Hello! I see that your user page says that you are a follower of the West Coast Eagles - me too :) If you want to help out with contributing to AFL related articles, you can join WikiProject AFL, where we are organising ourselves to improve the AFL content on Wikipedia.

As a participant of WikiProject AFL I thought you might be interested in this. I have started a vote to get a consensus on the naming convention for AFL season articles. You can participate in the discussion at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject AFL#AFL season article naming convention. Cheers. Remy B 13:28, 16 April 2006 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Hi, just a quick explanation to explain my reverts to your edits to the pages of (in particular) the Chief Justices of Australia. I have made several edits but one example should suffice. When Garfield Barwick retired he was replaced by Harry Gibbs who was already a puisne justice. Although Gerard Brennan is ostensibly appointed because of the vacancy left by Barwick, Barwick is not his predecessor as a puisne justice because Barwick was never a puisne justice. Gibbs is being elevated to replace Barwick as Chief Justice and Brennan is being appointed to replace Gibbs as a puisne justice. Shadow007 11:44, 2 September 2007 (UTC)Reply[reply]

This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot.

For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material; such additions will be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences.

This message was placed automatically, and it is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article and it would be appreciated if you could drop a note on the maintainer's talk page.

Copyright violation

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. We appreciate your contributions to the Michael Black article, but for legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted.

You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words.

If the external website belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must include on the external site the statement "I, (name), am the author of this article, (article name), and I release its content under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License, Version 1.2 and later."

You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question at the "Village pump". You can also leave a message on my talk page. Carlosguitar ^{(Yes Executor?)} 06:39, 9 May 2008 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Hi Doktor Waterhouse,

I'm asking Wikipedians who are interested in United States legal articles to take a look at WP:Hornbook, the new "JD curriculum task force".

Our mission is to assimilate into Wikipedia all the insights of an American law school education, by reducing hornbooks to footnotes.

• Each casebook will have a subpage.

• Over the course of a semester, each subpage will shift its focus to track the unfolding curriculum(s) for classes using that casebook around the country.
• It will also feature an extensive, hyperlinked "index" or "outline" to that casebook, pointing to pages, headers, or ((anchors)) in Wikipedia (example).
• Individual law schools can freely adapt our casebook outlines to the idiosyncratic curriculum devised by each individual professor.

• I'm encouraging law students around the country to create local chapters of the club I'm starting at my own law school, "Student WP:Hornbook Editors". Using WP:Hornbook as our headquarters, we're hoping to create a study group so inclusive that nobody will dare not join.

What you can do now:

1. Add WP:Hornbook to your watchlist, ((User Hornbook)) to your userpage, and ~~~~ to Wikipedia:Hornbook/participants.

2. If you're a law student,

• Email http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WP:Hornbook to your classmates, and tell them to do the same.
• Contact me directly via talk page or email about coordinating a chapter of "Student WP:Hornbook Editors" at your own school.

(You don't have to start the club, or even be involved in it; just help direct me to someone who might.)

3. Introduce yourself to me. Law editors on Wikipedia are a scarce commodity. Do knock on my talk page if there's an article you'd like help on.

The article Alfred Vogel has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Copyright violation of material from http://www.avogel.ch/en/avogel-world/naturarzt_

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the ((dated prod)) notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing ((dated prod)) will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

	The Original Barnstar
	For your excellent research and writing on Stanley Bruce who was a great figure, which the ongoing success of the nation of Australia bears out. You constructively contributed with two other main contributors to the Good Article on the historic figure. Well done! - Adam37 Talk 20:48, 15 July 2013 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Hi Doktor Waterhouse,

You seem to be a fairly knowledgeable and active Wikipedian interested in Australian pages, and you've taken interest before in some of the discussion on the Stanley Bruce page previously. Well its now been through a fair bit of peer review to try and get to FA status, and it is almost there but its nomination to FA status just needs a few more supporting votes to get it over the line. If you were so inclined and wanted to have a look over it and add your support, or review/criticism if it needs more work, that would be really helpful!

Dear User:Doktor Waterhouse

As a member of the "WikiProject Australian rules football" it would be good to hear your opinion on a current debate occurring on the 2018 AFL season talk page.

The debate centres around whether or not a third column should be included in the club attendance table to display "home state games vs. interstate opposition".

The main justification is that Victorian clubs play on average 7 home derbies each year compared to non-victorian clubs who play only 1 home derby each year. This provides an average home figure for Victorian clubs which is inflated as their home games have the fans of other Victorian clubs attending.

Please provide whether you support or oppose this proposal for the third column in AFL Club attendance tables.

An editor has asked for a discussion to address the redirect Kevinism. Since you had some involvement with the Kevinism redirect, you might want to participate in the redirect discussion if you have not already done so. WWGB (talk) 12:26, 5 May 2018 (UTC)Reply[reply]
