have any significance beyond his humanist award? If he's controversial bcz of it, it may be worth covering, but it's insignificant enuf that the need for a cite on it has gone unmet for almost a year. The award  need not show anything beyond 
# willingness to be outed, and 
# the organization wanting to increase its visibility -- "Humanists are all around you!" (Good for the org for that step!) -- by outing him.
Neither is notable -- tho a resulting controversy might be.

Talk:North Australia

message: This map from 1860 shows "north australia" labelled. Perhaps it was used as the name of the region after the colony ceased to exist --Astrokey44 12:44, 27 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I found this map some time ago.  It shows SA as the full state so is not completely accurate.  Perhaps the map maker couldn't believe the no man land strip could still belong to NSW.  I had dated the map around 1860, but that must be wrong. I have collected about 20 maps from the Internet around the late 1800s. Many show Alexandra Land - but I don't believe it was ever formally proclaimed - but it was a suggested name by Stuart.  Alan Davidson 14:04, 27 January 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  regional name 

message: "North Australia has also been proposed as the name to be adopted by the Northern Territory if it becomes a state of Australia." I'm not sure if this is entirely useful or factually accurate. Reason: The constitution has been set up as a contract between the founding colonies, that is not the ACT and the NT. It would require a referendum for NT to become a state and I have never even heard this mentioned. I think it would be very unlikely the the other states would allow their voting power in the Senate to be diluted.

thread_title: comments

message: The external territories like Heard and McDonald Islands and Norfolk Island are Australian possessions, but not parts of the country, and should therefore not be included in the paragraph "Australia (country, including islands)" to determine the extreme points.

message: The northernmost point of the Northern Territory is given as Murri Point, on Oxley Island. There is another island more northernly still, looks about 100+ hectares in size, as visible on satellite views, at 10.908°S, 133.033°E, whose name I cannot discover, and which is clearly part of the Northern Territory.

Talk:Southern Australia

message: "Southern Australia" as used in Victoria generally refers to the Aussie Rules states - it doesn't include NSW, and includes northern WA. It's rarely used though. I imagine the term is mainly used in Queensland, referring to the parts of Australia that aren't Queensland or Queensland-like. "Southern Australian Airlines" was a shortlived Qantas subsidiary that operated in Victoria, Tasmania and SA IIRC. matturn 11:28, 12 April 2007 (UTC)

message: "The northeast side of the Indo-Australian plate forms a subducting boundary with the Eurasian plate on the borders of the Indian Ocean from Bangladesh, to Myanmar (formerly Burma) to the south-west of Indonesian islands of Sumatra and Borneo."
The last part of this seems an odd assertion to me.  Borneo isn't really near the plate boundary at all.  The subducting plate boundary and associated seismic and volcanic effects runs along near Sumatra and Java,  not Sumatra and Borneo ?Eregli bob (talk) 23:46, 12 April 2012 (UTC)

message: Several people have mentioned that the Indo-Australian Plate is divided into three separate plates, the Indian, Australian and Capricorn Plates. I don't see any mention of the capricorn plate in this article though? EdwardLane (talk) 23:00, 14 April 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: Having discovered an article introduction worded in the present rather than more correctly in past tense, I have added multiple academic references to clarify this issue of separation as some wording was based on knowledge made out of date by at least 20 years and location and now understood dynamics of at least 3 major earthquakes.

thread_title:  two or three subplates ? 

message: The caption is "In orange and red is the Indo-Australian plate, shown as divided between the Indian Plate and the Australian Plate" ... the difficulty is that the orange (mentioned first) is the Australian Plate (mentioned second); i.e. the caption should be "In red and orange is the Indo-Australian plate, shown as divided between the Indian Plate and the Australian Plate", which then lines up red and Indian, and orange and Australian.

Talk:1951 Australian Communist Party ban referendum

message: The “general background” seems more about Menzies personal anti-communism and seems oddly parochial given the global context of the Cold War and McCarthyite repression of the left. It’s also implied that Menzies “concern” about communism in the Labor party was well-founded, and not a rhetorical concern designed to paint the ALP as aligned with the Soviets in that Cold War struggle. 121.200.4.113 (talk) 17:09, 27 May 2022 (UTC)

thread_title: References

message: I propose that the page be merged with Solidarity (Australia). Solidarity according to this page, is just an organisation made after the ISO re-merged with organisations which split from them a few years before. None of these organisations were notable enough to have their own pages. At the current moment, there are two separate pages, one for the organisation before the split, and the organisation after merger with the splits. There doesn't seem to be any evidence that there was any substantial organisational change other than the different name. It would be better to have one quality page that covers the large span of history which can be maintained, rather than two separate ones. Catiline52 (talk) 08:25, 19 March 2020 (UTC)

I'm not doubting that Mr Oldfield is a CPA member and it's probably legitimate to count him on the ticker since we normally change the numbers if someone did this in a state or federal parliament but perhaps the wording in the article needs to be changed slightly?

Talk:Democratic Socialist Perspective

message: well it seems 119.12.213.132 found my comment on unsourced material so controversial he/she erased it from the discussion page all together. so much for "democratic" socialist perspective. as i said previously, i count several unsourced assertions on the dsp page. now whether my censor or who ever is making these assertions thinks they are true or not is beside the point. verifiable material means it needs verification, i.e. a source.

thread_title:  merge socialist alliance section with socialist alliance page 

message: This claim should be removed, as during the formation of the German Greens in the late 70s and early 80s several German maoist parties including the KBW and the KPD[AO] decided to effectively dissolve themselves into the green party. This may be debatable as they pretty much ceased to mention marxism at the moment they "actively aligned themselves", but the majority of the Kommunistischer Bund (KB) was part of the Green movement (not the Green Party) throughout the 80s, being involved in various left-green electoral coalitions as early as 1978 (Bunte Liste in Hamburg).--Kiffahh (talk) 09:21, 16 August 2015 (UTC)
