Talk:Battle of al-Yamama

message: i have assembled an article authantic enough, for this battle stuff for this article has been taken from authantic books of islamic history.
mostly from the book Sword of Allah by General Agha Ibrahim Akram.( published in 1969 ).

Talk:Aurukun, Queensland

message: I propose that Aurukun rape case be merged into this article because:
* The rape case article is essentially coverage of a single event and is unlikely to be expanded further.  The link with a statewide review of child sex cases in indigenous communities is as much to do with national issues and the NT intervention as with the Aurukun case, and there is no other claim to enduring notability; 
* Tragic though the case is, it does not seem notable enough for a standalone article but it may be notable enough for a brief mention in the overall Aurukun article;
* Neither article is very long and merging the two will assist readers by locating all information about Aurukun in the one place.
If the merg went ahead it could be incldued at the end of the History section of the main article, as a brief paragraph with the appropriote references.
If there are any disagreements with this proposal please let me know.   Euryalus (talk) 22:33, 14 January 2008 (UTC)

Yarrabah suffers from a poor reputation, most notably amongst its neighbours in ((Far North Queensland)). One such case is at the mention of the word Yarrabah to a Cairns resident usually incites laughter and mockery.
because it is uncited and, IMO, does not reflect something useful to be added to the Wikipedia entry.  It is not encyclopaedic.  With a citation and a slightly more neutral tone it might be appropriate to add.

Talk:Irukandji people

message: I am not an expert, Nor am I here to talk about things I am not 100% sure of. The only thing I came to say about this topic is yes the information about the Irukandji tribe was factual, My problem is that I did not do a search to find a tribe. I was looking for the extremely toxic and lethal Australian native animal called the Irukandji which I come to understand had been named after said tribe. Its a member of the jellyfish family,roughly half and inch in diameter,extremely hard to spot with the naked eye. 
I just wanted more details about it then what I saw on the discovery channel and what an Australian tour guide warning for dangerous indigenous animals spoke of. Thank you.

Talk:Ngadjuri

message: Under alternative names: "Burra Burra (a name for one of the Ngadjuri hordes)". does anyone have any linguistic evidence for this? it appears on the SAmuseum site without a source but nowhere else. 
It's often presumed that the town of Burra (formerly Burra Burra) is named after an indigenous word, although evidence for this is sceptical at best and it might be derived from Hindustani or even Cornish (see etymology section on the wiki for Burra). If the word Burra Burra can be confirmed as Ngadjuri it could clear up an etymological mystery, but I don't think it's appropriate to have on the page until a better evidence is found.

I don't know a lot about the band, but I would be willing to give it a go, make at least the basic set-up. --DutchECK 09:01, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

text: I almost completely rewrote the page. I used the text that was already present as the basis, but I trimmed nearly all of the trivia and fan-like items. I also added an infobox.

Talk:Mamu people

message: The first dispute with settlers occurred in 1872 when the survivors of the ship "Maria" that was shipwrecked near Johnstone River on the coast. Sub-Inspector Robert Johnstone sent a search party to look for survivors and to punish the Mamu who abused them. With the Native Troopers, he attacked the Mamu when he was escorting an explorer by the name of Dalrymple
This looks suspect. The Mamu were inland, and the coastal area was Djiru territory, and they must have been, in all likelihood the people who  both succored and killed the survivors of the shipwreck.Nishidani (talk) 17:15, 17 December 2016 (UTC)

Talk:Nargun

message: Aboriginal people hunted in the area and often spoke of the Den of Nargun, a shallow cave beneath a small waterfall on the Woolshed Creek. Aboriginal legend describes the Nargun as a beast that was all stone except for its hands, arms and breast. The fierce creature would drag unwary travellers into its den, and any weapon directed against it would be turned back on its owner. source

Talk:Gurindji people

message: Hi  (cc: )
You remove the "Outdated" template without reading the reason that I added in the 'Edit Summary', i.e." add 'Outdated as of |2008|12|31' because the article does not acknowledge the change of Local Government that occured in 2008".  The Daguragu Community Government Council ceased to exist in 2008 by the creation of the local government area of Victoria Daly Shire (now called the Victoria Daly Region).  The communities in both Daguragu and Kalkarindji are in one ward which returns one councillor to the Region, i.e.   Councillor Georgina Macleod.  In lieu of a community government council, Councillor Mcleod is assisted by a local authority which is composed of the following persons -  Kalkarindji-Daguragu local authority members.   Please reply here if you wish to do so.

replies: text: Templates are calls for someone to do work. I never personally put them in because if I note a problem I fix it. To throw the burden on future passing editors may just end up meaning that a page stays tagged for a decade. Of course we all have personal obligations that eat into the time we would otherwise like to dedicate to articles. In my experience however most things can be fixed in a few minutes. In the present instance, to fix what you point out simply requires a note to the effect as of 2008 the reorganization of what is now the  Victoria Daly Region categorizes both the Daguragu and Kalkarindji communities as forming one ward. (with citation). I removed the verification tag as well. When my attention was drawn back here, I just sat down and worked up some stuff, adding several sources, that took in real time about 25 minutes, though the edits took three hours (because I have duties as a carer for a person with advanced dementia, among many other things).

Talk:Boonwurrung

message: Spellings like Boon wurrung reflect colonial transcriptions, and the general practice is to write ethnonyms in a way more proximate to the probable original pronunciation or to that adopted by the descendants. 
*In this case Bunurong.
*The descendants have chosen to call themselves by this name, the Bunurong Land Council Aboriginal Corporation was incorporated and officially recognized by the Vic government on 19 July 2017.
* There's another reason. 'Boon' is far too close to the Australian derogatory term 'boong' used to put down  indigenous peoples. 
Particularly on the second grounds, the move back to Bunurong is obligatory. What the excellent Clarke wrote in 1995 is immaterial in this regard.
Any thoughts?Nishidani (talk) 17:17, 24 June 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: There's not an easy answer to this question. The Boon Wurrung Foundation uses 'Boonwurrung' on their page but 'Boon Wurrung' in their name, the VACL uses 'Boonwurrung', AIATSIS uses 'Boonwurrung'. For this reason, I'd suggest moving to 'Boonwurrung' if I get around to it, but the spelling of Aboriginal names are hotly contested. Poketama (talk) 19:57, 16 June 2022 (UTC)

replies: text: Typically, Australian languages follow a convention of prefixing an "r" to make any other consonant retroflex.

:I have removed the notability tag because I have found a number of bookes where this band is mentioned. However, it still could be useful to better assess the notability in the article itself.
