template- religious buildings

Bit of a temporary fix - should probably be better-named and there may be other changes useful as well Regards Crusoe8181 (talk) 04:27, 4 February 2012 (UTC)

A barnstar for you!

  The Citation Barnstar
For your work at Ronni Kahn‎, an article which was in a poor state. Keep up the good work! Bidgee (talk) 10:31, 24 February 2012 (UTC)
Thanks. Having great fun with cleaning up citations at present; working on multiple projects across Australian and NSW government, politics, and religion. Rangasyd (talk) 11:04, 24 February 2012 (UTC)

Australian coordinates

Greetings. When you use both a negative value for a south latitude and the "S" parameter, the software interprets it as a positive (north) latitude. Just use "S", omitting the negative sign (hyphen) before the degrees of latitude. Deor (talk) 09:26, 9 September 2012 (UTC)

Thanks, Yeah. I just noticed that and am going through and correcting all recent edits. Thanks again. Rangasyd (talk) 09:28, 9 September 2012 (UTC)

Nice work updating these! (Note: there's only one L in unaligned.) Frickeg (talk) 04:19, 23 September 2012 (UTC)

Thanks and whoops! Rangasyd (talk) 04:24, 23 September 2012 (UTC)

Discussion that could use your input

I'm trying to update the Victorian LGAs along the lines of the work you did in NSW, but I've run into a headache with party identification. I've posted at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Australian politics about it - your feedback would be useful. The Drover's Wife (talk) 11:56, 31 October 2012 (UTC)

Hey. Thanks for the praise. I'll get to your request soon. As a cockroach, I'm not too familiar with things down Mexico way! Rangasyd (talk) 12:03, 31 October 2012 (UTC)

Obeid

Hi mate, just a query about the Obeid article. I hid a section on his son because I didn't think it was appropriate in a BLP to include unrelated allegations about his son's business. But I see there is now a mention of the Roozendaal case in the Obeid article on the basis that his son was involved. But I'm still concerned that the only link between Eddie Obeid and that story is someone's claim that the deal was done for Roozendaal because he was Obeid's mate. More of a connection than the other story, sure, but do you think it is okay in a BLP? Thought I'd discuss it with you before looking to change anything. I can see what you were doing making it clear they were allegations and keeping things as NPOV as possible, so nice work there. Perhaps it's time for a Moses Obeid article? Stalwart111 23:56, 15 November 2012 (UTC)

Hey, thanks for the positive feedback. Dealing with the latter first, his son, Moses, is not yet notable in term of a separate article. Should the allegations be proven and if he faces criminal charges / convicted / sentenced, then I feel it may be notable and worthy of a separate article. I noticed the hidden section on Moses. Well done and the right decision. Personally, I feel it's appropriate as it is, right now. Should things escalate and there be a strong link between Streetscape and EO, or there be other implications involving MO, then it may be appropriate to unhide. Rangasyd (talk) 04:18, 17 November 2012 (UTC)
I have no problem with that at all. Just concerned that we're including things about his son because the SMH contends EO should be blamed for / linked to his son's businesses. While they may wish to do so, that sort of thing really falls foul of BLP standards here. I really can't see a substantiated WP:V link between the Roozendaal stuff and EO. MO maybe, but... It seems a bit like including criticisms of Charlie Sheen at Martin Sheen. Sins of the father (or son) and all that. Anyway, MO's notability would be marginal, agreed entirely. Just thought it might give us some options for cleaning up the EO article. I too am happy to leave it until there's more coverage. Cheers, Stalwart111 10:54, 17 November 2012 (UTC).
Are you okay if this discussion is moved to Eddie Obeid's talk page? Rangasyd (talk) 08:19, 18 November 2012 (UTC)
Of course; great idea. I'll put a note on my TP too. Would be good to get some comments from others and the EO talk page is the best spot for that. Stalwart111 11:47, 18 November 2012 (UTC)

Port Macquarie-Hastings

Not sure why, but whatever you did to those columns makes them look really odd and scroll way off the screen on my netbook. I wonder if it's possible to fix using that template? The Drover's Wife (talk) 11:29, 29 November 2012 (UTC)

Also does it with Coffs, but not Nambucca. Weird. The Drover's Wife (talk) 11:32, 29 November 2012 (UTC)
I've reduced the column size from 1100 to 800; see how that goes. Rangasyd (talk) 12:50, 29 November 2012 (UTC)
Fixed! Ta. The Drover's Wife (talk) 08:27, 30 November 2012 (UTC)

Would you be able to watch this with some of the longer lists? I notice it's appeared on Hornsby Shire now and it's probably not the only one. The Drover's Wife (talk) 13:26, 6 December 2012 (UTC)

Is this better? I shall keep a watch on width. Rangasyd (talk) 12:43, 7 December 2012 (UTC)
Still goes way off the screen I'm afraid. The Drover's Wife (talk) 01:56, 8 December 2012 (UTC)
