Talk:Townsville

message: I am questioning the inclusion of touch football competitions for inclusion. Many towns in Qld and NSW have touch football competitions but are they notable enough for inclusion? I refer to WP:GROUP: A company, corporation, organization, team, religion, group, product, or service is notable if it has been the subject of coverage in secondary sources. Such sources must be reliable, and independent of the subject. Michellecrisp (talk) 06:22, 26 May 2008 (UTC)

message: As good a school as Townsville Grammar may be I am not convinced any high school merits its own "stand alone" subheading on the Townsville page. Why not Cathedral or any other schools? I propose the subheading is removed. ROxBo (talk) 10:08, 26 March 2009 (UTC)

message: Looking at this subheading, and the "Media in Townsville section and separate article, much of the info is duplicated. I think it probably should be consolidated into one. Welcome any comments. ROxBo (talk) 15:25, 21 June 2009 (UTC)

message: There seems to be a minor edit war going on with the infobox image in this article. Attempts by editors to use :File:TownsvilleCBD.jpg instead of :File:Townsville city.jpg have been reverted with references to "blue skies" (whatever that means) in the edit summary. :File:TownsvilleCBD.jpg is generally a much better resolution, more current (8 months vs 50 months) image. The most obvious difference is with the circular building at the left. You can actually see some detail in :File:TownsvilleCBD.jpg. In fact, there's a lot more detail throughout the image. As for those blue skies, there is far too much sky in :File:Townsville city.jpg, blue or otherwise. My preference is for :File:TownsvilleCBD.jpg as it's a much better image generally. --AussieLegend (talk) 15:40, 14 September 2009 (UTC)

thread_title:  Notable Townsvilleans 

message: As there was previously no discernible criteria for organising the list of sports teams in Townsville, I believe they should be organised alphabetically.  This, coincidentally, is also in order of average attendances and, one could argue, popularity.  Furthermore, the line on AFL being played locally has been replaced with information on all local competitions.  AFL is the least popular code in Townsville and certainly does not deserve its own sentence.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 123.211.103.64 (talk) 00:14, 9 June 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Given that AFL is the biggest football code in the country, and your edits removed details of the first local boy to make good in that code, with an inaccurate Edit summary, I, with all due respect, smell an anti-Aussie Rules bias. Give them ALL a sentence, and avoid giving offence. And by the way, writing something here does not give you a right to instantly edit the article. Show some good faith and await the thoughts of some other editors. I won't revert, because I hope we can now have a sensible discussion, as should have occurred BEFORE your edits.

Cheers ROxBo 14:30, 3 November 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: I love that style of presentation of weather data. Very effective. But one important thing I reckon is missing (from both versions) for most people from more temperate climes is some humidity information. Can it be added from somewhere? HiLo48 (talk) 14:42, 3 November 2010 (UTC)

replies: text: I'm not too sure, it is less informative then the current chart in use but this chart image is outdated. Also the WMO's data is out dated, the figures should be used from the BoM. Bidgee (talk) 03:06, 4 November 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm not sure that "climate averages" actually get out-date much, but it is the time of climate change. The WMO's site actually uses (and links to) the BoM website, and presents averages from 1940-2002. The BoM site includes 2002 onwards, and so several of the months are different by a few fractions of a degree. As the chart presents temperatures to the nearest degree this shouuldn't matter much. I agree the BoM site is packed with excellent information - excellent find. However I think it is too much information for this subsection, although definitely should be linked.ROxBo 10:05, 7 November 2010 (UTC)
