I've finished acting on your recommendations on the Pakenham railway line article. Now that I have finished these, you can (hopefully) approve the article. Thank you for taking the time to review the article over the course of the past 2-3 weeks. Once you approve the article I will go and work on the Cranbourne railway line article as promised previously.

On 20 February 2023, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Western Australian radioactive capsule incident, which you recently nominated. The fact was ... that the search for a lost radioactive capsule along a 1,400-kilometre (870 mi) stretch of road in Western Australia was likened to looking for a needle in a haystack? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Western Australian radioactive capsule incident. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page ( here's how, Western Australian radioactive capsule incident), and the hook may be added to the statistics page after its run on the Main Page has completed.

Hi Steelkamp, just wondering, as you have done much work on the article, should Western Australian radioactive capsule incident have a 2023 prefix to distinguish it from the 1978 incident, as detailed in Kambalda Nickel Operations#Open source incident? Also almost 45 years ago, the 1978 seems to have created just as much news back then as the 2023 one, especially as it dragged on much longer. What is your thoughts?

Hello Steelkamp,
I had a go at trying to refine the 2023 Rockingham state by-election page recently by adding some information and tables. However, I am not from WA so if you could take a look when you have time on the background section and make any changes that are more correct, especially regarding the geography of the electorate.

From memory, reverse engineering other sub projects always helps. I would rather be terse or whatever with points of order if they are going to consume time or effort,
acceding to general short knowledge of project creation should be something that
does not take the weight... There is the argument the fewer involved - the quicker and easier, as they used to say in theatre at least - 'break a leg', and best of luck. There are some very good template tweakers around somewhere, you might need some as there can be access issues, from memory to adjust the larger weirder templates.
Trust the current weather is being enjoyed from a position of above the temperature as found. JarrahTree 09:11, 27 June 2023 (UTC)

I find very problematic - all of the wagr - western australian railway system until well into the 2000s might be considered totally 'primitive' - there are more royal commissions into the neglected and run down wagr railway system was that there was never 'any catchup of the system despite the royal commissions, ever. To even consider an isolated rural railway line with close to the lightest rail in the system, with very low patronage at any part of its history, the use of the term 'electrification' is as bizarre as imagining that Great_Western_Railway_(Tasmania) might have happened. If I knew you in real life, I would ask you to wash your mouth out, and hold off on such bizarre comments. JarrahTree 11:18, 9 July 2023 (UTC)

are owned by DOT - I disagree totally about your changes, Transperth is a government agency providing public transport options within the metro area, however like bus stops are owned and maintained and provided by LGA's, jetties physically have nothing to do with Transperth.

In the apples and oranges department - I am not sure it is a very wise idea to merrily enjoy mixing services; with rolling stock; with lines - such as /info/en/?search=WAGR_ADG_class and /info/en/?search=Category:Public_transport_in_Perth,_Western_Australia - I really do think there is serious problem when conflation occurs in such a manner - it is increasing ahistorical and clumping at labels and names of things that are usually not found mixed together - the sense of some 'unity' under labels such as public transport might be ok from wherever you come from in time, but where I come from - the notion of separating lines, from rolling stock for services appease my friends the retired rail persons and lawyers and whatevers - it is one thing dealing with those who edit in interesting areas who do not have english as a first curse, but I would strongly suggest - public transport relates to services, rolling stock and locomotives whatever do not necessarily constitute what the term might be considered - and railway lines or bus routes can actually be considered separate as well. The probability of a more suitable arrangement is always there that doesnt fall into the one size fits all (time). The WAGR does no longer exist in name, I would be very concerned that it is clumped in with the dreaded Transperth in 'Public Transport' JarrahTree 05:05, 23 July 2023 (UTC)
The more I look at: -
Western Australian Government Railways 12:25 +58 Steelkamp talk contribs (added Category:Public transport in Perth, Western Australia using HotCat)
I think it is rubbish to conflate the PTA and WAGR - the nuances might not be of concern to you for whatever reason, for me - it requires a lot more conversation somewhere - the historical phases of transport require more discriminatory processes and boundaries, as they stand I think of them as being a real hindrance for a wikipedia reader to understand context of material JarrahTree 05:34, 23 July 2023 (UTC)
If I consider the terms and criterion as to how Gunzburg and May separated the stages of the railway system in Perth -
at the beginning of each chapter in both books is probably the most accurate rendition in simple terms, the history of the various transitions and conditions in the railway system - and if I was to ask them - I suspect that they both would not consider the railway system fell under a single label or umbrella over time.
But maybe I know nothing about the subject... JarrahTree 10:34, 23 July 2023 (UTC)
In the same category - railway depot, historical organisations, and a chimera/political hoax really need separation... It is a real pity there was not more of a conversation - boldly going and creating further ahistorical categories makes less room for negotiation or conversation about anything.

Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. If you wish to start or stop receiving this newsletter, please feel free to add or remove your name from Wikipedia:WikiCup/Newsletter/Send.
I will be standing down as a judge after the end of the contest. I think the Cup encourages productive editors to improve their contributions to Wikipedia and I hope that someone else will step up to take over the running of the Cup. Sturmvogel 66 ( talk), and Cwmhiraeth ( talk)

Thank you today for Airport Central railway station, "about one of Transperth's newest stations (it opened on 9 October 2022) and my personal favourite design-wise."! -- Gerda Arendt ( talk) 08:47, 9 October 2023 (UTC)

I am intrigued by It will also be served by the Morley–Ellenbrook line when that opens in late-2024 doing in the east perth station article? - surely there is a point where the bayswater to ellenbrook line is not going to invade the midland line to east perth ? I know services get very often confused with physical tracks in a very odd manner, but I would be intrigued to hear your explanation, please if you can... JarrahTree 06:06, 15 October 2023 (UTC)
The WikiCup is a marathon rather than a sprint and all those reaching the final round have been involved in the competition for the last ten months, improving Wikipedia vastly during the process. After all this hard work,
BeanieFan11 has emerged as the 2023 winner and the WikiCup Champion. The finalists this year were:-
Congratulations to everyone who participated in this year's WikiCup, whether they made it to the final round or not, and particular congratulations to the newcomers to the competition, some of whom did very well. Wikipedia has benefitted greatly from the quality creations, expansions and improvements made, and the numerous reviews performed. All those who reached the final round will win awards. The following special awards will be made based on high performance in particular areas of content creation and review. Awards will be handed out in the next few days.
The WikiCup has run every year since 2007. With the 2023 contest now concluded, I will be standing down as a judge due to real life commitments, so I hope that another editor will take over running the competition. Please get in touch if you are interested. Next year's competition will hopefully begin on 1 January 2024. You are invited to sign up to participate in the contest; the WikiCup is open to all Wikipedians, both novices and experienced editors. It only remains to congratulate our worthy winners once again and thank all participants for their involvement!

Hey, are you interested in helping me write a list of Queensland Rail stations, one section for purely "Citytrain" stations and another for "Traveltrain" (Queensland Rail Travel) stations? I still despise using those names on Wikipedia, but I digress. I'll get started on a draft at Draft:List of Queensland Rail stations. Fork99 ( talk) 08:04, 6 November 2023 (UTC)
Hi,
You're absolutely right that I should have split my comment here into separate threads. The two main prongs are the model railway bit and the WP:RS bit, so I can at least cut it in half. If I do that, I'd need to split your reply into two sections, but I don't think I need to change anything you wrote, and no changes are needed to the other reply. Do you mind if I make that change, before I respond to both comments? Anothersignalman ( talk) 03:45, 16 November 2023 (UTC)

you are an avowed anonymous editor, as I would have liked to have offered a few pdfs (as I may have tried indirectly suggested in your talk some substantial time ago) and offered some items that are not easily found, online or offline regarding the Perth system. Long rave re the actual process of ascertaining things that are not part of the metronet publicity system...left off for the moment cheers JarrahTree 06:11, 2 December 2023 (UTC)
