Talk:Budgewoi

message: You have listed incorrect suburbs. 
You have also deleted a description that is mostly accurate. Feel free to make edits but is it necesary to change something so radically?
Budgewoi Lake and Pacific Ocean are not suburbs
:Firstly, no I didn't list the wrong suburbs...have a look at a street directory and you will find they are, indeed, correct. Secondly, the description, while accurate, was (a) not referenced, (b) potentially not Neutral Point of View and (c) copied entirely from another website which is found on the first page of google. It is no big deal that the lakes and suburbs are not suburbs
:Secondly, my edits are now complete on this page for the time being, but because of the pretty good article you have compiled, I have nominated it for the Did you Know section of Wikipedia, which may see it featured on the Main Page, a very big achievement.
:Finally, welcome to Wikipedia. Dont forget to sign your edits on talk pages by putting 4 of these ~ at the end of it and it will show your name. Todd661 08:28, 7 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I can tell you, while you may not agree with the dates, believe me they are less than ideal, that is the official date from a government agency. Budgewoi Peninsula is a suburb, and has been since 2001...see here. I have also added the date again, as it is official, although I will accept a different one, if you provide a reference for itTodd661 09:15, 7 October 2006 (UTC)

message: Todd, you use http://www.gnb.nsw.gov.au/name/search as a reference BUT Toukley, Gorokan, Buff Point, Kanwal, Long Jetty, Ourimbah, Doyalson and even Wyong are all listed as having the same Assignment date of 17 May 1991. This is either a glitch in their programme or possibly a change in designation from town to village or some such thing. I stand by my assertion that the establishment dates should be deleted.
And if you search The Entrance, it shows a contradictory date of around 1910 a the bottom of the page.

message: Removed from the page:
*Some sources give the original name as Pudgeway (Aboriginal for young grass) but this is open to conjecture with local historian (Bruce Russell, "From Pudgeway to Budgewoi", 1984) stating the aboriginal name for the area as Budjeri, which meant "good conditions" and described the abundance of wallabies, birds, fish, prawns, trees, shrubs and plants they could use to sustain a healthy tribe. The early colonists named the area Pudgewoy but over the years it has been know by many other names: Budgeway, Possum's Fence, Sandy Point, Halekulani and the present name of Budgewoi which was made official in July 1978.
Historian, but evidently not a linguist, which is the kind of person you want to go to for these issues.
*"Aboriginal" for young grass? There are many Aboriginal languages. Which one is this from?
*"Budjeri" is an Eora word. But the Eora lived further south; I believe Budgewoi was inhabited by Awabakal, and their equivalent word seems to have been "murrorong".
*How do you get from "budjeri" to "Budgewoi", anyway? Are -ri and -woi suffixes? If so, what do they mean?
*"Pudgeway" was not the original name: it's basically just another way of representing exactly the same thing as "Budgewoi". The name is the same, it's just heard differently.
In closing, I don't think this is a reliable source. --Ptcamn 07:27, 18 November 2006 (UTC)

message: Are these meant to be in descending order in terms of notability. I put Del Piero at the top, as he was the most notable. I hope that's okay- I'm a bit of a noob.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by SFCdelpiero (talk • contribs) 10:24, 19 September 2012 (UTC)
