Ravenshoe hotel

Hello Jacinta,
Thanks for your work, especially on Ravenshoe - one of my favourite places. (Spend time there looking for unusual plants.) Whilst not a great reference (a "dot.com") for the highest pub, at least yours is one. The article calls the hotel "The Ravenshoe Hotel" the highest but I think "The Tully Falls Hotel" in your reference is the highest - it's further up Grigg Street than "The Club Hotel". I'm pretty sure there is no "Ravenshoe Hotel". Maybe it would be better if the hotel was not named in the article (advertising). I'll leave it to you to make the change? Gderrin (talk) 22:55, 7 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The hotel changed its name in 2014, see [1] Kerry (talk) 01:43, 10 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Yep - nice work. Gderrin (talk) 01:45, 10 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hi

Could you make sure that Kerry gets a copy of the article Improving Wikipedia in Incite? if she hasnt got a copy already? Thanks. Sorry I missed you the other week when I was in Brisbane... JarrahTree 06:24, 6 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there - yes I emailed her a digitised version - thanks for letting me know :) JacintaJS (talk) 06:34, 6 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Nomination of Blackmores for deletion

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Blackmores is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Blackmores until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article. Robert McClenon (talk) 04:24, 6 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Robert I am creating stub articles for our Wikipedia editing club to work on 7 Aug, hence the minimal page content and sources. However I will look for more independent sources now to maintain the articles legitimacy til then. JacintaJS (talk) 04:41, 6 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

User:JacintaJS - Please do not create "placeholder" stubs in Wikipedia article space that have no references or inadequate references, because they may be subject to speedy deletion. Placeholder stubs may be created in draft space or in user space, where they will not be subject to the strict notability rules of article space. If you need advice on how to use draft space or user space, ask at the Teahouse. Robert McClenon (talk) 06:10, 6 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

User:Robert McClenon Thanks for the advice, I'm still learning the ropes and the draft space makes a lot more sense. I appreciate your explanation. JacintaJS (talk) 06:59, 6 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

A kitten for you!

Hi JacintaJS, i was surprised that Blackmores didn't already have a wikiarticle, nice job creating it! Anyway, would you be okay with it, and other articles related to #QWiki, being added to Wikipedia:WikiProject Australia/The 5000 Challenge, and of course, you and any other editors are more than welcome to become participants.

Coolabahapple (talk) 10:16, 6 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hi User talk:Coolabahapple Sounds great! I still have my training wheels on so Kerry Raymond has been helping me (bigtime) get our #QWiki content together, and I can see she has added some of our articles already. I'm going to suggest we feature the Challenge as the monthly theme in an upcoming month and work on the most wanted missing articles list. JacintaJS (talk) 10:42, 6 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

JacintaJS, you're in good hands with Kerry Raymond, she is very supportive and an excellent editor:) Coolabahapple (talk) 08:03, 7 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

A belated welcome!

Qld cultural references

In Barcaldine, Queensland, as per MOS:CULTURALREFS, I moved the info about the two works into its own section (Cultural references) rather than in the history section. These were fictional works inspired by events at Barcaldine (but, being fiction, neednot be an accurate representation of that event) and the creation of the work does not appear to be part of the history of Barcaldine itself. If it was a non-fiction work about the history of Barcaldine, we could either cite it or add it to the further reading, the treatment of fiction and non-fiction being inherently different. Indeed, it might be argued that both works are cultural references to the strike itself just as much to the town, so I think you could add them as cultural references in the strike article too. Kerry (talk) 05:48, 14 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I think for 1Lib1Ref purposes, keep it simple and say that fictional/literary works go into a Cultural references section which would be one of the later sections (but before "See also"). Kerry (talk) 05:53, 14 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks Kerry, it makes sense to have them under a Cultural References heading. These edits aren't for 1Lib1Ref purposes at this point. JacintaJS (talk) 06:04, 14 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

1Lib1Ref 2021

Hi RareCuts

Queensland Memory is participating in Wikipedia’s 1Lib1Ref campaign again this year.

I found your name in the project pages for previous years and wanted to know if you would like to do some editing again this year?

Tania Schafer and I have scheduled 2 pop in sessions in the Edge’s Digital Media Lab, 10am-12noon Thursday 27th May or Wednesday 2nd June but the great thing about Wikipedia is you can do it wherever and whenever suits you! T

If you’re interested in helping us get the number of State Library edits up this year please read the 2021 project page - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:GLAM/State_Library_of_Queensland/1Lib1Ref_2021.

Before you get started please sign up to the Dashboard so we can keep track of the number of edits SLQ has made. Or send me your Wiki name I can sign you up.

This year we are focusing on getting our JOL Blogs referenced or added as External Links on relevant Wikipedia pages, I can email you a document for blog content ideas. However if this doesn’t interest you see our project page for other ideas.

Let Tania Schafer or myself know if you have any questions.

Thanks
