting it on watchlists marginalizes it, and if you have a rule that users need to be active for a few months then their vote won't be registered regardless of what page they come from. At this stage it's more important to educate new users and the public about an important vote taking place within Misplaced Pages than to have the request for MONEY on every page which makes Misplaced Pages look greedy after they just raised around $300,000, don't you think? Get rid of the merchandising and commercializing junk and mention the ArbCom stuff that is more to the core of what Misplaced Pages is about, a participatory effort and not just a scheme to raise money. Some of us are having trouble writing and editing articles with that flashing "Dollar sign" on top of every page. I hope you understand the importance of this. It's about the kind of image Misplaced Pages wants to project about itself, and someone has made a bad decision here lately it seems to me. IZAK 18:23, 9 January 2006 (UTC)

Thank you

Thanks for your support on my request for bureaucratship.

Members of Parliament lists and categories

Adam Adz and Ambi,

Category:Members of the Australian Senate contains article on Senators, but article Members of the Australian Senate contains lists of Senators for each Parliament, and is not even a member of the category that shares its name. This is counterintuitive and I don't like it. Once category Category:Members of the Australian House of Representatives is populated it will have the same problem. And the problem occurs for Category:Members of the Western Australian Legislative Assembly versus article Members of the Western Australian Legislative Assembly, and the same for the Legislative Council category and article, and probably also for the other states.

My proposal for fixing this is

1. rename articles Members of the Whatever to List of Members of the Whatever;
2. rename articles Members of the Whatever, 2000-2005 to List of Members of the Whatever, 2005-2005;
3. rename Category:Australian parliaments to Category:Lists of Members of Australian Parliaments (Adam, there is a proposal to recycle Category:Australian parliaments into a category that would hold Parliament of Western Australia, Parliament of Queensland, etc, under discussion at User talk:Adz/Parliaments)

I realise that Ambi has written a lot of Members of the Whatever articles and that it would take a while to fix it. If you are happy with this proposal, I am happy to do the work. Alternatively, are there any counterproposals?

Since I've posted this message on three talk pages, I'll post it on my talk page too, and I suggest we hold this discussion there. Drew (Snottygobble | Talk) 01:42, 10 January 2006 (UTC)

I've put together a draft proposal at Misplaced Pages talk:WikiProject Australian politics/Parliaments. Could you both have a look at it and make any changes you see necessary. (perhaps strike old text so we can follow what changes have been made). When we're all happy with it we can transfer it to Misplaced Pages talk:WikiProject Australian politics/Parliaments. I may not be around an awful lot over the next couple of days but I don't mind who does this once we have agreement. -- Adz|talk 05:49, 11 January 2006 (UTC)

I have moved it for Adz because it was in the (Main) namespace. -- RHaworth 06:29, 11 January 2006 (UTC)

Eh, I wouldn't worry too much. Chuq and I drew up the politicians-by-party categorisation scheme between ourselves on IRC, and I mass added it to several hundred articles that night - no one has complained much since. :) (and thanks for the note on my talk page - I've dropped that user a note). Ambi 06:23, 11 January 2006 (UTC)

Ok, but I think I agree with Drew. It won't hurt, if nobody comments then nobody comments, but at least people won't get their noses out of joint. And they may have something valuable to contribute. I think when we've agreed on what it should look like, we should put a nte up at AWNB and the politics Wikiproject as Drew suggested refering them to the talk page where it is all outlined. -- Adz|talk 01:29, 12 January 2006 (UTC)

your vote on my arbcom nomination

Hi, I saw you voted oppose due to my candidacy statement and/or my answers to the questions presented.. I think you have a fair comment, and I have expanded on my replies to questions already given as well as adding more info into my candidacy statement and answered some new questions. I would be grateful if you could re-read my questions page. If you have any additional questions or inquiries please add them to that page or ask me on my talk page and I will answer them as soon as I possibly can. Jtkiefer ---- 02:07, 10 January 2006 (UTC)

Admin. Incident Page Comment Rebuttal

Ambi. I'm human and being human means I make "mistakes". I post this rebuttal to let you know that I found your comment on the Admin Incident Page unnecessary and highly offensive. I'm not going to say the things I'm thinking at the moment for it would surely get me into a ton of trouble. So I'll just kindly say good day too you. --Bumpusmills1 18:40, 10 January 2006 (UTC)

Nile and other rev's

Check the not-bad article Reverend. Masalai 23:25, 11 January 2006 (UTC)

Did you not like my compromise on the Nile page? Giving his full title as it appears on his parliamentary website seemed to have appeased Masalai, who only then tweaked it, without reinserting his outrageous PoV. Seems a simple statement of facts might end this edit war. But if you have a good argument for your position, please lets discuss it on the Fred Nile discussion page where Adam and Masalai can have their say. Nick 04:16, 14 January 2006 (UTC)

Re: A favour

Sure, I'll see what I can find out tomorrow. So, specifically, you need to know who were members for Frome between 1884 and 1902?--cj | talk 08:36, 12 January 2006 (UTC)

