[edit] NPOV

Two concepts from Neutral point of view, an official Wikipedia policy, which apply here:

  • "Alternatively: assert facts, including facts about opinions — but do not assert the opinions themselves."
  • "Let the facts speak for themselves"

With the clause "has a 'village charm' about it, and the shopkeepers know many of the residents personally", it's not merely a case of waiting for a citation to come up which says this - it's simply unverifiable. How would one define a "village charm"? Would someone else define it differently? Someone who lives in a village of 50 up near Mildura might think otherwise. Many people might not even find villages charming. It doesn't fit with the encyclopaedic neutral tone expected of Wikipedia articles. The second section is also unverifiable, and probably not even remarkable - in several places I have lived, that would be true. With the bar - "well received" according to or by whom? What state/national awards has it won? Only abysmal bars are not well-received by their own patrons. I hope I've explained my edit appropriately. While I believe the second part of my original edit addressed a similar concern, there is some argument that it is cited in the Age article, so I left it. Orderinchaos 11:05, 9 April 2007 (UTC)
