Hello, Bezza84, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of the pages you created, such as People who have walked across Australia, may not conform to some of Wikipedia's guidelines, and may soon be deleted.
There's a page about creating articles you may want to read called Your first article. If you are stuck, and looking for help, please come to the New contributors' help page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, you can just type {{helpme}} on this page, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Here are a few other good links for newcomers:
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.
Just a heads up... please make sure that you do not delete maintenance tags on articles until the issues those tags reference have been addressed. You were correct to remove the {{PROD}} tag, as that is entirely within your right to do so, but the other maintenance tags should remain until the issues have been addressed. Thanks!

I noticed you just started working on a grid view of the List of deaths on eight-thousanders. For this I just want to convey my praise as the page has been a bit of a mess since way back when. Due to lack of time (who doesn't suffer from that?) I won't be able to help you out with it but just wanted to point your attention to a similar list I compiled. User:Qwrk/Sandbox/Template_grid_for_future_use is a rough draft of a grid view I set up for a list of books on K2. You might wanna have a look at the source code (but please don't change anything) to see if it can be of any use to you. A static version can be found here; User:Qwrk/Sandbox/K2_books_reworked
Good luck and keep up the good work. Qwrk (talk) 21:14, 7 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for the kind words Qwrk - I help where I can. I'm a bit of a stickler for trying to make sure that people who accomplish something remarkable (or in this case, pay the ultimate price trying) receive some proper recognition for their efforts - even if it is only a well-formatted Wikipedia article. Thanks for the link to your sandbox project too. I've already found something I like lol (the sort function). Cheers. Bezza84 (talk) 21:51, 7 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
You's doing good , I see ;-) It's kinda late here, so I best hit the deck, but I'll do me best to fill in some blanks. Two thumbs up for ya, Bezza! Qwrk (talk) 22:33, 7 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
G'day Bezza84,
May I point at the following link; [Fatalities - Everest], a PDF of all fatalities on Everest. In the download section there are more PDF's to be found that might be of interest to you. I'm off for some chores and will try to peek in later today. Grrtttzzzz, Qwrk (talk) 10:12, 8 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks champ, will do. I noticed there was an edit conflict earlier (which I assume was you) lol. To prevent duplication of effort, might I suggest that we each work on a different mountain? My intention was to combine them all at the end to form one massive list. Bezza84 (talk) 11:01, 8 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Nope, it wasn't me, but I've seen an edit by an IP-editor. Apart from that PDF and the link to 8000ers.com I do have two additional suggestions for the moment. If you feel like a sortable table would be a nifty thing I'd suggest you enter the dates as YYYY/MM/DD, as that way you'd avoid having to enter the date of demise twice, which could additionally lead to typos or unwanted errors. Second - as this is quite a page to work on - it might be an idea to copy the whole shebang to an extra page inside your sandbox. You'd be able to poke and change any amount of data without others disturbing you, and once you're done you copy and paste the whole lot into the desired page. That is how my sandbox page on K2 books ended up being a complete page here; List of books about K2. Qwrk (talk) 12:13, 8 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Cheers. I've already lost interest in the sort function (many of the columns aren't sort worthy, and the chronological format is the most appropriate format anyway). The Manual of Style also dictates that the date be in the format it is currently in, so if we went and changed it, there would be no chance of ever getting the list featured one day. All good about the Sandbox. I like the idea for new articles, but I prefer to work live for something like this which already exists. That gives others a chance to contribute when I'm not working on it, and generally makes it quicker (case in point - an IP has already jumped on board! :D ). I don't mind the occasional conflict edit - I just merge them, and move on to something else for a while. Once it is presentable, I reckon we should also approach an administrator and ask that the article be semi-protected. Given the nature of the content, I can imagine a lot of people will try to add the names of relatives etc who didn't climb... Bezza84 (talk) 19:59, 8 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Hello, Bezza84. Please check your email; you've got mail! It may take a few minutes from the time the email is sent for it to show up in your inbox. You can remove this notice at any time by removing the {{You've got mail}} or {{ygm}} template.
A tag has been placed on File:Dennis Bartell 1.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F2 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an image page for a missing or corrupt image or an empty image description page for a Commons-hosted image.
If you think that this notice was placed here in error, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion," which appears inside of the speedy deletion ({{db-...}}) tag (if no such tag exists, the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate). Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

If you created the article, please don't take offense. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Referencing for beginners, or ask at the help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the {{prod blp}} tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within ten days, the article may be deleted, but you can request that it be undeleted when you are ready to add one. Regards, SunCreator(talk)02:32, 7 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
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.
I have strong objections to this article being deleted. I created it for a reason - namely to address a lack of detail about the reasons behind the award being conferred by the Australian Geographic Society in earlier years. It is a notable award for Australians. Bezza84 (talk) 23:24, 6 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Australian Geographic Society Adventure Awards until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on good quality evidence, and our policies and guidelines.
Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion template from the top of the article. Mtking (edits) 04:54, 12 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Hi All. Just letting you know that we have another meetup planned for Melbourne, on Sunday, 26th February at 11am. More details can be found at the meetup page. Pizza will be provided. Look forward to seeing all of you there :-) SteveBot (talk) 22:50, 14 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Can you help? Wikimedia Australia will be holding an introductory training day for editing Wikipedia and related projects. With support from La Trobe University and Bendigo Community Health Services, it is for health information professionals across the region. It will also be open to other information community groups as well (regional historic societies, librarians and the like). The workshop is on Thursday, February 21, at Latrobe University Bendigo.
If you can help, please contact Leighblackall or Peterdownunder, or register directly at the Wikimedia page.Peterdownunder (talk) 23:37, 31 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Hello, Bezza84. Voting in the 2016 Arbitration Committee elections is open from Monday, 00:00, 21 November through Sunday, 23:59, 4 December to all unblocked users who have registered an account before Wednesday, 00:00, 28 October 2016 and have made at least 150 mainspace edits before Sunday, 00:00, 1 November 2016.
The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to impose binding solutions to disputes between editors, primarily for serious conduct disputes the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the authority to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail.
Hi, Wikipedia:WikiProject Oceania/The 10,000 Challenge and Wikipedia:WikiProject Australia/The 5000 Challenge are up and running based on Wikipedia:The 10,000 Challenge which has currently produced over 2300 article improvements and creations. The Australia challenge would feed into the wider region one and potentially New Zealand could have a smaller challenge too. The main goal is content improvement, tackling stale old stubs and important content and improving sourcing/making more consistent but new articles are also welcome if sourced. I understand that this is a big goal for regular editors, especially being summertime where you are, but if you'd like to see large scale quality improvements happening for Oceania and Australia like The Africa Destubathon, which has produced over 1700 articles in 5 weeks, sign up on the page. The idea will be an ongoing national editathon/challenge for the region but fuelled by a series of contests to really get articles on every province and subject mass improved. The Africa contest scaled worldwide would naturally provide great benefits to Oceania countries, particularly Australia and attract new editors. I would like some support from existing editors here to get the Challenges off to a start with some articles to make doing a Destubathon worthwhile and potentially bring about hundreds of improvements in a few weeks through a contest!
