Mundaring
Where possible - please get a handle on WP:RS to back up assertions for your edits


 * WP:MOS - does not allow ext links in the text of articles - they should show as references


 * It is always good to have a look at adjacent articles like swan and kalamunda, for either how its been done there, or in some cases what not to do. JarrahTree 15:32, 20 October 2021 (UTC)

Apologies. First foray into wiki. Will read the links and info sent. Tarrdarc (talk) 15:34, 20 October 2021 (UTC)

Never apologise - it can at times be quite offputting - the fact that you can leave a message and signature within the first ten edits is in itself positive. Many of the Mundaring shire articles can do with improvement of refs and content - as could kalamunda articles as well, generally a hills thing perhaps, very patchy.

Indeed. Not too many interested in the upkeep of history sadly. Tarrdarc (talk) 15:40, 20 October 2021 (UTC)

The wikipedia article maintenance issue is where people have edited many years ago with details that were either never corroborated with WP:RS or not enough - the capacity of the Trove aggregator to help there should never be underestimated - for instance - https://trove.nla.gov.au/search?keyword=mundaring%20shire - always worth a look.
