Point Walter Good Article Nomination
Hi there, We talked a while back when I was young and naive and thought I could edit Wikipedia to my hearts content and get all my studies done, which hasn't turned out to be successful (in that I haven't edited not that I've failed), but I remember you as a prominent figure in the Wikiproject Perth scene. Sorry if this isn't the place to go, or if you're not interested, but I've worked excessively on the page for Point Walter and I believe it could get to Good Article status. However, I've never nominated anything for good article before, and I wanted to check some things off with someone familiar with the subject and the process, which I imagine you are for both. I have a several issues beforehand for the article which I'm not sure need to be addressed before nomination:
 * Things that are actually part of nomination
 * 1b) "it complies with the manual of style guidelines for... list incorporation.
 * I had a bit of a read of this policy, and basically found that it's preferable for information to be listed in prose. However, in the geography section, there is a brief list which I don't know if the information contained would be contained in prose.
 * 2b) "all in-line citations are from reliable sources"
 * There are two sources that may raise issues, as of writing one of these is listed as source 20. It is a YouTube video, however, it is an official Melville City Council video from the official channel. The other source which I imagine will be more problematic is listed as source 22 as of writing this, and is by what appears to be a music reviewing subsidiary of Junkee, which I'm not 100% on in terms of reliability. However, it should be assessed as a standalone source, as Junkee was founded in 2013 and the article was published in 2007, so it appears Junkee bought the website 6 years later.
 * 2d) "it contains no copyright violations nor plagarism"
 * The text in the geography section is highly similar to the source's text. I attempted to change up the wording but I found it difficult to keep the wording concise while maintaining all the relevant information.
 * 3a) "it addresses the main aspects of the topic"
 * It is possible for me to go into a section on conservation, pulling parts from the flora and fauna section about pests and endangered species, and the erosion section, as well as including other information on weed management. However, that could be too in detail, which leads me into 3b
 * 3b) "# it stays focused on the topic without going into unnecessary detail (see summary style)."
 * I am slightly worried some of the information in the history section being perceived as too detailed, as I found it all interesting while researching, and despite my best efforts to cut information (such as about all the members of the Caporn family and the heritage listing of buildings etcetera), I feel like I may have gone too deep into it.


 * Things that aren't actually part of the nomination
 * Other issues I have with the article include: this website which is a source used expresses confusion over whether the state government purchased the site in 1907 or 1895. As later in the article it refers to it as 1907, I wrote that in the Wiki article, but should I specify that there is confusion?
 * There is a section in the page which says: "Point Walter is notable for the sandbar or spit that extends over 1 km into the river, sections of which are often submerged under high water." A spit is a different geographical entity from a sandbar, and it is called a spit in some sources and a sandbar in others. Since I couldn't get a geological survey of the land I just wrote that, which could be perceived as problematic. How would you address this?
 * I may have taken inline sources a bit too far, listing 2 sources 4 times in the text, and 1 source 5 times. I'm not really sure around policies around this.
 * Now we move onto the image section: modern photographs in the article are pretty trash (low quality), except for that nice panorama. The page image is on a noticeable tilt, and the last picture is very grainy. I am going down tomorrow to take better ones, but I won't be getting any from the other side of the river because that's a trek. According to the copyright section on the image from 1924, photographs "taken prior to 1 January 1955" are out of their copyright, which makes up most of the photographs on Trove. However, our article on Australian copyright confused me, because it makes it out that it has nothing to do with the date of the photo being taken, instead that it's all about when the author dies. Idk, and I don't really want to upload photos that could be in copyright without affirmation I'm in the right. To get some nice photos in the article, I'm trying to get in a nice collage of the birds which nest on the sandbank, so take that into account when you look at the image quality. I asked on the help desk here how I would go about doing that.

Well, they're all my grievances about the article, and looking at that, there's a lot, so if you can be bothered, can you answer some of my questions before a possible good article nomination? Cheers - JoshMuirWikipedia (talk) 13:57, 8 October 2017 (UTC)

Re: great to see
Yep, exactly. I've always thought that if we could have the editor base of 2005/06/07 combined with today's technical and social infrastructure, we could do even more amazing things. Graham 87 15:10, 8 October 2017 (UTC)


 * What's the social infrastructure around here like of late? Back when I was a wiki-kid social media was still in nappies itself. Has Wikipedia adapted much in that area? -- Longhair\talk 16:01, 8 October 2017 (UTC)

Western New Guinea
Hi JarrahTree,

I do not have yet much experience with Wikipedia, but I feel my understanding of and my skills to using the different Wikipedia tools will grow with time. Thank you for your warnings and recommendations.

As to the edit war in the Western New Guinea page: Davidelit reverted a couple of sentences I had added based on a lack of references. Fair enough. Now that I understand how to encode new references, I have undone the suppressions by Davidelit, edited the text and added two reliable references.

As to the POV issue: I am not aware of academic work that contradicts the two references that I have added.

All the best

Philippe

Just off hand. Can you help me stop going off my 'nana'?
Jarrah. Could you throw some light on a slight puzzle?

We have Ngaanyatjarra. It's just my guess, but they appear to correspond to the alternative name Tindale supplies for the Nana, i.e. Ngan:adjara (1974 p.249)

Tindale for the Warburton Ranges area has Ngadadjara, which I assumed is what is now written as Ngaatjatjarra. We don't have an article on these.

