not sure

That the Brisbane template/setup has any allowance for Brisbane importance - let alone unknown or otherwise... maybe template tweaking experts might have a better idea... JarrahTree 02:00, 3 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. Thanks, I was going to ask you about that. At the moment, I decided to not assess importance for Brisbane. Regards Cowdy001 (talk) 07:23, 3 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

np, maybe the tweakers par excellence will deign to give us their precious advice or otherwise... JarrahTree 08:07, 3 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Oops delayed... I truly hope to have conversation in a week or so about both perth and brisbane importance tagging... as for lands not allocated - might try to tweak that - my memory is that we dont have anything in wa that isnt allocated... JarrahTree 08:52, 5 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

it really hurts

when I see the sheer inanity of https://wiki.riteme.site/wiki/Category:Unknown-importance_Australian_sports_articles and https://wiki.riteme.site/wiki/Category:Unknown-importance_Australian_television_articles - they are going to feel like a head-banging ecercise that should have been resolved by a bot for the minimum default 'importance=low' - as excruciating as the bends me thinks...

@JarrahTree:

Yes, I have noticed that only 25% of the articles for both TV and Sports have been assessed. I am not sure of what would be the best approach for these projects because the articles are about people, activities and things. However, I think the use of a bot would be appropriate for Category:Unknown-importance Australian Antarctic Territory articles because all of the unassessed articles are about geographical places that would rate as low importance from a WP Australia perspective. By the way, I have noticed that there is a lot of Sports articles listed in ‘Category:Unknown-importance Australia articles’. Cowdy001 (talk) 03:44, 17 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

There are the xxxx editors who have at some stage ventured in up to 8 to 10 years ago and slapped 'australia' - with nothing showing they had any knowledge of sub-projects or any local knowledge at all, leaving a vast trail of inadequately understood tag messes.

One major issue I am sure there are no longer editors in the project (ie left, inactive or indifferent) who might have had tales from the past, or understood the issues of double bangers - it can exist in a range of subjects - a sub project exists in the oz project - law, politics, sport etc - and some not very smart (probably me - so I take the trout or whale or whatever for doing so) - have a talk page Australia/law=yes, then a additional and separate Law=y as well (huh?). It gets really unnerving in rugby and some sports and motorsports - as it is had to find an established precedent that clarifies whether - Aust/motrosports=y and motorsports=y are a viable usage or really an unnecessary duplication. This is something that could be helped with a binding convention of accepted precedent accepting practices on tagging, but whether anyone else would take any notice, probably not interested, sad but true.

@JarrahTree:

n the "Category:Unknown-importance Australia articles", at the moment, there are 13,869 articles which is a drop of 5,430 from 19,299 on 24 September 2019 four months ago, i.e. an average drop of 1358 articles per month. A 'back of envelope' calculation suggest a minimum of ten months before the category is empty, assuming there is no growth in the list of unassessed articles. Also, sub-categories may experience a drop in the number of articles. This morning, I discovered a sub-subcategory which contains about 400 articles, i.e. Category:Unknown-importance History of the Paralympic movement in Australia-related articles. We need to add Wikipedia:GLAM/History of the Paralympic movement in Australia to the list of projects etc and check if there is anything that is not currently listed.

insufficient emojis available for a suitable response to that... three things, the are mega mainspace eds who are totally disinterested in following up on their creations to do the talk page fix (the 6 millionth edit looms) - there are many articles that have either not been tagged but are oz project associated - many talk page helpers have excruciatingly bad habits of not filling up to the importance=low default, then after the three there is the potential for a awb bot for the mind blowing sports that need only sports-importance=low.... apart from all that your last comment I cannot reply 'on wiki' - there is a seekers song that I always remember when I see them mentioned...

user chooses

For a few reasons, have decided to remove the ramblings, obviously read, no need for any further, apologies to cowdy for removing, but the reasons are valid, thanks for your understanding. JarrahTree 23:33, 20 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The very personal question is, are you using rater? it seems to have things that might assist, if you were interested... JarrahTree 00:53, 21 February 2020 (UTC) become[reply]

It is disappointing to find incomplete entries on talk pages that could have been dealt with by rater, a large amount of follow up could have been eliminated - any particular reason why not using? JarrahTree 01:51, 29 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

ASC

Saw your comment on Scott's talk page - even if you don't have the time to fix the article up, any chance you could add a brief explanation of its notability? The article doesn't explain why its future cash flow will be one of the highest of a company based in South Australia at all, but if it did even in a really brief way I think it'd be able to be kept.

Allendale East Town vs Locality

I was wondering, and if its okay to ask you, what the difference is between the town vs locality classification for Allendale East. I am aware that state suburbs in the ABS are based on the named area from the official Named Geography gazette but locality is based on the urban centre population.

But I always thought that in reference a locality and town are the same. For that matter the population size of the town is smaller than the locality. How does that work ? Thanks in advance. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sdinesh2222 (talk • contribs) 00:20, 7 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there, just wanted to thank you again for assessing the M&LA article as a part of the Australia Wikiproject! I am a university student from Sydney, Australia and I am currently expanding the article for a Wikipedia education unit I am undertaking. If it is not too much of a hassle, I would appreciate it if you could review the article. I strive to make a meaningful contribution to this article and would be very grateful for your advice and feedback. Thank you and take care, Umbrella.Won (talk) 08:16, 18 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
