  Hi Ndiamar! I noticed that you have reverted to restore your preferred version of Portal:Current events several times. The impulse to undo an edit you disagree with is understandable, but I wanted to make sure you're aware that the edit warring policy disallows repeated reversions even if they are justifiable.

All editors are expected to discuss content disputes on article talk pages to try to reach consensus. If you are unable to agree at Portal talk:Current events, please use one of the dispute resolution options to seek input from others. Using this approach instead of reverting can help you avoid getting drawn into an edit war. Thank you. Carter00000 (talk) 15:45, 25 October 2023 (UTC)Reply

2023 Darling Downs fires, which you submitted to Articles for creation, has been created.

Congratulations, and thank you for helping expand the scope of Wikipedia! We hope you will continue making quality contributions.

The article has been assessed as Stub-Class, which is recorded on its talk page. It is commonplace for new articles to start out as stubs and then attain higher grades as they develop over time. You may like to take a look at the grading scheme to see how you can improve the article.

Since you have made at least 10 edits over more than four days, you can now create articles yourself without posting a request. However, you may continue submitting work to Articles for creation if you prefer.

If you have any questions, you are welcome to ask at the help desk. Once you have made at least 10 edits and had an account for at least four days, you will have the option to create articles yourself without posting a request to Articles for creation.

If you would like to help us improve this process, please consider leaving us some feedback.

Thanks again, and happy editing!

Minor edits

edit

Hi, there! I notice that you are marking most of your edits as minor edits. However, the meaning of "minor edit" on Wikipedia is a lot more minor than most new contributors realise. Basically if you add, subtract or change information in a Wikipedia article, it's not minor. Minor edits are fixing spelling and other small copyedits. You can read a longer version of the rules here WP:MINOR. When in any doubt, don't tick "minor". Any questions about this or other things, please feel free to ask me or at the WP:TEAHOUSE (a help service). Kerry (talk) 08:44, 18 December 2023 (UTC)Reply

Okay, thankyou my apologies--Ndiamar (talk) 14:58, 18 December 2023 (UTC)Reply

  Hello, I'm Escape Orbit. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, History of Australia, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so. You can have a look at referencing for beginners. If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Escape Orbit (Talk) 08:57, 20 December 2023 (UTC) I readded Storming of Capital Hill and changed parliament house to Capital Hill, that's it official name. But left off quote of the speaker, I can't find a source that wikipedia will accept for that article for it. Also why did you revert the Mt Isa pictures I made?--Ndiamar (talk) 10:23, 20 December 2023 (UTC)Reply

I'm sorry, what you are saying is unsourced and contrary to what is already on these articles. Please put you case for changing the articles on the relevant talk pages, and please provide some good sources to back up what you are saying. I reverted your change to the picures in the Mt Isla infobox because the format of the template you used made for a messy and spread out info box. What was there before was tidier and compact. So I do not think what you did improved the article. Escape Orbit (Talk) 14:16, 23 December 2023 (UTC)Reply

Updating reference information when changing data

edit

Hello, thanks for your edits to Townsville, but please see my edit summary there. Graham87 (talk) 08:42, 11 May 2024 (UTC)Reply

Hi Graham, do you have to change the date? I thought since it was an existing reference it would still be valid.--Ndiamar (talk) 09:07, 11 May 2024 (UTC)Reply
Yes, you do. The access date shows the date it was last accessed and checked. Graham87 (talk) 15:57, 11 May 2024 (UTC)Reply
