Welcome to Wikipedia! Need a hand?

Hello! TravellerQLD, you are invited to join other new editors at the Wikipedia Teahouse! The Teahouse is a friendly space on wiki where you can ask questions about editing and receive support & help from experienced editors. I hope to see you there! Sarah (talk) 23:57, 13 April 2012 (UTC)

In response to your feedback

Which ones? There are some that stayed, and some that have been reverted...anyway, you should discuss this with the user(s) who did the reversions/removals.

Lectonar (talk) 08:18, 17 April 2012 (UTC)

 

No worries, I seemed to have resolved it with the user. Thanks for your concern though! TravellerQLD (talk) 11:08, 17 April 2012 (UTC)

QR Long Distance services

Yes, some links in the template aren't working when they probably should. You might want to mention it at Template talk:Infobox station, hoping that someone who has worked on that template or knows more about it than me, can resolve it. FYI: you may also be interested in WP:RAILSTATION and WP:TRAINS in particular the railway stations listed as featured articles to see what to aim for. - Shiftchange (talk) 02:26, 28 May 2012 (UTC)

Thanks for the help. There seems to be a lot of things wrong when it comes to that North Coast line. The pages for the stations are a trainwreck (pun intended)... I may have to head down on that line once I've completed the TransLink infrastructure.

I noticed you are removing a few redlinks to Caboolture (suburb). Keep in mind that the redlink is for an uncreated suburb article and is different to Caboolture, Queensland which refers to a wider area. It is much the same as Ipswich (suburb), Queensland and Ipswich, Queensland. List of postcodes in Queensland is a handy list that can help clarify suburb names. - Shiftchange (talk) 08:25, 28 May 2012 (UTC)

You're right, I thought it might have helped connectivity and cleanliness of the pages, at least until someone can write a good article for the suburb of Caboolture. TravellerQLD (talk) 08:30, 28 May 2012 (UTC)

Well, it looks like I've taken a photo of every single train station on the network... Now what?

I would suggest taking a look at Category:Wikipedia requested photographs in Brisbane. Thanks Reubot (talk) 10:53, 3 July 2012 (UTC)

Thanks for that mate, I'll get on to as many of those as I can. Mind you, I do live on the Gold Coast and it's an hour on the train before I can actually get to the city but I tend to be able to get a lot done while I'm up there. TravellerQLD ^{(talk | contribs)} 12:20, 7 July 2012 (UTC)

I think there are a handful of Gold Coast ones in the parent category. Reubot (talk) 05:22, 9 July 2012 (UTC)

Cheers! TravellerQLD ^{(talk | contribs)} 08:40, 9 July 2012 (UTC)

I've noticed that many South East Queensland railway station articles have little about their history. At the very least we should have when they were opened in the body as well as the infobox. Maybe you could work on some of their history and include things like when they were electrified, facilities were upgraded or if any accidents and other notable incidents have occurred in the past. Local history books can be useful but a book on the history of rail transport in Queensland would probably be handy. Also it is great to see you still editing. It tells me you do want to improve things here and not just promote all your station photos for personal reasons. - Shiftchange (talk) 03:31, 9 December 2012 (UTC)

Yeah, I think a bit of history would be great too! Unfortunately the Queensland Rail site isn't very extensive - I'll see what I can find down at my local library. And thanks for the encouragement! :) TravellerQLD ^{(talk | contribs)} 08:11, 9 December 2012 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free media (File:Translink-corner-logo.png)

Thanks for uploading File:Translink-corner-logo.png. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Hazard-Bot (talk) 04:21, 2 August 2012 (UTC)

I know, I was going to see if I could just get it deleted straight away? Turns out I wasn't allowed to use it for what I wanted. Thanks, TravellerQLD ^{(talk | contribs)} 04:26, 2 August 2012 (UTC)

QR Long distance services

I have created succession templates for The Sunlander, Tilt Train, Spirit of the Outback, The Westlander, The Inlander and Kuranda Scenic Railway. See Roma Street railway station for implementation. Note that North and West are previous/left and South and East are next/right. Sw2nd (talk) 18:15, 8 September 2012 (UTC)

Hold on! I may have to turn those around to match other lines. Sw2nd (talk) 18:28, 8 September 2012 (UTC)

OK - I have reversed that to match current usage and Brisbane/Roma Street is prevous/left. I am in the northern hemisphere :) Good luck with it. Sw2nd (talk) 18:55, 8 September 2012 (UTC)

Thanks a lot for that! It's a shame that there is not very much information on the long distance services - even when the QROTI site still existed it didn't have very much! But, I'm gonna see what I can do about them, thanks again. TravellerQLD ^{(talk | contribs)} 23:36, 8 September 2012 (UTC)

North Coast line

If you want to upgrade the succession templates for services on the North Coast line beyond Rockhampton to Cairns you could use the example below inserted in the articles for the towns, replacing the old style code. This will simulate s-line templates but you need to hard code the wikilinks.

