Hi @Buidhe, I wanted to reach out to you since I nominated your article for deletion and since I can see that you have been an excellent contributor to Wikipedia. Unfortunately, this article is not of encyclopaedic quality and does not meaningfully better Wikipedia's coverage of the history of Indigenous Australians post-British settlement. Whilst I have created articles primarily by copyediting before, the subjects of this article I suspect are best dealt with in the existing articles I referred to in my deletion nomination, where the Australian frontier wars and the impacts of colonisation on Indigenous Australians more broadly are chronicled; that said, I only just found the latter article.

I note also that you have been a major contributor to Settler colonialism in Canada. I was concerned about the extremely poor grammar and legibility of that article's lede, which I have now fixed. If there are further such issues in the article I hope you or another editor will rectify them.

Cheers :) Will Thorpe (talk) 10:28, 8 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Buidhe! FYI I think you may have voted twice in the Wikipedia and antisemitism merge discussion? :-) Levivich (talk) 04:17, 11 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

On 23 November 2024, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Panhandle Gap, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that Mount Rainier cannot be seen from Panhandle Gap (pictured), despite the trail being "possibly the best day hike" in Mount Rainier National Park? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Panhandle Gap. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Panhandle Gap), and the hook may be added to the statistics page after its run on the Main Page has completed. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

Inspired by Worm That Turned's re-RfA where he noted administrators don't get a lot of feedback or suggestions for improvement, I have decided to solicit feedback. I'm reaching out to you as you are currently one of the users I've selected as part of my recall process. I hope you will consider taking a few moments to fill out my feedback form. Clicking on the link will load the questions and create a new section on my user talk. Thanks for your consideration. Best, Barkeep49 (talk) 15:42, 2 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
