Murrumbidgee River railway bridge, Narrandera

Hi, Bidgee! Given you are sort-of local to this area, I was wondering if you might be able to help me sort out a situation involving a former railway bridge. We have the article Murrumbidgee River railway bridge, Narrandera which was based on a NSW State Heritage Register entry with this photo. Over on Commons, there is a category commons:Category:Narrandera railway bridge but I am unsure if these Commons photos are really of the bridge in the Misplaced Pages article. Both claim to be railway bridges in Narrandera on the Tocumwal line, but visually they look too different to me to be the same bridge. Indeed, I am not even sure that the 3 photos in the commons category are actually of the same bridge. So I thought maybe you might have local knowledge than can resolve the matter. Thanks Kerry (talk) 01:31, 28 February 2019 (UTC)

@Kerry Raymond: Not the bridge but it is connected to the bridge, it is the viaduct that runs south of the river bridge which is constructed over the flood plain in Gillenbah. Section of it was removed over Sturt Highway to allow for "tall" vehicles. Bidgee (talk) 02:33, 28 February 2019 (UTC)

Tutorial 4 - Week 6 (11-1 pm)

The demonstration during the lesson was very useful and I was able to apply it. Things I have gained from the demonstration:--Olesmod2019 (talk) 01:22, 1 April 2019 (UTC)

-good understanding on Misplaced Pages formatting

-good understanding on how a Misplaced Pages page should look like

Lamington photos

I see you are updating the lamington photo. Do you want me to do this using AutoWikiBrowser once I am home (in the airport waiting for my flight ATM). there are thousands of them because of its use in the welcome template so I think it needs some semi-automated horsepower behind the task. Kerry (talk) 05:51, 6 April 2019 (UTC)

Might be quicker than the bot move request on Commons! :/ If you could do that, it would be much appreciated! Bidgee (talk) 09:51, 6 April 2019 (UTC)

I've done the ones with user names but I haven't done the ones with IP addresses. There's about 600 of them and I wonder if it is worth bothering with them. Kerry (talk) 03:02, 7 April 2019 (UTC)

All done now. Kerry (talk) 07:42, 8 April 2019 (UTC)

Hotel Hollywood

Hey Bidgee, can you take a look at my user page. I need some help. I created an article on the iconic Hotel Hollywood. Now I made a mistake and posted a draft with the name Hollywood Hotel, within hours the submission was declined due to too many issues with tonality, reading like an advertisement and not enough independent sources, I am a bit gobsmacked to be honest (somewhat offended). Anyway I need to delete that page with the wrong title and I have published the new one for review. I just want someone else to look at it as I cannot see how it reads as an advert. Significant is that the publican died last week and she was a sydney icon. https://en.wikipedia.org/Draft:Hotel_Hollywood pretty please --Carrolquadrio (talk) 05:54, 3 August 2019 (UTC)

@Carrolquadrio: I think change the article name from the hotel to Draft:Doris Goddard and the change the lead/introduction text to focused more on Doris, as the article currently largely focuses on Doris and have a subsection on the hotel. Not seeing any "advertisement issues" and "not enough independent sources" is a typical flag some people fly when they don't like an article. The building itself is listed on the City of Sydney Local Environmental Plan (There is a little information on Office of Environment & Heritage). Bidgee (talk) 11:32, 3 August 2019 (UTC)

Thanks, I thought about making the Doris page and then changed tactic but I agree. Do you think it is worthwhile making two seperate articles as Hotel Hollywood is notable enough in it's own right (architecture, history, not to mention its niche clientele ). Hope you are well. thanks.Sending a beer :) --Carrolquadrio (talk) 13:35, 3 August 2019 (UTC)

No problem, I've made some fixes and also added a photo of the hotel. I'll try and watch what happens though a little busy with CSU, WMAU AGM and my trip next week. Bidgee (talk) 10:04, 4 August 2019 (UTC)

Disputed non-free use rationale for File:Woolworths-Everyday-Rewards.png

Thank you for uploading File:Woolworths-Everyday-Rewards.png. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this file on Misplaced Pages may not meet the criteria required by Misplaced Pages:Non-free content. This can be corrected by going to the file description page and adding or clarifying the reason why the file qualifies under this policy. Adding and completing one of the templates available from Misplaced Pages:Non-free use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your file is in compliance with Misplaced Pages policy. Please be aware that a non-free use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for files used under the non-free content policy require both a copyright tag and a non-free use rationale.

