[edit] Separate page for the Local Government Area

As per discussion at Talk:List of Sydney suburbs, I have created a separate page for the City of Parramatta, the Local Government Area. -- Ianblair23 11:56, 30 August 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Page move

This page was moved from "Parramatta" to "Parramatta, New South Wales" as per the naming convention set out at Wikipedia:Naming conventions (places) – Ianblair23 16:26, 30 August 2005 (UTC)


[edit] SydneySuburbBox2

I have added the box, but it is not displaying correctly. I have places a comment on the template discussion page to try and get a fix. Yewenyi 21:07, 4 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Minor clean up

There was a section about a German gang, which I deleted on the grounds that it was severely misspelled, did not cite references, and is irrelevent as other pages about major towns do not have sections on gangs. I guess if someone strongly disagrees with this action, they'll reverse the edit. Naysie 13:47, 24 February 2007 (UTC)

German gang? German gang?? I thought the major gang in Chinatown was Slavic?!!--Jack Upland (talk) 11:05, 6 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] National Estate

Do we really need this section? If you don't know the suburb it conveys nothing.--Jack Upland (talk) 11:07, 6 December 2007 (UTC)

I think it is useful, but only if we link the items in the list to their own articles (as per Lennox Bridge). That means we need to do more work! Ryanwiki (talk) 09:37, 16 January 2008 (UTC)
But why? Surely we can list or describe landmarks without bracketing them like this...???--Jack Upland (talk) 09:29, 17 January 2008 (UTC)
I think we're talking about two different things: Are you suggesting we delete the list or add descriptions? I'd support the latter, as they are important landmarks that contribute to the bearings, history and character of the city. Sure, we could put the descriptions on the page, and also link to another article if there is enough information to warrant it. (For example, I think Parramatta Park could be a contender for its own article.) Removing the subheading "National Estate" and subsuming the list under "Landmarks" may also be helpful. Do you agree?

I've made some changes to standardise the article, so that it looks more like other Sydney suburb articles. I use Summer Hill, New South Wales as a guide because it seems to be the most complete article, so far, and has one of the best ratings. J Bar (talk) 03:11, 18 January 2008 (UTC)
