The article Clackline Bridge you nominated as a good article has been placed on hold . The article is close to meeting the good article criteria, but there are some minor changes or clarifications needed to be addressed. If these are fixed within 7 days, the article will pass, otherwise it will fail. See Talk:Clackline Bridge for things which need to be addressed.

Thanks for making that change to duplinks (highlighting the first link of a pair in green), that will help a lot. I'm not a coder, but I can handle regex, and there's some interest in a script that will highlight everything within an article from a list of regex expressions in the same way as duplinks (and your way, in green and red, would be even better). Can you show me how to make that change to your script? - Dank (push to talk) 14:57, 2 February 2014 (UTC)

Should an article about a road be in the same-named category? I can see the sense the logic of both of:
Presumably we should be consistent about it, but recent changes are not consistent, eg
@Mitch Ames: Thoughts? - Evad37 [talk] 14:04, 7 May 2014 (UTC)
The WP:CAT guideline actually has the answer. Per the WP:EPONYMOUS subsection, Guidelines for articles #1: "The article itself should be a member of the eponymous category and should be sorted with a space to appear at the start of the listing". So I have done that for are the articles, and they are now consistent. I have also replaced the ((cat main)) and related templates with ((cathead on road)), which I created today and explains that the category is for buildings, structures etc on a road, and thus why the categories are subcats of Category:Buildings and structures on roads in Western Australia, itself a subcat of Category:Buildings and structures in Western Australia. - Evad37 [talk] 06:30, 8 May 2014 (UTC)
One obvious problem is whether (as suggested by WP:EPONYMOUS) the article itself is a member of the eponymous category.Looking through the guideline again, it is quite clear that if they are eponymous categories (as the current names suggest), then the article which each category covers should be in that category. If not, then categories should be renamed/redirected so its clear they are not eponymous categories, eg XYZ Road → Buildings and structures on XYZ road. However, a pragmatic benefit of having the roads in the cats is better navigation, so readers can find the cats from the road articles.
Is a road "a building, structure or other feature on" itself?I would say actually no, its not, but leave the articles in the cats per WP:EPONYMOUS – unless the cats are renamed per the previous point above, in which remove them from the cats. But WP:SUBCAT does allow for "possibly a few exceptions", so does the ((cathead on road)) hatnote actually need to be changed, in anycase?
By extension, Category:Buildings and structures on roads in Western Australia should probably be renamed (for example) Category:Roads in Western Australia and buildings and structures thereon. If a road is a structure (see below), then it doesn't matter that sub-sub-categories of Buildings and structures in Western Australia contains roads, which would seem to go against your renaming argument. (In contrast, a building is very definitely not a road, which is why these categories can't be subcategories of Roads in Western Australia)
this category should not be a container category...Perhaps it would be better to keep it as a container category, and have "in region" subcategories (ie, Category:Buildings and structures on roads in the Wheatbelt region of Western Australia) for that purpose? But on the other hand, that might be peeking into a can of worms, given how many different definitions of regions there are.
Is a road a "structure", for the purposes of "Category:Buildings and structures in Western Australia?Well, we do have the category tree Buildings and structures in Australia → Infrastructure in Australia → Transport infrastructure in Australia → Roads in Australia. Nonbuilding structure lists road as a type, and infrastructure "is basic physical and organizational structures needed for the operation of a society or enterprise". So that's three points in favour of a road being a type of structure.
Would we be better using diffusing categories, eg Category:Buildings and structures in Western Australia by street– not quite sure what you're getting at (aren't the current categories already diffusing their parent cat?), are you proposing to rename Category:Buildings and structures on roads in Western Australia → Category:Buildings and structures in Western Australia by street, and each Category:XYZ Road → Category:Buildings and structures on XYZ Road ? (or have I missed the point..?) - Evad37 [talk] 18:43, 10 May 2014 (UTC)
The "problems" as I see them at the moment are:
Mitch Ames (talk) 14:00, 14 May 2014 (UTC)
"Do we really need a category that includes all the structures that are on roads but excludes those that are not on roads"– that's not really the purpose of the cat. It was actually intended to be more of a metacategory, breaking down buildings and structures by the road they are on, rather than by type (airport, hospital, etc) or location (city/suburb/town/locality/region).
"... a category that includes all the structures that are on roads but excludes those that are not on roads" [is] not really the purpose of the cat. It was actually intended to be more of a metacategory, breaking down buildings and structures by the road they are on...
One fundamental point that hasn't yet been considered is whether the Something Street categories should actually exist in the first place. In particular, is the street a building is on a WP:DEFINING characteristic? And is categorising buildings by roads an example of Intersection by location (overcategorisation)? - Evad37 [talk] 06:05, 15 May 2014 (UTC)
Input from other editors would be helpful. There may be merit in raising this issue somewhere with more visibility and/or more interested watchers, such as WT:AURD. (I have no objections to the entire section being moved, to keep everything in one place.) Mitch Ames (talk) 08:41, 17 May 2014 (UTC)

While I am more than happy with this evaluation, I am a little confused how said article can be rated C, while the Brighton Bypass is rated as a starter.

