A cup of tea for you!

Take this tea for refreshment. Your quiet and steady work on NSW newspapers has been noted. Perhaps it is time to remove the "in-training" description from your User Page? Whiteghost.ink (talk) 03:19, 10 September 2013 (UTC)

Ways to improve The Delegate Argus

Hi, I'm Salimfadhley. Scootes81, thanks for creating The Delegate Argus!

I've just tagged the page, using our page curation tools, as having some issues to fix. Please consider adding more sources about what originally made this newspaper notable. It must have had some history prior to it's archival!

The tags can be removed by you or another editor once the issues they mention are addressed. If you have questions, you can leave a comment on my talk page. Or, for more editing help, talk to the volunteers at the Teahouse. Salimfadhley (talk) 02:56, 22 December 2013 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for February 20

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited The Courier (Narrabri), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Tabloid (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). 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.

ArbCom elections are now open!

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
