Hi Cameron, nice to see someone from regional Qld on the list.

My wish... Knock yourself out documenting Central Queensland. You could write for years and not scratch the surface. I just looked at Byfield National Park. :-( its a stub. I see you have done some work on Rocky and other Qld towns. Great! How about Yeppoon?

See ya round - Gaz 01:07, 18 Apr 2004 (UTC)

Nice to see another Australian around! In case you're interested, a bunch of us have got together at Wikipedia:Australian wikipedians' notice board, in order to try and fill in some of Wikipedia's holes in Australian content. I came across some of your articles earlier when I was looking for things that we might need to cover. Feel free to drop by sometime! Ambi 12:49, 25 Sep 2004 (UTC)

prime ministers of Finland

[edit]

Nice!

I guess you'll do the same for the presidents. They are much fewer, so that's much simplier! :-)) --Johan Magnus 09:24, 11 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Well done! /Tuomas 11:06, 12 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Article Licensing

[edit]

Hi, I've started a drive to get users to multi-license all of their contributions that they've made to either (1) all U.S. state, county, and city articles or (2) all articles, using the Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike (CC-by-sa) v1.0 and v2.0 Licenses or into the public domain if they prefer. The CC-by-sa license is a true free documentation license that is similar to Wikipedia's license, the GFDL, but it allows other projects, such as WikiTravel, to use our articles. Since you are among the top 1000 Wikipedians by edits, I was wondering if you would be willing to multi-license all of your contributions or at minimum those on the geographic articles. Over 90% of people asked have agreed. For More Information:

To allow us to track those users who muli-license their contributions, many users copy and paste the "{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}" template into their user page, but there are other options at Template messages/User namespace. The following examples could also copied and pasted into your user page:

Option 1
I agree to [[Wikipedia:Multi-licensing|multi-license]] all my contributions, with the exception of my user pages, as described below:
{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}

OR

Option 2
I agree to [[Wikipedia:Multi-licensing|multi-license]] all my contributions to any [[U.S. state]], county, or city article as described below:
{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}

Or if you wanted to place your work into the public domain, you could replace "{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}" with "{{MultiLicensePD}}". If you only prefer using the GFDL, I would like to know that too. Please let me know what you think at my talk page. It's important to know either way so no one keeps asking. -- Ram-Man (comment| talk)

This looks like a nasa shot, can you confirm that? — Zeimusu | Talk 02:11, 28 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Alliance Airways

[edit]

Hi. recently you added some material to an article about Alliance Airways. Unfortunately the article is a duplicate and the correct name of the airline is Alliance Airlines and there is already an article in that name. Could Alliance Airways be deleted?? Ardfern 23:22, 11 Mar 2005 (UTC)

lots of edits, not an admin

[edit]

Hi - I made a list of users who've been around long enough to have made lots of edits but aren't admins. If you're at all interested in becoming an admin, can you please add an '*' immediately before your name in this list? I've suggested folks nominating someone might want to puruse this list. Thanks. -- Rick Block (talk) 17:30, Jun 12, 2005 (UTC)

Ft.

[edit]

Hey, I noticed you modified a link (a long time ago!) at Las Olas Boulevard--you linked "Ft. Lauderdale" to Fort Lauderdale, Florida. Good job—but if you ever encounter Ft. again? Change it to Fort instead. Ft. is an overused abbreviation, never appropriate in Style guides except for extreme space constraints. Thanks! ℬastique▼talk 02:04, 27 Jun 2005 (UTC)


Years in Australia pages

[edit]

Hi - with your work on year pages you may be interested in Wikipedia:Australian_Wikipedians'_notice_board/19xx_in_Australia based on your work on 1961 and Wikipedia:Australian Wikipedians' notice board/19xx in Australia - missing years Regards--A Y Arktos 01:19, 15 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Please check your WP:NA entry

[edit]

Greetings, editor! Your name appears on Wikipedia:List of non-admins with high edit counts. If you have not done so lately, please take a look at that page and check your listing to be sure that following the particulars are correct:

  1. If you are an admin, please remove your name from the list.
  2. If you are currently interested in being considered for adminship, please be sure your name is in bold; if you are opposed to being considered for adminship, please cross out your name (but do not delete it, as it will automatically be re-added in the next page update).
  3. Please check to see if you are in the right category for classification by number of edits.

Thank you, and have a wiki wiki day! bd2412 T 04:16, 17 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

possible merge

[edit]

Cameron, do you know if Cumberland Islands and Whitsunday Islands should be merged, or link to each other and explain what the difference is? Thanks. --Scott Davis Talk 09:00, 8 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Australian Anniversaries

[edit]

Hi - because of your work on years in Australia, I wondered if you would be interested in Portal:Australia/Anniversaries? For more info on the project see Portal talk:Australia#PROPOSAL: anniversaries/ on this day section. It has started but isn't live yet because we don't really have enough items. I am keen to get more into June so it can start soon. Looking of about four events per day. Regards--A Y Arktos\talk 02:03, 29 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Australian ensign

[edit]

There's a problem with your addition of the RAN ensign to the list of WWII ships: the RAN didn't use it during the war. There was a brief discussion on the project page about this and the nem con view was that historically correct flags should be used. This affects other Commonwealth navies, although the RCN had a distinctive jack in WWII. If you wanna chat about this - see you on my talk page. Folks at 137 22:14, 17 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

British nuclear tests at Maralinga

[edit]

Hi Camerong,

I happened to notice that you're the original author of this page, and wrote much of the content. I'm currently going through the article to ensure that sources are cited throughout, and I wondered whether you might be able to locate your original sources? It'd be very helpful. Thanks, Jakew 21:21, 4 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

AfD nomination of List of ship launches in 1870

[edit]

I have nominated List of ship launches in 1870, an article that you created, for deletion.

Your opinions on the matter are welcome at that same discussion page; also, you are welcome to edit the article to address these concerns. Thank you for your time.
