[edit]what happened there - whatever it was - good on ya JarrahTree 10:49, 25 July 2019 (UTC) Appreciate your filling up the assessments of pages - thanks! JarrahTree 12:45, 28 July 2019 (UTC)
- thank you so much for your hard work in the area you have been editing - amazing improvement to the horrifically large numbers and under-touched array of importance and 'completion' of talk page assesssment. Amazing work. Thanks. JarrahTree 13:53, 21 August 2019 (UTC)
- @JarrahTree:, I noticed that a number of categories concerning "Unknown-importance Australia articles" are sub-categories of "Category:Unknown-importance articles" which is in "Super Massive" category class as it currently contains 1,924 sub-categories. Should not there be only one Australian category (i.e. "Category:Unknown-importance Australia articles") which is a sub-category of this? Cowdy001 (talk) 22:33, 24 August 2019 (UTC)
- I agree with what you are saying, I am not sure why there should be something like that, will need to have a think as to why and how that has happened. JarrahTree 09:39, 25 August 2019 (UTC)
- more looking and thinking, I dont think it matters, the actual set up is ok as far as I can understand so far. JarrahTree 02:09, 27 August 2019 (UTC)
Question
[edit]Hi Cowdy - thanks for doing the assessments of some of the pages I've been working on... Just wondering about this one, having just spent hours trying to sort out some of the basics (some bits got complicated, names and dates, etc.) and get it all updated. I can't spend any more time on it now, but not sure whether it should be classed as a list article, or could othewise be upgraded to at least Start or C? Apart from gathering more citations for each year, there's not an awful lot more that can be said about awards! Also, I'm thinking that these awards must surely be at least mid-importance to SA and/or literature, although I'm not sure how those gradings are given. Anyway have a look and see what you think, when you have time please. Laterthanyouthink (talk) 11:37, 29 July 2019 (UTC)
- A quick look at similar Australian articles suggests that the article should not be treated as a list. I have upgraded it to 'Start' and think it might be 'C" after some further editing.
- Importance - guidance on the page entitled Wikipedia:WikiProject Australia/Assessment advise that 'importance' refers to "probability of the average reader of Wikipedia needing to look up the topic". Therefore, I think 'Low' is appropriate for both Australia and South Australia, and that 'Mid' is appropriate for (Australian) Literature. I have made the latter change.
- Regards Cowdy001 (talk) 23:38, 29 July 2019 (UTC)
- Ah, thanks for that. Sounds good to me. I have also just learnt quite a lot more I didn't know by looking at that Assessment page - such as that Redirects and other types of pages actually have categories and talk pages with projects on them. I didn't realise that, and have created quite a lot of redirects. So should I be adding the Australia project to them if they're Australian (presumably types mirroring the pages they're redirecting to) and give them categories as well? Laterthanyouthink (talk) 02:53, 30 July 2019 (UTC)
- Generally, I would only add categories to a redirect where the redirect is a potential candidate for a new article. In such a case, I would add the categories and a "R with possibilities" template. The following redirect is an example of this - Cleland Wildlife Park. Also, Wikipedia:Redirect is the relevant official article.Cowdy001 (talk) 11:13, 31 July 2019 (UTC)
- Thanks again. Useful to know. (And I may even have a look at that Cleland article one day!) Cheers. Laterthanyouthink (talk) 02:43, 1 August 2019 (UTC)

Oodnadatta
[edit]Hi Cowdy001, I have reverted your edit to Oodnadatta (disambiguation) - WP:DABMOS states that piping should not be used to hide the terms used to disambiguate an entry title, such as [[Moment (physics)|Moment]] vs [[Moment (physics)]], but piping is used "when the link is part of the description, rather than the actual entry name" (MOS:DABPIPING and MOS:DABMENTION). Leschnei (talk) 17:41, 10 August 2019 (UTC)
The His
[edit]Looking at this edit and similiar, it should be noted that British or Commonwealth warships prefixed with HMS or HMAS etc. do not require an article. It is "HMS Investigator" or "the Investigator" but never "the HMS Investigator". Of course, one may write "the USS Enterprise" and be perfectly correct, but in that case "the United States" makes perfect sense. "The His" is rarely found in English. --Pete (talk) 17:52, 11 August 2019 (UTC)
- Hi @Skyring:, thanks for the advice; however did you noticed that I created the article over five years ago. Regards Cowdy001 (talk) 11:26, 29 August 2019 (UTC)
{{WikiProject Biography}} importance tagging
[edit]Hi Cowdy001,
Thanks for updating the importance tagging for {{WikiProject Australia}} biographies. You should be aware that {{WikiProject Biography}} does not use the |importance= parameter - instead, each work group has their own priority tagging (e.g. |politician-priority= or |sports-priority=)\. The articles are getting placed into Category:Biography articles needing priority parameter replacement, which has to be cleaned up manually.
Thanks, Harryboyles 00:15, 18 August 2019 (UTC)

