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)

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)

That'd be great. I was hoping for something like this, but anything'd be good. –Moondyne 14:13, 4 September 2009 (UTC)

Cap lamp

A lit carbide 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)

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!

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)

DYK nomination for Rudolf-Kalweit-Stadion

• Your DYK for Rudolf-Kalweit-Stadion is almost ready to go; you just need to stop past and add some alt and rollover text to your image. If you leave a message on my talk page when you've done it I'll come back and give it the tick. - DustFormsWords (talk) 03:15, 13 April 2010 (UTC)

• It's still not right. Images for DYK take the format:

File:Kallweit Stadion.jpg|100x100px|Rollover text goes here|alt=Grandstand of the Rudolf-Kalweit-Stadion in Hanover with the roof of the former Stadion Rote Erde.

Just copy what I have above, and replaced the bolded "Rollover text goes here" with the name of the image, similar to what you'd normally put in a caption field. Here you could probably use "Grandstand of the Rudolf-Kalweit-Stadion in Hanover". It's the text that will pop up if someone hovers their mouse over the image. - DustFormsWords (talk) 03:45, 13 April 2010 (UTC)

I disagree with blanket templates - the Asia templates are a real disgrace - whichever subject they attempt to cover - and would hope that for minding companies inAustralia - an active and inactive, or some other sort of criteria might be used to separate out, might evolves - large templates are unfriendly beasts and can be quite problematic SatuSuro 13:42, 7 May 2010 (UTC)

Re 1943 enty - it's more likely disinformation. Lloyd's continued to list ships captured or sunk so as not to confirm to the Axis powers that they had indeed sunk the ship.

Basically we have a just active wa project - but from odd corners - the old gang who went to the first or second meetup - has in its own way done its time - 4 years or so - which is quite surprising when you consider what real - life does to most people - idling away unpaid time on a dubious exercise like this one saw many fall away within a year of jimbo's visit/presence the other year - the number of active WA eds is currently low - but it still ticks away - just when a good friend decided he had enough - I thought I would put up a most of the people i knew here are now basically inactive - but it got misinterpreted - so I have taken it down. It would be good to try to get the numbers up again - at one point the activity of the WA project was the most impressive in the country. But most people have only so much interest in doing something for little return. There is only so much one can do - and even if some spit the dummy, or simply walk away - the machine keeps rolling on. Who knows what tommorrow brings ? SatuSuro 05:18, 10 June 2010 (UTC)

Hello. Your account has been granted the "reviewer" userright, allowing you to review other users' edits on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged protection, will be commencing a two-month trial at approximately 23:00, 2010 June 15 (UTC).

Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under flagged protection. Flagged protection is applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial.

When reviewing, edits should be accepted if they are not obvious vandalism or BLP violations, and not clearly problematic in light of the reason given for protection (see Wikipedia:Reviewing process). More detailed documentation and guidelines can be found here.

I just put up Oyu Tolgoi mine for DYK, I only spent 6 months working on it....In other news I should be able to get a decent new picture for User:Kelapstick/Cap lamp, we are using those new LED ones. Feel free to expand cap lamp if you can. --kelapstick (talk) 13:08, 25 June 2010 (UTC)

When I worked underground at Mt Lyell We had the only clunky heavy lamps - now in the firey volunteer group i am in - even the fireys are using the LED min things - so small and delicate compared to the stuff from centuires ago SatuSuro 00:55, 26 June 2010 (UTC)

Template

Nah I would tend to think of historic (ie former not current production) and current in terms of notability in criteria that do not equate with production volumes - as an older (sic) West Australian, I would tend to think of the goldfields companies that made big splashes 1890's - 1920's, (gold companies of West Australian Kalgoorlie goldfield) and then the more unusual of the 1970's - 1990's (maybe some flops, maybe some surprises) then the 2000's - I think the sense of decades might work better - significant gold mines or companies of the 1950's- 1960's (ie before the iron and nickel booms) - otherwise the curse of the template that is over-generalised in denying historic shifts over time SatuSuro 13:41, 29 June 2010 (UTC)

