Talk:List of diplomatic missions in Australia

message: I believe the following diplomatic missions are incorectly listed as Embassies instead of High Commisions. My understanding is that  Commonwealth members have High Commisions not Embassies:
Brunei, Cyprus, Fiji, Kenya, Malaysia, Mauritius, Nigeria, Pakistan, Papua New Guinea, Samoa, Soloman Islands and Sri Lanka.

replies: text: A further thought - I think there is also a potential article on diplomatic representation in Canberra - ie this article should not be merely a list but should be called Diplomatic missions in Canberra.  It could then deal with the growth of diplomatic representation and link to Australian foreign relations.  The article would incorporate the list.--A  Y  Arktos   (Talk) 07:12, 5 November 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: I wouldn't try to inlcude the list in an article. Lists seem to be progresivly more frowned apon in articles these days. It would greatly limit it's chances of ever getting to featured level. If "diplomatic missions" is a more correct tyerm then this should probably be moved. --Martyman-(talk) 07:14, 5 November 2005 (UTC)

message: The map is wrong with respect to Mongolia - Mongolia has a consulate-general in Sydney which represents New South Wales only. Its embassy to Australia, though, is located in Beijing. JRG (talk) 06:29, 23 August 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: No, it is an honorary consulate.  These articles do not include details of honorary consulates.  Kransky (talk) 13:54, 23 August 2008 (UTC)

message: I think that you've added an excessive number of images to the article. The fact that you are forcing their sizes to be smaller indicates this, and doing this unnecessarily is not helpful for readers. I note that it appears that you created many if not all of these images, and it is not good practice to add excessive numbers of one's own images. Could you please self-revert, or at least trim the number of images to a more manageable amount? Nick-D (talk) 07:19, 8 May 2021 (UTC)

message: This article will be undergoing a rebuild shortly. Please preferably do not make any edits during this time, and if you have suggestions please reply to this section and I will enact on them. HoHo3143 (talk) 06:51, 19 January 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: Converting to a table format, with a photo of each mission and key facts about it, might work well Nick-D (talk) 07:36, 19 January 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: Good suggestion. I'm using List of diplomatic missions of Taiwan as a base. I've finished Victoria so far with a lot to go. HoHo3143 (talk) 13:05, 19 January 2023 (UTC)

text: You do not understand the difference between a "consulate-general" and "honorary consulate". The list you've created lists only honorary consulates which are not included in the articles. Honorary consulates are not diplomatically appointed and are usually a host country national who may refer a person to the country's embassy in the capital city (i.e. Canberra). Your changes to the article will be resisted by seasonal editors of this article. Aquintero82 (talk) 07:06, 19 January 2023 (UTC)

text: Honorary consulates are *not* diplomatic missions, which is the title of the page. These additions of honorary consulates should be removed since they are factually wrong. Alternatively, you could place the content in a separate page entitled 'Consular missions in Australia' or 'Honorary consuls in Australia'. Sir Tanx (talk) 09:44, 11 February 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: @Sir Tanx @Aquintero82 whilst normally I'd agree, DFAT feature all types of foreign representatives accredited to Australia on their website. This list is what I've used throughout the article.  HoHo3143 (talk) 10:04, 11 February 2023 (UTC)
