as they standalone are WP:OR, most of your edits would benefit from WP:RS to clarify for WP:V - cheers JarrahTree 23:15, 10 November 2018 (UTC)

I have provided the sources for all my new material. If you find something that is not sourced, please identify it. Roxwing (talk) 23:39, 10 November 2018 (UTC)

Fair enough - just a general comment, no offence intended JarrahTree 00:10, 11 November 2018 (UTC)

Absolutely none taken. I'm very grateful for your scrutiny. Keeps the standard high! Roxwing (talk) 01:08, 11 November 2018 (UTC)

Wow - that is impressive - a positive attitude! the problem with the french/dutch/english early ventures into the region are inadequately covered - the australian maritime history project scope hasnt been adequately checked to make sure it (the material) is properly linked to potential areas. JarrahTree 01:24, 11 November 2018 (UTC)

Thank you for noting my addition to Tasmania


 * Please remember to WP:SIGN - otherwise things get lost so easily. JarrahTree 22:59, 11 November 2018 (UTC)

Shall do! Roxwing (talk) 23:02, 11 November 2018 (UTC)


 * It's not fatal on your talk page - but when on article or other editors talk pages it is JarrahTree 23:06, 11 November 2018 (UTC)


 * Then the next small item, if it is going to be editing or referring to the same text repeatedly (Cameron Ash Lying...) - you have to make sure that you are not in the range of the ambit of WP:SPA or WP:SPAM - regardless of the enthusiasm, there can be always the suspicions on some readers parts that you are the author - or related in some way to the text. One way around that is to make sure that your editing can in fact diverge from that text. I am not saying you are, but take care!!! JarrahTree 00:11, 12 November 2018 (UTC)


 * Thank you. If I find another text that says the same thing, I try to use it, and shall keep doing so.Roxwing (talk) 00:53, 12 November 2018 (UTC)


 * The issues that arise from such a situation are that: - some editors are in fact authors who try very hard to stay under the radar, and some editors are not the authors but really like the arguments found in a particular text, and will over-use. Also from what you have edited to date you might like to see what WP:AMH is all about JarrahTree 01:04, 12 November 2018 (UTC)


 * And if you are going to keep playing with it - a better format would be: - at least that is how the NLA/Trove citation with the wiki format works out (see https://trove.nla.gov.au/work/230163978?q=cameron+ash&c=book&versionId=25339789 and then cite this then the bottom item wikipedia citation.

I've noticed that you're adding essentially identical text referenced to the above book to multiple articles, including where it is not relevant or too much detail for the level the article is written at. If you have a connection with this book or its author, please take the time to read WP:COI. Nick-D (talk) 08:14, 10 December 2018 (UTC)

Thank you Nick. It is not my intention to add excess detail and I shall try to avoid this. However, where someone has created an article (I have not created the article) and provided an error, then surley that error should be replaced with a correction. Roxwing (talk) 10:03, 10 December 2018 (UTC)
