Categorization

Hi. Thanks for helping out with the trade union articles. --Soman (talk) 05:38, 15 September 2011 (UTC)

Hello

Greetings Warrenjs1, I just wanted to let you know that I took a look at your recently created article Federated Millers and Manufacturing Grocers Union--The citations and references seem to abide to Wikipedia's referencing guidelines. It would be great if you could also improve the related article Sarre-Union.

I'm kind of new here myself but let me know if there is any way I can help. Thanks, Jipinghe (talk) 23:54, 21 September 2011 (UTC)

Category:Organisations established in 1901

Hi, I have nominated Category:Organisations established in 1901 and Organisations established in 1901, both of which you created, for deletion. You may have intended to go further with that scheme, but as isolated pages rather than part of a set they do not appear to serve much purpose. – Fayenatic (talk) 19:13, 13 January 2012 (UTC)

hello, I suggested a rename of the former unions cat at Wikipedia:Categories_for_discussion/Log/2013_April_4#Category:Former_trade_unions. --Soman (talk) 07:17, 4 April 2013 (UTC)

Ways to improve Printing and Kindred Industries Union

Hi, I'm Shrikarsan. Warrenjs1, thanks for creating Printing and Kindred Industries Union!

I've just tagged the page, using our page curation tools, as having some issues to fix. Try to add citations

The tags can be removed by you or another editor once the issues they mention are addressed. If you have questions, you can leave a comment on my talk page. Or, for more editing help, talk to the volunteers at the Teahouse. Shrikarsan (talk) 17:57, 31 May 2014 (UTC)

Unions

Thank you so much for your articles on past trade unions - this is a real blackspot on Wikipedia and you're doing a great job. I have to say though - you're teetering precariously on copyright violations by taking text directly from the Australian Trade Union Archives. I know it's difficult when you're summarising text that's already very short, but it would be great if you could put it in your own words lest someone more difficult try to delete it in future. The Drover's Wife (talk) 05:51, 25 December 2014 (UTC)

Great to hear. It's so good to see these getting created - I keep wanting to do the same myself, but I get so confused at the tangle of state and federal unions that I always wind up giving up! The Drover's Wife (talk) 08:24, 26 December 2014 (UTC)

Just wanted to add my appreciation of your work here too. I have always been frustrated by our almost total lack of coverage on former trade unions (even quite significant ones), especially when writing biographies of Labor politicians. It's really great to see someone tackling this problem! Frickeg (talk) 09:36, 26 December 2014 (UTC)

Merger discussion for Ferguson Left

An article that you have been involved in editing, Ferguson Left, has been proposed for merging with another article. If you are interested, please participate in the merger discussion. Thank you. -- Aronzak (talk) 11:22, 25 March 2015 (UTC)

Industrial Union of Marine and Shipbuilding Workers of America

Thank you for creating Industrial Union of Marine and Shipbuilding Workers of America. I had it on my wishlist for quite some time and I just noticed that you created it. Great work and thank you!--TM 12:04, 22 October 2016 (UTC)

BWIU

By the way - if you've got anything to add to the trade union articles I've been creating it'd be much appreciated. Your articles are always fantastic and you've got a bit more information/context at your disposal than I do. The Drover's Wife (talk) 13:01, 10 May 2018 (UTC)

Where did you get your hands on that Huntley book? It seems like it's an extremely useful source and I've never come across a copy. The Drover's Wife (talk) 10:19, 20 July 2018 (UTC)

I've got a copy I bought from Gould's Bookshop in Newtown, Sydney (a great resource for labour history), but I'd say most university/state libraries would have a copy. BTW, thanks for your work on the BWIU and PPWF pages - unions in the CFMEU lineage have been badly lacking up til now.Warrenjs1 (talk) 10:32, 20 July 2018 (UTC)

Ta! Looks like I'm headed for another day in the State Library - it's a shame I can't even find a copy to buy online because it'd be worth the investment. The Drover's Wife (talk) 10:41, 20 July 2018 (UTC)

I've created a short article at Australian Coal and Shale Employees' Federation to fill another one of these big gaps - any chance you could take a look at it? The Drover's Wife (talk) 04:36, 30 July 2018 (UTC)

