Talk:Goodna, Queensland

message: This article contains far too many images located within the gallery. Can they be interspersed throughout the article to compliment some of the text perhaps? -- Longhair\talk 11:12, 5 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Agreed: The gallery should maybe have 6 - 9 images and a few more in the article, at the most. I can't see the point of the last 6 non-notable photos. - Shiftchange 11:24, 5 April 2007 (UTC)

text: I've done a minor clean-up to the article removing un-encyclopædic and unsourced text, requesting cites in a few place, distributing some images throughout the article, and removing unhelpful images from the gallery.--cj | talk 11:31, 5 April 2007 (UTC)

text: Wikipedia is not a reference guide, however. It is an encyclopædia with policies   requiring that content be presented with a formal tone and neutral point of view, as well as be verifiable to a reliable source. Moreover, Wikipedia prohibits the inclusion of original research. The material which I removed either failed these policies or was irrelevant to an encyclopædic entry. As for your photographs, we all very much appreciate your taking the time to both procure them and upload them to the project. However, there does come a point when images can overwhelm an article, and I think the concern here was that point had been well and truly met. Images should only be used to support an article; they should not become the focus of the article. By the way, it's great to have an editor from Goodna; it being your home shouldn't matter unless you are so passionate about it so as to have a conflict of interest. ;-)--cj | talk 14:51, 5 April 2007 (UTC)

message: I have reverted to my own edits after Goodstone changed them back to his own version.  
The reasoning is as follows.
Words like king, queen, prince, etc, are not in capitals unless they are being used as a name like Prince Charles.  When used as nouns they are lower case, like almost all nouns in English.
The number of parking bays in the railway station is totally irrelevant to an encyclopedic article.  That info belongs in a travel or regional guide.  I'm not disputing the accuracy of the info, so the addition of a reference does not make it relevant.
Likewise, the mention of lift access is not valid info for an encyclopaedia.  All QR stations are wheelchair accessible, but it does not belong here.
I was tempted to remove the entire transport section as the opening of the rail link was already mentioned in the article, but left it to show that it is still operating.
The line "generally considered safe Labor seats" is an opinion and not relevant to an encyclopaedia.
There is no need to mention where the tables with voting results are, as they are right beside the sentence anyway.--Dmol (talk) 01:09, 18 July 2010 (UTC)

message: The history section needs to make mention of the mental asylum that existed there in the recent past.  Does anyone have any info on it.--Dmol (talk) 01:09, 18 July 2010 (UTC)
