[edit] Improvement suggestions

I think the events should be ordered by date with sub headings by month or quarter. Some event sseem to have no dates with them at present. --Matilda talk 19:43, 9 December 2007 (UTC)

OK, I added subheadings and sorted by date. I'll try and dish up some more dates. Dihydrogen Monoxide 02:25, 10 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] References?

None of us, including me, seem to be adding references to this article as we are adding? Shouldn't we be doing so, especially if there is not a reference to the event in a linked article? -- Mattinbgn\talk 00:06, 11 December 2007 (UTC)

  • I think there should be a reference in the linked article, if not add one there as otherwise it will look cluttered and patchy - somethings referenced and others not - for example you wouldn't need to reference Melbourne Cup winners as we have a list of them. Similalry incumbents have lots of documentation elsewhere. So for consistency and to keep it clean the linked article must have a reference to support the fact.--Matilda talk 00:13, 11 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Australia of the Year

Hi - I saw the Seekers were moved becuase they were actually announced in 1968 (and appear in the article 1968 in Australia). Jack Brabaham was the 1966 Australian of the Year [1] but I don't have a date for the announcement. I thought they were announced on Australia Day but saw The Seekers' announcement was 17 Jan so that can't be right. Can anybody help with the announcement dates. Thanks--Matilda talk 04:06, 11 December 2007 (UTC)

Re the references, I have added these in and will continue to as I feel that the other articles aren't clear with their refs. Littleteddy (talk) 11:15, 15 December 2007 (UTC)
The Seekers was certainly 1967. See the references - somewhere there! I don't know about the other one... Littleteddy (talk) 10:59, 1 January 2008 (UTC)
