"Frozen Bozer" – It's very cold today and Bozer reminds the machines to put in their anti-freeze. Trouble is, he's so busy reminding everyone else that he forgets to put some in himself. Diggs, not wanting Bozer to be embarrassed is determined to put in some anti-freeze without anyone knowing, but sometimes when you're in a rush, it's hard to keep a secret.

You've got something on your user page about 'Australia'. I'd like to test out the idea of collaborating on local news about the region within the category talk page, like Wikipedia does with WikiProjects. Could you please kindly:
1) If you're interested in reading news-related discussions about Australia, click 'Subscribe' at the top right of this page;
2) Enable 'quick reply' in your preferences [Enable quick replying ] at this page (scroll down)
3) Refresh this page. A 'reply' link will appear at the end of this message. Click it and introduce yourself in 5-6 words, maybe which state you're in, are you doing journalism for a job, and/ or more if you wish!
4) If you know another user who is from Australia and has a wiki account, tag their nick in your message.
(I'm not going to ping you about this again. If you don't reply, I'll consider that you're unavailable.)
I am hoping that being in the same region can help to collaborate on writing local news more efficiently, and it could be a fun and engaging process.
Thank you. :-)

Suggestion
Hi Hawkeye7, I am pinging you because you chatted above. Hi @CheatCodes4ever, I am pinging you because you expressed interest in Australia on the signup page. And RockerballAustralia because I know you're here in the region.
Currently there is one in review queue:
- Regulator proposes florfenicol ban from salmon farms south-east of Tasmania (Gryllida wrote it and cannot review)
One recently published:
- Caloundra through to next round of 2026 Australia Cup preliminaries (RockerballAustralia)
I am proposing that you all click 'Subscribe' on this talk page, and check your Echo notifications frequently - if you agree, I could start posting new draft creations for Australia topic here. Is that something you would like me to do?
