Hi. I'm doing a major cleanup and improvement of these articles. Please give me time... - Richard Cavell (talk) 10:03, 6 July 2008 (UTC)

Incidentally, would you like to help me with them? I'm entering a phase where I have performed the major improvements that I wanted to achieve (grammar and spelling, markup, consistency, template, category, factual correctness, etc) and I'm now working on references and completeness. So I'm at a point where I need to ask for help so that I may gain consensus. - Richard Cavell (talk) 05:14, 8 July 2008 (UTC)

Australia's Surfing Life

G'day mate, My name's Chris Binns and I'm the Associate Editor of Australia's Surfing Life. We're not trying to be jokey in our entry, we are simply trying to explain exactly how the magazine runs. I'm not sure how you can say that listing the staff members is an attempt at humour so it'd be great of you can leave our entry be. If you need something more official I'm more than willing to quote myself, or editor Tim Fisher, or scan in a copy of the staff page from our most recent issue and post that online, but uh, that's a lot of effort for something so minor.

Hey Wongm, can I ask a question regarding the VL29 crash, what did really happen? I read the article on the VLocity Accidents section and I am still not exactly clear what happened, is it possible you could tell me?

Re: Loco articles

In cases where there were multiple steam locos with the same class letter, then using the date of introduction seems like a much better way to disambiguate them then calling them '1st' or '2nd' like what I did for Phoenix Foundry.

Another possible thing to do is split out the Rail_transport_in_Victoria#Locomotives section, and discuss how the Victorian Railways locomotives fleet evolved. Either a section in Victorian Railways or a new page like Victorian Railways locomotives or Victorian Railways rollingstock. Wongm (talk) 01:31, 6 August 2008 (UTC)

Greetings. I based my approach on the way the New Zealand Railways editors have handled the same issue (loco classifications involving a single letter which has been reused over the years), eg, NZR K class (1932) and NZR K class (1877). My thoughts when I first started creating these VR loco articles were that the 20th century steam loco would be the default, given that the Victorian Railways K class of 1922-1946 is well known and well documented, and the K class "buzzwinker" of the 1870s is not much more than a historical footnote. I thought that the diesel articles would just use the the EMD or similar model number, like the US articles (eg EMD SD40), but it looks like we went in another direction on that one.

I think an article on VR loco development would be an interesting one, and as you seem to have got your hands on a copy of Robert Lee's book you've certainly got some good source material for that! However, I'd suggest that such an article might be better written after more articles have been created about the locos themselves (I'm going to try and fill in all the 19th century ones where I can). I'd also say that articles on the loco designers could be of interest - eg A Smith, T Woodroffe, C Ahlston, etc, because they all had their own views/agendas that influenced their designs. Eg: look at any Smith loco in profile and note the symmetry in dome/boiler/driving wheel placement - it reflected the fact he was an accomplished artist when not designing locos. - Zzrbiker (talk) 11:14, 6 August 2008 (UTC)

Re: Transport in Australia

All the history of the content is at the actual title or the original cup, Transport in Australia. That page history merge was interesting because it was moved by cut and paste twice, so I can understand why it seems so bizarre. It's even worse when a page is moved by cut and paste three times, or you end up merging in the wrong revisions. Graham87 01:42, 7 August 2008 (UTC)

Geelong - The First 150 Years - Peter Begg

A few weeks back you mentioned this book and it's availability from the offices of the Geelong Advertiser (I may be wrong here, I've had a lot of conversations lately, they all seem to blend into one:)). I asked somebody in Geelong to grab myself a copy recently however the Addy staff knew nothing of the book whatsoever! Is the book still available locally, and if so, where can I grab myself a copy? I'd like one for my bookshelf and for the possible expansion of various Geelong-related articles. Cheers. -- Longhair\^talk 12:38, 18 August 2008 (UTC)

change to the line guide for Victorian Goldfields Railway

Hi there,

I think you've actually got the line guide wrong. the Maryborough/Maldon line approaches Castlemaine from the West, and the line from Melbourne approaches from the South. The revision to the line guide doesn't convey this.

