Information icon Hello, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. This is just a note to let you know that I've moved the draft that you were working on to Draft:Warrowen massacre, from its old location at User:Austhistory99/sandbox. This has been done because the Draft namespace is the preferred location for Articles for Creation submissions. Please feel free to continue to work on it there. If you have any questions about this, you are welcome to ask me on my talk page. Thank you. -Liancetalk/contribs 16:21, 3 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Disputed non-free use rationale for File:Joseph Birdsell with Kongkandji tribe member, Mona Mona Mission, near Kuranda, North Queensland, in 1938.jpg

Thank you for uploading File:Joseph Birdsell with Kongkandji tribe member, Mona Mona Mission, near Kuranda, North Queensland, in 1938.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this file on Wikipedia may not meet the criteria required by Wikipedia: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 Wikipedia:Non-free use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your file is in compliance with Wikipedia 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.

This bot DID NOT nominate any file(s) for deletion; please refer to the page history of each individual file for details. Thanks, FastilyBot (talk) 01:00, 4 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

blanked section

Hello, I have blanked a section on the linked talk page. Please be very careful about making defamatory unsourced claims. Even when sourced, you have to be careful of your tone, talking about a living person, and may not attack a subject of an article (or anybody). You are welcome to contribute to Wikipedia. But, if the main reason you're here is to attack certain people or press a hateful POV, you are likely to be blocked. --Rob (talk) 01:47, 20 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Propose deletion - Warrowen massacre

Proposed deletion of Warrowen massacre

Notice

The article Warrowen massacre has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Nominate for deletion. Relies almost entirely on primary sources. These are sensational, colonial accounts, the language used in these primary sources demonstrates a strong bias and profound racism, secondary sources are needed. The office of the Protector of Aborigines is certainly not a reliable source in this context. Boro Boro Willum, for example may not have existed at all, I can find no other source that mentions this tribe or one with a similar name, it's likely a colonial fiction.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

This is just a note to let you know that I've moved the draft that you were working on to Draft:Massacre of Running Waters, from its old location at User:Austhistory99/sandbox.

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Charles Sievwright, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Victoria. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 06:10, 23 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Indefinite block

Stop icon
You have been blocked indefinitely from editing for disruptive editing (including blatant advocacy and conflict of interest violations).
If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, please read the guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text below the block notice on your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}.

This user is asking that their block be reviewed:

Austhistory99 (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))

Request reason:

I apologise if I unintentionally appeared to have done a disruptive edit - In the case in point I (along with some other editors) feel that the Dark Emu article would be improved if a recently published, very reputable academic paper from a third party, who has his own Wikipedia article Ian Keen, and to which I have no affiliation, was referenced in some way. We feel that there is strong push-back by some editors to the inclusion of a reference to Dr Keen's work as he is critical of the Dark Emu thesis. I am interested in the topic of Dark Emu and do run a private, amateur non-commercial website, but I do now understand that I need to be careful not to allow any COI to occur and will be mindful of this going forward. I have only been editing the Talk page of Dark Emu not the main article and am happy for another editor to add the final agreed additions to the main page. I have successfully created two other Wikipedia pages, one of which Warrowen massacre was listed for AfD by it appears this same editor who has applied for my blocking for serious COI. His AfD was ultimately declined as it was found to have no basis and my article was strongly supported by many other editors. I value, and financially contribute to, Wikipedia and feel Wikipedia would be losing out on some valuable future additions I have planned if I was permanently blocked. Austhistory99 (talk) 21:05, 25 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Notes:

  • In some cases, you may not in fact be blocked, or your block has already expired. Please check the list of active blocks. If no block is listed, then you have been autoblocked by the automated anti-vandalism systems. Please remove this request and follow these instructions instead for quick attention by an administrator.
  • Please read our guide to appealing blocks to make sure that your unblock request will help your case. You may change your request at any time.
Administrator use only:

If you ask the blocking administrator to comment on this request, replace this template with the following, replacing "blocking administrator" with the name of the blocking admin:
