Welcome!

Hello, Jack Greenmaven, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are some pages that you might find helpful: I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your messages on discussion pages using four tildes ( ~ ); this will automatically insert your username and the date. If you need help, check out Questions, ask me on my talk page, or ask your question on this page and then place  before the question. Again, welcome! -- John of Reading (talk) 20:13, 10 November 2010 (UTC)

 * How to edit a page and How to develop articles
 * How to create your first article (using the Article Wizard if you wish)
 * Manual of Style

Jackaroo
Please don't expand the Jackaroo page. It is a disambiguation page, designed to help readers find the article that they really wanted to see. To do that job it needs to stay small, with just a one-line description of each possible meaning.

If you have more material about the Australian agricultural workers, I think you have two sensible options:
 * Add the material to the page Station (Australian agriculture) in the section labelled "Personnel"
 * Convert the redirection page Jackaroo (trainee) into an article. You could begin by following this link and replace the first line with your new text. -- John of Reading (talk) 20:13, 10 November 2010 (UTC)

Jackaroo draft
Yes, User:Jack Greenmaven/Jackaroo Draft is looking good. I'm not an experienced reviewer, really, but here are two style points to be going on with: Picture copyrights are tricky, and the answer is usually 'no'. If you have the URL of a picture that you'd like to use, you could ask about it at Media copyright questions. -- John of Reading (talk) 09:28, 15 November 2010 (UTC)
 * 1) Ideally Wikipedia sources should be formatted in a structured way using the "cite" templates; see Citation templates. I've reformatted one of your references using "cite web" as an example.
 * 2) If the source is given in the footnote, you don't have to spell it out in such detail in the article text. It might be enough to say something like " A 1929 newspaper column said a Jackaroo is .... ".


 * Thanks for this. I am assuming you have this page on your watchlist? Greenmaven (talk) 18:05, 16 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Yes, at least for a few weeks. I'm currently watching 242 pages - several "help" noticeboards, some articles where I'm genuinely involved in the content, others where I've removed vandalism, user pages where I've been offering help to beginners, and so on and so on. It just keeps growing. -- John of Reading (talk) 20:14, 16 November 2010 (UTC)

Jackaroo
I went ahead and left a message on User:R'n'B's talk page.I requested that he take a look and comment on my page. If you'd like to just go to his page and ask him, thats fine too. He's much more of an expert as to what should be a disam page and what shouldn't be then I am. He's also an admin. I've always been a bit fuzzy on that one. :) --User:Woohookitty Disamming fool! 10:49, 17 November 2010 (UTC)

Reply from Maias
Hi Greenmaven. Thanks for your message; friendly greetings are very much appreciated. You appear to have inadvertently created a new subpage of my talk page for your message, so I have moved it to my talk page, which is here, as well as copying this, my reply, to your talk page. I hope you are enjoying editing Wikipedia. Cheers. Maias (talk) 23:09, 25 November 2010 (UTC)

Jackaroo (trainee)
I finally put this article into the public space on 30 May 2011. So far no one has rapped me over the knuckles for breaching WP protocols. I chose to take someone's advice and replace a redirect line with my material. So far so good...

The earlier article was minimal and misleading as of 12th November, 2010.

I would be delighted to receive photographic or other images of Jackaroos, especially if you own the copyright or it is in the Public Domain. Contact me, if you can help, in my 'talk' space under the 'discussion' tab above left. Greenmaven (talk) 01:57, 2 June 2011 (UTC)

I was so discouraged over the difficulty of publishing this material that I gave up editing for a while. I still think that 'Jackaroo', as I have described it, is a primary term and a disambiguation page should not be necessary. However I will leave that for another day or another editor. As long as my contribution can be reached without difficulty I am satisfied. Greenmaven (talk) 02:58, 2 June 2011 (UTC)

Hi, your user is in Category:Wikipedians in the Australian Capital Territory, since I have done a bit of inviting to these events I looks for clues like that! By the way we have C asm and awk in common as well as location. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 03:30, 3 June 2011 (UTC)

