Thank you for
your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from
3rd Battalion (Australia) into
4th/3rd Battalion, Royal New South Wales Regiment. While you are welcome to re-use Wikipedia's content, here or elsewhere,
Wikipedia's licensing does require that you provide attribution to the original contributor(s). When copying within Wikipedia, this is supplied at minimum in an
edit summary at the page into which you've copied content, disclosing the copying and
linking to the copied page, e.g., copied content from [[page name]]; see that page's history for attribution
. It is good practice, especially if copying is extensive, to also place a properly formatted {{
copied}} template on the talk pages of the source and destination. Please provide attribution for this duplication if it has not already been supplied by another editor, and if you have copied material between pages before, even if it was a long time ago, you should provide attribution for that also. You can read more about the procedure and the reasons at
Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. Thank you. If you are the sole author of the prose that was copied, attribution is not required. —

Hi, The RAAF will be renaming its lowest-level positions 'Aviator' as part of the celebrations of its 100th anniversary and reforms to improve gender inclusiveness. It's not clear though when this is coming into effect as the HR manuals on the Defence website were still using the old terminology when I recently checked. Please see the discussion at User talk:Nick-D#RAAF Question for some sources. Regards, Nick-D ( talk) 06:19, 2 May 2021 (UTC)

Hi IronBattalion, I just noticed that you placed an NPOV dispute tag on the article Industrial unionism back in July of this year. Per Wikipedia policy on initiating these disputes, this tag should be added alongside a section in the talk page, in which you can indicate where and how the article includes a non-neutral point of view. This opens a route for neutralising the language in the article through consensus, whereas a tag by itself doesn't. Thanks -- Grnrchst ( talk) 14:32, 11 December 2021 (UTC)
This message is being sent to let you know of a discussion at the Wikipedia:Dispute resolution noticeboard regarding interpretation of WP:STATUSQUO, which version should be maintained while the Etymology section is being discussed. Content disputes can hold up article development and make editing difficult. You are not required to participate, but you are both invited and encouraged to help this dispute come to a resolution. The thread is " Perth".
Please join us to help form a consensus. Thank you! Mitch Ames ( talk) 05:43, 9 April 2022 (UTC)
Hi there, there is a discussion raging at the moment that will hopefully lead to a formal end to the debate and edit warring around inclusion of Aboriginal placenames in articles. I have greatly appreciated your input before on this issue and if you have the energy it'd be great to have your contribution. /info/en/?search=Wikipedia:Australian_Wikipedians%27_notice_board#Indigenous_names Noticeboard Poketama ( talk) 11:46, 15 May 2022 (UTC)
Thanks for your interest in royal commissions. Legislative history is an interesting idea. While there is general legislation such as the s Act 1923 (NSW) it is largely procedural. I am not aware of any book dedicated to the subject and the academic articles I have seen are either (1) about a specific royal commission eg Monsters and Horror in the Australian Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse (2) advocates guides to appearing before a royal commission or (3) procedural such as From Fact Finding to Truth-Telling. You might also be interested in the Australian Law Reform report from 2010 Royal Commissions and official inquiries. Find bruce ( talk) 22:15, 29 June 2022 (UTC)
Hi IronBattalion, I notice you've been removing piped links across several articles, e.g. changing references to 1922 federal election to 1922 Australian federal election. This isn't really necessary when the geographical location is already clear from the context, it just adds unneeded words. E.g. Ben Chifley#Railwayman now has four references to New South Wales in a single paragraph. You should also take care that you fix the capitalisation when you remove piped links. ITBF ( talk) 07:28, 3 July 2022 (UTC)
An article you recently created,
Scullin government, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more citations from
reliable,
independent sources. (
?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (
verifiability is of
central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to
draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:
" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's
general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.

Hello, IronBattalion. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, " Scullin government".
In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been deleted. When you plan on working on it further and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.

G'day IronBattalion, just touching base here to make a friendly request for you to include better edit summaries in your edits.
Noting the guidance from
What to avoid in edit sumnmaries, in particular:
Avoid vagueness. While edit summaries can be terse, they should still be specific. Providing an edit summary similar to "I made some changes" is functionally equivalent to not providing a summary at all. -
What to avoid in edit sumnmaries
I've noted you have made some rather large changes to a number of pages with edit summaries of only: "edited down" and others with "fixed" etc. etc. here: IronBattalion's Contributions
It makes it difficult to know what you've edited and why the edit was made, without checking the [diff]. If you haven't seen this page before, then it may be helpful in writing some summaries that provide some more information WP:ESL
