Thanks for your efforts! Unprofessional, what the. I was nice throughout to her but right from the beginning she sounded like an up-tight prude.

Hi Donama. I have been working my way around some of SA's former railways and creating or updating the articles about the railways and the towns they passed through. I'm currently working my way up the Gladstone railway line, and puzzled by the station between Blyth and Brinkworth. The reference I used for the route ( [1]) shows the station name as Anama, but the PLB shows it as Hart Railway Station with the Anama LOCB further northeast, and things called Anama spread across the region. I have not hit on the right search terms to get a useful answer from Trove, as there seem to be news articles sourced from Anama talking about activities at Hart (such as building and fundraising in the hall). Do you have any better sources or hints? Thanks. -- Scott Davis Talk 03:43, 5 December 2015 (UTC)
Hi again. Do you have any idea how notable the bulk of the content of Whitwarta, South Australia is? It reads rather like some of the family history books I have, but I can't work out how to shorten it besides completely deleting unreferenced sections. I've defaced several sections with citation needed and unreferenced templates, but that only makes the story ugly. Thanks.
One of the reasons I looked at the article is that the WikiMiniAtlas shows Whitwarta instead of Balaklava at several zoom levels, and the main reason seems to be because the article is so much longer.-- Scott Davis Talk 11:25, 1 February 2016 (UTC)

Point Boston is a bounded locality, not just a geographical feature - please check before going for the redirect! Sorry to have to be a harpy - I'm still working on localities in that area so I'll get to it shortly but current LOCBs getting redirected is a pet hate of mine. (It's also not in, or adjacent to, Boston!) The Drover's Wife ( talk) 04:43, 18 March 2016 (UTC)
Can you please not redirect these LOCB topics? There are several of us trying to get articles on all of these and you just rendered the locality lists for Murray Bridge useless in determining what does and doesn't have articles because now half of those that don't have unhelpful blue-links. I know you do a lot of good work, but this really hampers the efforts of others of us trying to tackle this, and it's not like you didn't know those were LOCBs and so were notable. Doing so many at a time (and on somewhere I'm not currently working on) means that's just going to be a mess that's going to get forgotten about instead of getting done with all the other localities. The Drover's Wife ( talk) 05:16, 1 April 2016 (UTC)
I've obviously noticed your diligent work around Moonta lately and believe the same can be done for Murray Bridge (and probably other regional centres in SA) so I've started a little project to atone for my sins at User:Donama/Murray Bridge suburbs. Any help welcomed. Donama ( talk) 07:08, 8 June 2016 (UTC)
No worries. It's not the worst in these cases because they're relevant enough to my interests that I don't mind, but it's just a few days work to fix each one (and a few weeks of wiki-article-writing time) so it's not something I'd like people to make a habit of. I found Moonta quite fun because tracing the history of these little communities is an interesting project, and I already would have done the same in the Burra area except unfortunately the geographic authorities just merged all the equivalents into a massive Burra locality. Breaking them out also makes a lot of things make more sense - for instance the ABS data for Moonta is incomprehensible unless you can link what parts of non-central Moonta each dataset includes!
I've still got exams for another week but I'm aiming to finish the Copper Coast locality redirects, sort out the Goyder and Copper Coast past LGAs, and then slowly meander down the Murray (there's someone else's old council redirects I need to take care of in Loxton Waikerie too) so I'll probably be able to help out there in a few weeks. :) The Drover's Wife ( talk) 09:28, 8 June 2016 (UTC)
Do you mind if I break out a separate article on the Highercombe council? It existed for 82 years and existed alongside Tea Tree Gully for 77 of them, so I feel that's notable. I think a lot of these cases where there are kind of overlapping councils (like I'm doing a whole bunch at the moment were a District Council got created for a cadastral hundred, the town incorporated leaving the District Council representing nowhere with any people, and that still surviving for 50 years) don't make sense unless they're actually broken out to clearly delineate them, and it also allows for separate lists of chairmen/mayors that would get too long in a merged article. The Drover's Wife ( talk) 03:13, 30 March 2016 (UTC)
Hi Donama, I saw a comment you left after missing out on the last meetup in January, and as I've just proposed holding Meetup 18 on 19 May at Port Adelaide, I thought that I'd let you know.

Please no with the redirecting of past local governments! It just makes it that much harder to unentangle them because you can't see what doesn't have an article (and should) and it's hard to keep track of the ones that have been randomly redirected and need articles versus those that are actual legitimate redirects. At least this time it's one that's next on my list after Goyder and Copper Coast but it really is a nuisance. The Drover's Wife ( talk) 05:50, 11 July 2016 (UTC)

Hi Donama! I don't intend reverting your edits, but are you aware that the -ize spellings are not merely Americanisms, they are also (mostly) preferred by The Times, the Oxford English Dictionary and Fowler's Modern English Usage wherever "-ize" is the pronunciation of the root verb. Exceptions given by Fowler are advertise, advise, apprise, chastise, circumcise, compromise, demise, despise, devise, enterprise, excise, exercise, franchise, improvise, incise, premise, revise, supervise, surmise, surprise and televise. The others can be "stet" rather than "edit". See also "New verbs in -ize" in Fowler. Doug butler ( talk) 04:31, 26 July 2016 (UTC)

I thought it odd that you included the ford photo on Korunye, South Australia, until I paid attention and looked at Google Streetview, to realise that the photo belongs to Korunye, and not to Pinkerton Plains where it had been in the infobox. I pity the council and emergency services having to deal with a Wasley Road and a Wasleys Road both crossing the Light River a few km out of Mallala in opposite directions! I have removed the picture from Wasleys and Pinkerton Plains articles. Wasleys Road actually has quite a substantial bridge for a dirt road.

