message: The article gave the date of Bessie Rischbieth's protest as 14 March 1967 but she died on 13 March so that can't have been right.  I have found cites for the year but no date.  Can any one else help with more precision?  Thanks--Matilda talk 00:45, 10 December 2007 (UTC)

message: I don't see why the current image is so favoured by one editor in particular (or should I say dictator), it's ugly, the quality is fairly average, and it's DATED. It's about 8 years old! This current image is beautiful, look at the sunset, it shows the structure of the river, and the skyline is not a focal point, although it does feature in the background and actually LOOKS like the Perth skyline looks today. I don't want to hear all this "wiki isn't a tourist brochure, it's an encyclopaedia" nonsense, because that doesn't mean the images have to be sterile and flippin' UGLY. You don't see ugly images on the European, American or Asian geographic pages. If I have less than 4 opposes then it looks like the image I have uploaded will become the new lead image. 121.220.140.49 (talk) 10:16, 5 June 2013 (UTC)

thread_title:  Right now who opposses this 

message: The name Swan River (Swane Rivier)was not provided by De Vlamingh.  He had intended to name it Witsen River after Nicolaes Witsen.  The name Swan River, however, appeared in the descriptive text accompanying the map Zuyd Landt (South Land) by Victor Victorszoon.  The name stuck.  The charts made by De Vlamingh, referred to by Witsen in his 1705 publication: Noord en Oost Tartrye, have been lost.

message: The Kartographer extension is now available. It still seems to have a few problems though. For example, you can plot roads as geolines, but not rivers it seems.
However, once these issues are resolved, are there any objections to replacing the current map of the Swan River with a mapframe from that extension showing the Swan River? 
The data for that mapframe comes from the OSM database (so it’s always current), it opens into a slippy map, and it looks nicer IMO than the png that is currently shown.
Below are two roughly equivalent examples, using XML syntax and maplink template syntax. XML supports wikidata queries, which might be nicer to use than manually listing tributaries to the Swan River here.
