Straw poll for selecting photos of cyclists at the 2009 Tour Down Under

Photos were taken at the team parade at the start of the 2009 Tour Down Under, January 18, 2008.

They were all very gentlemanly. Very dignified and genial. So were the crowd. Apart from the middle-aged man who stood net to the YellowMonkey and intentionally jabbed him in the ribs for about an hour. YellowMonkey (bananabucket) 04:48, 20 January 2009 (UTC)

The crowd favourites, judged by the decibel level of the applause, were in no particular order, Armstrong, Hincapie, Pereiro, Greipel, Voigt, O'Grady, Michael Rogers, McEwen, Baden Cooke, Bobridge (local boy). YellowMonkey (bananabucket) 04:59, 20 January 2009 (UTC)

Hi Yellow, did you get my mail about the socking on English Qaballa and related articles? It's our mate back again. He was blocked on the IP range 209 something something, now his IP must've changed by a few didgits but it's clearly the same IP/person, just a permutation of it. There are some others of his I think, and also some of indef'ed User:EdwardLeeFrampton, clearly him as he was only here to praise a particular book, and these IPs are doing the same. Then User:QuaBobAllah or however it's spelt, aka Ekajati, reverts him, which is what he was doing, and pushes the particular POV he favours. Some of the IPs of course are coming from the same city from which we know he edits sometimes/resides. Sticky Parkin 14:49, 10 January 2009 (UTC)

Bill Johnston (cricketer)

Hi, we've met before, I'm the guy sweeping the sportsperson GAs and we spoke about several articles sometime back. I've come to the above article (which I meant to do earlier, sorry) which I had flagged as a probable pass and have found it scattered with arbitrary tags: is there a reason for this and are you able to deal with them? (i.e. delete the uneccessary ones and fill those that need filling). Apart from that, the article's only problem is an untidy "Life after cricket" section, which needs forming into one or two sensible paragraphs and then it will be good enough to pass GA again. Thanks--Jackyd101 (talk) 00:28, 16 January 2009 (UTC)

Coming. I put it there to remind myself and forgot. YellowMonkey (bananabucket) 01:39, 19 January 2009 (UTC)

Hi

Hi yellow monkey, i just want to tell you a tip that can you arrange your archieves on your talk page to be more arranged? I can't read it well. Cheers! C H J L 09:10, 16 January 2009 (UTC)

Feel free to just intervent and do whatever it is that makes it more legible for you. YellowMonkey (bananabucket) 01:39, 19 January 2009 (UTC)

Barnstar #1

The Surreal Barnstar
For having ten DYK's in one hook which is a new record in Misplaced Pages, I award you this Barnstar. Chris (talk) 21:35, 18 January 2009 (UTC)


It's certainly a record, but I count 11. He hasn't been credited for Johnson... Lampman (talk) 22:13, 18 January 2009 (UTC)

Barnstar #2

The Running Man Barnstar
For your work on Australian cricket articles. All I can say is WOW. Chris (talk) 21:35, 18 January 2009 (UTC)

Thankyou, kind sir, it actually didn't take as long as it would because of the overlap in the topics, but a month of Misplaced Pages nevertheless. YellowMonkey (bananabucket) 01:39, 19 January 2009 (UTC)

Tour Down Under

Were you there yesterday? I snapped them all! YellowMonkey (bananabucket) 01:44, 19 January 2009 (UTC)

Well done! When you have them loaded up, please send me the link. Which location(s) were you at?
No, I wasn't there - I was busy being domestic, clearing gutters and putting in fireproof metal gutter-guard. (The plastic stuff is much easier to work with, but not very useful in a fire - it makes me wonder about plastic rainwater tanks ... )
BTW: 2009 Tour Down Under only mentions 20-25 Jan - perhaps you may wish to add a "pre-event" section?
Cheers, Pdfpdf (talk) 01:59, 19 January 2009 (UTC)
At Rymill Park. They got all the teams to line up on stage and that made it relatively easy although the blazing sun and the sunshade made an odd effect where their faces were relatively dark and their torsos and jerseys were glary so that was quite annoying. The race proper starts tomorrow. This was like the prologue and didn't count for anything. I take it you like in the hills where there is a fire danger? Take care for you and your family. I can't say I was in much danger yesterday, except the middle-aged man standing next to me in the second row wanted more than 30 cm radius of room (which nobody had, I had a news cameraman perching his stuff on my head at one point) and he kept on sticking out his elbows and jabbing me in the ribs trying to be get rid of me and mumbling his displeasure.

