Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Results of the 2020 Victorian local elections, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Peter Walsh. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

something happened

https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wheatbelt_(Western_Australia)&action=history

any thoughts? JarrahTree 09:20, 1 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Not sure. The map was actually like that before I created the template. QLDer in NSW (talk) 06:14, 3 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I think I've fixed it, there was an en dash in the name so the link to the map data was broken. --Canley (talk) 04:26, 4 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Arbcom

Have you considered WP:RFPP? If your problematic interlocutors are typically unregistered editors, page protection may be a relatively simple solution. I haven't looked deeply into the issue (and am ignorant of Australian politics), but I predict your case request will be declined as premature. Best of luck, Folly Mox (talk) 04:35, 19 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I think ArbCom may be the best option. QLDer in NSW (talk) 04:37, 19 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Arbitration case request

Hello QLDer in NSW. I'm a member of the Arbitration Committee. I wanted to reach out because I'm closing your arbitration case request, as arbitration is not required at this stage. Arbitration on Wikipedia is a lengthy, complicated process that involves the unilateral adjudication of a dispute by an elected committee. Although the Committee's decisions can be useful to certain disputes, in many cases the actual process of arbitration is unenjoyable and time-consuming. Moreover, for most disputes the community maintains an effective set of mechanisms for reaching a compromise or resolving a grievance.

In your case, your request appears to belong first at WP:RFPP, and if you have requests that go beyond the scope of that venue, then perhaps at WP:AN or WP:ANI. An arbitration case is an unpleasant process and unsuited to this issue. A case generally takes several months and hundreds of person-hours from parties and arbitrators and focuses on issues that the community is incapable of resolving. Please see {{Arb premature}} for more information from our standard message in these cases.

Best, KevinL (aka L235 · t · c) 04:53, 19 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for letting me know. Sorry if my request wasted any time. QLDer in NSW (talk) 07:23, 19 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Indigenous Voice to Parliament

Hi QLDer in NSW. Thanks for your work on linking the 2023 Australian Indigenous Voice referendum to the 2023 New Zealand general election. You might be interested in a Guardian article about NZ evangelist and anti co-governance activist Julian Batchelor's arguments being co-opted by opponents of the Indigenous Voice in Australia. Hope this helps. Andykatib 04:41, 21 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Disambiguation moves

Hi there, I see that you moved Matt Flynn (Australian footballer) to Matt Flynn (Australian rules footballer). One of the guidelines for disambiguation is that it should be as concise as it needs to be to be unambiguous. Generally for Aussie rules players, we use (footballer), unless there is another footballer, then (Australian footballer) unless there is another Australian footballer (of any code, even rugby). In this case (Australian footballer) was appropriate. Many sports have their own guidelines or commonly used terms, which may not be documented, but I find browsing the relevant categories will show you what most other disambiguated pages are named. I won't move it back, but please don't move any more unless there is true ambiguity with the current name. The-Pope (talk) 14:12, 27 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

2023 AFL Grand Final

Hi, apologies I do not mean to be rude but so you know, Wikipedia is not a live-scores app. I know this because there have been cases where live scores have been reverted with explanations saying "we are an encyclopedia, not a live scores app". For the moment, I have removed the second quarter progressive scores, but feel free to update them at the end of each quarter. Thanks, Avatar5991 (talk) 05:42, 30 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for letting me know. It was a great game but I'm disappointed that Brisbane lost. :( QLDer in NSW (talk) 21:54, 30 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I have sent you a note about a page you started

Hello, QLDer in NSW. Thank you for your work on Postcode gang. User:Vanamonde93, while examining this page as a part of our page curation process, had the following comments:

Hi QLDer, when you create a redirect such as Postcode gang, we generally encourage you to edit the target article (in this case, Gangs in Australia) to make sure it explains the term being redirected. In this case, it isn't clear why the redirect you created needs to exist, and we may need to delete it. Please see WP:R#DELETE #10.

To reply, leave a comment here and begin it with {{Re|Vanamonde93}}. Please remember to sign your reply with ~~~~. (Message delivered via the Page Curation tool, on behalf of the reviewer.)

Introduction to contentious topics

You have recently edited a page related to post-1992 politics of the United States and closely related people, a topic designated as contentious. This standard message is designed as an introduction to contentious topics and does not imply that there are any issues with your editing.

A special set of rules applies to certain topic areas, which are referred to as contentious topics. These are specially designated topics that tend to attract more persistent disruptive editing than the rest of the project and have been designated as contentious topics by the Arbitration Committee. When editing a contentious topic, Wikipedia’s norms and policies are more strictly enforced, and Wikipedia administrators have special powers in order to reduce disruption to the project.

Within contentious topics, editors should edit carefully and constructively, refrain from disrupting the encyclopedia, and:

  • adhere to the purposes of Wikipedia;
  • comply with all applicable policies and guidelines;
  • follow editorial and behavioural best practice;
  • comply with any page restrictions in force within the area of conflict; and
  • refrain from gaming the system.

Editors are advised to err on the side of caution if unsure whether making a particular edit is consistent with these expectations. If you have any questions about contentious topics procedures you may ask them at the arbitration clerks' noticeboard or you may learn more about this contentious topic here. You may also choose to note which contentious topics you know about by using the {{Ctopics/aware}} template.

Information icon You have recently made edits related to gender-related disputes or controversies or people associated with them. This is a standard message to inform you that gender-related disputes or controversies or people associated with them is a designated contentious topic. This message does not imply that there are any issues with your editing. For more information about the contentious topics system, please see Wikipedia:Contentious topics. ––FormalDude (talk) 22:57, 19 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

What gender-related article did I edit? QLDer in NSW (talk) 22:58, 19 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Homosexuality in modern sports and numerous LGBT categories. ––FormalDude (talk) 23:03, 19 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Homosexuality does not relate to gender but okay. QLDer in NSW (talk) 00:01, 20 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
The article is not exclusively about homosexuality. It covers gender in several ways. ––FormalDude (talk) 00:37, 20 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Okay, thanks for letting me know. QLDer in NSW (talk) 00:38, 20 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of Opinion polling for the 2018 Victorian state election

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Opinion polling for the 2018 Victorian state election requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be an unambiguous copyright infringement. This page appears to be a direct copy from https://academy.financialafrik.com/the-red/victoria-state-election-results. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images taken from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites or other printed material as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to use it for any reason — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. The same holds if you are not the owner but have their permission. If you are not the owner and do not have permission, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission for how you may obtain it. You might want to look at Wikipedia's copyright policy for more details, or ask a question here.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.
