Talk:Geelong/Archive 1

message: Is Geelong really that confusingly similar to Keelung?  The names don't seem that similar to me. TPK 12:35, 12 Jun 2004 (UTC)

thread_title: Confusion

message: Is it worth adding a media section to the geelong page, there are three major newspaper groups producing over 6 different papers and 4 radio stations as well as a cable tv/net company that is not available in Melbourne. Geelong has bid goverment for their own tv station but its proximity to Melbourne prohibits that. Several Geelong groups have produced content for Melbourne's comunity TV station Ch31
:Free free - it'd be a useful addition. You may want to consider registering an account, too - it's always good to have more people interested in editing Victorian topics. Ambi 12:13, 26 Apr 2005 (UTC)
thread_title:  addition of media section 

message: This article could really do with a lot of work. The Infobox needs replacing with the Australia-wide one, it could do with more images, the structure is...odd, and the history section is wretched. Anyone interested in giving this some time? Ambi 03:50, 16 December 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: I'll pitch in. I've disliked this article for a while now. It needs something complete to compare with and aim for, then we're off. I still live here so images aren't out of the question either. -- Longhair 03:56, 16 December 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Canberra is probably the best example of a city article on Wikipedia these days, so perhaps that's something we could work towards. I have access to a digital camera while I'm down here, so I may be able to take photos as well. Hmm. It needs so much work that I'm not even sure where to put my foot in the water.

replies: text: Which infobox are you referring to and I'll work on replacing it? -- Longhair 04:52, 16 December 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Oh, sorry. I was referring to :Template:Infobox Australian City. It's still in development, but I think it's more useful at this point anyway; it's certainly neater. Ambi 05:02, 16 December 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Updated, the long and lat indicator may need a tweak though. -- Longhair 00:00, 1 January 2006 (UTC)

message: Are the temperatures right? Are summer nights really colder (on average) than winter nights? --Scott Davis Talk 14:46, 14 April 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Certainly doesn't look correct, although Geelong has some strange weather at times. I'll find a better source. Thanks for the heads up. -- Longhair 19:42, 14 April 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Climate 

message: "Geelong is the largest regional city in the state of Victoria, Australia."
Wouldnt it just be easier to say it's Victoria's second largest city? It would be a lot less misleading too.
:Good point. Reyk YO! 07:01, 16 May 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Largest 

message: "Melbourne newspapers, The Age and The Herald Sun are readily available." This line cracks me up. Should we also include the ready availability of milk and bread, but that Rolls Royces are a bit hard to find?

thread_title: Availability of newspapers

message: G'day,
Why is it that when I add a link to  in the external link section it get's removed all the time?
Surely, News and Weather for the Geelong region is relevant? ((unsigned|59.167.65.240}}
:Well, yes. I'm in favour of keeping this one unless someone points out that the site is somehow dodgy. Reyk YO! 06:44, 21 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Remove. The site looks largely automated with irrelvant news scrapes (which are mostly Football related). The entire forum has just 2 registered members. The Google ads are far too prominent when viewing external links from the site also, making me think it's a vehicle for Google adsense dollars. This site isn't a popular representation or a reliable news source for Geelong information. -- Longhair 07:47, 21 May 2006 (UTC)