{{s-start|noclear=yes}}
{{s-text|style=background:#ccf; font-size:110%; font-weight:bold; |text=Long distance rail services}}
{{s-rail|title=QR}}
{{rail line two routes 
 |previous=[[X-town, Queensland]]<br><small>toward [[Roma Street railway station|Brisbane]]</small> 
 |next=[[Z-town, Queensland]]<br><small>toward [[Cairns railway station|Cairns]]</small> 
 |route1=[[The Sunlander]] |col1={{QR color|The Sunlander}} 
 |route2=[[Tilt Train|Diesel Tilt Train]] |col2={{QR color|Diesel Tilt Train}} 
}}
{{s-end}}

See Townsville for an example of the template above. I have also created an article for Rockhampton railway station, since it seems to be an important hub. Good luck with upgrading all station pages in South East Queensland. Sw2nd (talk) 03:26, 12 September 2012 (UTC)

Thanks a lot! Would you agree to making pages for all the (important) North Coast line stations? Someone has already taken a photo of the station in Mackay, so I could definitely implement that one. TravellerQLD ^{(talk | contribs)} 04:48, 12 September 2012 (UTC)

I live on the other side of the globe we both call home. It's mid afternoon for you and early morning for me, and it will be winter soon :) I really know nothing about the Queensland Railway. This has been a technical cleanup task for me. I can still help you, but my limited access to OZ resources and lack of local knowledge are severe handicaps. Go on - be bold - try it yourself! Sw2nd (talk) 05:06, 12 September 2012 (UTC)

Ah, I see, well in any case, thank you for all the help! TravellerQLD ^{(talk | contribs)} 05:14, 12 September 2012 (UTC)

• CORRECTION The simpler regular s-line templates now work for MOST locations in Queensland, because if they can't find a "railway station" by that name they look for a town suffixed ", Queensland". Just check your links because there may be a naming conflict. Sw2nd (talk) 22:14, 13 September 2012 (UTC)

{{s-line|system=QR|line=The Sunlander|previous= |next= |rows1=2|rows2=2}}
{{s-line|system=QR|line=Diesel Tilt Train|previous= |next= |hide1=yes|hide2=yes}}

Infobox is redundant

The custom Template:Infobox TransLink railway station is now unused and has been replaced by the standard Template:Infobox station. If you remove all content and tag it with {{Db-author}} it will be speedy deleted. Sw2nd (talk) 15:49, 12 September 2012 (UTC)

Alright, done. Thanks! TravellerQLD ^{(talk | contribs)} 22:45, 12 September 2012 (UTC)

OK. Now that everything is standard, I could create a style template to be used for other QR stations that are not TransLink. There is not any non-free logo but we could still do something better than the default. Perhaps a bold red name at top with red heading bars below with white text. Example to come. Sw2nd (talk) 23:09, 12 September 2012 (UTC)

I sent an email to Queensland Rail, asking for permission to use a small QR logo on Wikipedia - they might take a while to respond and they might not allow it, but we'll see. TravellerQLD ^{(talk | contribs)} 04:17, 13 September 2012 (UTC)

Rockhampton
General information
Location	George St, Rockhampton Queensland, Australia
Owned by	Queensland Rail
Line(s)	North Coast Line
Construction
Accessible	Yes

Here's and example of QR style. The red is sampled from the current official logo. The older ones were darker. If you get permission to use a logo it must be registered with Wikipedia. See Commons:OTRS You can't just say "They told me it was OK". Sw2nd (talk) 14:08, 13 September 2012 (UTC)

I like it. And that OTRS thing seems a bit intense to go through for just a small little logo; hopefully QR will be nice and have released it under a free license like TransLink. TravellerQLD ^{(talk | contribs)} 14:30, 13 September 2012 (UTC)

File permission problem with File:Translinkcorner.png

Thanks for uploading File:Translinkcorner.png. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file agreed to license it under the given license.

If you created this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either

• make a note permitting reuse under the CC-BY-SA or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or
• Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-enwikimedia.org, stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here. If you take this step, add {{OTRS pending}} to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.

If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-enwikimedia.org.

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:File copyright tags#Fair use, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See Wikipedia:File copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log. Files lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. You may wish to read the Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 19:14, 28 September 2012 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Studio Village, Queensland

The article Studio Village, Queensland has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

a small neighbourhood; a redirect to Oxenford should suffice

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. Crusoe8181 (talk) 10:26, 5 November 2012 (UTC)

the problem here is that every time a stub is created for a couple of streets in an outer suburb it wastes the time of the rest of us. Where are the coordinates of this supposed place (not supplied as yet), where are the references to verify the fact that the supposed place may actually exist; if it does exist is it notable or just a few streets in an outer suburb? Is it a hoax, perhaps?? Does Dumbo Village exist nearby?? or Gandalf Heights; how would we know w/out references?? Crusoe8181 (talk) 11:04, 5 November 2012 (UTC)

How do I get co-ordinates? TravellerQLD ^{(talk | contribs)} 11:12, 5 November 2012 (UTC)

Don't bite

This was a bit bitey. Users are perfectly within their rights to delete any or all content from their own user talk page. Warning them that they are "still in trouble", when, in fact, they are in no trouble at all (rather, they have performed some actions that require warnings, and the warnings have been given and received) could really send the wrong message to new editors.

Sorry about that, got a bit ahead of things there, haha. TravellerQLD ^{(talk | contribs)} 22:55, 5 November 2012 (UTC)

File:QRLogoSmall.png listed for deletion

A file that you uploaded or altered, File:QRLogoSmall.png, has been listed at Wikipedia:Files for deletion. Please see the discussion to see why this is (you may have to search for the title of the image to find its entry), if you are interested in it not being deleted. Thank you.
