2016 Wikimedia Foundation Executive Director Search Community Survey
The Board of Trustees of the Wikimedia Foundation has appointed a committee to lead the search for the foundation’s next Executive Director. One of our first tasks is to write the job description of the executive director position, and we are asking for input from the Wikimedia community. Please take a few minutes and complete this survey to help us better understand community and staff expectations for the Wikimedia Foundation Executive Director.
 * Survey, (hosted by Qualtrics)

Speedy deletion nomination of 1996 in Australian music
Hello JarrahTree,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged 1996 in Australian music for deletion, because it doesn't appear to contain any encyclopedic content. Take a look at our suggestions for essential content in short articles to learn what should be included.

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion, but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. Xx236 (talk) 08:48, 9 June 2016 (UTC)
 * Hi JarrahTree.
 * Mate, I can see there are articles like 2010 in Australian music, 2012 in Australian music and so on. Unfortunately 1996 in Australian music doesn't appear to have any actual content apart from tags and categories, so it meets the criteria for speedy deletion.
 * Aah, 1996: when I went into a record shop, I'd go straight to the Alternative rock section, and usually end up buying a CD from the classical musical section. These days, I just go straight to the classical musical section.
 * Pete AU aka --Shirt58 (talk) 10:40, 9 June 2016 (UTC)

Still around
Haha, nice to hear from you Jarrah Tree. Yes, I'm still around but only intermittently. I got waylaid by my litblog so now I tend to do minor updates rather than major work here. If only there were more hours in the day, eh? Sterry2607 (talk) 05:11, 7 July 2016 (UTC)

Trying (in the adjectival sense) for consistency
Re: - please remember WP:TPO. It's not a talk page, I know, but it's not an article and they are still "Others' comments", so TPO should apply.

Also: Mitch Ames (talk) 13:21, 9 July 2016 (UTC)
 * What's the point of having a bullet point and a leading hyphen? The leading hyphen is just acting as an ASCII-only bullet point!
 * How about consistency with the bulk of previous attendee lists (eg 27, 28)

Indonesia category change - in case you came here wondering
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Categories_for_discussion/Log/2015_August_30#Visitor_attractions

That is in the instance of Visitor it becomes Tourist

WP:RS
Hey there JarrahTree - we were talking on the Australia wikiproject and you sent me a direct message to my talk page. Thank you for that!

I've been trying to find the best direct source of information for Australia being an island, and I've stumbled accross many academic works stating what needs to be stated about Australia being an island (even if some are factually incorrect, stating Island Continent - while the term Australia is both, it's referring to different things).

I'm trying to discern which of the following is the best source. This will help me identify good sources in future. The United Nations page used to have a really good differentiator for different Island types, etc - and listed Australia in a majority of them, however they have significantly condensed that page down to only writing about Islands that are not within the borders of a continent.

Is the one I like the most, it's got a lot of good, accurate data there - but I am unsure how to check if that would be a good RS or not.

is a document prepared by the Australian Geographic Teachers Association. I figured a document created by a committee of geographers, for teaching geography would be a solid source, but it doesn't go into much detail beyond stating "Australia is an Island"

Has another statement of "Australia is an Island" but this time it's attributable to a person, rather than an entity, however it isn't mentioned in the actual lecture it mentions.

Is directly from the military of Australia - I can find quite a few of these on both Army and Navy websites, as well as other governmental websites, but this one is dated and is a PDF.

The problem with finding good sources for this is because it's a "Sky is blue" situation. You might see high academic sources talk about the Sky being blue. You might occassionally see them mention in passing why that is in very brief terms, but they don't go on about it - because it's stuff you learn long before hitting a University or some such.

Is it worth using a primary source like the army.gov.au one for the direct statement of Australia being an Island, then the worldatlas.com a secondary source for further information?

Thank you for helping me out BaneWilliams (talk) 05:07, 22 August 2016 (UTC)

OK, I personally try to avoid the issue you bring here - the amount of time and space wasted on australasia;, oceania and such topics and how they 'fit' - it is one thing to have an on-line encyclopedia, another is to have the facility to reach consensus on subjects, amongst some who want to have their WP:POINT - as everything is open and available and out there. After 10 years, it is possible to reach a point where it is not worth venturing down most rabbit holes at all.

