too many cats

to put it simply parent (the wider generic variety) and child cats are not utilised together

see WP:CATEGORIES

Thanks JarrahTree and roger that - As a newbie I didn't understand that child categories inherited the properties of there parents. Have reverted all of my earlier changes with this error.

The categories main page can be a brain buster... Dont get too worried - it was in the old days people used to add all and sundry, the practice is discouraged here on english wikipedia, the process is not as seriously attended to in commons.

Also the article for creation - I am astonished it hadnt been put up sooner - as that stage of dealing with museum collections it is ever present for heritage / transport / museums - it is vital info and component of the processes by which transport museums try to actually get those who know nothing about the intricacies of the running and maintenance of the aforesaid operations (so to speak) JarrahTree 07:43, 27 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks JarraTree - not worried and really appreciate the steer being new.

The article for creation being the Piggott Report?

If so it's fascinating stuff - The Australian museum sector was in a dire state in the 70s and in many ways that report influenced museum/cultural heritage policy for decades. All of its recommendations were not acted on but it influenced the professionalisation of the sector and also recommended the creation of key Australian collecting institutions: The National Museum of Australia and the Australian National Maritime Museum.

I love the fact that the chair Peter Piggott was a successful businessman in the toy industry and was an avid conservationist! I would have love to meet him.

There are probably a host of issues with that article - it's the first I've created - I'd appreciate feedback and happy to improve it.

'

a big problem with most reviewers of articles is that they know nothing about the subject or context - in some cases very valid australian new articles get trashed over very spurious reasoning. There are helpful and quite reasonable editors who have a good ecumenical/multicultural/ understanding - even of things to do with transport,

for a start - I would highly recommend - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Grahamec 10:29, 27 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: Museums in Australia 1975 (Pigott Report) (April 25)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by Gusfriend was:

This submission is not adequately supported by reliable sources. Reliable sources are required so that information can be verified. If you need help with referencing, please see Referencing for beginners and Citing sources.

The comment the reviewer left was:

The article relies too much on citations of the report itself. See WP:OR. Some more Trove citations would be great. Also would it make sense to call it Inquiry on Museums and National Collections to indicate that it is about the inquiry rather than which museums were created in 1975 or something similar? Then you can create a couple of pages with redirects from pages like "Pigott Report (1975)".

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit when they have been resolved.
