thems the breaks...
you get an overloaded welcome - what is far more important is if you are going to continue to update reid library article: -
 * WP:V requires WP:RS otherwise your additions are unfortunatle WP:OR and if you are doing the editing from inside the library or university - you have WP:COI as an item to consider... JarrahTree 04:35, 15 January 2020 (UTC)

Hi! Thank you! I appreciate the input. The article contained a fair bit of original research prior to me editing it and I've actually tried to reduce that, and to provide sources for some of the info already in the article. However I did leave in some of the OR - perhaps I wasn't ruthless enough. Thank you especially for flagging the COI page. I'll declare my COI on the UWA Library page and bear this in mind in future.

 * The big problem with academic library articles is they read like website cv's - we do this we do that - and literally have no context from either history or even anything like a cite from trove... it would be very very interesting if it was possible to have a meetup with wikipedians some time - there are some here in perth who would find it interesting... also derivative articles related to former staff of notability, and lots of aspects of earlier branch libraries... needless to say my personal connections with reid are almost 40 years now :(   JarrahTree 03:19, 16 January 2020 (UTC)


 * Yes, that tone in the article bothers me. Is Template:Tone the right template to apply here to flag this? I'm going to stop making edits and instead propose changes as suggested by the COI policy. I'm sure some librarians would be interested in a wikipedians meet up! Lavinia.james (talk) 03:54, 16 January 2020 (UTC)
