Kojonup, Western Australia

I reverted your three edits to the Kojonup, Western Australia, which were probably made in good faith but lacked in constructiveness. When adding a population figure to an article it really needs a Wikipedia:Reliable sources, especially when the figure is about twice as high as the last Australian census in 2021 quoted. It is difficult to see how Kojonup's population has grown that much in such a short time, but if it indeed has, a source shouldn't be hard to find. The other thing is that I could not make any sense out of the sentence of "Kojonup is located between Perth and Albany, on the recently explained Albany Highway". How has the Albany Highway been recently explained? feel free to re-add if you can clarify and source these statements. Calistemon (talk) 00:36, 1 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I am so sorry for that. The websites I have been getting these from could be fake. I will answer your questions:

I was looking around Wikipedia for an article to edit and found the Kojonup article, in which I live. I started editing, but surprisingly I didn’t even know my own town’s population, therefore leading me to search it up. I found this site and assumed the population was accurate as it was coming from a built-up site. Therefore, I pasted it into the article. I now realise that was the Shire of Kojonup’s population. I’m so sorry.

For the “recently explained Albany Highway” thing, I noticed that Albany Highway was already mentioned earlier in the article. I accept I should have worded it differently.

Thank you for your time, and I apologise once again. HtialilwW (talk) 00:55, 1 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I can't answer on the reliability of the website but the population figure on it is for the whole Shire of Kojonup, not just the town of Kojonup, Western Australia, two entities with different sizes and population figures. That is why the number is much higher. Calistemon (talk) 01:11, 1 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I had already explained that, and from my use I don’t think it’s accurate seeing as it’s a German website. HtialilwW (talk) 01:14, 1 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, you did, I missed that one. The website not being of English origin doesn't matter, there is lots of non-English reliable sources, but I wouldn't be keen to use that one. The most reliable source for population figures of Australia is the most recent Australian Census, 2021, which is used in the infobox of the article. But even there, it can be confusing: There is multiple figures for Kojonup, apart from the shire. There is the locality, which has a population of 1,157, and there is the urban centre, which has smaller boundaries and has a population of 878. Calistemon (talk) 01:32, 1 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

My bad, I didn’t know there was a shire for Kojonup. Thank you. HtialilwW (talk) 03:31, 15 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Please consider using the Article Wizard or the Articles for Creation procedure. For more information about creating articles, you may want to read "Your first article".

Proposed deletion of Ping Pong Village

The article Ping Pong Village has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

No reliable sources on the page; a search reveals no reliable sources. There is a village at that geolocation, but its name and other information can't be verified.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Hello Klbrain. I have come to note my apology. While exploring Google Maps, I came across Ping Pong Village in Cambodia and felt inspired to write an article about it. However, sourcing reliable information proved to be quite difficult. I gathered what I could, even utilizing Google Street View to create the Landscape section. Despite my efforts, I recognize that the information I compiled may not be sufficient for a trustworthy article. My intention was to help Wikipedia, and I sincerely apologize for my contributions there. Have a nice day! HtialilwW (talk) 09:49, 5 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

No apology necessary; thanks for giving it a go! I too tried searching for something more reliable and struggled - it might still hold on if an administrator thinks that its rescuable. Klbrain (talk) 09:57, 5 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of Ping Pong Village

Hello HtialilwW,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Ping Pong Village for deletion, because it's a redirect from an article title to a namespace that's not for articles.

If you don't want Ping Pong Village to be deleted, you can contest this deletion, but don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. Thanks!

Hello Adamtt9. Speedy deletion is essential in this case. I relocated the article to draftspace per the message left above, but I was unsure how to remove the normal article. I can only apologize for the oversight. HtialilwW (talk) 12:53, 5 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

January 2025

Hello, I'm Graham87. Wikipedia is written by people who have a wide diversity of opinions, but we try hard to make sure articles have a neutral point of view. Your recent edit to Eucla, Western Australia seemed less than neutral and has been removed. If you think this was a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Graham87 (talk) 13:21, 6 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Please see my edit summary there. Please actually explain what you're doing in edit summaries; "fixed" won't cut it. Graham87 (talk) 13:21, 6 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Also, I'm curious about whether you've previously edited under another account here. Your edit pattern is unusual. Graham87 (talk) 13:26, 6 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Graham87. I apologize for the edits I've made. Despite my numerous efforts to help the community, they have often resulted in disappointment. At the time, I misunderstood the purpose of an edit summary. My intention was to enhance the article by correcting grammar and spelling, as well as providing additional information. Additionally, I do edit under a different account, HtialilwW (alt) (talk | contribs), which I use when I'm not connected to my regular network. I appreciate your time to explain this to me. Once again, I’m sorry. HtialilwW (talk) 03:29, 7 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Message understood and received. I was wondering about any *previous* accounts. Public alt accounts are OK. Graham87 (talk) 13:56, 7 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not move a page to a title that is harder to follow, or move it unilaterally against naming conventions or consensus, as you did to Toledo Settlement. This includes making page moves while a discussion remains underway. We have some guidelines to help with deciding what title is best for a subject. If you would like to experiment with page titles and moving, please use the test Wikipedia. Thank you. CycloneYoris ^talk! 02:11, 23 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Your most recent edits, etc.

Hello, please see this edit summary of mine regarding my reversion of your two most recent edits. Also, I recently noticed this edit of yours to your user page where you changed your place of origin from Iceland to Malaysia. That edit, along with your claim to live in the relatively isolated small Western Australian town of Kojonup and at the same time being completely unaware of its local shire, stretch the bounds of credibility to extreme lengths. Why are you doing things like this? Graham87 (talk) 10:15, 9 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Graham87. In response to your inquiry, this account is actively used by three friends who all met off other platforms. I am Ares, the individual from Western Australia replying to you. I apologize for the shared access and will ensure the account is secured moving forward. Have a nice day. HtialilwW (talk) 11:05, 9 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the response Ares. Yeah shared accounts are absolutely not allowed here. All three of you should have separate accounts. Graham87 (talk) 11:21, 9 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

My account is now secure and no longer accessible to others. I sincerely apologize for the situation and am truly upset about it. HtialilwW (talk) 23:47, 9 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
