[edit] Racially intolerant

I'd like to mention that according to a recent study, Mosman was found to be one of the most racially/culturally intolerant areas of any in New South Wales or Australia or something. Is this appropriate?

[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 Municipality of Mosman, the Local Government Area. -- Ianblair23 11:15, 30 August 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Copyrighted Text?

I have reverted the large chunk of text that was added in April along with the chronology of Mosman events. Both looked as if they were cut-and-paste verbatim from another website Steve 05:41, 12 May 2006 (UTC)

And reverted when it was added again verbatim from http://www.mosman.nsw.gov.au/library/history.html Steve 23:49, 14 May 2006 (UTC)
And again, and again! Steve 00:32, 17 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Regarding History of Mosman text

Steve, the text as it appears on the our website (http://www.mosman.nsw.gov.au/library/history.html) was written by Librarians at Mosman Library. We are happy for it to appear on this page if the source is acknowledged; e.g. "- from 'History of Mosman', Mosman Library website" (hyperlinked)

I am not an expert in these things, but a cut and paste from an external website can only be done when that party explicitly "gives permission" to do so. In this case, I have seen administrators (I am not an admin, not yet anyway) tell the person who is claiming to be the presumed copyright holder to use the "email this user" option in the toolbox to send mail to an administrator from an email address that is associated with the organization which owns copyright to confirm that they really are the owners of the copyright. So I think you should get an account, set the email to your Mosman council email, and then email and administrator to verify that you are the copyright owner and are happy for it to be put on the wikipedia.

[edit] Infobox Update

This page has had its infobox updated to [[Template:Infobox Australian Place|Infobox Australian Place. This update has been automatically preformed by TheJoshBot. The following infomation has been lost in the transition, and will need to be converted to the document prose:

Field Name Field Value
council Mosman Municipal Council
ausborn 64.7
atsi 0.1
statistical_local_area 5350
federalmember Tony Abbot
I've put "council" in as LGA. I do not think "ausborn" and "atsi" are really needed (they're not particularly notable). SLA is not very interesting, and "federalmember" can be found via the Federal Division. Chovain 22:25, 28 November 2006 (UTC)
Now I'm confused. The info box seems to be for the LGA. But isn't this page the suburb of Mosman? Chovain 22:27, 28 November 2006 (UTC)
