Truss et al - Shire of Noosa
Hi Kerry. Thanks for digging that one up. I thought that must've been what they were all doing, but didn't have the time to find and cite something to fix the fragment (and didn't want to make it more wrong if they'd actually done something different).

Excuse me?
What was this about? DuncanHill (talk) 00:03, 18 December 2017 (UTC)
 * Sorry, it was not your edit but the one before that I was undoing, but because your edit conflicted with that edit, I had to undo them both, and then I restored your edit (England to Great Britain) as that wasn't the problem. So nothing to do with your edit, just how the tool reported it. Kerry (talk) 00:05, 18 December 2017 (UTC)
 * But you didn't and haven't undone the edit before. DuncanHill (talk) 00:07, 18 December 2017 (UTC)
 * Oops, I really must have clicked the wrong button. I will fix it. Your edit will survive at the end of it all. Kerry (talk) 00:12, 18 December 2017 (UTC)
 * Done (I hope), sorry about the confusion. Kerry (talk) 00:16, 18 December 2017 (UTC)

AfC
I think you declined over the top of my decline at Queenscliffe Historical Museum? Not sure what happened there! The Drover&#39;s Wife (talk) 07:51, 19 December 2017 (UTC)
 * I think there is some way to flag that you are in the process of reviewing the article to warn off others. Having said that, I am not sure how to do it. I will investigate (and at least we agreed on the result, but, yes, it is a waste of time for both of us to review it). Kerry (talk) 08:08, 19 December 2017 (UTC)

When you open the review tool, you see Accept, Decline and Comment as the 3 options but over to the right are two little << arrows. Click on that, and you get to mark it as under review, and I am guessing the other one clears that (if you abandon review, as I assume Accept/Decline/Comment should clear it automatically). See Draft:Queenscliffe Historical Museum now and you should see I have it "claimed". Kerry (talk) 08:15, 19 December 2017 (UTC)
 * Let me know when you have seen it and I will release it. Kerry (talk) 08:16, 19 December 2017 (UTC)
 * I completed and saved it 17 minutes before you did though? Very odd. The Drover&#39;s Wife (talk) 08:35, 19 December 2017 (UTC)
 * I suspect that edit conflicts don't work in the same way with the gadget. Probably I opened the tool before you, then you opened the tool, you declined and exited, then I decline and exited. Normally in that sequence, I would get an edit conflict message as you saved after I opened, but I suspect that the gadget is not opening the article for edit when you open the tool. That's my "educated" guess on what's happening. Clearly marking is the smart move to avoid the situation. I was amused though that we were both drawn to the same article, not surprising given our editing interests. Kerry (talk) 08:48, 19 December 2017 (UTC)

Articles for Creation
I'm hopeless with Petscan, and I've just realised that the table from WikiProject Australia/ArticlesforReview seems to be set to only pick up on those that have been sitting there for a month - now that we've cleared the backlog, any chance you could alter it so we can tackle newer entries? The Drover&#39;s Wife (talk) 06:21, 26 December 2017 (UTC)


 * (or else I'm just really confused. Can't quite figure out why Draft:Brian Bury and Draft:The Decline (punk band) only just showed up on there despite being created on 26 November.) The Drover&#39;s Wife (talk) 06:23, 26 December 2017 (UTC)
 * The query searches for articles in Category:Pending AfC submissions whose talk page includes the template WikiProject Australia. So two things have to happen before they appear in our list, the creator (or someone else) clicks on the Submit button (so it's available for review) AND someone has put the template WikiProject Australia onto the Talk page. Looking at the history of Talk:Brian Bury, the draft was only tagged as WikiProject Australia today (by Worldbruce). So the backlog was in the tagging, not in the reviewing. Kerry (talk) 06:42, 26 December 2017 (UTC)

Redlinks for notable Queenslanders
Hi Kerry,

You will have noted that I have red linked Sir Charles Barton in Bruce Highway. He is deserving of an article and all his info is in the ADB, but I am not about to start it so feel free to put it on your list or suggest it to some willing compatriot.

On a related note, Sir Joseph McAvoy (apparently actually Francis Joseph McAvoy) may be sufficiently notable - he was knighted for services to the sugar industry. As I have been unable to find much more about him I have resisted the urge to redlink him.

