WP:CRIQ

Neither the person who gave the right answer to the last question (Q215), nor the person who set the question, is around to set a new question. As the setter of the the previous question, I think the honour falls to you :) -- ALoan (Talk) 10:13, 4 July 2006 (UTC)

Wow

You must have the cleanest talk page I have seen in ages - you must keep quiet or out of trouble! I was thinking of loading a list of named surfing locations for that stretch of coast - what do you think ?SatuSuro 22:54, 16 November 2006 (UTC)

I'm guessing you're referring to the stretch of coast between Capes Naturaliste and Leeuwin? IMO you might have some trouble getting a detailed list of surfing locations in the Margaret Bay region past those that follow WP:NOT#INDISCRIMINATE. Perhaps a list of that nature would be better suited to Wikitravel?

And yes, I'm a very good boy. :-) QazPlm 03:57, 17 November 2006 (UTC)

My argument would go as follows - (a) Margaret River is the 'centre' of the south westsurfing area - in my sandbox (cluttered with junk) I do have the start of a list - (b) the region has a considerable economic and social impact from the particular sport - and notability alone would quietly sit heavily on any attempt at indicriminat tag for sure. My apologies for spoiling your talk page - I think you should get a prize or something? A messy barnstart perhaps?SatuSuro 04:03, 17 November 2006 (UTC) But because of complicated scattered edit range ( I am envious of cricket focused editors) probably wont start it for a while.

Palm Island, Queensland ACOTF

Hi QazPlm, I notice that you have made positive contributions in the past to the Palm Island, Queensland article and the Great Palm Island Group template and you obviously have a huge amount of experience in WikiProject Australia. It would be great if you could help out with this two week project, I have created a to do list to get things started, your suggestions here and involvement generally would be hugely appreciated. Thanks! WikiTownsvillian 07:10, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of Daydream Island

A tag has been placed on Daydream Island, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article seems to be blatant advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read our the guidelines on spam as well as the Wikipedia:Business' FAQ for more information.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the article (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Unreferenced BLPs

Hello QazPlm! Thank you for your contributions. I am a bot alerting you that 2 of the articles that you created are tagged as Unreferenced Biographies of Living Persons. The biographies of living persons policy requires that all personal or potentially controversial information be sourced. In addition, to insure verifiability, all biographies should be based on reliable sources. if you were to bring these articles up to standards, it would greatly help us with the current 339 article backlog. Once the articles are adequately referenced, please remove the {{unreferencedBLP}} tag. Here is the list:

1. Vince Colosimo - Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL

ArbCom elections are now open!

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

New Challenge for Oceania and Australia

Hi, Wikipedia:WikiProject Oceania/The 10,000 Challenge and Wikipedia:WikiProject Australia/The 5000 Challenge are up and running based on Wikipedia:The 10,000 Challenge which has currently produced over 2300 article improvements and creations. The Australia challenge would feed into the wider region one and potentially New Zealand could have a smaller challenge too. The main goal is content improvement, tackling stale old stubs and important content and improving sourcing/making more consistent but new articles are also welcome if sourced. I understand that this is a big goal for regular editors, especially being summertime where you are, but if you'd like to see large scale quality improvements happening for Oceania and Australia like The Africa Destubathon, which has produced over 1700 articles in 5 weeks, sign up on the page. The idea will be an ongoing national editathon/challenge for the region but fuelled by a series of contests to really get articles on every province and subject mass improved. The Africa contest scaled worldwide would naturally provide great benefits to Oceania countries, particularly Australia and attract new editors. I would like some support from existing editors here to get the Challenges off to a start with some articles to make doing a Destubathon worthwhile and potentially bring about hundreds of improvements in a few weeks through a contest!
