capitalization of "m" in men's

Following the precedent of all yearly pages in men's college basketball, the m should not be capitalized. If you think that should be changed, changing it on one place is not the way to start. Mjs32193 (talk) 03:57, 20 September 2015 (UTC)

Iraqi insurgency (2011–14)

Thanks to you too. I will always be happy to respond. Then you need more corrections. I hope it will be still a little work to somehow details about templates.--Baba Mica (talk) 03:42, 21 September 2015 (UTC)

Alan Moore (war artist)

Re this - I'd been working on an article in my sandbox for the last day or two.... Mitch Ames (talk) 07:34, 27 September 2015 (UTC)

You have done a complete rewrite. Thank you. Out of five how would you rate my original article? Catmando999 Check out his talk page! 07:37, 27 September 2015 (UTC)

It was evidently still only a stub, so it's not really fair to try to rate it on a scale. Generally what was there was reasonable. There were a few minor style issues, but they would have been trivial to fix. Mitch Ames (talk) 07:44, 27 September 2015 (UTC)
Actually, looking back at your version -- in particular the "Works" paragraph that you re-inserted, and which I merged back into "After the war" -- there was a bit of a problem. The statement that "Moore's paintings were mainly of concentration camps" is not supported by any reference that I could find. As editors, we must be careful that what we write is verifiably true, per
WP:VERIFY
, which is why I removed that statement.
However, you did get get the number of his works ("more than 200"), which I'd missed, so thanks for that. Mitch Ames (talk) 01:41, 28 September 2015 (UTC)
Thank you. I will continue to try to improve the page. Catmando999 Check out his talk page! 01:43, 28 September 2015 (UTC)
OK, but please be sure that your improvements are factually accurate and verifiable. (See my revision comments [1][2] - we need to avoid saying things that are not directly supported by the references. You might want to read
WP:SYN.) Mitch Ames (talk

Disambiguation link notification for September 27

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited

Bergen-Belsen. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject

User categories

I notice that

WP:USERCAT#Categorization says that "User pages and user categories do not belong in mainspace categories", so you should probably remove those categories from your user page. Mitch Ames (talk
) 12:26, 1 October 2015 (UTC)

I removed Category:New South Wales but, for someone reason I am running into difficulty with removing Category:Australia. It might be because it's there from a userbox. Catmando999 Check out his talk page! 22:11, 1 October 2015 (UTC)

Category:Australia was there because my "Australian Patriot" userbox had that category. I have removed that category now.

Charles Herbert Locke

What is happening at Charles Herbert Locke. Why did you call for its deletion? You have made poor edits and added a badly cropped pic. Is this vandalism? Castlemate (talk) 01:49, 3 October 2015 (UTC)

assume good faith rather than suggest vandalism. The deletion request was almost certainly a simple error, which was reverted by Catmando999 himself soon afterwards. As for badly cropped pics - that's what it looks like at the source - fortunately it is easily fixed. Mitch Ames (talk
) 02:21, 3 October 2015 (UTC)
Thanks Mitch. You are right, it was an accident. Thanks for fixing the picture. Catmando999 Check out his talk page! 03:03, 3 October 2015 (UTC)

Wow!!!

Wow, you sure move fast. I changed it because I thought a pic of the scene of the crime was particularly relevant to the article. The image showing the location was also reasonably relevant, so I just moved it down a bit. There's no point being too thin-skinned about things like this. It happens all the time at Wiki. I used to get worked up over these things, but eventually you start to realize that these things happen all the time at Wiki, so you just have to learn to adjust to it. If you really really really can't stand the way the images are arranged, you can always swap them around. I won't revert them.

Sardaka (talk) 08:28, 21 October 2015 (UTC)

Okay. I'm not going to change them. I just thought that the black and white image looked too dramatic. Catmando999 Check out his talk page! 20:20, 21 October 2015 (UTC)

There's a colour version if you prefer that, but personally I think the B&W version is better.Sardaka (talk) 01:12, 22 October 2015 (UTC)

I prefer it as well. Catmando999 Check out his talk page! 03:09, 22 October 2015 (UTC)

Logos

Maybe an option is the green kangaroo (minus the yellow background) with WP:AUSTRALIA underneath (similar to Canada) or the Australian Kangaroo with the Australian flag inserted inside (instead of just plain green or black). Although I do like but with WP:Australia underneath. Dan arndt (talk) 10:00, 26 October 2015 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Henk van de Ven

The article Henk van de Ven has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Notability not established, fails
WP:POLITICIAN

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles 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 article 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. WWGB (talk) 10:32, 26 October 2015 (UTC)

Nomination of Henk van de Ven for deletion

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Henk van de Ven is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Henk van de Ven until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.

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. WWGB (talk) 23:59, 26 October 2015 (UTC)

Hi

Hey there, and a belated welcome. I hope you're enjoying editing, and that you decide to stay - we can always use more enthusiastic people at the Australian project. I came across you at the Hank van de Ven AfD, and though I've gone delete for now, I'm very open to convincing if you can provide the sources. It's usually useful in AfDs to link to as many relevant sources as you can, or include them in the article, as these are your strongest argument against deletion. Remember you want to prove the sources are there, not just assert that they are.

I also just wanted to say that I came across some of your subpages as I was browsing through your contributions (as I often do for new Australian editors I haven't seen before). Some of them, I'm afraid, aren't really appropriate under our user page policy (specifically the ones you've tagged with humour - this, this, this and this - that's all very well, but they still have to be related to Wikipedia in some way, not just random in-jokes). I would gently advise you to find somewhere else to host these - you can always link to them from your userpage if you want to, but Wikipedia is not a host for personal stuff like this.

Anyway, welcome again and do stick around! Frickeg (talk) 11:42, 27 October 2015 (UTC)

GA for Members_of_the_Australian_Senate,_1901–1903??

Not quite sure what you're thinking here. Lists are not eligible for GA. The relevant recognised content is

featured list, but the article doesn't come close to qualifying for that. (It has been a periodic intention of mine to get it there, but it has a long, long way to go.) Might be a good idea to familiarise yourself with the good article criteria before you go nominating any more. :) Frickeg (talk
