Apoinga

Thank you for the kind message - and for the very useful expansion. Glad to know they're of interest. I'm finding the ones out Burra way a bit challenging because the modern localities don't easily line up with old uses, and it's very difficult for me to tell from say Trove whether a reference to "Apoinga" is talking about the hundred or about the much smaller but apparently never formally surveyed village that formed around the hotel and smelting works. Interesting nonetheless! The Drover's Wife (talk) 15:44, 2 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned non-free image File:CountryMinded logo.jpg

⚠

Thanks for uploading File:CountryMinded logo.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 17:16, 15 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Logo has been superseded, so I have deleted this version immediately. Thanks for alerting me. --Scott Davis Talk 00:41, 16 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Help with Cartoonist page photo captions listed twice

On this page:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cartoonist

The information about the cartoonist in the top right photo, Jack Elrod, is listed twice, which is this under his photo: Cartoonist Jack Elrod at work on a Sunday page of the Mark Trail comic strip

It is listed once below the photo and once again the same caption "Cartoonist Jack Elrod at work on a Sunday page of the Mark Trail comic strip" below the title "Comics" where you see a number of white dialogue balloon icons. Can you fix this so the information about the photo isn't listed under the dialogue balloons as well? I can't seem to fix it. Thanks. Neptune's Trident (talk) 19:11, 28 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

 Fixed by modifying {{Comics navbar}} to deliberately set a caption for the second image instead of passing through the same value for caption and topcaption. --Scott Davis Talk 03:03, 30 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Page Trolls

Hi Scott

There are two users ("The Drovers Wife" and "Benvenuto") who keep editing Health Australia Party's wikipedia page with inaccurate information. What can be done about these trolling the page with false edits?

Many thanks, Kate — Preceding unsigned comment added by AjnaCondor (talkcontribs) 08:36, 31 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
