Talk:Bowral

message: Removed "landscape luminaries such as Paul Sorrenson" unless reference can be made. Maybe i am uninformed about garden design but with the current length of this article a minor promotion such as this need not be included.  Nsrma 22:55, 17 December 2005 (AESDST)
:Sorensen is well-known to those interested in landscape design.  Bowral is a good place to see his work as is the Blue Mountains.  I have restored the reference to him.--A  Y  Arktos 20:39, 17 December 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: not helped of course when his name is misspelt!  He is the subject of a 1990 biography:  Australia's master gardener : Paul Sorensen and his gardens--A  Y  Arktos 21:05, 17 December 2005 (UTC)

message: This article really needs a lot of cleanup.  To start with I removed this sentence:
Bowral also has great facilties like a local skate park where many skate comps are held, it also ofers a movie thetre and a sleazy brothal just over in Berrima, a close by town.
This has at least five misspellings, a POV problem ("sleazy brothal" [sic]), and no references. Jpp42 05:32, 23 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I've added a link to the article history of Bowral, but the main article should be summarised at some point. The link was there before the edits of . Graham87 05:57, 10 June 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Cleanup  

message: A little way down the lead, we have "Tulip Time Festival". "Tulip" links to tulip, which is fair enough; but "Time Festival" links to Capital Country. That's not very helpful - I expected to read about the festival, yet the "Capital Country" article contains not one word about it! 81.158.1.138 (talk) 02:18, 7 September 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Confusing wikilink 

message: I'm flagging a need to prune the list "Past and present notable residents of Bowral". Redlinks are maybe OK if they are quickly blued by a WP article establishing notability. Otherwise, they don't belong here. I would also argue that even blue-linked identities of local or temporary fame have no place in such an article which is designed for long-term international reference. The longer the list, the less it is worth reading, imho.  Cheers, Bjenks (talk) 05:13, 19 April 2011 (UTC)

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: I've noticed that most of the entries in the notable residents section do not have any sources cited, and for the most part, their Wikipedia pages make no mention of them ever having lived in Bowral. It seems that if a lot of these people ever did, it can only have been in passing. Unless reliable sources can be found, I think most of the entries should be removed.
