[edit] Separate page for the Local Government Area

As per discussion at Talk:List of Sydney suburbs, I have created a separate page for Camden Council, the Local Government Area. -- Ianblair23 05:53, 30 August 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Cleaning suburbs in LGAs to remove redlinks

Hi, Can people who know or care about this LGA please have a look at this message and see if they can please help solve any redlinks in the "suburbs in this LGA" section of this page? -- All the best, Nickj (t) 08:33, 28 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Controversies

We need a discussion of the Islamic school issue so this article is more balanced! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 122.148.134.117 (talk) 06:05, 11 May 2008 (UTC)

This is definitely notable enough to be included. however it needs to be addressed practically in NPOV manner that accurately describes the issue. It should not be used as a coathanger to put general concerns about muslims in Australia and their treatment.

[edit] Demographics

Removed from article:

In Australia 125,000 people speak Arabic at home (Census 2006)[2] and of these people 42% were born in Australia! 340,000 Australians practice Islam. The majority of Muslim people originate from Lebanon or Turkey with significant numbers from Malaysia or Indonesia as well. In the greater metropolitan area of Sydney 96,617 people identified as practicing Islam in Census 2006.

Nice statistics, however they are not being put into context of this issue. Has someone used these statistics in context of the Camden proposal. Wikipedia should only include material directly pertinent to understanding this event/issue.

We cannot use independent statistics to prove points, even if logical or reasonable. This is synthesis. And violates guidelines on original research.--ZayZayEM (talk) 07:15, 28 May 2008 (UTC)
