There was a discussion at
WT:PERM about a user whose autopatrolled
flag I removed. Among other concerns, that user was creating unreferenced articles. To justify this sloppiness, the user then produced a list of unreferenced articles created by users who have the autopatrolled flag.
Midnight Cop, recently created by you, is on this list. The affair has made its way to the
Administrators' noticeboard so there may be further scrutiny going forward.
Please let me give a reminder what autopatrolled is for: this is a flag given to users who consistently create clean articles that do not require review by others. Should maintenance flags like " unreferenced" be required, this does not meet the requirements for autopatrolled. Could I thus ask you that you go please back to articles that you have recently created with a view of ensuring that any issues raised in maintenance tags (whether placed already or potentially needed) be addressed? And going forward, that you please ensure that new articles are clean so that they don't require review by others? Please feel free to ask questions. Here's good; please ping me if you do.

Hi Doug, thanks for reaching out re Josiah Howell Bagster - my reason for moving was the absence of any other Josiah Bagster on Wikipedia, that the incoming links I looked at appeared to refer to him as Josiah Bagster as does his parliamentary biography. It's not something I feel strongly about however & am happy to take on good faith your comment on his common name. Find bruce ( talk) 22:33, 24 August 2022 (UTC)

Hi Doug, I was pleasantly surprised to find the article on Eduardo Majeroni of which you are the principal author. This is a heads up that I will be making some substantial additions and changes to the article over the next few months. Virtually all of your information is from newspaper articles and as you know, they are not particularly reliable, especially when they are talking about things that happened many years earlier.
Principally because of his connection to Ristori, there is a lot of original source materials available to draw from regarding his life. There is a Majeroni family member in Italy that has done a lot of work on the family acting history, reading and copying scores of letters and other documents at the Theatre Museum and Library in Genoa, Italy and elsewhere. I am a direct descendent and inherited a lockbox full of original documents. For instance, I have his and his fathers passports (originals), marriage certificate, his children's births records, hand-written letters from and to him, playbills, the original contracts for leasing theaters, and much, much more. All of this original source data paints a different picture of Eduardo than is portrayed in the Wiki article.
The information from the South Australian Register article is especially onerous. For example, it, and other newspaper articles, say he was born in Bergamo (outside Milan), yet his marriage license, which would have derived from his knowledge, says Bassano (outside Venice), which makes much more sense since the family is from Udine (outside Venice). It says he participated in the Siege of Bologna, but that occurred in 1849 - he would have only been 9 years old. While the articles description of the Battle of Magenta is probably accurate, he also participated in the deadly Battle of San Martino in which the Piedmontese played a critical role. The article makes it seem like he stumbled into acting, yet his father was an actor and managed theaters.
So I would like to correct some of the information, add additional photographs of him, more fully document his travels (he wrote lots of letters) and acting gigs (he played in some of the finest theaters in the world, again, mostly because of Ristori). Since you are the principial author, I wanted you to know where I was coming from. Thanks!

Welcome to Wikipedia. We appreciate your contributions, but in one of your recent edits to Pickaninny, it appears that you have added original research, which is against Wikipedia's policies. Original research refers to material—such as facts, allegations, ideas, and personal experiences—for which no reliable, published sources exist; it also encompasses combining published sources in a way to imply something that none of them explicitly say. Please be prepared to cite a reliable source for all of your contributions. You can have a look at the tutorial on citing sources.
The cited newspaper clippings are primary sources for the use of the term "pickaninny". They are only examples and don't say anything about how it was used generally. Any source from the 1920s is going to be outdated anyway. Thank you. — Sangdeboeuf ( talk) 07:53, 24 February 2024 (UTC)

In the article Alexander William Jessep, I changed the start year for his position as director from 1947 to 1941 because the article has a Trove reference that confirms the 1941 year. You have his last year as director as 1951, but later in the article there is a claim (unreferenced, but probably from "The Royal Botanic Gardens Melbourne: a history from 1845 to 1970.") that he retired in 1957. One possible explanation is that he held a position other than director from 1951 to 1957, but perhaps one of those years is wrong. Eastmain ( talk • contribs) 19:53, 4 May 2024 (UTC)

Regarding recent edits to "See also" section in Alexander Bain Moncrieff, [[James McGuire (railways)], William Alfred Webb ...
That's not what the "See also" section is for ( MOS:SEEALSO, MOS:NOTSEEALSO). Perhaps a Navigation templates would be better, or a category. Mitch Ames ( talk) 00:33, 8 August 2023 (UTC)

Hello there. Just randomly read Northern Territory and saw something that looked like a typo, so I went into the history and saw that it was added here in what looks like a copy-paste typo kind of thing. Just thought I'd notify you. I've done my share of stuff like that so certainly no reason to be embarrassed. It happens! Have a great day! 47.155.41.104 ( talk) 06:45, 7 September 2023 (UTC)
The article Stars of Opera Australia has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
I could not find any evidence that this is a notable DVD (notable performers, yes, but the DVD doesn't seem to have received much if any attention).
While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages 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 page 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.

Hi, thank you for your message about Albert Collins (painter). I added the Primary Sources tag because of the references to family announcements, and the couple of references to posters - the latter cannot, for instance, verify the statement that the firm "specialised in quality art work for prestigious clients". But you are of course welcome to remove the tag if you disagree. Tacyarg ( talk) 21:53, 10 October 2023 (UTC)

Hi Doug butler, our group, WikiProject Australian television, is currently recruiting additional editors to help edit the large project that is Australian TV. I was wondering whether you might consider joining us, since you work on Australian- and TV-related articles anyway. If you are interested, please add your name to the list of active participants, and see our list of open tasks. All the best, Lotsw73 ( talk) 06:11, 22 February 2024 (UTC)
Welcome to Wikipedia. We appreciate your contributions, but in one of your recent edits to Pickaninny, it appears that you have added original research, which is against Wikipedia's policies. Original research refers to material—such as facts, allegations, ideas, and personal experiences—for which no reliable, published sources exist; it also encompasses combining published sources in a way to imply something that none of them explicitly say. Please be prepared to cite a reliable source for all of your contributions. You can have a look at the tutorial on citing sources.
The cited newspaper clippings are primary sources for the use of the term "pickaninny". They are only examples and don't say anything about how it was used generally. Any source from the 1920s is going to be outdated anyway. Thank you. — Sangdeboeuf ( talk) 07:53, 24 February 2024 (UTC)
I notice you added the middle name "Kerr" to this article. I think you are confusing the subject with this "Gother Kerr Mann", who was born sometime later and was a colonist in New South Wales. He probably merits an article of his own. 𝕱𝖎𝖈𝖆𝖎𝖆 ( talk) 10:57, 27 March 2024 (UTC)
In the article Alexander William Jessep, I changed the start year for his position as director from 1947 to 1941 because the article has a Trove reference that confirms the 1941 year. You have his last year as director as 1951, but later in the article there is a claim (unreferenced, but probably from "The Royal Botanic Gardens Melbourne: a history from 1845 to 1970.") that he retired in 1957. One possible explanation is that he held a position other than director from 1951 to 1957, but perhaps one of those years is wrong. Eastmain ( talk • contribs) 19:53, 4 May 2024 (UTC)
