[edit] References

Not being a Bendigo-an (hope that's not too much like bogan?) the best I could do was turn the references section into a set of links.

This seems to be a really well presented page and it does not at all seem to be a copyvio which is unusual for this class of page (in my experience for pages for towns/cities that don't clearly show a list of sources).

Hope my (minor) contributions are helpful. If someone who has a bit better local knowledge can explicitly cite some of the sections that would be a good step in getting this article to the point of being a Featured Article Candidate. Garrie 00:13, 13 July 2006 (UTC)

For reference, the term they used for residents in Bendigo when I was last there was Bendigonian --James 02:03, 8 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Twin Towns

Ingolstadt, Germany is not a twin town of Bendigo [1][2]. So I removed it from the list. --Bonuama 16:41, 26 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Review "climate" article

I think the "climate" article should be longer. --Pezzar 08:05, 5 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Advertising

What the hell is this:

"Cody Carrara was the regions youngest vitner. His Shiraz tentatively titled Water Wheel was a bold combination of Bendigo grapes which harvested a full body taste capped with rich cherry tanins and smooth pepper and spices. Cody's 2004 vintage was awarded a 93 from Wine Spectator and has been critically accalmined by Eileen Crane. Water Wheel 2004 has shown loads of blackberry, licorice and mineral character. Full-bodied and very concentrated, with raspberry sauce and chocolate character and a long, long finish. Enjoy Cody Carrara's Bendigo's masterpiece."

I'm sure the wine is great, but this is not the forum to seek free advertising. Wampusaust 08:08, 12 August 2007 (UTC)

According to whitepages, Bendigo south/east/west/north is 3550, "BENDIGO FORWARD, VIC" is 3551, "BENDIGO (P.O. BOXES)" is 3552, & "BENDIGO DC (P.O. BOXES)" is 3554. Is this the appropriate article to record the postcode 3550 ? wtf is "Bendigo Forward" ? John Vandenberg (talk) 23:20, 11 March 2008 (UTC)

I've just gone ahead and added the postcode - I'm fairly confident 3550 refers to Bendigo accurately, and this is kinda useful information... Privatemusings (talk) 23:23, 11 March 2008 (UTC)
