Rejected Draft
Hi JarrahTree, I just had this draft ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:John_Hawdon_(colonial_settler) ) rejected by someone on the other side of the world (You did warn me, as I recall). I don't think it deserves being treated that way, but I have gone as far as to update it a little. However, I am loath to resubmit it, in case it is pounced on again by similarly-minded denizens of the wiki world. I also have another draft on a similar subject languishing in the draft space ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:William_Sandys_Elrington ) and I fear it might share the same fate as the other one. I can only speculate on why the article might have been rejected, and I flatly refuse to speculate or respond in kind, as someone who abhors cyber-wars, 'flaming', etc.. Could you keep an eye out for these drafts and let me know what you think? (Note that I have created some articles directly, but I don't like any malformed tentative drafts (in the broader sense) on public display, and some of mine take a while to 'iron out the kinks'). Regards, TrimmerinWiki (talk) 00:38, 24 February 2022 (UTC)
Hi JarrahTree, You can ignore the above, as another Australian user ( Grahamec ) has just accepted both articles. I have noticed that his subject areas overlap with mine and so it is great to be reviewed by somebody who understands what they are looking at. Thanks for listening to my gripes!

Melanesia
The Wikipedia article Melanesia says that it's a part of Oceania and includes Papua and West Papua. Timor, which is in Asia, is not mentioned. The Melanesian Spearhead Group has four members, and Indonesia is an associate member. East Timor is only an observer. The term "melanesia" refers to the black skin of most of its inhabitants. East Timorese generally do not have black skin - theirs is mostly brown like that of Indonesians from all parts of Indonesia except Papua and West Papua. Bahnfrend (talk) 12:51, 27 February 2022 (UTC)
- I dunno. My understanding is mainly that East Timor is part of Asia and not Melanesia, and that East Timorese identify as Asians and not as Melanesians. I also know that the Papuans and West Papuans are an ethnic group distinct from other Indonesians. Identification of the precise border between Melanesia and Asia is not something on which I can or do claim to be an expert. Bahnfrend (talk) 13:02, 27 February 2022 (UTC)

Puzzled
Hi, JT. I was not happy with these two edits by User:Tassedethe so looked up his/its other contributions. What on earth is happening here? Is this a bot at work? Why does an established DAB page have to be moved? And how does this manpulation conform with WP:MOSDAB? Cheers Bjenks (talk) 06:28, 10 March 2022 (UTC)

- You should have put that on the talk page - not mine, your edit summary was insufficient - you should take care with that ... JarrahTree 03:21, 30 April 2022 (UTC)

Abuse of rollback privilege
This edit to East Perth Locomotive Depot appears to be an abuse of rollback. Please read WP:ROLLBACKUSE - can you justify its use by any of the 5 criteria listed?
If you disagree with some of the specific change, feel free to discuss those specific edits. Mitch Ames (talk) 02:55, 1 May 2022 (UTC)

Cookes Creek
This one is actually a prime example of what you stated in the Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Cookes Creek mine discussion. Shortly after acquisition in 2016, the new owners came to realise that what was promised, the measured 9.5 million tonnes of tungsten, wasn't actuallyy there. See the Big Hill 2016 resources update, where they "popped the bubble" and downgraded the resource from measured to indicated. That would have killed the project right off! To mining-technical for a deletion discussion, I'm afraid, but oh so typical for this kind of project and Bine Mai articles. Calistemon (talk) 12:58, 16 May 2022 (UTC)

An invitation to help the West Coast Wikipedian at Large
|
News from the West Coast |
|
Development West Coast have kindly agreed to support another short Wikipedian at Large contract on the West Coast, to cover areas that were missed the first time around: Lake Brunner, Te Wahipounamu, Ōpārara Arches, and Punakaiki. From June 20th to August 26th I'll be improving articles, Wikidata, and photo collections on these areas, and would love some help. I'm inviting you to sign up on the project page; there'll be a fortnightly "postcards from the Coast" of to-dos and updates, and prizes for the most and best contributions by volunteers. Hope to see you there! —Giantflightlessbirds (talk) 23:01, 4 June 2022 (UTC)) |
Review of John Fell (industrialist)
First, I have finally archived my Talk page and promise to keep it in slimmed down form from now on .... now that I know what I am doing in that area. Second, just to let you know that something odd happened in aftermath of your review of the above article. (BTW, thanks for your review.) After you had reviewed the article another user by the name of DarkGlow reviewed it again and took it down from 'C' to 'Start'. I was advised by email, but there was nothing left on my Talk page. I am reasonably thick-skinned, and a receiving a review that seems inappropriately low won't upset me too much. However, I had a look at this user and (self-declared) he, seems to specialise in British soap-operas. So, it seems strange that he is also into oil shale pioneers in Australia. FYI, I left him a message on his Talk page, out of genuine interest. Not wishing to start a flaming war, but thought you may be interested, as the earlier reviewer.TrimmerinWiki (talk) 23:22, 4 June 2022 (UTC)

