As Classification

After finally getting the opportunity to review Koppen's definition of As climates, it turns out that you indeed are correct. The Summer/high sun season in Koppen's system runs from April through September. Thanks for your work on this. If you're up for it, feel free to make similar changes on the tropical climate page. G. Capo (talk) 20:56, 29 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I have now made those changes to the tropical climate page, and I'm going to do the same for the mediterranean climate, humid continental climate and subarctic climate pages. Syphenix (talk) 23:02, 29 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Adding Citations to Suburbs

Firstly, many thanks for your contributions to Wikipedia.

I have noticed that you have added wrong citations for the suburb articles. I have fixed in one instance (Benobble, Queensland. However, I noticed the same in another(Bunburra, Queensland) as well.

Please refer to Template:Cite QPN and Template:Census 2016 AUS on how to modify the parameters to cite properly. Feel free to reach me out at my talk page if you have any questions. Bishal Shrestha (talk) 00:11, 4 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I have noticed that. I am trying to drill the correct citations thing into my head. Syphenix (talk) 00:15, 4 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Pamplona, Spain

Apologies for the delay in response. In order for a climate to be considered a subtropical highland climate as opposed to oceanic, it would have to be a clear-cut case that a climate would be tropical or humid subtropical if it wasn't for the location's altitude. Pamplona could arguably still be Oceanic at sea-level because Pamplona's altitude is only 1500 feet. This is clearly the case for locations such as Bogota, Curitiba, Johannesburg and Kunming. It's not so clear-cut for a number of locations in Europe. G. Capo (talk) 00:10, 17 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Fair enough. Syphenix (talk) 20:28, 19 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Bald and Bankrupt moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, Bald and Bankrupt, does not have enough sources and citations as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.

Speedy deletion nomination of GeoWizard

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on GeoWizard, requesting that it be deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under two or more of the criteria for speedy deletion, by which pages can be deleted at any time, without discussion. If the page meets any of these strictly-defined criteria, then it may soon be deleted by an administrator. The reasons it has been tagged are:

It seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service, person, or point of view and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. (See section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Organizations for more information.
It appears to be about a person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), individual animal, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. (See section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

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. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here.

Ok, go ahead. Syphenix (talk)

population centres and localities in Queensland

When the Queensland Place Names database says something is a "population centre", then for Wikipedia purposes it means a "town" not a locality. Small towns exist within localities (often with the same name) but not always. Town articles go in the Category:Towns in Queensland not Category:Localities in Queensland (unless they are both a town and a locality article -- a common situation with small rural towns -- there is not enough to say about each of them separately to warrant separate articles, but for larger towns that span multiple localities/suburbs, we usually have a separate article for the town and its central suburb (which often but not always has the same name).

Towns are defined by a centre point, whereas a locality has a boundary (but the QPN only reports the centroid of that boundary). You need to use the Queensland Globe to see locality boundaries and hence what locality the town is in.

As far as Queensland goes, I believe all localities have a Wikipedia article already. So any missing topic is probably a small town within a locality of a different name e.g. Portland Road, Queensland.

Localities in Queensland are not considered "within" other localities by the Queensland Government so please don't say this; they are all distinct areas and collectively divide up all of the state's land. The Queensland Government defines our state's geography. What the Census does is entirely for their own statistical convenience. While the ABS do try to reflect the official boundaries published by the various state governments for census purposes, for towns or localities with tiny populations, the ABS often don't report them separately because of concerns about anonymity so they sometimes aggregate them for their purposes of providing privacy to the residents. Nothing the census does has any bearing on the official geography and therefore has no impact of what we say in Wikipedia (other than we cannot report a population figure in some cases).

I hope this explanation helps. Please don't hesitate to ask me if you have any questions. It takes a while to get one's head around how the QPN and the Qld Globe and the Census interact, what is authoritative and what it is not. Kerry (talk) 02:21, 8 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for writing this, and it does help alot. I've already begun fixing my articles in accordance to what you have written here and I will continue to do so. Syphenix (talk) 02:39, 8 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