Moulders

You've done a fantastic job with this - it's so good to see such good quality work on an Australian union article (and on one I'm more interested in, to boot - grandad was an official). It seems like it'd be at least C-class now, and well on the way to GA status. The only gap that stands out is post-1950, but I'm not sure what's out there. The Drover's Wife (talk) 09:38, 27 September 2018 (UTC)

reply

Unions in Australia are a very under-worked area - I would recommend from my side of things is simply the improvement of addition of reliable sources from good sources, and adequate images of things to do with the history of the union you are working on - improving the content and the presentation with encouragement is always worth following up - to get to higher status, I would warn the know nuthinks who review GA and so on leave me totally disinterested in the process. I personally would prefer to create more related articles, as the union history coverage is very poor in the Australian project. I am very opinionated on this subject, and would prefer to refrain from further elaborations at this point. JarrahTree 03:16, 30 September 2018 (UTC)

Organized labour project

Thank you for earlier joining the Organized Labour project. I've been a participant in the project since 2006 and am helping with a revival of it. As part this we are introducing a new membership system, which will help with communications among participants. This involves creating a membership file for each participant within your user space (you can see an example of my membership card here: User:Goldsztajn/WikiProjectCards/WikiProject Organized Labour). This system is already in operation within a number of wikiprojects (such as Women in Red and Medicine). You will not have to do anything, myself or someone else from the project will create the relevant file within your userspace. However, I am conscious that it is not polite to change an editor's userspace without notice. If I don't hear from you in the negative, I will go ahead with making the change after the 18th of January. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me. Many thanks for supporting the project, in solidarity, --Goldsztajn (talk) 13:17, 12 January 2021 (UTC)

Hi, thanks for your efforts on the wikiproject, it is sorely in need of reinvigoration. Please feel free to edit my userspace as necessary. Warrenjs1 (talk) 06:23, 17 January 2021 (UTC)

Took me far longer than I had planned to get to this, but back underway, hoping to get the revival back on track for the northern autumn, southern spring. Regards, Goldsztajn (talk) 04:20, 13 August 2021 (UTC)

Patternmaker (engineering) moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, Patternmaker (engineering), is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.

Australian Telecommunications Employees' Association

Thank you for your quick and phenomenal rewrite of Australian Telecommunications Employees' Association! I wanted to get at least something down but couldn't find much on hand easily, and you've managed to expand it many times over with a bunch of sources. Your work on Australian trade unions has always been invaluable, for what it's worth. The Drover's Wife (talk) 07:26, 17 July 2021 (UTC)

Thanks very much for your kind comments. Australian trade union history is a sadly neglected field on Wikipedia, so it's great to have another person working at it - thanks for your contribution. Still much more to be done! Warrenjs1 (talk) 08:15, 17 July 2021 (UTC)

Thanks! I was part-way putting something short together and then stumbled on that massive source covering the exact topic and then spent the whole day reading it through. Lucky find. The Drover's Wife (talk) 12:18, 24 July 2021 (UTC)

Public Service Board

I was wondering if you might be able to whip up a quick stub for that by any chance? I don't the redirect serves it very well, given that the APSC was a replacement for, not a continuation of, the APSB, with a reduced remit. It's another one of these cases that we've been addressing in existing trade union articles, where amalgamating historical bodies into the article on the current one either a) creates an incoherent mash of history, or b) kinda treats history as if it started somewhere between 1987 and 1992. The Drover's Wife (talk) 04:50, 25 July 2021 (UTC)

I agree, I'll try to address it at some point soon. Cheers, Warrenjs1 (talk) 05:00, 25 July 2021 (UTC)

Ta! I was digging around for something easy to put together but was having limited luck and figured you'd be more likely to have better sources on hand. The Drover's Wife (talk) 05:11, 25 July 2021 (UTC)

Huntley

Random question, but I don't suppose you've got any sort of digital copy of the Huntley book?

I sat in the State Library a couple of years ago and photographed a bunch of pages for future reference because it's such a difficult book to buy, but for some reason I took an extremely random selection of unions, and I've now worked through all the federal unions I had bar one (why I grabbed a bunch of NSW state unions I have no idea). I was hoping to go to the State Library and finish the job, but this lockdown has wrecked that idea. The Drover's Wife (talk) 12:03, 26 August 2021 (UTC)
