Cleanup[edit]I had a bit of a cleanup of this page. As much as I like stuff, some things were cluttering up the joint.Macr237 03:09, 13 August 2007 (UTC) Nice article. Welcome to Wiki. I'll put a big welcome thing on your page in a moment. But first I want to give you a little award for the work you have done on the James Squire article. Promises very well for the future. Keep up the good work! SilkTork 12:06, 8 August 2007 (UTC) Good on yer! SilkTork 08:43, 11 August 2007 (UTC) Newcastle articles[edit]Good work with those! I've been making infoboxes for a whole bunch of Central Coast/Lake Mac/Newcastle suburbs so if you see me drift through your watchlist, it's just the standards crew at work. If you have any questions or need anything feel free to drop a note on my talk page. Orderinchaos 16:35, 12 August 2007 (UTC)
William Redfern - a convict transported to Australia[edit]Hi Macr, are you sure William Redfern was not a convict who was transported to Australia? You recently removed him from the "Category:Convicts transported to Australia". According to the ADB ref. he was convicted of mutiny in 1797 and sent to New South Wales in 1801. He was pardoned in 1803, so would have been regarded as a convict until then. The DAB reference states that "...the sentence was altered to transportation for life." (my italics). If you have evidence that he was not a convict, not transported or not sent to Australia, please provide a reference, thanks. – Diverman 18:40, 25 August 2007 (UTC)
Hi and thanks for your update of the above article. However, you need to be careful about what edits you class as minor edits. For example, this edit would not be seen by most editors as a minor edit. See WP:MINOR for more details on when to class an edit as minor. -- Mattinbgn\ talk 01:14, 28 August 2007 (UTC)
Ahead of you :)[edit]Already did earlier on. Got him for 24 hours as it's an IP address that may be used by a number of users, so tomorrow's 124. might be someone else.

Unfortunately I went there on two different days and that was the best image I could get on either day. I was going to Stockton on Sunday but ran out of time and it was nice and sunny when I wasn't there. Then, yesterday I was about to drive down to Stockton to try again and as I was leaving storm clouds started to appear so I headed up to Glen Oak instead where it was nice and sunny. I think something is deliberately trying to stop me from getting a good picture but I thought the image I had was good enough. After all, the main aim is to show the city and it does that. Still, if i can get a better one I'll upload it. --AussieLegend 02:47, 4 September 2007 (UTC)

It sounds like Newcastle train station. The Customs house, which has a clock tower has a grassed area out the front and across the road is the train station with the bus station beside it, but I can't remember how long the bus station has been there. It used to be across from Newcastle beach, but I can't think of the clock tower. Another bus station is the depot at Hamilton. If you have a scanned version of it, send it to me and I will see if I recognise it. macr237_at_gmail.com. You can obviously work out what needs changing in that address. -- Macr237 22:25, 5 September 2007 (UTC) Everything seems sorted out there now. You OK?

Beer category decision[edit]A discussion has been opened on changes that have been made to the existing Beer category system. The changes reverse the decision made by the Project in April 2006. The changes were based on agreement by only two people, and by a discussion that took place outside the Beer Project. There may be some merit in the changes, and to prevent future conflict it is important that there is some discussion of the matter. If you're interested, please see Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Beer#Brewery_cats. SilkTork *YES! 15:50, 14 July 2008 (UTC) AACo House[edit]Very interesting. I wonder if you can see it on Google Street View? --AussieLegend (talk) 14:32, 21 August 2008 (UTC) The Hill and stuff[edit]Funnily enough, I only put The Hill back on my watchlist yesterday. I was bored so I was looking at articles I had edited in the past and the first thing I noticed was that silly claim about property values. I put the article on my watchlist intending to update it later on. Your tag was what prompted me to update it. It's a fairly simple process for me now as I developed a template/cheatsheet while updating the Port Stephens Council related articles. I just change a few things and voila! (sort of) I think the obverse photo of the tower is the best for the article but I'm going to leave it for now as the images you've added look like a good start for a section on prominent landmarks in the area so I'm going to do a bit of research first. The seems to have quite a few landmarks compared to other suburbs. Did you know that Nesca Park used to be a dam? My mother nearly drowned there. As for your argument with you, I found it quite interesting. It answered a few questions that I've asked over the years. --AussieLegend (talk) 11:34, 21 January 2009 (UTC) Victorian architcture[edit]
TINA2011[edit]![]() Wikimedia is at TINA. Come along any time today to participate in an interactive visual workshop about Wikis. Bring along your photographs and stories to participate in creation and editing of Wikipedia content. We're planning a meetup for dinner this evening, so signup and watchlist Wikipedia:Meetup/Newcastle/TINA2011. --John Vandenberg (chat) 21:14, 2 October 2011 (UTC) Toll Holdings[edit]The image you suggested for the Toll Holdings page is excellent. Would you be able to add it to the Wikimedia Commons via http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:UploadWizard and add it to the Toll Holdings Page? Brycewhite (talk) 02:54, 27 August 2013 (UTC) Hi, Speedy deletion of File:Last Will of James Squire.pdf[edit]![]() New Challenge for Oceania and Australia[edit]Hi, Wikipedia:WikiProject Oceania/The 10,000 Challenge and Wikipedia:WikiProject Australia/The 5000 Challenge are up and running based on Wikipedia:The 10,000 Challenge which has currently produced over 2300 article improvements and creations. The Australia challenge would feed into the wider region one and potentially New Zealand could have a smaller challenge too. The main goal is content improvement, tackling stale old stubs and important content and improving sourcing/making more consistent but new articles are also welcome if sourced. I understand that this is a big goal for regular editors, especially being summertime where you are, but if you'd like to see large scale quality improvements happening for Oceania and Australia like The Africa Destubathon, which has produced over 1700 articles in 5 weeks, sign up on the page. The idea will be an ongoing national editathon/challenge for the region but fuelled by a series of contests to really get articles on every province and subject mass improved. The Africa contest scaled worldwide would naturally provide great benefits to Oceania countries, particularly Australia and attract new editors. I would like some support from existing editors here to get the Challenges off to a start with some articles to make doing a Destubathon worthwhile and potentially bring about hundreds of improvements in a few weeks through a contest!
