Hi Mike,

We're contacting you for the annual Australia Project membership checkin. We really appreciate your involvement in the Project in the last year. Thank you so much for all your help to improve Australian profiles on WikiTree.

Please could you reply to this message, or send me a private message to let us know if you'd like to stay on in the Project, and if you'd like to make any changes to the teams that you belong to. The teams are listed on Australia Project Teams.

If you've moved on to other things for the moment, that's absolutely fine. We'd appreciate if you'd let us know so that we can remove you from the membership list.

Over the past year, Australia Project members have been more active on Discord. We're finding it a fun way to communicate as a project. As you are already a member of the dedicated Australia Project server (WikiAustralia) where all our chat channels are located, we hope you'll join the chat! It's a great way to communicate with other members on your project team/s, or for any general questions.

We're always happy to receive any ideas or suggestions that you have to make our project even better.

Looking forward to hearing from you!

The Australia Project Leadership Team ~ Gillian, Margaret and Veronica

Yes, I'm still interested in the Australia Team activities, especially sourcing.

Started going over some of my older profiles and have been tidying them up with inline sources, some stickers and categories. Also recently did a few profiles on the Unsourced Report for NSW (1800-1899) even though there is no current special contest. At some stage I'd like to get back into the shipping too. Mike

Hi Mike,

It's time for the annual Australia Project membership checkin. Thank you so much for contributing to the project and Australian profiles on WikiTree during the last year. We really appreciate you!

If you would like to stay in the project, please reply to this message or send me a private message to let us know that you would like to stay on. Alternatively, if your WikiTree and research interests have moved away from Australia, please let us know and we can remove you from the membership list for the moment. You will, of course, be very welcome to rejoin the project down the track whenever you want to.

We are also keen to know if you want to make any changes to the team or teams that you want to focus on. Take a look on Australia Project Teams to see what teams there are to choose from. If you want to discuss this, or have any questions or suggestions about the Australia Project we'd love to hear your ideas.

Thanks for taking the time to get back to us!

Kind Regards

Margaret Haining Membership Coordinator

Hi Margaret,

I'm still working on Australian material and would like to remain on the Australia Project. Still interested in doing some more work on the Voyages when I get a bit of spare time (a rarity recently). Mike

Hi Mike, thank you for doing the ship categories, just one thing, convict voyages have a different voyage parent category to immigrant voyages. See Category: Equestrian, Arrived 2 May 1844. Thanks again, regards, Margaret

Ah yeah, missed that bit (oops - first convict one). Got some details for the Auriga so I've changed it to waiting rename and added a note as to what the new name should be. Think I got it right - haven't requested a rename before.

Hi Mike, thanks for finding the info on Auriga, actually that maintenance category you added is never used, so it wouldn't have got very far. We have this project help page on renaming a category, that will give you all the steps for re-naming, How to Rename a Category Successfully

The old category will then look like this. Also, no ref tags or headings on category pages, this page outlines general category guidelines.

Thanks again for your help, regards, Margaret.

Mike Young

Thanks Margaret. I was looking for that information but I was looking in the help pages (which were not that helpful). What is documented there is perfectly clear - it is creating the new category, transferring the data and getting editbot to update the profiles and sub-categories to point to the new name once it is approved. At least now I have a link to it.

Margaret (Gale) Haining

All good, we have a few category help pages I've done, all accessed on the Categories team page, via Project Resources. Thanks again for all your help. Regards, Margaret. :)

Hi Mike. Welcome to WikiTree and to the NSW Team! I hope you find your experience here to be as positive and enlightening and mine as been, if not more so.

In terms of what you might wish to do as part of the team I will leave that completely up to you. As we are all volunteers it basically means we can determine our own priorities. Personally, I probably only spend around 25% of my time on profiles that I am involved with managing; the rest are those that I can see need some care and attention. Most often I focus on those which are 'orphans' where there is no current profile manager.

If you have a look on the NSW Team page (https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Space:Australia_Project_-_New_South_Wales_Team) you can see all of there and something about those who wish to share. You will also see a link there to the weekly Suggestion List for NSW profiles (https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Automated:DD_Suggestion_List_AUS_NSW) and if you are ever bored there are heaps of things there to work on.

I highly recommend that you check out the Australia Project Resources page (https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Space:Australia_Project_Resources).

Anyway, please feel free to reach out if I can help in any way at all. Take care and, above all, enjoy your experience here.

Cheers

Hi again Mike,

We are so happy you decided to upgrade to the Family Member level.

Please visit our tutorial pages to learn how to use WikiTree: How To Use WikiTree. They will save you time, energy, and frustration as you add your family profiles.

Exploring the site is the best way to learn. One way to do that is to check out the drop-down menus on the top right side of your profile page. Finding a known ancestor and collaborating with the profile manager is another great way to start.

Questions? You can always use the G2G link in the Help Menu to find answers.
