Hello, : )
Please note that I'm not the professional photographer with the same name who is based in Melbourne Victoria Australia
I'm currently having fun adding in links to wiki articles and also adding photos.
Please feel free to make comments, suggestions. etc. on how I can improve my edits!
ta,
johnscotaus.

Hi Johnscotaus! Thanks for contributing to Wikipedia. |
New sections in talk pages[edit]
Hi John, thanks for your edits to Port and its talk page. However, new sections shouldn't be added to the top of the page as you did there; they should be added to the bottom of the page using the new section link, near the "Edit this page" link. Graham87 12:34, 20 March 2015 (UTC)
Ta for pointing that tab out. Will use it.
A barnstar for you![edit]

Waterfall image[edit]
Hi Johnscotaus. I just wanted to answer the question you posed in your edit summary. The short answer, in my opinion, is no. The longer answer: the image you added is a beautiful photo of a beautiful waterfall, but we have lots of those. Hundreds, at least. Currently, the images at the top of the article depict the highest waterfall on Earth plus the largest waterfalls on each major continent except Asia (because it's no longer clear what the largest one there is). I think this is a good standard to follow because it avoids relying on subjective criteria when deciding what image to include. I hope that makes sense. In any event, for the time being, I have moved the image in question to the gallery section, where it looks amazing. Rivertorch's Evil Twin (talk) 01:05, 28 June 2016 (UTC)

Examples of little locality articles[edit]
hi Johnscotaus, thought you might like to look at these examples of stubby locality articles - Tooma, New South Wales and Yuluma, New South Wales. As you can see, although they are only a few lines in length, the infoboxes have a good bit of info, and of course they have photos. :) Coolabahapple (talk) 22:48, 14 February 2018 (UTC)
Georgie Tunny moved to draftspace[edit]
An article you recently created, Georgie Tunny, does not have enough sources and citations as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.

Your draft article, Draft:Georgie Tunny[edit]
Hello, Johnscotaus. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "Georgie Tunny".
In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been nominated for deletion. If you plan on working on it further, or editing it to address the issues raised if it was declined, simply and remove the {{db-afc}}, {{db-draft}}, or {{db-g13}} code.
If your submission has already been deleted by the time you get there, and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion by following the instructions at this link. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.
Thanks for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing. Lapablo (talk) 07:59, 5 May 2019 (UTC)