In relation to the issues raised in relation to the Cooper Developmental Road and the Bullo Developmental Road, what sort of technology is available to try to produce the maps etc. For example, the Qld Globe KML file is available under CC-BY licensing at no cost and presumably contains every major road under the control of the Queensland Govt, but I'm not sure what tools are available to work with it to create maps and extract portions of it as KML files(I normally just use it within Google Earth to view the information). Apart from roads, I would be quite interested to produce maps of other things like local government boundaries and localities within LGA boundaries etc, so wouldn't mind learning how to do more along these lines.

This is a note to let the main editors of Great Eastern Highway know that the article will be appearing as today's featured article on June 14 16, 2014. If this article needs any attention or maintenance, it would be preferable if that could be done before its appearance on the Main Page. If you prefer that the article appear as TFA on a different date, or not at present, please ask Bencherlite (talk · contribs). You can view the TFA blurb at Wikipedia:Today's featured article/June 16, 2014. If it needs tweaking, or if it needs rewording to match improvements to the article between now and its main page appearance, please edit it, following the instructions at Wikipedia:Today's featured article/requests/instructions. The blurb as it stands now is below:
Great Eastern Highway is a 590-kilometre-long (370 mi) road linking the Western Australian capital of Perth with the city of Kalgoorlie. A key route for vehicles accessing the eastern Wheatbelt and the Goldfields, it is the western portion of the main road link between Perth and the eastern states of Australia. The highway forms the majority of National Highway 94, with various segments included in other road routes. The highway was created in the 1930s from an existing system of roads linking Perth with the Goldfields, though the name was coined to describe a different route from Perth to Guildford (modern-day Guildford Road). The Belmont section was constructed in 1867 using convict labour, with the road base made from sections of tree trunks. Over the years the road has been upgraded, with the whole highway sealed by 1953, segments reconstructed and widened, dual carriageways created in Perth and Kalgoorlie, and grade separated interchanges built at major intersections. A number of bypasses have been constructed, including Great Eastern Highway Bypass in Perth, and a future route to replace Great Eastern Highway's current ascent of the Darling Scarp has been identified. (Full article...)
You (and your talk-page stalkers) may also be interested to hear that there have been some changes at the TFA requests page recently. Nominators no longer need to calculate how many "points" an article has, the instructions have been simplified, and there's a new nomination system using templates based on those used for DYK suggestions. Please consider nominating another article, or commenting on an existing nomination, and leaving some feedback on your experience. Thank you. UcuchaBot (talk) 23:01, 24 May 2014 (UTC)

Have created a draft article - List of lanes and arcades in Perth. Wanted some feedback as to what categories I should include e.g. Category: Roads in Western Australia ? Given that it is not 'a' road but a list of lanes & roads. Also would like to use the City of Perth's map of the Laneways but its potentially subject to copyright, since its your area of expertise how do we go about preparing a non copyright version.

On 13 June 2014, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Avro Anson Memorial, which you recently created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that in the early 1980s, a team of surveyors discovered the World War II-era Avro Anson Memorial near Clackline, Western Australia, which had been overgrown by shrubs and trees? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Avro Anson Memorial. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, live views, daily totals), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000.

Greetings Evad37 once again! I've assessed former TAFI article Stir frying using the new & updated template. Some things to note are there's no B6 field so that should be removed and lastly the "Post-improvement Class checklist" still lists the old class rather than the latest revised one. One recommendation is to put the "This article was improved from Stub-Class to C-Class" thing with the arrow towards the centre of the template. Best, ///EuroCarGT 05:23, 17 August 2014 (UTC)

Hi Evad: I'm not sure it's necessary to include all of the shortcuts in the tabbed header. The shortcuts are usually just placed on the individual pages. I think the shortcuts clutter the tabs to the point that people may skip over them due to being rather complex to read. This isn't a criticism of your work, just how I perceive the tabs with the additions you made. NorthAmerica1000 03:11, 15 September 2014 (UTC)
I made a comment here but it might go unnoticed. I think if there are no objections by Saturday, we should start dropping noms with less than 4 points, and add that to the weekly blurb. --NickPenguin(contribs) 03:28, 16 September 2014 (UTC)

Just FYI, I added an ((Unapproved)) template to the WordPress.com entry at WP:TAFIN (after almost a month, and with two opposes and only one support, unlikely to be approved). So, this can be used as a test to ensure that entries are being properly archived. Also, once the bot automatically creates the year/month page, requesting that you please add a link to the September 2014–present section at Wikipedia:Today's articles for improvement/Nominated articles/Archives. Since you appear to know the formatting for where the new page will be created, it will make it easier for everyone. From there, as new pages are created by the bot, they can be added to the nomination archive index page.
Also, thanks for all of your work at TAFI. I have worked to improve a significant number of articles on Wikipedia, and it's nice to have the TAFI project to actually collaborate with people that are interested in doing so.

