Yes, welcome to the 'pedia. Your interest in Newtown is explained by your resume. Arno 07:58 10 Jun 2003 (UTC)

Thanks both. Yep, I wanted to fill out Newtown and surrounds with some info. I might take some pictures of Newtown, Sydney Uni and Pyrmont for upload. What's the feeling on promiscuously adding images to articles? -- Tarka

No policy restricting pictures on this site exists that I am aware of, aside from ensuring that there are no copyright problems - which does not seem to apply here.

My own feeling is that one should not to go overboard with images - as they can be distracting to an article. Arno 11:32 13 Jun 2003 (UTC)

Yep, my thoughts are to pick one good image that 'captures' Newtown on the page, and then stick any other good ones on an 'Images of Newtown' page. Tarka 03:43 14 Jun 2003 (UTC)

G'day Tarka. Do you have any idea how many crest images there are in Wikipedia? See Wikipedia:Image use policy under "image titles".-- Tim Starling 07:45 17 Jun 2003 (UTC)

I forgot to say: there's no way to rename an image, so you've just got to re-upload it and list the old one on Wikipedia:Votes for deletion. -- Tim Starling 07:49 17 Jun 2003 (UTC)

Thanks Do you want me to delete the original, while I'm hanging around? -- Tim Starling

I've stuck it on the deletion page, although if you could check I've done it the right way that would be appreciated; I think I made a hash of it :) -- Tarka

PS. Thanks for the help Tim, I'm still finding my way around things. -- Tarka 08:09 17 Jun 2003 (UTC)

No problem, it's all fixed now. I hope I don't get accused of blatant abuse of sysop rights :) Did you see what happened with Zoe recently when she didn't wait a week? Anyway, it's time for me to go home and have dinner. CYA. -- Tim Starling 08:21 17 Jun 2003 (UTC)

All-right for some; I just got back from a military range in the Mornington peninsula. Nice weather you're having down there :) But I start at Sydney University next week; it'll be a nice change of pace.

What's the story with Zoe anyway, she seems to wind everyone up? Tarka 03:59 20 Jun 2003 (UTC)

No, others excel at that. Some of these have been banned, others ought to be. Arno 05:03 22 Jun 2003 (UTC)

Actually, one such banned user seems to have scared Zoe away by a series of off-color edits to user pages. Arno 07:49 24 Jun 2003 (UTC)

Tarka, what do you think about Cecropia's nominations for adminship? Get-back-world-respect 14:02, 1 Apr 2004 (UTC)
