Thanks for your welcome message, it looks like the Wikipedia page on me has been vandalised a couple of times, but strangely I can’t find any editing history that points to which user did it. Any idea as to how to check?

Pipe band (and bagpipe) notability

[edit]

Hi, thought you might be interested in helping work out a policy for notability in piping at Wikipedia:WikiProject_Bagpipes#Notability_guidelines? It seems that there can be quite different understandings of what constitutes notability, especially as a lot of piping coverage is well outside of mainstream media. There are quite a few articles that exist that I suspect are not notable - User:Ostrichyearning3/nn - and many many more notable articles that do not exist yet. But would be useful if there was a clear distinction! best, Ostrichyearning3 (talk) 12:00, 27 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for messaging me but i found this NON-LOGIN user Special:Contributions/139.192.224.172 keep spreading not-accurate data and low quality picture and information without references, as you can check (Check here!) all of his/her editing is very weird and not left any actual and legitimate references uses?

and she/he already got mentioned before for vandalizing so many pages. so that's why im reverting the page to the previous one before he/she edit it without legitimate sources.

conclusion: that might causing she/he to be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you vandalize Wikipedia, as you did at Srivijaya, East Java, Jambi, Riau and further more on this -->>> (Check here!). Vif12vf/Tiberius (talk) 12:18, 23 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

If this is a shared IP address, and you did not make the edits referred to above, consider creating an account for yourself or logging in with an existing account so that you can avoid further irrelevant notices.

Ok I move the section already at this very bottom one. But I think I will stop contributing and editing on those pages prevent to stop edit war, I let you to fix this. I also don't know how to stop her/him spreading fake informations, the way she/he reverting another users edits also seems very rude, changing so many informations not based on legitimate references, thats should be fixed as soon as possible. You can check all of his editing not only on the Pages of Provinces in Indonesia but also another subject pages like Foods, she/he changes so many informations without any references that might be HOAX. I hope you can check and fix this... -->>> (Check here!)

Rottnest Island

[edit]

I would like your expert opinion on something; What LGA does Rottnest Island belong to? It seems to be the City of Cockburn, according to Wikipedia. I can't find confirmation for this on either the City of Cockburn website nor the Rottnest Island one. I'm asking because I'm wondering what area the 22 State Register of Heritage Places fall under. Inherit lists the LGA as just Rottnest. Calistemon (talk) 23:20, 4 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I have created it's own entry on the Heritage template for now as Islands. Calistemon (talk) 01:35, 5 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Given what a popular place the island is I thought we would have lots of photos of heritage buildings for List of State Register of Heritage Places on Rottnest Island but that isn't the case! One day, when we can go there again, I might try to rectify this. Calistemon (talk) 04:11, 5 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Assessment query

[edit]

Whats the process if I disagree with an assessment of B-class that you've done to the new 1915 Victorian soccer season using Wikipedia:RATER? Just "be bold" and change? I have been looking at a lot of the Australian football (soccer) articles over the past week as part of a Destubbing Challenge, and similar quality articles would only rate Start at best. One can argue that as nearly all of the references are taken from essentially the same source whether this article is still close to only being a Stub. However, it is a ways off being B-class in my opinion. Matilda Maniac (talk) 00:07, 20 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

A tag has been placed on Category:Queensland lawyers requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section C1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the category has been empty for seven days or more and is not a disambiguation category, a category redirect, a featured topics category, under discussion at Categories for discussion, or a project category that by its nature may become empty on occasion.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Liz Read!

Invite to Revive WikiProject:Shopping Centers!

[edit]

Hey there, JarrahTree! I'm Windyshadow32, a new member of the sadly inactive Wikiproject Shopping Centers. I saw your comment on the talk page and it inspired me to revive the project. I am trying to revive the project to highlight the unique stories of malls across the country and the world especially as we lose more and more of them. Undoubtedly, we will lose shopping malls due to the challenges we face at this moment. I would like to know if you would like to help revive the project with me! I could really use some help assessing the quality of each article and how important they are! I can't take on this massive project without you. Please let me know if you'd be willing to help; I really appreciate it!

Hello JarrahTree,

Your help can make a difference

NPP Sorting can be a great way to find pages needing new page patrolling that match your strengths and interests. Using ORES, it divides articles into topics such as Literature or Chemistry and on Geography. Take a look and see if you can find time to patrol a couple pages a day. With over 10,000 pages in the queue, the highest it's been since ACPERM, your help could really make a difference.

Google Adds New Languages to Google Translate

In late February, Google added 5 new languages to Google Translate: Kinyarwanda, Odia (Oriya), Tatar, Turkmen and Uyghur. This expands our ability to find and evaluate sources in those languages.

Discussions and Resources
  • A discussion on handling new article creation by paid editors is ongoing at the Village Pump.
  • Also at the Village Pump is a discussion about limiting participation at Articles for Deletion discussion.
  • A proposed new speedy deletion criteria for certain kinds of redirects ended with no consensus.
  • Also ending with no change was a proposal to change how we handle certain kinds of vector images.

