Should Riverina towns' talk pages be tagged with both Australian places and Riverina tags. See User talk:VirtualSteve#Riverina tags here for some earlier discussion.--Mattinbgn/ talk 12:11, 16 February 2007 (UTC)Reply
A couple of Riverina towns have double names, for example Beggan Beggan or Grong Grong. A category that includes these towns, Category:Double-named places in Australia is up for deletion at Categories for discussion and / or merger in the related discussion above which also suggests renaming.--Golden Wattle talk 20:27, 27 February 2007 (UTC)Reply
G'day. Here, have a pretty map. I've recently been working on articles on biogeographic regions of Western Australia; see for example Esperance Plains. I needed to create maps for these articles, so for the sake of consistency I created maps for every IBRA region; see Commons:IBRA. Do you folks know that there is an IBRA region named "Riverina", defined as
An ancient riverine plain and alluvial fans composed of unconsolidated sediments with evidence of former stream channels. The Murray and Murrumbidgee Rivers and their major tributaries, the Lachlan and Goulburn Rivers flow westwards across this plain. Vegetation consists of river red gum and black box forests, box woodlands, saltbush shrublands, extensive grasslands and swamp communities.[1]

Hey - that is a pretty map. Of course the damn bit of squiggly red line to the left of the main mass (along the Murray River I assume) might throw some of what we have done askew (except that we have debated the question to a final stage already) - especially because it encompasses an area which is also referred to as Sunraysia &/or Mallee and moves into South Australia. Seriously though - if you don't mind me being a bit critical of these maps in general (not just yours) I always find them so hard to work with when you want to pinpoint locations (towns, places, communities etc) on the edges - simply because there is nothing in them to easily identify exactly where all the edges stop and start. Rhetorically - the question seems always to be that I can take a look at the map and make a pretty good guess that Albury is in the middle bottom of the big red mass but for example is Bookham on the right hand edge or isn't it? --VS talk 12:55, 3 March 2007 (UTC)Reply
Certainly the IBRA information needs to be factored into the Riverina article. We already have a section on the bioregion from the NSW perspective - can't check yet if this coincides - assume so and we just need ot add reference ...--Golden Wattle talk 20:16, 3 March 2007 (UTC)Reply
Just a heads up that the anon editor is banned. Reference Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration/Gundagai editors. The decision was The anonymous Gundagai editor is banned from editing Wikipedia for one year. That means revert on sight. She basically tried to introduce unsubstantiated facts in a very disruptive way.--Golden Wattle talk 20:40, 5 March 2007 (UTC)Reply
Riverina is now rated as GA class. Well done to all involved.--Mattinbgn/ talk 09:43, 8 March 2007 (UTC)Reply
I note that some of the other Australian WikiProjects have ranked their articles in terms of their importance to the sub project rather than to WP Australia as a whole. Do we want to head down that path and if so, what would we rank as Top, High, Mid and Low. Riverina would be classed as Top but what else? --Mattinbgn/ talk 05:35, 22 April 2007 (UTC)Reply
{{WP Australia|class=|importance=<!-- Wikiproject specific tags -->
|Riverina=yes|Riverina-importance=}}
I have adjusted Talk:Riverina as an example. --VS talk 12:25, 22 April 2007 (UTC)Reply
Thanks Steve. The updated table looks good and to my mind seems to show we have made a lot of headway since we started unofficially on the Riverina project as weel as guidance on what to do next. On another point, going through this has given me a chance to think about the Riverina article again. It may be worth taking it to peer review to set it up for an attempt at WP:FAC. It would be great for the project to have a featured article. What do you think? --Mattinbgn/ talk 08:06, 24 April 2007 (UTC)Reply

Hi there, I have been working through suburbs of Blacktown using PeterJeremy's suggested Suburb Skeleton.
An example of an article fleshed out fully from online reference to government websites is Blackett, New South Wales. Any comments regarding using the same "template" for "Suburbs of Wagga"? Garrie 05:10, 29 June 2007 (UTC)Reply
Is there still interest in a stub types for locations in the Riverina? I'm not quite clear how well-defined or "official" a region it is, but it seems to be the best-categorised of the NSW regions, of whatever sort. As the parent is over-sized, I think I'll float this over at WP:WSS/P... Alai 20:35, 28 September 2007 (UTC)Reply
I have nominated Riverina for FA status. Discussion can be found here. I hope this is not premature. -- Mattinbgn\talk 21:32, 30 October 2007 (UTC)Reply
Prompted by the comments on the FA discussion and also by the task list, I have started an article on the Wemba-Wemba. I noticed Mattinbgn had started the article on the Nari-Nari recently. A heap more to do in this area including pulling it together and making sense of it.--Golden Wattle talk 00:18, 1 November 2007 (UTC)Reply
For your information Gundagai, New South Wales has been nominated by User:Roister for Wikipedia:Australian Collaboration of the Fortnight. All has been quiet for some time on the editing front for this article and it would be good to develop it to the next level.

