Disambiguation link notification for December 6

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited New South Wales Premier's Literary Awards, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Peter Duncan (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Wikilove

For work on New South Wales Premier's Literary Awards and Teeny Ted from Turnip Town. The next challenge is to get the Awards information into table format :) not easy but will help as the years go by.

I made some small changes to the drink to suit your palette. :) Whiteghost.ink (talk) 07:11, 19 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Teeny Ted

Teeny Ted was an amusing choice of article and now I understand how you came to it. It had an orphan tag (meaning that no articles linked to it, which is generally considered to be not a good thing), so I linked to Teeny Ted from some other articles and was then able to remove the tag. See Gallium#Other uses and List of nanotechnology applications#Entertainment and Scanning electron microscope#See also.

On the subject of where to put talk comments - you can put them either on the sender's page, as you have done. Click on the "new section" tab at the top and that will create - surprise - a new section where you add your comments. Or, you can add your response to the section where the comment first appears - on your own talk page, so that the conversational thread is kept together. Many people prefer the latter and you will see on their talk page a message saying: "Please keep all conversational threads together. If you post on my talk page, I will respond here".

Disambiguation link notification for September 5

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Dave Sim, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page IDW (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver).

Last: Higher Ed Symposium

Hi there! You are cordially invited to an edit-a-thon this Saturday (21 September) in Sydney at the State Library of New South Wales (SLNSW), where you can collaborate with other Wikipedians throughout the day. Andy Carr, a senior librarian at SLNSW will also be helping out.

If you are unable to attend in person, we will also be collaborating online. Details and an attendee list are at Wikipedia:Meetup/Sydney/September 2013. Hope you can make it! John Vandenberg 09:14, 19 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Invitation

There is a backstage pass coming up to be followed by an editathon in the State Library of New South Wales on 23 November. This is the first time that an Australian cultural institution has opened its doors to us in this way and will be a special opportunity because the Library is providing: one of its best rooms; its expert curators (along with their expertise and their white gloves); a newly launched website (containing new resources); and of course, items from its collection (including rare and usually unavailable material) which we can look at, learn from, and use, to improve WP articles. For example, on the chosen topic (Australia and WWI), the Library holds many diaries and manuscripts from the period.

As you can see from the Library's project page, they have connected this editathon with their own work. They have already set out a wide range of resources to make things easier for us. Please sign up on the editathon project page if you can participate either online or in person with other Wikipedians. Hope to see you there!

ArbCom elections are now open!

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