Hi Donama
Thanks for fixing the mess; don't know what happened there: noticed several instances of minus sign for ndash so did search for all minus signs and (manually, individually) replaced those that didn't comply, also a few circas. But somehow great lumps of stuff vanished wherever there was a "-". I use standard old-fashioned Wikipedia edit facility that has no "search and replace" facility or anything like it, so I'm at a loss to understand, but have noticed another queer problem that only recently popped up, so will try resetting my profile.

I think the confusion stems from a lot of people misreading the 1936 Civic Record: I think when they said "Corporation and District Council of X", they didn't mean that they were one body, just that they had a joint entry in the Civic Record. The entries on the ones that I wrote didn't seem to suggest there was any kind of united body.
I only really know about Kadina because it's the one I researched (including getting out all the local history books), but they were definitely not one organisation and had separate offices. I was working my way across the state from west to east and north to south before I got super busy and ran out of steam and so never got to Clare and Kapunda.
I've been meaning to say this for a while: you should have a look at the 1986 Civic Record. It's vastly better-written than the 1936 one and it's a much better source in every way. I actually sat there and photographed every page because it's impossible to get outside of a State Library these days.
Okay, so I've gone back through my photographs - I also caught a few other resources when I hit up the SLSA last November:
This is what "A Glossary of Local Government Areas in South Australia, 1840-1985 by E. Jane Robbins and John R. Robbins has to say:
District Council of Kapunda
Corporate Town of Kapunda
District Council of Clare
Corporate Town of Clare
Our power's just gone out (sending this from tethered phone internet!) but I'll have a look and see if the 1986 Civic Record gives me any more details a bit later today. The Drover's Wife ( talk) 01:02, 5 January 2018 (UTC)
You've got a conflict of sources at Enfield - 1986 Civic Record says Roy Donald Amer was mayor from 1968 to 1982, but has Norton listed as mayor in 1986. Unfortunately I cut off the half a page with the current councillors' details because that was rarely useful for what I was looking for. Bit baffled at the discrepancy - although the "Those Who Served" document is pretty useless in my book because it doesn't distinguish between terms as councillor, alderman and mayor, but am stumped by the difference between the Civic Record and that Mayor's report.

Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. I see you've editing information in the Ugg boots article. There's no way these additions and removals are acceptable on Wikipedia without evidence (see WP:SOURCE). Note also that statements like "this will keep being deleted" are also unacceptable. Please be prepared to go slow on this as this article as been the target of extensive edit warring in the past. Start a topic about the Spencers on the Ugg boot talk page first and we'll see what sources we can come up with. You will find there are plenty of editors already familiar with the controversy about Ugg boot history. Present the sources and you will have sympathetic editors willing to help. Note also there are also a several users who clearly are unsympathetic to anything other than the idea that Ugg is a registered US trademark! At least one account was found to be paid by Deckers, so this article has a higher degree of scrutiny. Last thing... Be aware that persistently making edits which are reverted (even if they are technically incorrect) is also unacceptable on Wikipedia and can easily result in an editing block (see WP:3RR).

Note also there are also a several users who clearly are unsympathetic to anything other than the idea that Ugg is a registered US trademark! At least one account was found to be paid by Deckers, so this article has a higher degree of scrutiny. Last thing... Be aware that persistently making edits which are reverted (even if they are technically incorrect) is also unacceptable on Wikipedia and can easily result in an editing block (see WP:3RR). Please discuss your changes on the talk page and gain consensus before making them again. Donama ( talk) 22:59, 11 December 2018 (UTC)
Hi Donama. I'm doing a little work on an article, can we add something about the interesting image File:Ghost_bat_medical_closeup.jpg? cygnis insignis 08:03, 4 February 2019 (UTC)
Hi Donama. Are you sure about the spelling of Harold Cooper's middle name? The source you provided and others (including this: http://pandora.nla.gov.au/pan/135807/20131016-0000/www.samuseum.sa.gov.au/collections/information-resources/archives/cooper-harold-more-aa-64.html) spell it "More".

Hi Donama,
I am writing about the above subject in respect to your recent edits on Davenport, the Corporate Town of Davenport and the Hundred of Davenport.
I have upgraded the above as well as the article about Davenport, South Australia to reflect the following:
For your information, I do need to add some more citations to the article about the Hundred of Davenport.
Please reply on this talk page if you wish to make comment about the above.

Hello, I removed your autoblock, so you should be able to edit again. Sro23 ( talk) 03:18, 30 April 2019 (UTC)
Please read
Wikipedia:Disambiguation#Links to disambiguation pages, where it states that the proper way to link from a disambiguation page to another disambiguation page is as follows:
* On a disambiguation page, an intentional link to another disambiguation page that does not contain "(disambiguation)" in the title:
- Incorrect: [[Springfield]]
- Incorrect: [[Springfield (disambiguation)|Springfield]]
- Incorrect: [[Springfield|Springfield (disambiguation)]]
- Correct: [[Springfield (disambiguation)]]
Please stop changing the links in the 'See also' section of
Kai, as they were correctly formatted before you made any changes. Again,
KAI is a disambiguation page, and the proper way to link to it from Kai is by linking
KAI (disambiguation). -
