But is it befitting of a wiki article? Mmm, probably not hey. By the way, who is this? I have a pretty good idea, one of two people... Cheers, Haddo ABVS1936 13:34, 19 January 2007 (UTC)

As you keep removing that reference, could you make sure it's copied below, otherwise the second time it's used will produce no citation. Many thanks, SlimVirgin ^(talk) 11:42, 13 March 2007 (UTC)

It's used twice, so if you're going to keep removing the first one, you'll have to find the second and enter it. SlimVirgin ^(talk) 11:54, 13 March 2007 (UTC)

Hi Yeti Hunter, I've partially reverted your edit regarding the status of water supply from the torrens. According to SA Water, The river torrens system forms part of the Adelaide hills catchement that supplies 125,000ML annually to adelaide. I've change the wording though from "Large part" to "significant part" as, at least in the last few years, Adelaide seems to have moved to a dependance on the River Murray. Would you have the time to look through the rest of the article for more grammer/spelling errors as I'm usually bad at this ?. Happy editing- Peripitus (Talk) 01:43, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

Thanks in advance - one thing I've not got hold of yet is good information on what amount adelaide draws from the river... SA water only lists the whole hills (in places I've looked). The "Water supply" section finishes in the 1800s as I havn't yet picked up a book that covers this century ! - Peripitus (Talk) 11:52, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

thanks for the edit - the lead reads much better now ! - Peripitus (Talk) 02:46, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

All Nine Inch Nails albums have halo numbers. — RevRagnarok ^{Talk Contrib} 10:56, 9 April 2007 (UTC)

In your comment you ask WTF they are, when it's been here on your talk page for almost two weeks. This was gonna be a nice friendly note until I saw that I already left you one before. — RevRagnarok ^{Talk Contrib} 14:28, 22 April 2007 (UTC)

Edit warriors!

i honestly just don't get ZG's vehemence... or some of the opinions held by the two of you. Do you really think its a massive conspiracy to advertise? WookMuff 15:54, 11 May 2007 (UTC)

Yeah, i don't want to fight about it either, as I believe i have said before, you are a good editor. I just think that the link is relevant, regardless of whether the overwhelming majority of people searching for Halo 3 are after the game. Just because something is less popular doesn't make it unimportant or unnotable. Also, I feel that ZG is a dick and was just trying to make himself feel big, with stupid examples of the godlike importance of himself and Joe Pesci. But yeah, it was mostly because I don't think that wikipedia is a popularity contest. That is also why I kept changing fall to 4rd quarter, though I have given up on that. Stupid Amerigocentric world view. WookMuff 01:31, 12 May 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for keeping on your toes about Park 16, my fault there - references are always good :: maelgwn :: talk 08:44, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

I stand corrected. Park 11 is the northern bank of the Torrens and doesn't cross War Memorial Drive onto the neck and Graduates Oval.Talk Page, Park 10 Ozdaren 14:23, 17 May 2007 (UTC)

I was quite interested in MATS a while ago and spent several visits at the State Library writing notes and drawing diagrams into a notebook! I cannot find where the notebook is, so have not added anything else to the article of late. My sources are listed at the bottom of my draft.

If you want to help, or even just to finish the article, go the State Library and request the MATS plan itself (Report on Metropolitan Adelaide Transportation Study (1968). De Leuw, Cather and Company, Rankine and Hill [and] Alan M. Voorhees and Associates). If you're mildly interested in this kind of thing, seeing the actual plan and flipping through the statistics and diagrams will blow your mind. The second best reference to use is the book by Donovan.

