AfD nomination of Mount Lubra bushfire

I have nominated Mount Lubra bushfire, an article that you created, for deletion. I do not think that this article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Mount Lubra bushfire. Your opinions on the matter are welcome at that same discussion page; also, you are welcome to edit the article to address these concerns. Thank you for your time.

List of Earthquakes in Australia

With these edits I added the "inuse" tag and commented out "underconstruction" so I could repair several errors that you made before the number of errors increases to the point where repair is too hard. As per the request in the tag, could you please stop editing the article until I remove the tag? Then please note the changes and improvements that I have made. This will make it easier for you to add to the article without making further mistakes. At present, some of your edits are reverting corrections that I have made to the article, reintroducing errors. --AussieLegend (talk) 08:19, 4 April 2009 (UTC)

I've finished editing the article for now but there are a few things you should note. Dates should be written as prescribed at Wikipedia:Manual of Style (dates and numbers)#Dates and months should not be abbreviated e.g. September, not Sept. Everything needs to be verifiable, as required by Wikipedia:Verifiability. I noted a few claims that weren't supported by the citations provided. Currencies should be formatted as per Wikipedia:Manual of Style (dates and numbers)#Currencies, with the exception that by convention we use "AUD" instead of "AU", as AUD is the proper code. Regarding references, I did note two citations that merely point to the home page of the Seismology Research Centre. These are virtually useless. A direct link to the information you're citing is needed. Finally (I think), using bare urls for references can result in link rot. It's better to fully cite sources using Template:Cite web, as I've done. --AussieLegend (talk) 09:42, 4 April 2009 (UTC)

Placenames

When wikilinking, redirects should be avoided unless there is a very good reason for linking to a redirect. In Australia, the naming convention for Australian places, as it applies to most places in this article, is "placename, state". When wikilinking to the articles, use the form [[placename, state|placename]]. For example, the link to Yass, NSW would be [[Yass, New South Wales|Yass]], not just [[Yass]]. This doesn't apply to places like the ocean and capital cities, but it does apply to all suburbs, towns and non-capital cities. There's also no need, and in fact it's discouraged, to link to the same place more than once in the same section. In this edit, for example, you need only to have linked to the first occurrence of Yass. --AussieLegend (talk) 08:20, 5 April 2009 (UTC)

List of earthquakes

Please before trying that on a list - a discussion on the talk page might be more fruitful - as there need to be criteria for inclusion spelt out there so other editors can understand what is going on SatuSuro 09:46, 12 July 2010 (UTC)

yes, i moved some less significant quakes down the list as I didn't think they qualified as "significant". yes, i agree that the criteria is confusing, but i think that for a quake to qualify as significant it would need to be either of a high magnitude by australian standards, and/or have caused significant and/or widespread damage, and/or caused casualties Trex21 (talk) 05:01, 13 July 2010 (UTC)

2010 Pico Rivera earthquake

I noticed your comment on the talk page. I agree it makes no sense to have such an article for a 4.4 earthquake in a seismically active region. Since you're a registered user and I am not, would you care to put it up for AfD?--70.80.234.196 (talk) 13:15, 11 September 2010 (UTC)
