[edit] geography section
I inserted a geography section at the top of the list. I hope this doesn't annoy anyone but my reasoning is that the geography of a country is the physical bedrock. You can have geography without people but you can't have people without geography. Oska 08:48, Dec 2, 2004 (UTC)
[edit] Geoscience Australia
Geoscience Australia[1] have a free place name search engine that is very comprehensive. Paul foord 06:04, 6 February 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Articles without images section
I notice there is the Articles_requiring_images section on this project page and there is the Request_for_images page as well. What is the difference between the two? Can I remove section 9 from this article and we all just work on the one page? Considering the link to the request page appears at the top of the Complete to-do list it should be sufficient. Otherwise it is a little confusing and pointless to have to maintain two seperate lists. - Shiftchange 01:24, 2 March 2006 (UTC)
[edit] New Category
Is there some reason why there is not a category for Australian inventions (splayds, stump-jump plough, etc.), Australian scientific discoveries (Helicobacter pylori), Australian engineeering marvels (Snowy Mountain Scheme), and Australian innovations (seat belt legislation). To me, all of these have a common theme -- the-over neglected role of scientific pursuits. I don't know how or where to make this suggestion for a new "Australian" category; so I have placed it here. I hope that somebody can kick this off in a good way and encourage Australians to remember that that have a very strong science/engineering heritage.129.94.6.30 00:12, 12 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Business in Australia
As a page already exists as Quest_Community_Newspapers, perhaps the proposed Quest Newspapers page listed for work here should simply be a re-direct to the other? (Being new here, I'm unsure as to how this might be achieved). MirDoc 04:06, 11 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Rename
I intend to move this and all related task pages to a new naming format based on Wikipedia:WikiProject Australia in the next day or so, unless there are any objections. This page's new title will become either Wikipedia:WikiProject Australia/To-do or Wikipedia:WikiProject Australia/Requests.--cj | talk 18:36, 8 February 2007 (UTC)
- I agree that this and related pages now belong to the WikiProject, not specifically the noticeboard. Support rename. --Scott Davis Talk 22:29, 8 February 2007 (UTC)
- Support I have been waiting for someone to suggest this. Definately the list sections should be more aligned with current and expected projects. Having some place to initally add uncreated articles on a list for WPAustralia related items is useful, so is drawing attention to a list of articles that need expansion, although these are automatically created at Wikipedia:Pages needing attention/Australia with a tag. Another thing to consider is the discussion about the Lost and found section. If newly created articles and stubs were added to Wikipedia:New articles (Australia) until we get a bot do to that automatically, the lost and found section would be better placed on this renamed project page. I'm happy to move items to Wikipedia:WikiProject Australian politics and Wikipedia:WikiProject Australian history#Articles by Subject and then add tasks sections at Wikipedia:WikiProject Australian sports, etc, to reduce the list. - Shiftchange 03:51, 10 February 2007 (UTC)
