to the jungle of wikipedia. Its a jungle out there. For your curiosity, might worth looking at my recent contributions to see what might some clues as to what happens. Feel free to query on wiki or off wiki. I inhabit SLWA/SRO regularly, and always am available for coffee and advice. If not, not offended, enjoy the experience!!

common probs:

  • things other than australia-newspaper-stub
  • using parent cat media in western australia with child cat newspapers published.. - parent cats not wanted needed
  • lack of engvar/dmy at top of article
  • very very annoying 'journalism' as a project rather than 'newspapers' - have to live with
  • not wanted: 'list of nsw newspapers' -[1] - ugh - we have broken down into regions and any other size reduction devices for wa - important to implement and let know if you see any areas where items can be kept down in size.. the nsw one is an example of what WP:NOT WP:ABOUT
  • please feel free to make suggestions re content of articles about newspapers - and above all TROVE TROVE TROVE... if you get my gist JarrahTree 00:19, 13 July 2016 (UTC)Reply

redundancy and other things

edit
  • < reference > is an outmoded version of the ref template - current usage is {{reflist}}
  • there are various hangon templates if you are in the middle of creating online and dont like the possibility of others editng while you are trying to complete - when creating a new article
  • always good to get categories in while creating and not leaving till last, some recent changes eds take lack of cats a red rag
