Pembroke School, Adelaide

Hi, I changed the motto as I personally attend Pembroke and have been told the motto many times. The motto, as I’ve been told by our principle Mr Thompson, is "Unity is Strength".
As such I will now edit the motto again, please leave it that way. Excharlie (talk) 00:25, 14 May 2020 (UTC)
:I've had to revert your change again, to the actual wording on the school's website ↗. We can't go with a translation based on your personal interpretation or opinion. Wikipedia just doesn't work that way - see the policy on verifiability ↗. Cheers, Bahudhara (talk) 02:40, 14 May 2020 (UTC)

I’m not going on personal opinion. I actually go to Pembroke and this is what we are told the motto is.
Plus, the direct translation is “Unity is Strength”.
The principal gives speeches at assemblies and says the motto is “Unity is Strength”. Excharlie (talk) 04:21, 14 May 2020 (UTC)
:That is just hearsay ↗, and for Wikipedia, that is not considered a reliable source ↗. The school website is considered a reliable source. Cheers, Bahudhara (talk) 11:42, 14 May 2020 (UTC)

not just pollies

corporate assistants get told by their bosses ''update our wikipedia page'' - they create usernames with the business/organisation and behave as if they are sanitising a wp article to look or sound like the corporate web page - at least one a month on my oversized watchlist, sometimes as much as once a week - in most cases they ignore messages, or give up... or in some cases persist before they are blocked...

there is one that keeps coming like a bad smell... https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=South_Australian_Chamber_of_Mines_and_Energy&action=history ↗ the edit history has more quacking ducks thsn a well stocked farm yard, it is like they '''never''' give up, regardless... JarrahTree 07:34, 17 June 2020 (UTC)

:Yes, I am aware of it, and that particular page was already on my watchist. Corporate spin is one thing, but I find it more egregious when pollies' flacks do it, and those messianic halos were particularly objectionable. Cheers, Bahudhara (talk) 07:46, 17 June 2020 (UTC)

Hi Bahudhara
I just came across an OK B&W snap I took in the late 1950s of the duty policeman on the steps of Parliament House, Adelaide, and thought it might be of some interest. For at least five years he acted as a sort of concierge for MP's and parliamentary staff, and was a minor Adelaide celebrity. I'm pretty sure his name was Roy, but have forgotten his surname.
Can you help? Doug butler (talk) 00:23, 5 February 2021 (UTC)

:Hi Doug, I can't help directly, but I've passed on your request to someone who is very good at this sort of sleuthing. Cheers, Bahudhara (talk) 03:07, 8 February 2021 (UTC)

I removed again the politically biased accusations in the Tree Planting article

apparently you don't get notifications when somebody is writing something to you on some talk page so I am telling you here that I removed again those controversial claims in the article.
Why you think that people like Susan Nathan or some other person are a real and reliable sources for claims like "trees have been planted to restrict Bedouin herding" just because they made those claims in a book?. Israel definitely doesn't need trees to prevent bedouins from herding and they already need permissions for herding anyway. Israel also doesn't need trees to "erase traces of the Arab presence prior to 1948", may be some trees were planted on some land that was belonged to some village according to the ottoman or british rule but those lands weren't an actual part of the village and probably contained some trees and wild vegetation even before 1948. Why planting an entire forest if you can just bulldoze some abandoned buildings?. Those accusations doesn't make sense and are completely ridiculous --ThunderheadX (talk) 20:01, 9 February 2021 (UTC)

Deleted my post on the Pavement talk board

Hello, I saw you deleted my post there, any reason to why?
Yourlocallordandsavior (talk) 03:27, 23 March 2021 (UTC)
:There were several reasons for deleting your edit to Talk:Pavement ↗. '''Pavement ↗''' is a disambiguation ↗ page (also known as a dab' page, used "as a process of resolving conflicts in article titles that occur when a single term can be associated with more than one topic"). Dab pages typically consist of a list of linked article titles ↗, and are not articles in themselves. A dab page's associated talk page should be used for that purpose only. Talk pages associated with specific articles are used for discussing improvements to those articles (see the guidelines ↗). Your edit had nothing to do with "Pavement" in the general sense (as part of a roadway, "sidewalk", or geological feature). This dab page does have an entry for an article on Pavement (band) ↗, which in turn links to other articles on the band's studio albums aand individual songs, so you should have posted your question there (where you'd have a much better chance of getting a response), rather than on this dab page. Please note also that Wikipedia is not a social media site ↗. Bahudhara (talk) 05:27, 24 March 2021 (UTC)

Soccer dad?

