Stub categories - yet more things I didn't know, and thank you for that[edit]
Hi Jarrah Tree,
We've both been around a long time, but here you pointed out something I was quite unaware of.
Thank you again.
(For people who may have this watchlisted, Jarrah Tree was the first user to welcome me when I had pretty much no idea what Wikipedia was about back in 2007. This sort of collegial work is what makes me stay here.)

Military History assessments[edit]
Hi, I notice that you have been updating a lot of Wikiproject banners, which included removing the Military History quality assessment rating. However, the Military History project asked to keep a separate rating to the centralised rating used by other projects. I don't believe there has been consensus to adopt the central rating, so you need to retain the Military History rating, even if it matches the central rating.

Leonard Mann Copyright Problem[edit]
I certainly used the ADB page for my updates of the Leonard Mann page but thought I'd shifted things around enough to be abe to get by, but their edit bots must have hit a limit in terms of the copied phrases. I'll work around it.
I'm not discouraged by this. It's more the endless back-and-for arguments with disruptive editors that get nowhere that used to wear me down. But I'm retired now and have more time to work on stuff. Stay tuned. Perry Middlemiss (talk) 20:43, 26 April 2024 (UTC)
cite check[edit]
Could you check this please. I can't see enough detail at https://search.worldcat.org/title/6022541863 or https://search.worldcat.org/formats-editions/6022541863 to verify the month, but we need to do something to fix the warning in [3] - if nothing else, just change it to "year".

Indigenous Australian identity[edit]
@JarrahTree Hi. Out of curiosity, how does one verify Indigenous identity in an Australian context? In the US and Canada, there are things like tribal rolls, tribal citizenship, etc that can be used to verify whether a person is of Indigenous heritage or not. I've seen news articles about people pretending to be Aboriginal; that's rampant in North America. What criteria determines Indigeneity in Australia, aside from self-identification?

I have so much thank you for your conversation with me.[edit]
Did you remember 2 months ago at Feb 27th, 2024? You have congratulated me because I'm a new user at Wikipedia. You know, I thanked you because of your happiest conversation to me? Yeah, actually, thanks. Arief Azazie Zain (talk) 06:45, 12 May 2024 (UTC)
The Mount Magnet Leader and Youanmi Miner[edit]
Thanks for your edits to the article I created, The Mount Magnet Leader and Youanmi Miner. I had a question though. Is the "See also" section necessary? There's only one linked article and I had added the category Newspapers of the Mid West region of Western Australia which includes Mid West newspapers, the article linked in see also. I'm happy to leave it as-is, I was just asking for the future as you're a more experienced editor.
I noticed from your userpage you also contribute to Trove. I just joined today and am really intrested in Australian history so I think it's a site I'll be spending a lot of time at. Do you think it's worth fixing the transcription for all of the articles I use as sources? I plan on contributing as and when I can but it can take some time (e.g. I barely corrected a quarter of this article and that took about half an hour). I just wonder if it would be worth taking the extra time routinely for articles referenced on Wikipedia, for example when people are checking references verify what's in the article.

Comment about comments about RfC: Inclusion of Noongar words[edit]
Quoting from [4] ...
I think from having watched without being involved ...
Please consider (next time, because this RfC is now closed) doing one of the following:
- Get involved. Express an opinion one way or another on the actual topic being discussed (not a meta-comment on the futility of the discussion), add your not-vote, link to relevant policies or guidelines etc, be part of the process.
or
- Shut up and stay out of it completely.
If you have an actual constructive suggestion about improving the article, or the RfC process, feel free to mention it at the appropriate time and place. Mitch Ames (talk) 13:45, 16 May 2024 (UTC)
