Australian place names

edit

Hi - I noticed your edits to Bega Valley. Australian place names are automatically disambiguated as they are so often also names of places elesewhere. This applies even when we are quite confident the place name is unique. The only exceptions are capital cities, eg Sydney. So for example the link is to Bega, New South Wales and if you just want to show Bega then you use a pipe: " | " as per [[Bega, New South Wales|Bega]] to display as Bega. Hope this makes sense.

Saccostrea cucullata

edit

In answer to your query, it's the coral rock oyster, milky oyster, or hooded rock oyster, a tropical species. It seems to have been introduced from elsewhere in the Indo-Pacific (another name listed is the Bombay oyster [1]) rather than being endemic to Australia. It's harvested in north Queensland, according to a Marine Fisheries Review article. The only actual farming would be experimental. Volume of production seems rather minuscule.

re: Merimbula

edit

A question, not a criticism, Wineguy why did you revert the changes made to the Merimbula, NSW, Australia page. Most were pretty good! --como006

Sorry it's taken me so long to respond, real life has been a bit crazy the past couple weeks. I had a look and it seems I may have made a mistake while doing RC patrol. It looks like there was quite a bit of vandalism to Australia related articles from anon IPs that night, and I accidentally rolled back a legit edit. (Although, the bit about the best chinese restaurant in town may have caught my eye!?) Anyway, it looks like the good info has been restored. Thanks for pointing it out. --Wine Guy Talk 18:22, 20 August 2006 (UTC)Reply


Footy Club

edit

Hi, I am trying to introduce a club for rugby league supporters that will be more than just a wikiproject and help to encourage rugby league participation and article improvement. I have written down some of my thoughts about what wikileaguies should attempt to do and would be interested if you, like other rugby league supporters, would be willing to be involved on some level. [3], leave signage and thoughts on the talk page if you are interested. Furthermore you may be interested in Como Jannali Rugby League Football Club Cheers. --Rugby 666 08:19, 8 December 2006 (UTC)Reply
