Current obsessions: List of maritime features in the Spratly Islands

Current distractions: Trying VERY hard for it NOT to be either Oddfellows or Odd Fellows.

Good morning my friend. Your reaction is exactly what I did a few days ago as well. But as it turns out, it is correct as part of the Order of Australia Ordinances. There is however an active discussion on User:AusTerrapin's talk page. Nford24 (PE121 Personnel Request Form) 22:14, 2 February 2015 (UTC)

Australian MSM

Concerns: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:AUS_Meritorious_Service_Medal.png

Hi and sorry I did not respond earlier. I simply missed your message. The colours of the Australian MSM ribbon were based on the Medal Yearbook (can't remember the issue right now - I will check and will let you know) and on the webpage http://www.mhsa.org.au/QldBranch.html, where Keith Payne's medals are depicted. The stripes on his MSM ribbon are definitely green, although in a very dark shade. I will say that the stripes on the Australian War Memorial web page also come out dark green, at least on my screen.

What regards the year 1985, I first thought I had just mistyped the year, but then I looked back at the picture page and could not find the year anywhere on it. Where did you find it?

Best regards LukGasz (talk) 15:44, 8 February 2015 (UTC)

PS: I like very much your Wiki page about the Australian MSM.

Howdy. Thanks for responding. Yes, despite the "darkness" of various renditions, the stripes are indeed green.

With regards to the year:

• The AWM site (wrongly) states 1985 at http://www.awm.gov.au/collection/REL36101/?image=1#display-image
• "It's an Honour" at http://www.itsanhonour.gov.au/honours/awards/imperial.cfm#msm_0275 gives one more confidence that 1975 is the "magic year".

Cheers, and glad you like the Oz MSM page, Pdfpdf (talk) 15:01, 9 February 2015 (UTC)

propose merge from Adelaide–Crafers Highway to South Eastern Freeway

As a past editor of at least one of the articles, you may wish to comment at Talk:South Eastern Freeway#2015 Merge proposal for a new proposal to merge these two articles as it appears the government now considers it to be all one road. As there will be quite a bit of work, I decided to consult before being bold. --Scott Davis ^Talk 22:27, 1 April 2015 (UTC)

George Morphett

Good morning pdf; Hope you're OK and not too busy to do a little editing. I started to compile a bit on George Morphett before I discovered you had done quite a lot of research on the guy. I'll leave it as a stub, but if you could put some flesh on the bones I'd be mightily pleased. Best regards, Doug butler (talk) 01:14, 9 April 2015 (UTC)