So I am probably the last person you should engage with :)

Australia, the nation; Australia, the continent; Australia, the island; Australia, the geological province; Australia, the ecoregion; Australia, etc.

When the policy sits - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Identifying_reliable_sources

However, I really cannot help you that much, I do not like most online sources, so it is a personal issue - apart from Trove or Geosciences Australia

The problem of a wikipedia article about the nature of Australia's 'island' continent state/status - and trying to ascertain which of the above sources would be the most appropriate to use, I wouldnt actually use any of them. Remember this a personal interpretation, to get a better understanding of working practice I stongly recommend you look at existing Australian GA's - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_Australia/Featured_and_good_content#Good_articles - have a close look at a group of them - have a sense of what the type of refs they use... it is not any one editors work, but the collaborative work of combined efforts can give you a much better perspective as to why and how the types of sources make good articles work...

Sorry I cannot be of more help in the situation JarrahTree 12:39, 22 August 2016 (UTC)


 * Thank you for taking the time out to discuss it with me. I know it's probably the silliest thing to tackle such a large project head on like this, and I definitely understand that getting any consensus on an issue is difficult enough. You might not think you were much help in the situation, but you truly were. I will do my best to make sure I approach it with the most amount of information I can, and the links you have posted only help towards that end. Feel free to delete this now if you wish, and thank you again! BaneWilliams (talk) 13:39, 22 August 2016 (UTC)

Nah - the thing is there would be a very good idea to have a look at talk pages that deals with all the aspects of Australia and the context of what it is and where it fits:


 * Talk:Australasia
 * Australasian_ecozone
 * Australian_Plate
 * Talk:Australia/Archive_index

I think there is a need for the development of a a good article that clearly co-ordinates and separates the range of physical attributes of the geological, ecological, context JarrahTree 13:59, 22 August 2016 (UTC)


 * I concur with the fact that there is this need. I've been using Trove pretty significantly now, thank you for showing me that (Significantly better than trying to find good sources via google!). I'll spend time over the next couple of days reading up on the talk in those areas and see what I can do.


 * can you imagine if we had an island about half the size of australia, but then about twice the size of greenland? were just lucky there is a big gap in the progression of land mass sizes from greenland to australia, otherwise we may never know what to call them.Mercurywoodrose (talk) 03:14, 26 August 2016 (UTC)

References: 30em
I notice you set reference column widths to 30em on quite a few articles, with no comment in the edit history as to why. If you think it sufficiently important to change on a variety of pages, perhaps you should propose a change to Reflist to make it the default. Or is there some undisclosed rule-of-thumb that you use to decide whether 30em is appropriate in each case? In which case perhaps the template should be changed to use that rule-of-thumb by default? It would make sense to have the machine do the work automatically, rather than have an editor repeatedly adding the same option. Mitch Ames (talk) 11:45, 24 August 2016 (UTC)

Category:Events
Actually, thinking about it, what really belongs in the Time Wikiproject? should all subcategories of Category:Time be in it? should it be only for articles about time itself, or about anything that exists in time, like events? I don't know what the project decided on, and it may be semi active. interesting philosophical problem, one of the many facing us students of Bibliography (library science).Mercurywoodrose (talk) 03:11, 26 August 2016 (UTC)

Thanks for the message. You are correct. I misread the sequence of edits or misinterpreted one of them. Only the IP user whom you pointed out is the problem editor. I struck my message on the other IP user's page, left an explanation and some helpful Wikipedia page links, and a word of encouragement. I also entered a null edit so I could leave an edit summary stating that the other IP user's edit was correct. I did that so no one would be misled by my previous revert. I hope that clears things up, although we still may need to watch for vandalism by the other IP editor. A few more such edits and I am sure he will be blocked. Thanks again.

Ta for the OK on Swan Express stuff. Btw, if you're a map freak, do you have any ideas on my query about the BP Kwinana one? Cheers, Bjenks (talk) 05:02, 30 August 2016 (UTC)

Category pages
JarrahTree, I'm sorry you feel that I wasn't acting in good faith by discussing your changes elsewhere (your talk page, perhaps? Nobody reads category talk pages) before going to the WikiProject talk page. It wasn't intended as an attack. I just had a gut feeling about this one, but didn't have the time to research the relevant policies, so I thought it would be more efficient to crowdsource the issue.