If it is determined that the file does not qualify under the non-free content policy, it might be deleted by an administrator seven days after the file was tagged in accordance with section F7 of the criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions, please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you.

busy?

you are always... JarrahTree 09:28, 12 January 2020 (UTC)

Didn't have a chance to add it. Two day break is over and back to loading aircraft for the fourth straight week. Bidgee (talk) 09:35, 12 January 2020 (UTC)

Greyhound Australia

Are you repeatedly re-tagging this article for rewrite, undue weight, neutrality and encyclopedic tone because you don't like one sentence which no one was arguing with you about? If that's all it is, why don't you just remove the sentence? What's with the attitude about this? I'm sure I've interacted with you before and not known you as someone to fly off the handle for no reason so I'm just plain baffled. The Drover's Wife (talk) 13:33, 20 February 2020 (UTC)

It isn't just because of one sentence. Secondly I'm sick of people using Misplaced Pages as an advertising platform, including political, by inserting POV and undue content to further their agenda. To me it seems that you are following after the note left in RSN a few days ago, waiting for something that is controversial. You cannot say the article doesn't need a clean up, history is a bit of a mess. Bidgee (talk) 13:43, 20 February 2020 (UTC)

I'm so confused. What note in WP:RSN? The only edit of yours I can see on anything I've touched there is "I have posted on the 2019–20 Australian bushfire season due to content that has been removed and re-added to the article. Bidgee (talk) 10:31, 16 February 2020 (UTC)", which isn't exactly grudgematch material, not least since it doesn't disagree with anything I'd said. I looked at the edits because Greyhound Australia, like most Australian articles is on my watchlist. Can you give me an example of what about that history section is a mess? We certainly have many articles where people use Misplaced Pages as an advertising platform by inserting POV and undue content, but I cannot for the life of me see what is wrong with this one. Everything seems to be sourced and nothing stands out as problematic about from the one sentence in the lede you already highlighted. The Drover's Wife (talk) 14:01, 20 February 2020 (UTC)

looks good

the newbie template is good !!! JarrahTree 00:35, 2 March 2020 (UTC)

2019–20 Australian bushfire season

Can you please add your thoughts to discussion on the Talk page re the end of the fire season? I am never comfortable taking on my perennial stalker alone. HiLo48 (talk) 07:46, 4 March 2020 (UTC)

Stalker? Geez, our interactions are pretty bloody rare nowadays. I don't haunt your talk page, I don't follow your contributions. Nothing good comes of that. This is editing business. Nothing personal, HiLo. BTW, this looks a bit like canvassing to me. --Pete (talk) 04:38, 5 March 2020 (UTC)

Exactly how many times, HiLo? Count them, it's hardly an incredible number. For both of us it's far more likely we'll edit something and the other has never looked at it and never will. I've got a watchlist of several thousand articles, and I'll check through them regularly. Given the number of times we've come into contact over the years, it's reasonable that we have some cross-over in interests.

Seriously, I'm not trying to get your goat or make your life difficult. I like to think I'm old enough to see that as pointless and counterproductive. I prefer to get on with other editors. And to get on with other things. Perhaps we can treat each other with civility, use wiki-policy to make the best encyclopaedia we can and to enjoy our time here? I'd much rather take pleasure in my volunteer work here than be grumpy and churlish. Footbump? --Pete (talk) 09:54, 5 March 2020 (UTC)

I apologise Bidgee. I tried to keep your page sane, but some interference from elsewhere seems to have made a real mess of this. I give up. HiLo48 (talk) 09:56, 5 March 2020 (UTC)
