OH dear

I am not a fan of any templates at the best of time (lies damned lies most of them - try some of the asia templates - a big bunch of red links - a loathsome sight for first things in the morning) - you offer that and do not even mention the southern ocean - where have you been all theses years? Edit wars par excellence from pedantic dead heads over what and where the southern ocean is and isnt - geographically challenged idiots one and all Satu Suro 01:53, 30 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

You are now a Reviewer

Hello. Your account has been granted the "reviewer" userright, allowing you to review other users' edits on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged protection, is currently undergoing a two-month trial scheduled to end 15 August 2010.

Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under pending changes. Pending changes is applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial. The list of articles with pending changes awaiting review is located at Special:OldReviewedPages.

When reviewing, edits should be accepted if they are not obvious vandalism or BLP violations, and not clearly problematic in light of the reason given for protection (see Wikipedia:Reviewing process). More detailed documentation and guidelines can be found here.

If you do not want this userright, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. Courcelles (talk) 18:30, 19 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

brisbane metro area/council area dilemmaDear shiftchange, sorry if i have been angry or condescending towards you at any point. i have always been very passionate about statistics and urban issues and such... caught in the moment... i have left a message at the bottom of the talk page regarding your last point i would be happy to help with any articles relating to the things discussed there. also it occured to me now that in the geog section, there is a big satellite image of the entire brisbane metro area (basically, the grey built up looking stuff is whats counted by te ABS) and i hope you read my point about how most of the areas of those councils with rural, detatched sections, like the scenic rim, are not counted by the ABS (only small parts) same goes for pasts of ipswich, moreton, logan etc anyway thanks. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 211.31.63.196 (talk) 07:05, 20 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]Eastern Busway merge

many thanks for your work on Cross River Railas the creator of the article, I'd like to extend a hearty 'Cheers' to you for fleshing it out, and adding all that goodyfullness. -smileyface- Noofnoof (talk) 12:23, 20 November 2010 (UTC)[reply] Yeah, I really hope it goes ahead. I can't imagine in 20 years my kids will say "how did people live before the CLEM7?" but I can imagine "how did you get into the city centre before CRR?" keep up the good work.