Hi JarrahTree, as a respected editor I wondered if you had a few moments to contribute to a second RfC on the retention of an image of the Reverse of the Australian Antarctic Medal. It's been re-nominated for deletion by one editor at Wikipedia:Files for discussion/2020 June 25, following consensus on its retention previously. As the original RfC was only comprised of 4 views, I think it might help the other editor involved if there was a wider input. It's all fairly short, so takes no more than a minute or two of reading, and you are welcome to express any opinion you think is appropriate. Thanks in advance if you can spare the time.

However, I'm not guilty of any soap in the article. I can't recall ever making an edit or even reading the article (but will do soon).

Postcard #5

[edit]
Postcard from the West Coast

Sunday 4 October: Hokitika

Kia ora from Hokitika! Tomorrow I pack up the car and head to Greymouth to present to Development West Coast our previous month's work, before heading south • Yes, Glacier Country are supplying accommodation in south WestlandŌkārito, Franz Josef, and Fox – for the next two weeks. Possibly because I mouthed off to the media that Fox Glacier's entry is so short who would want to stay there? • So this week it's Ōkārito (splitting the article into settlement and lagoon), kōtuku, spoonbills, the West Coast Wildlife Centre (Q99767675), rowi, Franz Josef glacier (and NZ glacier photos in general glacier articles), historic buildings thereabouts, etc • I uploaded lots of Stewart Nimmo photos of the Haast area, and have some Paparoa ones by Jase Blair coming soon. • Pakoire noticed that Fayne Robinson (Q99836010) needs an article – can we collaborate on one? He's def notable and we need more coverage of Māori from the Coast. • Also women: see the Westland women in the WikiProject Hokitika Museum Google doc and Hokitika Museum Google drive. • Last week I wrote or improved articles about Hokitika Museum, Lake Kaniere, History House Museum, Lake Mahinapua, and Westland District Library. Error check, cleanup etc welcome. It's great to be able to work from folders and scrapbooks stuffed full of newspaper clippings! • Housekeeping: Thank you all for collaborating and filling in gaps, especially with historic buildings. Paora has been doing some great work. Please keep letting me know of any photos you need taking on the spot. • Take care — Giantflightlessbirds
Gorgeous Lake Kaniere. Yes, it really does look like this.

Postcard #6

[edit]
Postcard from the West Coast

Sunday 11 October: Franz Josef

Gidday from Franz Josef/Waiau! Deserted tourist town, everything's a bit pricey, but there are kea circling over the main street which makes up for a lot • I just spent three days in Ōkārito, wrote articles about pakihi and Ōkārito lagoon, and took/was given a lot of photos of Kōtuku and hiking trails. A dearth of printed sources on Ōkārito but there are enough photos and info to make at least sections/galleries for buildings like Donovan's Store (Q79300924), Ōkārito School (Q79303038), and Ōkārito Obelisk (Q79309599) on its article • There are too many photos of Franz Josef glacier! It would be great to make a curated gallery of the most useful ones on its Commons page. Also finding and uploading good photos from DigitalNZ and the Macmillan Brown A. C. Graham Collection would help heaps • Local heritage sites that need articles: the Hendes Gallery, Defiance Hut, Chancellor Hut • I'll be spending Tuesday in the West Coast Wildlife Centre, looking at baby kiwi and improving Haast Tokoeka and Rowi articles • Great to see a new Fayne Robinson article from Pakoire, and Maida Bryant from MurielMary; Paora's been beavering away on lists of mayors • Housekeeping: do reach out to any of the team for a hand if some random editor knocks you back or makes trouble. Don't let them rattle you! We're here to help each other. • Take care and be kind — Giantflightlessbirds
In a few decades the Waiho River bed will be higher than Franz Josef. Won't that be fun!

Postcard #7

[edit]
Final Postcard from the West Coast

Friday 23 October:Reefton

Kia ora koutou from Reefton! • We're in the last few days of the project, so time to wrap up loose ends. • Most of the last week I was based in in Fox Glacier, organising photo uploads from Fox Glacier Guiding of the glacier itself and Chancellor Hut, check them out • I've also photographed hiking trails and worked on articles about the West Coast Wildlife Centre, Lake Gault and Lake Matheson • Here in Reefton I'm improving the article about the town, have found info on the Inangahua County Library for DrThneed, and am writing about the Reefton Distillery • There are photos of all of Reeftons's historic buildings (and I've added a few), but no articles about the Reefton Courthouse or the Reefton School of Mines, and the Reefton Power Station article could do with work • Since I last wrote DrThneed has been hard at work on libraries, there's a nice Donovan's Store article from Gertrude206, much-needed improvements to pounamu by Pakoire, and Paora's been super-industrious with historic buildings but most importantly managed to produce a photo of the giant sandfly of PukekuraHousekeeping: I'm sending out prizes kindly donated by Development West Coast and Friends of Waiuta to those of you who've worked hardest on the project, so if I ask for a postal address that's why. But even if you just signed up to get these postcards, that's fine too! • Thank you all for making a wonderful project work; I've never coordinated a team effort like this, and I think it's potentially a model for other edit-a-thons. Its been great fun. And I hope this has inspired you to keep chipping away, improving the coverage of New Zealand's beautiful West Coast. Ka kite ano, — Giantflightlessbirds