Yup. Fortunately, they're currently sorting through data from the late 1800s. In rather crude table form, here it is:

Member	Party	Term
Ebenezer Ward & William Copley	no party	1884–1887
Ebenezer Ward & Clement Giles	no party	1887–1890
Clement Giles & Laurence O'Loughan	Conservative & Liberal (respectively)	1890–1893
Clement Giles & Laurence O'Loughan	Conservative & Liberal (respectively)	1893–1896
Clement Giles & Laurence O'Loughan	Conservative/National Defence League & Liberal (respectively)	1896–1899
Clement Giles & Laurence O'Loughan	National Defence League & Liberal (respectively)	1899–1902

It was a multi-member electorate during this period, and they were no parties until 1890. I'm not sure how best to show this with a table, so you'll have to arrange it as you see fit. I hope it helps, ;-)--cj | talk 05:22, 13 January 2006 (UTC)

Comments regarding electorate "microstub"

reposted from what you left on my page... sorry for being a wiki noob but if what I'm doing by cloning similar articles isn't up to scratch please point me in the direction of a "reasonable" article to emulate. By which - I'm not a politics student and this is a microportion of my spare time so I don't want to be pointed to the most complete example of an Australian electorate. But yeah I would certainly appreciate some relevant advice on what should be included in an article on an Australain electorate.

John Warren (convict)

Come on, any article which fails to asset notability is a CSD. User:Zoe| 00:04, 16 January 2006 (UTC)

Argue with any points I make, Ambi, but please do not make insinuations about my motives. I tagged those articles for deletion because I felt, and feel, they are non-notable. I don't recall sinking to accusing you or Snottygobble of demonstrating national vanity; I assume good faith on your part. Please extend to me the same courtesy. JDoorjam 03:20, 16 January 2006 (UTC)

Incidentally, listing for deletion articles one truly feels should be deleted is not on WP:POINT, which deals entirely with scenarios where one's actions are antithetical to one's true purpose. JDoorjam 03:33, 16 January 2006 (UTC)

You are, however, wasting everybody's time when it's patently obvious that this AfD, as with the others, is not going to succeed. The one outcome of this, it seems, is just to piss people off. Ambi 03:35, 16 January 2006 (UTC)

It's unfortunately apparent you're not looking to be civil, and refuse to assume good faith. The fact is, the only reason those articles will not be deleted is because you all but accused me of being a troll, and Wikipedians on AfD are notoriously distractable by ad hominem attacks. Otherwise those would even now be well on their way to being absorbed back into the aether of Misplaced Pages. JDoorjam 03:45, 16 January 2006 (UTC)

Spare me. They'll be kept because they're perfectly worthwhile articles, just as the first one was before you came along and thought you'd waste more of our time. Ambi 03:59, 16 January 2006 (UTC)

The only waste of time, apparently, is trying to make some sort of peace with you. I edit. You edit. We don't see eye to eye on the battery of Australian convict articles. We can disagree about these things without you accusing me of aspiring to waste your time. All that I'm asking is that you don't make this personal, but that seems to be chief among your goals. You don't know me, you've never worked with me, and yet you're willing to instantly tell me what my motives are. Such hostility is far more counter-productive than anything I've done tonight.

Hello.

I can be a bit paranoid. Or very paranoid. Either way, this comment you made during the unpleasantness between me an Freestylefrappe, I feel may have been directed at me. While I did vote support a particular candidate with the comment "Because if he's elected, Arbcom will be destroyed", it is because the arbcom is such a disaster - it was a protest vote at its most basic, not a form of genuine support at all. And "someone who defends trolls and banned users all the time" is a bit weird, as I've never defended a banned user, and the only person who may be considered a troll for whom I have voiced my support is, for better or worse, deeceevoice. Indeed, I have taken issue with other admins in the past for unblocking certain users (specifically Linuxbeak's unblocking of Brandt, Marmot, etc...). If you were not talking about me, then I apologize and give you permission to hit me over the head as many times as you wish with a large, blunt object in the event we should ever meet. If you were talking about me, I only wish to set the record straight for both our benefits. I am not wishing to start anything, and come to you in good faith. Thank you for your time. --Jeffrey O.

ArbCom?

Could you please inform us at WP:ANI where the ArbCom said something about allowing Neto to work on meta-templates, because I have been unable to find it? Thanks (and please don't take that remark as meaning that he should not, because I do agree that AUM is important). Also you may want to take a look at his contribs log and count the revert wars he's involved in and the amount of incivil comments or personal attacks he's been making. I'm sure the intent of your statement on ANI was not to give him carte-blanche? Radiant_>|< 16:52, 18 January 2006 (UTC)

Technically, he is still prohibited from editing the wikipedia and template namespaces. We have been intentionally ignoring his meta-template killing efforts because we strongly approve of those efforts. We haven't gotten around to carving out an exception for that. Raul654 16:58, 18 January 2006 (UTC)

• • Yeah, I got that part from the RFAr page. Point is, however, that several people have been complaining about his revert warring, incivility, vindictiveness, disruption-to-make-a-point and personal attacks. Basically, all the reasons why he was under Arb injunction in the first place. Was that supposed to be part of your exception? Radiant_>|< 17:20, 18 January 2006 (UTC)

AMA

Please have a look to this convo between the former AMA coordinator and myself.

