OK, so it wasn't the quickest response in WP history, but a mere three years after you asked for it, I've added a photo of [[Yabba]] to his article. Cheers [[User:Manning Bartlett|Manning]] ([[User talk:Manning Bartlett|talk]]) 00:13, 10 January 2012 (UTC) |

''Welcome!'' [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Australia|WikiProject Australia]] is a [[Wikipedia:WikiProject|WikiProject]], which aims to improve Wikipedia's coverage of [[Australia]] and [[:Category:Australia|Australia-related topics]]. This newsletter exists simply to notify Australian Wikipedians of ongoing events within the project and relating to Australia on Wikipedia. |

<h3>[[WP:AUS/GA|200 GA Drive]] |
|||
</h3> |
|||
Last year, an informal pact/commitment was made late in the year to aim for 100 good articles by the end of the year. As a result, a net increase of 24 GAs was achieved in December 2007 and the GA count hit triple figures, ending the year on 106 GAs. This year seasonally adjusted, the GA production has been slower than in last during the May-November periods ''(see graphs below)''. At the start of the month, our WikiProject had 178 good articles. Another GA Drive has been organised, with the hope of reaching the double century by the end of the year or Australia Day 2009 at the least. As of 16 December, there are 180 GAs and 15 currently nominated, primarily in response to the GA appeal. Everyone's help is requested to make the drive a success. |

Following the [[2008 Summer Olympics]], some Australian Wikipedians attended the various welcome home parades for the athletes, with one objective being to help create free images of the athletes. Previously, less than ten had photos. However, there are now over 100 athletes that do have photos, but unfortunately in some cases, they have not yet been identified. Help is requested for this purpose at the link above. |

<h3>Wikimedia Australia |

After much hard work in slogging through paperwork and government regulations, '''[[m:Wikimedia_Australia|Wikimedia Australia]]''' was incorporated on 6 August, and membership was opened on 12 November. Its [[m:Wikimedia_Australia/SoP|stated purpose]] is to be "an independent, not-for-profit organisation, whose primary aim is to promote equality of opportunity to access and participate in the collaborative creation of Free Cultural Works, especially educational works, and works about Australia, its culture, natural environment, and Australian news and media". It will be developing a joint publication with Creative Commons Australia, and members are in the process of spreading the Wikipedia message, with Wikipedia being introduced into the curriculum in some courses in Australia next year. The first AGM is planned for 11 January 2009. |

<h3>Quality watch |

</h3> |

[[File:GHSTrott.jpg|thumb|Mattinbgn is rather camera shy, so here is [[Harry Trott]].]] |
|||
2008 saw a major feat for WikiProject Australia: '''100''' articles were promoted to '''[[WP:FA|featured article]] status'''. This is huge not only for the project's individual members and those who helped achieved such an impressive statistic, but for all of Wikipedia. Everyone involved has given readers from all around the world a chance to learn about Australia and relevant topics online from the best of sources. Congratulations to [[User:Mattinbgn|Mattinbgn]], who wrote the 100th FA, [[Harry Trott]]. Also of note was the promotion of national icon Sir [[Donald Bradman]], which then appeared as the main page FA on his 100th birthday. WikiProject Australia's '''maiden [[WP:FT|featured topics]]''' arrived early in the year, with [[Wikipedia:Featured_topics/Dream_Days_at_the_Hotel_Existence|Dream Days at the Hotel Existence]] and [[Wikipedia:Featured topics/Powderfinger albums|Powderfinger albums]], both about the band [[Powderfinger]]. [[Portal:New South Wales|New South Wales]] and [[Portal:Music of Australia|Music of Australia]] became featured portals. A further 13 [[WP:FL|featured lists]] have been produced. |

Here are some statistics for WikiProject Australia in terms of 2008's good article and featured article promotions. Summing it up: '''116''' featured articles, and '''178''' good articles. So far this year, a net 36 FAs and 72 GAs have been added. The areas of FA growth were cricket (+12), military history (+7), swimming (+5), Powderfinger (+4), birds (+4), Silverchair (+2), Holden (+1), Wiggles (+1). These areas have been traditional strengths of the project, and this year, [[User:Abraham, B.S.|Abraham, B.S.]] has started another strong tradition, with a series of articles on Australian [[Victoria Cross]] awardees (1FA, 8GA). It would be great to see a wider range of Australian topics represented at FA in future. Two FAs were sent to [[WP:FAR|Featured article review]], but [[User:Bilby|Bilby]] was instrumental in renovating and saving both [[Shrine of Remembrance]] and [[Waterfall Gully, South Australia]]. |

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