As for selling off the freeway land, Dunstan did not do it, but his government did halt freeway development and rename the corridors to "transport corridors" (expecting that they'd be used for public transport instead). The first of the corridors were sold off by Tonkin, and then Bannon nailed MATS's coffin shut when he sold the land required for the North-South (Salisbury and Noarlunga) Freeway. michael ^talk 11:52, 31 May 2007 (UTC)

You could ask him the details, but Dunstan halted the plan, Tonkin slaughtered most of it, and Bannon only got rid of the final remaining corridor. This is all detailed in a number of books, such as The Bannon Decade (I think). If you're on speaking terms with the bloke, grab us a PD picture for his article! :) Michael ^talk 14:28, 31 May 2007 (UTC)

A "{{prod}}" template has been added to the article AB (food), suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but yours may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice explains why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may contest the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page. Also, please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

For some reason this guy reckons he's awesome, so let's put him in his place. Ready. Set. Go! BTW, we all set for sometime in August/September? ABVS1936 17:09, 3 June 2007 (UTC)

Yeah I had a similar problem with the lacrosse club article. The ony trouble was it got merged with the Sports Association article which then got turned into a Sport at the University of Adelaide article. It seems like having a Nobel prize winner, 5 Rhodes Scholars and 5 A grade premierships plus lots of Australian national team members is not good enough (as well as being 120 years old). Sometimes W/P can be a very harsh place. Ozdaren 12:23, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

I was actually in the middle of adding references when you made your change. My references were a bit more wide spread, though yours from the rowing history website will suffice. Thanks for picking up the need for references. Ozdaren 04:17, 3 June 2007 (UTC)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/AB_%28food%29 please come and comment on this Afd page. Cheers, ABVS1936 15:04, 4 June 2007 (UTC)

Mate, you might like to check out this one too, noticed it in Username nought's contribs. Image is still a part of St. Mark's College page, can you add a description re: fair use? Cheers, ABVS1936 09:22, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

Nevermind, I see you beat me to it! ABVS1936 09:45, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

And now he targets other pages, notably one that both Ozdaren and I have contributed to... Coincidence? See here http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Barossa_German&action=history and check his contrib, below OzD's. ABVS1936 11:10, 7 June 2007 (UTC)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/St._Mark%27s_College_%28University_of_Adelaide%29 this is ridiculous! Please contribute. Haddo ABVS1936 13:54, 7 June 2007 (UTC)

Subtle reply, but I'd say something more like this. And Sumich heartily agrees... ABVS1936 14:03, 7 June 2007 (UTC)

Mmm many Rodney Rude lyrics can say what I'm thinking right now... ABVS1936 14:19, 7 June 2007 (UTC)

I would say they have no idea really... Though I'd like to see what would happen, I think it would be childish to add the other articles to AfD - a lot of people have put in a fair bit of work on them, including myself. I still can't understand the reasoning behind this guy. Good faith is out the window here, whatever happend to "fair go, mate"? ABVS1936 16:30, 11 June 2007 (UTC)

I'm sure I could chase up most of that stuff, it's just getting in to the Archives to find enough "reliable, independant, NPOV" sources. Plenty of pics of St. Mark, Downer, Newland, Lodge and Walkley even, as all those buildings are (I think) on the Historic register - I'll confirm that after I'm done with Uni and assignments. We need an independant contributor to remove some more "cruft", as we are unable to indentify and scrub it out, we aren't independant enough. Website sources could be replaced with references from newsletters, newspapers etc. Other details really should be academic - plenty to use for Rhodes Scholars and women being admitted. Will look into it. Meanwhile, lets get this AfD template off the page. ABVS1936 12:44, 12 June 2007 (UTC)

Ahh that's fair enough I guess. I'd say there is every possibility it someone from there anyway. But let's play it sensible and mature first. I'm happy to edit all the SAAUCC College pages to improve the content of wikipedia, as long as it is unbiased and reliable. Do you reckon you could find some more details about the Gassie in the media? Like pics from the Advertiser from Prosh? I'm sure they're in the Archives, but if you know where else to find them it could make it easier. ABVS1936 12:59, 12 June 2007 (UTC)

Nice one, I've started playing around with an info box for Mark's, follow the links to my sandbox on my user page if you want to have a look. I'll look for an alt. logo tonight too, something larger and a bit higher quality. Lincoln should have a request for fair use on their image too if you care to have a look. ABVS1936 13:21, 12 June 2007 (UTC)

You are correct, sir. My mistake. Will find a good logo tonight hopefully, will call Matty Jude and see if he can get me one from the website resources or something. ABVS1936 11:59, 13 June 2007 (UTC)

The only one I have isn't the real logo, just the GA one for use on certificates etc. Still looking for a real one, only have that small, low quality one that's all ready here. Will speak with Julie or Ann tomorrow and see what they can do. ABVS1936 09:21, 17 June 2007 (UTC)

