This is the sample train lines milestone which appears throughout the electric poles in Perth railway lines.

message: In thinking about the coming opening of the Mandurah line, I’ve begun to wonder about the most appropriate way to represent it when updating my map of the railways (see Transperth Trains), so I thought I’d bring it here. Even though the Joondalup and Mandurah lines are to form one complete north-to-south route (and, indeed, already do as far as Esplanade), Transperth have chosen to give each of them an individual colour. So far, I’ve been showing the Mandurah line separately, in its official colour, but is this the best choice? Is it more important to reflect official usage, or to represent the actual service operated? David Arthur (talk) 23:30, 24 November 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: I personally don't think we need to get too anal about articles about streets.  Two to four paragraphs should suffice in most cases. I do feel strongly however that we don't include meaningless lists of "attractions" and every building and church that's situated on them.  Perhaps a good place to start is some good existing articles which we can use as references.  A few I like are Queen Street, Melbourne, Elizabeth Street, Sydney and best of all Rundle Street, Adelaide.  These are about the size and scope I feel comfortable with.  George Street, Sydney is too big - I'd drop the attractions section. -- I@n ≡ talk 15:10, 15 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text:  If we need a sort of sharing of opinions, the quotes from above - queen Street and elizabeth street are too skeletal to serve purpose, I agree with Rundle, but I think there is a place for a shorter attractions on George Street - having walked it many times, and understanding its context historically I would vigorously defend the attractions section.

A couple of other minor points:
*Buildings in Perth should be double-stubbed with  and  (there should soon be an  for these);

message: I've just added a Culture section to the Perth WikiProject page, following discussions with vcxlor about the need to discuss and document Perth's cultural history, such as the evolution of the Perth music scene, and Perth-related aspects of other cultural phenomena, such as the fact that Bodgies and Widgies used to congregate around the Snake Pit in Scarborough... even Post-office goths and Gogans... that sort of thing....  what do you all think? - Gobeirne 03:43, 27 October 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: All sounds like ancient history to anyone I guess unless you grew up Pre-1980s. afaik from then on youth culture is generally similar to the rest of the country. To be honest, I think maybe 1/50 people will know what a Grogan is, and these will be the ones that obviously were this subculture in whatever time it was around (I'm guessing late 70s/Early 80s). Insufficent Gay culture in Perth to do any articles, and generally all youth culture in Australia is not city based. Pubs and Clubs are generally not interesting except for maybe history (Perth & Fremantle generally I guess). The local music scene is quite large at the moment, so that would probably be a good one to go with. Radio Station details also would be very useful. Sorry Gobeirne, but the last few suggestions are groups that are probably are remebered by maybe a handful of people in the area. [snip]
Overall, I would personally just stick to music. All the rest of the ideas listed are either [snip]  Boochan 13:14, 28 October 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: I initially posted in agreement with Boochan, as he'd mentioned that much above sounded dated, and it was also potentially original research/not NPOV. However, he then edited his post to add some arguments which are just nonsense. None of the suggestions above would be seperate articles, and thus having them being "stubs" is a non-issue; rather, they would form a culture of Perth, Western Australia article. While, as Boochan mentions, there's plenty of room for a good article on the city's music scene, there's also plenty of room for a broader culture article covering not only the music, but the arts, media, and the nightlife. Furthermore, things like the city's gay culture could at least make a good paragraph or too; just because it doesn't interest you doesn't mean it won't interest anyone.

replies: text: Well it was a little  stupid, and I guess as one article it would be fine. However a lot of it except for generally recent culture (within the last 30 years) will be very hard to come up with unless books can be found, especially sub 1950s. btw, did I say it didn't interest me? No I didn't... I was just suggesting that as single articles they would be stuck as stubs... and generally that is how it is portrated on the main article. btw, the main article also needs fixing. -_- - Anyway, no hard feelings generally - guess it was just misworded how it was edited, thus I get flamed to the shit... sorry it didn't come through like it was ment to. I also agree on a greater presence of articles on the arts & media (Defunct Newspapers, Magazines, etc and Current should be done e.g Daily Mail), but that was not mentioned previously in suggestions, or only briefly with focus on some of the things not NPOV. Plus  adding to another thought (though it seems it will probably be irrelevant after reading the above comments =\ ) the presence of american servicemen did major things to everywhere not US-minded they were... lets just get back on the right foot again - Sorry if it was misworded and/or offensive (which I see it seemed to be...)

message: I've rated the importance to WikiProject Perth (as opposed to Australia as a whole) of most suburbs, Transperth entities and local councils for the Perth project after this feature became available in March. Some differentiation was necessary - I ended up with the following schema:
===Suburbs and LGAs===
* City of Perth, Perth, Fremantle, list of suburbs - Top
* Armadale, Cannington, Claremont, Cottesloe, Guildford, Joondalup, Midland, Northbridge, Rockingham, Scarborough - High
* Big councils - High
* Key suburbs - Mid
* Smaller councils - Mid
* Everything else - Low
===Transperth/PTA===
* Transperth and all railway lines, plus Perth railway station - High
* Key railway stations (termini, Warwick/Whitfords/Stirling/Joondalup/Cannington), CircleRoute, all bus companies, the Busport - Mid
* Other railway stations and any other transport articles - Low
* Historic railway stuff - moved to WA Wikiproject.
This is quite arbitrary, so I'm happy to hear feedback, and in particular anything that anyone thinks has been incorrectly rated. If you see a Low suburb that definitely should be Mid, just rerate it yourself (note - only change the Perth-importance tag!

