I have split out the Morphett families of South Australia from George Morphett, I am not sure about the notability of the families but it does appear misplaced in that article. It does look likely they are related, more work would be needed to show that.

I'm not sure why this article was created: it doesn't seem to even try to make any claim to notability, and the whole article is the family history of the guy who founded it, who it also makes no claim to notability for. I don't nominate your articles for deletion because I appreciate all your hard work, but this is so not the first time you've gotten caught up in researching someone's family history and then tried to shoehorn it into Wikipedia without any encyclopedic context and it's really not the place. The Drover's Wife ( talk) 03:15, 8 May 2016 (UTC)
Since you asked - it sounds borderline notable (and relevant to my interests!) but could probably make that case better. It says she was one of the first women graduates (and from the timing she obviously was), but there's no sources for that and no detail - was it not written about it at the time?
As for the husband - perhaps another case of slightly eclectic merging, since he is also marginally notable, but amusing to see the husband merged into the wife's article for once. The Drover's Wife ( talk) 12:02, 21 May 2016 (UTC)

Goo afternoon, thanks for the email. I have heard of Coghill - I will have a look in the local library to see if there is a copy that I can look at.

Hi Doug butler, the source of 'Hambidge' in the Wilderness Protection Area's name is the Hambridge Conservation Park which was named after the Hambridge National Park which was originally named after the Hundred of Hambidge. This is evident from the the Property Location Browser reports for all of the above features. While the Hundred itself is named after Clive Hambidge, I think it is not appropriate is to directly state that the Wilderness Protection Area is named after Clive because Hambidge, like many of the other Hundreds, became a local name used by local residents. Therefore naming of Wilderness Protection Area reflects a local useage rather than an ongoing recognition of Clive Hambidge. I also minimised the content re Clive as the article is about a protected area and not about Clive. Please reply here if you have any comments. Regards Cowdy001 ( talk) 05:32, 22 August 2016 (UTC)

Hi, I just finished an article about a salt lake called Lake Harris which was named after Charles Hope Harris, a government surveyor.

Hi Doug butler
Your article, W. R. Wilson, states that the subject’s wife is only four years older than his daughter. I do know a bit about W. R. Wilson because he is a relative of a relative etc. He was married at least twice with his first wife being Ada Wills (1857-1879) whom he married at the home of one of my ancestors in 1875. Ada is the mother of his only child, May Harrie(t) Wilson who was born in Hindmarsh on 30 July 1876. I do not know when he married his second wife – there is no marriage recorded in the relevant SA records or reported in newspapers currently available in digitised form on Trove. It is likely that they married in one of the other colonies. By the way, Wilson was born in Benburb, County Tyrone and it is possible that he is related to James Wilson (Orangeman).

Hi, Doug! I see there around 170 more of these links. Would you like me to fix them using the AutoWikiBrowser? It would be a matter of a few minutes for me compared with hours for you. Kerry ( talk) 00:27, 6 December 2017 (UTC)

to avoid any unexpected replacements outside of the context of a wikilink but still allowing for the likely possibility that the link is piped (almost always was). Kerry ( talk) 03:51, 6 December 2017 (UTC)

Looks very like the second example on your Talk page. I'd hoped for something at the top along with the column width definition. Defining the color of every cell is kinda clunky.

Another way to do cell alignment. However, still row and cell based, not column based. Pdfpdf ( talk) 03:10, 9 December 2017 (UTC)

Maybe, but probably not laterally enough to solve the problem(s) in the way we would prefer. Pdfpdf ( talk) 03:50, 10 December 2017 (UTC)
