It would be very useful to be emailed, but that is your call, one way or other... JarrahTree 01:37, 2 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Tasmania

is far becoming WP:NOTGALLERY territory - please note that it may well soon be pruned of the number of photographs. JarrahTree 08:40, 1 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, I think I was getting too comfortable with trying to "get the Tasmania page to be more similar to other state pages". I completely understand, and will restrict myself to only high-quality and informative images from Commons. --Mairremena (talk) 09:05, 1 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The fault is wikipedia wide - countries or cities in Asia are like advertising galleries before article - take care of items in the captions - where there are coloured links (maybe brown or fawn in colour) - it means that the title needs to be disambiguated - to a specific link. JarrahTree 09:33, 1 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you, I will certainly keep that in mind now! Unfortunately, I was using other island divisions (like Hokkaido in Asia) as examples (as well as the rest of Australia, Canada, and Europe) when I was editing Tasmania. Perhaps it could be better that there should be a certain amount of text before there is an ascribed image put to it? --Mairremena (talk) 09:39, 1 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

there's the rub - that's a point between - where some practices work - and others dont get adequately resolved. Then there are also rules that are implemented, while some areas are negotiable. Not really interested in giving chapter and verse here of the last ten years on that one, maybe when I am in Hobart sometime over a coffee or beer. Its a mixture of tedium, hohum, and geewhiz.

Thanks

for recent edits on Tasmanian items - always appreciated... JarrahTree 05:16, 24 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks! Mairremena (talk) 05:29, 24 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Beware! WP:NOTGALLERY can jump up like a rabid devil in the dark of the night without warning JarrahTree 02:37, 29 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Yep I was thinking of doing a bit of clean up and summarisation after getting some of the main stuff down. It feels like a fine line of what's relevant in the moment Mairremena (talk) 02:56, 29 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

the chook runs need very good tough wiring to keep the devils out... Hobart is almost too big as an article, for instance... reality and metaphors mixing horribly... I get nostalgic for the snow on the mountain... and air that feels like freezing is too polite a word... JarrahTree 03:02, 29 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: Cat and Fiddle Arcade (July 1)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed. Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by OnlyNano was:

This draft's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article. In summary, the draft needs multiple published sources that are:

in-depth (not just passing mentions about the subject)
reliable
secondary
independent of the subject

Make sure you add references that meet these criteria before resubmitting. Learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue. If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

The comment the reviewer left was:

It doesn't seem like you have enough reliable source that makes this mall subject of a Wikipedia article.

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit after they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Cat and Fiddle Arcade and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you do not edit your draft in the next 6 months, it will be considered abandoned and may be deleted.
If you need any assistance, or have experienced any untoward behavior associated with this submission, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk, on the reviewer's talk page or use Wikipedia's real-time chat help from experienced editors.

Thanks for the advice. Mairremena (talk) 00:17, 2 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, Mairremena! Having an article draft declined at Articles for Creation can be disappointing. If you are wondering why your article submission was declined, please post a question at the Articles for creation help desk. If you have any other questions about your editing experience, we'd love to help you at the Teahouse, a friendly space on Wikipedia where experienced editors lend a hand to help new editors like yourself! See you there! OnlyNano^talk 18:49, 1 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

the quality of the article

it is fine, and in fact better than quite a few Hobart and region articles - and could uncontroversialy return to main space - there is nothing in view of what it looks like now that is suspect. Adequate usage of Trove and other forms of reliable sources is obvious - https://trove.nla.gov.au/search?keyword=cat%20and%20fiddle%20arcade%20hobart - well done! JarrahTree 11:13, 2 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you so much! Clearly still very new and unsure about a lot of wiki stuff (still mainly a reader), so little nods of direction are helping me find stuff out over time. Mairremena (talk) 12:32, 2 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia research project at University of Technology, Sydney

Hi! I'm working on a research project on Wikipedia at the University of Technology, Sydney. We're interviewing people who have worked on Wikipedia pages on Australian places, including Tasmania. I'd love to have a chat to you about your work on the Tasmania article if you're interested! You can contact me here or on my user page! Very best, Francesca FSidotiUTS (talk) 00:44, 19 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, thanks for the offer--though I may not have very relevant info since it was a while ago that I did mixed editing on the Tasmania article (as an occasional user) Mairremena (talk) 09:09, 19 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I'm keen if you are! We're interested in all types of editing experiences of place articles, including occasional editing. You can email me from my user page so we can organise a time. Very best, Francesca FSidotiUTS (talk) 02:56, 24 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi! Just checking in if you might still be keen to do an interview? I'd love to chat with you if you are! Thanks! Francesca FSidotiUTS (talk) 23:33, 20 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
