A kitten for you!

A new user ConstanceCain and I have updated the Edna Ryan Awards!

CooeeCapella (talk) 06:28, 20 January 2022 (UTC)

Thank you. I was unable to for obvious reasons.--Oronsay (talk) 06:39, 20 January 2022 (UTC)

She is having trouble getting her user page to work. Does it usually take time before you can access it? CooeeCapella (talk) 06:30, 20 January 2022 (UTC)

She will have to create it, here. Happy to help, if needed, but best for her to create it herself, as she has done with her Talk page. I'll now go and issue the standard Aussie welcome.--Oronsay (talk) 06:39, 20 January 2022 (UTC)

Australian Honours Lists question

Hello - just wondering, given your work on various honours lists, is there consensus to remove people from the relevant Australia Day/Queen's Birthday lists if they are subsequently removed (or resign) from their respective award, or do you have them reflect the awards made at the time? Deus et lex (talk) 01:56, 25 January 2022 (UTC)

So far as I am aware, the practice is to annotate the honours list with the relevant information. Alan Bond is a good example of this in the AO section of the 1984 Australia Day Honours.--Oronsay (talk) 02:36, 25 January 2022 (UTC)
Thank you - I noticed Brian Burke was not in the relevant 1988 Honours List (noting that his award was rescinded). I will follow the same practice. Deus et lex (talk) 03:16, 25 January 2022 (UTC)
@Deus et lex: Oh, good... and thank you. I'm looking forward to seeing who is in the new batch of honours, due to be released for publication this evening!--Oronsay (talk) 03:54, 25 January 2022 (UTC)

Thanks for doing the OAMs (and your usual linking)! Normally they release the database at 9pm and I will generate the list from that but they stuffed up this year and only uploaded two entries! I did the rest from the PDFs which were released at 10 but couldn't stomach manually doing the 540 OAMs so I decided to see if they had fixed it in the morning – they had, but you have already done them all. Wonderful! Hope it wasn't too much trouble due to the government's admin error! --Canley (talk) 00:06, 26 January 2022 (UTC)

@Canley: Thanks for doing the lion's share and for doing the Military OAMs. I scraped the list from the SMH and manually changed capitalisation of the surnames. Just a little exercise for my busy fingers! Added them in batches in case anyone woke up and got busy. So far I've avoided edit conflict. Still plenty of articles to update though, and more links to discover.--Oronsay (talk) 00:19, 26 January 2022 (UTC)