In contemporary scholarship the Ngaanyatjarra/Ngaatjatjarra are people speaking mutually intelligible dialects (Inge Kral, Talk, Text and Technology: Literacy and Social Practice in a Remote Indigenous Community, Multilingual Matters, 2012 isbn 978-1-847-69759-2 )

D'ya reckon it's okay for me to make the otherwise (speciously?) WP:OR inference that Tindale's Ngadadjara are what we now spell out as the Ngaatjatjarra, and create a page with that data under the latter name? I've convinced myself it's okay but with all this ethnonymic confusion, ya never-never no.Nishidani (talk) 16:07, 14 November 2017 (UTC)

Companies in and of the country
I notice you created Category:Trucking companies in Australia, which I put into Category:Transport companies of Australia, then I notice all the others in the latter were ... of Australia. I was going to request a speedy rename of the new cat, but Category_names and Category_names suggests that "in" is correct and "of" is wrong. I don't suppose you're motivated enough to raise a CfD to change all the "of"s ... Mitch Ames (talk) 00:25, 19 November 2017 (UTC)

Naeraberg
As you know, I've been out of the loop for a while. What to do about the duplication of Commons links on the article Naeraberg. You're an administrator over there are you not? Do you usually merge things of this type, since I believe we're talking about the same ship in two different places. You'll note one of the Commons categories has a list of names as a header intact.

New Page Reviewer Newsletter
Hello, thank you for your efforts reviewing new pages!

Backlog update: Outreach and Invitations:
 * The new page backlog is currently at 12713 pages. Please consider reviewing even just a few pages each day! If everyone helps out, it will really put a dent in the backlog.
 * Currently the backlog stretches back to March and some pages in the backlog have passed the 90 day Google index point. Please consider reviewing some of them!
 * If you know other editors with a good understanding of Wikipedia policy, invite them to join NPP by dropping the invitation template on their talk page with: . Adding more qualified reviewers will help with keeping the backlog manageable.

New Year New Page Review Drive
 * A backlog drive is planned for the start of the year, beginning on January 1st and running until the end of the month. Unique prizes will be given in tiers for both the total number of reviews made, as well as the longest 'streak' maintained.
 * Note: quality reviewing is extremely important, please do not sacrifice quality for quantity.

General project update: If you wish to opt-out of future mailings, go here. —  TonyBallioni (talk) 20:27, 12 December 2017 (UTC)
 * ACTRIAL has resulted in a significant increase in the quality of new submissions, with noticeably fewer CSD, PROD, and BLPPROD candidates in the new page feed. However, the majority of the backlog still dates back to before ACTRIAL started, so consider reviewing articles from the middle or back of the backlog.
 * The NPP Browser can help you quickly find articles with topics that you prefer to review from within the backlog.
 * To keep up with the latest conversation on New Pages Patrol or to ask questions, you can go to Wikipedia talk:New pages patrol/Reviewers and add it to your watchlist.

New Years new page backlog drive
Hello, thank you for your efforts reviewing new pages!

Announcing the NPP New Year Backlog Drive!

We have done amazing work so far in December to reduce the New Pages Feed backlog by over 3000 articles! Now is the time to capitalise on our momentum and help eliminate the backlog!

The backlog drive will begin on January 1st and run until January 29th. Prize tiers and other info can be found HERE.

Awards will be given in tiers in two categories:


 * The total number of reviews completed for the month.
 * The minimum weekly total maintained for all four weeks of the backlog drive.

NOTE: It is extremely important that we focus on quality reviewing. Despite our goal of reducing the backlog as much as possible, please do not rush while reviewing.

If you wish to opt-out of future mailings, go here. — TonyBallioni (talk) 20:24, 30 December 2017 (UTC)

Happy New Year!

It had a comma, not a full stop.--Grahame (talk) 01:05, 17 January 2018 (UTC)

Javanese script
It's been two years, but I have been bothered by these edits for a while as well. This misses proper context and is irrelevant, as not everyone has installed the Javanese font and not everyone is able to read this. Meursault2004 (talk) 09:24, 21 January 2018 (UTC)

WatchlistSorter.js
Hi,

I noticed your comment over at Evad's talk page, about how you tried to use this, and that your watchlist was too big.

If you don't mind my asking...

How big is your watchlist?

(Mine has over 6,800 pages in it, and it used to have over 8,000.)

I'm just trying to get a feel for what size this script will handle painlessly.

I look forward to your reply (please ping me when you do), The Transhumanist 08:19, 27 January 2018 (UTC)

, it was close to 50k :) I see your device usefull for lists @ 10k or less  JarrahTree 09:07, 27 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Wow, fifty thousand. That's huge. Nice.
 * How many days do you have your watchlist set for in your preferences? It would be nice to know if WatchlistSorter.js can handle this many at 1 days, 2 days, ..., 7 days, etc. Mine is set at 30 days which maxes out at 1000 edits shown. The Transhumanist 12:26, 27 January 2018 (UTC)

I would prefer offline on this stuff, I dont like sharing my inner most details that much JarrahTree 23:41, 27 January 2018 (UTC
