Vandalism

Why did you erase my modifications to List of closed Melbourne railway stations?? Somerton is on the Craigieburn line and is also the junction of a disused line that goes for several kms to join up with the Upfield line. It is nowhere near Upfield station. Please stop vandalising the wiki. Somebody in the WWW 08:19, 30 September 2005 (UTC)

You wrote that I altered your entry in Closed Melbourne Lines, to wit the Somerton Line. I did no such thing intentionally. I added information regarding the closed St Kilda-Windsor loop line. I know nothing about the Somerton Line, and would not enter in anything about which I have little or no knowledge. If my actions somehow erased your entry then I have no idea how this happened, but please accept my apologies. Nevertheless I suggest that a polite enquiry might be more appropriate rather than accusing someone of vandalism. I respectfully draw your attention to Please do not bite the newcomers, and dispute resolution. On the other hand, I am keen to know more about closed railway lines, and will look for your entries on the subject. As it is a subject we are both interested in it would be a pity to be engaged in pointless squabbles. adamm 02:57, 1 October 2005 (UTC)

Well sorry, I was slightly in a bad mood because of some bleeps who erase changes for absolutely no reason just to be annoying. Somebody in the WWW 04:25, 1 October 2005 (UTC)

Unilateral removal of the history section in ABC article

Hi Adamm

We have an unpleasant situation about to develop over this action by one "cyberjunkie" ("cj"), who decided all of a sudden that he'd move the entire History section of the ABC article to a new daughter article, without replacing it with a summary. The history section was almost entirely written more than a year ago.

Since this action on 12 September, the section has languished with no text at all under its title, save a link to the daughter article.The action has, in effect, gutted the article, leaving what appear to be insubstantial fragments without a core. It's must be odd to the newcomer to be denied a summary of the history and to move straight onto a chunky section on "funding and relationship with government" without knowing where how the institution arose.

Now, it's not that I disagree with him that the History section was written in greater detail than you'd normally expect in summary style. (A related issue is that the rest of the article may need to be fleshed out in the opposite direction to achieve satisfactory summary coverage of the topic—perhaps the optimal balance needs to be debated on the talk page.) What I do object to is

• (1) his failure to raise the matter on the talk page beforehand, and
• (2) provide replacement text with the summary style that he's using as his stated rationale for the removal.

The edit comment for the removal was "split (will summarise later)", whereas I'd have been pleased to see a summary written before the removal, for immediate replacement.

I've raised the matter on the talk page, and Cyberjunkie has responded negatively:

I think a total blank is worse than a long history. Please create a summary soon. Your action has resulted in damage to the overall article, IMV. Tony 11:16, 12 November 2006 (UTC)

Whereas, I disagree. --cj | talk 12:41, 12 November 2006 (UTC)

I can see that this is getting nowhere. I wonder whether you agree that he should either undertake to write a summary section in the near future (I suggest three or four paragraphs) or reinstate the text and raise the issue on the talk page.

I'd appreciate knowing your opinion. The ABC's talk page is here. Tony 14:01, 12 November 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for your response. I certainly won't be asking this person's permission to write the summary (why on earth would I?). He undetook to write it, and hasn't done so after a month, leaving a damaged article. I'll be replacing the text by the end of the week if there's no summary.

Frankly, I'm fed up with his arrogant, sometimes threatening behaviour. At the end of my fuse with him. Tony 23:45, 12 November 2006 (UTC)

Yeah, sometimes I lose it when a situation passes a certain point. Best I remain distant from the text at issue for the time being—that's not hard, since the problem is, at least, not as glaring as it was! Tony 06:46, 13 November 2006 (UTC)

Hi, it has been brought to my attention that the image you are using in the La Trobe University userbox is fair use and cannot therefore be used on a userpage. I would appreciate if you could remove it. Thankyou. Viridae^Talk 11:49, 21 November 2006 (UTC)

Thanks to both for your polite and positive way of straightening out an error on my part - greatly appreciated. Adamm 06:31, 23 November 2006 (UTC)

No problems, I had made the same error. Viridae^Talk 06:42, 23 November 2006 (UTC)

Hi Adam. No I don't mind at all. I hadn't actually picked up that they were different years when I did the edit, I'd been focussing on IMDB having a full date and place of birth death as opposed to just a year. IMDB is often wrong and I'd take use itsanhonour if there was a dicrepancy. Cheers. PS: any photos? Moondyne 10:43, 12 September 2008 (UTC)

File source problem with File:Stjameslogo.gif

Thank you for uploading File:Stjameslogo.gif. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, please add a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a brief restatement of that website's terms of use of its content. However, if the copyright holder is a party unaffiliated from the website's publisher, that copyright should also be acknowledged.

If you have uploaded other files, consider verifying that you have specified sources for those files as well. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged per Wikipedia's criteria for speedy deletion, F4. If the image is copyrighted and non-free, the image will be deleted 48 hours after 09:55, 12 August 2010 (UTC) per speedy deletion criterion F7.

Notification: changes to "Mark my edits as minor by default" preference

Hello there. This is an automated message to tell you about the gradual phasing out of the preference entitled "Mark all edits minor by default", which you currently have (or very recently had) enabled.

On 13 March 2011, this preference was hidden from the user preferences screen as part of efforts to prevent its accidental misuse (consensus discussion). This had the effect of locking users in to their existing preference, which, in your case, was true. To complete the process, your preference will automatically be changed to false in the next few days. This does not require any intervention on your part and you will still be able to manually mark your edits as being 'minor'. The only thing that's changed is that you will no longer have them marked as minor by default.

For established users such as yourself there is a workaround available involving custom JavaScript. If you are familiar with the contents of WP:MINOR, and believe that it is still beneficial to the encyclopedia to have all your edits marked as such by default, then this discussion will give you the details you need to continue with this functionality indefinitely. If you have any problems, feel free to drop me a note.

Thank you for your understanding and happy editing :) Editing on behalf of User:Jarry1250, LivingBot (talk) 19:24, 14 March 2011 (UTC)

July WMAU Melbourne Meetup

Hi, At last month's June meetup we discussed the idea of setting up a Training Course at a University of the Third Age (U3A) to be held in 2013 and named Becoming a Wikipedia editor. In order to get this course up and running we are calling for volunteers to help develop the idea, and either tutor part of the course, or provide one on one help to students in the class. All local Wikipedians are welcome to discuss this at our 11am meetup to be held this Sunday on 22 July. Please add your name to the attending list at Wikipedia:Meetup/Melbourne 23. Food and beverages are provided. Cuddy Wifter (talk) 03:16, 13 July 2012 (UTC)
