License tagging for Image:HayGaol.gif

Thanks for uploading Image:HayGaol.gif. Wikipedia gets thousands of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:

This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. If you need help on selecting a tag to use, or in adding the tag to the image description, feel free to post a message at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. 05:07, 9 November 2006 (UTC)

NSW Town info boxes: max & min temperatures

Thanks for letting me know about your changes to the infoboxes. I think we may have a terminology problem. I have been using the mean daily maximum temperature while you are using the Highest Max temperature. The guide for the infobox template Template:Infobox Australian Place specifies "max average annual temperature" for that field, which I have interpreted as the mean daily maximum. I would agree that the terms "Max Temp" and "Min Temp" are ambiguous and perhaps it may be worthwhile raising it with the group who created the template at Template talk:Infobox Australian Place. If you have no objections I will paste our conversation there for discussion.

I have enjoyed watching your pages on the western Riverina take shape. Well done with those pages.Mattinbgn 00:26, 4 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Carrathool Nav Box

Thanks, fixed now--Mattinbgn 04:32, 3 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

One Tree

Hi Ikeshut. Thanks for letting me know about the redirect. There are some others working on the Template:Riverina nav box as well and I have asked them for their thoughts. Also, the Hay, New South Wales article has been assessed and you can read the assessors comments here. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Mattinbgn (talk • contribs) 03:20, 31 January 2007 (UTC).[reply]

Hi, Ikeshut. The consensus was to keep One Tree in the Nav Box, for reasons that can be seen here. In addition, there are a number of articles about towns/communities in the Riverina that are as small as One Tree. That being the case, for the sake of consistency, I feel it would be better to redirect One Tree Hotel to One Tree and incorporate your information on the hotel into that article, where it will tie in nicely. If you are not adverse to adjusting it back let me know and I will arrange to revert it.--Mattinbgn 10:10, 31 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I support Mattinbgn that the article should be about the locality even if the main feature of the locality is now only the hotel - there are many such localities around Australia.--Golden Wattle ^talk 19:26, 31 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Your recent edit to Sittin' on Top of the World (diff) was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to recognize and repair vandalism to Wikipedia articles. If the bot reverted a legitimate edit, please accept my humble creator's apologies – if you bring it to the attention of the bot's owner, we may be able to improve its behavior.

My response:

Sittin' on Top of the World

I transferred an article about the album by LeAnn Rimes from a page called Sittin' on Top of the World to a page called Sittin' on Top of the World (album), to free up 'Sittin' on Top of the World' so it can be used as a re-direct to this song (usually rendered as 'Sittin' on Top of the World' or 'Sitting on Top of the World'). This seems to be sensible as the song, which has numerous cover-versions, is bigger than LeAnn Rimes' album. If I've done this in an incorrect manner, I apologise. No information was deleted; the sum result was that I added one re-direct, so I cannot see how this can be interpreted as vandalism. Ikeshut 01:10, 15 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion of Voigt/465

A tag has been placed on Voigt/465 requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a band or musician, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for musical topics.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that a copy be emailed to you. Terrillja _talk 03:41, 7 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Western culture, Western (genre). Western music (North America)

When you use the word "Western" to describe a the genre of culture, such as a Western film (John Ford), music (Bob Wills), painting (Charles Remington), etc., it is always capitalized:

Western

If you say: "I am heading out to the western frontier." or "I am taking the western trail." You don't have to.

But, the thing that has become to mean Western, the culture, is like saying the Mayan, Scottish, Greek, you capitalize it.

References

When closing the ref tag command, instead of doing this:

You can just do this:

I like the last one so you can see the space when you are editing, it makes it easier to pick up.

Notability

Do you think that this is notable enough to be in the article:

Riley-Gardner Memorial Service Co. of Hamilton, Texas.

??

Looks more like a personal plug from the company.

Bullocky

"It's not okay for articles to be based only on one dialect or country when the subject is applicable to many countries and terms in English. What you call a bullocky in Australia is the same as drivers, teamsters and drovers in the U.S., Canada and other countries. Since drover means something different in Australia, and bullocky is unknown outside your country, I propose we merge Bullocky and Teamster together in to one article in the interest of staying global, with the title of Teamster. What do you think? Steven Walling (talk) 02:35, 12 April 2009 (UTC)"

I have noted that you started the above article. OZ drovers are not bullockies. I feel that they should be kept separate and hope that you can provide further support for this article. Cgoodwin (talk) 00:26, 13 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Well said and thanks.Cgoodwin (talk) 03:49, 17 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
