Updating Template Query

I create a page for Fred Finch (footballer) and realised he was not listed in the list of Peter Crimmins Medal winners.

I updated that page and then added Finch to Template:Peter Crimmins Medal however the change to the template does not seem to have worked when I expand the template at the bottom of Fred Finch (footballer) - the first item should now read 1925: Finch. Not sure what I have done wrong (or what I have missed) - this is the first time I have tried to update a template.

Is anyone able to help me out?

Hi WHL. You've done everything fine, it can just take some time for changes to templates to filter through to the articles they're used on. It's got something to do with the Job queue, but that's about as much as I can explain because most of the technical stuff flies over my head. Anyway, you should be able to see the change to the template on the article within a few hours at most I'd expect. Jenks24 (talk) 11:36, 29 July 2014 (UTC)

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!

Autopatrolled

Hi WhiteHartLane, I just wanted to let you know that I have added the "autopatrolled" permission to your account, as you have created numerous, valid articles. This feature will have no effect on your editing, and is simply intended to reduce the workload on new page patrollers. For more information on the autopatrolled right, see Wikipedia:Autopatrolled. Feel free to leave me a message if you have any questions. Happy editing! Jenks24 (talk) 09:42, 16 November 2017 (UTC)

Bert James (footballer)

Hi WhiteHartLane, I was wondering what your source was for this edit, as, per WP:BLP, dates of death on living (or possibly living) people cannot be added without a reliable source. Do you have one that we could add to the page? Thanks. Canadian Paul 08:16, 7 July 2018 (UTC)
