Talk:List of localities in Victoria

message: I've done several redirect pages, but you really might consider changing the title of this entry (for which you've done so much work) to "Localities in Victoria" or some variation thereof; perhaps prefacing it with "List of..." in Wikipedian style.  A problem is that "Victorian" most frequently connotes the Victorian Era to most non-Australians, and upon first glance, many might think this entry looks at locations mentioned in the novels of Dickens, etc!
Just a thought...

: Earlier this evening the page got moved from Victorian Localities to Victorian localities, and my main aim with it at this stage is to get (at least the Melbourne) part of it done. So before it gets moved, I'll have to make sure that everything that links to it points to the right place. But you raise a really great point, thanks for pointing it out :)

::Okay, the page got moved to List of localities (Victoria). Anyone reading this see a city or suburb they are familiar with, please help out with an article. Cheers, AJ.
I've gone through and tried to get all the localities that actually pointed to a place or thing somewhere else, and marking any stubs I found along the way. Out of curiosity, why was every Melbourne locality mentioned, and not every Victorian locality? I'll start targeting some of those I'm familiar with soon. Ambivalenthysteria, 22 Feb 2004 (UTC)
:Adding all the localities in the state would easily double or even triple (?) the size of the article, in which case it might be better to put the Melbourne suburbs in their own article and link to it from this one. Hypernovean 08:02, 23 Feb 2004 (UTC)
replies: text: Sounds like a reasonable idea to me. Would the Melbourne suburbs stay in this article as well, or would they be moved off completely into the new one? Ambivalenthysteria

I don't think the City of Port Phillip can reasonably be described as being in the southern suburbs of Melbourne. It is well to the north of the geographical and demographic centres of the city. I would group the Cities of Melbourne, Yarra and Port Phillip as "inner city" councils. Also the huge headings are very ugly. I will have a go at some re-designing. Adam 06:11, 28 Feb 2004 (UTC)

text: I fixed the links to various municipalities; many Melbourne municipalities already have articles or stubs. Check Local_Government_Areas_of_Victoria to avoid duplicate articles...

"Shire of ..." vs. "... Shire": It seems that there is an interchangability between the two amongst the various shires in Melbourne and the state; e.g. Mornington Peninsula Shire and Shire of Mornington Peninsula seem to both be used by the local government itself (from Googling). Currently, all the Greater Melbourne Shires are "Shires of" and all the regional ones are suffixed. I think one or the other needs to be used for all the shires. Just that I'm a stickler for consistency... Hypernovean 10:58, 28 Feb 2004 (UTC)
thread_title: Old talk

message: Does anyone else dislike the name List of localities (Victoria)? Would it be worth renaming to List of places in Victoria or something similar, bringing it in line with the other locality/place lists? The reason I'm asking is that there are now so many pages that link here that I wouldn't want to start changing all those links without some agreement as to a new name (if there should be one). Hypernovean 04:46, 21 Mar 2004 (UTC)
replies: text: It'd be a pain, but I think you're right. Either list of localities in Victoria or list of places in Victoria sounds good to me. Ambivalenthysteria 08:32, 21 Mar 2004 (UTC)
thread_title: Page name change?

message: I have created the preliminary page for the WikiProject Melbourne. Please feel free to add something here, as the project is still in formulation. The primrary aim is to fill in the rail network and suburbs. The scope could expand to other elements of the city in future. Those interested in working on the above topics, please add your names to the project and join in the discussion. (There are as yet no templates or guidelines for articles, this will be updated soon). Hypernovean 08:39, 5 Apr 2004 (UTC)
thread_title: WikiProject Melbourne

message: I'm going to try to expand this list greatly due to the fact that it is still very incomplete. I will add the missing localities from the individual shire's "Localities in x" template such as this one. The sections that have been completed are marked with an x. After I'm finished this article will be HUGE. So we will probably need to split it again... Cheers,  11:49, 1 January 2009 (UTC)

thread_title:  Unlocated Places 

message: The page currently lists Yungera (and Youngeira) in parentheses after Lake Powell. I am not familiar with Victoria's cadastral system, so don't know for certain if I am just misunderstanding the Lands website. However, from the way I see it, the Parish(?) of Youngera is (mainly?) in the locality of Boundary Bend, and the former town (where the railway terminus was) is actually in the locality of Kooloonong just south of the Boundary Bend border. Could someone who understands this page and its reference please review and confirm or correct it? Thank you. --Scott Davis Talk 07:32, 1 January 2017 (UTC)
