Articles requiring cleanup

The cleanup listing, linked to on the right, is an automatically generated list of articles using cleanup templates. The old unmaintained list (linked here as people have been using it as a worklist) is at Wikipedia:WikiProject Western Australia/Cleanup listing.

Project banner

A project banner is displayed on an article's talk page to flag the article as related to Western Australia. This is a parameter within the Australian banner:

• {{WP Australia|WA=yes}} - instructions are here
  • If the article already has the WP Australia banner, just add WA=yes inside the brackets

• {{Freopedia}} - a Fremantle and Freopedia related article

• NOTE: - This does not generally include editing in project space, corrections, adjustments or maintenance issues in main space or talk page space

• The allocation of the award is from the aggregation of positive and constructive edits and additions that are not strictly calendrical but approximate the overall benefit to the project, it has nothing to do with competition or winning it is a subjectively designated appreciation of positive contribution of content to the project

Oddities and contenders for various accolades

Contenders for oddest and oldest articles and categories about Western Australia

• Talk:Connie Sue Highway - the first WA highway article
• WhyRossum, the first Wikipedian from WA
• Margaret River, the first WA town to have a Wikipedia article
• Gosnells, the first part of Perth to get a Wikipedia article, besides the Perth metropolitan area
• UTC+8:45 - possibly a unique time zone unto itself?
• Emu War - the talk page items are quite telling
• CRI Perth - Beijing direct in Perth?

Moondyne's reply (to the first entry in the list above) would have to be a strong contender for the most belated reply! (4.5 years) GlenDillon 07:18, 25 October 2008 (UTC)
