Disambiguation link notification for July 24

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Sacred Heart College, Ballarat, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Independent. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

Deletion discussion about Phoenix P-12 Community College

Hello, EllsworthSchmittendorf,

I wanted to let you know that there's a discussion about whether Phoenix P-12 Community College should be deleted. Your comments are welcome at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Phoenix P-12 Community College .

If you're new to the process, articles for deletion is a group discussion (not a vote!) that usually lasts seven days. If you need it, there is a guide on how to contribute. Last but not least, you are highly encouraged to continue improving the article; just be sure not to remove the tag about the deletion nomination from the top.

Thanks, --Mr.Luther34-- 16:49, 20 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of Phoenix P-12 Community College

Hello EllsworthSchmittendorf,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Phoenix P-12 Community College for deletion, because it seems to be promotional, rather than an encyclopedia article.

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion, but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. --Mr.Luther34-- 16:49, 20 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Copying within Wikipedia requires proper attribution

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from Federation University Australia into University of Ballarat. While you are welcome to re-use Wikipedia's content, here or elsewhere, Wikipedia's licensing does require that you provide attribution to the original contributor(s). When copying within Wikipedia, this is supplied at minimum in an edit summary at the page into which you've copied content. It is good practice, especially if copying is extensive, to also place a properly formatted {{copied}} template on the talk pages of the source and destination. If you have copied material between pages before, even if it was a long time ago, please provide attribution for that duplication. You can read more about the procedure and the reasons at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. Thank you. — — Diannaa (talk) 22:05, 16 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

November 2016

Hi, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you tried to give Wyndham Central College a different title by copying its content and pasting either the same content, or an edited version of it, into another page with a different name. This is known as a "cut-and-paste move", and it is undesirable because it splits the page history, which is legally required for attribution. Instead, the software used by Wikipedia has a feature that allows pages to be moved to a new title together with their edit history.

In most cases, once your account is four days old and has ten edits, you should be able to move an article yourself using the "Move" tab at the top of the page (the tab may be hidden in a dropdown menu for you). This both preserves the page history intact and automatically creates a redirect from the old title to the new. If you cannot perform a particular page move yourself this way (e.g. because a page already exists at the target title), please follow the instructions at requested moves to have it moved by someone else. Also, if there are any other pages that you moved by copying and pasting, even if it was a long time ago, please list them at Wikipedia:Requests for history merge. Thank you.

Warracknabeal Wheatbelt

If you reinsert it will you then please make sure that you also add a definition of what it is supposed to mean - otherwise it is precisely not informative at all, but only confusing. I didnt know what "wheatbelt" meant, when I looked it up it said the Wheatbelt was in western Australia. Warracknabeal is not in Western Australia. Also a source would be good.·maunus · snunɐɯ· 08:20, 23 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

OK, don't worry about it. I found some information and created the article about the Wheatbelt (Australia).·maunus · snunɐɯ· 09:37, 23 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hey Maunus! Thanks for voicing your concerns. Wheatbelt (or wheat belt) is a word I here all the time, especially in regards to the Wimmera. I found it in the dictionary here: [1]. Here is an article I found about Warracknabeal about it [2]. I'll cite it in the page :) EllsworthSchmittendorf (talk) 11:38, 23 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

BTW Maunus, the new page you've created is a bit odd. I'm sure there is no national wheatbelt and I've never heard of an "Australian wheatbelt". You've only cited one source, and even it is named "Wheat Belt Regions of Australia" - it mentions multiple different ones (including the one Warracknabeal is in) and mentions no national one. Maybe you should reconsider the purpose of the page or make a new one under "Australian wheatbelt regions" (or something similar). If you don't think so, then I'll probably put this up for discussion in the Aus wikiproject sometime so it can be clearer :) EllsworthSchmittendorf (talk) 11:56, 23 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hmm, well I was considering it a single belt around the soutthern and eastern rim of the continent even if it is interrupted. Feel free to change the page as you see fit. The problem was adding "wheatbelt" as a descriptor of a town in East Australia when Wikipedia only recognized the Western Wheatbelt region. I am not going to do more with this, but please do improve however you can.·maunus · snunɐɯ· 14:15, 23 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

New Challenge for Oceania and Australia

Hi, Wikipedia:WikiProject Oceania/The 10,000 Challenge and Wikipedia:WikiProject Australia/The 5000 Challenge are up and running based on Wikipedia:The 10,000 Challenge which has currently produced over 2300 article improvements and creations. The Australia challenge would feed into the wider region one and potentially New Zealand could have a smaller challenge too. The main goal is content improvement, tackling stale old stubs and important content and improving sourcing/making more consistent but new articles are also welcome if sourced. I understand that this is a big goal for regular editors, especially being summertime where you are, but if you'd like to see large scale quality improvements happening for Oceania and Australia like The Africa Destubathon, which has produced over 1700 articles in 5 weeks, sign up on the page. The idea will be an ongoing national editathon/challenge for the region but fuelled by a series of contests to really get articles on every province and subject mass improved. The Africa contest scaled worldwide would naturally provide great benefits to Oceania countries, particularly Australia and attract new editors. I would like some support from existing editors here to get the Challenges off to a start with some articles to make doing a Destubathon worthwhile and potentially bring about hundreds of improvements in a few weeks through a contest! Cheers.♦ --MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 02:12, 24 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Invitation to an in-person meetup in Mohua / Golden Bay

Thinking about your summer break? Think about joining other Wikipedians and Wikimedians in Golden Bay / Mohua! Details are on the meetup page. There's heaps of interesting stuff to work on e.g. the oldest extant waka or New Zealand's oldest ongoing legal case. Or you may spend your time taking photos and then upload them.

Golden Bay is hard to get to and the airline flying into Tākaka uses small planes, so we are holding some seats from and to Wellington and we are offering attendees a $200 travel subsidy to help with costs.
