[edit] "The Hon."

I'm not too sure about Andrew Tink, as I seem to remember his being referred to as "The Hon.", but the Parliament of NSW site indicates he is "Mr." rather than "The Hon.", which is applied to other MPs such as Bob Carr.

[edit] Ethnic mix

Do we have any firm data for the references to the "Chinese community"? If not, it should be removed. --Daveb 01:24, 19 May 2005 (UTC)

It could be gleaned from ABS data, I suppose, but I've replaced it with the some of the population statistics... -Techelf 10:24, 19 May 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Safe Seats

The section on safe seats needs to be reworked. The AEC has definitions of "safe", "fairly safe" and "marginal".

  • <56% of the 2 party vote = marginal
  • 56-60% of the 2 party vote = fairly safe
  • >60% of the 2 party vote = safe

Current status is:

[edit] Bus routes section

This was removed; I'll put it back later when I can find better references: There are a number of bus services which pass through Carlingford. Harris Park Transport, a now defunct bus company, used to operate routes 623, 624, 625, 628, and 629 which pass through the suburb. The 630 was operated by Red Arrow, a joint-venture of Harris Park Transport and Westbus. As of February 2005, these former Harris Park services (with the exception of route 630) are operated by Sydney Buses (State Transit Authority of New South Wales). Previously routes 513 and 521 were the only Sydney Buses services through Carlingford. The former 621 and 622 Citybus Direct (owned by Harris Park Transport) routes from Carlingford to the city proved to be uneconomical and were eliminated.[1] JRG 06:21, 5 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] reverting edit regarding channel seven studios

I have reverted some recent edits to the Epping and Carlingford pages. AFAIK, the channel 7 studios are in Epping, not 'the Epping Carlingford area'. Let's be specific. Is there something about the Carlingford connection I am missing? it seems to be included only so the Carlingford article can claim some ownership of the studios.

please consider these issues , and discuss here before making any reversionsWotherspoonSmith 14:02, 12 September 2007 (UTC)

It appears that on 17:46, 21 September 2007, the user 60.229.12.138 made an edit (159337689) regarding this topic. He/she has also made some stupid (it appears that way) mistakes e.g. there is no show called "Home and Away - Holiday Coast" and the MIX101.1 station is not even located in Sydney, let alone Carlingford. I have removed the sentence added. - Cula 13:39, 9 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Carlingford Church of England Homes

The information re the childrens homes and schooling is incorrect. I was a child in these homes from 1953 to 1964 and have first hand knowledge of where we went to school. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 124.183.163.117 (talk) 07:54, 12 March 2008 (UTC) Thanks- it has been removed.--WotherspoonSmith (talk) 12:12, 12 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Unjustified claim in Services section

In the "Services" section of the article, it says "Carlingford is the site for the control room for the New South Wales electricity grid. [citation needed]"

This does not appear to be possible and here are my reasons:

Hence I am removing this unjustified statement from the article. Cula (talk) 16:36, 2 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Kingsdene

I've noticed that the article "kingsdene, new south wales" redirects to Carlingford. What's the connection between the two? It's never explained in the article. Was Kingsdene an earlier name for Carlingford? Is Kingsdene a locality within Carlingford?

I've never heard about "Kingsdene" before I was using Google Earth today, which lists Kingsdene is listed as if it were a suburb. Intrugued by this, I went to look it up in Wikipedia, only be redirected to Carlingford. Also, there is no reference to "Kingsdene" in the UBD.

Could somebody explain to me what Kingsdene is (or was), and then perhaps we could put some information into this article about it.

The only reference on the New South Wales Government Geographical Names Board website is 'Kingsdene Oval' Designation: Reserve LGA: Baulkham Hills. No suburb or locality in NSW. J Bar (talk) 23:02, 2 June 2008 (UTC)