Hi Bahudhara. I've just reverted a huge slab of info added by one Special:Contributions/Crooga ↗ on Mike Tyler ↗ (that I know to be quite accurate) as unreferenced and part at least copied and pasted. User:Crooga has only edited one other article, on a South Australian soccer player named Martyn Crook ↗. Could you please check it out ? Doug butler (talk) 13:16, 16 November 2021 (UTC)

The West Wing task force

Hi there! If you're receiving this, it's because you like ''The West Wing ↗''—I happen to love the show, and I'm trying to set up a task force for it under Wikipedia:WikiProject Television ↗ to improve its coverage on Wikipedia.

Adelaidepedia

Hi, I seem to remember https://adelaidepedia.com.au/wiki/Main_Page being brought up at a meetup. The site has been down since about March. Do you know who runs it or if the content has been preserved somewhere? Also aren't there a series of these, e.g. Gawler etc? Alex Sims (talk) 00:08, 12 January 2022 (UTC)

:Hi Alex, see Meetup 11 ↗ and Meetup 16 ↗ for some discussion on these wikis - the links there to the other wikis are still valid. The original ones - Mallala, Gawler and Willunga - were set up at the instigation of Dr Darren Peacock. AFAIK he was also the driving force behind Adelaidepedia, but I haven't followed its development or demise - it may have been archived - see archive.org Wiki - Adelaidepedia ↗ . Darren was also involved with the collaboration with the City of Adelaide which created the Adelaide City Explorer ↗ mobile app. Around this time Darren also became CEO of the National Trust of SA, which meant that he was no longer able to devote much time to continue his personal involvement with wiki development as such. This meant that I had to rely on others to create and maintain the backend for the Port Adelaide wiki that I was trying to create; this ended up being hosted on a server owned by a community organisation, which was crashed by a bitcoin-mining bot. The Port Adelaide wiki is no longer online, but I have the backup files. Cheers, Bahudhara (talk) 05:29, 12 January 2022 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Horseshoe (disambiguation) ↗, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Horseshoe Bay ↗. Such links are usually incorrect ↗, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. <small>(Read the FAQ{{*}} Join us at the DPL WikiProject ↗.)</small>

bailiwick?

That sounds suspiciously like a suburb of Adelaide. As for the RSWA article, I ''always'' try to avoid the web pages of such adroit institutions - like government hacks invading articles about their institutions with usernames the same... As for the state of the article - I agree it is very short of the old coke bottle, but I have only peered in with a few trove articles...

:::Nah, the only one which is even remotely close is Keswick ↗. Cheers, Bahudhara (talk) 04:24, 12 April 2023 (UTC)

As for the publications being invalid sources - gah.

::the only reason that the RSSA from RSWA is different is the long lists of office bearers with red links.... JarrahTree 04:21, 12 April 2023 (UTC)

:::I'm going through those redlinks at the moment, and turning a couple blue. Bahudhara (talk) 04:28, 12 April 2023 (UTC)

:::At least the RSSA article has a "See also" section - the RSWA article is orphaned in that respect. I see that the RSNSW ↗ has an infobox that could be emulated. Cheers, Bahudhara (talk) 04:28, 12 April 2023 (UTC)

::::All of the state RS's need work - they are sorely neglected, like most oz articles of a certain vintage - the ever shrinking cohort doesnt help. Thank you for checking JarrahTree 04:31, 12 April 2023 (UTC)

