Welcome to WP:AURD

Welcome to AURD, I guess Ill see more of you around. There are some userboxes if you are interested here: Wikipedia:WikiProject_Australian_Roads/userbox -- Nbound (talk) 13:32, 27 May 2013 (UTC)

Especially about the merger of F3! Marcnut1996 (talk) 13:39, 27 May 2013 (UTC)

Hume/M5 oddness

Just a heads up, Metroad 5/M5 ends at the Hume Highway in Prestons, not Casula; even on the site your using as your reference. Hume definately doesnt exist on 2 seperate routes in that section. :) -- Nbound (talk) 12:06, 1 June 2013 (UTC)

See: http://www.ozroads.com.au/NSW/Freeways/M5/m5.htm - Nbound (talk)

I knew it ends at Prestons. Which site did I use as reference? Dont think I mentioned M5 ends at Casulas. Marcnut1996 (talk) 12:10, 1 June 2013 (UTC)

You have got the Hume going both Via the M5 from Casula to Prestons, and via the Crossroads, the Hume Highway only follows the Crossroads route (and joins on at Campbelltown road overpass. Going northbound you have to go by Camden Valley Way to get back onto the "proper" Hume. See also: http://goo.gl/maps/gHdmY . -- Nbound (talk) 12:19, 1 June 2013 (UTC)

I think I understand. Marcnut1996 (talk) 12:24, 1 June 2013 (UTC)

Conversions

You are doing some good work with these conversion :). You've probably noticed Ive followed a few with minor fixes and what not. Noticed that you have been bolding some roads (which probably were so previously anyway). We are keeping the boxes bold free. MOS:BOLD doesnt let us use bold in most places. It will be important for articles which get to GA/A/FA class, as reviewing editors get picky about these things. Hopefully some of the roads we've been working on will get to FA one day :D. Not trying to pick on your edits btw, Im sure you'd be more annoyed if someone went around later and didnt tell you! -- Nbound (talk) 12:56, 1 June 2013 (UTC)

Thanks for your praise and your advice. Yeah, they were bold before and I didn't remove them, cause I didn't even know its not advised!! Marcnut1996 (talk) 12:58, 1 June 2013 (UTC)

Its all good... its a fairly big change from the pre-WP:AURD days! -- Nbound (talk) 13:19, 1 June 2013 (UTC)

Metroad 1

I see you've been editing the Metroad 1 page to get it alpha-ready. In the Talk page a few weeks ago a proposed deleting the entire article and redirecting to Highway 1 (New South Wales) as there's no real equivalent of Metroad 1 in the new world. Are you OK with this, or did you have any better ideas? Ausmeerkat (talk) 07:01, 3 August 2013 (UTC)

No problem if there is merging. However I would very much prefer Highway 1 (Sydney) or M1/A1 (Sydney). Marcnut1996 (talk) 07:06, 3 August 2013 (UTC)

Yeah, it's a tough one. I considered that too, but since any of these options are really just overview articles that point to more detailed topics for each named road, it seems overkill to have separate overviews for the Sydney and non-Sydney sections. Is there anything you would expect covered in a M1/A1 (Sydney) article that isn't already in Highway 1 (New South Wales)? Ausmeerkat (talk) 07:13, 3 August 2013 (UTC)

Probably what roads Highway 1 is running along in Sydney? Marcnut1996 (talk) 07:18, 3 August 2013 (UTC)

Just realised that is already stated in Highway 1(New South Wales). Marcnut1996 (talk) 07:34, 3 August 2013 (UTC)

Yep. So are you OK with the redirect I proposed? Ausmeerkat (talk) 08:35, 3 August 2013 (UTC)

Pacific Highway

I've reverted this edit because it's far too problematic. "Preferred" route and "motorists tend to go" requires a source or they constitutes original research. It's not true in any case. The most convenient route when travelling from somewhere south like Swansea is the Pacific Highway because it goes through Swansea. From the west the Pacific Highway is preferred because it continues from where the New England Highway and from the north it's the shortest, most direct route into the city. In any case, Wikipedia is not a how-to guide, so we houldn't be giving readers instructions on how to get to Newcastle, or anywhere. --AussieLegend (✉) 12:29, 4 February 2014 (UTC)

