Thanks for your welcome message, it looks like the Wikipedia page on me has been vandalised a couple of times, but strangely I can’t find any editing history that points to which user did it. Any idea as to how to check?

Pipe band (and bagpipe) notability
Hi, thought you might be interested in helping work out a policy for notability in piping at WikiProject_Bagpipes? It seems that there can be quite different understandings of what constitutes notability, especially as a lot of piping coverage is well outside of mainstream media. There are quite a few articles that exist that I suspect are not notable - User:Ostrichyearning3/nn - and many many more notable articles that do not exist yet. But would be useful if there was a clear distinction! best, Ostrichyearning3 (talk) 12:00, 27 March 2020 (UTC)

Thank you for welcome msg
Thank you for recommending sources. Meme Lord 519 (talk) 09:24, 28 March 2020 (UTC)

Thank you for messaging me (March 31, 2020)
Thank you for messaging me but i found this NON-LOGIN user Special:Contributions/139.192.224.172 keep spreading not-accurate data and low quality picture and information without references, as you can check (Check here!) all of his/her editing is very weird and not left any actual and legitimate references uses?

and she/he already got mentioned before for vandalizing so many pages. so that's why im reverting the page to the previous one before he/she edit it without legitimate sources.

conclusion: that might causing she/he to be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you vandalize Wikipedia, as you did at Srivijaya, East Java, Jambi, Riau and further more on this -->>> (Check here!). Vif12vf/Tiberius (talk) 12:18, 23 March 2020 (UTC)


 * If this is a shared IP address, and you did not make the edits referred to above, consider creating an account for yourself or logging in with an existing account so that you can avoid further irrelevant notices.

Ok I move the section already at this very bottom one. But I think I will stop contributing and editing on those pages prevent to stop edit war, I let you to fix this. I also don't know how to stop her/him spreading fake informations, the way she/he reverting another users edits also seems very rude, changing so many informations not based on legitimate references, thats should be fixed as soon as possible. You can check all of his editing not only on the Pages of Provinces in Indonesia but also another subject pages like Foods, she/he changes so many informations without any references that might be HOAX. I hope you can check and fix this... -->>> (Check here!)

Rottnest Island
I would like your expert opinion on something; What LGA does Rottnest Island belong to? It seems to be the City of Cockburn, according to Wikipedia. I can't find confirmation for this on either the City of Cockburn website nor the Rottnest Island one. I'm asking because I'm wondering what area the 22 State Register of Heritage Places fall under. Inherit lists the LGA as just Rottnest. Calistemon (talk) 23:20, 4 April 2020 (UTC)
 * I have created it's own entry on the Heritage template for now as Islands. Calistemon (talk) 01:35, 5 April 2020 (UTC)
 * Given what a popular place the island is I thought we would have lots of photos of heritage buildings for List of State Register of Heritage Places on Rottnest Island but that isn't the case! One day, when we can go there again, I might try to rectify this. Calistemon (talk) 04:11, 5 April 2020 (UTC)

It appears that someone has been vandalising the Wikipedia page on me, but the edit history doesn’t show the trolling. Any idea how to identify the offender? Adrian Vickers (talk) 08:27, 22 April 2020 (UTC)

The joys of wikipedia
Thanks for noting one of the things I love - where people get excited about whether a space, a thin space or a hair space should be used, and the related riveting question of whether it should be character, code or template, to the point that its quicker & easier to run a script than it is to discuss the matter or fix the corrections.

Assessment query
Whats the process if I disagree with an assessment of B-class that you've done to the new 1915 Victorian soccer season using RATER? Just "be bold" and change? I have been looking at a lot of the Australian football (soccer) articles over the past week as part of a Destubbing Challenge, and similar quality articles would only rate Start at best. One can argue that as nearly all of the references are taken from essentially the same source whether this article is still close to only being a Stub. However, it is a ways off being B-class in my opinion. Matilda Maniac (talk) 00:07, 20 May 2020 (UTC)

Aguilarrios.michelle (talk) 13:28, 25 May 2020 (UTC)I believe a company deserves to be on Wikipedia.

