New Challenge for Oceania and Australia
Hi, WikiProject Oceania/The 10,000 Challenge and WikiProject Australia/The 5000 Challenge are up and running based on The 10,000 Challenge which has currently produced over 2300 article improvements and creations. The Australia challenge would feed into the wider region one and potentially New Zealand could have a smaller challenge too. The main goal is content improvement, tackling stale old stubs and important content and improving sourcing/making more consistent but new articles are also welcome if sourced. I understand that this is a big goal for regular editors, especially being summertime where you are, but if you'd like to see large scale quality improvements happening for Oceania and Australia like The Africa Destubathon, which has produced over 1700 articles in 5 weeks, sign up on the page. The idea will be an ongoing national editathon/challenge for the region but fuelled by a series of contests to really get articles on every province and subject mass improved. The Africa contest scaled worldwide would naturally provide great benefits to Oceania countries, particularly Australia and attract new editors. I would like some support from existing editors here to get the Challenges off to a start with some articles to make doing a Destubathon worthwhile and potentially bring about hundreds of improvements in a few weeks through a contest! Cheers.♦ --MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 02:12, 24 November 2016 (UTC)

 * My response on Schwede66's talk page. - Thank you for your polite and helpful note on my talk page bringing to my attention the reverting of my edit to the Margaret Butler (sculptor) article. Unfortunately I am unable to recall the circumstances of my contribution. However I hasten to reassure you that any infringement of copyright was unintended and not done maliciously. I will endeavour not to repeat this error. Should you discover any other edits where I have inadvertently infringed copyright please do not hesitate to revert the same. I appreciate the work you do policing Wikipedia. Sincerely
 * Hi there, well, it was pretty much a straight copy of the DNZB text. I needed a hand the other day from, who is much more of an export with copyviolations, with fixing up the Georgina Burne Hetley. Both these happened in March 2015. That was only a few months after you joined and Wikipedia has too vast a rulebook to immediately know all the dos and don'ts. Maybe what you should do is look through your early contributions and ensure that text is suitably paraphrased and not just copied (unless the source explicitly allows for this). And if you find further instances of this, please point me or Diannaa to it by using  or   when posting here.  Schwede  66  02:35, 12 March 2017 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for March 28
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Sarah Hoare, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page National Portrait Gallery. 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.

Taxoboxes
Hi! I've noticed that you've been making quite a few pages about species of moths. I just thought I'd let you know (to save some time) that there is an automatic taxobox system that doesn't require you to key in each parent taxon. I've been changing the ones that I see pass by Special:NewPagesFeed as I see them, but figured you might not be aware the system exists. Might save some time, and honestly thanks for your contributions, they're all really well-written :)  20:48, 6 June 2018 (UTC)
 * Thanks RetroCraft314 for that info. I've been coping the taxobox markup from similar species articles when starting to draft a new article (checking with the New Zealand Organisms register as I go) but will attempt to remember to use the species automatic taxobox system. Sorry in advance if I forget. I appreciate the help and you letting me know and thanks for the complement re my contributions. Ambrosia10 (talk) 22:29, 6 June 2018 (UTC)

Sandbox page
Just a reminder that sandbox pages are not allowed to be filed in articlespace categories. If it's really important to you that the category links be there, then you need to insert a leading colon before the word category (i.e. Category:Larentiinae ) so that it turns into a text link to the category rather than filing the page in the category, and then remove the colon only when the page is actually being moved into articlespace — if you don't want to do that, then you also have the alternative of just waiting until the page is moved to articlespace before introducing the category declarations at all. But as long as the page is in your sandbox it is not allowed to be filed in categories as if it were a finished article, so every time you readd them somebody has to remove them again — and User:Ambrosia10/sandbox has come back onto the "polluted category" maintenance list three times in the past 24 hours because you keep readding them again within minutes or hours of their being removed.

So please either use leading colons, or just don't add the categories at all, until you're moving the page into articlespace — it absolutely must not be categorized as a finished article if it's still in your sandbox. Please read WP:USERNOCAT if you need any further clarification. Thanks. Bearcat (talk) 20:34, 22 June 2018 (UTC)