::::: The more that I look - at each state article has a range of issues, and like so many oz articles about similar subjects - are inconsistent in the larger picture - and as exceptionalist for each state - (as so many things are) - the RS cleanup, and consistency is indeed a project in itself! Thanks for your original reference, the bonnet is certainly mixed up with the bee... I am sure most of the states could have one like Proceedings_of_the_Royal_Society_of_Queensland ↗ it would help to affirm the relevance and importance - in the face of any further misunderstandings (sic) JarrahTree 04:57, 12 April 2023 (UTC)

::::::Yes, the more I look, the more I find, including as a president of the RSSA one József Gyula Hubertus Szent-Ivány ↗ - who would have thought, just from his article? I'm thinking that there should be a category for "President of the RSSA" (along with all the others), as a way to link these otherwise disparate subject articles. Bahudhara (talk) 05:11, 12 April 2023 (UTC)

Would love your thoughts on a draft I've finished

Hi @Bahudhara,

Noticed you've contributed a lot to articles on Australians. Thought I'd try a BLP on a working woman behavioural scientist and would appreciate any suggestions from you: Draft:Jemma B King ↗

Senior Wikipedians

WikiProject Wikipedians aged 70 and older ↗ has been inactive for some time. The following three proposals may help invigorate this project.

#Change the name of this project to WikiProject Senior Wikipedians ↗.{{efn|The current name of this project, WikiProject Wikipedians aged 70 and older ↗, is somewhat cumbersome and excludes participation by any users under the age of 70 years.}}
#Open membership in this project to users who are at least 60 years of age and have made at least 50 edits in the past year.{{efn|This current minimum age limit of this project is 70 years. A minimum age limit of 60 years should permit the participation of most retired users. The minimum activity level of 50 edits per year is arbitrary. A minimum activity level indicates continued interest. Members who do not meet the minimum activity level shall be moved to inactive status. Members who have died shall be moved to memorial status.}}
#Open supporting membership in this project to users who are less than 60 years old but have made at least 50 edits in the past year and support the goals of this project.{{efn|A new class of Supporting Members allows those users under 60 years to support the goals of the project. Users approaching the age of 60 years may wish to become supporting members in anticipation of reaching the minimum age limit for members.}}

Suggested goals for this project:

#To support collaboration and communication among members for the advancement and improvement of Wikipedia and the Wikimedia movement ↗.
#To encourage older people, retired people, and soon-to-be-retired people to participate in Wikipedia both for the advancement of the encyclopedia and for their own personal enjoyment.
#To encourage older people to share their experience and expertise for the improvement of Wikipedia.
#To encourage older users to use their experience and expertise to help younger and less experienced users.
#To encourage participation in local and regional Wikimedia events.
#To sponsor Wikipedia meetings and classes at places where older people gather.
#To advocate for the elimination of ageism ↗ and sexism ↗ in Wikipedia and the Wikimedia movement.

My proposal to make extensive changes to WikiProject Wikipedians aged 70 and older ↗ was a bust, primarily because many users felt that the term "Senior Wikipedian" implied a higher ranking Wikipedia membership. Therefore, I am making two less ambitious proposals:

:Proposal #1. Change the name of "WikiProject Wikipedians aged 70 and older" to "WikiProject Elder Wikipedians ↗".
:Proposal #2. Drop the minimum age requirement to 60 years.

Do you know what the copyright law was in 1935 in Latvia SSR?

Can you get a copy of that 1935 (or before) law in Latvian or English?

See: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Village_pump/Copyright/Archive/2022/08#Category:Freedom_monument_(Riga) ↗ https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Village_pump/Copyright/Archive/2022/08#Category:Freedom_monument_(Riga)

Thank you, -- Ooligan (talk) 23:14, 14 April 2025 (UTC)

