Graphing Program
[edit]I noticed that you created some of the images of graphs in a few wikipedia articles like the one of a Quintic equation. What program, if any, do you use to create this and how could I acquire it? Thanks. --Madmexican 16:19, 2 December 2006 (UTC)

contract
[edit]Hello Enoch, I noticed that you went to Fort Street - but surely the stuff on the contract page deserves better than Mr Millward's legal studies class?! (although maybe he wasn't still there by your time. I couldn't spot what year you were in in the Fortian (mistitled Fortain in 1999)) It'd be good, esp. if you're doing your law degree, to see some more references from you, because I'm sure you have a lot of knowledge to bring. I was going to go to the Phillip st. library today as it happened. Maybe I'd bump into you, unless you're at home reverting all the hard work I've done! User:Wikidea
- (replying to my talk page) Well, what do you think? I'm happy to if you want. My number's +6142903072. As I said, hopefully I'm going to come into your library today. The thing is, there's no perfect way to structure a page; but some structure is better than none, and all I was really doing is taking stuff out of one of the better books! Which do you get in first year? (I can't remember how the Usyd course works exactly, the friends that I had on it all finished a while ago!) We got ones by Ewan McKendrick, Patrick Atiyah and Jill Poole - but I imagine a lot of it is the same (well, up to 1986 I think). It's slightly annoying though when there's no reason for reverting a change, except that it's a change; and that there's no references. But maybe I'm too bookish.

- Hi again Enoch - sorry, didn't notice your last message. Sometimes it comes up with 'new messages' and then sometimes, it doesn't. I don't quite get it yet. Do just give me a call, or text, if you want to meet up - I didn't make it too your library, because I found the state library first, and that seemed to have a few good books! But I might go in a few weeks, because there's a particular book on banking law that I'm after. See you later!Wikidea 07:28, 8 December 2006 (UTC)
Dear User:Enochlau, while I do want this matter settled, it would appear that with User:Certified.Gangsta around, the matter would not be resolved anytime soon... Other that that, I am not sure as yet just what to do regarding this issue. Nic tan33 12:36, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
While I do see that the article has survived an AFD, it was created by a banned problem user (Cute 1 4 u) under a sockpuppet account created during her ban. I can see that these two issues conflict each other, but which is given more weight in the long run?—Řÿūłóñģ (竜龍) 02:29, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

Public transport: am I on a different planet?
[edit]I have only just discovered that on Wikipedia, railway stations are exempt from notability criteria, as are wharves and tram stops. I have articulated my objection to this double standard - Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Sydney/Railway stations - inamongst what I would consider a lot of positive work on research, design and writing in this area. The response has been chilly and emotional. Some of that is down to my liberal interpretation of "be bold", but I am getting the impression that other people own public transport pages - disheartening for a guy who still has a 1986/87 Urban Transit Authority annual report on his bookshelf. Seriously, every railway station gets a page? Joestella 15:06, 11 December 2006 (UTC)

- Do they? I'd like to see some of this research actually done. The world over, railway station stubs are clearly being based on passenger observations and rail operator ephemera. This abandonment of notability for one kind of thing is seriously weirding me out. Joestella 03:28, 12 December 2006 (UTC)
This one discusses burnout from precisely these sorts of debates; this one also touches upon similar themes, among others. It really isn't that surprising that if people have to keep defending their areas of interest against repeated deletion assaults that they're going to end up burning out.

primary sources vs reliable sources
[edit]hi. I notice you seem to favour going directly to the primary source (re: selective schools, train stations, hansard, and I am guessing, other things). WP:RS seems to view this as a bit too close to WP:OR - in that someone else should read / evaluate the primary source information and publish something, which can then be cited as a secondary source.
Wondering if you have anything different to suggest? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by GarrieIrons (talk • contribs) 04:28, 12 December 2006 (UTC).
Hello. I'm writing to request the article W2XAB be undeleted, since i've been working on a project regarding experimental television stations before 1950. if you are unable to, that's ifne, and i appreciate you reading this over. RaccoonFox • Talk • Stalk 21:27, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

Of course i would love to expand on it. I think the article has potential to be a reliable (even if it's short) article. :) RaccoonFox • Talk • Stalk 23:01, 12 December 2006 (UTC)
A quick request.
[edit]Hey. You don't know me, I don't know you, but I saw you were the one who posted the image for the 'arm' entry on wikipedia. I was wondering if you'd mind if I used the image for a business card. Would that be okay? I could send you a copy of the image if you want.
Thanks, and sorry if this does something horribly, horribly wrong. 66.133.212.167 04:34, 19 December 2006 (UTC)

Replying to the reply on my talk page: Thanks! I'm honestly not too sure if we'll end up using it, but I'm glad you don't mind. It's slightly edited, though. Here's the most edited it would end up being: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v203/yalborap/random%20pics/vagueconceptsorta.jpg
Just want to be sure you don't mind that. Yalborap 06:16, 19 December 2006 (UTC)

Hello Enochlau,
A number of weeks ago, you moved a page entitled Speed paintball to the disambiguation page Speedball, and Speedball to Speedball (disambiguation). Subsequently, Jarkka Saariluoma moved Speedball (the renamed Speed paintball article, rather) to Speedball (paintball), and Speedball (disambiguation) back to Speedball. The result is a terrible mess, and one that I most certainly am not equipped to untangle on my own. So, would you mind moving the current Speedball (paintball) article back to Speedball, per the discussion on that article's talk page and the previous move, and the current Speedball back to Speedball (disambiguation)? Thanks for your help. ~ Maximilli, 15:18, 21 December 2006 (UTC)

Repulse Bay apartment
[edit]Hello,
Would it be OK with you if I used the above-mentioned JPEG for a powerpoint presentation? There's a chance that this presentation may get published at some point in the future. I've cited "Enoch Lau" as being the source for the image. Please let me know if you need more information. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by WiSaHo (talk • contribs) 17:31, 27 December 2006 (UTC).

Sydney Buses Ticket Photo
[edit]Hi Enochlau - your Sydney buses ticket photo was recently removed from the Automated Fare Collection System page, and is now not on any page. I wouldn't be surprised if it's about to be notified for deletion as a copyright violation (even though it's not). JROBBO 00:34, 30 December 2006 (UTC)

I don't know what it is with Joestella and his desire to slash and burn articles. Enochlau, I am dumbfounded by the sort of personal abuse that those with an interest in public transport seem to think is appropriate on Wikipedia. As a leader in this community, you in particular should know better. You may benefit from reading WP:FAITH, however if this is not enough, I can assure you that I harbour no general desire to "slash and burn articles".
If my reasoning in making edits is ever unclear then that's a failing on my part—one that I'm always happy to redress on the article's talk page or my own. Joestella 15:14, 30 December 2006 (UTC)
Copyright problems with Image:TravelTen blue concession.jpg

- The Commons thing is my fault, not Joe's - he nominated it for speedy deletion, which is for obvious copyvios, not debatable ones like your photo clearly is. I changed over the template, but got distracted and didn't finish it. JROBBO 23:28, 31 December 2006 (UTC)
