Hi Longhair. I have started a proposal at Portal talk:Australia for an inclusion of an anniversary/on this day section to be displayed on the portal. If you are interested in this making this happen, you can comment there or go to the anniversary pages and adding in things that you consider to be notable events. Regards, Blnguyen | Have your say!!! 04:17, 23 May 2006 (UTC)
JackLumber (Contribs) continues to bully/harrass me, calling my knowlege "faulty" and even making and unauthoused edit by striking something out in a comment of mine and calling it "blasphemy." I think Jack needs to be blocked. Myrtone@Longhair.com.au:-(
PS some of the dialogue can also be found on my talkpage
Thank yoy for welcome

Sources/Info/Need more help :)
- You helped me out with the Sam Soliman page/pic and now I have another question. Or favor to ask. In the Jonestown article am I wrong to expect more sources than what I see there? I see all properly documented sources for all the supposed "conspiracy" information, but it seems that the widely accepted "mainstream media" information goes un-sourced. What is the standard wiki-practice for this? If it's supposed to be NPOV, shouldn't that apply to both conspiracy nut and mainstream lemming? And is there more specific help already documented for issues like this crap? I enjoy the wiki...but it seems a bit tough for a n00b to get his handle on things...which is why I came back here...to the first person to give me some help :P
- But how much is too much to expect for sources in an article as controversial as the Jonestown mystery? I just don't like seeing a medium such as Wikipedia end up towing the company line for histroical events mired in mis-information such as this because a few people have the right style. Anyways, thank you for that help, I'm going to stick it in a few blatant spots on there but I know it treads a line between sourcing and over-sourcing that must annoy a certain percentage of people on here.
- Thanks a trundle.
- Picked up on the colons for the discussions. Err. Whatever the two dots are if they're not colons. :) Anyways, Jonestown, to me, represents the most horrific, frightening bit of inhumanity one human can exert. Since we're all humans, I think the fright should apply to all of us. I doubt we'll ever know what happened, but I know it scares the shit out of me and even more so how passively people overlook it.
- You've been a huge help with everything. I'd mail you a bundt cake if it weren't so far.

Need your pedantry/technical expertise
Hi,
I just created a new article at insult comic. Could you give it the Longhair treatment in terms of categorization and cleanup please? - Richardcavell 03:17, 26 May 2006 (UTC)
Another one
I've started Ricky May. You're better at category/stub sorting than me. Would you mind? - Richardcavell 04:42, 26 May 2006 (UTC)
- I'm also surprised that Ricky May didn't have an article, so I constructed one based on my own memory and a web reference that I found. He died back in 1988 (which makes me feel very old, since I remember him on Hey Hey), and I guess he was not current when the Internet became a record of goings on, as it is now. - Richardcavell 04:50, 26 May 2006 (UTC)
Yet another one
I'm on a roll. Kenja, please. - Richardcavell 05:17, 26 May 2006 (UTC)
Thank you for your hard work

Perth Concert Hall
Hi there. You recently added a template for pictures to be added to the Perth Concert Hall article. I added an image to this page the other day, and seeing as the article is only small, maybe one is enough for now? Thanks, --Ali K 02:52, 27 May 2006 (UTC)

User EurowikiJ keeps removing warnings and ignores them
Hi. Could you please help - User:EurowikiJ keeps removing warnings from his talk page. He was warned several times not to blank sourced sections, but he neither wants to discuss it and ignores policy warnings. Now he even removes warnings from his talk page. Could you please help?

Richard Davey
I'm mystified, I thought Richard was an actor and director, this stuff about film - where does this come from? With respect, he's an author and shakespearian to boot, but film? SatuSuro 08:53, 29 May 2006 (UTC)
HM Prison Risdon
Thanks for the image of the prison. I'm impressed your image arrived only a few days after my request. Well done. -- Longhair 21:58, 29 May 2006 (UTC)
- Not a worry, I've had that picture for some time, but as i'm only a new user to Wikipedia, i've only just figured out how to upload pictures. Wiki ian 00:39, 30 May 2006 (UTC)

I just got your welcome message on my talk page. I just want to check whether this was a routine (but warm) hello, or a (tactful) hint that I hadn't read all the guides well enough?