 * Well...that's not the sort of thing one can understand by reading about it, really. One has to experience it firsthand (something which I've not done - I've known a few Australians, but never visited the country, a defect which I hope one day to rectify.)  I think that's the case with most such cultural things; as a Southerner I've found that almost nobody really knows how to explain our way of life satisfactorily. --<font face="Old English Text MT">Ser Amantio di Nicolao Che dicono a Signa?Lo dicono a Signa. 04:54, 8 September 2016 (UTC)


 * I've heard the same thing about the Korean peninsula, as it happens - there's an incredible amount of cultural variation within a fairly small geographic area.
 * I'm a Virginian, and the only person I've ever read who actually seems to understand that we're different from other Southerners is Margaret Mitchell, funnily enough - there's a throwaway line near the beginning of Gone With the Wind that gets the distinction exactly. --<font face="Old English Text MT">Ser Amantio di Nicolao Che dicono a Signa?Lo dicono a Signa. 12:45, 8 September 2016 (UTC)

The 10,000 Challenge
Hi, at The 10,000 Challenge we're striving to bring about 10,000 article improvements and creations for the UK and Ireland and inspire others to create more content. In order to achieve this we need diversity of content, in all parts of the UK and Ireland on all topics. Eventually a regional contest will be held for all parts of the British Isles, like they were for Wales and the Wedt Country. We currently have just over 1900 articles and need contributors! If you think you'd be interested in collaborating on this and helping reach the target quicker, please sign up and begin listing your entries there as soon as possible! Thanks.♦ --MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 13:40, 28 September 2016 (UTC)

WP:YEARS
I'll add it in - nobody's ever asked for it before, truth be told, so I didn't think there was much interest. --<font face="Old English Text MT">Ser Amantio di Nicolao Che dicono a Signa?Lo dicono a Signa. 13:49, 30 September 2016 (UTC)
 * Fair enough. I'll remember the next time I have a set of by-years talkpages to create. --<font face="Old English Text MT">Ser Amantio di Nicolao Che dicono a Signa?Lo dicono a Signa. 13:59, 30 September 2016 (UTC)
 * Well, my own feeling - and I could certainly be off-base in this - is that it doesn't do much good to overload a talkpage with templates. I'll do it if requested, but otherwise I tend to try for the one or two most relevant WikiProjects and stick to those.  --<font face="Old English Text MT">Ser Amantio di Nicolao Che dicono a Signa?Lo dicono a Signa. 14:08, 30 September 2016 (UTC)
 * I couldn't agree more - there are plenty of occasions when not all projects are created equal, at least as regards their suitability for any one particular page. --<font face="Old English Text MT">Ser Amantio di Nicolao Che dicono a Signa?Lo dicono a Signa. 14:17, 30 September 2016 (UTC)
 * Indeed. I have an optometrist to see (ha) who's going to wonder about the undue strain I've been putting on my eyes...


 * Ah, well. Keep up the good work, and happy editing! --<font face="Old English Text MT">Ser Amantio di Nicolao Che dicono a Signa?Lo dicono a Signa. 14:25, 30 September 2016 (UTC)
 * Well, we've been having our own storms here. There were flood warnings yesterday - don't know how those panned out, but everything seems OK here at home. Elsewhere in the county I'm not so sure. --<font face="Old English Text MT">Ser Amantio di Nicolao Che dicono a Signa?Lo dicono a Signa. 14:32, 30 September 2016 (UTC)

Jumping the gun on mines
It might have been polite to wait until the discussion re the category name(s) was resolved, before moving List of iron mines in Australia. Mitch Ames (talk) 03:33, 11 October 2016 (UTC)

Little Island (Western Australia)
Please explain this revert, which both removed references to reliable sources and, against policy, reinstated a contested WP:PROD template. 86.17.222.157 (talk) 10:29, 12 October 2016 (UTC)

You need to look at the full text of the first source, not just the abstract. The first source confirms the sea lion viewing and the second the snorkelling trail. It is your edit that goes against policy, not mine, so please don't issue warnings to me. 86.17.222.157 (talk) 10:54, 12 October 2016 (UTC)

Yangebup
I was wondering if you could do me a favour- there has been a recent edit to the Yangebup article, which is bordering on promotional. I would make changes myself but I suspect that the editor is from one of the local resident groups so politically probably not the best for my name to be on any edits. Anyway if you could give it a look over it would be much appreciated. Dan arndt (talk) 23:45, 13 October 2016 (UTC)

