Where is australia wikianswers

Are you a candy, cake, or pie person? What is your favorite? I am leaning more towards candy no mint! But I love chocolate! Can I be a chocolate person? I love drawing and computer artwork. I made the WikiMilitary pictures on Photoshop from a picture of the orange guy for the badges and I also made personalized banners with the WikiAnswers badges! I also love writing and knitting, but I have a short attention span and I never finish anything!

What is one quirky or interesting random fact about you that most people may not know? My first word was uh-oh, I love Wallace and Gromit, and I did Kindy early school by correspondence because I was traveling around Australia in a bus when I was 3 and 4. I did karate in reception the grade before grade one but did not make it to white belt! In the Australian Air Force Cadets, I love doing drill marching when no one else does and like most cadets I love fieldcraft camping and learning stealth skills!

You have probably already realized this! And last, but definitely not least, I know you have heard that saying millions of times I am a confirmed WikiHolic. I relate to most of the symptoms on the list! I just realized the question said one fact…whoops! You are commenting using your WordPress.

How did you discover Answers. What is your favorite activity on the site? Least favorite? Do you have a favorite category? I have raced motorcycles, automobiles stock cars and have or had family in Nascar and the top levels of Motocross. I have three journeyman cards with many other job exposures. From these experiences I have the honor of Supervising Hobbies and Collectibles and most of the Racing categories.

This question is a hard one to answer. However, Vandal Patrol is very gratifying because you can eliminate those people who are only there to soil the purity of the site.

Meeting like-minded people ranks way up there, but in the end it would have to be helping people. I learned that the most dedicated actually have a sense of humor. My Mentor taught me this important fact. I always thought the dedicated were too serious and lacked the fun side of life, but he proved this to be a fallacy. He is a multi-talented individual with many facets to his personality, the best of which is his humor. He has this innate ability to know when to be serious and when to be funny and through him I have met a bevy of people who make this site tons of fun.

I can, at times, be obsessive. For awhile I answered all questions by way of knowledge or research in Wood Crafts. I was quite proud of myself until I learned there were Wood Craft questions all over the site. They were simply categorized incorrectly or not categorized at all. So my little category went from a few hundred to several thousand. As far as my artwork, I like making or creating one-of-a-kind things that are different than most things you see. I like to stretch the norm, so to speak.

But sometimes there are those who shine so brightly, they could be mistaken for royalty! One person who really, honestly and truly deserves more than three cheers is our fantabulous Mezzra. On the site since only December , this force to be reckoned with has already accomplished the impossible: just under 90, contributions, 50 hours as a Vandal Patrol Site Guardian and winning a Honorable Mention WAmmy.

What can I say? All hail Mezzra! Upon opening the link, I was faced with two things; a good answer, but terrible grammar. So I got stuck right in and signed up! Checking grammar my personal pet peeve soon earned by around 1, Contribution Points in a period of a few days, and on Christmas Eve, I had the Super powers!

My username is just something I saw one day on another site and nicked. Basically, helping others out. It really gives me a kick and brings me back here day-after-day. That and the fact there are tons of questions that are just…urgh. So I fix those up! Without wanting to sound big-headed, the Catch-alls. Without the category I would go absolutely mad! Reverting has always been of interest to me. I just love the fact that the system remembers all of the previous answers and with two clicks you can have an old, excellent answer that has been vandalized.

Other than the fact that I love English, both language and literature. Delltechie — who had this to say about our beloved Answers. Who knew there were so many poets spread amongst our ever-growing community of WikiAnswers supervisors? He explains that the following piece symbolizes how our quest for knowledge can cut both ways as we live our lives.

Okay, we need to set the record straight — once and for all. Rob uses his diverse and in-depth legal experience to carefully watch over areas such as Lawsuits , Probate , Consumer Liability , Declaration of Independence and US Government. A true Irish gentleman, when he is not busy wiki-ing in his favorite categories, you can find him actively helping the WikiAnswers.

I had a question about fixing a car problem and had been through several sites before coming across WikiAnswers. It had an automobile category, which gave me some good ideas on fixing the problem. The problem was very specific and even the true automotive sites had no answer.

While there was no answer relating to this particular car, there were answers to the problem with other cars so I did get the help I needed. This indirect answer also convinced me that I did not have to keep looking for the exact answer for the exact car.

WA confirmed that it had my answer and that no further looking was needed. And that is just as good as getting the answer itself. Since my first name is Robert and I am Irish, the name felt like a natural, because it linked me, my heritage and WikiAnswers. The name is a bit hard to pronounce and sometimes even harder to type in when signing on.

Someone at WA knew what to do to hook people into contributing time. Everyone has something to offer, so when I got help on the car problem, I looked at some other categories, realized I could contribute some answers and help someone just as I was helped. After enjoying answering some questions, WA invited me to join the volunteer Supervisor team and I was very flattered.

At that point, I no longer felt like an individual answering random questions, but more like part of a family of other Supervisors all dedicated to making the site more than just a warehouse of knowledge. Being part of that common purpose keeps me coming back. Law and legal matters, especially wills, estates and probate, are my main areas. I had served as the legal advisor in a probate court in New Jersey and was involved in all aspects, contested and uncontested, of every type of probate matter.

After that my practice was devoted strictly to that area. I now prefer municipal legal matters, but the probate experiences will always be with me. I love the game of chess and love to answer basic questions on strategy and history, hoping that I am encouraging someone to take up the game seriously.

The Supervisors Forum. It is like the evening dinner table where we all discuss our experiences both in WA and in our private lives. Without it, the site would not keep improving and the other Supervisors would not form a community. My favorite and most fun experience on WikiAnswers. If you would like to read it, you can find it at this location.

I hope you enjoy it if you do read it. We put what we like to call a people parade on the street, because we mostly feature marchers from civic groups, schools and Irish organizations. While we do keep vehicles to a minimum, we have had a truly unique feature, which is a NJ State Police helicopter flying over the State Police Blue and Gold Pipe and Drum band in time with the band as it marched down the street.

That advantage is not about small incidents with the appearance of conflict of interest, which may excite some critics. As I tell them: don't think small.

Rather, the goodwill and social capital that can be harvested is an immense business asset. If any other wiki company and they do exist had launched such a confusingly named site, they would likely have been harshly mocked and derided as trying to be a parasite off the name recognition of an already existing site. But the journalistic impulse to frame so much involving wiki sites through the prism of Wikipedia and its hype helps to insulate Wikia from an appropriate analysis of its actions as a startup business.

And monetary imperatives have a way of overriding everything else, especially in recessionary times. What's legal is not the same as what's ethical. Trademark law is not the same as morality.

In my opinion, Wikia's relaunch of its site using the name Wikianswers is sleazy and unethical in the face of the far more well-known and successful Answers. What's in a name? Everything, when you're talking wiki value.
