do you have to hand

a reasonable map that clearly indicates what either City of Perth, Landgate (or others) designate as the CBD ? would be usefult to know JarrahTree 05:25, 22 May 2018 (UTC)Reply

@JarrahTree: Hi, I don't know if I'm doing this right so please bear with me. There's a map in a document by the Government of WA - Department of Planning which shows the actual area designated the Central Business District "Perth Central Area" (PDF). p. 3.. Hope this helps. MadamePhoenica (talk) 06:00, 22 May 2018 (UTC)Reply
excellent - thank you for that - just what I needed - interestingly the text in that document actually owns up to the problem:-

A number of terms are used interchangeably to describe Central Perth: the Central Area; theCentral Business District (CBD); the City Centre, and the Core Area. These boundaries express both strict and loose definitions and are often not clearly understood.

At least someone in the Planning bureaucracy is honest... JarrahTree 04:16, 23 May 2018 (UTC)Reply

To add to Newcastle_Street,_Perth if you are interested - it is potentially an important one due to the history found along it. JarrahTree 15:36, 5 June 2018 (UTC)Reply

Will definitely have a further look at it and see what other information I can add to it. Cheers for that. MadamePhoenica (talk) 04:22, 8 June 2018 (UTC)Reply

Your submission at Articles for creation: KXM (KXM album) (May 30)

edit
Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed. Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by ToadetteEdit was:
This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of music-related topics). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.
Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit after they have been resolved.

Drafts that go unedited for six months are eligible for deletion, in accordance with our draftspace policy, and this one 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 edit the submission, and remove the {{db-afc}}, {{db-draft}}, or {{db-g13}} code.

You are invited to participate in the Destubathon of the Americas, a contest/editathon which will run from May 1 to May 31. The goal is to destub as many of our 475,000+ stubs for the Americas (from Alaska down to Chile) as possible. A good chance to have fun in expanding many of our old stale stubs and win up to £2000 ($2680) in Amazon vouchers for expanding stub articles. Sign up in the Contestants/participants section on the contest page if interested. Even if not interested in prizes you are still warmly welcome to participate in it as an editathon! Hopefully we can achieve something significant in the month of May together! ♦ Dr. Blofeld 17:14, 15 April 2026 (UTC)Reply
