Hi Ianblair23, I noticed that you have been updating the 'Sports governing bodies in Australia' Template. Are you aware of the following list of National Sporting Organisations - http://www.ausport.gov.au/__data/assets/pdf_file/0009/475884/Recognised_NSO_and_NSODs_as_at_February_2012.pdf? Cowdy001 (talk) 05:50, 28 January 2013 (UTC)

No, I wasn't aware of the list. Thank you for bring to my attention. I will go ahead and create articles for the bodies that haven't been done yet and update the templates. Thanks! -- Ianblair23 (talk) 05:55, 28 January 2013 (UTC)

An editor has asked for a discussion to address the redirect File:Basketball Australia Logo.png. Since you had some involvement with the File:Basketball Australia Logo.png redirect, you might want to participate in the redirect discussion (if you have not already done so).

Saw the nice job you did on Equestrian Australia. Could I trouble you to add a similar nice infobox to International Federation for Equestrian Sports? It would be ever so helpful! Thanks! Montanabw^(talk) 20:30, 22 February 2013 (UTC)

Hello. At #5 on the participant list, you're the highest "ranking" participant still to be really active on Wikipedia. It seems the WikiProject really stopped being active in/around 2009, but is lingering on. Please see my proposal at the talk page to mark it inactive, so users visiting the page with a message don't think they're going to get a response. Thanks --Dweller (talk) 14:01, 11 March 2013 (UTC)

Since you updated the SSAA logo, I saw that this logo was flagged by Wikipedia as having an opaque background (i.e. not transparent) so if you have time, I'll leave it up to you to please update it by referring to a transparent version on my website at http://alfredo4570.net/pix/ssaa_logo_transparent_2013_03_29.png — Preceding unsigned comment added by Lacis alfredo (talk • contribs) 23:01, 28 March 2013 (UTC)

The article Newbury, New South Wales has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

a housing estate, not a suburb, and an unreferenced stub of no notability

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles 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 article 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.

Hello. You are invited to join Darius Dhlomo Drive, a project which aims to cleanup and resolve one of the oldest copyright investigations on the sire. We hope that you will join and help to clean what's left of the copyright violations. You are getting this invitation because you have helped out previously, and I am inviting you back to hopefully wrap this up. Wizardman 01:43, 14 April 2013 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading File:Advertiser front page 12-12-2005.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Re new categories for sport by year in Angola, the CAR, Benin, Botswana and Burundi; you have created several of these categories for 2013 eg Category:2013 in Angolan sport and then left them empty, hence they have been tagged for deletion. When I create these categories (eg for sport in Algeria and Mexico) I usually create several years eg back to 2010 not just the current year, and put at least some articles in the category immediately. This stops any deletion moves and also any need for someone to monitor these empty categories. As there are only 5 countries I will add the sports articles for these years (using [[Wikipedia:HOTCAT] but would suggest that you do not leave any more new categories empty Hugo999 (talk) 10:07, 14 August 2013 (UTC)

Hi Hugo, the relevant nation at the 2013 World Aquatics Championships article was placed in the category. These articles were removed and placed in the 2013 in nation category. -- Ianblair23 (talk) 12:07, 14 August 2013 (UTC)

Hi Ian, just wanted to touch base.

Are you aware that a page that you originally created is being altered? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_schools_in_Victoria,_Australia I'm sure the person's intentions are good but I'm not sure they understand the situation with Australian schools. I have asked the person to outline a scope of the changes and the perceived benefits but haven't a direct response. Do you have any comments?

Hi there! You are cordially invited to an edit-a-thon this Saturday (21 September) in Sydney at the State Library of New South Wales (SLNSW), where you can collaborate with other Wikipedians throughout the day. Andy Carr, a senior librarian at SLNSW will also be helping out. The theme of the edit-a-thon is paralympics sports, but you are free to come along to meet other wiki contributors, and edit other topics.

If you are unable to attend in person, we will also be collaborating online. Details and an attendee list are at Wikipedia:Meetup/Sydney/September 2013. Hope you can make it! John Vandenberg 09:18, 19 September 2013 (UTC)

There is a backstage pass coming up to be followed by an editathon in the State Library of New South Wales on 23 November. This is the first time that an Australian cultural institution has opened its doors to us in this way and will be a special opportunity because the Library is providing: one of its best rooms; its expert curators (along with their expertise and their white gloves); a newly launched website (containing new resources); and of course, items from its collection (including rare and usually unavailable material) which we can look at, learn from, and use, to improve WP articles. For example, on the chosen topic (Australia and WWI), the Library holds many diaries and manuscripts from the period.

As you can see from the Library's project page, they have connected this editathon with their own work. They have already set out a wide range of resources to make things easier for us. Please sign up on the editathon project page if you can participate either online or in person with other Wikipedians. Hope to see you there! Lankiveil ^{(speak to me)} 12:22, 3 November 2013 (UTC)

This category has been proposed for Speedy Deletion as its only contents are Category:Singaporean kickboxers which is an empty category. If you know of any articles that could be assigned to these two categories please do so to prevent their deletion. Thanks! Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 16:10, 13 December 2013 (UTC)