Theatre Bizarre
I'm uncomfortable tagging Theatre Bizarre as A7, given 4 refs, one of which is the NYT, and discussing the subject in some depth, not just a passing reference. It may well be that this coverage is still insufficient to survive an AfD, but I do not see it as so clear that it deserves a CSD.-- SPhilbrick  T  11:07, 16 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Thanks for your comments and decision Greenmaven (talk) 22:36, 16 June 2011 (UTC)
 * No problem. It takes some time to get a good sense of what the community has decided - I've been around a few years and still learning.-- SPhilbrick  T  01:11, 17 June 2011 (UTC)

CSD rationale
Jack, Pete Lalich, now User:RonSigPi/Pete Lalich wasn't really close to A7. Someone who has played professional basketball at the highest level is easily notable. The article did have a problem, naming that it had no references, and we do not allow unreferenced articles in main space, but the best solution, when it appears that there is an editor interested in working on it, is to userfy the article.-- SPhilbrick  T  14:15, 17 June 2011 (UTC)
 * By 'userfy' do you mean move to user space? This article seemed unreferenced and I thought it might have been abandoned for 30 days. Regards Greenmaven (talk) 21:19, 17 June 2011 (UTC)

Speedy deletion converted to PROD: Passion : Here For You
Hello Jack Greenmaven. I am just letting you know that I have converted the speedy deletion tag that you placed on Passion : Here For You to a proposed deletion tag, because I do not believe CSD applies to the page in question. Thank you. Salvio Let's talk about it! 12:11, 18 June 2011 (UTC)
 * That's fine!! Greenmaven (talk) 12:16, 18 June 2011 (UTC)

Invalid CSD A7
Hi there, in regards to this edit], WP:CSD A7s are only for no claims of notability, and like or not, playing in the AFL is a claim of notability.The-Pope (talk) 14:26, 18 June 2011 (UTC)
 * OK. Greenmaven (talk) 15:56, 18 June 2011 (UTC)

Agreed that he's a real person, but the article was still a straight-up copyright violation. Lankiveil (speak to me) 09:21, 23 June 2011 (UTC).

Thanks for your comment on Mote Park (cricket ground). I have now added a photograph from the Geograph library (via Wikimedia). Cheers Dick G (talk) 11:28, 27 June 2011 (UTC)

Essay
Hi, thanks for your brief comment. I have now added a date to my essay. It is slightly anachronistic now as it was written at a time when I was slightly frustrated by a FAC process on Wormshill. I do not edit to any great degree any more and my views are doubtless (hopefully?) reflective of past practices. Thanks for stopping by Dick G (talk) 10:44, 29 June 2011 (UTC)

Hello Jack Greenmaven. I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion of Een ster in de familie, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: There is sufficient context to identify the subject of the article.

You're invited to the Canberra WikiMeetup on 20 November 2011
Hi! We're having a Canberra Wikimeetup on 20 November 2011 at Siren Bar in Gunghalin from 2pm to 4pm. It's most just a chance to chat with other local Wikipedians, get a chance to go a different sort of bar (which is reasonably kid friendly, serves real food, and has non-alcholic options), and, if you're interested, learning more about what Wikimedia Australia and local GLAM projects are happening. We'd love to see you and any Wikipedia/Wikimedia/wiki loving friends you have there. --LauraHale (talk) 07:11, 31 October 2011 (UTC)

Speedy deletion converted to PROD: 1200 in Ireland

Speedy deletion nomination of Category:National Parks of Italy


A tag has been placed on Category:National Parks of Italy requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section C1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the category has been empty for four days or more and it is not presently under discussion at Categories for discussion, or at disambiguation categories.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

The category has been emptied because its contents have been moved to the pre-existing category Category:National parks of Italy. Thank you. Starcheerspeaksnewslostwars (talk) 02:38, 28 November 2011 (UTC)

Tiger Airways Aust.
I've reverted your edit over at the Tiger Australia page. It looks more of the blog author just copy/pastes from Wikipedia on their entries. Effectively making it a "mirror" site of such. Sb617 (Talk) 02:26, 2 December 2011 (UTC)

License tagging for File:Shanghai tram, British section, 1920s, John Rossman's collection.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:Shanghai tram, British section, 1920s, John Rossman's collection.jpg. You don't seem to have indicated the license status of the image. Wikipedia uses a set of image copyright tags to indicate this information.