:Thanks for raising this. I made some comments on this issue at an earlier deletion discussion, at Commons:Village_pump/Copyright/Archive/2022/08#Category:Freedom_monument_(Riga) ↗.
:Re your questions, in 1935 Latvia was an independent sovereign nation, not an SSR (Soviet Socialist Republic). Earlier copyright law would have been superseded by subsequent Latvian legislation, which seems to have been last amended in 2017. I'm also of the view that as a government project, contract law may also be involved (i.e. vesting copyright ownership in the 1935 Latvian government), and not just copyright law.
:I have no knowledge of the Latvian language, and I'm no expert in copyright law, so I've just reached out to a couple of English-speaking Latvian wikipedians for their input, as well as on the talk page for Latvian Meetups ↗.
:I'm also drafting an email to the Latvian Ministry of Culture (along with a suggestion that they consider setting up a GLAM ↗ collaboration with Wikipedia), but I'll wait for any responses here before I send it off. Bahudhara (talk) 04:16, 15 April 2025 (UTC)

Jack Snelling

Hey. I don't want to start an edit war, so let's try to reach a consensus. I recently made an edit to Jack Snelling ↗, where i removed his hypocorism. His real name is John and he goes by Jack. Jack is one of the most common hypocorisms on earth and pretty much everyone knows that it's a nickname for John, so as per MOS:Nicknames ↗, it doesn't need to be said in the lead. See Jack Nicholson ↗, Jack Lambert ↗, Jack White ↗ and Jack Lemmon ↗. All of those guys are named John but are nicknamed Jack, but that doesn't need to be stated, as per MOS. I there any good reason why you disagree? Cherryblossomgirly (talk) 19:31, 3 June 2025 (UTC)

Your subpage table

Your table at User:Bahudhara/Draft:2026 CCI mass content deletion - cleanup and the "revdel declined" notes needs some work, I'm looking through the entries you listed that and every single one that I've checked has actually been revdelled so I'm not sure what that note is for (eg. Francis Barrallier ↗, Herbert Basedow ↗, William Baylebridge ↗, Louisa Atkinson ↗ etc.) I think that comment you made at the end {{tq|Some inappropriate revdel requests made by inexperienced editors (e.g.Thejiujiangdragon) have not been implemented}} is an unnecessary jab as well, 1) because none of their revdel requests here have been declined and 2) calling them out by name looks like trying to frame a specific editor as incompetent.

I'd like, however, to have a quiet word here - I echo Sophisticatedevening's concerns about naming specific editors as problematic, in your user space, without even so much as attempting to talk with them. I'd also like to refer you to WP:POLEMIC ↗; {{tqq|Users should generally not maintain in public view negative information related to others without very good reason. Negative evidence, laundry lists of wrongs, collations of diffs and criticisms related to problems, etc., should be removed, blanked, or kept privately (i.e., not on the wiki) if they will not be imminently used, and the same once no longer needed.}} That is both another reason I was blanking articles rather than maintaining a list of editors who had inserted copyright issues into articles in my own userspace, and something you may want to reflect on when it comes to naming specific editors. I'm a bit disappointed that you've neither responded to Sophisticatedevening's post above, or my post at Wikipedia:Australian Wikipedians' notice board ↗. <span style="color:#EB0533;">GreenLipstickLesbian</span>💌 ↗🧸 ↗ 08:20, 23 March 2026 (UTC)

Australian Aboriginal Flag

Hi Bahudhara. I'll take your word for "jerseys and guernseys". I have to, although I now live in Australia. Maybe that makes me shockingly ignorant for an Australian, but it is an ignorance I'm sure I share with many Australians and with almost all non-Australians. The thus ignorant, I expect, would be baffled by this terminology, perhaps wondering what Australian football may have to do with the Channel Islands. In that light, I respectfully suggest either changing "jerseys and guernseys" to "shirts" or adding an explanatory footnote. Errantios (talk) 07:27, 29 May 2026 (UTC)
:I have absolutely no interest in football, but having been raised in South Australia, even I know that Guernsey (Australian rules football) ↗ is what they are called in AFL. Calling either of them "shirts" would immediately mark you out as a foreigner or recent immigrant. And I have no idea as to how they came to be so named. Bahudhara (talk) 07:42, 29 May 2026 (UTC)
::You've linked 'guernsey' just before I tried to and I've now also linked 'jersey'. I hadn't expected to find these articles. Good teamwork. Errantios (talk) 07:56, 29 May 2026 (UTC)