DYK for Mark Cutifani

— Rlevse • Talk • 00:02, 17 July 2010 (UTC)

Nice work, but when Cutifani came to Inco it hadn't been purchased by CVRD. They took over in 2005, did he leave in 2007 (looks that way), in which case the take over might be worth a mention. Cheers, --kelapstick (talk) 11:36, 17 July 2010 (UTC)

I am not sure when he signed on, other than what you said, but he was there when I was. I left in 200, just before the takeover, and I think he was still there, I will take a look and see what I can find. kelapstick (talk) 10:50, 19 July 2010 (UTC)

No pictures I am afraid, he was in corporate in Toronto, and I was in a place I would rather not return to. I don't even know if he even made it up while I was there, I don't recall him ever coming by our site...--kelapstick (talk) 11:14, 19 July 2010 (UTC)

Our division was something like a forgotten middle child up there...but our site always made plan! Now I get the best (worst) of both worlds, -40 in winter, and +40 in summer. When am I going to find a place that is +20 year round? I looked at the Forbes article, and it looks like MC did leave in 2007, two years after the take over. --kelapstick (talk) 11:35, 19 July 2010 (UTC)

Gold

The copper and other mines were able to extract gold from their ores - pity it couldnt be something like Mines that extracted Gold in Tassie or something - but the little ones on Mt Read and Mt Jukes hardly caught a thing in comparison to Mt Lyell and Rosbery mines that were able to extract it from their processing SatuSuro 13:24, 19 July 2010 (UTC)

New Project

I was looking for information on Tulawaka, and couldn't find anything on here, so I started to create it, then I had a brilliant (in the eye of the beholder) idea. A Joint venture quadruple DYK in which we create,Bulyanhulu, Buzwagi, North Mara, Tulawaka, all appering in the same hook. Thoughts? I am in no rush, User:Kelapstick/Tulawaka mine is started anyway, I am sure we can get enough for all of them to make them 1,500. Also I (IPd) added Kabanga Nickel Project to Template:Barrick Gold, it's a 50/50 joint venture, even though it isn't gold...Cheers, --kelapstick (talk) 01:45, 21 July 2010 (UTC)

Kabanga seems to be a project that won't die, even though I tried my hardest. Just never seems to have the timing right, plus remote location leads to high capital. I will start all the new articles off, I might have more time in the next couple weeks than usual, I leave camp early August, so won't have much time once I get back...you know how it is. We can pick away at them in our free time, also, Satu, feel free to dive in if you find anything good.--kelapstick (talk) 10:53, 21 July 2010 (UTC)

Works for me.--kelapstick (talk) 04:24, 22 July 2010 (UTC)

A 5x expansion for ABG would bring it up to 2,500, which should be doable by expansion of the operations section, widening out the lead and maybe a bit on the history. As for Getia, I think we are better off leaving it out and making this an ABG hook, because the four mines are connected to the one company, where the fifth is another mine that happens to be in the same country, just coming from a hook development point of view. As for the mine articles, I think they are good. The coordinates I put in the infoboxes are pretty basic, I didn't have "exact" coordinates, so I was lining it up on the map as best I could, and for that sacale, I am willing to be a little off. --kelapstick (talk) 01:58, 24 July 2010 (UTC)

My suggestion would be to seperate the operations sectino like this:

==Operations==
The Company operates four mines in northwest Tanzania.
===Bulyanhulu Gold Mine===
 {{main|Bulyanhulu Gold Mine}}
===Buzwagi Gold Mine===
 {{main|Buzwagi Gold Mine}}
===North Mara Gold Mine===
 {{mine|North Mara Gold Mine}}
 ===Tulawaka mine===
 {{main|Tulawaka mine}}

We should be able to take a a few hundred characters from each article to expand the sections, the a little on the history and we are done. Were you going to do it or did you want me to?--kelapstick (talk) 02:13, 24 July 2010 (UTC)

Nevermind, I see you are on it. Cheers.--kelapstick (talk) 02:14, 24 July 2010 (UTC)

If we can find an independant (not the Barrick website) that gives the 2009 production, I think we should use:

...that in 2009 African Barrick Gold produced 716,000 ounces from gold at the Tulawaka, Bulyanhulu, Buzwagi and the North Mara Gold Mines?

