When adding to talk pages, it's always a good idea to add your text at the bottom, not the top, otherwise people will not realise it's new.
Welcome to Wikipedia, by the way! Please feel free to ask any questions you might have. —Morven 02:00, 12 Mar 2004 (UTC)
Hi Julian, nice to see another Brisbanite join the project. - Gaz 00:56, 18 Apr 2004 (UTC)
Sorry[edit]
Sorry I steeped on your toes (is that expression used in Australia) on the US in the Criminal Court item. I'll add back the "criticized" comment (though if you refuse to participate, I would assume "criticize" is implied). BTW, I've always wanted to visit your country, but really really long planes trips turn me off. Cheers! -- Cecropia 05:16, 6 May 2004 (UTC)

Hi!
I'm assuming this image was released as a GFDL, but would be so kind as to clarify the license it is released under? Thanks! - Amgine 02:02, 3 Dec 2004 (UTC)
Article Licensing[edit]
Hi, I've started a drive to get users to multi-license all of their contributions that they've made to either (1) all U.S. state, county, and city articles or (2) all articles, using the Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike (CC-by-sa) v1.0 and v2.0 Licenses or into the public domain if they prefer. The CC-by-sa license is a true free documentation license that is similar to Wikipedia's license, the GFDL, but it allows other projects, such as WikiTravel, to use our articles. Since you are among the top 2000 Wikipedians by edits, I was wondering if you would be willing to multi-license all of your contributions or at minimum those on the geographic articles. Over 90% of people asked have agreed. For More Information:
- Multi-Licensing FAQ - Lots of questions answered
- Multi-Licensing Guide
- Free the Rambot Articles Project
To allow us to track those users who muli-license their contributions, many users copy and paste the "{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}" template into their user page, but there are other options at Template messages/User namespace. The following examples could also copied and pasted into your user page:
- Option 1
- I agree to [[Wikipedia:Multi-licensing|multi-license]] all my contributions, with the exception of my user pages, as described below:
- {{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}
OR
- Option 2
- I agree to [[Wikipedia:Multi-licensing|multi-license]] all my contributions to any [[U.S. state]], county, or city article as described below:
- {{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}
Or if you wanted to place your work into the public domain, you could replace "{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}" with "{{MultiLicensePD}}". If you only prefer using the GFDL, I would like to know that too. Please let me know what you think at my talk page. It's important to know either way so no one keeps asking. -- Ram-Man (comment| talk)
Hi, I thought you might be interested to know that the Sunday Times Golden Globe Race article is up for FAC. If you like, I'd welcome your comments on the FAC review page. — Johan the Ghost seance 16:51, 26 April 2006 (UTC)
Sailing Wiki[edit]
Hi Julian,
My name is johnsee and I'm trying to track down people keen on both sailing and wiki's to help with a new collborative sailing wiki. It's CC licensed, and a community project (mostly of sailing bloggers) and completely non profit. If I could interest you in helping out the wiki is here. If not, I apologise for stealing a few lines of room on your talk page :)
(On a side note I'm from Brisbane :D, do you manage to sail round here much any more?)
peer review[edit]
Can you please review my article HSV Senator Signature so I can get some valuable feedback from you.

Wikimedians to the Games[edit]
I'd like to invite you to participate Wikimedians to the Games :) It is a great opportunity to help improve Australian related content, and potentially to travel to attend the second biggest sporting event of the year. As you're an existing Wikipedian editor, you should have some advantage because you should know how to contribute and improve articles already. :) If you get to a certain point threshold, there is also a possiblity to travel to Canberra to attend a workshop at the Australian Institute of Sport. --LauraHale (talk) 10:05, 16 January 2012 (UTC)

Re: YOMP[edit]
Julian,
Were you the originator of the article defining 'Yomp'?
The article says that the origin of the word is unclear. If you were the originator may I offer a theory? When I first joined the RN 'yomp' meant to eat, with the implication 'greedily' (onomatopoeia). See also 'nom nom nom' and 'noms'. I think it possible, given it's appearance post 1982, that a journalist may have interviewed a Bootie asking how the the Royal Marines would cope with the advance and received the reply to the effect that they would 'eat up' the miles, the interviewee using the word yomp or saying 'we'll yomp it'. It is, of course, also possible that it was a very speedy back-formation but the connection between a hard march leading to 'eating' greedily seems less likely.
The use of the word to mean eating is shown independently online in the Urban Dictionary. See http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=yomp para 3.2
I am not convinced of the acronym suggestion for yomp meaning 'your own marching pace'. English is littered with such red herrings. See 'fuck'.

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

Speedy deletion nomination of File:Point of sail.png[edit]
A tag has been placed on File:Point of sail.png requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the image is an unused redundant copy (all pixels the same or scaled down) of an image in the same file format, which is on Wikipedia (not on Commons), and all inward links have been updated.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.