Re the Biota - it is expected the whole set of current biota items will have a 3 pass or 3 level edit through checking
- 1st - just to get basics of assessment on so that there are no 'unknowns' aka donald rumsfeld unknown unknown - however this needs to be done from a number of dimensions, there is an unknown unknown where very clever eds dont even tag at all, or only plants say, and leave the oz and biota off..
- 2nd - to go through and work out why the hell the original eds didnt identify occurrence ( hmm) or where.. very difficult in parts
- 3rd - to check for refs and adequate states added to talk page
thats a lot of checking... :( BY that stage oz biota might seem to have a certain level of thoroughness, at this stage, very early days... JarrahTree 22:42, 28 August 2019 (UTC)
- Hi @JarrahTree: - is there anything else that I should be aware of in respect to 'Importance' assessmnent? Regards Cowdy001 (talk) 11:41, 29 August 2019 (UTC)
- OK sorry about to the diversion about biota - (bigger than a dump truck of shredded parliamentery papers...) may have nothing to do with your general editing of the moment - I have been trying to balance out a range of competing interests and issues relative to the biota work, sorry to have imposed upon you.
You must note that my style of project tagging using rater might not be something that other editors are necessarily in consensus with...
In biota, the tendency is to try to have a default of low importance, so that all articles are clear of 'unknown importance' in the near future
In other Australian sub projects, the main editor I know of who used to spend innumerable hours on all this was user:longhair, from memory he defaulted to 'low' for everything.
In the event of where rater https://wiki.riteme.site/wiki/User:Evad37/rater offers a higher class I usually raise if it is found lower than the rater estimation where https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/ORES evaluates and puts it higher than an earlier estimation. But that is class, not importance.
I hope that sort of answers, sorry for complicating things... but thanks a million for your hard work!!! JarrahTree 11:55, 29 August 2019 (UTC)
- @JarrahTree:, thanks for the above and finishing what was left in Category:Unknown-importance Adelaide articles. In the near future, I will continue with Category:Unknown-importance Northern Territory articles and then Category:Unknown-importance Australian places articles and so on...

JarrahTree 10:35, 6 September 2019 (UTC)
- @CatherineSAHistory:, Thanks for putting the image on Lobethal Archives and Historical Museum which I found via the article's recent listing on Category:South Australia articles missing geocoordinate data.
- When I looked at your user page, the red flag went up after I saw the word "History Trust of South Australia" which I know from personal experience to be a state government agency. To expand on what Jarrah Tree, you should mention the project underway with Wikimedia Australia on your talk page and possibly expand on your interests in order to distinguish them from the project with Wikimedia Australia. The Wikipedia is generally a reasonable place but one will encounter editors (including administrators) who are not.
- Anyway, you mentioned your interest in photography and I am wondering if you might be interested in helping with Category:Wikipedia requested photographs in South Australia.

my take on COI
[edit]It might be very different, as I try to take an WP:AGF attitude towards new users, and try to cajole rather than act... so that the blocked editor above made no attempt to respond to messages, and also was using a username and editing with organisational links... and the admin who followed me had no reservation about blocking for the reasons given.
I have seen and heard eds in the last 10 years take a similar attitude as mine, if it is not editing something directly related to user name or actually editing an article or section of text specifically referring to the organisation that is being inferred / referred to - then some admins and other eds allow such an item.
I went to school with one notable person in oz, and he totally lacked any comprehension as to the issues why I cannot write about myself I dont know, clearly doesnt understand what anything to do with WP:NOT, WP:ABOUT - or for that matter W:BLP and WP:OR and WP:BIO
Your question about a particular editor above suggests to me (a) she has to be very careful about what she edits (b) should be suggested that she changes her username (c) hasnt really offended under the more 'liberal' understanding of COI, but has to tread a very careful line, if she returns.... (d) some eds and admins would outright refuse a lenient approach and block and insist on re-name.
That is all from personal experience, without re-reading WP:COI - well worth a read, specially the talk pages as to how things in current practices are carried out, if the noticeboard is active - well worth having a look. Unfortunately my edit count is confronting otherwise I would suggest some of the more brazen coi cases that I have tried to deal with (most difficult where I have known people in real life who have no sense of what wikipedis is about and they try to edit their own articles), very much a case of interpretation in some parts, and other parts usually quite obvious. JarrahTree 08:46, 6 September 2019 (UTC)

