Swapping Overland direction

Hello, I see you've reverted my edit to Southern Cross railway station. I wanted to explain why I have made these edits.
I swapped them so that they would be consistent with every other service. When I say 'convention', I use that as a substitute for making something the same as the majority. If theres a convention that states that it should be the same, I don't know it. LachlanTansey (talk) 00:29, 16 July 2026 (UTC)

Articles for Creation backlog drive

Hello Fork99:

WikiProject Articles for creation is holding a month long Backlog Drive in August!
The goal of this drive is to reduce the backlog of unreviewed drafts to less than a month of outstanding reviews from the current 3+ months. Bonus points will be given for reviewing drafts that have been waiting more than 30 days. The drive is running from 1 August 2026 through 31 August 2026.

You may find Category:AfC pending submissions by age or other categories and sorting helpful.

Barnstars will be given out as awards at the end of the drive.
There is a backlog of over 5000 pages, so start reviewing drafts. We're looking forward to your help! MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 00:37, 19 July 2026 (UTC)

• If you wish to opt-out of future mailings, please remove yourself from the mailing list or alternatively to opt-out of all massmessage mailings, you may add Category:Wikipedians who opt out of message delivery to your user talk page.

Would i be able to post a screenshot of OpenStreetMaps?

I was wondering if i could possibly post a image on Wikimedia Commons of a Screenshot that i took on OpenStreetMap of Bridport Road that i drew a red line on the route of bridport road, would it be possible to post it with out any copyright issues? 1Ink (talk) 00:56, 31 July 2026 (UTC)

@1Ink: Hi, I don't have any experience with creating or adding maps to articles. I don't know if OSM screenshots can be uploaded to Commons, you would need to enquire there as Commons is a separate project/website to the English Wikipedia. Please also note that some images are appropriate to upload locally to the English Wikipedia rather than Commons, however again, I do not know if these would be appropriate here either. You might find these links regarding copyright useful: Commons policy on screenshots, Wikipedia policy on images uploaded locally, OpenStreetMap copyright licensing

However, most road articles have an interactive map, for example, see the infobox of Bass Highway (Tasmania). Is there a reason why one can't be created for this rather than a static screenshot? I would suggest since neither of us know how to create these maps, that you have a look at Template:Map requested and place {{Map requested|Australia}} on the relevant talk pages of the article(s) you want a map for to request that someone else make one for it. Please see that template page's documentation linked earlier for how to use it.

Otherwise, if you want more information on maps on Wikipedia articles in general, see Wikipedia:Maps for Wikipedia. Fork99 (talk) 01:26, 31 July 2026 (UTC)
