Clayton or Clayton Bay[edit]

An article has been created on Clayton Bay, South Australia. Looking at Google Maps, they call the town Clayton, South Australia. Can a local provide the correct name of the town please? -- Mattinbgn\talk 20:29, 22 July 2008 (UTC)

Victor Harbor[edit]

I found City of Victor Harbor inexplicably not a link on Template:Local Government Areas of South Australia and redlinked on Alexandrina Council, so I started to created it as a #REDIRECT to Victor Harbor, South Australia. Then I discovered that page had previously existed and been deleted with these logs showing on the create page:

Is there any good reason why this should not be a redirect? YBG (talk) 08:15, 30 April 2009 (UTC)

It is not a redirect because City of Victor Harbor is a separate entity to Victor Harbor, South Australia. The former is a Local Government Area and the latter is a locality. See City of Port Lincoln and Port Lincoln, South Australia for an example of how this works practically. I don't know why there has not been an article created before now but I see no reason not to create one. I don't know why it is not linked on {{Local Government Areas of South Australia}}; I see no problem with linking it. Creating a redirect from an LGA to a locality article can confuse two separate entities. -- Mattinbgn\talk 09:05, 30 April 2009 (UTC)
Thanks for the explanation! YBG (talk) 05:29, 1 May 2009 (UTC)
Just wrote an article for it. It's a bit reliant on the council's own home page but the info is uncontroversial so saw little problem with this. Orderinchaos 09:22, 1 May 2009 (UTC)

Localities navbars[edit]

I've been creating locality navbars here for those South Australian LGAs that don't already have one. In many cases, there are just enough blue links to justify transferring a navbar from my Userspace into Template-space. In some cases, though, all (or the great majority) of consituent localities to an LGA are redlinks.

I'm wondering, therefore, if anyone would like to create the various locality articles; bluelinking the redlinks, as it were?

Also, on a similar (but separate) tangent, does anyone think it would be best if those navbars which are still full of redlinks be moved into some subpage of this (or a related) project. People would be more likely to find them that way, thus (possibly) avoiding recreating something that already exists?

Thank you. LordVetinari 03:09, 20 June 2011 (UTC)

Speaking to my own work in Queensland (cf. Bundaberg Central, Queensland), I don't think blue links vs red links really matters, as long as there's at least one blue link. Orderinchaos 03:59, 20 June 2011 (UTC)
My usual threshold for moving templates out of userspace is for there to be about 3-5 bluelinks, depending on total qty of links. However, if, as you say, one bluelink is fine, then I have no complaint with only creating a couple stubs myself. Thanks for the Bundaberg Central link. If you don't mind, I'll use that as a guide. I think my main concern was that I've come across complaints against such hugely redlinked templates in the past and I didn't want to have to risk that. I presume this case whould be fine, though, as localities appear to have inherent notability. Anyway, thanks for your help. LordVetinari 04:20, 20 June 2011 (UTC)
Dear LordVetinari, I'm quite happy to volunteer to create articles for the LGA navbars. I've actually started (see:Barinia). It may take a while, as I don't go on to Wikipedia as much as I used to, but over a period of time I'm sure I can work my way through them. Let me know if you and the rest of the group are happy for me to start on that. Marionlad (talk) 01:52, 6 July 2011 (UTC)
Thank you. The more of us who work on them, the better. LordVetinari 09:53, 6 July 2011 (UTC)
Why not group several of these together, for example, one navbar for Eyre Peninsula with a group for City of Port Lincoln suburbs, another group for City of Whyalla suburbs, etc. YBG (talk) 06:11, 6 July 2011 (UTC)
I was pondering that but won't the qty of redlinks be emphasised by such grouping? LordVetinari 09:53, 6 July 2011 (UTC)
I'm not sure how clearly regions are defined in SA - WA, whose population structure is not dissimilar to SA, has regions defined in legislation, and its Wikipedians have taken advantage of this for the infoboxes. An example is at 1 or 2. (Note that larger centres have their own - e.g. 3 (suburb of Albany) - in one LGA - or 4 (suburb of Bunbury) - split across four.). Orderinchaos 09:28, 6 July 2011 (UTC)
The regions listed at Local government areas of South Australia are simply those used by the Local Government Association of South Australia. Outside of that organisation, I don't think those regional designations have any other official standing. I opted to use those regions as they were relevant and it offers an external source to point to in case other users dispute which region in which a council area is lcoated.

Wikimedians to the Games: South Australia events[edit]

If you're participating or considering in participating in Wikimedians to the Games, you may be interested in attending the events below. They may provide an opportunity to get information to write a Wikinews article or to take pictures for points on Commons. If you're not participating, it would still be great to see people attending these events to take pictures for use on Wikipedia and Wikinews. If you do decide to attend, consider hosting a Wikimedia meetup at the end or the evening of the event, or even just letting HOPAU organisers know you are planning to attend. If you leave a message on my talk page, I can help you promote the meetup. :) If you need help with organising attendance because of transport cost issues or accessibility in terms of wanting press access, again please get in touch. :) --LauraHale (talk) 06:58, 18 February 2012 (UTC)

WikiProject Australian Roads[edit]

Hi folks - anyone with any interest - there is a new Australian project Wikipedia:WikiProject Australian Roads - please have a look. sats 02:02, 7 April 2013 (UTC)

City of Adelaide[edit]

Members of this Project may be interested in a proposal to improve the article on the clipper ship City of Adelaide in time for the ship's planned arrival in Australia in February. See Talk:City of Adelaide (1864). Thanks, Jonathan Oldenbuck (talk) 11:21, 15 November 2013 (UTC)

Wiki Loves Pride 2014[edit]

You are invited to participate in Wiki Loves Pride 2014, a campaign to create and improve LGBT-related content at Wikipedia and its sister projects.

All constructive edits are welcome in order to contribute to Wikipedia's mission of providing quality, accurate information. Articles within Category:LGBT in Oceania may be of particular interest. You can also upload LGBT-related images by participating in Wikimedia Commons' LGBT-related photo challenge. You are encouraged to share the results of your work here. Happy editing! --Another Believer (Talk) 20:25, 5 June 2014 (UTC)

Comment on the WikiProject X proposal[edit]

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)