Despite my being annoyed w your presentation and positioning on matters as of late, it is very clear that your heart is in the right place. Frankly your spot on regarding many of the AMA issues as well, altho telling us we never did an ounce of good was unhelpful to your position.

I don't know if you remember way back when you were ambivelant hysteria, and I left a warm note on your user page regarding a wiki-vacation / threat of departure. I ment what I said then, and I mean it now, your one of the good ones here. Please don't lose sight of that.

I can tell your none to fond of me at this juncture, but all I ask is that you take my words at face value. Make your good work here a self-fulfilling prophecy, rather than a box from which to stand on while you shout harsh words at others.

Thanks for the vote of confidence. I will try not to let you down. -- Netoholic @ 09:04, 19 January 2006 (UTC)

Just because someone is religious and holds conservative views does not make them an extremist. Extremism is shown through actions, not beliefs. Xtra 10:09, 19 January 2006 (UTC)

Darwin page

Hi, could you use your sysop tools to revert the Darwin, Northern Territory page. Several sections have been blanked out by an unregistered user several hours ago. Cheers. Bduke 19:56, 19 January 2006 (UTC)

Thanks. I'm happy reverting small changes, but this was a major change over several edits. I thought you ought to know about it too. Cheers, Bduke 20:04, 19 January 2006 (UTC)

Possible Stalker

69.122.182.198 has obviously not liked my reversion of their stupidity. What is the protocol for defending against these types? I imagine you've had a few in your time  :) All I have had is an unsigned message on my talk page - but i fear the worst! Your advice would be appreciated. SatuSuro 09:22, 20 January 2006 (UTC) Investigated it further and have alerted a few others, I think she's on her way out again! Ie Katherinejohnson. Thought I better let you know.SatuSuro 10:04, 20 January 2006 (UTC)

Cheers

Thanks for your comments on Cheers' FAC! I believe I've dealt with your very logical flow complaint with Critical Reactions. I'll try to bulk up the Romance section as well. As for a plot summary instead of themes, however, please see the FAC page! I hope I can get a vote-change out of you! :) Staxringold 12:56, 18 January 2006 (UTC)

I posted on the FAC, I'll try to fill out what you want, please give it a look when you can! :) Staxringold 22:19, 18 January 2006 (UTC)

So.. Not to try and rush you, but have I dealt with any more of your issues on the FAC? :) Staxringold 23:42, 19 January 2006 (UTC)

Added the printed source that's been requested. Staxringold 23:49, 20 January 2006 (UTC)

ACT government

The Legislative Assembly website has all the info since self-government, I put together the deatils on the House of of Assembly from the scant bits and pieces on the National Capital Authority and NAA pages; there really doesn't seem to be much online covering government in the ACT between 1979 and 1989. I can't find anything in the ANU library that covers the topic either.--nixie 00:56, 24 January 2006 (UTC)

• I've emailed the LA, I'll let you know if they provide any useful information.--nixie 01:03, 24 January 2006 (UTC)

AMA Election

Lacking objection, you're nominated. Please place a candidate statement on the election page. Wally 02:47, 24 January 2006 (UTC)

Ambi, please take the opportunity to place a campaign statement on the 2006 Coordinator Election space. Wally 22:22, 26 January 2006 (UTC)

Crikey

Could you send me a link? Reading the whole of Crikey is a bit like being at work :) Adam 09:41, 25 January 2006 (UTC)

FAC for Australia at the Winter Olympics

Hi Ambi,

How have I gone with dealing with your objections for Australia at the Winter Olympics?

Thanks, Andjam 14:06, 27 January 2006 (UTC)

Thanks, especially for specifying which bits are too short. I guess I'm not a big fan of using surnames, but if that's what's normally done, that should be what I do. Andjam 07:19, 28 January 2006 (UTC)

Hi Ambi,

Thanks for your comment. You read the "not" in Failed FAC - not giving up though, right?

Out of curiosity, has Kirstie Marshall been notable as a state politician apart from her nutrition activities? Thanks, Andjam 10:18, 28 January 2006 (UTC)

Oh well. At least we can't be accused of undue prominence with regards to her parliamentary career then. Andjam 11:10, 28 January 2006 (UTC)

Patrick Alexander (cartoonist)

I have restored the article Patrick Alexander (cartoonist) as it was decided that it should be kept after it was nominated for deletion on 15 January 2006. Originally I thought a vandal must have done this, but instead I found it was you, someone who is obviously not a vandal.

I find it rather strange that you have come and deleted it a whole week later even though you played no part in the discussion. I realise that more people voted 'delete' rather than 'keep', but as Jonel said, most 'delete' votes gave no reasons or insufficient reasons. DollyD 23:21, 28 January 2006 (UTC)

Hello, what times can you be on IRC?
