Request for third opinion[edit]

Hey folks, just hoping someone can help resolve a disagreement between myself and another editor.

The article on the Whadjuk people, one of the Noongar people, included the Noongar names along with the English names for some plants and animals in its section on the seasons.

The disagreement is whether or not the names should be included. I argue that it's of interest to a reader, especially considering that for a user to find it they will likely have an interest in the subject matter as this isn't an article with a lot of traffic. Additionally, that it's relevant as the behaviour of plants and animals is how the seasons are known to have started/ended.

The other user @Mitch Ames argues that as it is a section on the seasons, not language nor about animals and plants, that it is not relevant information.

Obviously I'm biased so please read the full discussion in the linked talk page. Providing your input there would be appreciated as well.

Capitalization of Indigenous[edit]

The North American Indigenous WikiProject guidelines endorses capitalizing the word "Indigenous" when referring to Indigenous peoples, in line with guidelines from the AP, APA, the Chicago Manual of Style, the Native American Journalists Association, etc. Does the Australian Indigenous WikiProject have a similar guideline?

We have these drafts (and their talk pages), neither of which has been touched for several months:

We? - this project is only part of the broader discussion about Indigenous Australian issues, which exist in a number of places on wiki and off... This particular page has 550 watchers, but a daily average of 2 views over 90 days...

{{First Nations Australians}} exists as well... JarrahTree 12:14, 8 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
