[edit]Hi Viatori. Thank you for your work on Peter Cox (mayor). Another editor, Klbrain, has reviewed it as part of new pages patrol and left the following comment:
Thanks for creating this biography. Sufficient media coverage to support notability, couple with the history of being a city Mayor with national recognition through the award of OAM.

Ways to improve The Truth of the Matter
[edit]Hello, Viatori,
Thank you for creating The Truth of the Matter.
I have tagged the page as having some issues to fix, as a part of our page curation process and note that:
Whitlam is notable, and the dismissal is notable, but both are well-covered elsewhere. What's needed now is evidence that the book is independently notable - adding reviews of the book (from reliable sources); or did it win significant awards?
The tags can be removed by you or another editor once the issues they mention are addressed. If you have questions, leave a comment here and begin it with {{Re|Klbrain}}

[edit]Hi Viatori. Thank you for your work on James Burgess (trade unionist). Another editor, Klbrain, has reviewed it as part of new pages patrol and left the following comment:
Thank you for creating this interesting and well-written biography of a trade union figure and local politician. It would be helpful to have this linked from other pages in order to allow users to find this content more easily.

Murray-sunset
[edit]Hi, do you have any sources for the claim that Murray-sunset is lowercase for the sunset? Can't see any in the refs in the article. The-Pope (talk) 13:08, 8 January 2025 (UTC)
- @The-Pope Hi, that is my bad, I assumed that the source in the article was for the 2021 census, where the ABS records it with the lowercase, the reference is instead of the 2016 census. Thanks for picking up on that, I'll update the reference when I get home. Viatori (talk) 13:39, 8 January 2025 (UTC)

Move that you supported
[edit]You have supported the move of Adelaide Lead, Victoria. However, I think you should retract this support because
- The original person who asked for the move now opposes it. They would be able to create a new move that has less errors if they could close the move, but they can't because you support it.
- The original person who proposed the move now opposes it because user Dfadden posted the following argument, which is quite convincing:
"Oppose After a more thorough analysis, I'm am now firmly opposed to a blanket approval of all the requested moves. In addition to the potential conflicts detailed above, there are:
- Badger Creek, Victoria - Three other articles for watercourses in the USA named Badger Creek, in addition to an article for the Badger Creek Wilderness in Oregon, USA which is of similar length and quality. There are sufficient articles that the term "Badger Creek" requires a disambiguation page. There may be a case for WP:PRIMARYTOPIC, but to consider true consensus, this should be discussed with the input of editors from the USA.
- Double Bridges, Victoria - the Battle of Sailor's Creek during the American Civil War that is known by the alternative name Battle of Double Bridges. There is also a historic landmark in the Chinese town of Zhouzhuang that is referred to in English as "Double Bridges". Since the Victorian article is for an unpopulated locality with no references other than ABS census data, I dont think Chinese or American audiences would see this as more significant or notable.
- Bellbridge, Victoria - While spelled with a space Bell Bridge is an article about a historic bridge in Nebraska. It is entirely conceivable that someone looking for Bell bridge could omit the space, or vice versa, so disambiguation makes sense in this case.
- Parkers Corner, Victoria - There are communities called Parkers Corners (with an "S") in both Michigan USA and Ontario Canada. Currently, "Parkers Corners" redirects to Iosco Township, Michigan. Again, it is entirely possible that someone searching for the North American communities could omit the S, so disambiguation helps the usability of the encyclopedia.
- Murchison East, Victoria - There is an article for a locality called East Murchison, Western Australia. I think in this case, the Victorian suburb would clearly be the more significant place, but there is no harm in disambiguation to prevent any confusion.
- Leonards Hill, Victoria - There are no other places by the same name, but there are many articles titled Leonard Hill, which requires a disambiguation page that mentions the Victorian village. Arguably many of the people named Leonard Hill are much much more notable than a tiny village in Victoria, so I suspect more people would be searching for them.
- Beech Forest, Victoria - There are articles for both Beech–maple forest and the English Lowlands beech forests - the latter is by far more notable that a village in rural Victoria, and it is highly unlikely someone outside of Victoria who searches "beech forest" is looking for this place over actual Beech forests, or the European Environment Agency defined bioregion.
- Serviceton, Victoria - I actually support removing the disambiguation on this one, simply to avoid antagonising any South Australians that might be reading this ;)
- I do think some of the concerns above can be resolved using hatnotes. However, procedurally this should be agreed before the move, and proper consultation done in the case of Badger Creek in particular. That is not realistic with such a large list of proposed moves, therefore I suggest relisting with the articles I have listed above omitted, lest this becomes a trainwreck and is closed as a procedural keep."