Speedy deletion nomination of Category:Queensland lawyers


A tag has been placed on Category:Queensland lawyers 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 seven days or more and is not a disambiguation category, a category redirect, a featured topics category, under discussion at Categories for discussion, or a project category that by its nature may become empty on occasion.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

 * Tool of the week
 * wdumps allows you to create a limited RDF dump from Wikidata, for those times when your SPARQL queries keep timing out. It is not particularly user-friendly, and it typically takes several hours to get a complete dump, but it is the best way to for example get a list of all English names of humans in Wikidata, or a list of every scientific article with its title and DOI.


 * Other Noteworthy Stuff
 * The former WikiProject iNaturalist was renamed WikiProject Biodiversity to allow discussions beyond iNaturalist.
 * Special:FewestRevisions to be disabled, if you are currently using it, please leave a comment
 * Winners of the Wikidata competition during Museum Day 2020: VIGNERON, Alexmar983, Braveheart, Pasleim, Benoît Prieur, Uli.ch, Nono314, Sukkoria and Airon90. Congratulations!
 * As part of a thesis project, the search engine "Lister" has been developed to make it easier for the general public to access data on the Semantic Web in general, and WikiData specifically. It's in a usability test-phase right now, and if you'd like to try it out and help improve it, you can do so at this link. The test should at most 15 minutes.
 * Follow the discussion about restricting editing of properties to autoconfirmed users.
 * New domain  to be adopted by our Toolforge community. New domain/scheme for Toolforge-hosted webservices will change from   to     with the aim to introduce permanent redirects for the legacy URLs on 2020-06-15.
 * Wikidata development team is currently running a survey until June 9th to understand better how people access and reuse Wikidata’s data from the code of their applications and tools (for example through APIs), and how we can improve the tools to make your workflows easier. If you would like to participate, please use this link (Google Forms, estimated fill-in time 5min).

Invite to Revive WikiProject:Shopping Centers!
Hey there, JarrahTree! I'm Windyshadow32, a new member of the sadly inactive Wikiproject Shopping Centers. I saw your comment on the talk page and it inspired me to revive the project. I am trying to revive the project to highlight the unique stories of malls across the country and the world especially as we lose more and more of them. Undoubtedly, we will lose shopping malls due to the challenges we face at this moment. I would like to know if you would like to help revive the project with me! I could really use some help assessing the quality of each article and how important they are! I can't take on this massive project without you. Please let me know if you'd be willing to help; I really appreciate it!

Thank you for your article assessment on Australian Antarctic Medal
Hi JarrahTree, thank you for taking the time to independently review Australian Antarctic Medal and to upgrade its quality rating to B-class. It is still very much a work in progress, but I intend to bring it up to GA status by the time I finish this project.  Kangaresearch  11:47, 16 June 2020 (UTC)

New Page Reviewer newsletter June 2020
Hello ,

NPP Sorting can be a great way to find pages needing new page patrolling that match your strengths and interests. Using ORES, it divides articles into topics such as Literature or Chemistry and on Geography. Take a look and see if you can find time to patrol a couple pages a day. With over 10,000 pages in the queue, the highest it's been since ACPERM, your help could really make a difference. In late February, Google added 5 new languages to Google Translate: Kinyarwanda, Odia (Oriya), Tatar, Turkmen and Uyghur. This expands our ability to find and evaluate sources in those languages.
 * Your help can make a difference
 * Google Adds New Languages to Google Translate
 * Discussions and Resources
 * A discussion on handling new article creation by paid editors is ongoing at the Village Pump.
 * Also at the Village Pump is a discussion about limiting participation at Articles for Deletion discussion.
 * A proposed new speedy deletion criteria for certain kinds of redirects ended with no consensus.
 * Also ending with no change was a proposal to change how we handle certain kinds of vector images.

