actually, East_Perth_railway_station sadly needs a big update, I am insufficiently refrigerated and about to get off... BOM says 32 for my location it feels hotter. JarrahTree 06:19, 5 February 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Yes it does. The delineation between the Public Transport Centre and the East Perth railway station needs to be sorted out. Steelkamp (talk) 06:25, 5 February 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
And the new structure just north of the traffic control centre is a separate item some time - and what it sits on top of - the former east perth depot( I have hordes of stuff to do with that I can access, in time... ), and then there was also the east perth power station and its curiousity of the short line and loco, and then if you look at the tram system - the connection of the rail and tram system occurred there, and the signal box that was there - and what the newer rail depot is sitting on... almost as interesting as... hmm enough... there's a lot more to it all...

The more I think about it - a layered or multi coloured openstreet map of the area identifying the limits of the historical features of the railway/tramway/buildings etc

Hal Colebatch‎ 23:29 +5,474‎ ‎Steelkamp talk contribs‎ (expanded lead and end)

might need some explanation... JarrahTree 01:59, 7 January 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Explanation: I am working on improving Hal Colebatch towards Good Article status. The first stage is expanding based on Steadfast Knight: A Life of Sir Hal Colebatch, which is almost done. I need to add a section for his political beliefs though. I'm then going to add other sources from Trove and A Political Biography of Sir Hal Colebatch and expand a bit more based on what I can gather there. The final step is to go through and proof read and edit the article. The article will be well over 100,000 bytes at that point. Steelkamp (talk) 04:26, 7 January 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
sheesh - you gotta be very careful - it was revertable when put up - not a ref in sight!!! Take care, thanks for explaining the way you have. JarrahTree 04:48, 7 January 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Well leads don't require sources as long as they are summarising the body, and the body is almost entirely sourced with inline citations. Steelkamp (talk) 04:52, 7 January 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
hahaha - the lead was much bigger than the average australian pollie article - old hal certainly is getting to look larger than ben hur - he was only a premier for a month - JarrahTree 05:46, 7 January 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
btw well done on clearing the 9k edit count - good work! JarrahTree 05:47, 7 January 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Thanks for reminding me!
He was only premier for a month but yet is still significant. Apparently during the 1910s, some described him as the next John Forrest. He managed to close the WA border 101 years before Mark McGowan did. Steelkamp (talk) 09:15, 7 January 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
hmm - there's a lot more to wa politics than what the average punter might know, and the fact that his son wrote his bio is a bit sad - pity there arent more extensive histories of the 1900 - 1930 political era, there's a really problematic era post forrest, that has had even historians of dogged endevour flummoxed as to the array of allegiances and going and toing and froing in the era JarrahTree 09:37, 7 January 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

DYK for Western Australian radioactive capsule incidentEdit

On 20 February 2023, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Western Australian radioactive capsule incident, which you recently nominated. The fact was ... that the search for a lost radioactive capsule along a 1,400-kilometre (870 mi) stretch of road in Western Australia was likened to looking for a needle in a haystack? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Western Australian radioactive capsule incident. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Western Australian radioactive capsule incident), and the hook may be added to the statistics page after its run on the Main Page has completed.

sheeshEdit

one template for all eras - are other states/capital cities with the same multi historical era templates? - could sydney or melbourne cope with the same? or they already have such items? JarrahTree 13:02, 26 February 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

I based the template off Template:Adelaide public transport, Template:Melbourne public transport and Template:Sydney public transport. Those templates are kinda both cases right now. The Sydney template links to Trolleybuses in Sydney and Trams in Sydney but historic operators are not included. I can foresee it being hard to list all of Melbourne's former operators in it's template (that city has had a lot of changes since the 1990s) but I'll talk to the Melbourne editors and see. I think it is a good idea to have historical pages on the template to get move visibility to pages such as Metropolitan Transport Trust. It's not really that difficult with Perth. Steelkamp (talk) 13:15, 26 February 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Thanks so much for that - appreciate your knowledge of other cities - excellent - great work! I understand your point about Perth - rather narrow and less complex ... good work! JarrahTree 13:19, 26 February 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

WikiCup 2023 March newsletterEdit

So ends the first round of the 2023 WikiCup. Everyone with a positive score moved on to Round 2, with 54 contestants qualifying. The top scorers in Round 1 were:

  •   Unlimitedlead with 1205 points, a WikiCup newcomer, led the field with two featured articles on historical figures and several featured article candidate reviews.
  •   Epicgenius was in second place with 789 points; a seasoned WikiCup competitor he specialises in buildings and locations in New York.
  •   FrB.TG was in third place with 625 points, garnered from a featured article on a filmmaker which qualified for an impressive number of bonus points.
  •   TheJoebro64, another WikiCup newcomer, came next with 600 points gained from two featured articles on video games.
  •   Iazyges was in fifth place with 532 points, from two featured articles on classical history.

The top sixteen contestants at the end of Round 1 had all scored over 300 points; these included   LunaEatsTuna,   Thebiguglyalien,   Sammi Brie,   Trainsandotherthings,   Lee Vilenski,   Juxlos,   Unexpectedlydian,   SounderBruce,   Kosack,   BennyOnTheLoose and   PCN02WPS. It was a high-scoring start to the competition.

These contestants, like all the others, now have to start again from scratch. The first round finished on February 26. Remember that any content promoted after that date but before the start of Round 2 can be claimed in Round 2. Some contestants made claims before the new submissions pages were set up, and they will need to resubmit them. Invitations for collaborative writing efforts or any other discussion of potentially interesting work is always welcome on the WikiCup talk page. Remember, if two or more WikiCup competitors have done significant work on an article, all can claim points. If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is at good article candidates, a featured process, or anywhere else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews Needed.

Should Western Australian radioactive capsule incident have a year prefix?Edit

Hi Steelkamp, just wondering, as you have done much work on the article, should Western Australian radioactive capsule incident have a 2023 prefix to distinguish it from the 1978 incident, as detailed in Kambalda Nickel Operations#Open source incident? Also almost 45 years ago, the 1978 seems to have created just as much news back then as the 2023 one, especially as it dragged on much longer. What is your thoughts? Calistemon (talk) 04:32, 14 March 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Hmm. Maybe not. The 1978 incident doesn't mention a capsule; it says the entire density gauge went missing. I think at a minimum a hatnote on Western Australian radioactive capsule incident is necessary but I don't think the page needs to be moved. Steelkamp (talk) 05:27, 14 March 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Cheers, I won't put in a requested move then. Calistemon (talk) 10:56, 14 March 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
I have no idea of the age of the discussants here - the 1978 issue was not as international spread as the recent event, but nevertheless it was very noisy - and even if Bjenks and I might have different perspectives, I am sure that we would agree that the weight of the issue was as notable and important, just for the fyi... JarrahTree 00:39, 15 March 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
My two bobs worth is that the ahistorical nature of the article title is problematic, and indeed not very helpful for placement in time, like the seismic history of the state - similar incidents (maybe not necessarily radioactive) in industry over time might warrant something like the earthquakes list - industrial accidents - there might not be enough for a substantial list, but then... just a thought JarrahTree 00:53, 15 March 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
