"Unsourced" clarification request

You removed an edit on the Redbank Plains State High School Page [1] stating that the edit was unsourced, could you clarify how you feel that the change is unsourced? I included a citation to the novel and the exact page that the edit referred to, which fits the reliable source requirements [2] Is there something else required? — Preceding unsigned comment added by AuthorAhTea (talk • contribs) 23:22, 8 December 2014 (UTC)

Better source request for File:Harry Seidler with model.jpg

Thanks for your upload to Wikipedia:

• File:Harry Seidler with model.jpg

You provided a source, but it is difficult for other users to examine the copyright status of the image because the source is incomplete. Please consider clarifying the exact source so that the copyright status may be checked more easily. It is best to specify the exact Web page where you found the image, rather than only giving the source domain or the URL of the image file itself. Please update the image description with a URL that will be more helpful to other users in determining the copyright status.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source in a complete manner. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page or me at my talk page. Thank you. Message delivered by Theo's Little Bot (opt-out) 03:09, 16 May 2014 (UTC)

Blackheath

Noting that Harry seidler is still needing a citation
And "please be bold and replace the "Citation needed" template with enough information to locate the source."
I would've thought a link to all the pages would be sufficient. Why haven't you been bold and deleted the un-refed paragraph? --Dave Rave (talk) 13:54, 25 May 2014 (UTC)

Are you talking about File:Harry_Seidler_with_model.jpg and a request for more information? If you are then I don't have any more information to add. I contacted someone at his firm (18 months later I am not sure exactly who this was) letting them know I was from Wikipedia and they gave me permission to use the image they supplied. If I recall correctly there was a short delay while they contacted the photographer for permission. I just noticed that the summary description includes the name Eric Sierins. His attribution might mean its not a generic link to a website as the source. If someone is going to to delete it because they want better source information and don't have it, then it really isn't anything to do with me. I didn't remove the template because it says only to do so if more information is provided. Why did you choose Blackheath as the title for this? - Shiftchange (talk) 21:59, 25 May 2014 (UTC)

https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Blackheath,_New_South_Wales&curid=405043&action=history --Dave Rave (talk) 00:17, 26 May 2014 (UTC)

What you provided is a list of web links not a citation. You didn't provide a unique source of information which supports the preceding statement. The claim has been challenged and still requires a reference. - Shiftchange (talk) 00:36, 26 May 2014 (UTC)

a list of links, 9 on the first page, of which anyone of them would have been sufficient for a citation. Instead of doing a little copy editing, you deleted the lot and left the paragraph vulnerable again to citation deletion. Being bold isn't being negative. --Dave Rave (talk) 01:20, 26 May 2014 (UTC)

You seem significantly concerned about this to take the time to repeat yourself here but not to add a citation to Blackheath, New South Wales. Your attempt to add a citation was undoubtedly inadequate. If you want to make sure Bradman's achievements on the pitch at Blackheath are not removed from the article then you need to provide a citation to a reliable source which supports the claim. That is what every single other editor is required to do. I add citations on an almost daily basis. In fact for every five main space edits of mine I most probably add at least four references. I would never consider adding a bare url for one and never pretend a google search list result is a citation. Nor would I expect another editor to clean up my sloppy contributions. If you must know, I loathe cricket and have no interest in spending time on the matter. - Shiftchange (talk) 05:30, 26 May 2014 (UTC)

Oops, sorry. that article was not meant to exist. I was just testing it in Preview to see how well my automated process was coming along and it seems I accidentally hit Save at some point. It's not yet at a standard to go live so I have blanked it. I have noted the photos you added though for later re-insertion when the article really can go live.

Conrad Gargett

Hi Shiftchange, I'm Brisarch. Also in Brisbane, and I note you have made some contributions to architecture related articles. Being relatively inexperienced on wikipedia I was wondering if you would mind looking at the Conrad Gargett Riddel Ancher Mortlock Woolley article I created. It has had a "WP:PROMOTION" tag placed on it despite my intended rigor with wikipedia protocols. Main focus of article intended to be notable role/history of firm in Brisbane history. Thanks, Brisarch (talk) 00:55, 19 August 2014 (UTC)

Thank you for your prompt review and comments. I will be sure incorporate your suggestions in future refinement of the article. Brisarch (talk) 02:14, 19 August 2014 (UTC)

Photos

Thank you for all your efforts taking photos for Queensland towns and heritage places - it makes so much of a difference to those articles. The Drover's Wife (talk) 04:36, 10 November 2014 (UTC)

