message: The "Suburbs of Queanbeyan" Karabar and Dodsworth are used for local government administrative purposes only.  Residents of these virtual suburbs are Queanbeyan residents!
Umm, well yeah, like pretty much all other Australian suburbs you mean? --Martyman-(talk) 11:14, 22 January 2006 (UTC)

message: To whoever keeps doing it do NOT add Letchworth to the suburbs list again. It is not a suburb but merely a totally unofficial region within Queanbeyan. If you must have Letchworth in the article mention it as an area of Queanbeyan and not a suburb. There are only 13 suburbs and I do not expect the list to grow beyond that point.

:Do they get a mention in a newspaper - being in just the free local community papers is less notable, but if they get a mention in bigger paper then I guess they can score a mention. Wongm (talk) 12:26, 2 June 2008 (UTC)

message: I'll see if I can find a better citation for the water restrictions.  I read it in the local newspaper, and the ACTEW site states -- "A service level agreement exists between ACTEW and Queanbeyan City Council. And the agreement states that Queanbeyan City Council will mirror current ACT water use regulations.  Permanent Water Conservation Measures and any Temporary Water Restrictions will therefore be applied by Queanbeyan City Council as well."  Not sure if that's good enough for Wikipedia ::shrug:: Roaming27 06:01, 16 December 2006 (UTC)

message: I just added a para about the Queanbeyan Show.  Should there be a new section for festivals?  Or should it stay under the section for Sports and culture?  Roaming27 03:30, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

message: According to Rex Cross in Bygone Queanbeyan the oldest memorial stone in Queanbeyan is that to Anna Maria Faunce (born 30 November 1838) the eight month old daughter of Captain Alured Tasker Faunce. The inscription read: "To the memory of Anna Maria Faunce died 6th January 1839 aged 8 months. Bold infidelity turn pale and die/beneath this stone an infant's ashes lie/say is she lost or saved/if death is from sin, she sinned because she's here/If Heaven by works, in Heaven she can't appear/Reason Ah! How depraved/Revere the Bible's sacred page: the knot's untied/ she died for Adam sinned/She lives for Jesus died."180.200.142.157 (talk) 08:35, 9 May 2010 (UTC)

message: Is the point of an entry about a town to describe the town, and its relevant information? Or to list every possible piece of information that can be found, and to do so without citing any of it?
The article is a mess, is frequently vandalised (mainly along the theme of how Queanbeyan is the poorer cousin of Canberra) and full of plenty that has only a passing acquaintance with the 'notability' criteria. I'll try a re-write in the coming days. Please, if you have an issue with it, don't just undo the changes, let's discuss them, ok? We don't need piles of data on the page, such as what unit Faunce belonged to, or photos which are a bunch of trees with some houses on a hill in the distance. Wikipedia's an encyclopaedia, not a scrap book. DermottBanana (talk) 07:40, 30 January 2011 (UTC)

message: The infobox has the ranking as 37th, and it links to cities by population. However, the lists have "Canberra-Queanbeyan" in the top 10 in both of them. Is this 37th from an old list or what it means? 85.217.41.84 (talk) 02:58, 10 October 2013 (UTC)