Mintabie
[edit]A little surprised that you maintained an SA-importance=low at Mintabie; you're far more expert than I am, but given its mining history, unusual lease structure, crime controversies and contentious compulsory closure, that all seems to make it of more interest to readers. Klbrain (talk) 07:08, 13 September 2019 (UTC)
- Hi @Klbrain:, Guidance on the page entitled Wikipedia:WikiProject Australia/Assessment advises that 'importance' refers to "probability of the average reader of Wikipedia needing to look up the topic". I myself first looked at the article on a Saturday morning in 2018 after reading about Mintabie's imminent closure in the local Adelaide newspaper. I had never heard of Mintabie before. In respect to the four points of interest that you have nominated, there is a lot of mining in the Far North of the state (including at least two other places where opal is mined), I am not sure if the lease is unusual because I can think of several other similar arrangements, crime is not uncommon in Aboriginal areas of the state and I am not sure if the compulsory closure is contentious because the APY people own the land and have the legal right to terminate the arrangement. Anyway, the article needs an upgrade to deal with the change (please refer Mintabie transition). Regards Cowdy001 (talk) 10:44, 13 September 2019 (UTC)
- Significant news coverage does increase the likelihood of the average reader wanting to look it up. It might be WP:RECENTISM, but the August 2019 landline documentary suggests that the transition timeline is dragging out and will also attract readers; I was following the page, but noticed the documentary (seemingly) independently; I'm based in the UK. There is no doubt that the APY people own the land and have the legal right to terminate the arrangement; that doesn't mean that those who live in the town, or who might empathize with them, might wonder about the reasonableness of that decision. Regardless, I agree that updating the page, when there is news that the town has actually been closed, is more important. Klbrain (talk) 13:00, 13 September 2019 (UTC)
- Mintabie page views, in case it's of interest; spiking with news coverage in Feb and August, understandably. Klbrain (talk) 13:10, 13 September 2019 (UTC)
- Hi @Klbrain:, I have started upgrading the article; in addition to being outdated, it needs to be rewritten in parts. I found the following report online which provides more information about the situation than what was in the ABC Landline TV segment - 2017 Review of the Mintabie Lease and Mintabie Township Lease Agreement. Thanks for the Mintabie page views - I used the tool to check on articles of geographical relevance to Mintabie and found the following for the period from 1 September 2018 to 31 August 2019:

it might be my undergraduate geography training coming out strangely
[edit]but i have a real problem about lga's of any size actually constituting a 'place' regardless of definitions or scope statements anywhere - any thoughts ? city/shire - are larger than a suburb/town settlement, and actually incorporate multiple 'places'... JarrahTree 06:03, 27 September 2019 (UTC)
- @JarrahTree:, Thanks for the message. I have been having some thoughts along the same lines. I have the following comments:
- I agree with your views re LGAs.
- I think that roads, railway lines and rivers are definitely not places, particularly as they all start in one place finish end in another place while passing through a number of places on the way from start to finish.
- I think that pastoral leases, cattle/sheep stations and protected areas are best considered as a land use rather than a place. This is because there are numerous examples of pastoral leases being re-designated as protected areas, i.e. the land use changes over time. I do know of at least one protected area in SA that was abolished and was converted back to a parcel of regular crown land. Important Bird Areas (IBAs) which usually overlap protected areas either operated by government or by private individuals/organisations should not be considered to be places.
- Lighthouses, railway stations, airports and so on are best considered as buildings and/or infrastructure rather than places. I would think that this approach would also apply to ports and harbours.
- I particularly dislike the use of Outback as a place descriptor for three reasons. Firstly, it is more a philosophical concept rather a geographical concept. Secondly, it has an extremely large area and lacks boundaries making it relatively useless as a descriptor. Thirdly, I think that there are better terms to use than "Outback".
- I would suggest working through the following document and select those designations that work best as places - NSW Glossary of designation values in the Geographical Names Register
- Sometimes, I think that there are too many projects (and sub-projects). In the case of WikiProject Australia’, the better way around the above is not to add “|place=yes” on any articles, particularly if the article is of interest to other project.
- Regards Cowdy001 (talk) 13:04, 27 September 2019 (UTC)