My pleasure - still more for city sites and localities to the north of Toowoomba, to be uploaded and added to the pages asap. The Toowoomba run has been successful but I can do better. The auto-focus on the camera isn't getting the best results or else my hands are too shaky. Also since the city was heritage dense and because I had to devote effort to creating new articles for the places we were passing through on the way home I wasn't able to plan a specific route through the inner city, nor read up about each of these sites. If I was more familiar with the sites I would aim for specific features mentioned in the article as well as a general infobox photo. I think Kerry is moving towards Ipswich in the roll-out. Ipwsich is like Toowoomba, a stack of heritage sites near each other. In that case any drive will be passing through places already created so I will not have to do that work. While I enjoy learning about the history of the Darling Downs, sites a closer to home will be significantly more interesting for me to read about. We can them have more photos down the page highlighting architecture and bits and pieces. - Shiftchange (talk) 04:55, 10 November 2014 (UTC)

Did you get the image name right on Tawa, Toowoomba? That...does not look like a house ;) The Drover's Wife (talk) 03:41, 12 November 2014 (UTC)

Thanks for the reminder. - Shiftchange (talk) 04:09, 12 November 2014 (UTC)

Gabbinbar and QHR article reviews

Hey, can you make sure these articles have at a minimum been checked as to whether they're up to date (and preferably have a bit of a lede) before pulling them out of the review category? The Gabbinbar article, amongst other things, currently says it's unoccupied and run-down when a Google search makes clear that it's now a very well maintained function venue. The Drover's Wife (talk) 06:42, 8 December 2014 (UTC)

I wasn't going to do that. I was just checking that the incorporation of text from the Queensland Heritage Register was done to an acceptable level. - Shiftchange (talk) 07:55, 8 December 2014 (UTC)

I think we need to be doing a bit better than this - Kerry is picking up all the basics when she transfers the articles over, and so we can be pretty sure that the basic incorporation of text is going to be fine, but at this point, besides tidying and wikifying the bot text, I see the main point of the review category being to make sure we're not winding up in the long term with a whole bunch of (at times very) outdated articles (which we do have now) - otherwise there's not much point having it.

my notifications and watchlist

It is all explained by seeing your recent eds, I wondered what the ---- was happening for a moment. There were some very very odd parts to the notifications... so few eds in the last 5 years it is very weird seeing you and rangas editing tassie things, more power to you both! we need more work. beware the trogolodytes. JarrahTree 10:33, 8 June 2015 (UTC)

Not weird, just unexpected. Most of my editing is now on Queensland-related articles but if I see a major problem or omission elsewhere I will tend to it. Yes, many of the Tasmania articles are rough around the edges. Parliament of Tasmania is particularly poorly but so is the fact that we have a cleanup backlog going back nearly 9 years. - Shiftchange (talk) 19:32, 8 June 2015 (UTC)

Mount Archer

It seems Qld has two Mount Archers (as mountains) and two Mount Archers as suburbs/localities. And at the moment they are all somewhat randomly linked by other articles. Should we go with the name Mount Archer, Queensland (Somerset Region) and Mount Archer, Queensland (Rockhampton Region) to adequately disambiguate each pair of locality and mountain? I am not sure we have enough material on any of them to split the locality and mountain at this point. Your thoughts? Kerry (talk) 01:43, 8 August 2015 (UTC)

I think you have it, combine the mountain and locality article. Maybe Mount Archer for disambiguation, Mount Archer, Queensland (Somerset Region) for the locality and mountain, Mount Archer, Queensland (Rockhampton Region) for the locality and mountain and Mount Archer National Park as it is. I've never been sure if its correct to use that method but it aligns with how you have done it the past. - Shiftchange (talk) 04:12, 8 August 2015 (UTC)

I didn't notice the national park article, but yes, I think it's fine as is. I'll start implementing the rest. Kerry (talk) 08:31, 8 August 2015 (UTC)

I think I have implemented it and tidied up all the links to point to the correct one, set up a disambig page, etc. Let me know if I've missed something or fix it yourself. Thanks Kerry (talk) 21:57, 8 August 2015 (UTC)

List of G:link stations

Hi Swiftchange. I noticed a recent edit you made to List of G:link stations. You added 1 wikilink to Cavill Avenue but that article covers the pedestrian mall and not the G:link station. Could you please explain why you added the wikilink? Should I also add wikilinks to Gold Coast University Hospital, Griffith University and Broadwater Parklands? Should I also add wikilinks to Southport, Southport South, Main Beach, Surfers Paradise North, Surfers Paradise, Broadbeach North and Broadbeach South?

