thread_title:  Editor Mediation and Attention 

message: I work for the Roosters in Bondi and we're an east team. Our club is called Easts as it is in the Eastern suburbs which I presume is why it's on this page. Rabbitohs are for the southern part of the eastern suburbs or south-eastern part of Sydney whatever you wish to call it. Someone keeps saying the roosters is up north in Bondi. I dont know what this means, Bondi is east not north. Up north is the Sea Eagles in Manly. 49.180.215.233 (talk) 17:15, 21 April 2023 (UTC)

thread_title:  Roosters  

message: Comment: why are there so many (and ever increasing) references to post codes on this page? Suburbs are suburbs, postcodes are postcodes. It's now even crept into the description of the different statistical divisions, where the information given is plainly incorrect: UNSW postcode 2052 is in the "Eastern Suburbs" statistical area, while the debatable "Eastern" suburbs like Daceyville postcode 2032 and Pagewood postcode 2035 etc are not. As far as I can tell, the ABS is not a subsidiary of Australia Post and does not define its statistical areas by reference to postcodes. I know there are some editors who are really hung up about the prestige of their areas being in or out of the Eastern Suburbs, but I don't even understand this obsession with postcodes. Is there some editor who thinks a particular postcode is more prestigious than another?? Once this page goes out of protection, I suggest reverting to the simpler earlier wording in this section rather than muddling it up with postcodes. --PalaceGuard008 (Talk) 03:53, 3 May 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: The page always used postcodes, but they were scattered across a few places instead of organised clearly. Postcodes are often how geographic boundaries are defined (by definition) so they seemed like an objective and factual way to organise the page, and a good way to avoid subjective arguments.

text: You make a good point. The Waverley Council, Woollahra Council and Centennial Parklands are organised by their postcodes 2021 to 2030, clean and cut with no question in their region. While Randwick Council starts at 2031 and ends in 2036 with the exception of UNSW being 2052. Neighbouring suburbs in Bayside Council being Daceyville, Pagewood, Eastgardens and Hillsdale share Randwick Councils series of postcodes due to the fact that they are in the same area and are only separated by Bunnerong Road which isn't really a boundary to separate the area altogether, it just separates the councils. The Eastern Distributor is the main divider for Eastern Sydney. Would have made more sense if they merged Randwick Council with Botany Bay Council so that you wouldn't have had neighbouring suburbs in the same area sharing the same postcodes being questioned as to whether or not they're part of the same region. The postcodes do help but there are some exceptions which you've pointed out. 2405:6E00:289:B4FC:5505:527:A740:3AAC (talk) 12:54, 3 May 2023 (UTC)
thread_title:  What's with the postcodes? 

message: In the suburb listing you have Surry Hills, Darlinghurst, Woolloomooloo, Potts Point, Elizabeth Bay and Rushcutters Bay with the postcodes 2010 and 2011. These suburbs are very rarely ever referred to as 'Eastern Suburbs' they are usually referred to as Inner City Suburbs which are often included within Central Sydney rather than Eastern Sydney. Sometimes they're called 'Inner City-East' or 'East Sydney'. Their council being City of Sydney and their postcodes being 2010 and 2011 do not fit into the 'Eastern Suburbs' category. These suburbs should either be removed from the page or have a their own titled section called 'Inner City-East' or along those lines, which mentions their neighbouring existence and their localities e.g. Kings Cross but they should not be included in the suburb listing. 2405:6E00:289:B4FC:5505:527:A740:3AAC (talk) 13:10, 3 May 2023 (UTC)
thread_title:  Inner City Suburbs 

message: Here is my attempt at a map of the Eastern Suburbs. The M1 Motorway becomes much easier to cross in Surry Hills, and it is gone/underground by the time Darlinghurst begins, so the boundary there is a bit fuzzy.
