Greaves still has some of these in his possession, and they may be seen at the Roe-street public school.It does not say that the "Roe-street public school" is the same thing as the James St school, nor does it say where Greaves lives or works. The best we can reasonably deduce is that Greaves (in possession of specimens) is sometimes at a school (living, working, visiting to show off his specimens?) - with a different name to school he is cited as working at.
Greaves [was] caretaker of the James-street State School Perth, with no mention of where he lived or died.

A category or categories you have created have been nominated for possible deletion, merging, or renaming. A discussion is taking place to decide whether this proposal complies with the categorization guidelines. If you would like to participate in the discussion, you are invited to add your comments at Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2024 February 9 § Women foos on the categories for discussion page. Thank you. House Blaster ( talk · he/him) 02:48, 9 February 2024 (UTC)
there are in fact many men/male categories too—and we should remove those also in many cases.
Category:Men's sports— Sports are a special case, because most sports are explicitly segregated by sex/gender. I can run a sporting event and (definitely in my home country of Australia, and I believe in most countries of the world) it is generally legal and acceptable to have separate male and female events. But if a large company looking to hire accountants, for example, explicitly advertised for "women/female accounts" (or "men/male accountants"), or had separate departments for male/female accountants, or listed their job descriptions as male/female ..., it would be in serious trouble with the local Equal Opportunities Commission.
although there are as many women as men around the globe, biographies of women in the English Wikipedia represent less than 20% of the total— that may be the case but ...
The women's categories therefore help to draw attention to the achievements of women.— I believe that we should be gender-blind and gender neutral and not explicitly "draw attention to to the achievements" of one gender or another. We should be treating people equally, without reference to their gender.
you fortunately seem to be among the many Australians who have been creating women's biographies— I occasionally create biographies of notable people. The person's gender is irrelevant to whether I create a particular biography.
I also see you have made use of women's categories yourself— I don't agree with those categories, but defer to the community's consensus on their existence and use.
Maybe your comment on the category discussion was influenced by your interest in The Men's Table?— No. My opinions on gender-blindness and gender neutrality existed before I had ever heard of The Men's Table. In any case the existence of gender-specific organisations (and sports) does not imply that we should categorise people by gender in fields unrelated to gender (scientists, accountants etc).

Hey there, just wanted to discuss your removal of the Noongar names from the article on the Whadjuk people.
I think including them is quite relevant and of interest to any reader interested in the subject. I don't see why a reader wouldn't be curious about this info if they've gone through the effort of finding a particular article on one of the Noongar people.
Your comments about the section on the seasons including irrelevant information regarding plants and animals is not considering the fact that these things are inextricably linked. The Noongar seasons are not conceptualised the same way the winter, spring, summer, autumn system is; they are noticed to start and end when particular patterns are seen among the plants and animals.
Happy to raise this for discussion somewhere else if you feel just as strongly. FropFrop ( talk) 22:15, 20 February 2024 (UTC)
information regarding plants and animals ... these things are inextricably linked— The seasons are characterised/determined by the behaviour of plants and animals, but not by what the Noongar call those plants and animals. Thus the Noongar names for the plants/animals are irrelevant to the definitions for the seasons - the English name will do just as well, and more meaningfully for the Anglophone reader. The purpose of the section is to explain the seasons, in English (the language that Enlish Wikipedia is written in), not to teach other Noongar words.

Hi Mitch, for no particular reason I was reading the Wikipedia talk:Meetup/Perth page just now and I noticed a strange controversy about whether the meetup in December was considered the 80th meetup or not.

Thanks for your contributions to Ringwood Field Naturalists Club. Unfortunately, I do not think it is ready for publishing at this time because it needs more sources to establish notability and per the consensus at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Ringwood Field Naturalists Club. I have converted your article to a draft which you can improve, undisturbed for a while.