Thanks for adding the Talk page on "Blood Red, Sister Rose". I'm mostly adding them but the occasional one gets missed as I move around adding the relevant links to the page I've just created. Must do better! Cheers, Perry Middlemiss (talk) 21:14, 18 October 2016 (UTC)

Indeed, its been a long time. Not been here that much in the last few years. Good question about the map. I did look around for a more CBD type svg image but didn't find one. I looked around some Perth pages and could only find the one I used. I did see this and thought it at least gave the wider context : There also aren't that many Perth buildings with info boxes. I'm wondering if someone needs to create a new svg - unless you can find one that already exists?

Cheers SeanMack (talk) 05:49, 21 November 2016 (UTC)


 * Edit
 * I had a little play around with the co-ord template - from the globe link of the WikiMiniAtlas it's now set to open it's map at the CBD level. Otherwise I guess an extract could be done from Open Street Map? SeanMack (talk) 01:13, 22 November 2016 (UTC)


 * What would you suggest? SeanMack (talk) 01:13, 22 November 2016 (UTC)


 * no offence but i think CBD located items shouldnt have a map in the first place - I would have thought that outside cbd items deserve a map, but the level of cartographically charged info items in the city are sufficient for any visitor or searcher - almost to the point of tmi... too much info JarrahTree 03:25, 22 November 2016 (UTC)

I only started it because I noticed that the high temperature at Fitzroy Crossing was incorrect (yes, I actually know that value off-hand ... that's really sad, I know). Then I went on to York, because I knew that that town had a similar situation with two weather-recording sites. That's all I feel like doing in this area right now.

Proposed deletion of Wheatbelt regions of Australia‎


The article Wheatbelt regions of Australia‎ has been proposed for deletion. The proposed deletion notice added to the article should explain why.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.
 * We seem to have more Wheatbelts than you can poke a stalk at. Mitch Ames (talk) 23:29, 3 December 2016 (UTC)

Grumpy Old Man UBX?
I'm wanting to locate a "Grumpy Old Man" UBX. Can you help me? (Thanks in advance.) Pdfpdf (talk) 09:35, 3 December 2016 (UTC)

capital city portals
Coats of Arms: this problem exists for all Australian capital cities, not just Perth - see Portal talk:Sydney for my views on the problem. (For Perth, substitute "the Bell Tower" for "the Opera House, or of the Harbour Bridge".) A similar problem applies to US cities. The portals devoted to US cities display the city flag of the relevant city, even if that flag doesn't apply to the whole of that city's metro area. But we can't adopt that practice for Australian cities, because some of them (eg Hobart, Canberra) don't have an official city flag, whereas they all have an official Coat of Arms.

In the near future, I will probably put a note on the talk page of each Australian city portal (there's now a Portal:Brisbane as well) so that other editors know what's happening. Bahnfrend (talk) 08:41, 5 December 2016 (UTC)

Infoempresa - deleted page
Good morning Jarrah Tree, Infoempresa page has been deleted and I wanted to clarify that Infoempresa is not unambiguously promotional, because it´s content is purely informational, based solely on the company´s business purpose and services. In this sense, several information sources have been included which portray the existence, acknowledgement and use of this service, coming from independent, objective sources (the media). Moreover, the content is purely information based and avoids all sorts of vocabulary and adjectives which appeals to the quality of the service or that of Infoempresa - being a neutral, unintentional language. It´s also worth noting that the service´s social media profiles have been removed to avoid confussion concerning the intentionality of this service, which is purely informational. Lastly, its worth noting that other sector peers have their page which in terms of content is virtually the same as that of Infoempresa, such as: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SIX_Financial_Information. Many thanks I would be grateful if you could provide some advice in order for the content to be sufficiently suitable. Although it´s already framed through neutral language angle.(Clara de las Heras (talk)

Happy New Year, JarrahTree!

