Rockhampton North by-election in October of 1901

Greetings Kerry, we haven't chatted for a while!! Looking at List of Queensland state by-elections, did the North Rockhampton seat have a by-election in October or was the previous by-election held in June just over-ruled on by the courts in October? I can't find anything for a by-election in October?

I saw your message thanking me for my edit about Bishop Tim Harris on the page "Roman Catholic Diocese of Townsville" - this is probably not the best way to respond but I don't know any other method (I'm relatively new and still getting used to the nitty-gritty of Wikipedia editing), so just wanted to say: "You're welcome!"

Thanks

Thank you, Kerry! I am glad to be here and it’s cool to be a part of Wikipedia’s community. Kind regards, Shams_lnm [talk] 14:24, February 12th, 2018 (UTC)

Thank you

Very much for your article tagging for the Australian project of the dmy and engvar items, it is much appreciated JarrahTree 10:53, 24 August 2019 (UTC)

and to labour the point, the australian project has not had such a thorough and dedicated going through as you have done in main space, it has always been so piecemeal usually, it is something that raises the appearance of the project that is cared for, and not neglected.

coulda shoulda put the deleted dates onto the UseAE for continuity of original dates thing Dave Rave (talk) 23:32, 24 August 2019 (UTC)

I had wondered about that myself so I looked at the documentation. {{Use Australian English}} says "Month and year added" and lists the default as current date. {{EngvarB}} says "Month and year the template was added" and {{Use British English}} says "Month and year the article was checked for language consistency with British spelling". In an ideal world, this family of templates would all say exactly the same thing, but nonetheless they all seem to indicate it is the date someone made a determination on the appropriate kind of and English and added the corresponding template. So I used the current date as that's when I made the determination. Where I find articles which are already have Use Australian English *and* one of EngvarB or Use British English (and there's still about 300 of them to be individually checked if you want to help, I can send you a list), I simply delete the less appropriate template and leave the more appropriate template with its original date.

OSM Maps

Thanks for the edit on Narrabri, and for the reason. (I did put in a great many OSM maps showing boundaries at one point when I was particularly enthusiastic about places.) I do hope they get working again, (preferably soon) as a place is not a point. MargaretRDonald (talk) 20:50, 1 September 2019 (UTC)

@MargaretRDonald: Unfortunately these OSM maps just dont seem to display reliably. My guess is that we have so many layers of data dependency that something is timing out and the coords sent for mapping are defaulted to 0,0 which is then correctly displayed as a chunk of the Atlantic Ocean (if you zoom out the map, you see the west coast of Africa). Kerry (talk) 21:08, 1 September 2019 (UTC)

Wunderbar. (Pity.) Thanks for the further explanation. MargaretRDonald (talk) 23:02, 1 September 2019 (UTC)

A template for galleries

The French have a nice template for galleries {{Modềle:Message gallerie}} which, when inserted at the top of a gallery of images, produces a little "i" logo, together with the message "Cliquez sur une vignette pour l'aggrandir" (click on an image to enlarge it). See fr:Scaevola_plumieri I think it would be nice to have a corresponding template in enwiki. (It was only when I started to edit wikipedia that I realised that the photos could really be looked at and were not the tiny images which appeared on the page.) It seemed to me that you would know how to do this (although you might well not think it worthwhile?) MargaretRDonald (talk) 23:48, 1 September 2019 (UTC)

English Wikipedia doesn't really like galleries, see WP:GALLERY. I think you are right about being technically feasible but i am less sure about gaining consensus. Kerry (talk) 04:30, 2 September 2019 (UTC)

September 2019

Hi there, I'm User:Sparticusmaximus. I have an interest in corruption and misconduct in local government and I have the goal of more comprehensively documenting their associated criminal charges and convictions in Queensland (piecemeal at the moment, but something I would like do more of as I get the time). You recently left a message on my user page that you had removed some of my recent edits to Paul Pisasale as you claimed they "seem to be defamatory or libellous". I disagree. The facts added to the page were widely reported in the national press as evidenced by the reference included. My edits did not claim he committed these acts, only that he has been charged and committed to stand trial for them. These are facts, and describing them are neither defamatory nor libelous. I have therefore restored these facts to the article and added additional references from reliable sources in support. Sparticusmaximus (talk) 22:02, 16 September 2019 (UTC)
