The article DIY rainbow crossing has been proposed for deletion. The proposed deletion notice added to the article should explain why.
While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the ((proposed deletion/dated))
notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing ((proposed deletion/dated))
will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. 168.12.253.66 (talk) 15:15, 13 May 2013 (UTC)

On 5 January 2014, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Journals of the First Fleet, which you created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that a collection of diaries by sailors and soldiers has been listed on the UNESCO-associated Australian Memory of the World Register? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Journals of the First Fleet. You are welcome to check how many hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, quick check) and it will be added to DYKSTATS if it got over 5,000. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page. |

Hi, the sands and wise directories need lots of work - I had only started the wise for wa, but in the geneaology section of what is left in the wa state library (shrinking like a harvest of violets, shelves reduced, stock reduced, staff reduced, and even leaks about the whole service being on the block so to speak) there are victorian and tasmanian live copies of old wise directories.. but time is in the way - good on you for starting the sands one anyways - the wise (and I am sure there are others as well) - cheers satusuro 11:11, 5 March 2015 (UTC)

Hello, Aliaretiree. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about in the article Photographic plate, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a COI may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. In particular, please:
In addition, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation (see WP:PAID).
Please familiarize yourself with relevant policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, sourcing and autobiographies.

Is now too big and too long. Something needs to be done. An average user of wikipedia could not easily access. Strongly suggest it is broken up into regions and Sydney. JarrahTree 05:51, 24 May 2016 (UTC)
I am quite concerned that effort is put in by someone to specifically take it on as a task, at some stage, so it would be very useful to have a conversation on wiki or off, as to how it is done - as the size is beyond a usual user of wikipedia to deal with. Rather than go to noticeboards and other similar exposed locations that can invoke the usual suspects, I was hoping you might offer some suggestions or criterion. In western australia we have gone to regions. Your comment(s) would be appreciated JarrahTree 01:18, 30 May 2016 (UTC)
I really think that the task solver doesnt necessarily have be you, I, or any one particular editor, but somehow even a taskforce aka group of interested eds in discussion about newspaper lists for australia - in other words the consultative process amongst editors that you raise is very important.
At this stage, considering your response, perhaps alpha or era breakups. If you have a look at the Western Australia project geographical lists - there are singular completeness collections that have been broken up into separate alpha components simply to make them manageable, as anything otherwise is well beyond a users capacity to load on mobiles, or older and lower power computers.
It would be good to think there is a positive forward thinking process that might resolve the issue of the size, and that there is a recognition of a definite need for the item to be made more amenable to users who are not on high capacity broadband crunchers JarrahTree 08:46, 30 May 2016 (UTC)
Please note that parent and child cats (some confuse the issue by referring to subcat and supercat) are not needed on the articles you edited today - and most have been removed. 'Literary awards' are generic for all, 'Australian literary awards' is a 'child' and the parent does not get added. Thanks. JarrahTree 13:58, 19 January 2017 (UTC)
Hello Aliaretiree,
I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Robert Merlini for deletion, because the article doesn't clearly say why the subject is important enough to be included in an encyclopedia.
If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion, but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.
You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions.

Hi Aliaretiree, 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! — xaosflux Talk 16:37, 20 January 2018 (UTC)

Hi all, following up on last month's announcement...
Multilingual file captions will be released this week, on either Wednesday, 9 January or Thursday, 10 January 2019. Captions are a feature to add short, translatable descriptions to files. Here's some links you might want to look follow before the release, if you haven't already:
Additionally, there will be an IRC office hour on Thursday, 10 January with the Structured Data team to talk about file captions, as well as anything else the community may be interested in. Date/time conversion, as well as a link to join, are on Meta.
Thanks for your time, I look forward to seeing those who can make it to the IRC office hour on Thursday. -- Keegan (WMF) (talk) 21:09, 7 January 2019 (UTC)An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Balmoral, New South Wales, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page The Sun (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver).

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article List of LGBT rights activists in Sydney 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/List of LGBT rights activists in Sydney until a consensus is reached, and anyone, including you, 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. Bearcat (talk) 16:33, 17 June 2019 (UTC)
I will make sure it is salted into a user page or somewhere, and further development into a different type of article will almost certainly survive later... Will need to explain all offline sometime soon - its complicated... JarrahTree 13:17, 24 June 2019 (UTC)
There are two separate blog entries for Structured Data on Commons posted to Wikimedia Space that are of interest:
I just saw you wrote most of the Eirene Mort article - great work! I’ve been going through the list of missing articles of ADB women and slowly trying to them written.

Hi Aliaretiree
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

Hey @Aliaretiree, Your contributions to article of John Metcalfe (librarian) and William Herbert Ifould helped me quite a bit in drafting an article about the Free Library Movement in Australia and New South Wales so i was inclined to ask if you'd be interested in adding to the 'history' section and the 'people' section of the article. Thank you.
