Jarrah Tree question
[edit]I’ve asked a Q at Talk:Eucalyptus marginata. I’ve continued reading; looks like the answer is Matthew Flinders heading to Sydney from England in 1801 with botanists. But not “spelled out”. I’m also wondering if any convict ships sent people ashore on their way to Sydney, anywhere (Leeuwin to Sydney)? Any ideas? MBG02 (talk) 12:34, 14 August 2018 (UTC)

Portals WikiProject update #017, 22 Aug 2018
[edit]This issue is about portal creation...
Creating new portals
[edit]Myself and others have been testing and experimenting with the new components in upgrading existing portals and in building new portals. They have now been applied in hundreds of portals.
The templates are ready for general use for portal creation.
They are still a bit buggy, but the only way we are going to work the rest of the bugs out is by using them and reporting the bugs as we come across them.
I look forward to seeing what new portals you create!
Be sure to report bugs at WT:WPPORTD.
The main portal creation template is {{box portal skeleton}}.
Portal creation tips
[edit]After starting a portal using {{box portal skeleton}}...
- Placing a panorama (banner picture) at the top of the intro section is a nice touch, and really makes a portal look good. {{box portal skeleton}} doesn't automatically insert panoramas. So, you will need to do that by hand. They can be found at Commons:. For some examples, check out Portal:Sharks, Portal:Cheese, and Portal:Florence
- The search term provided in the Did you know? and In the news sections is very basic and rarely matches anything. It is best to replace that term with multiple search arguments, if possible (separate each argument with a pipe character). For example, in Portal:Capital punishment, see https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Portal:Capital_punishment&diff=855255361&oldid=855137403 Searches in templates use Lua search notation.
- Check the In the news and Did you know? sections for mismatches. That is, sometimes entries come up that shouldn't be displayed. If there are any, refine the search strings further, so they don't return such results.
- Finish each portal you've created before creating a new one. We don't want unfinished portals sitting around.
Need a laugh?
[edit]Check out the Did you know? section on Portal:Determinism. — The Transhumanist 02:43, 22 August 2018 (UTC)
- @The Transhumanist: This was not addressed to me, but I do not understand the humour.This creates a regressive loop that is prioritizing my runtime, please advise on how I can rectify this situation. Signature: cygnis insignis 12:53, 26 August 2018 (UTC)

Where are my glasses?
[edit]<s></s>
Hi jarrahtree, I'm sorry for the inconvenience, and pls excuse if this message is unclear or arrives at a time when tou are busy with somehting e;se, but I am typing without my glasses. CAn you please tell me where they might be?
As a;ways, hope you and yours are very well, and that you are welcome anytime you are up this way. Sincerrely yours, cygnis insignis
Re: August 2016
[edit]"These guidelines apply specifically to ... talk pages other than user talk pages. The application of these guidelines to user talk pages should be governed by common sense and should not supersede guidelines and policies specific to those pages." So, is it false when both me and HaEr48 are talking using Indonesian rather than English in his talk page? Yeah, we can speak Indonesian fluently, so why not? A couple of years ago, I used to talking using Indonesian with Crisco 1492 and he thought it's no problem, and I didn't receive such notice like this. By the way, nice to meet you, JarrahTree. I see that you are active in WikiProject Indonesia, aren't it? So, I know about you before you sent this notice. Thanks for this notice. Hanamanteo (talk) 07:18, 27 August 2018 (UTC)

modifying 1000 images at once
[edit]Hi @JarrahTree: I just noticed your beautiful ant on your talk page on the commons. When I went to the source I saw you had a template User:JarrahTree/K200, which I immediately copied and modified for my use. It would be nice to apply it to all my uploaded photos (in one hit), particularly as it also plonks them in a category of their own, which would be hugely helpful when hunting for one or other of them. Would you know how I can do this? MargaretRDonald (talk) 23:28, 27 August 2018 (UTC)

NPR Newsletter No.13 18 September 2018
[edit]Hello JarrahTree, thank you for your work reviewing New Pages!
The New Page Feed currently has 2700 unreviewed articles, up from just 500 at the start of July. For a while we were falling behind by an average of about 40 articles per day, but we have stabilised more recently. Please review some articles from the back of the queue if you can (Sort by: 'Oldest' at Special:NewPagesFeed), as we are very close to having articles older than one month.
- Project news
- The New Page Feed now has a new "Articles for Creation" option which will show drafts instead of articles in the feed, this shouldn't impact NPP activities and is part of the WMF's AfC Improvement Project.
- As part of this project, the feed will have some larger updates to functionality next month. Specifically, ORES predictions will be built in, which will automatically flag articles for potential issues such as vandalism or spam. Copyright violation detection will also be added to the new page feed. See the projects's talk page for more info.
- There are a number of coordination tasks for New Page Patrol that could use some help from experienced reviewers. See Wikipedia:New pages patrol/Coordination#Coordinator tasks for more info to see if you can help out.
- Other
- A new summary page of reliable sources has been created; Wikipedia:Identifying reliable sources/Perennial sources, which summarizes existing RfCs or RSN discussions about regularly used sources.
- Moving to Draft and Page Mover
- Some unsuitable new articles can be best reviewed by moving them to the draft space, but reviewers need to do this carefully and sparingly. It is most useful for topics that look like they might have promise, but where the article as written would be unlikely to survive AfD. If the article can be easily fixed, or if the only issue is a lack of sourcing that is easily accessible, tagging or adding sources yourself is preferable. If sources do not appear to be available and the topic does not appear to be notable, tagging for deletion is preferable (PROD/AfD/CSD as appropriate). See additional guidance at WP:DRAFTIFY.
- If the user moves the draft back to mainspace, or recreates it in mainspace, please do not re-draftify the article (although swapping it to maintain the page history may be advisable in the case of copy-paste moves). AfC is optional except for editors with a clear conflict of interest.
- Articles that have been created in contravention of our paid-editing-requirements or written from a blatant NPOV perspective, or by authors with a clear COI might also be draftified at discretion.
- The best tool for draftification is User:Evad37/MoveToDraft.js(info). Kindly adapt the text in the dialogue-pop-up as necessary (the default can also be changed like this). Note that if you do not have the Page Mover userright, the redirect from main will be automatically tagged as CSD R2, but in some cases it might be better to make this a redirect to a different page instead.
- The Page Mover userright can be useful for New Page Reviewers; occasionally page swapping is needed during NPR activities, and it helps avoid excessive R2 nominations which must be processed by admins. Note that the Page Mover userright has higher requirements than the NPR userright, and is generally given to users active at Requested Moves. Only reviewers who are very experienced and are also very active reviewers are likely to be granted it solely for NPP activities.