The single word comment "rubbish" here is not helpful. A few more words indicating what you think is rubbish – in particular: the proposed deletion, or the removal there of – would be helpful. Mitch Ames (talk) 00:40, 2 January 2017 (UTC)

Declined speedy deletion nomination of Mystery dorm
Hello JarrahTree. Speedy deletion work is important and I do appreciate the effort. I would just ask that you please review the criteria carefully because accuracy is also important. On that issue, I have declined your speedy deletion nomination of Mystery dorm as an article that does not credibly indicate the importance or significance of the topic under CSD A7. That criterion did not apply because the article was about a video game, and A7 only applies to articles on real persons or groups, individual animals, organisations, web content and organised events.. Adam9007 (talk) 02:21, 2 January 2017 (UTC)

Please don't add no-content/no-context tags immediately to articles. The suggestion is to wait at least 10 to 15 minutes perhaps. Thanks for understanding. Lourdes 14:40, 4 January 2017 (UTC)

Hi, I removed your A1 tag on the article above. You can pretty easily determine what the content is about, and it has content other than the link, so A3 wouldn't be an appropriate tag here either. Just letting you know in case you want to take it through one of the other deletion processes. TonyBallioni (talk) 23:49, 2 January 2017 (UTC)

Hello JarrahTree, I have removed A7 from this article. The article claims that the subject is the current ambassador of Mexico to few African nations. I believe these claims are credible enough to bypass A7 nomination.

 * I didn't say that he was, but I also couldn't find an RS specifically saying he wasn't, so thought it better for the article not to mention it. There probably is one around giving when he became involved but it might take a bit more digging. (It all sounds very complicated!) Frickeg (talk) 06:23, 7 January 2017 (UTC)

Your email
I have read your email, and I am certain that what you said is right, though it doesn't actually matter, as the person had already been blocked by the time I read your email. However, it took me a while to find the account you were referring to, because the name you gave was not exactly the user name of the editor involved, so I had to do quite a bit of searching to find it. I mention that in order to suggest that you be careful in future to give user names, page titles, etc, exactly as they are, as it can make things far easier.

Hi

The editors are probably unfamiliar with Kelley wise because in the world of patents the agreements between corporations and inventors tend to be very confidential but Kelly Wise developed the first modern streaming app and the first modern streaming server and was able to be granted US patents for streaming to a browser streaming to a buffer and streaming to a virtual machine if you check the highest number patent on the list of patents that are shown on the Kelley wise Wikipedia page you will see that it clearly shows the US government has acknowledged Kelley wise is the inventor of streaming to a buffer streaming to a Sandbox streaming to a browser and streaming to a virtual machine. This is extremely notable because all apps that incorporates streaming are based on this technology including Wikipedia. All of the major corporations in Silicon Valley that make apps of any type that involves streaming of any form or receiving legal notice letters it is hundreds of companies and if not that sounds so the process takes a long time.

January 2017
Hi JarrahTree: Thanks for the work on my Australia-related ships. How do I add a portal notice for shipwrecks when I create an article, and do you want to be notified about all that I come across, or only major ones. I so, what is the criterion for major? Regards, Acad Ronin (talk) 13:18, 22 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Hi there, you just simply add Portal and add which portal belongs to. Ex:  KGirlTrucker81 huh? what I've been doing 13:33, 22 January 2017 (UTC)

Create Page and edit
Dear,

I would like to create an all-new wiki page about new DH Music production. But, I have got message that my edits not confirmed. My page is at next link: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DH_Music Damir Handanovic is an own of self music production, named DH Music. So, do you have any suggestion about it? How can I create this page, please help me.

Second, in page info I must change details. I would like to change text in red shape. There is a wrong information. Instead of Grand Production, I must put DH Music. Damir Handanovic has an own music production companu. So, could you please help me and solve it. At next link is my explanation.

New Page Reviewer
Hello JarrahTree. Your account has been added to the " " user group, allowing you to review new pages and mark them as patrolled, tag them for maintenance issues, or in some cases, tag them for deletion. The list of articles awaiting review is located at the New Pages Feed. New page reviewing is a vital function for policing the quality of the encylopedia, if you have not already done so, you must read the new tutorial at New Pages Review, the linked guides and essays, and fully understand the various deletion criteria. If you need more help or wish to discuss the process, please join or start a thread at page reviewer talk. The reviewer right does not change your status or how you can edit articles. If you no longer want this user right, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. In case of abuse or persistent inaccuracy of reviewing, the right can be revoked at any time by an administrator. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 13:44, 23 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Please consider helping get the huge backlog down to a manageable number of pages as soon as possible.
 * Be nice to new users - they are often not aware of doing anything wrong.
 * You will frequently be asked by users to explain why their page is being deleted - be formal and polite in your approach to them too, even if they are not.
 * Don't review a page if you are not sure what to do. Just leave it for another reviewer.
 * Remember that quality is quintessential to good patrolling. Take your time to patrol each article, there is no rush. Use the message feature and offer basic advice.

