Hi,
I saw your feedback on Help:Wikipedia: The Missing Manual/Formatting and Illustrating Articles/Adding Images, which prompted me to make a few improvements to the page. Notably, I have added two new boxes: Attribution and the Author field and What about attribution?.
I hope this was the sort of thing you were looking for; if not, please let me know. If you have any other ideas for improving the page, feel free to edit the page yourself, put a note on the talk page or leave further feedback.

Dear experts,
In a work-in-progress draft article on a sub-page of my User page, here, I have two collapsed wikitables, headed " Personalising your request" and " What's their name?"
I would like them to be at the right-hand margin, the second one immediately below the first, with the body text of the article flowing around them.
Could you tell me how to do that, please?
Your advice will be appreciated, since my search for the solution has been unsuccessful.

Hi SCH,
I really admire the work you did assembling the Adelaide horse-drawn tram network map as it stood in the 1900s. After an extensive search, this has been the most complete map I have been able to find to date of the horse-drawn network.
I am a content producer by trade and videographer/animator/editor by hobby, and am currently working on a film project about the history of Adelaide's tram network. In particular, I am researching the chronology of the construction, the opening, and the closing of lines in the network. I note in the map description you state: The map was created using data from numerous contemporaneous sources: diagrams, texts and photographs (copyright expired), but don't list the sources.
I wouldn't presume to ask you to actually construct it, but do you believe it to be possible for a network timeline to be constructed based on your previous research for the map? I think it could be beneficial to add such a timeline to the Horse trams in Adelaide page.
This information would also help me with the video I am working on. If you're interested in assisting me with sources for the video, I would be most happy to credit you for your work.
Keen to hear your thoughts.

If your writing complies with this, it's time to seek comment from other editors, leading to consensus. This is usually done by asking on the article's Talk page, but that's unlikely to attract responses in a new article. Then it's time to do what's shown in the Wikipedia:Help desk article. Cheers, SCHolar44 ( talk) 03:10, 15 January 2022 (UTC)As noted, the sources you use must be reliable; that is, they must be sources that exercise some form of editorial control and have some reputation for fact-checking and accuracy. Print sources (and web-based versions of those sources) tend to be the most reliable, though some web-only sources may also be reliable. Examples might include (but are not limited to) books published by major publishing houses, newspapers, magazines, peer-reviewed scholarly journals, websites of any of the above, and other websites that meet the same requirements as a reputable print-based source.
There does not seem to be an equivalent of /info/en/?search=Central_Australia_Railway#Floods in either the Trans article of the east west corridor article - I have been trawling trove newspaper reports and have found, about 10 - do you think it would warrant a section somewhere?

MediaWiki message delivery ( talk) 09:14, 9 September 2023 (UTC)
Hello SCHolar44,
Backlog update: At the time of this message, there are 11,300 articles and 15,600 redirects awaiting review. This is the highest backlog in a long time. Please help out by doing additional reviews!
October backlog elimination drive: A one-month backlog drive for October will start in one week! Barnstars will be awarded based on the number of articles and redirects patrolled. Articles will earn 4x as many points compared to redirects. You can sign up here.
PageTriage code upgrades: Upgrades to the PageTriage code, initiated by the NPP open letter in 2022 and actioned by the WMF Moderator Tools Team in 2023, are ongoing. More information can be found here. As part of this work, the Special:NewPagesFeed now has a new version in beta! The update leaves the NewPagesFeed appearance and function mostly identical to the old one, but updates the underlying code, making it easier to maintain and helping make sure the extension is not decommissioned due to maintenance issues in the future. You can try out the new Special:NewPagesFeed here - it will replace the current version soon.
Notability tip: Professors can meet WP:PROF #1 by having their academic papers be widely cited by their peers. When reviewing professor articles, it is a good idea to find their Google Scholar or Scopus profile and take a look at their h-index and number of citations. As a very rough rule of thumb, for most fields, articles on people with a h-index of twenty or more, a first-authored paper with more than a thousand citations, or multiple papers each with more than a hundred citations are likely to be kept at AfD.
Reviewing tip: If you would like like a second opinion on your reviews or simply want another new page reviewer by your side when patrolling, we recommend pair reviewing! This is where two reviewers use Discord voice chat and screen sharing to communicate with each other while reviewing the same article simultaneously. This is a great way to learn and transfer knowledge.