As you may have heard, we at the Wikipedia 1.0 Editorial Team recently made some changes to the assessment scale, including the addition of a new level. The new description is available at WP:ASSESS.
Each WikiProject should already have a new C-Class category at Category:C-Class_articles. If your project elects not to use the new level, you can simply delete your WikiProject's C-Class category and clarify any amendments on your project's assessment/discussion pages. The bot is already finding and listing C-Class articles.
Please leave a message with us if you have any queries regarding the introduction of the revised scheme. This scheme should allow the team to start producing offline selections for your project and the wider community within the next year. Thanks for using the Wikipedia 1.0 scheme!

Wikipedia 0.7 is a collection of English Wikipedia articles due to be released on DVD, and available for free download, later this year. The Wikipedia:Version 1.0 Editorial Team has made an automated selection of articles for Version 0.7.
We would like to ask you to review the articles selected from this project. These were chosen from the articles with this project's talk page tag, based on the rated importance and quality. If there are any specific articles that should be removed, please let us know at Wikipedia talk:Version 0.7. You can also nominate additional articles for release, following the procedure at Wikipedia:Release Version Nominations.
Alist of selected articles with cleanup tags, sorted by project, is available. The list is automatically updated each hour when it is loaded. Please try to fix any urgent problems in the selected articles. A team of copyeditors has agreed to help with copyediting requests, although you should try to fix simple issues on your own if possible.
We would also appreciate your help in identifying the version of each article that you think we should use, to help avoid vandalism or POV issues. These versions can be recorded at this project's subpageofUser:SelectionBot/0.7. We are planning to release the selection for the holiday season, so we ask you to select the revisions before October 20. At that time, we will use an automatic process to identify which version of each article to release, if no version has been manually selected. Thanks!

Hi! I'd like to draw your attention to the new WikiProject coordinators' working group, an effort to bring both official and unofficial WikiProject coordinators together so that the projects can more easily develop consensus and collaborate. This group has been created after discussion regarding possible changes to the A-Class review system, and that may be one of the first things discussed by interested coordinators.
All designated project coordinators are invited to join this working group. If your project hasn't formally designated any editors as coordinators, but you are someone who regularly deals with coordination tasks in the project, please feel free to join as well. — Delievered by §hepBot (Disable) on behalf of the WikiProject coordinators' working group at 06:26, 28 February 2009 (UTC)Reply
This is a notice to let you know about Article alerts, a fully-automated subscription-based news delivery system designed to notify WikiProjects and Taskforces when articles are entering Articles for deletion, Requests for comment, Peer review and other workflows (full list). The reports are updated on a daily basis, and provide brief summaries of what happened, with relevant links to discussion or results when possible. A certain degree of customization is available; WikiProjects and Taskforces can choose which workflows to include, have individual reports generated for each workflow, have deletion discussion transcluded on the reports, and so on. An example of a customized report can be found here.
If you are already subscribed to Article Alerts, it is now easier to report bugs and request new features. We are also in the process of implementing a "news system", which would let projects know about ongoing discussions on a wikipedia-wide level, and other things of interest. The developers also note that some subscribing WikiProjects and Taskforces use the display=none
parameter, but forget to give a link to their alert page. Your alert page should be located at "Wikipedia:PROJECT-OR-TASKFORCE-HOMEPAGE/Article alerts". Questions and feedback should be left at Wikipedia talk:Article alerts.

This message is being sent to each WikiProject that participates in the WP 1.0 assessment system. On Saturday, January 23, 2010, the WP 1.0 bot will be upgraded. Your project does not need to take any action, but the appearance of your project's summary table will change. The upgrade will make many new, optional features available to all WikiProjects. Additional information is available at the WP 1.0 project homepage. — Carl (CBM · talk) 03:51, 22 January 2010 (UTC)Reply
User:DASHBot/Wikiprojects provides a list, updated daily, of unreferenced living people articles (BLPs) related to your project. There has been a lot of discussion recently about deleting these unreferenced articles, so it is important that these articles are referenced.
The unreferenced articles related to your project can be found at >>>Wikipedia:WikiProject Riverina/Unreferenced BLPs<<<
If you do not want this wikiproject to participate, please add your project name to this list.
Thank you.
Version 0.8 is a collection of Wikipedia articles selected by the Wikipedia 1.0 team for offline release on USB key, DVD and mobile phone. Articles were selected based on their assessed importance and quality, then article versions (revisionIDs) were chosen for trustworthiness (freedom from vandalism) using an adaptation of the WikiTrust algorithm.
We would like to ask you to review the Riverina articles and revisionIDs we have chosen. Selected articles are marked with a diamond symbol (♦) to the right of each article, and this symbol links to the selected version of each article. If you believe we have included or excluded articles inappropriately, please contact us at Wikipedia talk:Version 0.8 with the details. You may wish to look at your WikiProject's articles with cleanup tags and try to improve any that need work; if you do, please give us the new revisionID at Wikipedia talk:Version 0.8. We would like to complete this consultation period by midnight UTC on Monday, October 11th.
We have greatly streamlined the process since the Version 0.7 release, so we aim to have the collection ready for distribution by the end of October, 2010. As a result, we are planning to distribute the collection much more widely, while continuing to work with groups such as One Laptop per Child and Wikipedia for Schools to extend the reach of Wikipedia worldwide. Please help us, with your WikiProject's feedback!

