message: G'day Guys — I am relatively inexperienced in Wikipedia, less so in the history of wireless and broadcasting; presently focussed on developing History of broadcasting in Australia. But it seems to me that we have a lot of AAE material in the Douglas Mawson article and precious little in this one. I will expand the material on Communications here, but it will leave this article unbalanced. Hopefully SKS will step forward and expand the article generally. Alternatively the Communications material could be developed into a separate article. My preference is for the former. I will use the the Communications material here as sections within the individual articles on Hannam, Jeffryes, Bickerton, Sawyer and Sandell, also for subsubsection in the ever-growing History of broadcasting in Australia. All comments welcome--Samuel.dellit (talk) 19:51, 16 April 2018 (UTC)
thread_title:  Depth of Article Content, especially Communications section 

message: G'day Guys.— I am tempted to expand the list of participants to include the hardworking crew of the SY Aurora and SS Taroa (as many as can be identified), the several administrators who made it all flow smoothly back in Australia and the sponsors, without which the expedition would never have left Hobart. This would clearly be too much for this article and would best be a separate Wikipedia List. This might best be handled as a Table with sortable columns by Name, Primary role, Primary location. Could be a handy reference. I will wait a month or two to see if there is any reaction to this from the Wikipedia community--Samuel.dellit (talk) 22:56, 19 April 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: (Nineteen months on!) There's a separate list, now, List of members of the Australasian Antarctic Expedition 1911-14. It includes reference to, but not a detailed list, of the Aurora crew members (they chopped and changed, and there were around 100 of them over the various voyages). I don't think the sponsors qualify as "members of the expedition", and their contribution should be recognised in the main expedition article, which is decidedly substandard at the moment  but  is in my sights for an overhaul.

thread_title:  List of Participants 

message: hi all, should there me a section that lists the landforms that this expedition discovered/named (i note that a few have been included at Australasian Antarctic Expedition#Appraisal) and/or a breakout list article if it would be too large for this article?

message: I have come across User:Brianboulton/Sandbox13 and User:Brianboulton/Sandbox10, the notes Brian made before and during his development of this article. A lot of it he incorporated but other parts may still be relevant to reviewers. Thincat (talk) 10:44, 7 February 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: I used both of those when I was going through it. Sandbox10 is pretty close to what Brian originally copied over and I think most of the bits Brian (and I) omitted to incorporate from the notes in Sandbox13 are too detailed for this article. The Mawson sledging journey is already covered in detail in the FA Far Eastern Party and think that other subarticles are probably the way to go for other aspects. The oceanographic work of Aurora and the studies on Macquarie Island by themselves could easily overwhelm this article. Yomanganitalk 11:04, 7 February 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: Well done, ; I admire your forensic approach in going over Brian’s earlier notes, and identifying the potential for sub-articles. Thank you once again for all your efforts, occasionally peppered with your trademark, entertaining edit summaries . With kind regards; Patrick. ツ Pdebee.(talk)(become old-fashioned!) 13:30, 7 February 2020 (UTC)

text: That's fine. These days some people go round improving WP by blanking other users' unattended sandboxes so I didn't want these to get lost. Many thanks for seeing to all this. Thincat (talk) 20:55, 7 February 2020 (UTC)
