[edit] Balmain East

203.217.94.144 claims that Balmain East is not a suburb as such. According to the Geographical Names Act 1966, NSW suburb designation is the responsibility of the Geographical Names Board.[1] According to the them, Balmain East is a fully fledged suburb.[2]. I'll revert the change, and make the relevent changes to Balmain East. Chovain 23:04, 13 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Residents

I decided to be bold and made some changes to the "Famous residents" section. I hope noone minds, but I think the changes were important to avoid the list getting out of control with unconfirmed and non-notable additions. I'm not overly attached to the new format, so feel free to massacre it if you like :). Chovain 08:58, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
