Dropping Clangers edit

Howdy, and welcome from me too. I like your addition to The Clangers - I never knew that (whoever wrote the parody's text was spot-on). Keep up the good work! -- Finlay McWalter 01:54, 27 Jan 2004 (UTC)

Goodness Gracious Me edit

Hmm. You may well be right about it being a stereotypical Indian English phrase -- I can't say for sure whether that is so. In fact, the record (which of course resulted from a film) is so old that I can't remember anything earlier than that. Did they use the song for the signature tune of the TV series?

Hi Zuytdorp Survivor, welcome to Wikipedia. Please consider adding yourself to Wikipedia:Wikipedians/Australia. -- Tim Starling 03:36, Feb 4, 2004 (UTC)


Hey, ZS, do you think the original survivors might have gone to live with the Aborigines? You might be amused by the photo of me currently on my user page, if you haven't seen it. heidimo 15:51, 26 Apr 2004 (UTC)

No copyright issues. If there were, I'd have blanked the page. It's pretty good really, just needs a bit of fleshing out (i.e. some sections are a little short). Ambivalenthysteria 03:29, 20 Jun 2004 (UTC)
heh, I think the MICF edit was busiest ... during the festival when enthusiasm was high. Perhaps next year people will fill out those sections! Zuytdorp Survivor 03:35, 20 Jun 2004 (UTC)
That's why it's on the open tasks list! As there's not all that much that needs doing, I'll probably get around to it in the next week or so, if no one else does. Ambivalenthysteria 03:37, 20 Jun 2004 (UTC)

Re: Melbourne International Comedy Festival (& Greek Art?) edit

Pages with copyvios in their history are a problem which I was trying to decrease. I posted the page history prior to deletion on the relevant talk page - not a great solution, but the only one available, and better, IMO, than leaving copyright violations in Wikipedia. It would be great if there was a way of deleting individual edits, but there isn't; it'd be better still if people would read and follow the instructions in the copyvio notice, and edit a temp page as instructed. -- Jim Regan 00:41, 4 Jul 2004 (UTC)