Hi. Why did you change the page about Wikimedians-in-residence to its old text instead of keeping it a redirect on outreach Wiki? It can be confusing to have a lot of different pages about Wikimedians-in-residence. Rachel Helps (BYU) (talk) 21:44, 8 July 2022 (UTC)

Smell
Thanks for your email. Wikipedia attracts people with an intense focus on specific areas, and most of these people do good work. I personally don't see a connection between the two users you've mentioned, and because one was blocked years ago I doubt that a checkuser would be helpful.-gadfium 18:36, 23 July 2022 (UTC)

Hi!
Haven't seen you around much, but probably because we don't frequent the same areas. Are you going to Wikimania in Singapore next year? BTW, NPP needs all the support it can get. Perhaps you might like to join this appeal and if you support it, do please go ahead and sign it. Only if you want to of course. Cheers, Chris. (Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 03:16, 5 September 2022 (UTC))

Board of Trustees election
Thank you for supporting the NPP initiative to improve WMF support of the Page Curation tools. Another way you can help is by voting in the Board of Trustees election.

Your talk page message
I know you removed your comment, but I'm not sure I understand the question you were asking and didn't want to leave it hanging. I unreviewed the page in question because I happened upon it and noticed that it has zero sources and about a sentence and a half of content. I'm familiar enough with the concept that I'm pretty sure it's a notable topic and sources are out there, so AfD wasn't the right answer, nor were any of the speedy options. I'm not trying to cause trouble here and it has been a while since I worked NPP, so I'm definitely open to commentary/criticism - would it have been better to draftify it? BLAR it to Market capitalization? Tag? Something else? GeneralNotability (talk) 21:51, 30 September 2022 (UTC)
- GeneralNotability, I think perhaps Ajeet Param very clearly does not understand our guidelines for article creation and probably needs a lot help before they finally end up at ANI for CIR. JarrahTree may not have been aware of the 'Move to draft ' script which is not (yet) in the Curation tool, or due to the controversies surrounding drafts was unsure what to do. I've moved the article to draft to join the long list there of their other creations, but note how I customised the 'Move to draft' message. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 22:15, 30 September 2022 (UTC)
- There is of course the possibility of PRODing an article like that, but PRODs can all too easily be declined. It all depends how much chance one wants to give the creator the opportunity to improve the article. I don't doubt for a moment that Ajeet Param is creating articles in good faith, but they just don't somehow seem to get it right. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 23:08, 30 September 2022 (UTC)
- And to think I really had wanted a very clear weekend away from this damned zoo... I read the diffs from Darren's editing and I had though that he had draftified ajeet's one liner. I somehow was wrong? I am tired of seeing things at Darren's talk as if he is the cause of the universes problems, he happens to be one of the harder working oz eds whom I consider has been the target of some bizarre talk page events worthy of a lesser monty python skit, or maybe the young ones inside the fridge, the talking steak or vegetable or something... My reading of the edit was that I thought that the one liner had been draftified. However it was pointed out to me that it hadnt happened. So when I saw notabilities message, I thought oh no, why expose the one liner back into the clear light of mainspace where it might fall foul of lesser mortals. Instead I awaken today to see the god of nPP on my talk page and adjusted and corrected drafts of the offending items and all. To clarify for notability I was at your talk page for what i thought was darren's sake, my reading of his edit history is that he was away for over a week (sigh, if only...) and has been blamed for all the errors of wikipedia in the past, and I was wearily (it was after a long day of misreading totally different edit histories) wondering why he was being unreviewed. It was then pointed out to me that darren hadnt physically draftified ajeet's one liner, by a friend v late last night. I then withdrew erased my message as I was there for darren's sake, not for the one liners of ajeet. KUdpungs arrival into the equation is most welcome, and has appeared to have sorted things out. I have in the past been a NPP active editor, but soured on the whole experience when I was nobbled by a fellow NPP on an article that I was creating some time back, and see how the usage of the logging and tagging and draftifying has a potentially sinister element (a NPP draftifying an in process article by a fellow NPP ?), and I remain unconvinced that the action against my editing was done in good faith, and had an element of attack to it (even though a third party reviewed it an estimated that notability was not sufficiently established - ahh take me to the millions of that exact status that remain untouched....). As a result I abstain from NPP, and did not inflict the log of items of any action on NPP when I was involved.
Meanwhile I digress, notability and kudpung discuss procedural responses to ajeet's one liners, to be honest I am not interested, I was concerned initially that darren was away and had been handed a furphy. It seems that the last day of the last month I was involved in a number total misreads of diffs. I just want to go back to silence and absence. If at all possible.
