Welcome and can you help?

Hi Rick69p and welcome to Wikipedia:WikiProject Australian places. A few of us are working on the Wagga Wagga, New South Wales article at the moment to get it up to Good article standard. I would like to include an IPA pronunciation for Wagga Wagga in the article and I note that on your user page that you understand the IPA alphabet. Any help you could give would be much appreciated. -- Mattinbgn/ ^talk 11:09, 14 May 2007 (UTC)

Hi Mattinbgn. As you can see I'm kind of new at this. Actually I'm glad you asked me about the IPA because it led me to check IPA on here and I discovered that what I'm familiar with is the NATO phonetic alphabet (which according to the International Phonetic Alphabet article is informally called the International Phonetic Alphabet!) and not the IPA itself. To be honest I always believed it to be a truely International system and not one restricted to the North Atlantic, as the term NATO would suggest. Learn something new every day, huh? So unfortunately I'm probably not familiar with what you're trying to find out or I would have told you Wagga Wagga is Wiskey-Alpha-Golf-Golf-Alpha Wiskey-Alpha-Golf-Golf-Alpha, something you most likely wouldn't need me to tell you. So now I'm going to remove that IPA user box from my page, thank you for indirectly informing me of my error and apologise for being unable to help. (And walk away with a red face!) -- Rick69p 13:44, 14 May 2007 (UTC)

Thanks anyway. Cheers, Mattinbgn/ ^talk 20:09, 14 May 2007 (UTC)

New Challenge for Oceania and Australia

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!