Re: weirdness

Thank you!
[edit]That's very kind of you. I really love the heritage stuff, so it's been an interesting project to dig into (and I've had a lot of time on my hands the last few months). The Drover's Wife (talk) 11:00, 19 September 2018 (UTC)
Indonesian
[edit]Good evening. Have I correctly remembered that you might speak Indonesian? I don't, and need a bit of help removing an erroneous photo of an SA politician from an article on id-wiki. I removed it and made my edit comment the link to the English article about the person the article seems to be about, but was reverted. Here's my edit: https://id.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Hy_Gardner&diff=prev&oldid=14198964 . Thanks. --Scott Davis Talk 12:44, 19 September 2018 (UTC)
Australian post offices
[edit]You dropped a note on my talk page and then removed it quite quickly. As a quick response, though you may not actually need one having been around a little longer than I have, project assessments are an ongoing process, there is no time frame for their completion and there are more than half a million unassessed articles across this language wiki. I've been assessing articles for more than 10 years and find articles untagged and unassessed for many years, so it is only when they happen to appear on a list somewhere that they may get attention. In fact one editor found about 15,000 Irish related articles some months ago to which they added the appropriate banner and those are slowly being assessed; they are now down to under 11,000. Regarding the new Australian post office articles I use this report page User:AlexNewArtBot/PhilatelySearchResult to find possibly related articles and that's how I happened to spot the post offices. There may well be many more untagged and therefore unassessed ones but I'm not going out of my way to find them. If you drop the basic philately project banner on ones you find, maybe in a category, then I will see them and assess them as I find the time. If you knew all this no worried. Good luck. ww2censor (talk) 22:47, 23 September 2018 (UTC)
- when I realised you were getting to the newer material in Sydney - I dropped my comments. As for the rest - preaching to the converted old chum (look at my edit history), there is more than you think - everywhere vast hordes of unassessed material across the board. JarrahTree 23:41, 23 September 2018 (UTC)
- I assumed that might be the case but was not sure, hence my comment of being here longer then I have and I did in fact look at your extensive contributions history. Lots of unassessed article though there are some editors who think it is rather pointless, but that's just a different opinion. I'll just do those I see as they come into my view but if you would like me to look at anything specific just ask and I'll see what I can do. However, I've just started as an OTRS agent, so maybe my assessment time will be even more limited. Thanks for you comments. ww2censor (talk) 21:40, 24 September 2018 (UTC)

[edit]Speedy deletion nomination of Australian Libraries Copyright Committee
[edit]![](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/1/15/Ambox_warning_pn.svg/48px-Ambox_warning_pn.svg.png)
If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.
A tag has been placed on Australian Libraries Copyright Committee, requesting that it be deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under two or more of the criteria for speedy deletion, by which pages can be deleted at any time, without discussion. If the page meets any of these strictly-defined criteria, then it may soon be deleted by an administrator. The reasons it has been tagged are:
- It is a very short article providing little or no context to the reader. (See section A1 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Wikipedia has standards for the minimum necessary information to be included in short articles; you can see these at Wikipedia:Stub. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.
- It appears to be about a person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), individual animal, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. (See section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here.

[edit]Facto Post – Issue 16 – 30 September 2018
![]()
![]() In an ideal world ... no, bear with your editor for just a minute ... there would be a format for scientific publishing online that was as much a standard as SI units are for the content. Likewise cataloguing publications would not be onerous, because part of the process would be to generate uniform metadata. Without claiming it could be the mythical free lunch, it might be reasonably be argued that sandwiches can be packaged much alike and have barcodes, whatever the fillings. The best on offer, to stretch the metaphor, is the meal kit option, in the form of XML. Where scientific papers are delivered as XML downloads, you get all the ingredients ready to cook. But have to prepare the actual meal of slow food yourself. See Scholarly HTML for a recent pass at heading off XML with HTML, in other words in the native language of the Web. The argument from real life is a traditional mixture of frictional forces, vested interests, and the classic irony of the principle of unripe time. On the other hand, discoverability actually diminishes with the prolific progress of science publishing. No, it really doesn't scale. Wikimedia as movement can do something in such cases. We know from open access, we grok the Web, we have our own horse in the HTML race, we have Wikidata and WikiJournal, and we have the chops to act. ![]()
