Toyota Aurion[edit]

Hey Senators, I have set up the talk page for the Toyota Aurion complete with Miszabot archiving, and the 'to do' list. Anything else? HarrisonB Speak! 02:35, 14 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

No it is OK, the weather has suddenly become hot, I am expecting some storms in Ipswich where I live.Senators^{Talk | Contribs} 03:35, 14 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Great, it is all good. It is very windy and humid where I live, on the Central Coast of NSW. HarrisonB Speak! 04:04, 14 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I think there are storms coming thereSenators^{Talk | Contribs} 07:35, 14 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah there were. HarrisonB Speak! 08:35, 14 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Toyota Aurion pictures[edit]

Hello Senators, long time no see. I have found some photos on flickr like [1], [2], [3] and [4]. What do you think?

HarrisonB Speak! 10:03, 27 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I have seen the pictures and I will give you comments below

- Picture one is not good because it displays people with the car, it is rare to have people in a encyclopedic picture, the same is with picture 4.

- Picture two is very good but I don't think we need a picture for the back of the car. Ask OSX with this one.

- Picture four maybe useful but check with OSX on this one.

I hope I have been helpful.Senators^{Talk | Contribs} 00:19, 28 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Do people really matter? HarrisonB Speak! 05:09, 28 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The majority of images on wikipedia do not have people in them because there is no need for it and it also disrupts the view of the car in the picture. If the article is really desperate for a picture then a picture with people in it would be good, but because we are not desperate then there is no need to have a picture with people in it. This link here may answer some questions for you.

P.S - I like the work you have done to the specification section in the Aurion article.Senators^{Talk | Contribs} 23:56, 28 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, I understand now. Also, thankyou for your compliment on my work in the 'Specifications' section. Much appreciated. I was trying to emulate your work on the BA Falcon article. HarrisonB Speak! 03:19, 29 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I think the article is ready to be nominated for GA status. Me you and several other experienced wikipedia users have contributed to it.Senators^{Talk | Contribs} 00:26, 5 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

RE: Bathurst on the Weekend[edit]

Yes, it is good that Ford had a 1-2-3 finish; and Lowndes is also my favourite driver. I always thought that you were a Holden man :) BTW check out my talk page, it seems that there is a problem with the Aurion article. HarrisonB Speak! 10:49, 7 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

RE:More info for watse of money and time Holden Suburban[edit]

Hi Senators, thanks for noticing the conversation on OSX's talk page; and thanks for showing me that article on 'CarPoint'. BTW do you like the new look of my page and signature? I spraned my ankle on Wednesday and I had alot of spare time on my hands, so I just revamped it and got rid of the un-necesary parts. HarrisonB - Conributions 03:44, 21 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hey there Senators,

I liked your writing and would like to contact you by email. To be honest, I'm a beginner and I'd have no idea how to navigate to this page again. Can you email me at kness2 at hotmail?

Several comments[edit]

RE:Pics are coming[edit]

Hey Senators. It is great that you will be able to contribute with photos soon, I have also had a decent camera on my handset, but the problem is when you live in suburbia; there aren't too many Aurions out there. HarrisonB - Conributions 06:26, 5 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Happy wikibirthday![edit]

Happy First Edit Day Senators/Archive5, from HarrisonB! Have a great day!

Wow, I am so honoured! Thankyou, I will display the barnstar on my userpage with the utmost of pride. Thankyou :) HarrisonB - Conributions 08:49, 7 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Not available from 14-11-07 to 16-11-07[edit]

Hello Senators/Archive5, I will not be available to edit for the next couple of days due to being on a school camp. Hopefully the Toyota Aurion article will not pass for GA at this time ;) Anyway, feel free to leave comments but I will not be able to answer them until Friday night on the 16^th. Kudos HarrisonB - Conributions 20:25, 12 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I hate camps

Hehehe :), I think most people would agree with you. I think that it is not the activities that are bad, it is the horrendous food that the supposed cooks serve. HarrisonB - Conributions 09:54, 13 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I am back, very sore and tired but still on Wikipedia :) HarrisonB - Conributions 07:45, 16 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

RE:New pics should be coming[edit]

They are great, but have a read of the previous discussion on my talk page regarding the names of pictures uploaded on to wiki, and it is also advisable to upload them on Commons as well. Great pictures though, where did you get them from e.g yor car etc. HarrisonB - Conributions 03:43, 24 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

New VE SS Commodore[edit]

Nice!!! What colour? I envy you; my dream car is a BMW 335i Coupe, but I also wish I had an SS. What car do you have now? —Preceding unsigned comment added by HarrisonB (talk • contribs) 05:16, 28 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

At the current time we have a 2006 Holden VZ Commodore SVZ which is a red colour(as seen in those pics I added). The new commo is black.Senators^{Talk | Contribs} 05:51, 28 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Huh, the 'new Commo' is the same colour as our Liberty. I love the colour black, makes a car look more expensive especially after a wash and polish. You should get the silver racing stripes along the top :) BTW congrats on finishing Yr11. HarrisonB - Conributions 06:02, 28 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

RE: Good News[edit]

Great! I can't wait to see those pictures. The reason that I have been wikibonked (I am not anymore) is because I have a very hectic year and was really tired at the end of it; too tired to edit. Now I am working on building Portal: Australian Cars (I know that we don't have enough articles yet but I am creating it to save time for later by leaving it 'under construction').

