message: I discovered MJ was not on the Bushrangers page, so added him.  At that time, I did not even expect there to be an article on him, and was pleasantly surprised when the link came up blue, not red.  Cheers! Vryl 07:25, 9 October 2005 (UTC)

message: This sentence in Moondyne Joe#Memorials is speculation:
I propose that we should find a reference that says that it was named after the man, or delete it. Mitch Ames (talk) 12:20, 10 June 2014 (UTC)
thread_title:  Railway siding - speculation 

message: This sentence in Moondyne Joe#Hard labour (with my emphasis here):
contains a dangling modifier - it literally denotes that the stone did not permit him to leave the prison, which presumably was not the case. (If anything, the pile of broken stone subsequently aided his escape!) It should probably be something like 
but I don't have access to the sources to check.
The same issue occurs in Fremantle Prison#Moondyne Joe. Mitch Ames (talk) 12:45, 17 November 2014 (UTC)

message: I'm not sure Father Dougal's recent edit, stating Johns was an English convict, is correct. As far as I see it there is no evidence that he viewed himself as English. He's far more likely to have considered himself Cornish given his name and origins. Bodrugan (talk) 15:31, 7 August 2017 (UTC)
