[edit] Picture

That picture in the ext links would've been great. If only it had been taken two months earlier, we could use it! Augh.

You mean "Patrons of the Northern Club Hotel toast introduction of 10 pm closing" [1]? I'm not sure that we can't use it[2]. But I suggest we just ask - I'm pretty sure they'll give us permission if we explain what we want to do with it. That said, it would have to go in the section "Extension of closing time" so we still need something for the lead section. Ben Aveling 23:37, 14 January 2006 (UTC)
This won't fly - we can't use with-permission-only images on Wikipedia anymore. It'll have to be free, so we'll probably need pfctdayelise's image. Ambi 23:44, 14 January 2006 (UTC)
I see. I still think we can use it.

I'm 100% sure we come under the first paragraph. But I'm only 98% sure we escape the second paragraph, which is what I'd want to check.
Re the below request, they say that requests should happen within 30 days. Given that nothing has happened yet, I'm not hopeful of getting a response before the end of the collaboration, at least, not unless we get in touch with them, which is possible.

I made a request for this image to be digitised:

Title : Men at the pub, Glen Innes, NSW [photographic image] / photographer, W Brindle. 1 photographic negative: b&w, acetate
Date : 1948
Primary subject : Not Assigned
Secondary subject : Not Assigned
Image no. : A1200, L10134
Barcode : 8914651
Location : Canberra

So we should soon be able to find it from this search. --pfctdayelise 12:30, 25 November 2005 (UTC)

Nothing yet. I've made another request. We'll see. Regards, Ben Aveling 23:37, 14 January 2006 (UTC)

Seems something has happened? http://naa12.naa.gov.au/scripts/PhotoSearchItemDetail.asp?M=0&B=8914651&SE=0 Regards, Ben Aveling 02:27, 7 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Six o'clock swill in popular culture

I added the "Six o'clock swill in popular culture" section. It doesn't gel well with the rest of the article, so maybe it could be worked into the main text, or expanded as a section. An An 23:04, 9 January 2006 (UTC)

I've used it to build a new lead section with. The current article still mostly talks about the start and the end of six o'clock closing, rather than about the swill proper.

One article we could draw on might be [3]

We still need some images. Google image search on "six o'clock swill" returns some good ones from NZ. We'd have to get permission to use them of course.

[edit] Images

OK, check this one out. It's a drawing, kinda crap, crowd outside a pub (very relevant). 1945. Australian War Memorial copyright (or so they claim). Thoughts about public domain-ness? If it wasn't published, it might not be PD. Lack of picture is annoying me so I'm adding a random one of beer. pfctdayelise 14:41, 20 January 2006 (UTC)