Yeah, I am in school; I just finished Year 8 so I am a couple years younger than you. I also have heard of Top Gear (one of my favourite shows) but I haven't heard of the Australina version :) WOW!

Welcome back to Wikipedia, I hope your holiday refreshed you and gave you many stories to tell.

New project articles[edit]

Marion, Illinois Tornado Outbreak- Featured as a "Did you know" article on the Main Page
List of May 2003 Tornado Outbreak Sequence tornadoes (split from the main article)
2008 Vancouver tornado- Details the recent abnormal tornado in Vancouver, Washington
Barneveld, Wisconsin tornado outbreak- Details a destructive tornado outbreak that hit areas of Wisconsin in 1984.
January 2008 Tornado Outbreak Sequence-Details the recent tornado outbreak (see section below)

Featured story[edit]

This featured story focuses on the relative WikiWork for this project. The relative WikiWork is the measure of how lose a project is to having every article featured. It is a complex calculation;

ω = a + 2g + 3b + 4s + 5t

where a is A-class articles, g is GA-class articles, b is B-class articles, s is start-class articles, and t is stub-class articles.

Thus, the closer you are to 0 (zero), the closer you are to having every article featured. The WikiWork number for every class is added, then divided by the number of articles, similar to averaging, and it is found that the relative WikiWork for this project is Ω = 4.182. Ω is a symbol for the relative WikiWork factor. That is not the best number, as we are closer to 5 than we are to 0, and we are very close to 5. This means that the majority of the articles in the project are either stub, or start. That is what we need to change. So, while more severe weather articles are good, we should try not to publish as many stub class, and fewer start class articles.

User:CrazyC83 - One of the most active (if not the most) members in recent tornado activity coverage and monitoring. Recent examples of this includes the February-March 2007 Tornado Outbreak in Alabama and Missouri, the May 2007 Tornado Outbreak in Kansas and Oklahoma and the January 2008 Tornado Outbreak Sequence in Missouri, Wisconsin, Arkansas, Mississippi and Alabama. Had also made coverage in non-article tornado events such as the New Orleans tornado event on February 13, 2007 and the tornado event associated with the Superstorm of December 16, 2007. User:CrazyC83 made numerous edits, more than one hundred, to 2008 Super Tuesday tornado outbreak.

Significant storms[edit]

Significant storms last month included the outbreak in the United States in early to mid-January that produced 71 tornadoes and killed three people. Several tornado emergencies were issued in association with supercells during this outbreak. This outbreak was very similar to a classic spring severe weather outbreak, but extending farther north than even most late season outbreaks. The hardest hit areas on January 7 were the Springfield, Missouri metropolitan area and areas immediately to the north of Chicago, three people were killed near Springfield throughout the Southwestern Missouri Ozarks. On January 8, my area, the Tri-State region of Evansville, Indiana, was hit with the tornado outbreak. Only a few funnel clouds were reported in my area. Most tornadoes of the day were confined to the Memphis, Tennessee area and Eastern Arkansas, where one person was killed. On January 9 only a few wind and hail reports were received^[1]. On January 10, however, the action started back up. More tornadic storms developed across the Southern United States, including several significant storms that produced tornadoes. These tornadoes severely damaged rual towns in Mississippi, Alabama, and Georgia. The most notable of these tornadoes was reported in Lamar County, Alabama where 1 person was injured as several buildings were destroyed in this EF-3 tornado.

Five more deaths (three by tornadoes and two by straight-line winds) were reported on January 29 from a series of scattered tornadoes and a serial derecho across the Ohio Valley stretching south into Arkansas.^[2]

Replaceable fair use Image:PeugeotHoggar.jpg[edit]

Replaceable fair use

Thanks for uploading Image:PeugeotHoggar.jpg. I noticed the description page specifies that the media is being used under a claim of fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first non-free content criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this media is not replaceable, please:

Go to the media description page and edit it to add {{di-replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original replaceable fair use template.
On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per our non-free content policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Do you want to opt out of receiving this notice? Rettetast (talk) 15:45, 28 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

People ganging up to disrupt an article[edit]

Hi,

I found you at Wikipedia:Editor assistance. If you can spare a few minutes of your time helping out at Indo-Aryan loanwords in Tamil, I would be thankful.

I am developing an article on words borrowed by Tamil from Indo-Aryan languages. I am citing a standard authoritative lexicon from which I find the words that are borrowed before including them at Indo-Aryan loanwords in Tamil. There are a few people who seem to be intent in damaging the article by adding "cite" tags, "disputed" and "dubious" tags for the article and threatening to delete it within 24 hours.

Could you please help?

Thanks. Kris (talk) 19:09, 27 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