Also, you seem to have Castlemaine appearing twice. I can't think why - the Maryborough line links to the Bendigo mainline on the Melbourne side of Castlemaine station.

While I know the line guide is not intended to represent a scale map, I think we should observe which side of the line various junctions approach from. I guess it's the equivalent of the Metlink map of Melbourne having the Sandringham line appear to the right of the Frankston line. - Zzrbiker (talk) 09:09, 23 September 2008 (UTC)

Slaps head - I took this photo showing the junction, but forgot all about it. I changed the diagram because I thought the Maryborough line was on the wrong side, but I misread the main line titles! Dunno of a better way to do it though? Wongm (talk) 09:34, 23 September 2008 (UTC)

I think creating a proper disambig page for George Bass was a good idea but I thought George Bass (explorer) was the primary topic, because he's the most well-known person with this name by far.

Graham87 02:25, 1 October 2008 (UTC)

I didn't quite think about that, the best way would be the way it is now, but I don't think manually altering hundreds of links is the best way to spend one's time, so what you propose is fine. Wongm (talk) 02:56, 1 October 2008 (UTC)

OK, all done. Graham87 07:00, 1 October 2008 (UTC)

Re: Photos

Yes well, the photo that was in place before I put mine there (at Warrnambool) was good because it came from a website. My photos have simply be taken, uploaded to the computer and then posted to Wikipedia. Though this is bias, I think that my photo is better (better shot and updated).

With Marshall, the photo was taken aroud 7:30PM because the train left Warrnambool just after 5:00. Because I could get off the train and spend quality time taking photos, the view wasn't the best (Terang and Marshall). Maybe when I go back their again I hopefully might be able to get better shots, I'm only young.

Well, I got a photo for Sherwood Park. That article didn't have a photo so I uploded that. Maybe next time I'll get a shot of the acutall station platform.

I was thinking that I might bump into you! (at Geelong)

Thank you for answering my question. See, I thought that facilities like Newport would be for employees only. Though I've seen photos around and inside the Workshops.

When you said 'get in touch with them directly' did you mean over the phone or going over there to speak to somebody, you weren't very clear on that. Also somebody showing you around? Like a tour guide? Sounds good. I might learn something from that.

You also mentioned something about an open day, when is that? Also is that for East or West block? You weren't very clear on that. I got a bit confused.

Physical lines

I'm really not sure it's a good idea to be labelling stations as belonging on lines named after places the line hasn't actually run in many years. Most people who look at the Moriac article and see that it's labelled as being on the Port Fairy line are going to go "what the hell? there's no railway to Port Fairy" and get mightily confused. Hell, it's even happened to me before - I remember when someone briefly moved the Mildura line to Yelta, and thinking "where in the hell is Yelta, and what on earth line is that referring to?". If I go to Vicrailwaystations (which has the same setup) looking for a particular station, I've often got no idea whatsoever which line I'm supposed to be looking under for that very reason. Isn't there a better way we could be doing this? Rebecca (talk) 08:40, 2 November 2008 (UTC)

I think the short answer to your question on the Australian noticeboard is: no, it is not at all encyclopedic! The almost complete lack of prose, only two references, so much OR and pointless trivia... Who cares that Andrew and Linda got a total score of 51 for the first two episodes of season 5? I'm tempted to go through and gut the whole article. Actually, more than just tempted; I think I'll go start doing that now. Somno (talk) 04:23, 15 November 2008 (UTC)

Weird templating

Do you know why your change to Template:Mildura Line lead to all these links to this template? I think it's just a small typo somewhere. -- Ricky81682 (talk) 02:54, 26 December 2008 (UTC)

See the discussion at Wikipedia_talk:Route_diagram_template#Weird_templating. Whatever it is, it seems to have been fixed, at least somewhat. -- Ricky81682 (talk) 20:47, 26 December 2008 (UTC)