Ambroise Voillard
Could you please fix the issue with Ambrose Vollard? A user short-circuted the move process, and the traceability of the document is lost... --Folajimi 23:49, 1 June 2006 (UTC)
- The original document was Ambrose Vollard; its contents was moved via a copy-and-paste job to Ambroise Vollard today. --Folajimi 23:59, 1 June 2006 (UTC)
- Is it possible to delete Ambroise Vollard, then — via a move operation — shift Ambrose Vollard to Ambroise Vollard? The idea is to retain the history of the document, which was originally located at Ambrose Vollard... --Folajimi 00:08, 2 June 2006 (UTC)

George Wallace from Judytan
Hi Longhair, My article is about GEORGE WALLACE not a Gordon Wallace, but thanks for pasting my info back to me. How do I now post it on Wikipedia properly? This is my second article and I had no problem with the first one so I dont know what I was thinking with this one. I need the article to go under headings such as Australian People, subs, Australian comedians etc but how to do this from here? Can you help me with this please> Yours in dumbness Judy Tanner — Preceding unsigned comment added by Judytan (talk • contribs)
From Da almighty bunghole (logged out)
thank you for notifying me that my username was innapropriate. i will make arangements to change it as soon as possible.
George Wallace Australian Comedian
Thankyou for helping me with this article Longhair. Can I also ask you about another article I wrote on Australian cartoonist Les Tanner. I noticed when I went back to it today that it looks as though it needs some editing where I mention that Les Tanner won a life time achievement award for services to the arts in 1999. Finally I want to add a few more articles and would like directions on how to create a page Thanks again Judy Tanner
Pat Frank
I thought I'd point out that Pat Frank is not a user page. Thus, your post to Talk:Pat Frank is, well, inappropriate, I guess (though not in the meaning of "offensive"). Just a heads up. --OneSeventeen 03:57, 3 June 2006 (UTC)
Sig needed.
I would greatly appreciate it if you could help me make a really fancy-schmancy sig while you're at it! --Folajimi 22:36, 3 June 2006 (UTC) <- I remembered this time! :P
- Here are some that I like, which were used by others on my talk page:
- Hopefully, these avoid being obnoxious... --Folajimi 22:50, 3 June 2006 (UTC)
- I think I'll stick witk your initial proposal — an auto-sig script. --Folajimi 23:02, 3 June 2006 (UTC)
Frank Costa
Did you know that he was involved in a brouhaha earlier this year? It apparently involved political contributions which were under the table. --Folajimi 00:45, 4 June 2006 (UTC)
- Can you show me how to include the symbol for the Aussie dollar in articles? --Folajimi 00:46, 4 June 2006 (UTC)
- I'll just stick with the nebulous '$' symbol. If anyone's confuzzled, tough cookies! :P --Folajimi 00:51, 4 June 2006 (UTC)
- Is it just me, or is this page broken? This site has some great stories; too bad I can only view them via the cache provided by Google...
- "Our local media hasn't learned yet about internet archiving."
- I'll just stick with the nebulous '$' symbol. If anyone's confuzzled, tough cookies! :P --Folajimi 00:51, 4 June 2006 (UTC)
- Why did you have to put them out like that? You didn't need to put them out there like that! That is so wrong. :P *snickering* --Folajimi 01:02, 4 June 2006 (UTC)
I think it's fair to say that this entry has exceeded stub status, don't you think? --Folajimi 02:48, 4 June 2006 (UTC)
- Figures. Blast those two-bit, no-account, gestapo-wannabes!! Oh well. There's one in every crowd... --Folajimi 02:53, 4 June 2006 (UTC)
- To answer your other question, I live in the U.S. --Folajimi 02:55, 4 June 2006 (UTC)
- Do you know if "Australian Sports Medal" might be known by another name? It's currently a redlink in the entry. As is Point Richards... --Folajimi 03:01, 4 June 2006 (UTC)
- Try this to see if it helps... Folajimi

