I'll certainly redo the colouring to match in the two diagrams. The scale thing I am less sure of, as 1000 mm is quite close in size to 1067 mm, even in real life, nevermind on a scaled-down diagram! As I said, the existing diagram already exaggerates the difference. What I could do is add the measurements of the white space (427 mm or whatever, and 3XX mm) in italics or something. As far as labelling goes, it's usual policy not to label diagrams where unnecessary, as they are often used in multiple languages and the added captions are searchable/voice-readable. As there are three separate colours, each description in the caption can be linked easily with the diagram (e.g. Green here is the standard gauge). Besides, the numbers sufficiently distinguish which is which! Regards, User:Zoney ♣ User talk:Zoney 17:45, 19 Sep 2004 (UTC) ---- What makes you think the term "ballot access" is ever used in Australia? Also please try and observe the structure of articles and not insert facts at random. User:Adam Carr 15:02, 1 Oct 2004 (UTC) No they didn't. User:Adam Carr 01:50, 2 Oct 2004 (UTC) == Thanks! == Thanks for the compliment on Torrens Title! - User:Aaronhill 14:18, Oct 2, 2004 (UTC) == approval voting == Hello! I'm sorry to report that I've moved your approval voting text to the talk page. How about joining me there so we can work on seeing what to integrate back into the article? -- User:Kowey 09:00, 16 Oct 2004 (UTC) :Syd1435, please read the writeup on Instant Runoff Voting as well as the writeup on Condorcet method for an explanation of IRV's flaws, and a demonstration of why IRV has major tactical voting problems when a third party candidate reaches a level of popularity where it is possible that they could be elected. The point to take home here is that approval voting isn't perfect, but it is better than first past the post, and a good first step towards a true Condorcet method for elections. Instead of Instant Runoff Voting, perhaps you would approve of a ranked choice ballot, counted with Condorcet method? (these comments were also posted on the talk page of Approval Voting) User:McCart42 20:51, 2005 Mar 9 (UTC) == warrimoo == there are two warrimoo's with different postcodes according to the dept. of local government. please look at my response on talk:Ku-ring-gai Shire User:Clarkk 07:40, 24 Oct 2004 (UTC) == Re: House of Representatives of Puerto Rico == Usually 27, but there may be more if a party holds too many seats. For example, right now there are 28 senators. ( 8 districts * 2 senators/district ) + 11 senators by accumulation = 16 + 11 = 27. Correct, 51. Yes, it is some sort of an "at large" election. Basically, people just vote for whichever they want as Representative by accumulation. Those 11 with most of the votes go to the House and serve as representatives. They have the same powers, the only difference is that they were elected by everyone, not just by voters from a certain district. Just read the Constitution of Puerto Rico, we have it on WikiSource: [http://wikisource.org/wiki/Constitution_of_the_Commonwealth_of_Puerto_Rico] Obviously all of this should be explained in the article, but I'm a lazy bastard. User:Joseph Dwayne —User:Joseph Dwayne | User talk:Joseph Dwayne 03:10, Oct 28, 2004 (UTC) == tomruen == Hi - I got your message on my home page; **** AU Senate voting paper Would Tomruen be ever so kind as to go to the Preferential Voting page and convert the sample AU Senate Ballot paper into a nice graph? Syd1435 13:15, 2004 Oct 3 (UTC) ************ What do you suggest? I've not seen the AU Senate Ballot paper. There's a picture for the house at: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Ac.howtovote.jpg I've not done anything special with my simple drawings, but I'd be glad to help if you'd like to tell me what you want. Tom Ruen ==Morpeth rail crash== I was a bit dubious about a seperate article for the Clapham Junction rail crash, though we seem to have created a rather good page in a very short space of time. But I have issues with the Morpeth article, including: # It references crashes but gives no details # Are you /sure/ there are no warnings of the curve? I'd have expected there would be speed restriction signs. So, err, do you have any more details of the crashes at Morpeth? And do we think it encyclopaic to say that Morpeth is an accident waiting to happen? (On a personal note, I travel through Morpeth twice a week on a GNER train, and am well aware of the braking that goes on to get around the bend ... so far, in about 1,000 journies, we've not fallen off the embankment...) --User:Tagishsimon User_talk:Tagishsimon :I'm kinda with you all the way on this one, except that if the article is called Morpeth rail crash, one expects to be able to read something about an actual crash; not information that there have ben crashes (which we are not describing) or that we expect there will soon be one. May I urge yuo as a matter of urgency to flesh out some details about the actual crashes that have occurred there, please. Ta. --User:Tagishsimon User_talk:Tagishsimon ::Although I suppose I could get my finger out ;) :::: Google was my friend [http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=%2Bmorpeth+%2Brail+%2Bcrash&btnG=Google+Search]! Though the magnet doodab now makes the story somewhat incorrect. Would you mind grooming it, since you have the safety system knowledge I lack. Morpeth rail crash. --User:Tagishsimon User_talk:Tagishsimon == Yorkshire railway lines == You edited my articles on railway lines to be in category:Railway lines, however to be consistent with the 'category:London's railways' articles they should probably be under 'category:Yorkshires' railways' or 'category:Leeds railways' since they are all railways which run through Leeds ==Ministries== If you're going to add dates to all the ministries please write them like this:
1 January, 1901.
That's the standard Wikipedia style for Australian articles. ==Harmelen train disaster== Hi Syd. No, sorry, I don't have any more information about the Dutch ATB train protection system -- I'm more knowledgable about the British systems! -- User:Arwel Parry 13:00, 1 Dec 2004 (UTC) ==Railway disasters== Would you be able to put the country and location (with link, preferably) in each article? With many of them, I'm not even sure which country it occurred in. User:Ambi 09:39, 2 Dec 2004 (UTC) ==Cincinnati City Council election results== I just noticed that you posted a note in the discussion page for Election Results, City Council of Cincinnati, Ohio -- :One? Nine? Something inbetween? I'm not sure I understand what you're asking. If you could elaborate, maybe I could help answer. User:Acsenray == Article Licensing == Hi, I've User:rambot#Free the Rambot Articles project to get users to Wikipedia:Multi-licensing 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 Creative Commons 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 Wikipedia:List_of_Wikipedians_by_number_of_edits 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: *User talk:Ram-Man#Multi-Licensing FAQ - Lots of questions answered *Wikipedia:Multi-licensing *User:rambot#Free the Rambot Articles project To allow us to track those users who muli-license their contributions, many users copy and paste the "" template into their user page, but there are other options at Wikipedia:Template messages/User namespace#Licensing Templates. The following examples could also copied and pasted into your user page: :Option 1 :I agree to Wikipedia:Multi-licensing all my contributions, with the exception of my user pages, as described below: : OR :Option 2 :I agree to Wikipedia:Multi-licensing all my contributions to any U.S. state, county, or city article as described below: : Or if you wanted to place your work into the public domain, you could replace "" with "". If you only prefer using the GFDL, I would like to know that too. ''Please let me know'' what you think at my User talk:Ram-Man. It's important to know either way so no one keeps asking. -- User:Ram-Man ([http://en.wikipedia.org/w/wiki.phtml?title=User_talk:Ram-Man&action=edit§ion=new comment]| User talk:Ram-Man
