The article North Dundas has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
North East Dundas Tramway != North Dundas, therefore the Ontario municipality should be at this page
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. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Whack! You've been whacked with a wet trout. Don't take this too seriously. Someone just wants to let you know that you did something silly. |
Generally welcoming new comers is a good thing, but what were you thinking a couple of years ago when you didn't at least suggest this person request a username change? Regardless of how anyone feels about cops (and anyone who doesn't think at least some of them in this world are worthy of criticism have their head in the sand), promoting violence is a blatant violation of WP:ATTACKNAME.

From the Set Index page:
Set indexes and disambiguation
Shortcuts
WP:SETNOTDAB WP:SIANOTDAB
A set index article is not a disambiguation page:
A disambiguation page is a list of things (possibly of different types), that share the same name (or similar names). It is formatted for best helping the reader in navigating to topic being sought.
A set index article (or SIA) lists things only of one type,
and is meant to provide not only navigation,
but information as well.
Just as with a typical list article, it may have metadata and other extra information about any of its entries.
An SIA need not follow the formatting rules for disambiguation pages; - see more at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Set_index_articles

Premature assessment[edit]
I noted to my distress that you already assessed Commissioners-General of the Dutch East Indies whereas I had emphatically asked on the talk-page of this article to postpone assessment until I had finished writing it. Why this undue haste? It is clear from not only my postings on the talk page, but also from the fact that the section Aftermath is still empty (a good reason to use start class by the way) that the article is still unfinished. So I have really to protest. This is very unfair. Please undo the assessment. Ereunetes (talk) 21:37, 23 March 2023 (UTC)
- If you really want to try to do something useful in the field of assessment, I'd like to recommend the assessment of Patriottentijd as "start class" that dates from 18 august 2011(!!!!) for the WikiProject Netherlands. That is long before I rewrote the article in 2018 (see the talk page) Just saying. Ereunetes (talk) 23:55, 23 March 2023 (UTC)
- Thanks for your reply on my talkpage. I'll undo the assessment on the talk-page of Commissioners-General of the Dutch East Indies then. Ereunetes (talk) 18:52, 24 March 2023 (UTC)
- I have more or less finished Commissioners-General of the Dutch East Indies and put a ? in the class assessments on the talk page. So Assess Away, as far as I am concerned. I reserve the right to tinker a bit (maybe add a few references and illustrations), but nothing major, unless you have suggestions Ereunetes (talk) 01:01, 3 April 2023 (UTC)

