The Writer's Barnstar
Dear User:Peter Ellis, thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia, especially your recent creation of King Baudouin Ice Shelf . Keep up the good work! You are making a difference here! With regards, Anupam Talk
2021 Christmas gift - "citation needed" User:Peter_Ellis , July 2009, at the audio control desk of community radio station Radio 1RPH Firstly, I am not one of these people with the same name .
First impressions can be so self-nominated (a fizzer) to be an Wikipedia:Administrators .
What foolishness! I should have cranked up the Geek factor weeks before that. GEEK CODE

[ edit ] At one time, my image of Nelson Mandela 's signature was the signature on that great man's page. This signature by Mandela is in my city, on a wall of signatures (and dated 6 September 2000.) When I returned to view the signature, the day after Mandela's death, I found that Aung San Suu Kyi had also signed, under Mandela's signature, on 29 November 2013.
Nelson Mandela and Aung San Suu Kyi signatures together at the Australian National University 's Llewellyn Hall Green Room , respectively signed 6 September 2000 and 29 November 2013 (the latter only about 2 weeks before the former's death.) Both are under a protective plastic sheet, on stand-offs of which one is visible at bottom-right. Evidently, the sheet was removed in order for Aung San Suu Kyi to sign near Mandela.Canberra Cavalry baseball team mascot, "Sarge", with Australian slouch hat , Cavalry-orange shirt, Auscam pants, and brown Army boots, exchanges a moustache moment with a fan...In my professional life I would be described as a "project manager", and my recent academic accomplishments bear this out as does my membership of the Australian Institute of Project Management (AIPM) .
I was an officer in the Royal Australian Navy for 34 years: 2 February 1976 - 18 July 2010. I was enriched by the experience, and learned my "trade" - management, particularly project management.
I am interested in places I live and have lived, and things I know about. I admit it: I'm the 'marginal' person, interested in some VERY 'odd' things:
I am a musician:
I play the violin in a community orchestra;
I sing in several community choirs ;
I know Linux and I normally run several seperate boxen, typically Ubuntu or Kubuntu or Lubuntu (for the not-Linux crowd, 'boxen' is geek plural of 'box');
I regularly moderate at Slashdot [2] and read Groklaw [3] daily;
I have been a hand coding since starting on Fortran on an IBM Model 1180 with its magnificant magnetic ring memory !
I am webmaster for several organisations, in which I 'hand-code':
a PHP -based site, and
two flat-file HTML based sites;
a Wordpress -based site;
plus, I contribute content to several other sites including being an assistant admin of a site with hand-coding some of the content that goes in via a submission-tool;
I was maintainer for an early, small Unix -based, multi-terminal, server-client network for several years;
I have hand-coded the content for several parts of my employer's intranet ;
I took delivery of one of the first TRS-80 clone PCs (a System 80 ) in Australia after sleeping in my car outside the nearest Dick Smith Electronics store, then hand-coded it in Basic ; >8,500 edits on Wikipedia, as at July 2020. I have several blogs , one that I keep updated moderately actively;
I have conversed with Australian Living Treasures , Dick Smith , on several occasions (and... have email access to him), and my father flew with him on various occasions;
I used to have a Private Pilot License , and barely a day goes by that I don't want to fly (sigh!) so now I 'fly' one of several computer programs (X-Plane / Flight Simulator );
I own several GPS units, one (often) installed in my car;
I was for several years a moderator on my local Freecycle group.
I have a Facebook page; ... and you're welcome to ask me for the URLs (if you know Wiki well enough);
2021-01-15 Wikipedia 20th birthday meetup Canberra I do not edit other people's date formats, but (to me, having done some programming, and filing, in my time) there is an in-built sensibility in using the date format represented by YYYY-MM-DD.
This self-organises in a filing system.
This releases the reader from the ambiguities of other formats. My BOINC total credits (mostly SETI@Home until it ended, then Einstein@Home ) topped:

And, you guessed it, "Get a life" is an alien concept.

[ edit ] In the late 1970s, I did a Revue as Master of Ceremonies , as Dame Edna Everidge 's faint echo, "Dame Enid Everard", in an appropriate costume. Interestingly, I had previously sung onstage in the South Pacific There Is Nothing Like a Dame
Just after the opening of the 2006 Commonwealth Games I was talking to a family member who knows their ducks and geese and who swore to me that it was a goose rather than a duck that was used in connection with the Michael Leunig storyline. Accordingly, I inserted, "(A live white goose was substituted, presumably because it would be easier to handle and better visible by cameras.)" That person has since seen footage of the duck in question and has recognised the error of the ways. Accordingly, I too must take responsibility and apologise to the Wikipedia community in general and the Games organisers in particular. Peter Ellis 11:24, 16 March 2006 (UTC)
In a scientific study published in November 2017, scientists showed that sheep could be taught to recognise the faces of certain people versus objects or random faces. The celebrity faces used were: Emma Watson , Barack Obama , Fiona Bruce and Jake Gyllenhaal .[ 3]

"On this day" 2021-02-10 with incorrect detail about HMAS Voyager. Wikipedia got it ever so slightly wrong on 10 February 2021, when it said that HMAS Voyager was struck by HMAS Melbourne (R21) "in" Jervis Bay ; it was "near".
