Thanks so much for that and a terrific start. Its been on my to-do list for yonks. I'll have a read and try some expansion in the next week or so. Moondyne ( talk) 13:29, 13 April 2011 (UTC)
I agree with Moondyne - an excellent start - well done!
Ok some very small issues.
I have the Perth Water map with all the aboriginal names for all the features - god only knows where it is though, bless her... If you can start articles like that - it would be almost worth having a Perth meetup just to meet you and compare sources/sauces/whatever - cheers - btw - thanks for asking - please feel free to contact offline if you wanna find out about some of the archaeo/anthro stuff i could pdf and email for you if you wanted Satu Suro 15:09, 13 April 2011 (UTC)
A lot of the features are in articles that are inadequate in identifying their locality - 'Perth, Western Australia' is probably too much wikitravel for my liking - I really think the use of a standard road map and making sure it is in within specific current known locality and linked or even creating cats for the locality - even if there are only a few things to link (the populate cat feaks seem to be long gone these days) - Hyde Park (i dont have the road map in my office at this time of night) i was sure is Highgate - and should be identified - imho - I know coords can help - but the lists of features I really think should have qualification as to which position they are in as many ways possible - from my way of thinking - btw if you dont have a copy of Ravine and Seddon - you need one :) Satu Suro 15:20, 13 April 2011 (UTC)
Thanks for the input. There's still a lot of stuff I'd like to put into the article - I've basically only used web sources - the Town of Vincent has put a lot of historical info on the web - so any book sources would be appreciated, particularly if they go into more detail. I found a great online report ( here) called A Brief (it's actually 70 pages!) History of Smith's Lake by Sally Lake, which contains a topographical map of the area around the CBD which Aboriginal names attached, as well as the wetlands.
It would be great if there was an equivalent modern-day map of Perth with which I could overlay that map to provide more clarification. I'll try and put in some more coords for locations. Perhaps some photos of present-day Herdsman or Hyde Park wouldn't go amiss either. Once again, thanks for the input. Ignorant Armie s 08:40, 14 April 2011 (UTC)
Look very carefully at the history of the article and the talk page having put that there - and wash your mouth or clean your hands after doing that :( Satu Suro 02:11, 3 May 2011 (UTC)
sorry for confusing you - I am confused enough mysefl :) Satu Suro 14:40, 3 May 2011 (UTC)
Hi IgnorantArmies. I must say that for a relevant newbie, you seem to be getting on like a house on fire. I was impressed with your recent article on the Perth Wetlands. But I was nevertheless just a bit surprised that you moved Photothèque (Luxembourg) to straight Photothèque. While I agree that there is no article in the English WP on Photothèque, I think it would be preferable to leave the space open for anyone to write an article on the concept of Photothèque itself. It may be a rather French was of seeing things but it is related to Bibliothèque (library) and Discothèque (a library of discs). The French WP actually has an entry on Photothèque although for the time being it redirects to Banque d'images. You will also find Fototeca in Spanish. Indeed, if you look here, you'll see the term Fototheque has even reached Australia! If you agree with this reasoning, you might like to move the article back to Photothèque (Luxembourg) which, for me, also gives a better indication of what it is all about. Have fun! And thanks for your interest. - Ipigott ( talk) 12:28, 27 May 2011 (UTC)
FT.com fails WP:EL requirements the user who added links did it to a significant number of articles I WP:AGF on that user but please refrain from reverting my removal of these spam links rather then encouraging the user to continue spamming. Gnan garra 23:55, 29 May 2011 (UTC)
Tjpob ( talk) 10:42, 3 June 2011 (UTC)
Hey mate, thanks for the copy-edit of Midland Junction Football Club, much appreciated. Only problem is there is now some inconsistency between using WAFA and WAFL. As a Victorian, my knowledge of the WAFL is fairly limited, but according to our article the name change from WAFA to WAFL occurred in 1908, during the time Midland Junction were in the league. To add confusion, the league that they played in originally, the First Rate Junior Association, seems to have renamed itself the WAFA when the WAFA changed to the WAFL. Perhaps I should add a footnote trying to explain all this. In any case, it would be greatly appreciated if you could have a crack at clarifying this in the article. Cheers, Jenks24 ( talk) 14:24, 11 June 2011 (UTC)
So, if I can't call it vandalism, what do I call it, and what approach do I use, when an editor insists on repeating a change that he has never explained or justified, and has been asked to discuss, and won't do so? I certainly didn't want an Edit war, and thought it sensible to hear your justification for your position away from the article itself. Nothing else seemed to work. HiLo48 ( talk) 09:08, 12 June 2011 (UTC)
Hi, please stop adding the unnecessary colour to AFL club navboxes. The consensus at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject AFL/Archive 5#Our garish colourful navboxes was that only the titlestyle should be coloured to maintain readability. If you disagree, I'd suggest starting a new discussion at WT:AFL. Cheers, Jenks24 ( talk) 12:13, 2 July 2011 (UTC)
Greetings! A stub template or category which you created has been nominated for renaming or deletion at Wikipedia:Stub types for deletion. The stub type most likely doesn't meet Wikipedia requirements for a stub type, through failure to meet standards relating to the name, scope, current stub hierarchy or likely size, as explained at Wikipedia:Stub. Please feel free to make any comments at WP:SFD regarding this stub type, and in future, please consider proposing new stub types first at Wikipedia:WikiProject Stub sorting/Proposals! This message is a boilerplate, left here as a courtesy, and should not be considered personal in nature. Grutness... wha? 03:46, 10 July 2011 (UTC)
Category:Cricketers who fought in the First World War, which you created, has been nominated for discussion. If you would like to participate in the discussion, you are invited to add your comments at the category's entry on the Categories for discussion page. Thank you. -- Black Falcon ( talk) 06:33, 12 July 2011 (UTC)
It's being nominated for deletion.