Got one from Julie, just waiting for her to email it to me. Should be done by this arvo. Meanwhile, check the image page for the current logo. Up to his old tricks again, is nought... ABVS1936 00:58, 21 June 2007 (UTC)

Check the page now. Image is scaled down in the info box, real image is large than the one I uploaded too. It's in .png format to take advantage of the transperance. Enjoy, I can email the original to you if you want too. ABVS1936 02:31, 21 June 2007 (UTC)

"User:Username nought" very funny.. Ozdaren 15:02, 7 June 2007 (UTC)

You've been around long enough to know the rules Yeti, so I shouldn't need to remind you to play nice. I realise you're rightly frustrated, but please don't damage your position by acting out (ie, attacking Nought). Regards, --cj | talk 15:04, 7 June 2007 (UTC)

What do you think of this one? Was working on it last night, using the University of QLD infoxbox template. I think I prefer the "more" solid colors, gona do some more on it tonight so have a look tomoz morn and I'll upload it maybe later tonight, if all goes to plan. ABVS1936 08:10, 13 June 2007 (UTC)

Yeah that's better. Be buggered if I can find a better logo though. Might have a word to the office in the morning, if Matty can't find me something. ABVS1936 07:45, 14 June 2007 (UTC)

Check out this guy: Special:Contributions/Toadtoad. This is the question he was asking, with replys [1] Dunno if you've seen his edits on the talk page but check them out too, he's playing the admins pretty well here. try some honesty, mate. Coughcoughtrollcough :) ABVS1936 10:59, 13 June 2007 (UTC)

I like it, where can we include it? Though we'll probably have to publish it in a peer review first... ABVS1936 11:59, 21 June 2007 (UTC)

I'd say that photo was probably during Prosh, right? Not really the right kinda thing to be the only pic of him on an article page, but probably perfect for the Mark's page! ABVS1936 12:55, 25 June 2007 (UTC)

Near certain. In fact, Isn't there a very similar photo on the StM Old Colls site? even including the GT? I know there a few photos from that particular parade kicking around... Found it! Check these out. Millhouse is the second photo down! http://www.stmarkscollege.com.au/Collegians/news/archives.html --Yeti Hunter 22:57, 25 June 2007 (UTC)

Better find some references for that new paragraph... Can't deny that the article is better for it though. ABVS1936 15:22, 27 June 2007 (UTC)

A few Mark's mentions should go here, wouldn't you think? Mountaineering Club for starters - much more secret than most of those named! Will think of a witty way of incorporating some info. ABVS1936 15:24, 28 June 2007 (UTC)

Nah mate. Leave marks out of it, you don't want to put that shit on Wikipedia! PS - As if he went to RfC! What did he expect???--Yeti Hunter 22:44, 28 June 2007 (UTC)

I guess... kinda defeats the purpose of it being a "secret society hey". ABVS1936 23:42, 28 June 2007 (UTC)

I don't appreciate you making personal attacks directed at me via edit summaries or any other means. Perhaps you should spend more time reading policy and less time being a WP:DICK. If you disagree with my methods man up and say something instead of resorting to cheap shots because you can't be articulate or bother to make your point. You might also want to look up a little thing called the typo. Sometimes people type quickly and when you deal with dyslexia it tends to make you miss a letter here or there. --Oni Ookami Alfador^Talk|@ 23:03, 28 June 2007 (UTC)

Fair call mate, I guess it was an ill-concieved attempt at humour in a silly edit war. Sorry. My reasons for reverting were that the consensus is far from clear on the talk page at the moment, and to claim that "the debate is over" is simply wrong. Let's let a few more editors have their say. And I will engage brain before typing in future.--Yeti Hunter 23:09, 28 June 2007 (UTC)

Thank you, we all have bad days. Perhaps I could have been clearer though. I was not so much referring to a state of consensus as I was the process of acheiving consensus. As I recall wikipedia generally the guidelines/policies encourage that when something is under dispute, omission is better than inclusion for the sake of caution, and I was operating under that intention more than anything. I am neither for or against spoiler tags. Some articles should probably have them, others probably shouldn't, I leave it up to the discussion of those who are regular participants in either the overal spoiler issue or the pages affected. --Oni Ookami Alfador^Talk|@ 01:22, 30 June 2007 (UTC)

