Thanks. :) Since I may only be up here for a week or two (Maybe moving to NSW or Vic for the short term) I'm getting as many photo as possible. As I don't have a car I've been riding.

== Question about ]'s topic ban ==

I saw your message left on ] regarding topic ban on review of Featured Articles and Good Articles. I have a few questions that would require your clarification. Since there were 4 proposals flying around in Admin's noticeboard at that time, which one is the implemented proposal? How long does the topic ban last? (6 months? A year? Permanently?) Finally, does this topic ban extend to the context of ], ], ], ], and ]? ]] 16:32, 26 February 2008 (UTC)

Orderinchaos is taking a short wikibreak and will be back on Misplaced Pages soon.

Until further notice, my activity levels will be dropping considerably due to offline priorities - a case of not enough hours in the day. I will be continuing to edit areas related to my interests but the time I have available to comment or involve myself in other matters will be limited. Orderinchaos 07:57, 16 February 2008 (UTC)

Alabama USA refs

Re: this discussion... the articles were from Factiva as you guessed. The titles of them are: "Saints quell Angel cheers" and "ROUNDUP Theismann signs deal with 'Skins ". If you can confirm the sources I'll revert the notes on Miss Alabama USA. PageantUpdater talk • contribs 02:17, 14 February 2008 (UTC)

Both safe. For transparency, I'll include what I found here.
Contention 1
  • Text in article: Stancil was arrested in 1977 for possessing cocaine and marijuana with intent to distribute
  • Source given: United Press International (7 October 1978). "Saints quell Angel cheers". The Globe and Mail. p. 53. {{cite news}}: Check date values in: |date= (help)
  • Source says: "Miss Stancil was hired although she faces charges of possessing cocaine and marijuana with intent to distribute it."
Contention 2
  • Text in article: She was fired as head of the New Orleans Saints cheerleading squad in 1978 for failing to disclose this information.
  • Source given - "ROUNDUP Theismann signs deal with 'Skins". The Globe and Mail. 15 April 1982. p. S2. {{cite news}}: Check date values in: |date= (help)
  • Source says: "Eva Jo Stancil, fired from her job as head of the now-defunct New Orleans Saints cheerleading squad in 1978... The Saints, who dismissed Stancil after only two weeks in charge of the cheerleaders, accused her of failing to fully inform them of a marijuana arrest in 1977. Stancil was selected Miss Alabama for the 1978 Miss USA pageant."

Another beatup?

Still talking about honeymoons... Timeshift (talk) 12:24, 16 February 2008 (UTC)

As I said to someone today, I think if you read the two papers today, you'd actually manage to know less about what's going on than you did before reading them. Orderinchaos 14:11, 16 February 2008 (UTC)

WikiProject Queensland/To-do

I noticed you created the page Misplaced Pages:WikiProject Queensland/To-do last October but it is not being used. However on the Misplaced Pages:WikiProject Queensland page there is a "Things you can do" section with tasks listed. I was wanting to add the WP Qld tasks to my Editing tools page but there is no point until the to-do list problem is resolved. Is something wrong with the setup or are articles being listed incorrectly or what? Please advise, thanks. - Shiftchange (talk) 12:42, 16 February 2008 (UTC)

Nousernamesleft

Hi, Orderinchaos, thanks for voting in my RfA, which passed with 47 supports (I hoped for a perfect square, but two away is close enough!), 3 opposes (the first odd prime), and 0 neutrals. I'm glad the community has decided to trust me with the mop and bucket (the flamethrower isn't supported). Of course, special thanks goes to my nominators Auawise and that one guy who buried stuff (not that the thanks I give to the you isn't special!). If you ever need a hand with something, or just want to say hello, tough feel free to drop a line! Best wishes, Nousernamesleft 23:01, 17 February 2008 (UTC)

This doesn't even vaguely resemble a mop, but I couldn't find a picture of one.
I've decided against recall. Cheers, Nousernamesleft 15:03, 18 February 2008 (UTC)

Please deal with GG

Sigh... he just doesn't get it. Timeshift (talk) 13:28, 18 February 2008 (UTC)

Lindisfarne Interchange

Thankyou for your reply regarding my coordinates request. Unfortunately i have not had much luck, and the preview page keeps saying those coordinates are either in the middle of Tasmania or in the Pacific Ocean. Was wondering if you could make the changes so i can see where i went wrong. The exact co-ordinates (Source: google earth) are 42.51'42.70"S 147.21'17.02E
I think its the last set of numbers in each set causing the problem but I am unsure as to how to remedy the problem. Kind regards Wiki ian 14:42, 18 February 2008 (UTC)

Trying 42°51′42.70″S 147°21′17.02″E / 42.8618611°S 147.3547278°E / -42.8618611; 147.3547278... Seems to work. Orderinchaos 14:48, 18 February 2008 (UTC)
Thankyou Wiki ian 14:59, 18 February 2008 (UTC)
No worries, it's not the most user friendly template (although is far better than those that preceded it). Orderinchaos 15:13, 18 February 2008 (UTC)Q

Narre Warren

Please explain how its untrue on 2 counts that Narre Warren was brought to the attention of Australians due to a certain party on 14 Jan 2008, news of which was broadcast globally? (Just because WP doesn't deem this worthy of an article doesn't make the media reports untrue). Eyedubya (talk) 12:26, 19 February 2008 (UTC)

OhanaUnited's RFA

.: Thank you! :.

Thank you for participating in my 2nd RfA and supporting me! My RfA passed unanimously at 79 support, 0 oppose, 0 neutral. I would like to take this opportunity to thank AndonicO and Rudget for nominating me. I also want to thank LaraLove for persuading me to keep going after I failed my first RfA.

To be really honest, I am surprised that my RfA passed without any oppose or neutral. Being an administrator means more responsibilities, especially when I'm now an administrator on both English Misplaced Pages as well as WikiSpecies. I promise everyone that I will use the tools effectively to serve the community. If you need help on anything, don't hesitate to leave me a message on my talk page and I will get back to you as soon as possible. Last but not least, remember the motto for Ohana: "When it comes to family, nobody gets left behind."

Once again, thanks for placing your trust in me to help the community. OhanaUnited 18:14, 19 February 2008 (UTC)

Vandalism?

Question about User:Coloane's topic ban

I saw your message left on Coloane's talk page regarding topic ban on review of Featured Articles and Good Articles. I have a few questions that would require your clarification. Since there were 4 proposals flying around in Admin's noticeboard at that time, which one is the implemented proposal? How long does the topic ban last? (6 months? A year? Permanently?) Finally, does this topic ban extend to the context of featured topic, featured picture, featured sound, featured portals, and featured list? OhanaUnited 16:32, 26 February 2008 (UTC)
