Dr Macnab New Faith

Hi Blarneytherinosaur,

Thanks for your comments and help. As you can guess I am new to editing and apologise if I have breached protocol. I'll try to be a fast learner. One question: would putting a list of books Dr Macnab has written be considered promotion? Do you mind if I call you BTR as it is easier to type out.

Thanks for the tip re the user boxes

Hi Sdmc13,

BTR is fine. Mostly people just call me Blarney.

There's a whole bunch of stuff to get used to about editing here. I don't expect you to be on top of it from the get-go. (Frankly, I'm not up to speed on all of it myself).

A list of Dr Macnab's published works would be fine as far as I can see. Wikipedias recognises "Good Articles" and they're worth a browse if you're looking for examples of what we aim for. (If you scroll about 1/3 of the way down you should see the section for religious biographies.)

Hi BTR,

The Executive of St Michaels had one of its regular meetings last night and have asked if I can convey the following request:

That the picture and text regarding Scot's Church that is on the St Michaels and Francis Macnab entries be removed by you and we will remove the FM/ST M's material on the Scot's entry.

I have explained that Wiki is public domain and the entry is not owned by the particular entity referred to....

If this is not possible as an alternative could we have reference to the address of 5th October and the new 10 commandments first on the ST M and FM sites and then the response of Scot's session after it?

cheers Sdmc13 (talk) 05:28, 28 October 2008 (UTC)

Hi Sdmc13,

Just as St. Michael's doesn't own it's article, neither do I own any of them. I think the best place to discuss this would be the talk page of the article about Francis Macnab. I'll copy your comments there and reply to them, seeking input from other editors too. Blarneytherinosaur ^gabby? 06:45, 28 October 2008 (UTC)

ABC Victoria Statewide Drive?

What's that? For the record, this is the offending edit(or). Timeshift (talk) 06:57, 15 January 2009 (UTC)

A little research goes a long way. What exactly did they say about it? Timeshift (talk) 06:58, 15 January 2009 (UTC)

They were interviewing Judith Troeth and referred to Wikipedia as a sometimes inaccurate source. They asked Troeth if she thought she had a lyrical wit or whether she really ended her rebuttals by saying, "And that's the gospel Troeth!" All reasonably light-hearted. Blarneytherinosaur ^gabby? 21:04, 15 January 2009 (UTC)

Haha, what was her reaction to it? Timeshift (talk) 00:47, 16 January 2009 (UTC)

Like a good politician, she made a full and total denial (which means it's probably true) :) Blarneytherinosaur ^gabby? 01:29, 17 January 2009 (UTC)

The Hill organ at St Andrew's

I was checking the pages on my watch list and noticed that you'd removed some piping from the organ. I knew an organ "restorer" who was wanted by Interpol. After he disappeared, it was discovered that he had quite a collection of organ pipes, some of them small ones from instruments pre-dating 1788, and very hard to identify the sources. He must have pinched a few every time he went abroad.

I'm keeping an eye on you from now on! ;-) Amandajm (talk) 05:49, 29 January 2009 (UTC)

Boom, tsh! Please don't tell Dean Jensen! Blarneytherinosaur ^gabby? 07:40, 29 January 2009 (UTC)

Oh! I thought you were Philip Jensen! My mistake? Do we know each other? I was the carillonist at St Stephen's, if that means anything to you. Amandajm (talk) 11:20, 30 January 2009 (UTC)

I'd be surprised if we have met. Mr Keating would say I'm camping out (in the sweltering state to the south). Blarneytherinosaur ^gabby? 01:25, 31 January 2009 (UTC)

Not too bad here on the eastern edge of Australia. We have just a little sea breeze. I think I'll go to the shopping mall to cool off, and leave you to hang wet sheets along the veranda. Amandajm (talk) 02:04, 31 January 2009 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Lisa Mahood

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Lisa Mahood, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process because of the following concern:

Unsuccessful political candidate and local councillor, WP:POLITICIAN

All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent 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.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because, 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.

Tulip Upright

Hello Blarney,

I design a website for an academy who teaches the dutch language. The Dutch Language Academy, short DLAc. In order to get a dutch feel I started searching for tulips, and I ended up finding your picture of a single upright tulip. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Tulip_single_upright.PNG And I was wondering if you would give me permission to use this picture as background image for the website.

With regards, Daan Leenders LDaanl (talk) 15:16, 30 March 2009 (UTC)

Hi Dan,

As I noted on the page for File:Tulip_single_upright.PNG the picture is was made from an image by Ali K. The picture is licenced under the GNU Free Documentation License, which allows for it to be copied, distributed and/or modified. If this is not enough permission for you to use it, I don't feel that I can give that permission as I didn't create the original work. I suggest you read the licence and, if need be, consult Ali K.

Sorry for Warialda mixup

I apologise for this. I was using commons Cat-a-lot and got one wrong. Again, sorry. -- Mattinbgn\^talk 06:05, 7 April 2009 (UTC)

No worries. I hope my edit summary didn't come across as abrupt. I wasn't even going to mention it. Blarneytherinosaur ^gabby? 23:18, 7 April 2009 (UTC)

List of Presbyterian denominations

Hi Blarney, Have updated that timeline. Now it contains a WHOLE lot more detail. Let me know what you think. I wonder if there is a better way of displaying such a graphic. I wonder too, if it is possible to link directly to the piccie, rather than the wikipedia commons page (too many clicks before you see the work up close. And as I created it, I noticed that there are a number of talking points - not sure where to put them. Wikipedia doesn't currently have the dates and information. I had to look up parliamentary hansards, and acts of parliament, and other places, to get the various pieces of information. Would it warrant a page of its own, or as the centrepiece of a page of its own, like: History of the Presbyterian Church in Australia? Just a few (crazy) thoughts. M1CH4EL (talk) 04:34, 30 November 2009 (UTC)

Hi Blarney, And the next step might be to give some thought to the actual design of the graphic. Do some proper colour coding (with like-minded denominations, for example). Up until now, I have simply added lines and picked at random colours. Let me know what you think. It has been a fun project, and I don't mind playing around with it for a little longer.

J. Douglas MacMillan

Good on you for deleting the personal testimony on the J. Douglas MacMillan page. I don't think I could bring myself to do it. Like I can't bring myself to propose St Andrew's Presbyterian Church, Wingham for deletion... StAnselm (talk) 11:20, 25 January 2010 (UTC)

Thanks. I'm going to have to publish something so I can cite more sources in that article! ;) Blarneytherinosaur ^gabby? 11:54, 25 January 2010 (UTC)