Opinion
Hello Longhair. Can I have an opinion at WP:ANI regarding a proclamation of sockpuppetry en masse? Thanks. Blnguyen | Have your say!!! 07:48, 6 June 2006 (UTC)
- It's under the "What do you suggest I do" heading in my talk. PS2pcGAMER, another admin has forum access and verified the authenticity. Later in the thread there is an admission as to the WP identity of forum user "Fenriswolf". Ambi thinks indef pending review, incidentally.Blnguyen | Have your say!!! 07:58, 6 June 2006 (UTC)
- Thanks for having a look. I talked to Raul about it on email in vague terms, and he said that arbcom takes a "dim view" of such announcements. Later in the thread, "Fenriswolf" is confronted about the editlist of User:PatCheng stalking and editwarring and "Fenriswolf" doesn't deny he is the PatCheng who is battling against the other user.Blnguyen | Have your say!!! 08:12, 6 June 2006 (UTC)
- So I shouldn't block? the arbcom would take a very dim view of anyone who made such statements.Blnguyen | Have your say!!! 08:16, 6 June 2006 (UTC)
- "Fenriswolf" is the username of the proclaimed sockpuppeteer on GameFAQs. He is later confronted down the thread as to whether he edits as PatCheng and he agrees with battling on WP.Blnguyen | Have your say!!! 08:36, 6 June 2006 (UTC)
- Here is the additional extract provided by PS2pcGAMER. "Fenriswolf" seems rather proud when confronted about whether he is PatCheng. Blnguyen | Have your say!!! 08:44, 6 June 2006 (UTC)
YINever | Posted 6/5/2006 6:32:41 PM | message detail Oh as for what this is about, Fenriswolf took up stalking me at Wikipedia late last year and has stuck to it up to the minute.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/PatCheng
His contribution history is a complete shadow of mine whenever I am active. It mostly consists of watering down information critical of communists and adding polemics to those which reflect poorly on China.
http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Military_budget_of_the_People%27s_Republic_of_China&diff=prev&oldid=57098949 http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=George_Bernard_Shaw&diff=prev&oldid=57098277
As for why, I don't really try to guess the pathologies of online stalkers, but he seems to have imagined some comment of mine about his fascist father. Poor guy.

