You were missed

Good to see you editing again JarrahTree 10:28, 4 June 2023 (UTC)

A needed a break, a BIG break. I was asked to make some changes to a couple of wiki pages and that has sort of re-sparked my interest.

So much to do! Perry Middlemiss (talk) 01:26, 5 June 2023 (UTC)

BTW - the method of referencing that I had suggested is stuffed. Your method is the safest for the purposes required, good on you! JarrahTree 04:51, 20 June 2023 (UTC)

I was just sticking with what I could understand! Perry Middlemiss (talk) 05:32, 20 June 2023 (UTC)

In 1938

There was a run of https://trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/99634743?searchTerm=wings%20above%20the%20diamantina items (with very limited explanation at the head of sections) were run - not sure if they are 1936 repeated or not... need a check, if you are able - if that's ok - if it is not, I will try to make a sequence JarrahTree 12:14, 7 June 2023 (UTC)

I can look into it. I'll do another pass over all of the Upfield books over the netx week or so. Perry Middlemiss (talk) 22:53, 7 June 2023 (UTC)

If I was an antiquarian bookdealer (well thats another story) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_Robert_Thatcher#Bibliography - is a frigging nightmare of very rare versus facsimiles, I think I would need more than just a domestic uv test of the paper and the put a page in the light to make up my mind on that lot...

Hi, I apologize that my message above was harsher than it could have been. The issue was that the publisher's synopsis, which is neither in the public domain nor under a suitably free license, was copied directly into the article without any indications that it was a quotation. Thank you for re-adding it in your own words and for the sourced reception, and for your contributions to the project in general. DanCherek (talk) 01:14, 5 July 2023 (UTC)

I think you caught me this morning befoe the coffee had hit in. I deleted my reply. Perry Middlemiss (talk) 02:50, 5 July 2023 (UTC)

Thanks

For coming back your presence is appreciated JarrahTree 00:51, 21 December 2023 (UTC)

No-one else would take me! Cheers, and all the best for your end-of-year celebrations. Perry Middlemiss (talk) 00:59, 21 December 2023 (UTC)

After very poor reading by me at a poets memorial reading the other week, I think the same goes for me - best wishes as well JarrahTree 01:14, 21 December 2023 (UTC)

I dont think so

In answer to your question. I think adding the projects and an assessment is not a problem, the likelihood of others coming in and evaluating is low, and in the end, I think it is better to have a project tag and an assessment (from inside rater there is a device that makes an assessment anyways, albeit from automated thinking) than to leave blank... JarrahTree 00:24, 2 January 2024 (UTC)

Okay, thanks. Perry Middlemiss (talk) 04:06, 2 January 2024 (UTC)

About a decade ago there was sufficient cohort to discuss such issues at the australian/literature talk space - now there is rater - as a means to ease the assessment labours, and inside rater is the ores process that offers what is fundamentally usually the default - low importance - if anyone finds such and wishes to bump items up the slippery slope - they are free to do so - ORES as such is in the process of being phased out - and as soon as the tech geeks are able, I am sure the newer preferred assessment process will be utilised. Until such time - to have https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Evad37/rater/ as a means of doing the talk page is one way to go, if one is interested. JarrahTree 04:34, 2 January 2024 (UTC)

Invitation to join New pages patrol

Hello Perry Middlemiss!

• The New Pages Patrol is currently struggling to keep up with the influx of new articles needing review. We could use a few extra hands to help.
• We think that someone with your activity and experience is very likely to meet the guidelines for granting.
• Reviewing/patrolling a page doesn't take much time, but it requires a strong understanding of Wikipedia’s CSD policy and notability guidelines.
• Kindly read the tutorial before making your decision, and feel free to post on the project talk page with questions.
• If patrolling new pages is something you'd be willing to help out with, please consider applying here.

Thank you for your consideration. We hope to see you around!

Indie Book Awards pages

You may have noticed that I have just moved the two pages relating to Indie Children's books to plaintext "Children's" – i.e. Indie Book Awards Book of the Year – Children's & YA and Indie Book Awards Book of the Year – Children's. I believe I have updated all the relevant links. Oronsay (talk) 03:34, 9 April 2024 (UTC)