message: Hi all... I've just started editing under a username, I was previously known as all sorts of little number groups making small corrections to articles. I'm just dropping a note here regarding the Culture categories. I have created a new category "Culture in Western Australia" to house the cultural sections of the WA and Perth Wikipedia projects, as they all seemed to be floating around ekeing out their own separate existences and were thoroughly tangled! Also sorted out the 100% redundancy between "Media in Perth, Western Australia" and "Radio stations in Perth" - the latter seems a more logical place, and it is a subset of Media in Western Australia anyway. I also note the relative dearth of arts information, and am hoping to get something up on Artrage and FORM soon. If anyone has any suggestions or requests or ideas I'm all ears ! 
One final thing - "Perth, Western Australia culture" looks awkward and odd. I realise it started off as "Perth culture" and got renamed, but given we have to disambiguate the name maybe "Culture of Perth, Western Australia" would look better? If others agree maybe we can get it speedy renamed. Zivko85 11:52, 22 May 2007 (UTC)

Per , if anyone is of a different opinion to me that we are not ready to bid and wants to improve the bid to an acceptable standard (I'm inclined to support Melbourne in their bid at this stage), please fix it within 24 hours, or it will not be made official. I would hope that if this occurs, that the bid be of a professional standard that does our city proud. Orderinchaos 03:32, 7 September 2007 (UTC)

message: (moved from WT:WA)
Hi there, everybody. Are we going to submit a bid for Wikimania 2009? Our bid is fairly well developed and I would be happy to continue with its progress (I have experiences with conferences about 75% of the size of this one). But the important thing is - do we have consensus that we should go through with it? Thanks, Auroranorth 08:43, 8 October 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: ResponseHi Moondyne, I respect your concerns that we need more people to help with the project. If we can find them, would it be acceptable to launch an official bid? Regarding the actual bid professionalism, our bid is much better than all but Buenos Aires' bid, and we can easily outdo them. Auroranorth 10:05, 8 October 2007 (UTC)

message: ::::: Note:message left at both WT:WA, and WT:Perth
I am here to propose the deletion of the WP:Perth project. My reasons are as follows;
* It appears to be un-used: no edits to talk page since Jan 18th 
* Any collaboration efforts can be more centrally managed through WP:WA.
* Most contributors (or previous contributors) of WP:Perth, have since moved to WP:WA.
Any thoughts on this? Thanks. Twenty Years 16:23, 5 March 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: This thread has been taken up at WT:WA; let's keep the discussion over there, okay? Hesperian 02:40, 6 March 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: It appears the consensus is not strongly in favour of staying where we are, but is in favour of keeping Perth as a separate category within WP Western Australia. It's been suggested that a task force is the best way to resolve this. As such I propose to relocate WP Perth to Wikipedia:WikiProject Western Australia/Perth task force, redirecting WP:PERTH to that location also, and reserving WikiProject Perth in the event that demand later requires it. (Notifying here as it directly impacts upon this project, but anticipate most discussion will be at WT:WA) Orderinchaos 23:19, 14 March 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  WP:Perth/WP:WA 

message: In March we discussed a proposal to drop the WP Perth Project and the consensus was to make it a taskforce of WP:WA.  I'm still a bit unclear what that actually means in a practical sense but see we still have all of the Perth quality and importance categories hanging around.  Are they really necessary?  And is the WP AUS Perth=yes parm necessary also?  There just seems to be so much overlap and demarcation with these admin functions it is always confusing.  I have no problems with maintaining a separate taskforce talkpage, if that is still the consensus. Moondyne 03:28, 6 July 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: In the time since 15 March, the talk page over there has seen no genuine activity, and in the year before that had seen little. I personally think the assessment systems should be merged, although a "Perth=yes" could be maintained simply to mark articles of interest to the Perth taskforce.

replies: text: Thanks mate, appreciated.  I suppose we also need to manually depopulate :Category:Perth articles by importance  (573 talk pages). Is there a bot in the house?  Moondyne 02:30, 9 July 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: (Just to update the page - this process was completed and the Perth assessment system has been fully merged into WA, but the Perth=yes tag has been maintained to mark articles of interest to Perth. If the project is revived at a later stage, the importance ratings are consistent enough that we can do an AWB or bot replace. Those with AWB, other toys, or a bit of spare time are welcome to help assess the backlog at :Category:Unknown-importance Western Australia articles.) Orderinchaos 05:48, 14 July 2008 (UTC)

message: Hello all - The West currently has a series of scans accessible for various important events over the last 175 years. This is a great opportunity to add information to many of our articles! For example: Meckering, the Melbourne-Evans collision, and Forrest Place. I'm not sure how long this resource will remain available, so we should make the most of it.

message: I am currently working on many various articles for which I require photos from around the world. I am currently requiring photos from Perth for these articles, and I was hoping that this message would reach a photographer who can take the photos for me. The photos I currently require are listed at User:Russavia/Required_photos#Perth.2C_Western_Australia. If any photographers can assist with this, I would be most appreciative. Please leave any comments or questions for me on my talk page at User_talk:Russavia as I am unlikely to read replies. Thanks in advance for any assistance which can be provided.
