It is where this writer, contributor Dr Adam Carr, lives.
The Scottish island is always called St not Saint as claimed here.--JBellis 20:45, 4 Feb 2005 (UTC)
The Times Atlas of the World gives St Kilda. Adam 04:03, 5 Feb 2005 (UTC)
Edit: Removed periods "." after "St" as it is not an abbreviation of "Saint". Rather it is a bastardisation of "Skildar". Both the local council (Port Phillip) and Australia Post use "St Kilda" without the period. Neolux 08:32, 28 May 2005 (UTC)
I agree, and in fact this article ought to be moved to St Kilda, Victoria. Adam 04:39, 29 May 2005 (UTC)
No-one having objected, I have moved it accordingly. Adam 09:45, 31 May 2005 (UTC)

- Was the suburb named after the ship, the immigrants, or the Scottish island.. or a combination thereof? (http://www.kilda.org.uk/facts.htm)

[edit] Cricket?
Is there an article for St Kilda Cricket Club? This article from cricinfo claims that it's Shane Warne's club side, would've thought it would be notable--Gavinio 20:50, 21 December 2006 (UTC)
-
- Maybe that info is connected to this, from Warne's wikipedia page: During his suspension, he considered working for the St Kilda Saints Australian rules football club as an assistant coach, before the Australian Football League told the club that it would be inappropriate to have somebody suspended for a drug offence advising its players.

- Good point, but the info belongs in the Junction Oval article. I have updated both articles as this one didn't mention the cricket club.--Biatch 00:24, 10 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Peanut farm
Why is there no mention of the "peanut farm"? Surely the peanut farm is/was an important part of the heritage of St Kilda?129.94.6.29 02:30, 30 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Cleanup?
Apart from the to-do list above, I get the impression that this article is overloaded with images in the form of galleries. Should we consider trimming the images and keeping one or two notable pictures for each section? --Scottie_theNerd 21:36, 17 April 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Established Date ?
The article states that St Kilda was founded in 1857. Yet the infobox says St Kilda was established in 1867. Which is correct ? There is a mention of the original Saint Kilda Football Club being formed in 1857. How is this possible if the suburb was not established until a decade later ? --Rulesfan 01:20, 28 June 2007 (UTC)
