[edit] Stub templates

Discussion on the naming of stub templates relating to this and other Australian city wikiprojects is in progress at WP:WSS/P#Australian cities. Feel free to comment. Grutness...wha? 01:40, 23 September 2005 (UTC)

You now have a brand new {{Hobart-stub}}, which feeds into Cat:Hobart stubs! Hope it's helpful! Grutness...wha? 10:00, 10 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Wikipedia:Version 1.0 Editorial Team cooperation

Hello. I'm a member of the Version 1.0 Editorial Team, which is looking to identify quality articles in Wikipedia for future publication on CD or paper. We recently began assessing articles using these criteria, and we are are asking for your help. As you are most aware of the issues surrounding your focus area, we are wondering if you could provide us with a list of the articles that fall within the scope of your WikiProject, and that are either featured, A-class, B-class, or Good articles, with no POV or copyright problems. Do you have any recommendations? If you do, please post your suggestions at the listing of all active Places WikiProjects, and if you have any questions, ask me in the Work Via WikiProjects talk page or directly in my talk page. Thanks a lot! Titoxd(?!? - help us) 18:26, 23 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Project directory

Hello. The WikiProject Council has recently updated the Wikipedia:WikiProject Council/Directory. This new directory includes a variety of categories and subcategories which will, with luck, potentially draw new members to the projects who are interested in those specific subjects. Please review the directory and make any changes to the entries for your project that you see fit. There is also a directory of portals, at User:B2T2/Portal, listing all the existing portals. Feel free to add any of them to the portals or comments section of your entries in the directory. The three columns regarding assessment, peer review, and collaboration are included in the directory for both the use of the projects themselves and for that of others. Having such departments will allow a project to more quickly and easily identify its most important articles and its articles in greatest need of improvement. If you have not already done so, please consider whether your project would benefit from having departments which deal in these matters. It is my hope that all the changes to the directory can be finished by the first of next month. Please feel free to make any changes you see fit to the entries for your project before then. If you should have any questions regarding this matter, please do not hesitate to contact me. Thank you. B2T2 16:27, 25 October 2006 (UTC)


[edit] Following expansion

Tasmania historically has had many divisions due to tourism promotion maps, local government divisions, government service boundaries, etc - like north-west, north and south (Telstra sensis phone books?) - sometimes just north, south - west. In the case of the project - it would be good to get a sense of what divisions this project might take - actually there is a good article in regional rivalries between the three regions for a start. It would be good to see what others might think on this SatuSuro 02:50, 29 December 2006 (UTC)

Postcodes and area codes broadly follow this. 002 -> 0362 takes in Hobart, New Norfolk and the Tasman Peninsula, 003 -> 0363 takes in Launceston and the northeast and 004 --> 0364 takes in Burnie, Devonport and the north and west more broadly. Postcodes - 70 and 71 cover the south, 72 the northeast and 73 and 74 the northwest and west. I'm not sure quite where on the Midlands and Bass Highways the dividing lines are though in a cultural sense (i.e. where they stop drinking Cascasdes and start downing Boags :) Orderinchaos78 14:44, 29 December 2006 (UTC)
Woa - you forget the west coast in all of this - you tread on very sensitive ground here.... SatuSuro 14:49, 29 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] W

Hello, all. It was initially my hope to try to have this done as part of Esperanza's proposal for an appreciation week to end on Wikipedia Day, January 15. However, several people have once again proposed the entirety of Esperanza for deletion, so that might not work. It was the intention of the Appreciation Week proposal to set aside a given time when the various individuals who have made significant, valuable contributions to the encyclopedia would be recognized and honored. I believe that, with some effort, this could still be done. My proposal is to, with luck, try to organize the various WikiProjects and other entities of wikipedia to take part in a larger celebrartion of its contributors to take place in January, probably beginning January 15, 2007. I have created yet another new subpage for myself (a weakness of mine, I'm afraid) at User talk:Badbilltucker/Appreciation Week where I would greatly appreciate any indications from the members of this project as to whether and how they might be willing and/or able to assist in recognizing the contributions of our editors. Thank you for your attention. Badbilltucker 20:09, 29 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] PLEASE NOTE

To anyone considering creating stubs for this project - please read Wikipedia:WikiProject Stub sorting carefully - regarding processes involved - so as to avoid issues with WP WSS D (which can mean both discovery and delete :) ) SatuSuro 02:21, 2 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Category:Mayors and Lord Mayors of Hobart

[edit] Geography article naming

OK I am just starting to update Tasmanian articles, especially Mountains, but am perplexed as to why the standard for Tassie is to use 'Name (Tasmania)' and not 'Name, Tasmania' like in the rest of Australia. Anyone like to fill me in. Personally I think the later is far more preferable. Nomadtales 02:51, 6 March 2007 (UTC)

See names like Avon River (Western Australia), which originates east of Pingelly, Western Australia. The comma is for suburbs and towns and cities, the brackets are for geographical features. Good question to ask, took me a while to figure out and I'd created a few wrong ones before I did so :) Orderinchaos78 03:27, 6 March 2007 (UTC)
Is this listed somewhere as a wikipedia standard? Nomadtales 03:31, 6 March 2007 (UTC)
There was en extensive discussion about all of this at WP Australia Places project about this-check the archive/talk page there- take care I created a lot of them (ie west coast ones) - maybe we need to go to personal talk on this one! SatuSuro 04:30, 6 March 2007 (UTC)