Less abusive edit summaries, please

Do you mind not putting defamatory remarks about autistic people in your edit summaries? Civil behaviour is strongly encouraged. Many thanks. AlexTiefling (talk) 14:48, 10 June 2014 (UTC)

Sorry. I'm just mad that some anonymous accounts just wouldn't understand the difference between a light and heavy rail, and have repeatedly done that for weeks that I suspect they are vandalism by the same person.Marcnut1996 (talk) 14:53, 10 June 2014 (UTC)

I dare say; but please take some time to learn about autism, and stop using it as a term of abuse. Thanks. AlexTiefling (talk) 14:51, 10 June 2014 (UTC)

Yeah, I will take note of that.Marcnut1996 (talk) 14:53, 10 June 2014 (UTC)

Just a question?

Since when has Newcastle been part of outer metropolitan Sydney?[1] --AussieLegend (✉) 14:29, 16 July 2014 (UTC)

Well technically it's not. The name can be changed though to "Outer Metropolitan NSW" maybe?Marcnut1996 (talk) 21:35, 16 July 2014 (UTC)

It is named because since the Sydney ones are called "Sydney Metropolitan Bus System Contracts" and the Newcastle areas etc are called "Outer Metropolitan Bus System contacts", I assumed the Newcastle routes are also considered "Outer Metropoitan Sydney".Marcnut1996 (talk) 22:02, 16 July 2014 (UTC)

"Outer Metropolitan NSW" is a place that doesn't exist. By using "metropolitan" you're linking an area to a city and most of Australia isn't linked to the infrastructure of a major city. Sydney only extends to the Hawkesbury River so anything beyond there can't be considered with Sydney at all. Beyond the reach of the major cities, the area becomes regional. Even the non-capital cities can be considered regional. That's why one of the suggestions at the TfD was "Regional New South Wales template for the rest of the state".[2] The regional routes might come under "Sydney Metropolitan Bus System Contracts", but that's an organisational issue. It doesn't actually mean that the routes themselves are Sydney routes, which is what metropolitan implies. --AussieLegend (✉) 09:08, 17 July 2014 (UTC)

Fleet Lists

You have done an excellent job recording the rollout of the Opal card in Sydney and the surrounding regions. Well Done. CheersFleet Lists (talk) 21:16, 19 November 2014 (UTC)

Thanks, Fleet Lists! Marcnut1996 (talk) 21:22, 19 November 2014 (UTC)

Homebush station and some others things.

You are always a good fountain of knowledge so you may be able to help on this. Homebush station still contains a statement as shown below

{{s-line|system=Sydney Trains|line=Inner West and South|previous=Flemington|next=Strathfield}}

This is obviously not correct as there are no trains which stop at both Homebush and Flemington these days. I can remove the Flemington which is OK and then shows it as terminus but it still leaves the line as Inner West and South Line but really it should be the terminus of the Inner West line. A similar problem at Flemington where the next station is shown as Homebush but here it should be shown as the South line and the next station as Strathfield (I can fix the latter).

But I dont know how to fix the names of the lines which seem to be a problem right through the stations from Lidcombe to Redfern and possibly further. Do you know how this should be fixed?

And as far as the above statement is concerned, it shows Sydney Trains which is fine but for the Airport and East Hills line it does not work with Sydney Trains - only with CityRail. Again do you have any ideas on this?