Found one.--kelapstick (talk) 02:34, 24 July 2010 (UTC)

I think it is ready, the last time I checked it was up to 2,498 characters, which would be 5x499, when we started it was 469. Anything else that gets added is a bonus, and I have an idea or two...--kelapstick (talk) 02:59, 24 July 2010 (UTC)

Sounds good, I will move them over, and nominate them, give my best to the missus. Cheers. --kelapstick (talk) 03:04, 24 July 2010 (UTC)

first I have heard of it, but the source that you list says: "At Sekenke, southeast of Buly, Barrick's land package covers the old Sekenke gold mine". That links the two in my opinion, as the article was written in 2001, and that land package would be transfered over to ABG. --kelapstick (talk) 03:08, 25 July 2010 (UTC)

Coord parameters in gold mine articles

In the {{Coord}} template, the political region is supplied as either a two character ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 country code or an ISO 3166-2 region code. Thus: "region:ML" (not "region:Mali").

Also, the coordinate type (such as "landmark") requires a "type:" prefix. Thus: {{coord|29|08|S|122|42|E|type:landmark}} (not {{coord|29|08|S|122|42|E|landmark}}).

Best regards, --Stepheng3 (talk) 23:24, 29 July 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for the polite reply. I just realized that in my previous message I forgot to point you to the actual documentation for the template: Template:Coord/doc. Feel free to send any related questions my way. Cheers,--Stepheng3 (talk) 03:50, 30 July 2010 (UTC)

I can understand your passion, but is it your contention that no-one but the passionately involved should be involved in editting? You are aware that Wikipedia is not a fanboy publication and that editorial standards are by no means dependant on the passion of the editors involved. --Falcadore (talk) 12:17, 27 September 2010 (UTC)

So the volume of the deletion is the problem? It was a single table. I should have only deleted half of the table? The size of that table was the specific cause of the problem. It was too large to be easily readable and is not really the kind of content that wikipedia is supposed to be used for. In my opinion the table was unrecoverable. --Falcadore (talk) 12:37, 27 September 2010 (UTC)

There are a number of answers. I was not aware of the List article's existance, but simply moving it to another article would not alter the readability problem such a table has. The table as written is too long, it is trying to display too much information in one hit. Dividing rider performance into a separate line for each riding passenger is part of the issue. There should be one line for each rider, the name of the co-riding partner is a side issue. Either the two athletes are a combined partnership, or the rider should be considered completely indepenent of the passenger. World Rally Championship is a good example of this for very similar reasons. --Falcadore (talk) 12:58, 27 September 2010 (UTC)

Attempting to summarise many riders entire career in such a manner is also biting off too much in one go. Can you imagine for example how large such a table would be if it were attempted for the 60+ year history of Formula One? Rider's careers are best summarised on their individual pages rather than in one unwieldy large mass of numbers on the main article page. --Falcadore (talk) 13:04, 27 September 2010 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Michael Kerr (rugby)

The article Michael Kerr (rugby) has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

German Rugby league player who fails WP:NSPORTS#Rugby league, in so far as Rugby league is a minor amateur sport in Germany and playing for ones national side is no indication of any form of notability or passing WP:GNG, what ref's there are are not Independent nor are they significant.