Hello Evad37. This message is part of a mass mailing to people who appear active in reviewing articles for creation submissions. First of all, thank you for taking part in this important work! I'm sorry this message is a form letter – it really was the only way I could think of to covey the issue economically. Of course, this also means that I have not looked to see whether the matter is applicable to you in particular.
The issue is in rather large numbers of copyright violations ("copyvios") making their way through AfC reviews without being detected (even when easy to check, and even when hallmarks of copyvios in the text that should have invited a check, were glaring). A second issue is the correct method of dealing with them when discovered.
If you don't do so already, I'd like to ask for your to help with this problem by taking on the practice of performing a copyvio check as the first step in any AfC review. The most basic method is to simply copy a unique but small portion of text from the draft body and run it through a search engine in quotation marks. Trying this from two different paragraphs is recommended. (If you have any question about whether the text was copied from the draft, rather than the other way around (a "backwards copyvio"), the Wayback Machine is very useful for sussing that out.)
If you do find a copyright violation, please do not decline the draft on that basis. Copyright violations need to be dealt with immediately as they may harm those whose content is being used and expose Wikipedia to potential legal liability. If the draft is substantially a copyvio, and there's no non-infringing version to revert to, please mark the page for speedy deletion right away using ((db-g12|url=URL of source)). If there is an assertion of permission, please replace the draft article's content with ((subst:copyvio|url=URL of source)).
Some of the more obvious indicia of a copyvio are use of the first person ("we/our/us..."), phrases like "this site", or apparent artifacts of content written for somewhere else ("top", "go to top", "next page", "click here", use of smartquotes, etc.); inappropriate tone of voice, such as an overly informal tone or a very slanted marketing voice with weasel words; including intellectual property symbols (™,®); and blocks of text being added all at once in a finished form with no misspellings or other errors.
I hope this message finds you well and thanks again you for your efforts in this area. Best regards--Fuhghettaboutit (talk) 02:20, 18 November 2014 (UTC).

Hi Evad, I've been looking at Indigenous Australians which has the template infobox ethnic groups the template has a section that doest fit the purpose for which its being used I was wondering if you could create a new template to replace that section, hopefully it can be nested within or made stand alone. The section I'm talking about is labeled "Regions with significant populations" where as its just list populations by state. I'd like to be able to do both state populations inc a % of total population and a regional/family breakdown ie WA population & Noongar population do think you could help?

... |region1 = ((flag|New South Wales)) |pop1 = 208476 |total1 = 7500600 |region2 = ((flag|Queensland)) |pop2 = 188954 |total2 = 4708500 ...
rendering as something like
New South Wales | 208,476 | (2.78%) |
Queensland | 188,954 | (4.01%) |
– Which could be used as either an embeddable box, or a stand-alone box?
As for regional/family breakdown, would that just require additional rows, so that if |region8=((flag|Western Australia))
, then |region9=• [[Noongar]]
(plus appropriate numbers in the related parameters) which could look something like
Western Australia | 88,270 | (3.44%) |
• Noongar | 28,000 | (1.09%) |
Or if you have something else in mind, can you show me with a wikitable? - Evad37 [talk] 06:15, 24 December 2014 (UTC)
Sorry was looking at ABS data apparently they dont ask for indigenous by country so we have more information available on people from Norway than Noongar people. but if you could do a template for the state stats for now giving %total population that would be great.. I'll need to sort the data being used as whats in the article is from different years before breaking it down to "country" which is more complexe because ABS doesnt use the same boundaries Gnangarra 09:27, 24 December 2014 (UTC)

. The fix for ((infobox ethnic group)) is a little bit hacky, but we should be able to fix that easily enough - Evad37 [talk] 14:03, 24 December 2014 (UTC)

Hello, Evad37,
Your concerns about the above have been addressed. Please visit the DYK nomination to view them, and advise me if you have any other questions about the nomination. Thank you for reviewing DYK nominations.

On 30 December 2014, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Garratt Road Bridge, which you recently created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that Garratt Road Bridge is the longest extant timber bridge in Western Australia? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Garratt Road Bridge. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, live views, daily totals), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page. |