Hi Swiftchange, I have removed the attractions and the wikilink Cavill Avenue from the List of G:link stations article. I have instead created a new Route section within the main G:link article which details the line, its stops and the attractions served.

>>Brick at Winton article

Shiftchange, you obviously haven't given the "intricate detail" in the history section of the Winton, Queensland article very much thought. All together, it does paint a very clear picture of a place that not many people in the world are highly likely ever to see, and how it came to be the way it is now. By the way, I spent quite a bit of time and effort trying to plough up from old newspapers in the NLA's Trove any scrap of Winton's history. That wasn't easy, but I wanted to make the town's history as complete as it could be. Now, Winton is quite an historic place for a little town in Central West Queensland. In the early days, when Robert Allen, William Henry Corfield, Robert Fitzmaurice and Thomas Lynett showed up to found the place, the new town's (if it could even have been called one back then) direction was changed by almost every newcomer who showed up. Bear in mind, too, that Winton is a little town even now, and so its history is bound to hinge on events that would seem unimportant to somebody living in a big place like Brisbane. Perhaps you've never lived in a small town? Perhaps if you did, you didn't care much about its history? I can understand that some people might not be interested in Australia's pioneering history, and so it matters little to them that the artesian bore was completed in 1896, but of course, that was a huge event in the town itself, even if it was long ago, far away, and of little consequence to a Canadian on the other side of the world who has never even seen the town (I mean me). What is your reason for believing that the history "may only interest a specific audience"? It's a general history of a little town, about the people, economic activity, politics, events, milestones, disasters, and so on and so on and so on. It doesn't dwell on any particular aspect of Winton's history that would only interest certain readers who wanted to know about the town's past, and it is arranged in straightforward chronological order – I was most careful about that – linked where possible to other events in Australia and the world. The "intricate detail" is what a town's history is all about. I would actually like to expand it, not shrink it, if only I could find out more about Winton's history.

Could you please state your whys and wherefores for placing that brick in the article on the article's Talk page, please? Thank you. Kelisi (talk) 06:22, 18 September 2016 (UTC)

Meaning of {{Wiki | class = Start vs. C | |importance=low|USGov=yes|USGov-importance=}}

What's the meaning of {{WikiProject United States|class=Start|importance=low|USGov=yes|USGov-importance=}}, and how does that change when "Start" is replaced by "C", as you just did on Talk:Voter suppression in the United States?

Also, how can I find information on what this means?

Thirdly, what can be done to make it easier to find such information?

I've averaged close to one edit per day since 2010, and I still don't know how to find things like this.

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. BeenAroundAWhile (talk) 08:32, 26 January 2017 (UTC)

it might not seem clear

but I was trying to segment big groups of coal mines and coal mining articles across australia

but get held up by dicky computer and a few other things

the reasoning (in case it doesnt show) with text in the main space explaining

is x mines in y state - mines; all other things to do with x mining - mining.

It probably isnt so clear at the moment as i am not even half way through the first few of qld coal mines...

it probably all looks a mess - but in the end it will make sense. JarrahTree 01:08, 11 March 2017 (UTC)

the ultimate goal is to get mines out of the amorphous mines - into either/and type - copper etc, and also region -

as it is mines in q...

and for rest of oz - each state - i think it is long past x mines in oz JarrahTree 01:59, 11 March 2017 (UTC)

Yeppers. Go for it. Good job. Some mines lack location (or lga or region), establishment year and type (surface mine, undergroup) categories as well. - Shiftchange (talk) 02:29, 11 March 2017 (UTC)

thanks so much for your help - and yes where there is insufficient info re where/etc perhaps that raises other questions as to the veracity of the article... JarrahTree 05:52, 11 March 2017 (UTC)

Because of global heating all these thermal coal mines are going to have to close much quicker than their mining lifecycle forecast. These stranded assets will create some controversy over the next decade so the importance of these articles will increase. I suspect the coal mine shutdown will occur around 2030. It just disgusts me that the state with the most national parks has the most mines and so much electricity generated by coal and then abominations like the Carmichael coal mine. - Shiftchange (talk) 06:02, 11 March 2017 (UTC)

just as a btw - we have lost some eds in last 18 months or so who were good keeping up with mines and things arts - just simple maintenance and updating of arts seems to be a lost skill in the oz project JarrahTree 06:19, 11 March 2017 (UTC)

