Busselton edit

Hey, while expanding the Dunsborough page, I noticed (via Google Translate) your good work on the Dutch Wikipedia regarding Western Australia, and Busselton in particular. I too am on a project to expand the articles about the place and the surrounding area on here, which had been in a very sad state for many years (see my talk page ramblings for more, including a source you might find interesting in case you haven't already seen it). It turns out we've independently been adding the same sorts of things to the Busselton articles (e.g. the art gallery and the butter factory!) Feel free to add text to the English articles too if you like. Also feel free to create articles in the Dutch (or even the English!) Wikipedia about people or places in the area if you think they're needed; see my user page for a list of pages I've created so far. Looking at the Dutch Wikipedia article through Google Translate, it seems very good, though as I mentioned on enwiki the butter factory burnt down and is being rebuilt, and I changed the railway dates to agree with the display at Railway House. Feel free to ask me any questions you might have about Busselton and the area (I live here now so I might be able to help you out if you have any specific requests.

Hello Graham. Thanks for pointing me to the news about the old butter factory. I forgot to watch the page. Normally i do 'watch the page' for all pages I translate so i get warned if something changes and I can change it on the Dutch page if I feel like it. I don't write much on the English wiki because I'm not fluent. It's allready difficult in my own language. And second reason is I've more then enough work in mind putting Western Australia on the Dutch wiki. I need more then one life for that :-). I like it, i never get bored anymore.

Sounds fair enough. Thanks for your fix on the Busselton page here. Happy editing!Graham87 14:19, 18 August 2019 (UTC)Reply
