Perry, mate, are you here and watching things? Pete aka --Shirt58 (talk) 12:50, 20 May 2013 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited List of Australian novelists, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Capricornia. 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.

2011 literature

I'm still somewhat confused. Do you mean 2011 in Australian literature? If so, there's nothing I can do — the contents have never been deleted in the first place. You can see all revisions by going to https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=2011_in_Australian_literature&action=history, and https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Log&page=2011+in+Australian+literature will demonstrate that no deletions have ever been performed at this title. Nyttend (talk) 11:12, 10 October 2014 (UTC)

Actually, the revisions weren't merged in the sense of a history merge — the page history is still there, and "merger" here means that their contents got moved over to the general 2011 in literature page. "Merge" was the result because the page was so exceptionally small: see its final revision before the deletion process. If you can produce something that's at least a decent skeleton of an article, I'm sure that nobody will complain. No need to ask for a demerger. Nyttend (talk) 02:31, 11 October 2014 (UTC)

Perry, have you read This House of Grief?

Perry, I'm stymied by its front cover to back page of unending grimness to improve the article for this book. Have you read it? Pete AU aka --Shirt58 (talk) 12:43, 17 October 2014 (UTC)

Thanks for the message. I'm obviously a Garner fan. I've re-read Cosmo Cosmolino twice, which is unusual. Very few people have read it even once.
As for "This House of Grief"... don't bother reading it. It's just a re-telling of things we already know about. It's nowhere near Garner's chillingly brilliant writing in Joe Cinque's Consolation, a book that gave me nightmares when I was reading it. I've only had nightmares about three other books while reading them: Toni Morrison's "Beloved", "Once Were Warriors", and "Australian Corporation Law Principles & Practice" (or whatever the set textbook for Corporations Law 401 was called)
In my opinion, Garner is an Australian national living treasure... and also other things that I would block myself for WP:BLP reasons just for sayin'.

Replaceable fair use File:Peter Carey (novelist) photo.png

Thanks for uploading File:Peter Carey (novelist) photo.png. I noticed that this file is being used under a claim of fair use. However, I think that the way it is being used fails the first non-free content criterion. This criterion states that files used under claims of fair use may have no free equivalent; in other words, if the file could be adequately covered by a freely-licensed file or by text alone, then it may not be used on Wikipedia. If you believe this file is not replaceable, please:

  1. Go to the file description page and add the text {{di-replaceable fair use disputed|<your reason>}} below the original replaceable fair use template, replacing <your reason> with a short explanation of why the file is not replaceable.
  2. On the file discussion page, write a full explanation of why you believe the file is not replaceable.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media item by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by creating new media yourself (for example, by taking your own photograph of the subject).

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these media fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per the non-free content policy. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Eeekster (talk) 04:32, 18 December 2014 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image File:Peter Carey (novelist) photo.png

⚠

Thanks for uploading File:Peter Carey (novelist) photo.png. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Stefan2 (talk) 21:24, 18 December 2014 (UTC)
