Yes, welcome to the 'pedia. Your interest in Newtown is explained by your resume. Arno 07:58 10 Jun 2003 (UTC)
Thanks both. Yep, I wanted to fill out Newtown and surrounds with some info. I might take some pictures of Newtown, Sydney Uni and Pyrmont for upload. What's the feeling on promiscuously adding images to articles? -- Tarka
- No policy restricting pictures on this site exists that I am aware of, aside from ensuring that there are no copyright problems - which does not seem to apply here.
- My own feeling is that one should not to go overboard with images - as they can be distracting to an article. Arno 11:32 13 Jun 2003 (UTC)
- Yep, my thoughts are to pick one good image that 'captures' Newtown on the page, and then stick any other good ones on an 'Images of Newtown' page. Tarka 03:43 14 Jun 2003 (UTC)
G'day Tarka. Do you have any idea how many crest images there are in Wikipedia? See Wikipedia:Image use policy under "image titles".-- Tim Starling 07:45 17 Jun 2003 (UTC)
I forgot to say: there's no way to rename an image, so you've just got to re-upload it and list the old one on Wikipedia:Votes for deletion. -- Tim Starling 07:49 17 Jun 2003 (UTC)
Thanks Do you want me to delete the original, while I'm hanging around? -- Tim Starling
I've stuck it on the deletion page, although if you could check I've done it the right way that would be appreciated; I think I made a hash of it :) -- Tarka
PS. Thanks for the help Tim, I'm still finding my way around things. -- Tarka 08:09 17 Jun 2003 (UTC)
- No problem, it's all fixed now. I hope I don't get accused of blatant abuse of sysop rights :) Did you see what happened with Zoe recently when she didn't wait a week? Anyway, it's time for me to go home and have dinner. CYA. -- Tim Starling 08:21 17 Jun 2003 (UTC)
- All-right for some; I just got back from a military range in the Mornington peninsula. Nice weather you're having down there :) But I start at Sydney University next week; it'll be a nice change of pace.
- What's the story with Zoe anyway, she seems to wind everyone up? Tarka 03:59 20 Jun 2003 (UTC)
- No, others excel at that. Some of these have been banned, others ought to be. Arno 05:03 22 Jun 2003 (UTC)
- Actually, one such banned user seems to have scared Zoe away by a series of off-color edits to user pages. Arno 07:49 24 Jun 2003 (UTC)
Tarka, what do you think about Cecropia's nominations for adminship? Get-back-world-respect 14:02, 1 Apr 2004 (UTC)