What to do with WP:PORTS and WP:YAR

[edit]

What do you think should be done with WP:PORTS? We had the 2011 merger discussion with the Maritime Transport Taskforce, which was adopted with fairly minimal discussion but never fully enacted. Unfortunately the merger did not lead to any real gain in editor numbers, and perhaps diluted the attention anyone actually paid to ports topics. And now as far as I can tell I'm the only member of WP:PORTS not to have retired from Wikipedia. :)

I particularly don't like the project being left in its current half-merged state. I reckon it needs to either be completely merged into the Maritime Transport taskforce and that taskforce then urged to get involved in the wonders of port articles; or it needs un-merging and re-promotion as an independent collaboration.

WP:YAR also seems to have died a sad death (again). If anything this is more serious, as pirate articles more quickly fill with unsourced nonsense. The project has no obvious merger target, but there's surely enough editor interest in poach to get it up and running again on its own. Or is this not worth the effort, and should it just be left in its current inactive state?

Anyway: given your own background in maritime history, I was hoping to get your views on the above, before raising it more widely. Opinions welcome on these or any other options! -- Euryalus (talk) 09:17, 26 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

New Page Patrol December Newsletter

[edit]

Hello JarrahTree,

A chart of the 2020 New Page Patrol Queue

Year in review

It has been a productive year for New Page Patrol as we've roughly cut the size of the New Page Patrol queue in half this year. We have been fortunate to have a lot of great work done by Rosguill who was the reviewer of the most pages and redirects this past year. Thanks and credit go to JTtheOG and Onel5969 who join Rosguill in repeating in the top 10 from last year. Thanks to John B123, Hughesdarren, and Mccapra who all got the NPR permission this year and joined the top 10. Also new to the top ten is DannyS712 bot III, programmed by DannyS712 which has helped to dramatically reduce the number of redirects that have needed human patrolling by patrolling certain types of redirects (e.g. for differences in accents) and by also patrolling editors who are on on the redirect whitelist.

Rank Username Num reviews Log
1 DannyS712 bot III (talk) 67,552 Patrol Page Curation
2 Rosguill (talk) 63,821 Patrol Page Curation
3 John B123 (talk) 21,697 Patrol Page Curation
4 Onel5969 (talk) 19,879 Patrol Page Curation
5 JTtheOG (talk) 12,901 Patrol Page Curation

8 Mccapra (talk) 4,918 Patrol Page Curation
9 Hughesdarren (talk) 4,520 Patrol Page Curation
10 Utopes (talk) 3,958 Patrol Page Curation
Reviewer of the Year

John B123 has been named reviewer of the year for 2020. John has held the permission for just over 6 months and in that time has helped cut into the queue by reviewing more than 18,000 articles. His talk page shows his efforts to communicate with users, upholding NPP's goal of nurturing new users and quality over quantity.

NPP Technical Achievement Award

As a special recognition and thank you DannyS712 has been awarded the first NPP Technical Achievement Award. His work programming the bot has helped us patrol redirects tremendously - more than 60,000 redirects this past year. This has been a large contribution to New Page Patrol and definitely is worthy of recognition.

Six Month Queue Data: Today – 2262 Low – 2232 High – 10271

Rollback (ab)use

[edit]

As a side note to Talk:Nannup, Western Australia#Lead - town vs shire, please note that your rollback of my edits – "reverting good-faith changes which you happen to disagree with – is likely to be considered misuse of the tool."

When there are multiple edits that you disagree with, please use individual reverts (which are then easier to refer to), each with a meaningful comment. Mitch Ames (talk) 03:53, 26 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I'm sure it was an honest mistake, but it's not the first time that you have rolled back multiple edits - including clearly valid edits - with no explanation. There was no justification (according to WP:ROLLBACK) for use of the rollback tool in this case. Mitch Ames (talk) 04:38, 26 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
so you are perfect then mitch, and in all your 100,000 + edits havent done somethiung similar? smells of having to have the last word.. JarrahTree 05:09, 26 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Once again you have rolled back my reasonable, explained-in-edit-summary, edits without any explanation, contrary to WP:ROLLBACKUSE, in a manner that "is likely to be considered misuse of the tool". Please discuss the edits at Talk:Yarloop Workshops. Mitch Ames (talk) 13:26, 3 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
