Talk:Newcastle, New South Wales

message: The specific beaches and surfing breaks need to be somehow either included or linked to this article - the template  Newcastle area or designating it as a 'beach of new south wales' is too general - someone needs to identify the sperate localities - if it is a port as well and a few other things to identify Newcastle with/ or as a 'beach' is insufficient...

message: A user recently updated the year/s part of the following:
"The Jets are currently playing in the 2011/12  A-League season, and their tenth in the Australian National Competition." 
If this is a valid edit then the season should be updated to "eleventh". Can someone with appropriate knowledge follow this up, please.

replies: text: The revision as of 21:05, 31 August 2011, returning "soccer" to its rightful place, also reverted the change (as suggested above) from "eleventh" season to "tenth". I could change it back, but have no proof of its accuracy - so will leave it to someone else. As an aside, perhaps a soccer expert could attempt to encourage 121.217.1.5 to become a more constructive editor and share his knowledge and enthusiasm for the sport with the wider readership.

message: The aboriginal name for newcastle is listed as "Malubimba", however I've seen it spelled "Muloobinba" - particularly on the Newcastle Council website here: http://www.newcastle.nsw.gov.au/about_newcastle/history_and_heritage/newcastles_history
There is also a mural with the word "Muloobinba" at the main Stockton ferry jetty.
:The traditional owners never wrote it down, so there is no "correct" spelling. It might be good to aim for some sort of consistency, but I don't think it's important to push these issues too hard. HiLo48 (talk) 02:39, 7 January 2014 (UTC)

message: Obviously we know that Newcastle is the centre of the Newcastle metropolitan area. It feels appropriate to have a separate article regarding this, much like https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sydney_central_business_district and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sydney are separate articles.

message: I believe we should include Newcastle's poplation size in the standfirst, - I inserted "With a population of 322,278 in 2016 (the city of Newcastle itself numbering 155,411)" - because without it we have an article that starts by comparing the population size, but without stating it. Thiis is confusing.TobyJ (talk) 04:18, 19 November 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: The lede is written in accordance with general practice and clearly identifies that this article is about the metropolitan area, not the LGA. Adding the LGA population to the first sentence makes it confusing because the metropolitan area does not include all of the LGA, as explained in the demographics section. Including the city of Newcastle's population is misleading because of this. --AussieLegend (✉) 13:05, 19 November 2020 (UTC)

message: There are currently no pictures of Newcastle beach on this page. That seems like an oversight. This one used to be used: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Newcastle_Beach.jpg but someone removed it as an effort to clean up low quality photographs. I don't see what is wrong with it though.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 115.166.8.35 (talk) 05:01, 11 January 2022 (UTC)