British Empire
Unfortunately the question you raised at User talk:Jaguar doesn't really have a clear cut answer as far as Australia is concerned.

Australia's various colonies did become states upon federation on 1 January 1901, but that doesn't mean that they were also immediately "removed from the shackles of the London based bureacuracy of the empire" as you have suggested.

As far as the Commonwealth (ie the Australian federal government) is concerned, the shackles were not removed until 1942, when the Commonwealth adopted the Statute of Westminster 1931, with retrospective effect from 3 September 1939, the beginning of World War II. As far as the states (viewed separately from the Commonwealth (ie federal government)) were concerned, the shackles remained in place until long after the empire was effectively replaced by the Commonwealth of Nations in 1949. To be precise, the states-binding shackles were removed only by the Australia Acts, which came into effect on 3 March 1986.

So perhaps Australia Day should be 3 March, not 26 January. Bahnfrend (talk) 16:02, 31 January 2017 (UTC)

New Page Review - newsletter No.2
Hello , We now have New Page Reviewers! Most of us requested the user right at PERM, expressing a wish to be able to do something about the huge backlog, but the chart on the right does not demonstrate any changes to the pre-user-right levels of October. The backlog is still steadily growing at a rate of 150 a day or 4,650 a month. Only 20 reviews a day by each reviewer over the next few days would bring the backlog down to a managable level and the daily input can then be processed by each reviewer doing only 2 or 3 reviews a day - that's about 5 minutes work! It didn't work in time to relax for the Xmas/New Year holidays. Let's see if we can achieve our goal before Easter, otherwise by Thanksgiving it will be closer to. Remember that we are the only guardians of quality of new articles, we alone have to ensure that pages are being correctly tagged by non-Reviewer patrollers and that new authors are not being bitten. This is even more important and extra vigilance is required considering Orangemoody,  and
 * A HUGE backlog
 * Second set of eyes
 * Abuse
 * 1) this very recent case of paid advertising by a Reviewer resulting  in  a community ban.
 * 2) this case in January of paid advertising by a Reviewer, also resulting in  a community ban.
 * 3) This Reviewer is indefinitely blocked for sockpuppetry.

Coordinator election
Kudpung is stepping down after 6 years as unofficial coordinator of New Page Patrolling/Reviewing. There is enough work for two people and two coords are now required. Details are at NPR Coordinators; nominate someone or nominate yourself. Date for the actual suffrage will be published later. Discuss this newsletter here.

Australian Football
Hi Jarrah

Thanks for your message, but I think you misunderstand. The AFL Womens competition started on the weekend and I was just adding links to all of the women who currently have a page on Wiki. I am linking them to AustralianFootball.com which is site dedicated to Australian Football and they are regarded as an elite site for Australian rules football history and statistics. They are the only site at the moment who carry the statistics for the AFL womens competition, so I thought it would be worth linking, as they are the only historical source for both profile and statistics. So it may have looked like I was spamming, but I was just trying to help out Wiki.

Cheers,

Alex

Lonelyape94 (talk) 12:06, 5 February 2017 (UTC)
 * Your correct about the links you've added but please read WP:SPAM and WP:EXTERNALLINKS before inserting more. A little note to JT: I don't think the link is spammy enough hehehe ;)   KGirlTrucker81 huh? what I've been doing 12:16, 5 February 2017 (UTC)== Disambiguation pages ==

Hello, JarrahTree. When you moved James Fox to a new title and then redirected the old title to a disambiguation page, you may not have been aware of WP:FIXDABLINKS, which says:
 * When creating disambiguation pages, fix all resulting mis-directed links.
 * Before moving an article to a qualified name (in order to create a disambiguation page at the base name, to move an existing disambiguation page to that name, or to redirect that name to a disambiguation page), click on What links here to find all of the incoming links. Repair all of those incoming links to use the new article name.

It would be a great help if you would check the other Wikipedia articles that contain links to "James Fox" and fix them to take readers to the correct article. Thanks. R'n'B (call me Russ) 11:03, 25 January 2017 (UTC)
