Custodian
Hey Matthew, have you considered becoming a custodian? You seem to find a lot of files that need moving, and then you'll be able to move them yourself. 07:46, October 28, 2010 (UTC)

Re:Black unicorn
What would have happened is he would of pressed undo when the ip saved the page and it undid getting rid of the vandalism. 23:32, October 29, 2010 (UTC)
 * No he undid the ip getting rid of the vandalism accidentally, but there wasn't any reason to give him a message because he undid and it was just a problem with wikia having 2 edits at once. 00:08, October 30, 2010 (UTC)

Part
Part allows you to leave a single channel. Unlike "quit" it doesn't force you to leave all channels, it is useful when you only wish to leave a single channel for example when two people spam the IRC with references to Charlie the Unicorn. 07:11, October 30, 2010 (UTC)

Changes to the lives of the Aboriginal people of Australia
Although the British Government and Governor Phillip had good intentions towards the Aboriginal people, life changed dramatically for Aborigines after the arrival of white Europeans on the First Fleet in 1788. One of the greatest changes to Aboriginal life was the introduction of alcohol by the settlers, this new alcohol was much stronger than traditionally brewed drinks and much easier to access as well, and this caused many problems for the next generation of Aborigines whose mothers often drank whilst pregnant. Also, even though European medicine could help the indigenous people, the introduction of new diseases – intentional or not – such as smallpox, caused many deaths and the devastation of the Aboriginal people in the Sydney area. Furthermore, misunderstandings and differences between the European and Aboriginal ways caused many conflicts and deaths for both sides. Finally, malnutrition was another cause of strife for the native population as colonists deforested their surroundings and denied Aborigines access to their native fishing and hunting grounds.

Alcohol affected the Aboriginal people in many ways, especially the Aborigines who ventured into Sydney Town where pubs had been established and alcohol was easy to access. The consumption of alcohol by Aborigines, especially women greatly affected themselves and the next generation. The consumption of alcohol whilst pregnant - which many Aboriginal women did – caused mental and physical defects in their children, which put them at an even greater disadvantage against the Europeans. The colonists also encouraged Aboriginal men to get drunk and start fights with each other; this was considered a sport, many of these fights ended in death for the participants.

The introduction of European diseases to Australia by European colonisation was a highly successful example of biological warfare. The Aboriginal people had no resistance to diseases such as smallpox, typhoid and even flu, which decimated the native population and spread wide across the whole of Australia. With the native population heavily reduced and weakened, the colonists had a much easier job settling and expanding across the country. Although Europeans tried to provide health treatment for ill Aborigines, it was highly ineffective as European medicine was not yet advanced enough to treat these diseases, especially as Aborigines had no immunity at all to these illnesses.

Although the first encounters with Aborigines were friendly and peaceful, conflicts erupted very soon. Almost all of these were because of simple misunderstandings, especially the different views the two races had on the sharing of food, resources and land. The British believed in the concept of “ownership”, which the Aboriginals failed to understand, as they freely shared the land and resources among themselves and the Europeans. However, when the Aborigines tried to “share” the European’s tools or livestock, they were seen as thieves. Initially this was not widespread, but as Europeans took away more land, and with it, the Aborigines food supplies; they were forced to steal to survive. This led to shootings of indigenous people, which led to revenge spearings of the colonists. As the violence escalated, the whites were encouraged to shoot any Aborigines “trespassing” on the settlement, this did nothing to stop the attacks and both sides lost many lives.

With the repossession of land by the white colonists, Aborigines lost many of their hunting and fishing grounds and thus their sources of food and nutrition. Without a means to gather healthy nutritious food, malnutrition became an increasing problem in the Aboriginal communities surrounding the European settlement. Many either starved or were killed trying to steal food to provide for their communities; Europeans also restricted or forbid Aborigines access to traditional hunting grounds for celebrations or annual events.

The good intentions of the British Government and Governor Phillip failed to prevent a massive change in the lives of Aboriginal Australians. The arrival of European colonists brought many benefits and shaped Australia into what it is today. The lives of current and future Aborigines were completely transformed by the arrival of Europeans; even today, Aborigines are still not on equal grounds with the non-native population of Australia in terms of life expectancy, income and education.

Remove when done, this isn't a proper discussion anyway. 09:17, October 31, 2010 (UTC)

UOTM
You know the drill. Good luck! 02:01, November 1, 2010 (UTC)
 * I have nothing to elaborate on. 03:56, November 1, 2010 (UTC)
 * Your edits pertaining to anti-vandalism, community discussions and well, a lot more things are becoming more frequent, for one. There's a lot to say; I don't think you can comprehend. 04:01, November 1, 2010 (UTC)
 * Persistent one, eh? See, that's another plus. You're being bold by doing that. I have seen you frequently keep a cool head in discussions, which has allowed you to succeed in fulfilling the guidelines of many policies. (gee, I'm not good at speeches! ) Your antivandalism is frequent whenever something comes along, you use things such as CVN, and you're also a first response acter! I have yet to see you achieve, but your recent wiki growth has convinced me that you can achieve. I believe in you and the fact that you deserve the title of User of the Month of December 2010. (if you want me to say more, just ask...) 04:16, November 1, 2010 (UTC)
 * Congratulations on 4,300 edits! You're growing at 1,000 edits a month! That's quite a frequency to be working at. I can also see you're using AWB, a skill I find to be helpful to the growth of our wiki. You're only being more helpful over and over again, which is more than the community as a whole can ask for. Now, I know that I can't represent everybody, but I'll still hope for the best with your nomination! I appreciate the helpful, significant things you do, I can't ask for anything more. Hmm... The redundancy and irony in that speech... I'll need to work harder. 04:33, November 1, 2010 (UTC)

Vandals
Probably better to avoid the word "plox" if you are trying to be serious. (Which I hope you are with vandals). 04:35, November 1, 2010 (UTC)