I have created together with Smallman12q a toolserver tool that shows a weekly-updated list of cleanup categories for WikiProjects, that can be used as a replacement for WolterBot and this WikiProject is among those that are already included (because it is a member of Category:WolterBot cleanup listing subscriptions).

Hello there! As you may already know, most WikiProjects here on Wikipedia struggle to stay active after they've been founded. I believe there is a lot of potential for WikiProjects to facilitate collaboration across subject areas, so I have submitted a grant proposal with the Wikimedia Foundation for the "WikiProject X" project. WikiProject X will study what makes WikiProjects succeed in retaining editors and then design a prototype WikiProject system that will recruit contributors to WikiProjects and help them run effectively. Please review the proposal here and leave feedback. If you have any questions, you can ask on the proposal page or leave a message on my talk page. Thank you for your time! (Also, sorry about the posting mistake earlier. If someone already moved my message to the talk page, feel free to remove this posting.) Harej (talk) 22:48, 1 October 2014 (UTC)Reply
Hello everyone!
You may have received a message from me earlier asking you to comment on my WikiProject X proposal. The good news is that WikiProject X is now live! In our first phase, we are focusing on research. At this time, we are looking for people to share their experiences with WikiProjects: good, bad, or neutral. We are also looking for WikiProjects that may be interested in trying out new tools and layouts that will make participating easier and projects easier to maintain. If you or your WikiProject are interested, check us out! Note that this is an opt-in program; no WikiProject will be required to change anything against its wishes. Please let me know if you have any questions. Thank you!
Note: To receive additional notifications about WikiProject X on this talk page, please add this page to Wikipedia:WikiProject X/Newsletter. Otherwise, this will be the last notification sent about WikiProject X.
Our first Australian conference for Wikipedians/Wikimedians will be held 3-5 October 2015. Organised by Wikimedia Australia, there will be a 2-day conference (Saturday 3 October and Sunday 4 October) with an optional 3rd day (Monday 5 October) for specialist topics (unconference discussions, training sessions, etc). The venue is the State Library of QueenslandinBrisbane. So put those dates in your diary! Note: Monday is a public holiday is some states but not others. Read about it here: WikiConference Australia 2015
As part of that page, there are now sections for you to:
It would really help our planning if you could let us know about possible attendance and the kind of topics that would make you want to come. If you don’t want to express your views on-wiki, please email me at kerry.raymond@wikimedia.org.au or committee@wikimedia.org.au
We are hoping to have travel subsidies available to assist active Australasian Wikipedians to attend the conference, although we are not currently in a position to provide details, but be assured we are doing everything we can to make it possible for active Australian Wikipedians to come to the conference.

Hello and greetings from the maintainers of the WP 1.0 Bot! As you may or may not know, we are currently involved in an overhaul of the bot, in order to make it more modern and maintainable. As part of this process, we will be rewriting the web tool that is part of the project. You might have noticed this tool if you click through the links on the project assessment summary tables.
We'd like to collect information on how the current tool is used by....you! How do you yourself and the other maintainers of your project use the web tool? Which of its features do you need? How frequently do you use these features? And what features is the tool missing that would be useful to you? We have collected all of these questions at this Google form where you can leave your response. Walkerma (talk) 04:24, 27 October 2019 (UTC)Reply
I have (with the help of others) made a small user script to detect and highlight various links to unreliable sources and predatory journals. Some of you may already be familiar with it, given it is currently the 39th most imported script on Wikipedia. The idea is that it takes something like
John Smith "[https://www.deprecated.com/article Article of things]" ''Deprecated.com''. Accessed 2020-02-14.
)and turns it into something like
It will work on a variety of links, including those from {{cite web}}, {{cite journal}} and {{doi}}.
The script is mostly based on WP:RSPSOURCES, WP:NPPSG and WP:CITEWATCH and a good dose of common sense. I'm always expanding coverage and tweaking the script's logic, so general feedback and suggestions to expand coverage to other unreliable sources are always welcomed.
Do note that this is not a script to be mindlessly used, and several caveats apply. Details and instructions are available at User:Headbomb/unreliable. Questions, comments and requests can be made at User talk:Headbomb/unreliable.
