If someone has a moment, would they advise at Template talk:Infobox calendar date today#When does "today" start? whether this infobox is "correctly" showing local time in Sydney (and Perth) or does it need a note to say "at UTC+00:00"? 𝕁𝕄𝔽 (talk) 11:42, 2 February 2025 (UTC)
Vale User:JarrahTree
[edit]A great and prolific contributor, JarrahTree, is recently deceased, and I figured there would be some familiar with him who would be informed should I post a notice here. As the editor who welcomed me to this great encyclopaedia and who gave me feedback and encouragement before anyone else I am greatly indebted to him. There is a thread of condolences on his talk page. Regards, Will Thorpe (talk) 03:49, 10 February 2025 (UTC)
- I see this was already mentioned here longer ago than I thought had elapsed since the news broke. My apologies for the repetition. Will Thorpe (talk) 04:54, 10 February 2025 (UTC)
- I think that many of us benefited from his insights, experience, and encouragement. Thanks for the extra thoughts. (I posted on his page a little while ago. I was very sad to hear the news, especially so soon after eventually meeting him for the first time.) Laterthanyouthink (talk) 11:17, 16 February 2025 (UTC)
- Of course. Will Thorpe (talk) 10:31, 18 February 2025 (UTC)

Australian lead
[edit]Just looking for some generic input at Talk:Australia#Reverting without explanation. Is a hard article to update. Moxy🍁 00:50, 14 February 2025 (UTC)
Place article moves. Only place/only notable place
[edit]I know this probably more appropriate for [1], but the talk is rarely viewed. I do have several requests in talk pages for pages moves for only place/only notable place suburbs. Lavender Bay, Chatswood, Pymble, Pennant Hills, Thornleigh, Normanhurst, Artarmon, Naremburn, North Wahroonga and West Pymble. Just leaving the notification. Thank you Servite et contribuere (talk) 00:16, 27 February 2025 (UTC)
- I don't see any issues with doing this. This has been discussed many times, and the consensus is always to move pages that have an unnecessary disambiguation by adding the state to the title. Viatori (talk) 07:26, 27 February 2025 (UTC)
- Viatori already have state name at the end and it is unnecessary on each of these articles I mentioned above. Each one is a link to the talk page BTW. Servite et contribuere (talk) 09:07, 27 February 2025 (UTC)
- Yes, I realise my wording was clumsy, but I'm agreeing with you. Viatori (talk) 09:10, 27 February 2025 (UTC)
- Viatori You can still edit your reply to say removing the state from the title, if that is what you meant. Just a note that whilst I am very quick to read things (Noticing words in like a flash), I sometimes don't understand what people mean when they say certain things. Could you just clarify what you Actually meant to say in your first reply please? Thank you.Servite et contribuere (talk) 09:47, 27 February 2025 (UTC)
- What I am saying is many town/suburb/locality articles unnecessarily disambiguate themselves in their titles by having the name of the state after their name, like in the ones you've listed, when no other article of that name exists. These generally just get moved without needing a talk page discussion to be opened every time. I move them whenever I come across them. Every time a talk page discussion has been opened about it, the conclusion is always to move it. Viatori (talk) 10:07, 27 February 2025 (UTC)
- Viatori I would encourage but not require you to vote in support of the proposed moves as it would not be a good idea to move a page when a discussion is open. I also have a talk page that if you know how to close, I would recommend doing it (7 Days after opening) on my proposed move of article David Warner (cricketer) to David Warner, as it looking pretty clear that there is pretty much unanimous opposition to moving the page (As I talk like a journalist on National TV Reporting by the roads).