I'm ashamed to admit I didn't even think of going - I should have. :) I'll need to remember to try and attend big events too, and grab what photos I can. But yours look great. :) - Bilby (talk) 07:03, 20 January 2009 (UTC)
By-the-way: How/when did you wrap up the previous poll, what was/were the result(s), and how did you / are you going to use the results? Cheers, Pdfpdf (talk) 08:54, 20 January 2009 (UTC)

re: Dispute

Hi YellowMonkey. I have partially replied to your query here, but I'll add some occurences of our disputes here. Talk:Francis Hassett/References is the example I was referring to when he was adding OR medals and references that violated WP:VER, and it ended up quite heated. Another (Talk:Neville Howse) where I disputed the entitlement to a medal, he disputed it (angrily) and it ended up that I was right (after another heated debate). Another calling me wrong about a person not being entitled to a certain medal when it turned out I was right there also. These are only a few examples I can think of, and I'm not here to say that "it's all his fault, here's the proof", just give you some examples that we have had a few arguments in the past. I know that in a few instances (Hassett's for example) I have not behaved well, but I'm just sick of it all and having a lot of my edits questioned. The main reason, also, that I was ticked off over the VC see also thing was that it was like I had just told a child who was doing the wrong thing (I'm not calling Anotherclown a child, of course, just the comparision works here) that he was in fact doing wrong, and then Pdf coming along and saying to the child keep doing it. Abraham, B.S. (talk) 05:49, 19 January 2009 (UTC)

Hey

For sure, I will have a look through! Not sure if Notorious is out yet in Australia, but if you are bored, go and see it; it'll explain my not-so-subtle nickname for you. Hope things are well dude -- Samir 05:12, 20 January 2009 (UTC)

You

I still feel immensely beholden to you for tracking down the sock puppets that had been after me for seven months (Starwood arbitration, to refresh your memory). I would do more in copy editing your articles if cricket were not so over my head. I know you are a wonderful wikiperson. And, I want to thank you again for what you did for me, though I'm sure that was not your motivation. I think it was you, who made the sardonic remarks in relation to one of the sockpuppets who had claimed to be a waitress in Dublin, but was now suddenly in a car traveling to Austin, Texas, sharing a laptop with another sockpuppet, as an explanation for the overlapping edits. Thank you again. Regards, —Mattisse (Talk) 05:23, 20 January 2009 (UTC)

pics

Hey, I noticed your invitation to vote on some talkpage somewhere and decided to crash. Wonder how it feels to have a perpetual orange bar at the top of your pages. Do you have any pics of the better sex? Voting on dudes is less titillating, and I come to WP to get titillated :-) --brewcrewer (yada, yada) 04:31, 21 January 2009 (UTC)

Re: GAN

Oops, I forgot to reply to you to thank you for pointing out the problem which you saw in the articles. :) I am not really fussed if they pass GAN or not, but I figured if they're already close to that level they may as well get the right rating. And if they're not, then, meh, I did my best on them. - Mark 04:29, 21 January 2009 (UTC)

Re: Ron Halcombe

I'll get to reviewing it tomorrow. I signed up for several at the same time, which was probably dumb since it slowed me down. since the article's not too lengthy it shouldn't take too much time (the other one I'm reviewing is 100kb+). Wizardman 05:37, 21 January 2009 (UTC)

Military career of Keith Miller

Hello, have you noticed that the Australian War Memorial's online collection database has about a dozen good quality PD photos of Keith Miller playing with the RAAF team in 1945? Nick-D (talk) 07:10, 21 January 2009 (UTC)

Islamic Inventions

Hello. Sorry, saw your entry on my talk page just now. Do not know about any other articles such as these two, but I have seen that user now for over a year copying and pasting badly researched and consistently one-sided material in all kinds of articles. He has over 40,000 edits, so you know...I think his consistent misquotation and overinterpretation of sources has brought POV to a new level in Misplaced Pages, because people tend to believe in assertions more if thez are backed up by a footnote. They are less prone to assume that the information is taken out of context or subtly modified to suit fix preconceptions. Thats why it has been so hard to come this new method. It needs hundreds of footnotes to be checked and most third party observers do not have the time, nor the interest to completely rewrite articles which were written wrongly from the scratch. A case in point is Talk:Inventions of the Islamic Golden Age. The net result is that, while many believe the article to be POV and have tried to improve it, many dubious assertions are still there and spread their message.

PS: Just checked again Timeline of historic inventions. It is hard to find a single uncontested invention there. Too many lists just lack information to the contrary. Regards Gun Powder Ma (talk) 12:04, 21 January 2009 (UTC)