Cheers Fleet Lists (talk) 05:20, 14 February 2015 (UTC)

Unfortunately I am still unfamiliar with wikipedia templates. But I think we should have a new template for Inner West Line, just like how there are separate templates for Northern and Western Lines. Marcnut1996 (talk) 08:15, 15 February 2015 (UTC)

eg. {{s-line|system=CityRail|line=Western|previous=Lidcombe|next=Burwood|rows2=2}} {{s-line|system=CityRail|line=Northern|previous=North Strathfield|hide2=yes}}

Thank you for those comments. I raised the Airport and East Hills line problem through "Help Me" this morning where it was resolved within an hour which is great. So Sydney Trains should now be used everywhere instead of CityRail in the various templates as far as I can see. I will have a look in the next week to see what I will do with Homebush and Flemington.Fleet Lists (talk) 02:12, 16 February 2015 (UTC)

Pacific Motorway (Brisbane – Ballina)

I've reverted your move of Pacific Motorway (Brisbane – Brunswick Heads). Changes on road signs are not a good indicator of road names. There are roadsigns in Newcastle that still show the Pacific Highway as extending along Maitland Road and the speed camera still shows "Pacific Highway" on photos that stand up in court despite the road being gazetted along a different route. After the long RM discussion earlier this year we really need to wait until the new road endpoints have been gazetted before suggesting that the article be moved again. --AussieLegend (✉) 13:27, 25 December 2015 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Sydney Metropolitan Bus System Contracts

The article Sydney Metropolitan Bus System Contracts has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

This article refers to the legal instruments involved in the management of the bus network, which are not in themselves notable. This subject matter is amply covered in the articles Buses in Sydney, Local bus routes in Sydney and Bus operators in Sydney.

While all constructive 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 {{proposed deletion/dated}} 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 {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Thank You

First a thank you for the Thank You you sent for the Buses in Sydney Post. I had only started that On Demand section yesterday so good to see it being expanded on.

I am also very happy to see someone else posting to Buses in Sydney as since I cleaned up the various Buses pages about a month ago, no one else had posted. That user who buggered things up had a lot to answer for over about three years - thank heavens he appears to have gone.

Re Sydney Metropolitan Bus Service Contracts which he also buggered up, even suggesting at one stage that it be deleted. Good to see it back as a standalone page. Someone has suggested that all or part of the table could possibly be changed to prose to make it more flexible. I drafted a prose version in User:Fleet Lists/sandbox but I think it got too long (only added references to two regions so far), so I think I will let it go. I can always recover it from the sandbox later if required. Any thoughts?Fleet Lists (talk) 04:25, 7 August 2018 (UTC)

Great job on CDC etc today. I have expanded User:Fleet Lists/sandbox along the lines you suggested. Any further comments welcome and I dont mind if you update it yourself. Fleet Lists (talk) 06:10, 8 August 2018 (UTC)

Kind NOTICE

Please note that information concerning Sydney Metro operations should NOT be inserted into the Sydney Metro Northwest page as noted in the Sydney Metro trains talk page: Sydney Metro Northwest and Sydney Metro City & Southwest: These articles cover the planning and construction of these projects, but not their operation. This is because the Northwest article is rather long and complex (admittedly it needs cleaning up) and because the two projects will be operated as one line, making the distinction between them academic come 2024. These would be similar to the 7 Subway Extension and Northern line extension to Battersea articles. --Metrobjects (talk) 15:08, 6 May 2019 (UTC)

I just wanted to thank you for all the work you're putting in straightening out some of the more confusing chapters in state conservative political history: it's clearly something that needed a lot of work, and since many of the old auspol editors are less active these days it's really great to see other people with decent knowledge of this stuff start to take on some of the big weak spots.

Google Code-In 2019 is coming - please mentor some documentation tasks!

Hello,

Google Code-In, Google-organized contest in which the Wikimedia Foundation participates, starts in a few weeks. This contest is about taking high school students into the world of opensource. I'm sending you this message because you recently edited a documentation page at the English Wikipedia.

I would like to ask you to take part in Google Code-In as a mentor. That would mean to prepare at least one task (it can be documentation related, or something else - the other categories are Code, Design, Quality Assurance and Outreach) for the participants, and help the student to complete it. Please sign up at the contest page and send us your Google account address to google-code-in-admins@lists.wikimedia.org, so we can invite you in!

From my own experience, Google Code-In can be fun, you can make several new friends, attract new people to your wiki and make them part of your community.