Cheers, John Downsize43 (talk) 10:53, 29 December 2017 (UTC)
 * Don't be shy about creating redlinks. The WP:REDLINK policy tells us "In general, a red link should be allowed to remain in an article if it links to a term that could plausibly sustain an article". So you don't have to guarantee notability to create a redlink, just that it is plausibly notable. I think being knighted constitutes "plausible". And red links tend to trigger article creation (that's been established in a research project, it's an example of stigmergic behaviour in Wikipedia). Kerry (talk) 00:08, 30 December 2017 (UTC)
 * Thank you for giving me a new word. It seems that "Stigmergy" could also be applied to the process whereby most people who come up with good ideas in an organisation almost never get the credit due when there is a successful group outcome. Cheers, John Downsize43 (talk) 07:21, 30 December 2017 (UTC)

Ros Bates
I removed this statement "Bates was awarded the Prime Minister's Centenary of Federation Medal (2001)"which had this source. which said nothing about Ros Bates receiving that award. if you have a source for it that actually justifies the inclusion and which states Ros Bates was awarded ....." go for it.Brownlife (talk) 00:14, 7 January 2018 (UTC)


 * Like many websites these days, the individual webpages returned from search results may or may not be persistent, so often the only option is to cite the search page. That particular website itself is quite reliable as to content. However, that website was revamped late last year which broke many of the links that people were using for citations. This has been discussed at the Australian Wikipedians' notice board. Try search there for Rosslyn Bates yourself as I did and you will find the information is there at, whether or not that URL is persistent and hence usable as a URL is unclear, so it may be preferable to cite the search page as was done in this instance. If you are doubtful about whether an Australian source is reliable or the best way to cite it, then the Australian noticeboard is the best place to discuss it. In Wikipedia, we assume good faith in relation to contributed content, so you should have made the effort to do a search before deleting it saying there was "no source". Also be aware of our policy WP:NOBITE in relation to new contributors. Whereas you have made accusations about this new contributor and deleted their content either without explanation and/or threats to report them. This is not the way we should treat new contributors. As I have already said on your talk page (but you seem to have deleted it), you can report the contributor at WP:COIN if you have a legitimate concern. Kerry (talk) 00:31, 7 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Hmmm. I find you saying this source http://www.itsanhonour.gov.au/honours/honour_roll/ should be used as a reliable source in our biographies. I totally disagree. Readers shouldn't need to go to that source and then somehow navigate themselves to this page http://www.itsanhonour.gov.au/honours/honour_roll/search.cfm?show=simple and then if they manage to reach that page then to manually type into the search facility on that page a name and then wait to go to another webpage search http://www.itsanhonour.gov.au/honours/honour_roll/search.cfm?breif=true&page=1&search_type=simple and even then not find a reliable source which says ros bates won such a such an award!. Are you serious? If they go to that source they will click out of it as I did. Obviously. I'm pretty sure you could find a source that actually says what you personally want it to say. I have no objection to including it if you can That is not good enough kerry! I also will report this editor when i get a chance.Brownlife (talk) 01:19, 7 January 2018 (UTC)
 * I suggest you acquaint yourself with WP:RS and WP:SOURCEACCESS. The latter clearly states "Do not reject reliable sources just because they are difficult or costly to access." Kerry (talk) 00:35, 8 January 2018 (UTC)
 * I gave up trying to work through the 5 different URL addresses. Glad you found it now. However i don't need your sarcastic comment left on the edit "added the citation that was too hard to find apparently" I remind you that sarcasm can be interpreted as a lack of civility. I suggest you familiarise yourself with our civility policy Civility. And thank you but I am already familar with WP:RS and WP:SOURCEACCESS. Anyway I do not wish to continue this discussion especially after your hostile and saracastic edit summary you left for me.Brownlife (talk) 04:50, 8 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Also i must remind you of your most recent edit warring warning, so please don't try and scold me I will not take your abuse thank you. You are just an editor and we are both on the same level. I also request you stop hounding me and following me around. I personally view this as harassment. No need to reply. As I said after your sarcastic hostile edit summary I want no more abuse from you Kerry.Brownlife (talk) 04:55, 8 January 2018 (UTC)

Mount Ommaney name origin
Hi Kerry I've started volunteering at Wolston House as a guide and I've done a lot of research on the location. Whilst the newspaper reference you quote links the name Mt Ommaney to Stephen Simpson's nephew, the name occurs much earlier in 1846 so the origin is a bit of a mystery. John Ommaney died at Wolston ten years later in 1856. http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article3712674 regards Paul  — Preceding unsigned comment added by PaulGranny (talk • contribs) 02:05, 14 January 2018 (UTC)
 * While the sources all seem to say that it is named after the nephew, none actually say though that it was named after him following his death in 1856, so it may well be true that it was named by Simpson before 1846 after his nephew (or that family more generally). Whatever, the information on the origin of the name must lie in the New South Wales records given these dates are all before the Separation of Queensland. I looked in the New South Wales Government Gazette but all I found was and there was nothing there about the mountain. We may never know ... Kerry (talk) 07:09, 14 January 2018 (UTC)

04:09:07, 18 January 2018 review of submission by Thedesignerguy
Thedesignerguy (talk) 04:09, 18 January 2018 (UTC)

Im trying to create the wiki page for Harmony Park because there is a page that exists elsewhere and is in a foreign language.

https://sv.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harmony_Park_%28park_i_Australien%2C_New_South_Wales%29

This incorrect page has been refernced to auto create a facebook page for Harmony Park and its factually incorrect and creating confusion for people who are checking in and tagging Harmony Park on Facebook, which is not great consdering this is a popular local destination, and definately requires its own page with the correct info. I was hoping by creating a new page with the correct info this might help resolve the issue. A breif history of Surry Hills is historically imporant to the a Harmony Park page as the park came from a large area of Surry Hills being demolished and neglected. Ive been doing my best to get the page to a satisfactory point but this is wiki thing is totally out of my league so some help would be great.

