User talk:TasmanianCrime

Welcome!
Hello, TasmanianCrime, and welcome to Wikipedia!&#32;Thank you for your contributions.

I noticed that one of the first articles you edited appears to be dealing with a topic with which you may have a conflict of interest. In other words, you may find it difficult to write about that topic in a neutral and objective way, because you are, work for, or represent, the subject of that article.&#32;Your recent contributions may have already been undone for this very reason.

To reduce the chances of your contributions being undone, you might like to draft your revised article before submission, and then ask me or another editor to proofread it. See our help page on userspace drafts for more details. If the page you created has already been deleted from Wikipedia, but you want to save the content from it to use for that draft, don't hesitate to ask anyone from this list and they will copy it to your user page.

One rule we do have in connection with conflicts of interest is that accounts used by more than one person will unfortunately be blocked from editing. Wikipedia generally does not allow editors to have usernames which imply that the account belongs to a company or corporation. If you have a username like this, you should request a change of username or create a new account. (A name that identifies the user as an individual within a given organization may be OK.)

In addition, if you receive, or expect to receive, compensation for any contribution you make, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation to comply with our terms of use and our policy on paid editing.

 * There may be no grounds whatsoever as to your having conflict of interest, but user names such as yours suggest by implication that you may be one of the subjects of the articles created - just a heads up if that is the case, it is worth knowing about this particular area as understood within the confines of wikipedian policy. Even if you are say for instance a utas staff member who has interest in the subject, (the community being what it is, I have guessed a few people who might line up who you might be), it is well worth considering changing the user name in time, no rush a change of name, simply on the basis that the username suggests some level of involvement in law or crime that might need to be avoided, if you so choose, its in the end your choice...

Hello JarrahTree, thank you for your welcome. I don’t have an enormously good understanding of the technical aspects of categorising entries, but I am learning as I go and I am doing my best to produce good content about a fairly niche area. I note your reference to the university of Tasmania, and it is correct that I was a student there. But I do not have a conflict in respect of any of the articles/edits I have produced, nor any that I intend to produce on the subject of Tasmanian crimes and trials. I would hope that the objective character of my articles is plain. I have not shied away from including objectively accurate material that the living subjects of my articles would presumably prefer not to be included. I have refamiliarised myself with articles to which you have referred me and I am satisfied with my suitability to proceed with producing content and maintaining the articles that I gave generated so far.

Hey, it is really appreciated that you have replied and show a sympathy and understanding the whole process of clarifying all that - and the way you have replied is really good, Tasmania is the least edited and worked upon project amongst the Australian projects, and the visibility of an active editor is always encouraging, and in the legal/crime area, the whole australian project is always short in that area, so thanks for your editing...  Please understand that WP:BLP requires stringency regarding WP:RS. JarrahTree 08:46, 1 March 2020 (UTC)

Just a quick Captain Cook's (or Tasmanian versions no doubt abound...) of individual mainland lawyer articles and many are atrocious - I would say you are setting a standard in your editing that leaves them looking very short of a brief... in any sense of the word... so thanks, and hope you are able to help further to improve things over time... JarrahTree 09:06, 1 March 2020 (UTC)

Again, thank you. I intend edit some of those articles concerning interstate lawyers, particularly some of the luminaries of the Vic and NSW bars. TasmanianCrime (talk) 09:14, 1 March 2020 (UTC)

ahem, that reminds me of Hobart pubs, or more specifically Queenstown pubs of the past... if you are ever in need of wikipedia advice feel free to ask (sad. I send this from the mainland, oh for Hobart and all...)  on or off wiki... JarrahTree 09:20, 1 March 2020 (UTC)

Ways to improve Murder of Bob Chappell
Hello, TasmanianCrime,

Thank you for creating Murder of Bob Chappell.

I have tagged the page as having some issues to fix, as a part of our page curation process and note that:

"Thank you for your new article on the Murder of Bob Chappell, though I recommend cutting down on esoteric details that may not be of interest to unfamiliar readers, and consolidating some sections and sub-sections to achieve a less cumbersome table of contents."

The tags can be removed by you or another editor once the issues they mention are addressed. If you have questions, leave a comment here and prepend it with. And, don't forget to sign your reply with. For broader editing help, please visit the Teahouse.

Delivered via the Page Curation tool, on behalf of the reviewer.

BLP
A handle upon WP:BLP is well worth getting a handle... and also what that requires on tagging on the talk page... JarrahTree 06:46, 1 March 2020 (UTC)

In the various guidances in relation to editing, you seem to have had very poor introduction to categories and talk page tagging, whereas the detail and thoroughness in the text is fine ( to fix up items might include more detail at the very thin Sydney_Sparkes_Orr for instance )JarrahTree 06:55, 1 March 2020 (UTC)

please
take note of the edits that are made after yours - as a way of being able to improve things from where you edit, catch up might take time, but it could help over time... ! JarrahTree 11:22, 12 March 2020 (UTC)

Thank you. I’m closely watching. TasmanianCrime (talk) 12:22, 12 March 2020 (UTC)

very strange times
dont be surpirsed if we wake up tommorow morning and find the daleks/vogons have won... JarrahTree 03:41, 15 March 2020 (UTC)

I have never seen anything like it! I thought Australians were a laid back people. TasmanianCrime (talk) 04:45, 15 March 2020 (UTC)

my sojourns in west hobart, queenstown and lower sandy bay say yes to that... its the mad mainlanders who watch too much tv... JarrahTree 05:35, 15 March 2020 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Garth Stevens


The article Garth Stevens has been proposed for deletion&#32;because of the following concern: "Fails WP:BIO and WP:SIGCOV. No real secondary sources apart from the first when he graduated but doesn't prove notability."

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.  scope_creep Talk  15:39, 8 March 2022 (UTC)
