[edit] Juanita Nielsen
Shouldn't this article have something about the disappearance of Juanita Nielsen, and the Victoria Street development in this area that was (allegedly) connected to it? It seems like a major incident in the history of this suburb. I would add something but I know nothing about the subject, I only heard of it a few minutes ago. --Vclaw 12:05, 26 October 2005 (UTC)
Paul Kelly had a song written about this town and its corruption in the late 1960's with crime, vice and corruption with the police and also in general.
[edit] Current Pictures
I think this article should have a picture of it today, the artcile states it has neon signs, so maybe post a picture of one of them. If anyone cares to show me how to post a picture (because I still don't know), that would be great, Thanks! Jackp 11:11, 12 June 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Why the move?
Why was the page moved to "Kings Cross Sydney" from Kings Cross, New South Wales? Nomadtales 05:22, 9 January 2007 (UTC)
- We run a not-for-profit information web site for this area and know that the most common search is for Kings Cross Sydney (Movieguy46 09:45, 10 January 2007 (UTC))
- I'd keep it as "Kings Cross, New South Wales". "Kings Cross Sydney" is ambiguous in that "Kings Cross" (postcode 2011) and "Sydney" (postcode 2000) are technically suburbs, so one cannot be in the other. Sydney is also ambiguous in that it can refer to a city or suburb or metropolis. NSW is unambiguous. Finally there is the issue that Sydney the metropolis does not have a formal boundary. Do we have "Sydney, Sydney", "Kings Cross, Sydney", "Leichhardt, Sydney", "Parramatta, Sydney", "Blacktown, Sydney", "Penrith, Sydney", "Glenbrook, Sydney", "Katoomba, Sydney", "Lithgow, Sydney", "Broken Hill, Sydney"? My point being where do we stop. If there is a concern that "Kings Cross Sydney" might be a more popular search (debatable and a poor reason for a move), why not fix it with a redirect from "Kings Cross Sydney" to "Kings Cross, New South Wales". In my opinion the article should be retuned to "Kings Cross, New South Wales". John Dalton 11:39, 10 January 2007 (UTC)
- I'll correct myself based on further investigation. Kings Cross isn't a formal suburb, though it does have a PO box postcode (1340). I still think that "Kings Cross, New South Wales" more consistent. For example the article for the locality of Thompsons Corner is at Thompsons_Corner,_New_South_Wales. I've moved it back on the basis that the original move was done without consultation, allowing a consensus to be reached. For the record my feelings are that it should stay as "Kings Cross, New South Wales", but the consensus should rule. John Dalton 12:05, 10 January 2007 (UTC)

- The article has been reverted to "Kings Cross, New South Wales", as per the discussion at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Sydney#Name dispute resolution, there is already a naming convention to adher to, see Wikipedia:Naming conventions (places)#Australia. Nomadtales 02:18, 11 January 2007 (UTC)