Yes. I see it in the lack of regulars in my watchlist. WikiProject Queensland's cleanup template rate has declined from a rate of 30% to 20%, however that is probably mostly attributed to the WikiProject Queensland's expansion by Kerry's 1,000+ QHR articles. You do know the masses are never coming to help? I think its just a continuation of the decline in WikiProject Australia from its 2007 peak. Its just such a large country with so few editors. Poor governance from Wikimedia Australia doesn't help. Kerry's failed conference may fostered some cohesion but it was rejected. Also the WikiProject activity hasn't distributed to state or city projects as far as I can tell. My watchlist has blown out so I can't keep as good as eye on articles as I used to either. Some tasks can so be time-consuming now so much of the long hanging fruit work is gone. My edit rate is declining on a yearly basis but I ain't going anywhere. How about yourself? As the core group of Australian editors declines from the thousands to the hundreds (or fewer) are you going to be here? - Shiftchange (talk) 07:11, 11 March 2017 (UTC)

Proposal for a page

Dear Shiftchange,

As previously you have contributed to Wikipedia in regards to financial articles, would you, please, consider writing an article on Creamfinance? It is a global financial services company that provides personal finance products in emerging markets. The company was ranked as the second fastest-growing company in Europe in 2016. Creamfinance is employing over 220 people and operating in 7 countries both within and outside of Europe – Latvia, Poland, Czech Republic, Georgia, Denmark and Mexico with an IT office in Austria.

I believe it corresponds to the Wikipedia notability rules as it has been talked about in legitimate third party sources:

If you wish I have put together a first draft for the page and can send it you.

According to Wikipedia guidelines I want to underline that I am a Project Manager at Golin Riga and I have been approached by Creamfinance to help with their representation on Wikipedia.

Thank you for the request. I would not be interested in helping you or a financial services company with their "representation on Wikipedia". As others have suggested just draft an article yourself and follow up on the response after creation or submission. - Shiftchange (talk) 00:02, 28 April 2017 (UTC)

Bob Katter - baby or the bathwater

I think you went a bit too far with your cleanup of Bob Katter. I agree the quote about indigenous housing was over-long and the one about the croco-roaches was just plain confusing. But you removed a number of citations as part of the process for what appears to be no reason, leaving some content uncited. And I can't see the reason to remove a number of the smaller quotes which provide more insight into his point of view on a range of topics, egg throwing, family maintenance payments, same sex marriage etc. While I don't personally agree with the language he uses to express this views, I think the reader is entitled to know how he speaks on issues. I think it gives the reader a good insight into Katter when they read quotes about "little slanty-eyed ideologues". Whether the reader will love him or loathe him after reading them is a matter for the reader decide, but let's put the information on the table for the reader, not sanitise it. Kerry (talk) 00:32, 29 September 2017 (UTC)

Please, its fine. Its not appropriate to repeat the racial slur, just note it. His expressions don't explain him, we must. Dog-whistle politics should be explored. No political messaging. No pet views. No vehicles for propaganda, especially on article about a person like Katter. - Shiftchange (talk) 02:26, 29 September 2017 (UTC)

You have been blocked temporarily from editing for abuse of editing privileges. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions.

If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, please read the guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text below the block notice on your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}.  Euryalus (talk) 01:27, 10 December 2017 (UTC)

Have blocked this account for two weeks for the reasons outlined here I admire the zeal for neutrality in political articles, but the community has rightly clear it's tired of the unsupported accusations that accompany it. By all means resume editing political articles when you return, but try to tone down both the inflammatory rhetoric (eg. "propaganda") and the unsupported claims (eg. undisclosed paid editing, sockpuppetry). In passing I don't like templating regulars, but have included the one above because it provides a useful link to appeal options, if required. -- Euryalus (talk) 01:27, 10 December 2017 (UTC)

Could you please provide one example of a promotional edit made by me on Bitcoin Cash? Could you then explain how you believe it is promotional. If your explanation is valid my editing will adapt. If not, expect no change. Thanks - Shiftchange (talk) 21:47, 5 April 2018 (UTC)

Answering a question with a question is kind of poor form. I would be happy to discuss specific content, but would you first please disclose if you are part of the Bitcoin Cash community, or hold that currency? Thanks. Jytdog (talk) 21:52, 5 April 2018 (UTC)