ReferenceExpander[edit]
Just a friendly heads-up in case you weren't already aware, since it's installed on your common.js: Careless use of ReferenceExpander has caused serious problems. It's currently at MFD, and a large cleanup project is underway to repair the citations damaged by the script. I and several other users have !voted that the script be deleted or disabled, and I wouldn't recommend using it at all unless you thoroughly check every reference it modifies against the previous revision. If you're interested in a more detailed explanation of the script's issues, Folly Mox has provided an excellent summary at the MFD. — SamX [talk · contribs] 05:01, 1 June 2023 (UTC)
Oudgastenpartij[edit]
Oudgastenpartij: Finally an assessment I agree with, in the current form it isn't worth more than start-class, if that (stub might be OK too, as far as I am concerned). But I am not finished with it. I was awaiting delivery of a book called "Baren en Oudgasten" by Rob Nieuwenhuys. I finally received it, and it turns out to be a collection of 19th -century photos (daguerrotypes and such) of colonial Netherlands Indies (incidentally, I wonder why we cannot use that name instead of "Dutch East Indies", but that is probably the "oudgast" in me :-) Unfortunately, it is about the Indies after 1870, long after the influence of the party waned. So it is no use as a source. But I'll keep looking to add information. I just need more time. Ereunetes (talk) 16:59, 8 June 2023 (UTC)
- I have added a few more sources, to spruce up the references. Also added a "socio-linguistic" perspective to the term "oudgastenpartij". I think it is now getting in the C-class ball park (as is Dutch States Party, I think, which is also start-class now, but that assessment dates back to 2013, when that article was truly start-class). Ereunetes (talk) 20:13, 8 June 2023 (UTC)
- I know the book you refer to, I used it before and after living in Yogyakarta in the 1990s - it is very interesting visually, and despite my lack of understanding of dutch language materials (after returning to Australia I was permitted to access an item that was mainly in a version of the Nederlands that was not easily translatable, and I was told it was 'Old Dutch' but nothing in the current wikipedia articles about the language suggests that a written version of an older way of writing the material in the 19th century actually exists? I remained and remain ignorant of what was going on there) as for anything else, I know nothing. As for time - there is not time table to editing. JarrahTree 09:19, 9 June 2023 (UTC)
- "Old Dutch" refers to materials that are a lot older than 19th-century Dutch (17th-century at least). Dutch has undergone very extensive orthographic reforms in the 20th century (the grammatical cases were abolished after WWII, except in personal names, and in 1995 we had a major reform of the way compound words need to be spelled), but the older spellings are still intelligible to modern readers. So I don't quite understand what you had presented to you; could you be more specific? Incidentally, if you are interested in Dutch material that is accessible online, the Google Chrome browser has a relatively new feature that allows one to have the non-English text translated "on the hoof" so to speak. Just click somewhere in the page for the focus, and then right-click. A drop-down menu should appear that offers a translation to English. This is useful if you want to read the Dutch biographical-dictionary articles I use as sources for my biographical articles for yourself. I sometimes copy-and-paste those translations, before I paraphrase them to avoid plagiarism. It makes the work a lot more efficient :-) Ereunetes (talk) 20:42, 10 June 2023 (UTC)
- Just as an example: I went to the Dutch Wikipedia version of the Oudgastenpartij article (which I didn't have anything to do with, by the way), had it translated, and this is the result: "= Old guest party =
- Jump to navigationJump to search
- The Oudgasten PARTY was a conservative movement in the Dutch East Indies in the late 18th and early 19th century .
- In the course of the 18th century, the administration of the VOC was increasingly characterized by corruption and nepotism : Almost all members of the Council of the Indies were recruited from the Alting-Siberg family. While the French period in the Netherlands brought a more democratic form of government, the reverse happened in the Dutch East Indies. All administrative positions were given to a narrow circle of relatives, or sold to the highest bidder.
- In 1805, the tampering of Governor-General Joannes Siberg had reached such an extent that he was relieved from his position by the Netherlands.
- His successors, especially Herman Daendels and Thomas Stamford Raffles, tried to reorganize the colony through administrative and economic reforms.
- This meant that those circles of administrators, traders and landowners, who had ruled the roost until then, lost their influence and also deteriorated financially. These "Oudgasten" (that is, old-timers who had been in the Indies for a long time, in contrast to the "Baren", the newcomers, who had only just arrived) tried in every possible way to thwart the reforms. "People do not want the law to rule; fear of the law is the most characteristic feature of the Oudgasten Party" (Van Limburg-Brouwer in De Gids, 1861).
- Joannes Siberg, who had continued to live in Batavia after his dismissal , was the leader of this Oudgasten party."
- So there, you have something to compare my version with :-) Ereunetes (talk) 20:54, 10 June 2023 (UTC)
- "Old Dutch" refers to materials that are a lot older than 19th-century Dutch (17th-century at least). Dutch has undergone very extensive orthographic reforms in the 20th century (the grammatical cases were abolished after WWII, except in personal names, and in 1995 we had a major reform of the way compound words need to be spelled), but the older spellings are still intelligible to modern readers.

A diffs is better than a version.[edit]
In [2] for example, you linked a specific version:
https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=New_MetroRail&oldid=1159586614
but a diff:
https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=New_MetroRail&diff=prev&oldid=1159586614
would make more sense here. We're interested in the edit, not the state of the page at a particular time. I mention this because you've done it a couple of times now. It ought to be just as easy to copy the diff link as the version link, and it saves the reader a little effort. Mitch Ames (talk) 08:34, 11 June 2023 (UTC)

The first edition of our new monthly contest had perhaps a little less participation than I hoped for, but it still resulted in a huge amount of content work, mainly focussed on de-stubbing articles on little-known species, although we did also see two GAs for Holozoa and Hypericum perforatum. Overall, over 60 articles were improved, with most going from stubs or redlinks to fully fleshed out articles. The winner this month was Simongraham, who improved 21 articles about spiders, mainly to B and C class, and racked up 70 points, over twice the next highest. Hopefully, we'll continue to see such great work next month, with even more participants and even more articles improved.