Hi -- not sure if you'll be interested in this, but I saw you'd worked on Victor Harbor Horse Drawn Tram relatively recently and I thought I'd ask. I've been uploading some old photographs of Australia and just put this on Commons. It shows the tram in use starting in 1956. I was going to add it to the gallery but it's a bit cramped so I thought I'd just let you know about it in case you think it's worth shoe-horning in. All the best -- Mike Christie ( talk - contribs - library) 21:19, 19 January 2024 (UTC)
Hello SCHolar44,
Backlog update: The October drive reduced the article backlog from 11,626 to 7,609 and the redirect backlog from 16,985 to 6,431! Congratulations to Schminnte, who led with over 2,300 points.
Following that, New Page Patrol organized another backlog drive for articles in January 2024. The January drive started with 13,650 articles and reduced the backlog to 7,430 articles. Congratulations to JTtheOG, who achieved first place with 1,340 points in this drive.
Looking at the graph, it seems like backlog drives are one of the only things keeping the backlog under control. Another backlog drive is being planned for May. Feel free to participate in the May backlog drive planning discussion.
It's worth noting that both queues are gradually increasing again and are nearing 14,034 articles and 22,540 redirects. We encourage you to keep contributing, even if it's just a single patrol per day. Your support is greatly appreciated!
2023 Awards
Onel5969 won the 2023 cup with 17,761 article reviews last year - that's an average of nearly 50/day. There was one Platinum Award (10,000+ reviews), 2 Gold Awards (5000+ reviews), 6 Silver (2000+), 8 Bronze (1000+), 30 Iron (360+) and 70 more for the 100+ barnstar. Hey man im josh led on redirect reviews by clearing 36,175 of them. For the full details, see the Awards page and the Hall of Fame. Congratulations everyone for their efforts in reviewing!
WMF work on PageTriage: The WMF Moderator Tools team and volunteer software developers deployed the rewritten NewPagesFeed in October, and then gave the NewPagesFeed a slight visual facelift in November. This concludes most major work to Special:NewPagesFeed, and most major work by the WMF Moderator Tools team, who wrapped up their major work on PageTriage in October. The WMF Moderator Tools team and volunteer software developers will continue small work on PageTriage as time permits.
Recruitment: A couple of the coordinators have been inviting editors to become reviewers, via mass-messages to their talk pages. If you know someone who you'd think would make a good reviewer, then a personal invitation to them would be great. Additionally, if there are Wikiprojects that you are active on, then you can add a post there asking participants to join NPP. Please be careful not to double invite folks that have already been invited.
Reviewing tip: Reviewers who prefer to patrol new pages within their most familiar subjects can use the regularly updated NPP Browser tool.

Hi, I notice on your map you have the Grange horse tram terminating outside the Grange Hotel on Jetty Street. It actually terminated on Beach Street in a similar manner. You can check this by looking at the Parliamentary Act that created the extension from Henley Beach and the Act that allowed the never to be built tramway along Beach Street.

Hi, I am trying to upload images for this article that are from a personal library. I see I can do that, but I have used working titles as the 'image title' and now want to edit the titles/source. Can I just delete the uploaded images and start over or is there a way to update the image title? This article is in a sandbox tilted "Phil Horton". Thanks -- EllenCarl14 ( talk) 20:15, 6 January 2022 (UTC)

In an article how would I lock it like where it would be semi locked. -- WolfeReAds ( talk) 23:22, 14 January 2022 (UTC)
If your writing complies with this, it's time to seek comment from other editors, leading to consensus. This is usually done by asking on the article's Talk page, but that's unlikely to attract responses in a new article. Then it's time to do what's shown in the Wikipedia:Help desk article. Cheers, SCHolar44 ( talk) 03:10, 15 January 2022 (UTC)As noted, the sources you use must be reliable; that is, they must be sources that exercise some form of editorial control and have some reputation for fact-checking and accuracy. Print sources (and web-based versions of those sources) tend to be the most reliable, though some web-only sources may also be reliable. Examples might include (but are not limited to) books published by major publishing houses, newspapers, magazines, peer-reviewed scholarly journals, websites of any of the above, and other websites that meet the same requirements as a reputable print-based source.
There does not seem to be an equivalent of /info/en/?search=Central_Australia_Railway#Floods in either the Trans article of the east west corridor article - I have been trawling trove newspaper reports and have found, about 10 - do you think it would warrant a section somewhere? Your advice is being sought as your work is quite amazing - I hadnt noticed as my subject areas are very chaotic of recent... oops we conversed over a year ago... I blame it all on the plague...

If you have any advice on editing some bad mistakes on a biographical Wikipedia page on me -(Marie Yates - artist) - would be so grateful. Some of the problems are not just inaccuracies but contentious personal opinions of whoever wrote it. (NOT me and unknown to me). My website is down at the moment but when it re-emerges it will have most of the needed corrections clearly available. -- Yatesm ( talk) 15:47, 12 March 2022 (UTC)

Hi, there is currently a proposal for an Australian Transport WikiProject. I thought you may be interested due to your edits and interests in transport in Australia. The proposal can be found at Wikipedia:WikiProject Council/Proposals/Australian Transport. If you are interested, add yourself to the Support section of the page. Thank you!

