Hi, the list is now in the main article (List of Federation architects links to it) and the category is at Category:Federation architects. I'm sorry you were not given better advice when you started, but at least your work has not been wasted. – Fayenatic London 22:29, 12 June 2012 (UTC)Reply

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Robin Dods, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Britain, Georgian and Mater Misericordiae Hospital (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

January 2017

edit

  Thank you for your edit to the disambiguation page Winter Hill. However, please note that disambiguation pages are not articles; rather, they are meant to help readers find a specific article quickly and easily. From the disambiguation dos and don'ts, you should:

  • Only list articles that readers might reasonably be looking for
  • Use short sentence fragment descriptions, with no punctuation at the end
  • Use exactly one navigable link ("blue link") in each entry
    • Only add a "red link" if used in existing articles, and include a "blue link" to an appropriate article
  • Do not pipe links (unless style requires it) – keep the full title of the article visible
  • Do not insert external links or references

Thank you.  Dr Greg  talk  01:30, 24 January 2017 (UTC)Reply

Copying within Wikipedia requires proper attribution

edit

  Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from Natural landscaping into Garden design. While you are welcome to re-use Wikipedia's content, here or elsewhere, Wikipedia's licensing does require that you provide attribution to the original contributor(s). When copying within Wikipedia, this is supplied at minimum in an edit summary at the page into which you've copied content, disclosing the copying and linking to the copied page, e.g., copied content from [[page name]]; see that page's history for attribution. It is good practice, especially if copying is extensive, to also place a properly formatted {{copied}} template on the talk pages of the source and destination. The attribution has been provided for this situation, but if you have copied material between pages before, even if it was a long time ago, please provide attribution for that duplication. You can read more about the procedure and the reasons at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. Thank you. If you are the sole author of the prose that was moved, attribution is not required. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 19:19, 24 February 2017 (UTC)Reply

Garden Sanctuary citations

edit

Hi Ruwoltj, and thanks for your contributions. I noticed there are a lot of errors in the references section on the Garden Sanctuary page you created. If you go to that page and scroll to the bottom, you'll see what I mean. This page may provide some useful information to help resolve this. I would recommend taking a look at other pages, to get an example.

If you have questions or would like assistance, let me know by responding here or on my talk page. Good luck, and happy editing! = paul2520 16:46, 27 February 2017 (UTC)Reply

Hi Ruwoltj, I did some work on the references in the article. Hopefully you can use my work as examples for further cleanup. I would also suggest finding citations for other locations around the world, or moving the page to be something like Secret gardens in Australia. = paul2520 03:44, 28 February 2017 (UTC)Reply

  Hello, I'm Paul2520. An edit that you recently made to Secret garden (gardening) seemed to be a test and has been removed. If you want more practice editing, please use the sandbox. If you think a mistake was made, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. The page Secret garden (gardening) seems to be a copy of Garden Sanctuary. Please do tests in a sandbox, and don't put discussion in the article itself; that's the point of talk pages. paul2520 03:48, 28 February 2017 (UTC)Reply

I cannot keep citations on this Wikipedia page active. I am using the Cite App, all looks good for a few hours, then 'poof!' errors everywhere. Obviously the Cite App has hidden powers, and if I simply recreate the code, that is not enough to get a working citation. I spend more time on page problems than actually writing the page. So I removed all the inline citations.

The citation error has happened again. I entered just two citations using the Cite app template for web, and 'poof!' they become problems. After 24 hours I will delete the citations, since something is fundamentally wrong with the app. Why it sometimes works OK and sometimes doesn't I can't explain. Can anyone explain this to me?

Go ahead and merge this with Garden Sanctuary.

Citation Errors: a cancer eating my Citation references

edit

I don't know what is wrong but the 'cancer' of Citation errors is off and running again, on this page. Please note that the list of data has 400 entries, and the last thing I want to do is re - cite all the entries. I have more research I want to do, and if Wikipedia has a citation problem, let someone else fix it for me.

I cannot fix these problems. By this citation problem I mean: In using citations used multiple times, I made each Reference book a unique code, such as "GGA" for The Great Gardens in Australia by Tanner, but when choosing the citation I could not see GGA in the citation list box, only The Great Gardens in Australia, further down the list.

There are 13 reference books, and two have the same name "The Great Gardens of Australia". I have tried naming one of these as "(The).... but the problems got worse. (One had code GGA, the other code is TGGA.) GGA would never come up in the citation box when attempting to cite the entries. So I went further down the citation window and chose Great Gardens in Australia. (This has led to a citation error I think).

To Correct this I entered this citation using the Citation template again. Entering a new citation record led to TWO Citation errors.

"GIA" and the citation |Gardens in Australia| also got lost and was just spelled out at the bottom of the citations, and I cannot recover the citation. I have entered it as a citation twice, but it does not recover.

The more I correct the citation data, the more gets an error. From one error, I now have three errors.

If there is a citation guru at Wikipedia, please get in touch with me. I also had galloping citation problems in the page Secret Gardens (Gardening) and the only workable solution was to delete all the citations made in the text. With no citations active, the Citation Error went away. The books are still listed in the Reference section but attempting to make these citations, all hell broke loose with Citation errors. I cannot solve that problem.

CFBy this citation problem I mean: In using citations used multiple times, I made each book a unique code, such as "GGA" for The Great Gardens in Australia, but when choosing the citation I could not see GGA in the citation list, only The Great Gardens in Australia, further down the list.

Cue Help: I need a Citation expert to tell me how to get them working properly.

For help with citations, I suggset you look at Help:Referencing for beginners or Help:Referencing for beginners with citation templates. If you are using the visual editor, try Help:Introduction to referencing with VisualEditor. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 00:13, 6 April 2017 (UTC)Reply

Proposed deletion of Garden Styles

edit
 

The article Garden Styles has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

A list of books, with no indication why they are notable as a list.

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.

Heritage gardens in Australia

edit

Hi, I've done a big edit on this. Please minimise capitalisation. There were already some "cite errors" showing (big red text at bottom). Thanks for your work: really good resource. But needs more fixing.

I found some of the descriptions a little weird—and this is surely for non-experts too. For example "labour"?

Sometimes there are blatantly subjective descriptions ("Best garden in Australia"?). These should be removed, I'm afraid. Tony (talk) 03:49, 8 October 2017 (UTC)Reply
