Talk:Ages of consent in Australia and Oceania
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This article is part of the Age of consent group of articles project.
In the interest of accuracy and quality it was decided by consensus* to hold these pages to a high standard of verification and to avoid ambiguity through the use of prose (not dot points) discussing the relevant statutes, case law or other authorities.
To this end all information must be properly referenced. Where writing about legislation or other law, the appropriate statues and similar must be cited. Where appropriate, portions of the legislation can be quoted. Where possible, a link to an up-to-date online copy of the legislation can be included (preferably, but not necessarily, in English). It is preferable to include any such references in-line, rather than in a separate <ref> section at the bottom of the page. This is to make it easier for readers to find the references in context.
The unfettered age of consent should be in bold text, in order that it stand out. No other ages should be in bold text. Any exceptions to should then be discussed afterwards (close in age exceptions, same sex relations etc).
For an example of a properly formatted article see the Ages of consent in Australia and Oceania.
* (The original age of consent formatting discussions began here)

[edit] Queensland
- Added a link to Queensland's use of carnal knowledge as many people (including me at first) may have no idea what it is. (Angeles 10:45, 8 June 2006 (UTC))
- Made clear the reference of sodomy in relation to anal sex, as sodomy is a much broader subject. (Angeles 10:45, 8 June 2006 (UTC))
