Hello!

Leave a message please.

Welcome

OK to above!

Great work on the gold mines list mate. It'd be great if you could pitch in and help expand some of the major mine articles also. Good to have you on-board and sing out if you need a hand or advice. –Moondyne 00:31, 4 August 2009 (UTC)

Do you know anything about this? I don't, but always wondered if this article was neutral or if it was promoting a certain point of view. –Moondyne 05:48, 4 August 2009 (UTC)

Boddington

I drove up to the mine entrance today hoping to be able to get a photo for your article, but alas there's nothing to see and no public viewing facility. Too bad. –Moondyne 14:04, 4 September 2009 (UTC)

Cap lamp

Hey Calistemon, can you get a picture of a cap lamp (or whatever they call them in Australia)? I found this on flickr, and am uploading it, but I would like to have a more modern one. Also I have the one on the right for some history, I may do a picture of my vintage one. --kelapstick (talk) 16:21, 29 September 2009 (UTC)

A$

I noticed you often use non-standard symbols for the currency. Here's some guidance, which basically boils down to using {{AUD}} in the first instance, and then an unlinked "AUD" (or "A$" if you prefer). And a single space between the symbol and the amount. Cheers. –Moondyne 14:32, 1 January 2010 (UTC)

No need to apologise. I left an ALT at Template_talk:Did_you_know#Golden_Grove_Mine. It's still a bit wordy. –Moondyne 13:29, 12 January 2010 (UTC)

Thank you

Through your amazing efforts - we now have a justifiable Category - Mining in Western Australia - note that I try very hard to not have parent cats and children cats side by side - although at times I do confuse myself (oh dear) - please feel free to adjust any obvious mistakes I might make - but - thanks again for your amazing work! cheers and happy new year SatuSuro 04:05, 2 January 2010 (UTC) Actually the parent/child cat coincidence gets me - there are some real knots around the place - anyways good to see youre still going its really great to see you have the endurance mate - by the way are you anything on the bauxite mines at all - we virtually have nothing on the bigguns :( SatuSuro 12:25, 2 January 2010 (UTC)

Hmm youre the second wikipedian I know who is expecting parenthood in the first three months of the year - congratulations to you both and may it all go well - and youre forgiven if you go quiet for a year or two :) I keep forgetting what it was like - mine are now teenagers going on 25 SatuSuro 15:16, 2 January 2010 (UTC)

wow

gold mines in wa - probably the most definitive guide that exists - online or off - better youre getting better than what anyone can get anywhere else - youre in need of some sort of medal - platinum perhaps ;) SatuSuro 13:12, 14 January 2010 (UTC) Consistent addition to the table of owrking mines and the thoroughness is something to be admired - I am a bloody guerilla gorilla in the project tagging game - the sheer attrition is one thing, your method I am in awe of - my random tagging shows the same attention span as my teenagers :( SatuSuro 13:09, 15 January 2010 (UTC) http://wotnews.com.au/news/Michael_Kiernan/ wowo I am in the wrong game obviously - I went to school with a guy with the same name but not same person :) SatuSuro 13:22, 15 January 2010 (UTC)

I have in front of me a hardcopy of Western Australian Mineral and Petroleum statistisc digest 2006-2007 page 28-31 - Gold (there is probably an online version of older and recent i suppose as well)- there is easily an article stub there for Gold mining in western australia - wold you be interested in dipping in the odd fact or two? interested if you are:) SatuSuro 13:33, 15 January 2010 (UTC)

Oh dear answering on my own talk again - not a good sign. Might try a start of sorts but... will piddly little stub start SatuSuro 13:40, 15 January 2010 (UTC)

Ok will be very patethic stub and improvable when you get back :) cheers SatuSuro 13:44, 15 January 2010 (UTC)

Started and waitingfor your eagle eye SatuSuro 13:54, 15 January 2010 (UTC)

Concern

Super pit - it is not clear in the lead para what it was previously - like it was two or three previous open pits yes? I thought you had gone bush :0 suprised to see the stub grow into a tree in less than 12 hours - well done! SatuSuro 11:40, 16 January 2010 (UTC) Yeah well i wonder about the number of sat phones in haiti at the moment too :( - I still think super pit needs more of what it evolved from - but hey good works!!! SatuSuro 13:07, 16 January 2010 (UTC)