nsw parishes
[edit]I am of the opinion that most nsw parish creations by the blocked user need to be merged/nuked or something. But it might require raising the dead (metaphorically) editors who no longer engage or edit - the issue of the validity of a large number of parish articles is very open to question imho. Most were created by the 2x blocked user/sock JarrahTree 11:36, 20 October 2019 (UTC)
- however - you ok with them ? JarrahTree 11:50, 20 October 2019 (UTC)
- @JarrahTree:, I agree with you. My comments and views follow. In SA and the NT, the cadastral systems consists of counties and hundreds (i.e. terms such as shires and parishes are foreign to me). In SA, this system was created originally as a system of regions, then as a way of selling crown land and then as the basis of the local government system, i.e. each hundred would have a principal town which would be the seat of local government.
- I think writing articles about hundreds is pointless in most cases because the articles will most likely be 'stubs' as there is very little reliable source material (i.e. proclamations in the SA Government Gazette, maps of the hundreds on the State Library of SA website and one may find suitable newspaper articles from Trove of which the majority tends to be about trivia such as picnic days and inter-hundred football matches etc) and because there is nearly 500 of them! Lots of articles means higher risk of disputes about notability and more time spent on maintenance. Also, the land occupying the full extent of a number of hundreds has in recent years (i.e. the last 20 years) been gazetted as localities with the same name and boundaries as the hundred which reflects both historical and contemporary (i.e. an example is Hardy, South Australia). Therefore, it is usually better write about the locality because it is a contemporary administrative arrangement which may have more meaning to the reader.
- I have put some effort in writing articles about counties (which there are 48 in SA) because the constituent hundreds can be listed there along with other useful and relevant about the county (i.e. an example is the County of Kimberley). Also, articles are about counties in rural parts of SA is a useful vehicle to discuss local geography which is difficult with regions (because of size and the existence of several groups of official and unofficial regions ) and local government areas (because LGAs are subject to regular change in name and extent, and because LGA articles usually do not included any discussion about the geography of the land within the LGA)
- Prior to doing something with NSW parishes, I would suggest a trial using the NT hundreds. In the case of the NT, I would suggest using the format I used on the County of Kimberley, where pertinent content about the Hundreds goes in the article about the relevant County and the existing articles about Hundreds be converted into redirects to the article about the county so that editors can use simple links when discussing a hundred in an article rather using a piped link.
- Anyway, I will continue to rate NSW Parish articles as having 'low' importance.

[edit]then there is the range of items (in biota there are quite a few unknowns) and project areas where the tags were for the subject and they left out oz project tag - I suspect there quite a few - but hopefully will have some identifying feature that will make catching relatively easy - where items about ranges of oz subjects have never had oz added as project, or state (and is identifiable from content to be about a state or subject ) covered by one of the sub projects :) JarrahTree 10:21, 7 November 2019 (UTC)
And one redeeming feature of sports/politics/ and tv is many of those are simple edits of just adding xxx-importance=low, I hope... JarrahTree 10:36, 7 November 2019 (UTC)
I am trying to understand your edit history - you are finding items that weren't tagged for biota ? JarrahTree 00:59, 26 November 2019 (UTC)
- @JarrahTree:, Yes, I am. Generally, I have decided to assess non-biographical articles first which I have done for both the ACT and Tasmania. Currently, I am going through "Category:Unknown-importance Australia articles" and looking for articles that have a Species description name or a Common name, and articles associated with ships(or shipwrecks). When I finished this search, I will pick another two subject areas and then search for these in the category. I find this approach to be easier and more efficient.

[edit]Hi, is it possible to change a page title. The Barkly Australian Football League page is titled Barkly & District Football League but has never been known as that. Wyngrn (talk) 12:18, 17 December 2019 (UTC)