So you're admitting it huh?
- I am PatCheng and I beg to differ. Looking at Fenriswolf's profile, his account was created in 11/3/2002 5:39:52 PM, whereas I did not come across Gamefaqs until early 2005. IIRC, this "fascist" claim derives from a bad flame-war on the War on Terror board, where a China-related topic degenerated into a flame war between TJive and several pro-Chinese users. When merits of China in WWII was bought up, someone said that said that many of them has grandfathers who fought the Japanese, TJive claimed some along the lines "China fought fascism, only to become a fascist country". I naturally take offence at this comment as soon as I have heard it. I don't know about the claims of Fenriswolf, but I only have one computer, and do not the time or resources of "100's of IPs" to evade 3RR.--PatCheng 13:26, 6 June 2006 (UTC)
Hello Longhair, what are you thinking? Snottygobble also appears unimpressed. "Fenriswolf" now claims to have hacked into User:PatCheng and also RevolverOcelotX, who have been team-reverting many articles. I think that the two accounts are severely compromised to say the least. Blnguyen | Have your say!!! 01:55, 7 June 2006 (UTC)
- Blnguyen, your accusations are false and not true. Your accusations of me being a sockpuppet of PatCheng has been has been proven false by this CheckUser. Check my contributions, I haven't been team-reverting any articles ever since I was blocked for 3RR on Mao: The Unknown Story. --RevolverOcelotX 03:09, 7 June 2006 (UTC)
- I did say have been, didn't I?Blnguyen | Have your say!!! 03:12, 7 June 2006 (UTC)
- But you make false claims that my account is "severely compromised" without any hard evidence of this. There is no link between my account and PatCheng as shown by the CheckUser. --RevolverOcelotX 03:45, 7 June 2006 (UTC)
I have stuck a block pending further investigation. This is due to a closer examination of the user's history. This user has made serious repeated racist insults at Japanese, called for the death of Jung Chang (I don't think WP is a soapbox for inciting hatred) and has sworn and insulted other users many times - I have posted to WP:ANI. There was more claims on GameFAQs that he isn't PatCheng but only hacked into his account. I think the conduct has gone beyond the stage where "wiki-bail" should be afforrded.Blnguyen | Have your say!!! 04:22, 7 June 2006 (UTC)
Hi. Could you delete a redirect page which is now at Gediminas because that place is needed for the article of that ruler. His successors and predecessors are under their simple first names, therefore this one hops to the eye when looking at. Lists, categories, so forth. This is to better achieve consistency. I moved the earlier (edit-history-containing) page to another location, and now the page at the desired spot is a simple historyless redirect. Maed 21:03, 6 June 2006 (UTC)
More categorization
Cringe humor, please. I'm actually thinking of making more topics like this and linking them somehow, through a category. - Richardcavell 03:29, 7 June 2006 (UTC)
Incorrect placement for username template on user pages (not user talk pages)
I have removed some of the username templates on user pages, but retained them to their talk pages. If it has something offensive, like TestAccountSucks, I place the {{indef-user}} template because other admins place the {{username}} on the talk page. It's nothing serious, but I fixed it. It's not vandalism or anything bad, I'm actually helping Wikipedia in a minor error one caused. If you feel that I'm doing anything wrong, talk to me about it on my talk page.

Re: Quick legal question
AUSTLII doesn't hold information on cases pre-1997 online for the VSC or VSCA. I'm wondering where I'm able to find information relating to several cases of murder that occured during the 80's and perhaps before. I was thinking the State Library may be able to help, or is there another database I'm not aware of online? Hoping your legal mind can assist. Thanks. -- Longhair 02:30, 8 June 2006 (UTC)
- Lexis Nexis would have it, but that is a subscriber service. Xtra 02:50, 8 June 2006 (UTC)
- If the cases were unreported you might be able to get them from the Supreme Court Library website, which has PDFs of unreported cases since about the 1950s. If the cases were reported (in the Victorian Reports) then you'll have to go to the hard copies (at the State Library, or at university libraries, or in the Supreme Court's library by appointment). They're available online but only through the subscriber services (Lexis Nexis, as Xtra said). Some public libraries do subscribe to them, at least the State Library does.
- On the other hand if you know the name of the case I can probably get the judgment and email it to you, although I'm not really supposed to do that because of copyright reasons. --bainer (talk) 03:01, 8 June 2006 (UTC)

When using template tags on talk pages, don't forget to substitute with text by adding subst: to the template tag. For example, use {{subst:test}} instead of {{test}}. This reduces server load and prevents accidental blanking of the template. Benon 09:18, 8 June 2006 (UTC)
Aww...
I had to make a complaint on this user's talkpage but that user removed it without my consent, and calims to reseavre the right to do so, and claims the same of any established user (I never do so on my talkpage unless it is clearly vandalism). Just becuase of that right doesn't mean that it is civil to do so, why didn't they just respond to it. Myrtone@Longhair.com.au:-(
- PS I have just left a reminder on my userpage, because Tony has been nasty to me, blocking me for an apparantly crass reason, "taking the piss." He also called my response "dumb insolece" which uncivil and nasty. I have also removed his personal attack but Doco coudn't understand and restored it.
Tom Price.
It turns out that there is more than one Aussie who is named Thomas Price; and they happen to be notable. Who's on first? :P Folajimi 00:41, 9 June 2006 (UTC)
- I'm not sure. I'd say they'd take equal par with disambigutation, if the other is by chance the reason for naming of the town, Tom Price, Western Australia? -- Longhair 00:44, 9 June 2006 (UTC)
- I had no idea about the American. I was referring to Thomas Caradoc Rose Price and, of course, the premier. I didn't even know that it was a town! Unbelievable! :P --Folajimi 00:51, 9 June 2006 (UTC)
Orphaned fair use image (Image:BangkokHiltonDVD.JPG)
Thanks for uploading Image:BangkokHiltonDVD.JPG. I notice the 'image' page currently specifies that your image can be used under a fair use license. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If your image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why your image was deleted. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful.
If you have uploaded other fair use media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any fair use images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Yamla 13:56, 9 June 2006 (UTC)