The article Roadhouses in Australia has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
The article is too short, and the information can fit in the main Roadhouse article.
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. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. Hextor26 (talk) 21:19, 22 October 2023 (UTC)
- @Hextor26: I have objected the PROD, maybe the article should be merged with another? Or if determined to be the WP:PRIMARYTOPIC, perhaps Roadhouse (which is already a disambiguation page) should be moved to Roadhouse (disambiguation), and then this article should be moved there? Fork99 (talk) 21:42, 22 October 2023 (UTC)
- I believe this article should be incorporated into the main Roadhouse (premises) article. As for Roadhouse, it's already a redirect for Roadhouse (disambiguation), so I don't think I know what you mean there. Hextor26 (talk) 22:04, 22 October 2023 (UTC)
- @Hextor26: Well by all means, you can follow the instructions to merge an article outlined at WP:MERGE. You don't have to formally propose a merge if you believe it's uncontroversial, but if you do, you will likely have to complete the merge yourself after 7 days of discussion on the page that will “receive” the merge, per se. If you go down the route of boldly doing the merge, please make sure you follow the instructions on what needs to be in the edit summaries when you copy from one article to another, and when you create a redirect from the original to the merged article. By the way, a deletion would delete the article's history, and make it only accessible to Wikipedia admins. If it were to be merged to another, then the mandatory copyright attribution to the original article would be lost. Fork99 (talk) 22:41, 22 October 2023 (UTC)

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.
A tag has been placed on Mak Erot requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person, a group of people, an individual animal, an organization (band, club, company, etc.), web content, or an organized event that does not credibly indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator.

New newsletter!

Now, this newsletter is technically not new, but I have only recently become aware of its existence and am only a month late, so it still counts. Wikiproject Fungi's Lichen task force has a new newsletter that is very nicely formatted and also features much better writing than this newsletter. Anyone interested in receiving the newsletter can add their name here. |

- I imagine if and when there are stations to which those other regional categories would apply. Oronsay (talk) 22:51, 6 August 2023 (UTC)
- According to AWB there are currently 178 pages that are in both Category:Stations (Australian agriculture) (excluding the Pilbara) and Category:Pastoral leases in Western Australia. Allowing for stations in the Pilbara that are not correctly categorized, there are apparently a lot of stations in regions other than the Pilbara. A quick check (AWB again) finds 33 in Goldfields-Esperance, 44 in Mid West, 34 in Kimberley. Mitch Ames (talk) 01:57, 7 August 2023 (UTC)

EW warnings[edit]
You are not supposed to place an edit-warring notice until an editor has made three reverts. To do otherwise is attempted bullying. Don't warn me again. Skyerise (talk) 10:59, 31 August 2023 (UTC)

New contest!
|
|
This month has seen an incredible amount of activity creating high quality content, with 3 FAs, 3 FACs, and a veritable flood of GAs and GANs, not to mention the FLs and FLCs. To help maintain this high level of activity going forward, WikiProject Tree of Life is starting a new monthly rolling contest, inspired by the contest run by WikiProject Military History. This contest should hopefully help incentivize editors to contribute in ways that are less daunting than writing articles that are GA and FA-quality. Even improving articles from stub to start class, or helping other editors by reviewing their work at GAN, FAC, or FLC, gets you points, with bonus points for articles with especially high page views. Make sure to participate in any way you can, and help improve the 'pedia while having fun and winning Barnstars! |

Copying within Wikipedia[edit]
You did not identify the source of the material in your edit. It appears to be Truck stop. Copying within Wikipedia is acceptable but it must be attributed.
This type of edit does get picked up by Copy Patrol and a good edit summary helps to make sure we don't accidentally revert it. However, for future use, would you note the best practices wording as outlined at Wikipedia:Copying_within_Wikipedia? In particular, linking to the source article and adding the phrase "see that page's history for attribution" helps ensure that proper attribution is preserved.
While best practices are that attribution should be added to the edit summary at the time the edit is made, the linked article on best practices describes the appropriate steps to add attribution after the fact. I hope you will do so.
I've noticed that this guideline is not very well known, even among editors with tens of thousands of edits, so it isn't surprising that I point this out to some veteran editors, but there are some t's that need to be crossed.~~~~ S Philbrick(Talk) 13:03, 4 September 2023 (UTC)
