About 2025 Australia Day Honours - I must admit I'm not really sure about what to do with this
Hi mate,
It's only 2 Jan 2025 where we are, so Australia Day 2025 is still (Shirt58 counts on his fingers) 25 days away.
So: what to do here?
- send it to a notional Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/2025 Australia Day Honours with a WP:TOOSOON rationale?
- move it to Draft:2025 Australia Day Honours and wait until 2025 Australia Day actually happens?
- I guess it could possibly also attract a speedy deletion notification following WP:CRYSTALBALL and/or living people - yeah, the awards are going to happen, but who knows which living people they are going to awarded to?
I seek your opinions about this.
Pete AU aka Shirt58 (talk) 🦘 10:30, 2 January 2025 (UTC)
- I don't believe there is anything you need to do here, unless your suggesting the world is going to end before 25 January? I have an extensive history of making quality honours lists here. These specific (Australia Day) articles have been started at about the same time since 2010, with no complaint or issue raised, If anything only praise has come from setting up an easy to use template which resulted in this two years ago. I however won't object to it being moved to draft space, though I believe it's unnecessary. Nford24 (PE121 Personnel Request Form) 17:33, 2 January 2025 (UTC)
The article 2025 Special Honours has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
As per WP:CRYSTAL. Speculation as there haven't been any yet, nor does the article mention any are forthcoming.
While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. The C of E God Save the King!

Orphaned non-free image File:HMAS Canberra Ships Badge.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:HMAS Canberra Ships Badge.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of non-free use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).
Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 03:22, 12 February 2025 (UTC)

Unsure why edit was undone?
Hey there, just wondering why the postnominal was removed from my edit for the Australian of the Year recipients? Other people listed have their postnominals shown and there's plenty of supporting evidence. Such as https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Category:Companions_of_the_Order_of_Australia&from=S and https://www.abc.net.au/listen/programs/radionational-breakfast/dick-smith-named-a-companion-of-the/6528942 Maybe I didn't set it up right? If I'm not authorised to edit that page maybe someone who is authorised could correct it? Thanks very much! SunCamper (talk) 21:45, 23 January 2025 (UTC)
- Hello SunCamper, at the top of the article, immediately above the table is the line, "The post-nominals listed for each individual are as they were on the day they were named the Australian of the Year". Dick Smith was made the Australian of the Year in 1986 and then a Companion of the Order of Australia in 2015. Nford24 (PE121 Personnel Request Form) 03:09, 24 January 2025 (UTC)
- Thanks for clearing that up for me! SunCamper (talk) 04:00, 10 March 2025 (UTC)

Articles for Creation backlog drive
Hello Nford24:
WikiProject Articles for creation is holding a month long Backlog Drive in June!
The goal of this drive is to reduce the backlog of unreviewed drafts to less than 1 month of outstanding reviews from the current 3+ months. Bonus points will be given for reviewing drafts that have been waiting more than 30 days. The drive is running from 1 June 2025 through 30 June 2025.
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.
There is a backlog of over 3200 pages, so start reviewing drafts. We're looking forward to your help! MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 00:25, 20 May 2025 (UTC)
- If you wish to opt-out of future mailings, please remove yourself from the mailing list or alternatively to opt-out of all massmessage mailings, you may add Category:Wikipedians who opt out of message delivery to your user talk page.
File permission problem with File:Group Bravery Citation.png
Thanks for uploading File:Group Bravery Citation.png. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file has agreed to release it under the given license.
If you are the copyright holder for this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either
- make a note permitting reuse under the CC BY-SA or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or
- Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en@wikimedia.org, stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here. If you take this step, add {{permission pending}} to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.
If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-en@wikimedia.org.
If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:File copyright tags#Fair use, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See Wikipedia:File copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.
If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too. Here is a list of your uploads. Files lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described in section F11 of the criteria for speedy deletion. You may wish to read Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Sreejith K (talk) 19:09, 23 May 2025 (UTC)
