List of Justices of the High Court of Australia
Hi SchreiberBike, I've got one more ongoing move discussion that's encountered some resistance. Would love to read your input on it. Cheers! Woko Sapien (talk) 13:40, 4 September 2023 (UTC)
- @Woko Sapien: Glad to help. It's a never ending battle. For future events, I'd suggest adding a note at Wikipedia talk:Manual of Style/Capital letters#Current as asking for help from people you know will probably be on your side could be considered canvasing. If there's a note at WT:MOSCAPS, I'll see it and so would many others. Regardless, keep up the good work.P.S. I've got List of Acts of the Parliament of the United Kingdom, which should be List of acts of Parliament of the United Kingdom on my list, and it's the head of a long series. I'm busy with another project until near the end of the this year, but if you're in the mood to take it on, feel free. SchreiberBike | ⌨ 15:51, 4 September 2023 (UTC)
- That's my bad! As I said on the move discussion, I've been canvassed before, so I assumed it was okay. Thank you for the advice on future move discussions!
- Also, I'll definitely look into those "Acts" articles! Woko Sapien (talk) 16:07, 4 September 2023 (UTC)
- @Woko Sapien: Excellent! Wikipedia's got what seems like million rules and no one knows them all (but any one can blame us for not knowing them). SchreiberBike | ⌨ 16:20, 4 September 2023 (UTC)
- Made a proposal on the "List of Acts of..." articles. I kept "the" in the title because one of my arguments is that these should all follow the precedent set by the American versions (e.g. List of acts of the 112th United States Congress). But otherwise, it tackles the issue of needlessly capitalizing "Acts". Woko Sapien (talk) 17:49, 26 October 2023 (UTC)

Wildlife of Zimbabwe
Hi dear SchreiberBike. The second paragraph of the lead section of the article Wildlife of Zimbabwe says: "In the 1990s, it became one of the leading countries in Africa in wildlife conservation and management with a reported income generation US$300 million per year from the protected areas of the state, rural community run wildlife management areas and private game ranches and reserves." I think that an "of" is required before "US$300 million" and also a full stop must come before "rural community". As I am not a native speaker of English, I decided not to make any changes to the article, but please do so if what I say is right or explain why what I say is not right. Thanks in advance. Taddah (talk) 11:37, 10 October 2023 (UTC)
- @Taddah: Like many articles on Wikipedia, this one is badly out of date and not that well written. I copy edited the second paragraph as you suggested and made some other small changes, but it deserves more attention. I didn't follow your suggestions exactly, but please take a look at it now and see if that is better. Let me know if there's anything else I can do to help (but I'm in a busy period and may not be able to do much). Thank you, SchreiberBike | ⌨ 13:43, 10 October 2023 (UTC)
Polyommatus
For some reason this genus is placed in Riodinidae in the (automated?) taxobox. This should be Lycaenidae.Would you be so good as to fix this.Best regards Notafly (talk) 20:13, 23 October 2023 (UTC) PS Polyommatinae is also placed in RiodinidaeIt looks as though the "parents" part of the taxobox is incorrect
- @Notafly and Rodrigo Conte: Sorry it's taken so long to get to this. I think this may have fixed it. Take a look and see if it looks right to you. I've not worked with automated taxoboxes much recently so I'm not sure if I did it right. I've pinged Rodrigo Conte who made the change to see if his understanding matches with mine. Take care, SchreiberBike | ⌨ 23:11, 25 October 2023 (UTC)
Very many thanks.Everything I checked seems ok.Best regardsNotafly (talk) 19:21, 27 October 2023 (UTC) Did you note we have lost Alan Cassidy as an editor.He has made endless contributions and added marvellous photos.A well known expert on Lycaenidae he has been blocked due to (to my mind) his political and social views.Alan was a military officer not a diplomat.I will try and contact him and maybe make amends.