As I have stated elsewhere on Wikipedia I hold no digital assets. I have no assets whatsoever. I have nothing. Next question. What promotional edits? - Shiftchange (talk) 21:58, 5 April 2018 (UTC)

Thanks. That is half the question. As I am sure you are aware most crytocurrencies are supported by active online communities that seek to develop and apply them. Are you a participant in the community around BitCoin Cash? Thx. Jytdog (talk) 22:13, 5 April 2018 (UTC)

I am interested in the technology. I am not developing anything except Wikipedia and I don't believe in the concept of a cryptocurrency community. I have mostly left WikiProject Australia because it is overrun by a small cabal of paid editors. If you check my contributions over the last six months you would see I am staunchly against paid agenda-based editing. At the same time I do not want my Wikipedia editing skills to deteriorate so I turn to a very interesting technology. This process began about 18 months ago, well before BCH even existed. I fleshed out Bitcoin Core and worked on blockchain. I build, not promote. How ironic is it that I get accused of promotional edits after discovering a major Australian editor is paid. I wouldn't know how to promote anything because I hate that shit. I am describing and explaining as best I can because I see the disinformation campaign against the integrity of BCH. - Shiftchange (talk) 22:28, 5 April 2018 (UTC)

I don't know what "I don't believe in the concept of a cryptocurrency community" means; this is just kooky as there are avid online communities supporting many of these.

That said I hear you when you say you are not participating in them and I hear you when you say that you don't own any.

Thanks for working through that. This just leaves advocacy to explain your approach to the article (please do read WP:ADVOCACY if you never have).

I left a note at the Bitcoin cash page about your edits.

Your enthusiasm for this currency can be self-managed if you rely on high quality independent sources and focus on information of enduring value, not on recording blow by blow stuff as though WP were a blog or a newspaper. Please try not to "sell" how great it is or how much it is being adopted. Thanks. Jytdog (talk) 22:57, 5 April 2018 (UTC)

An online forum or two does not create a "community". I am just explaining how BCH is better at payments than BTC. Its why BCH is so accepted after 8 months and eventually why most people will support BCH over BTC. Its why this article will be improving in the ways I want. Your attempt to discredit, trivialise or delegitimize my additions will fail. Have you made any related disclosures? - Shiftchange (talk) 16:18, 8 April 2018 (UTC)

I again am deleting your content today that has been removed myself Jytdog (talk · contribs) and others many times already on the Bitcoin Cash article. It appears to me that your constant re-adding of poorly sourced promotional content is edit warring and/or certainly WP:TE. Please stop it. Things like this quote box of roger ver, adding unsourced content, the comparisons of why bitcoin cash is better, the youtube videos, the huge number of posts on the talk page where you advocate for some position, is all quite beyond the scope of editing wikipedia. I am a bit at a loss of what to do. Thanks! Jtbobwaysf (talk) 15:55, 14 April 2018 (UTC)

There are no reasons to remove the content I add. Why can't the quote stay? Ver is one of the first investors in Bitcoin. He has one of the highest profiles in the field. It is therefore appropriate for our readers to understand his view. Comparisons between like things on Wikipedia are very good. We have tables on list pages that do exactly that. There is no rule against including videos on our pages. I am not advocating for any position other than including knowledge about Bitcoin Cash on this page. None of it is beyond the scope of editing Wikipedia. I have no idea what makes you say "beyond the scope of Wikipedia". What you need to do is edit a wider range of articles so you understand the editing process better. - Shiftchange (talk) 16:16, 14 April 2018 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Bitcoin Unlimited

The article Bitcoin Unlimited has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

notability not established for yet another Bitcoin fork featured only as a minor subject in articles on the various debates within the Bitcoin community. We already deleted the articles Bitcoin XT and Bitcoin Classic and merged them, but they were more important. I don't think there is anything to merge from here.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages 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 page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist.

Invitation to participate in a research

Hello,

The Wikimedia Foundation is conducting a survey of Wikipedians to better understand what draws administrators to contribute to Wikipedia, and what affects administrator retention. We will use this research to improve experiences for Wikipedians, and address common problems and needs. We have identified you as a good candidate for this research, and would greatly appreciate your participation in this anonymous survey.

You do not have to be an Administrator to participate.

The survey should take around 10-15 minutes to complete. You may read more about the study on its Meta page and view its privacy statement .

Please find our contact on the project Meta page if you have any questions or concerns.

Kind Regards,

WMF Research Team