Hello SCHolar44,
Backlog update: At the time of this message, there are 11,300 articles and 15,600 redirects awaiting review. This is the highest backlog in a long time. Please help out by doing additional reviews!
October backlog elimination drive: A one-month backlog drive for October will start in one week! Barnstars will be awarded based on the number of articles and redirects patrolled. Articles will earn 4x as many points compared to redirects. You can sign up here.
PageTriage code upgrades: Upgrades to the PageTriage code, initiated by the NPP open letter in 2022 and actioned by the WMF Moderator Tools Team in 2023, are ongoing. More information can be found here. As part of this work, the Special:NewPagesFeed now has a new version in beta! The update leaves the NewPagesFeed appearance and function mostly identical to the old one, but updates the underlying code, making it easier to maintain and helping make sure the extension is not decommissioned due to maintenance issues in the future. You can try out the new Special:NewPagesFeed here - it will replace the current version soon.
Notability tip: Professors can meet WP:PROF #1 by having their academic papers be widely cited by their peers. When reviewing professor articles, it is a good idea to find their Google Scholar or Scopus profile and take a look at their h-index and number of citations. As a very rough rule of thumb, for most fields, articles on people with a h-index of twenty or more, a first-authored paper with more than a thousand citations, or multiple papers each with more than a hundred citations are likely to be kept at AfD.
Reviewing tip: If you would like like a second opinion on your reviews or simply want another new page reviewer by your side when patrolling, we recommend pair reviewing! This is where two reviewers use Discord voice chat and screen sharing to communicate with each other while reviewing the same article simultaneously. This is a great way to learn and transfer knowledge.

Hello SCHolar44:
WikiProject Articles for creation is holding a month long
Backlog Drive!
The goal of this drive is to reduce the backlog of unreviewed drafts to less than 2 months outstanding reviews from the current 4+ months. Bonus points will be given for reviewing drafts that have been waiting more than 30 days. The drive is running from 1 November 2023 through 30 November 2023.
You may find Category:AfC pending submissions by age or other categories and sorting helpful.
Barnstars will be given out as awards at the end of the drive.

Hi -- not sure if you'll be interested in this, but I saw you'd worked on Victor Harbor Horse Drawn Tram relatively recently and I thought I'd ask. I've been uploading some old photographs of Australia and just put this on Commons. It shows the tram in use starting in 1956. I was going to add it to the gallery but it's a bit cramped so I thought I'd just let you know about it in case you think it's worth shoe-horning in. All the best -- Mike Christie ( talk - contribs - library) 21:19, 19 January 2024 (UTC)
Hello SCHolar44,
Backlog update: The October drive reduced the article backlog from 11,626 to 7,609 and the redirect backlog from 16,985 to 6,431! Congratulations to Schminnte, who led with over 2,300 points.
Following that, New Page Patrol organized another backlog drive for articles in January 2024. The January drive started with 13,650 articles and reduced the backlog to 7,430 articles. Congratulations to JTtheOG, who achieved first place with 1,340 points in this drive.
Looking at the graph, it seems like backlog drives are one of the only things keeping the backlog under control. Another backlog drive is being planned for May. Feel free to participate in the May backlog drive planning discussion.
It's worth noting that both queues are gradually increasing again and are nearing 14,034 articles and 22,540 redirects. We encourage you to keep contributing, even if it's just a single patrol per day. Your support is greatly appreciated!
2023 Awards
Onel5969 won the 2023 cup with 17,761 article reviews last year - that's an average of nearly 50/day. There was one Platinum Award (10,000+ reviews), 2 Gold Awards (5000+ reviews), 6 Silver (2000+), 8 Bronze (1000+), 30 Iron (360+) and 70 more for the 100+ barnstar. Hey man im josh led on redirect reviews by clearing 36,175 of them. For the full details, see the Awards page and the Hall of Fame. Congratulations everyone for their efforts in reviewing!
WMF work on PageTriage: The WMF Moderator Tools team and volunteer software developers deployed the rewritten NewPagesFeed in October, and then gave the NewPagesFeed a slight visual facelift in November. This concludes most major work to Special:NewPagesFeed, and most major work by the WMF Moderator Tools team, who wrapped up their major work on PageTriage in October. The WMF Moderator Tools team and volunteer software developers will continue small work on PageTriage as time permits.
Recruitment: A couple of the coordinators have been inviting editors to become reviewers, via mass-messages to their talk pages. If you know someone who you'd think would make a good reviewer, then a personal invitation to them would be great. Additionally, if there are Wikiprojects that you are active on, then you can add a post there asking participants to join NPP. Please be careful not to double invite folks that have already been invited.
Reviewing tip: Reviewers who prefer to patrol new pages within their most familiar subjects can use the regularly updated NPP Browser tool.

Hi, I notice on your map you have the Grange horse tram terminating outside the Grange Hotel on Jetty Street. It actually terminated on Beach Street in a similar manner. You can check this by looking at the Parliamentary Act that created the extension from Henley Beach and the Act that allowed the never to be built tramway along Beach Street.
