Just checking
Hi there. It's great you want to contribute to Wikipedia. However, I'm noticing that your contributions include links to different entries on https://www.aboriginal-bark-paintings.com. It appears that this is a commercial site selling art, and it is not clear why Wikipedia should treat it as a reliable source. There may also be a separate issue, if you are Richard Aldridge (or a person close to him), in which case you might want to check out policy on conflicts of interest, and consider suggesting edits on talk pages instead of putting them in the encyclopedia. I also came across at least one example where the link has been added as an external link in the body text, in violation of WP policy. Perhaps the best thing you could do would be to replace as far as possible the bark paintings website citations with secondary sources from the literature that won't run into any issues with the reliable sources policy.

Don't get me wrong - some of your changes, in terms of content, are valuable. But the sourcing is a potentially major issue, that I wanted to flag for you. Have a look at the links I mentioned, and message me if you want clarification. hamiltonstone (talk) 11:25, 27 November 2018 (UTC)

Hello, I'm Gadfium. I wanted to let you know that one or more external links you added to Kotiate have been removed because they seemed to be inappropriate for an encyclopedia. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page, or take a look at our guidelines about links. Thank you. - gadfium 02:42, 6 December 2018 (UTC)

Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did to Tribal art. Wikipedia is not a collection of links, nor should it be used for advertising or promotion. Inappropriate links include, but are not limited to, links to personal websites, links to websites with which you are affiliated (whether as a link in article text, or a citation in an article), and links that attract visitors to a website or promote a product. See the external links guideline and spam guideline for further explanations. Because Wikipedia uses the nofollow attribute value, its external links are disregarded by most search engines. If you feel the link should be added to the page, please discuss it on the associated talk page rather than re-adding it. Thank you.- gadfium 07:15, 10 December 2018 (UTC)

Nomination of Gope (Papua) for deletion
A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Gope (Papua) is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

Kimberley (Western Australia)
You've split aboriginal art of the Kimberley into two sections in your recent edit. There is a paragraph in the Economy section. regards John beta (talk) 02:54, 3 April 2020 (UTC)