To add a tag to the image, select the appropriate tag from this list, click on this link, then click "Edit this page" and add the tag to the image's description. If there doesn't seem to be a suitable tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Wikipedia. For help in choosing the correct tag, or for any other questions, leave a message on Media copyright questions. Thank you for your cooperation. --ImageTaggingBot (talk) 10:06, 5 December 2011 (UTC)

Hi. In your recent article edits, you've added some links to disambiguation pages. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. For more information, see the FAQ or drop a line at the DPL WikiProject.

List of military equipment of Sweden
Hello. Forgive me if this is the wrong way to put up a message, I have no experience of doing so. You proposed my article "List of military equipment of Sweden" for deletion due to lack of references supporting the information. I put a lot of effort in making the article, so naturally I don't want it to be deleted. I believe that the links in the article should cover enough references, and if they don't, then I will need help in putting up the correct references or sources.

Hi, Thanks, and ... My Current Plan. :)
Hello and thank you for the welcome! As far as what my current plan is, I thought for now I might add a bit more substance to the Stregheria article.-- Branwen70  (Talk)  13:52, 12 December 2011 (UTC)

Since I last looked at the Stregheria article a few days back someone has already updated it with some fairly comprehensive information, therefore, I'm looking for something else to do. Have any recommendations? :P -- Branwen70  (Talk)  19:17, 12 December 2011 (UTC)


 * I have found it interesting to patrol new pages. This means you are helping to maintain the quality of WP. See New pages patrol. It's a good way to see what is out there and what the overall quality and conventions are. I have found it very useful to use Twinkle. This allows you to put 'maintainance tags' on articles to indicate where they can be improved.


 * Having done that for a while, I started doing the work to improve the articles, so that I could take off the tags. See WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors, where there are lists of articles needing attention for every month of the backlog. There are always improvements you can make to these articles without knowing anything about the subject matter. I got frustrated by the new articles because so many of them are on sports and entertainment in which I am not interested.


 * To find other articles that interest you, you could try clicking on the 'witchcraft' category at the bottom of 'Stregheria'. Actually I am also trying to find articles that I find interesting enough to want to work on. Let me know ways of doing it that work for you, and I may be able to do something similar. I assume you have figured out how to 'watch' pages? --Greenmaven (talk) 20:08, 12 December 2011 (UTC)

Yes, I've figured out the watchlist. Thanks for your advice. I'll browse around the new articles for a bit and find something to do, no doubt. Your suggestions seem to be the most sensible. -- Branwen70  (Talk)  14:00, 13 December 2011 (UTC)

List of military occupations
Hi!

I am sorry to be rude but I don't know what shold I say so let's get right to my controversial edit at List of military occupations.

1. as well as I know Israel invaded Lebanon in 6 June 1982 and not at 1978 - it shold be tested.

2. The ccupation of the Gaza Strip by Israel has ended in 2005 at the Israel's unilateral disengagement plan, Israel disengaged its military forces from the Gaza Strip and no longer occupying the territory.

3. the "West bank" shold not be considered as an occupied territory because it was never been a legal territory of any naition. so, according to the international law it is not an "occupied territory" however it is a "disputed teritory". this is a video witch exemplifies my views - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p-ayacNgHgQ&feature=context&context=G28ecd38RVAAAAAAAAAQ

4. I checked the issue and I realized that my edit about occupied Golan Heights was incorrect - my apology

5. East Jerusalem is part of Jerusalem - the capital city of Isrel, Except for a few Jordanian bunkers and Jerusalem's old city it was nothing in East Jerusalem until 1967. when Israel controled the city Homes, neighborhoods and parks were built and used by people of all religions - In contrast to the time of Jordanian rule Which allowed freedom of religion and residence only to Muslims. and denied access of Jews and Christians to their holy places.

Therefore I re-editing this page. — Preceding unsigned comment added by פליקס במנהרת הזמן (talk • contribs) 00:50, 19 December 2011 (UTC)