What do you make of...
...this Sounds like some old mythology. Not encyclopedic? @User:Davidelit --Merbabu (talk) 10:30, 18 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Actually, the addition included a link to another article. It's mythology. I might remove it. --Merbabu (talk) 11:27, 18 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Sure, mythology can be important to people's sense of history. Maybe it should be included somehow. But cleary presented as mythology. --Merbabu (talk) 11:51, 18 June 2020 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Category:Shire of Narambeen


A tag has been placed on Category:Shire of Narambeen 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 seven days or more and is not a disambiguation category, a category redirect, a featured topics category, under discussion at Categories for discussion, or a project category that by its nature may become empty on occasion.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Files for discussion/2020 June 25
Hi JarrahTree, as a respected editor I wondered if you had a few moments to contribute to a second RfC on the retention of an image of the Reverse of the Australian Antarctic Medal. It's been re-nominated for deletion by one editor at Files for discussion/2020 June 25, following consensus on its retention previously. As the original RfC was only comprised of 4 views, I think it might help the other editor involved if there was a wider input. It's all fairly short, so takes no more than a minute or two of reading, and you are welcome to express any opinion you think is appropriate. Thanks in advance if you can spare the time.

..."transcript of speeches at the blessing and official opening of St. John of God Hospital, Subiaco, Western Australia, 1st May, 1981 ..."

Just quietly, I was the PR who published that and other stuff and (with Don Franks) planned the whole official opening (even wrote the Archbishop's speech--not bad for an atheist!) However, I'm not guilty of any soap in the article. I can't recall ever making an edit or even reading the article (but will do soon). The following year I accepted an invitation to organise the Charlie Gairdner G Block opening. That's another story! Cheers Bjenks (talk) 08:44, 20 July 2020 (UTC)

 * Development
 * The last week was our quarterly prototyping week. We worked on the following projects. None of them are ready for prime-time yet but we'll continue with them.
 * Slices: We've had a lot of requests for accessing dumps of a smaller part of Wikidata's data since rarely anyone needs the complete data in Wikidata. The tricky part is figuring out which part is needed and if any of that can be generalized. We looked into for example how to make dump generation faster so we could potentially produce more smaller dumps that only cover a part of Wikidata's data, either thematically (e.g. humans) or by type of data (e.g. only statements and English labels and aliases but not sitelinks or descriptions).
 * REST API: As part of our effort to make it easier to access Wikidata's data for programmers we looked into a REST API. We tried to see if we could cover the existing action API modules in a REST API. We could. We'll take this as input for our ongoing API work now.
 * Improving quality ratings through ORES: ORES can judge the quality of an Item automatically. It is currently not very good at it however. We tried a few things to make it more accurate and found some easy wins we'll probably make happen in the next weeks.
 * Query manipulator: One of the ways we could potentially improve the load situation of the Wikidata Query Service is by automatically analyzing and then redirecting a bunch of queries to other systems that are more suitable for that particular type of query. The nice thing about that would be that the person/program sending the query wouldn't have to care about it but it'd be done automagically for them. We tried to build such a system and the results look very promising but more work/experimenting is needed, especially together with the WMF Search team.

 * Development
 * Fixing an error that sometimes causes Wikidata UI to report 2 error messages when saving a sitelink in an Item instead of just one. (T260869)
 * Development of version one of Federated Properties has concluded! Expect an announcement with timing of the release of this feature soon. Wikibase users who want an early look at the feature are invited to reach out to participate in the pre-release testing round.
 * Development of the WikibaseManifest extension has continued into its second sprint; we focused on determining a product specification for the Manifest output.
 * Finishing a draft documentation for a REST API to get it ready for a feedback round before implementation.
 * Finished improvements to the automated scoring of the quality of Items with ORES. Still need to retrain ORES and deploy the changes before the scores are actually different though.

 * Development
 * A long-standing bug has been fixed (T217144) where Items and Lexemes created via OAuth would not be added to the user’s watchlist even if the user had the  setting enabled. (The  setting was probably likewise ineffective, but this was not tested specifically.) Affected tools include QuickStatements, Mix'n'Match, and Wikidata Lexeme Forms; users of these and other tools may see more pages being added to their watchlists now. (This only applies to new edits and page creations; previously created or edited pages will not be automatically added to the watchlist retroactively.)
 * Working on the basic building blocks of the Query Builder towards making it possible to create the first very simple query with it
 * Talking to people about comparing Wikidata's data against other databases and flagging mismatches
 * Fixing an issue with Item creations via the API by blocked users leading to skipped entity IDs (T232620)
 * Fixed an input issue with invisible characters (T261071)
 * Finishing the draft of the REST API spec to get it ready for feedback
 * WikibaseManifest: created a separate key for local entities and decided what we do about non-local entity sources based on tool-builder feedback (T263527) and specifying the API in OpenApi format (T262919)

Deletion of my comments CordiKFR
Hi JarrahTree,

you messaged me a few days ago about my edits and that they might be advertisement. They are not, as they primarily explain the music to the users. Please do not delete my edits, as they are for informational purposes.