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{dated prod}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. Codf1977 (talk) 14:04, 5 October 2010 (UTC)

Hey Calistemon, I am not sure if this is the right place to ask for your advice. As you have noticed I am working on an article on the BHP Billiton Ravensthorpe Nickel Project. As it is the first article I have created I am keen to have it reviewed and judged for 'quality'. I do not want to send the request to the wrong place and I am not quite sure how I go about making a request for peer review. Can you please advise me on this? Thanks!

Your request on my talk page is rather unusual and should be taken to an admin instead, I think. Whatever the edit war is about you are involved in, I'm afraid I can't help you. Calistemon (talk) 13:34, 6 December 2010 (UTC)

Of course I'm involved, but you are not involved, so you are allowed to revert every version violating the 3 revert rule, without having to be afraid. I wouldn't like to take it to an admin, because I don't want the user (who violated the 3 rever rule) to be blocked by the admin. Anyways, it's up to you whether to do me the favor, and I can't force you to me a favor. Eliko (talk) 13:40, 6 December 2010 (UTC)

Admins don't block that quickley, unless there is a serious reason. The article in question is of serious nature and I have no background knowledge whatsoever. I must decline your request and once more suggest to approach an admin. Calistemon (talk) 13:45, 6 December 2010 (UTC)

Thank you for referring to my request.

Wikipdia rules determine that any user who has violated the 3 Revert Rule may be blocked. If I could be sure that the admin wouldn't block the user whose version I want to be reverted, then I wouldn't hesitate. Anyways, As I said, it's up to you whether to do me a favor, I can't force you.

There should be a qualifier for Department_of_Mines_and_Petroleum - do you think we should put western australia in front or back or in brackets - for the article - there must be a few around the planet - it would be good to have some identifier somehow SatuSuro 13:22, 6 December 2010 (UTC)

hehe - yeah the place seems very disjointed these days - I'll leave it - I think it is a worrying trend - I'd rather dismabig any time over single title articles which could be anywhere on the planet - even if the lead sentences do the qualifying - cheers - oh hell i even forget to sign over this... hmmm SatuSuro 13:28, 6 December 2010 (UTC)

terminology - compare the template terms with the list at http://www.dmp.wa.gov.au/7846.aspx and http://www.dmp.wa.gov.au/1521.aspx#1559

and then the major projects map at http://www.dmp.wa.gov.au/1521.aspx and that then goes into: http://www.dmp.wa.gov.au/1521.aspx

• Base Metals Bauxite - Alumina Coal Diamonds Gold Gypsum Heavy Mineral Sands Iron Ore Manganese Nickel Petroleum Salt Spongolite Talc Tin-Tantalum-Lithium

so its anyones guess? SatuSuro 13:37, 6 December 2010 (UTC)

hmm salt - I know/knew one of the owner managers of one of the wa firms - hmm - i do have some aerial shots on commons i think of the shark bay one - yeah - the more minor shows - some are quite interesting and quirky SatuSuro 13:45, 6 December 2010 (UTC)

Just caught a glimpse of what needs to be done with links and piccies at http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Mining_towns_in_Australia - havent the time now - but hope to get back to it again soon - cheers SatuSuro 03:24, 8 December 2010 (UTC)

Mining template

Good job on the mining template, and on your article on iron ore mining in Western Australia. I'll have to apply your template to some of the articles on US mining. Thanks. Plazak (talk) 13:19, 7 December 2010 (UTC)

odd

there are no aka's for Orebodies_18,_23_and_25_mine - a place or anything? SatuSuro 05:46, 9 December 2010 (UTC)

hey thats no matter - things like that have a good quirky unusualness compared to some of the boring names of the other places SatuSuro 23:29, 9 December 2010 (UTC)

heheh - todays one was squashed, yesterdays photo'd - - geese hope they give you something resembling AC - no cyclones yet? SatuSuro 12:50, 26 December 2010 (UTC)

I understand - very tricky that one - problem with digi photos - very traceable :( - speak to you again soon - our predicted tommorow is 40 - mere chicken feed to what you have to put up with - keep cool when you can! SatuSuro 13:00, 26 December 2010 (UTC)
