Private islands of Tasmania?

I don't know if you know the answer to this. What is the difference between {{cat|Private islands of Tasmania}} and {{Cat|Freehold islands of Tasmania}}? Most of the time when an island is "private", the land of the island is held in freehold. Is there something special about this terminology in Tasmania?

Ratty Island

Yeh, Rottnest Island needed a bit of work, probably needs more. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Do you know if the Rottnest Island Authority still exists (looks like it does), has it moved from an independent body to a division/ section/ group/ part of the WA Department of Biodiversity, Conservation and Attractions it was 'merged' into?

The text makes no mention of the Rottnest Island Foundation, (https://www.rottnestfoundation.org.au/) or its conection to isle, though I have added a link in the external links section.

All seems well. That will teach me to use an {{tl|In use}} template in future, though the edit started out small and just grew and grew and … I found a particularly good source [https://www.perthnow.com.au/news/wa/rottnest-channel-swim-humble-start-for-homegrown-icon-ng-3e2e5342457ad08e2143fda388930373 here]. :-\ Regards, 220 of ßorg 16:08, 17 February 2021 (UTC)

so blue, oh so blue

Yes. The ledes of the Diocese articles are also frustratingly lacking in uniformity. Up until now, I've been concentrating on the infoboxes, but one day I'm going to tackle the ledes and other sections as well. They need tidying up. Bahnfrend (talk) 08:39, 21 February 2021 (UTC)

Hi JarrahTree, Please review https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cheman_Shaik, and advice me. It is under Afd currently: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Cheman_Shaik

There are 5 votes for Delete and none for Keep. However, considering that wikipedia is a place for subjective and rational decision making adhering to its various notability guidelines, I'm hopeful. Hope you will not ignore my request on the basis of majority of Delete votes.Wisdomwiki 40 (talk) 05:26, 27 February 2021 (UTC)

Category nominated for renaming

Please see my nomination of :Category:Tourism by state or territory in Australia for speedy renaming Hugo999 (talk) 02:50, 5 January 2021 (UTC)

  • Glad you agree about renaming Hugo999 (talk) 07:45, 5 January 2021 (UTC)

yes still here!

Hey, yes still around, just things have been hectic, don't get much of a chance to edit... occasionally I see something that prompts a quick run of fixes though! -- Chuq (talk) 13:28, 7 January 2021 (UTC)

Edit conflicts

Please be more careful when there's an edit conflict, eg [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Mitch_Ames&diff=999297230&oldid=999296947] (corrected [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Mitch_Ames&diff=999412004&oldid=999301766 here]). This sort of thing has happened before, so you are politely reminded about H:EC. If you're not getting an edit conflict warning, then it might be worth investigating why not.
