[edit] Suggestion
This page is a valuable informative and visual source with many quality images of Marrickville. Perhaps if someone could note who manufactures Marrickville Road Shops awning adornments it would be appreciated.
[edit] Separate page for the Local Government Area
As per discussion at Talk:List of Sydney suburbs, a separate page has been created for Marrickville Council, the Local Government Area. -- Ianblair23 11:05, 30 August 2005 (UTC)
Removed Marrickvillia blog as it has nothing to do with Marrickville!--210.84.35.147 13:46, 22 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Marrickville Metro a locality?
Australia Post recognises it, Geoscience Australia doesn't. http://www1.auspost.com.au/postcodes/index.asp?Locality=marrickville+metro&sub=1&State=&Postcode=&submit1=Search http://www.ga.gov.au/bin/gazm01?placename=Marrickville+Metro&placetype=R&state=NSW
A locality is by definition unofficial anyway - so it's entirely debatable.
The residential area of Marrickville around Enmore Park (close to Marrickville Metro Shopping Centre) is entirely separated by light industrial zoning from the rest of Marrickville [1]. It has a character more similar to Enmore than the rest of Marrickville. It also has it's own post office. Hence residents often refer to it as Marrickville Metro. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 202.129.79.59 (talk) 06:34, 9 January 2007 (UTC).
- No, a locality isn't necessarily unofficial. Localities, neighbourhoods and "historical localities" are gazetted by the Geographical Names Board (eg [2] [3]). "Marrickville Metro" isn't, which is why it doesn't appear on the Geoscience Australia database. As you say, there is a post office at the Metro, which is why Australia Post uses the name for a delivery area. The fact that residents refer to the area with that name is slightly strange at first, but that is the way names evolve, and it may lead to it being gazetted. Until then, or at least until there is a serious source, not jsut what some residents use, I don't think it should be mentioned in the lead section on the same level as Marrickville South. Of course, adding information about the different natures of different parts of Marrickville as part of a "Geography" or "Characteristics" section would be great, as long as it is verifiable and not original research.

[edit] Distance from CBD
A distance of 6.3 km is much too precise for areas as big as the CBD and Marrickville. The distance varies quite a bit depending on which part of both you measure from. Given that one of the other options "Cocky flies" gives for Sydney-Marrickville is 7km [4], and the location it is using for "Marrickville" in both cases is closer to the city than a lot of the suburb, I think 7 km is probably a fair measurement to the nearest km.

[edit] Federterranian Houses
Not too sure how relevant this is, and if it is included it should perhaps be shown in conjunction with typical Federation Architecture in the area to highlight the juxtaposition bewtween the original and renovated styles. Otherwise i think it should be deleted —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 202.148.231.210 (talk) 02:47, 16 January 2007 (UTC).