Also, someone commented that the page I created was too breif? The wiki article I reference above is also very breif, and its incorrect, in a foreign language yet its approved and available on wikipedia causing lots of issues.

Thanks for your help.

Thedesignerguy (talk) 04:09, 18 January 2018 (UTC)


 * First, I need to explain that English Wikipedia and Swedish Wikipedia are separate projects and operate with different rules. The population of Sweden is about 10 million so, even allowing for immigration, the number of Swedish-speaking people who can contribute to Swedish Wikipedia is very low in comparison to the number of English-speaking people who can contribute to English Wikipedia, so the two Wikipedias are in very different situations. It seems that Swedish Wikipedia was willing to have a huge number of articles that were machine-written based on geonames.org (their article on Harmony Park being among them); in my opinion these Swedish articles are dreadful. I don't know if you have translated the Swedish article on Harmony Park but it tells us the distance from Canberra, that the ocean is to the NE, and there are "unusually many named peninsulas, bays and beaches" nearby. It seems Harmony Park even has its own climate data to be reported (really?!). There are thousands of these almost identical articles on Swedish Wikipedia about Australian places, all as useess as the one on Harmony Park. On English Wikipedia we have very different views on what is acceptable as an article, so the comparison with Swedish Wikipedia (and whatever Facebook chooses to do with the Swedish article) isn't a criteria for accepting an article on English Wikipedia. Indeed we have a policy called WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS which basically says we apply the rules as they exist today and are not to be influenced by past decisions.

The issue with your draft article is not a question of its length. The main criteria here is "is it notable?" which asks if independent sources talk about it as a primary topic or are there only passing mentions or run-of-mill mentions (e.g. list in a directory of parks in Sydney). A draft article can pass notability with a couple of sentences and a couple of citations (if they are the right sentences and citations). When I look at your draft and its citations, what I see is a history of Surrey Hills. I see very little about the actual park itself (apart from stormwater collection from the substation). So I am not saying to you "remove the history of Surrey Hills" but rather I am saying to you, put this information into the Surrey Hills article, as you don't seem to have anything much to say about the park itself as it is today. You say above it's a popular local destination and in your draft you say something similar, but many parks in Sydney and the rest of the world are popular with local residents and dog owners. You mention a purple jacaranda tree; lots of parks have jacarandas and they are normally purple in my experience, so what is the special significance of this one? Is there an annual jacaranda festival held there? It's hard for me to see from what you are presenting that makes this park notable.

I honestly don't think writing more about the park is likely to improve its chances for passing notability. I really do think the best course of action is to incorporate the information in the draft into the Surry Hills article. What we can do is to create "Harmony Park" as a redirection to the Surry Hills article, which ensures that if anyone comes to Wikipedia and searches for Harmony Park will be taken to the Surry Hills article. I am happy to create the redirect for you if you take that route (I realise it's not something you probably know how to do).

But, I am just one reviewer and, while I have given you my best advice, others may see the situation differently. You are free to work more on the draft and resubmit it if that's what you want to do. Kerry (talk) 05:25, 18 January 2018 (UTC)

Ivy May Pearce - reference query
Hi Kerry, I'm puzzled by the mixed reference styles and how they are displayed in Ivy May Pearce. I've not come across this particular approach before and the new references I've just added are appearing under 'Aerobatics'. Do you have any suggestions? Many thanks! Coastal.culture.vulture (talk) 10:11, 18 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Citing sources says that inline sources are required for verification. However, although the numbered citation style[1] is preferred to the (Bloggs 1972) style, it's not absolutely prohibited to use the (Blogs 1972) style. In theory once a style is established in an article, you are supposed to stick with that style as per WP:CITEVAR but you can ask on Talk if you want to switch to another style and can do so if you appear to have consensus (which may be interpreted as lack of objection if nobody responds). However, although there are five sources listed in the References section, only two of them are used in-line in the article (Dwyer & McKenzie), the other three are never used in-line (which is contrary to verification policy). So you have two courses of action, switch to using the "established" style OR ask on Talk to switch to numbered citations.


 * As to the reason that your numbered citations appear after Aerobatics, that is nothing to do with policy but purely mechnical. If the article is written in the (Bloggs 1972) style, it has no need to include either block can automatically display long lists of references in columns on wide screens.  This makes footnotes easier to read.  This has already been enabled at the English Wikipedia.  If you want columns for a long list of footnotes on this wiki, you can use either   or the plain (no parameters)   template.  If you edit a different wiki, you can request multi-column support for your wiki.