WM query.
I see your meter just went down a notch. Who's got your goat??? --Folajimi 23:02, 9 June 2006 (UTC)
- Thanks for catching the needed cat! I've got red-eye from working on that article for the last two hours. :P --Folajimi 01:54, 10 June 2006 (UTC)

True or False: Mayor of Geelong == Mayor of Geelong West == Mayor of West Geelong ? I'm confused. --Folajimi 12:50, 10 June 2006 (UTC)
- I'm going to brute force the list then; anyone who's ever been a mayor of ANY Geelong is going on the list! :E --Folajimi 00:24, 11 June 2006 (UTC)
T/F: Geelong == South Melbourne? --Folajimi 14:39, 13 June 2006 (UTC)
CoCat
Hey Longhair, I noticed you do a lot of work with categories, maybe you will find this tool useful: CoCat. I myself only become aware of it today. cheers, pfctdayelise (translate?) 02:34, 13 June 2006 (UTC)
Geelong Cats player articles
You might find this site useful for looking up career games and goals for Geelong players. I certainly have. Cheers, Reyk YO! 07:06, 13 June 2006 (UTC)
My RFA
Longhair, thank you very much for your support in my recent Request for adminship, it passed with a final tally of (65/3/3) - which I find both amazing and humbling. I wish I had time to thank everyone personally, but I'm afraid all I can offer is this token of my gratitude. I hope to live up to your expectations/hopes. If at any stage you need to contact me, for help or a request or to point out a mistake in my conduct, please make sure to tell me on my talk page. --Fir0002 08:19, 13 June 2006 (UTC) |
Images
I have updated some photos for Wikiproject Geelong of Geelong Station. Market Square and Westfield Bay City. I will try to get more of St. John of God Hospital etc. at a later time. --themit 10:33, 13 June 2006 (UTC)
[[Category:Comedy by genre]]
Hi,
I've been creating the articles:
I'd also add
And I might create
- Political comedy
- others
It might be necessary to move some of these pages so that the final word matches up (comedian/comedy/humor). I'd suggest the word 'comedy' would be the best final target.
What do you reckon? - Richardcavell 05:41, 15 June 2006 (UTC)