If this is a troll/joke category, please do not do this again. Curb Chain ( talk) 07:52, 12 July 2011 (UTC)
Just a quick note to let you know there is now a userbox for the South Sudan WikiProject. Feel free to add it to your user page if you wish. CycloneGU ( talk) 17:12, 12 July 2011 (UTC)
Nice work on the Unions/Fremantle articles, but I wonder if the Unions page should really be at Fremantle Football Club (1890s) or something similar, as they only competed as Unions for 4 years, but Fremantle for 10. I'll have a look around other sports and maybe ask at WP:AWNB, WT:AFL or WT:WA for opinions. It's a fairly difficult situation (and one that the WAFL actually got wrong for many years until Dave Clement found the Union-Freo link in the 1970s. I've got a copy of Geoff Christian's book 'The Footballers' that summarises this era fairly well, so that, coupled with the original newspapers from the era on Trove, should enable us to get up a really good article. have you thought about nominating it for a WP:DYK? If you need a hand I'll can nominate it for you (you'll obviously still get the credit!) Cheers, The-Pope ( talk) 12:45, 26 July 2011 (UTC)
Re the Mr Ward afd - I'm not willing to unlist it but I wouldn't be too fussed if it stayed. just remember to know what to do when the writing is on the wall, if you enjoy wp be prepared to know when to let go or walk away from things :). I agree - as you found it it was a particularly badly made stub - when something is fixed be prepared to accept that and move on Satu Suro 23:54, 28 July 2011 (UTC)
further = in the old days you would have been severely chastised for creating sub cats for localities where the region would do - in the current editing climate of wp - it is unlikely you would ever meet the category population target for a lot of them that you have created - 20 + was considered the mimina for a category not to be put up for deletion - people from wubin or mullewa is very unlikely to be populated by 20+ individuals - and should not be created - stay with the wheatbelt Satu Suro 03:32, 29 July 2011 (UTC)
The article Grace family has been proposed for deletion because, under Wikipedia policy, all biographies of living persons created after March 18, 2010, must have at least one reliable source that directly supports material in the article.
If you created the article, please don't take offense. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Referencing for beginners, or ask at the help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the {{ prod blp}} tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within ten days, the article may be deleted, but you can request that it be undeleted when you are ready to add one. Night of the Big Wind talk 22:00, 30 July 2011 (UTC)
Agreed totally with your change, but don't be surprised if someone changes it back - I made the same change about two years ago (-ums to -a) with some standard being quoted as to why a composite plural was being used. It's one of those times Wiki doesn't make a lot of sense :) Orderinchaos 09:37, 31 July 2011 (UTC)
Thanks for the hard work on the expansion of this article! Lugnuts ( talk) 11:44, 4 August 2011 (UTC)
Hi there, where are you getting the middle names for the old footy players? Unlike cricketers their middle names aren't normally published. Thanks for the other misc cleanup you're doing at the same time. Regards, The-Pope ( talk) 14:00, 25 August 2011 (UTC)
Hey IgnorantArmies, Can you please not remove Collingwood as the minor premiers as you did here [1]. They basically secure the minor premiership and McClelland Trophy since Geelong lost to Sydney today. There is no way that Geelong can get the minor premiership now. Many Thanks, McAusten ( talk) 07:30, 27 August 2011 (UTC)
(I don't have a user page) Sorry, couldn't disagree more. There is no 'plot' heading or suchlike in any event. I am tired of checking wiki articles on unseen television programmes only to have the plot revealed instantly and with no warning.Those that wish to read the details may do so, those who wish to enjoy the programme with no preconceptions can take note of the spoiler alert. By simply deleting my spoiler alert you've not solved the issue at all. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 90.199.187.133 ( talk) 15:31, 27 August 2011 (UTC)
I wasn't aware that the pre WW1 period was known as the Golden Age in Australian and American cricket, as well as in English cricket. Given the decline in American cricket after WW1 it does sound very plausible, but can you provide citations for those two countries? — Preceding

I
assume that your tagging of the school article as a former football club was an error? Otherwise, you're probably going to have to write something into the history section to justify cat'ing it that way. ˜

Hey IgnorantArmies, I just thought I'd let you know that I saw your article Greg Walker (footballer) in the New Articles list-- Happy editing! Hope your day is going well and you are having fun. Jipinghe ( talk) 17:19, 30 September 2011 (UTC)
Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Albert_Gook.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use. Suggestions on how to do so can be found here.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the " my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Do you want to opt out of receiving this notice? Melesse ( talk) 18:39, 30 September 2011 (UTC)
