Citing Trove digitised newspapers
If you want to cite a digitised newspaper entry in Trove, there is a much easier way than what you are doing. When you are looking at the newspaper article in Trove, look over to the left-hand tool bar for the icon "i"-in-a-circle. Click that and scroll down to the bottom where you will find a Wikipedia citation ready to copy and paste into the Wikipedia article. When copying, make sure you include the starting. If you are using the Visual Editor (which I recommend), use Cite > Manual > Basic and paste the citation into the text box, then click on Insert. If you are not using the Visual editor, put the pasted citation between tags. Just quicker, easier and more correct. Kerry (talk) 04:59, 21 October 2018 (UTC)

John Petrie
The article John Petrie is supposed to be about John Petrie. Recently you have added a lot of content about his daughter Margaret Jane and her husband, which isn't really relevant to the John Petrie story. If Margaret Jane or her husband are WP:NOTABLE, then you could write a separate article about them. I have relocated the material you wrote about Margaret Jane and her husband to User:Worcester.Monk/Sandbox so it is not lost. Wikipedia isn't the place for genealogy content, unless the person involved is notable. It is OK to mention their immediate relations (parents, spouses, children) but generally not beyond that unless they are notable in their own right. For example, the Charles Kingsford Smith mentions his grandfather Richard Ash Kingsford. Kerry (talk) 02:12, 15 October 2019 (UTC)