Welcome back
Hey! I never even knew you came back from wikibreak! --Folajimi 00:24, 21 June 2006 (UTC)
- No rest for the weary, I guess! :) --Folajimi 01:49, 21 June 2006 (UTC)
Meghalaya Article
Hey! Longhair. For some unknown reason, the Meghalaya article has become inaccessible. Everytime I try to access the article, I get the message, "Unknown file type". Can you help please? RMehra 07:47, 21 June 2006 (UTC)
- Hi Longhair! Thank you very much for your attention. The problem seems to have gone away for now. Your help is much appreciated. RMehra 16:48, 21 June 2006 (UTC)
Max Stuart
Hi, I am feeling a little tense at recent edits to the Max Stuart article. I have raised my concerns with the editor (User_talk:Beneaththelandslide#Max_Stuart) and on the article's talk page. I need to walk away but would appreciate if you could have a look. Thanks--A Y Arktos\talk 09:10, 21 June 2006 (UTC)
- Hi it has been removed from GA status. I am well aware I don't own articles, but I feel Beneaththelandslide overstepped the mark with being bold. Despite being invited to discuss changes on the talk page and having specific flaws pointed out to him, he is just not responding as I would hope, ie with at the very least further edits to at least (fully)copyedit his contributions. --A Y Arktos\talk 19:58, 21 June 2006 (UTC)
- Thanks - there are of course no deadlines associated with this :-)--A Y Arktos\talk 20:05, 21 June 2006 (UTC)
- More copyediting needs to be done but he has done some--A Y Arktos\talk 20:08, 21 June 2006 (UTC)
- Thanks - there are of course no deadlines associated with this :-)--A Y Arktos\talk 20:05, 21 June 2006 (UTC)
Mayors.
Do you know if the list of mayors is accurate as it currently exists? --Folajimi 17:41, 21 June 2006 (UTC)
- It is but one of the items on my to-do list anyway. --Folajimi 17:54, 21 June 2006 (UTC)
Image:Ehedaya juneau birdeye.jpg
I haven't logged in for a while now, but I noticed you deleted the image I uploaded. I took it myself on vacation last August. Is there any way to revert the image so I don't have to go through the upload process again?
Joliet Prison photo?
Given the current policies, the only way you can get a picture on here without the wiki-nannies yelling at you is to go take it yourself. Wahkeenah 02:10, 22 June 2006 (UTC)
Geelong photos
Can you think of any Geelong-related articles that might need images but aren't tagged accordingly? I've got a lot of time on my hands at the moment, so I'm thinking of taking the family digital camera for a day and going on a photo spree in Geelong. (I also saw Folajimi's talk page - you leaving Geelong?) Rebecca 22:28, 22 June 2006 (UTC)
- Sweet. I've watchlisted the page, so if you think of any more, please add them there. (Lara might be a bit hard to get to, though - I'm on the other side of town). :)
- I'm on IRC now - you still around? Rebecca 23:04, 22 June 2006 (UTC)
Re: Lorne, Victoria images
Glad to be of service! My wife and I enjoyed a stay in Lorne, Victoria while on holiday in 2002. I have been meaning to scan in and add the photos to the article since I re-wrote it in March 2005, but your request served as the final kick in the pants I needed. :-) -- Kralizec! (talk) 22:23, 22 June 2006 (UTC)
- Just so you know, I replaced all three of the images I uploaded yesterday (including Apollo Bay, Victoria) with correctly-named, colour-corrected, compressed versions and nominated the originals for speedy deletion. --Kralizec! (talk) 17:04, 23 June 2006 (UTC)
2nd opinion
Hey Longhair I need a second opinion. I just blocked User:ShitBob 28 for obvious reasons; only 2 edits, both were speedied (last 2 items in my deletion log). Do you think those were joke edits or newbie mistakes, ie. should the IP be unblocked? CanadianCaesar Et tu, Brute? 06:46, 23 June 2006 (UTC)
- What do you mean? I blocked it indefinitely. CanadianCaesar Et tu, Brute? 06:48, 23 June 2006 (UTC)
- Usually not. I've seen exceptions. I do block inappropriate usernames, but usually, yeah, they're not worth even unblocking the IP. CanadianCaesar Et tu, Brute? 06:53, 23 June 2006 (UTC)
- Oh, I see where the confusion came from. What I meant was that I blocked him because of the username, not because his only contributions were speedied. Sorry. CanadianCaesar Et tu, Brute? 07:06, 23 June 2006 (UTC)

Thanks
Hi Longhair,
Thanks for your mail on computer repairs. I haven't started reading it yet (still trying to figure out how to but i'll get there). Once I become more acquainted with the controls in wiki, i'll produce some pages more efficiently and effectively.
thanks

I reverted Tifa Lockhart again, but it seems that 220.239.116.22 is continuing to change dates, etc. Unfortunately, I'm at work and have to go. I thought I would just bring it to someone's attention before I went. Thanks. SWAdair 08:56, 24 June 2006 (UTC)
