Recently Jangari proudly told me that his Wikipedia page on Wagiman was ranked as "good" by wikimedia. Well they got that right. Check it out, it's fantastic. Good on you Mali. Give the man a PhD scholarship! He's clearly ready for big things.

Thanks for the plug, Jungurra. To be fair though, it has only been 'nominated' as a good article candidate and the backlog for administrators to go through and assess all the nominees - without being paid, mind you - means that it might be sitting there for quite some time.

Great stuff! only one online reference missing - the link to the E-repository copy of Wilson A.....

And, da-da!
today we learn that it has achieved "good article" status and is "the highest-rated article pertaining to an Australian language on Wikipedia". Go Jangari!