If you have any questions, please let us know at google-code-in-admins@lists.wikimedia.org.

Thank you!

Party mergers

Can you slow down a bit with some of these? I think you've generally had the right idea with some of the big ones you've raised so far - e.g. there's no reason to distinguish the LCL from the SA branch of the LP even though we traditionally have. We've generally not made a habit of merging predecessor parties into successor parties unless it's a simple rename, though, and I think some of yours are getting a bit borderline. Everything we have on the QPP and the rise of the Qld Liberal Party, for example, is poorly-sourced and a bit contradictory and I'd like to see an actual discussion with actual sources about that transition before merging those kinds of cases. It's really easy for gratuitous mergers to get a bit sloppy and lead to bad history, and that's a road that ultimately gets you to sources like the UWA election database that's just fundamentally wrong in many places. The Drover's Wife (talk) 10:18, 26 November 2019 (UTC)

And now there's unarguable predecessor parties being merged - please don't do this without a consensus to do so, as it's overturning longstanding deliberate practice and is something that's going to meet with opposition. The Drover's Wife (talk) 10:22, 26 November 2019 (UTC)

@The Drover's Wife: Makes sense. I have started a merge proposal for QPP and Qld Liberal Party, but I am not going to start one for the Democratic Party (1943) and Commonwealth Party (New South Wales) and NSW liberals since I agree they are separate parties/entities. However, I have revamped the two defunct party pages to minimise duplication with each other, and keeping sufficient information in the NSW liberal party page as a background.

I will mention the overall situation in the wikiproject talk page sometime today. Marcnut1996 (talk) 23:50, 26 November 2019 (UTC)

Thanks for your persistence in sorting out these issues around the formation of state Liberal parties - it's work that's really needed to be done. With this edit - did you use the right source? It doesn't mention the date or who merged into the party. The Drover's Wife (talk) 07:25, 2 December 2019 (UTC)

@The Drover's Wife: I think I forgot to change the reference when I was changing this sentence. The correct reference should be a reference later in the article titled “LD Delegates Walk Out of Conference”. Marcnut1996 (talk) 07:41, 2 December 2019 (UTC)

Edit: It is the reference titled “Democratic Party Formed”. I have made the changes and updated the reference. Marcnut1996 (talk) 07:47, 2 December 2019 (UTC)

Current composition of Aus House of Reps

Not being able to overwrite this image is a little annoying. Parliamentary composition changes throughout the term. Just today Llew O'Brien is leaving the Nationals party room but staying as a Liberal National Party MP, so it would be nice to update the file to reflect that. Changes in party affiliations and the like happen usually on at least a few occasions in the life of a parliament. Is there any way to update the file, or do I have the create a new image?

Oops. It appears the file overwrite function is now working. Apologies. Global-Cityzen (talk) 02:56, 10 February 2020 (UTC)

Copying licensed material requires attribution

Hi. I see in a recent addition to Transport for Victoria you included material from a web page that is available under a compatible Creative Commons Licence. That's okay, but you have to give attribution so that our readers are made aware that you copied the prose rather than wrote it yourself. I've added the attribution for this particular instance. Please make sure that you follow this licensing requirement when copying from compatibly-licensed material in the future. — Diannaa (talk) 01:19, 18 February 2020 (UTC)

Map for Capital Circle

Hey there, it looks like it was you who created the map for the Capital Circle article some years ago. I'd very much like to create a map for the West Gate Tunnel article, but have no experience in that aspect. Are you able to give me some pointers on how I can do it? Feel free to message me direct. Thanks! BlackCab (TALK) 05:44, 21 April 2020 (UTC)

@BlackCab: Sorry, I don’t recall creating the map. I also have little experience creating maps. Maybe it was someone else? Where does it say that I created the map? Marcnut1996 (talk) 11:42, 21 April 2020 (UTC)

This edit. Not to worry. I'll keep digging. BlackCab (TALK) 23:34, 21 April 2020 (UTC)