Nah not really (sorry I am a querulous old bastard - should be a camp cook obviously) - the potential for confusion is something that needs a damned good disambig sort of flow chart either in the super pit or the kalgoorlie article or somewhere - showing what came before and how and why it ended up as the super pit - if we get it right in wikipedia - we come up trumps against anyone else trying to pull one over us like the worst - one of their rookie journos called the darling scarp the darling escarpment this last week - they are constantly re -inventing western australia fast enough to make the life of a media monitor indexer nightmare :( SatuSuro 13:21, 16 January 2010 (UTC) Nah Ill take that back - maybe it is enough in the article as it is - but hey the super pit art needs maybe some more historic context with cites sometime later - next problem - what about the large gold operations that ar eno longer in operation - ie mined out - like Cue and Big Bell - are you in access to anything that gives the big 'gone long time' ones? (ie something like List of former gold mines in Wa no longer in production?) SatuSuro 13:26, 16 January 2010 (UTC)

I understand - will try to trawl henrietta's skirts for that and build up a better line of cites SatuSuro 13:28, 16 January 2010 (UTC) Ill have to corner you for a beer sometime - I come down that way approx once a month - despite being up here on the darling escarpment :) SatuSuro 13:31, 16 January 2010 (UTC)

Perhaps wandering around in the desert for 30 years eventually took its toll. Great work. –Moondyne 13:09, 27 January 2010 (UTC)

Star/Medal/something

Hard to know what to offer you - it is just stupendous (reaches for thesaurus, thinks... great gold star=?) just amazing what you have done - hope you realise we now have the best state mining group of arts over and above all others? sure hows the east aussies what a bunch of lazy b's they are... anyways your persistence needs acknowledging! SatuSuro 00:16, 5 February 2010 (UTC) Yeah I have a rellie in the uranium prospect business - I keep meaning to have a squiz around all the mines dept stuff about the more obscure minerals and the more obscure mines but seem permanently distracted :) and to be methodical seems against the grain at the moment - there are about 5 arts from 3 years ago I need to get back to and get to some level of something - but hey - the attrition thing is great here - doesnt matter how erratic the editing - the final pattern is always nice to look at SatuSuro 00:25, 5 February 2010 (UTC) Big Bell is one that really needs an articel - the station I used to stay out of Yalgoo was only so far as the crow flies - but I never got there - the problem with some of the more notable former minesites is the sheer number of them as well... as for the prospective uranium mines - there is as much shenanigans and comings and goings as the dealing in stuff in the de bernales days - just the prospects alone - I think we have lost the geologists we used to have around for the occasional check about things - a pity as the type of uranimum ores and orebodies is as interesting as the politics of it allSatuSuro 00:38, 5 February 2010 (UTC) Lifting henriettas ample skirts and look what we see a veritable gold mine of sources :) http://henrietta.slwa.wa.gov.au/search/?searchtype=X&SORT=D&searcharg=Big+Bell&searchscope=2&submit.x=25&submit.y=19&submit=Submit - not short skirt stuff at all :) SatuSuro 00:56, 5 February 2010 (UTC) sorry not on much over the next couple of days - will do a longer check in a few days time - looks good so far!

Brilliant mate - what a great benefit to the damned oz wp and no big parties or whooping it up for you yet! Anyways I have just come across in my collection are what I am hoping are PD images and things - quite clear from doubt (1897-1904) = material from mining waay back when - I hope some of them might fit into to something - cheers SatuSuro 10:11, 15 February 2010 (UTC) Clearly looking forward to nappies I suppose :) - yeah I'll try some old piccies from this stuff into commons and will let you know what I can get... SatuSuro 10:17, 15 February 2010 (UTC)

Please have a look and let me know... http://commons.wikimedia.org/File:GreatBoulderPerserveranceSat.jpg - cheers SatuSuro 12:40, 15 February 2010 (UTC) Yeah with time ( ispread myself around too many projects at any one time :( - also I might double check map copyright as well as I just came across pre WW1 goldfields (oops that was almost golf fields) maps in my possession SatuSuro 05:59, 19 February 2010 (UTC)

congrats - very very good to hear the news - hope mum is well as well - and heres hoping that wikipedia is transcended by something else better by the time she is able to work out what a keyboard is :) SatuSuro 11:40, 10 March 2010 (UTC)

Re: A question regarding some articles you deleted a while ago

Re your message: No, the articles are fine. Feel free to create all of the rest of the articles. These athletes meet the notability requirements by participating in the Olympics. The two articles that I deleted two years ago were deleted not because of the lack of notability, but the lack of context. The articles contained only the Olympic Medal templates. There wasn't even their name in the articles. -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 19:23, 3 April 2010 (UTC)

Re your message: I didn't remember. Sometimes I can barely remember what I did yesterday. =) It looks like I remembered because I looked it up. Admins can review the deleted revisions of articles. Sorry to disappoint you. =) -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 00:18, 4 April 2010 (UTC)