Thank you and kind regards, CordiKFR CordiKFR (talk) 12:54, 24 November 2020 (UTC)

What to do with WP:PORTS and WP:YAR
What do you think should be done with WP:PORTS? We had the 2011 merger discussion with the Maritime Transport Taskforce, which was adopted with fairly minimal discussion but never fully enacted. Unfortunately the merger did not lead to any real gain in editor numbers, and perhaps diluted the attention anyone actually paid to ports topics. And now as far as I can tell I'm the only member of WP:PORTS not to have retired from Wikipedia. :)

I particularly don't like the project being left in its current half-merged state. I reckon it needs to either be completely merged into the Maritime Transport taskforce and that taskforce then urged to get involved in the wonders of port articles; or it needs un-merging and re-promotion as an independent collaboration.

WP:YAR also seems to have died a sad death (again). If anything this is more serious, as pirate articles more quickly fill with unsourced nonsense. The project has no obvious merger target, but there's surely enough editor interest in poach to get it up and running again on its own. Or is this not worth the effort, and should it just be left in its current inactive state?

Anyway: given your own background in maritime history, I was hoping to get your views on the above, before raising it more widely. Opinions welcome on these or any other options! -- Euryalus (talk) 09:17, 26 November 2020 (UTC)

New Page Patrol December Newsletter
Hello ,



It has been a productive year for New Page Patrol as we've roughly cut the size of the New Page Patrol queue in half this year. We have been fortunate to have a lot of great work done by who was the reviewer of the most pages and redirects this past year. Thanks and credit go to and  who join Rosguill in repeating in the top 10 from last year. Thanks to, , and who all got the NPR permission this year and joined the top 10. Also new to the top ten is DannyS712 bot III, programmed by which has helped to dramatically reduce the number of redirects that have needed human patrolling by patrolling certain types of redirects (e.g. for differences in accents) and by also patrolling editors who are on on the redirect whitelist.
 * Year in review

has been named reviewer of the year for 2020. John has held the permission for just over 6 months and in that time has helped cut into the queue by reviewing more than 18,000 articles. His talk page shows his efforts to communicate with users, upholding NPP's goal of nurturing new users and quality over quantity.
 * Reviewer of the Year

As a special recognition and thank you has been awarded the first NPP Technical Achievement Award. His work programming the bot has helped us patrol redirects tremendously - more than 60,000 redirects this past year. This has been a large contribution to New Page Patrol and definitely is worthy of recognition.

Rollback (ab)use
As a side note to Talk:Nannup, Western Australia, please note that your rollback of my edits – "reverting good-faith changes which you happen to disagree with – is likely to be considered misuse of the tool."

When there are multiple edits that you disagree with, please use individual reverts (which are then easier to refer to), each with a meaningful comment. Mitch Ames (talk) 03:53, 26 January 2021 (UTC)
 * I'm sure it was an honest mistake, but it's not the first time that you have rolled back multiple edits - including clearly valid edits - with no explanation. There was no justification (according to WP:ROLLBACK) for use of the rollback tool in this case. Mitch Ames (talk) 04:38, 26 January 2021 (UTC)
 * so you are perfect then mitch, and in all your 100,000 + edits havent done somethiung similar? smells of having to have the last word.. JarrahTree 05:09, 26 January 2021 (UTC)

Once again you have rolled back my reasonable, explained-in-edit-summary, edits without any explanation, contrary to WP:ROLLBACKUSE, in a manner that "is likely to be considered misuse of the tool". Please discuss the edits at Talk:Yarloop Workshops. Mitch Ames (talk) 13:26, 3 February 2021 (UTC)

CFDs rarely get noticed
"Category changes usually go un-noticed - as there is no connection to projects affected"

If only someone had thought to add a project banner to the category's talk page - surely that would make a difference. Mitch Ames (talk) 09:08, 31 January 2021 (UTC)
