Talk:History of Western Australia

message: Just a note on my correction that Thomas Peel came out on the Gilmore not the Parmelia: readers of Ernest Scott's A Short History of Australia will read that Peel came out on the Parmelia but this is incorrect.  All other reliable references state that he came out in the Gilmore. User:Hesperian 01:43, 10 May 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Drew, this passenger manifest ] would confirm  he was on the Gilmore also. - Ian 05:43, 31 May 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks Ian.  It turns out that my statement that Scott says Parmelia was incorrect.  I had misread Scott.  So it seems my correction is undisputed. User:Hesperian 03:05, 1 Jun 2005 (UTC)

thread_title: To do

message: Aboriginal history is wholly lacking.  What about Henry Princep and A.O.Neville and the 1905 Aboriginal Act and various ammendments?  A list of Royal Commissions on Aboriginal Affairs would be useful.
I have just written and added a new article on the 1946 Pilbara strike but I couldn't see where it should be added to the Aboriginal history of Western Australia.--Takver 08:55, 26 May 2006 (UTC)

message: Not being a wiki expert, but there is an article about this guy on the French wikipedia at http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jacques_F%C3%A9lix_Emmanuel_Hamelin . Is that a good thing to link, or should it be translated? Gazjo 01:36, 23 April 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: My apologies, but it appears no-one answered your question - how rude!  Your discovery of :fr:Jacques Félix Emmanuel Hamelin appears to be very worthwhile and so I've made a translation request here.  Regards -- I@n ≡ talk 06:33, 19 July 2006 (UTC)

text: Maybe but we are going to have to get a handle on what he was known as - the refs I have come across suggest the Jacques Felix were not commonly used - and now we have baron - we need a standardisation sooner than later - Emmanuel Hamelin, Baron Hamelin or what> User:SatuSuro 14:23, 28 July 2006 (UTC)

message: I would like the section entitled "Timeline of European discovery and exploration" to be placed between "Europeans arrive" and "British Settlements". It would seem to flow better, especially from a chronological point of view. However I won't do it for a few days in case there is opposition to this proposal. Gazjo 12:43, 2 May 2006 (UTC)

I'm now seeking details on the establishment and demise of Town and Country Building Society.  Sir James McCusker was the founder, but thats all I can remember.  Can anyone help? -- I@n ≡ talk 05:50, 19 July 2006 (UTC)

message: This item is about the history of Western Australia - but the caption of the image in the box at the RHS is "Depiction of 1851 bushfires in Victoria, Australia"! There must be some photographs of WA that would be a better accompaniment for the text.