Ah.. back to this again. When will this Noughty man give up? Ozdaren 14:29, 29 August 2007 (UTC)

I guess it was a bit in violation of NPA. But I do wonder if there is some sort of imbalance driving their erratic behaviour (mine was caused by a late night meeting at West Lakes..). Ozdaren 07:57, 30 August 2007 (UTC)

I disagree with your revert of the material on the St Marks page. I am completely neutral in the situation and that event would clearly be notable in the history of the school. Although the section may have had issues, like advertising, it is both notable and verifiable, and therefore should remain. I am reverting and am going to weed out some words. Twenty Years 14:13, 29 August 2007 (UTC)

Whilst the source i feel is fine. I do now see that it is only claims, i think it could be used in the article, but it has too much weight, maybe two sentences or so about it would be more appropriate. What do you think about chopping it right down to a small size. I wouldnt disagree if you revert my edits - feel free if you wish. Twenty Years 14:26, 29 August 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for your efforts, made a great deal of improvement. Twenty Years 14:45, 29 August 2007 (UTC)

I have copied our convo across to the talk, so that people can see more accurately what happened. I think we have reached a good consencus here. Twenty Years 14:53, 29 August 2007 (UTC)

Have a look at the work I have done on Prosh here User:Ozdaren/personal sandbox Ozdaren 17:49, 30 August 2007 (UTC)

I've updated the article it was an FJ under the bridge (I've asked AU for permission to use the photo they have on their website). I had thought of the Adelaide Prosh event beeing a section of the other Prosh article. I'm happy to make it a stand alone article, will it stand the test of notibility? Ozdaren 09:36, 31 August 2007 (UTC)

Done, it is now a stand alone article. Prosh (University of Adelaide) Ozdaren 05:24, 1 September 2007 (UTC)

Ive re-written the information on the murder situation for the St Marks article, here is my proposed revision:

In 1991, Alister Thompson strangled fellow student Allison Nitschke, in her bedroom at the college, her body was found in the Adelaide Hills and Thompson was sentenced to 18 years prison.^[1][2][3]

Ive tried to improve the prose, and basically make it as short and comprehensive as possible. Would you agree to posting this into the article? (please reply to my talk, i have emailed all involved in the discussion). Twenty Years 15:18, 10 November 2007 (UTC)

Please have a look at the above mentioned page and tell me if you think a speedy deletion is required on the gounds that a) it is not notable in its own right; and b) it has no context, no content and no indication of importance. I just think this is starting to get ridiculous. ABVS1936 09:10, 11 November 2007 (UTC)

When you started the RfC (1), you placed a comment that i made in earlier discussions in there (see diff 1). I have since made a full statement in the RfC (2). I have removed the comment of mine from earlier discussions into the RfC section (3). Your actions in placing other users comments in that section are inapproprate, you are removing their comments from their previous context, which can grossly alter their meaning. Feel free to paste your own comments in that RfC, and quote others comments, but do not blaintantly copy them. I have never seen actions like this in any previous RfC. I know you are a good faith contributor, please be more careful in future. Twenty Years 07:02, 12 November 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for stopping by and looking at the article. I posted the information on the discussion page for Chef more clearly illustrating the issue. I feel dumb even having to get someone else to deal with the issue but I don't want to get into altercations on here with other editors as I have a pretty good reputation on here.--Chef Christopher Allen Tanner, CCC 18:44, 12 November 2007 (UTC)

Hi. I noticed that the above article has had its hold expired for some time now. Might I suggest that you either pass, fail or extend the hold of the article? Cheers, CP 00:34, 9 December 2007 (UTC)

Another editor has added the "{{prod}}" template to the article Roseland Property, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but the editor doesn't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and has explained why in the article (see also Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not and Wikipedia:Notability). Please either work to improve the article if the topic is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia or discuss the relevant issues at its talk page. If you remove the {{prod}} template, the article will not be deleted, but note that it may still be sent to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.
