Hi, RE your email. Very happy to have the discussion. Would prefer on-wiki unless there is a particular reason not to? — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 09:21, 19 December 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Hi! Found you from some user named Widjono Wahyuni? I would like to tip that said Widjono has been profusingly deleting citations regarding the Malaysian use of the kris, even though the citations are valid from resources like the Malaysian Foreign Ministry and Reuters. It is suspected that Widjono is warring on the basis of nativism or anti-Malaysia nationalism as shown from inclination towards entries related to nationalistic imagery like it, Nusantara (term) et cetera. Oh, and his profile has nothing but the Indonesian flag and arms flexing emoji in it. You might need to look into that problem.

Contest results

And so ends the fourth edition of the monthly rolling contest, as well as the 2023 Tree of Life Contest as a whole. This month saw simongraham win with a very impressive 120 points from 27 articles. Quetzal1964 was second with 74 points from 37 articles. The annual contest was a close race between simongraham and Quetzal1964; simongraham won first place with 256 points from 64 articles, and Quetzal1964 was second with 250 points from 146 articles. Snoteleks was third with 79 points from 33 articles. Congratulations to everyone who won this year and my gratitude to everyone else who helped raise the quality of articles in our little corner of Wikipedia this year. Additionally, a very Happy New Year to everyone in the project and here's looking forward to continuing our good work in 2024!

Thanks for adding the Talk Page templates to the new book/author pages that I have been producing. I'm never too sure whether I should be adding them or not. In the first place it seems like it is a part of the main page and should be added at the same time, and on the other it seems to include an initial assessment of the main page's standing in the overall Australian literature project, and therefore should be done by someone separate.

Is there a standard policy on this? Perry Middlemiss (talk) 21:25, 1 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Category:Harbourmasters of Australia has been nominated for renaming. A discussion is taking place to decide whether this proposal complies with the categorization guidelines. If you would like to participate in the discussion, you are invited to add your comments at the category's entry on the categories for discussion page. Thank you.

The page still needs more work and I'll get to it when I can but, of course, it's a fair way down the list.

Actually I don't keep such a list. I think if I did then I'd be too daunted by the numbers on it that I wouldn't do anything. Perry Middlemiss (talk) 21:22, 9 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
