Talk:Truby King

message: This article should probably be called Truby King, as that is the name he is best known by. It certainly should not be called Sir Frederic Truby King; Wikipedia does not include "Sir" in the titles of biographies. See Wikipedia:Naming conventions (people). Frederic Truby King would be acceptable if the shorter name is not considered suitable for any reason. Redirects should be created from the other names.-gadfium 09:28, 6 July 2006 (UTC)

message: Can we supply a date for:‘It is better to put a fence at the top of a cliff than to station an ambulance at the bottom’? And was the poem "The Ambulance Down in the Valley" by Joseph Malins (1895) prior or inspired by it? According to "In a Strange Garden: The Life and Times of Truby King" it [was] "a common saying that was adopted by Truby King as motto for his weekly 'Hygeia' newspaper column".Koroke (talk) 04:27, 24 March 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  Aphorisms 

message: I propose adding some new content - with references including from F. Truby King, Feeding and Care of Baby, Auckland, Whitcombe & Tombs, 1918.   The focus will be on King's prescribed methods of rearing babies.   I'll include some critical comment regarding the Truby King method - again duly referenced to authoritative sources.
I'll work on text and will test that out here in the talk pages - so will welcome comment. 203.166.225.56 (talk) 06:07, 18 January 2016 (UTC)

Talk:Tilley's

message: I added some history on Tilley's from personal knowledge, but there should be newspaper sources for the argy-bargy with the cadets.  The current description stuff is also from personal knowledge, but it seems a bit relevant.
f there is going to be a listing for Tilley's at all it needs more of the history stuff.  The only reason it would merit an 'encyclopedia' reference is its importance as a pioneering women's/queer space in Canberra, and its role as a crucial neighborhood fixture and center of social life in the Inner North, with its high concentration of left/progressive intelligentsia and culture industry workers and the like.

Obviously I can’t rule out the possibility, but I doubt that a ruckus of any scale wouldn’t have been a topic of discussion the following week.

replies: text:  Seven years on, I have come here to make exactly that same point.  The 1970 celebrations are worthy of note as background, but they were never described at the time as "Australian Bicentenary", "Bicentenary of Australia" or anything like that.  Events in 1970 should NOT take pride of place in an article that should be all about what happened in 1988.  --  Jack of Oz [Talk] 22:53, 28 May 2013 (UTC)

Talk:Tally-Ho (rolling papers)

message: Should the city in Florida really be here? It's "Tally Ho", and the product in question is "Tally-Ho". There's an article on the expression at Tally-ho, which has a redirect from Tally Ho, which is probably where the city should be. I think this may justify a disambiguation page, but I'm not inclined to take that step by myself.
By the way - I'm the author of the linked article on Grouse. I've never been a source before, so I'm even less inclined to step in and rearrange things myself.

thread_title:  Disambiguation required? 

message: Spanish phrase? The 'Tally-Ho' article makes note of the phrase's primarily British character and suggests a possible etymology stemming from a French word. I'm finding difficulty in seeing where the Spanish language fits into all of this. As such, I've changed it to "for the phrase..." If there's some underlying logic I've missed, however, by all means change it back. 86.12.227.28 (talk) 22:58, 24 July 2008 (UTC)

Talk:Chatsbury bushfires

message: To enhance the article I started with revising the first few lines because they matched closely to other sources.  I then added information about the ignition and spread of the fire from an additional source.  It's important to provide more information because this event had a large impact on the area and changed the face of its ecosystem. Bushfires are common in Australia due to the dryness in the warmer months; therefore, people need to know how bushfires can affect the area.  It still needs help with citations and sources.

Talk:Coat of arms of Western Australia

message: The full title of the Armorial Bearings Protection Act 1979 is "An Act to prohibit the unauthorised use of the Royal, State or other Arms and for other incidental purposes". This seems to draw a distinction between the Royal Arms (the arms borne by the Queen) and the State Arms (the arms used by Western Australia). I'm therefore removing the listing of Elizabeth II, Queen of Australia as armiger from the infobox as it will need a definite citation. Opera hat (talk) 00:41, 22 January 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Fair enough, but you'll still need to provide a citation for that legal interpretation. Opera hat (talk) 13:29, 8 February 2009 (UTC)

text: The High Court disagrees - see in particular the quote from Windeyer J that starts "The Colonies which in 1901 became States in the new Commonwealth were not before then sovereign bodies in any strict legal sense; and certainly the Constitution did not make them so." Also a google search for "majesty in right of western australia" returns only this page. TRS-80 (talk) 14:18, 8 February 2009 (UTC)

text: The High Court ruling cited is completely irrelevant as subsequent constitutional developments (i.e. the Australia Acts) have fundamentally changed the legal standing of Australian states. Prior to the Australia Acts, they were still in practice British colonies, with Westminster still able to overrule state legislation and Governors appointed on the advice of the British government. Since the passing of the Australia Acts, the states have become sovereign in their own right (although subject, as is the Commonwealth, to the limitations imposed by the Australian Constitution) with the monarchy being legally distinct in each state. 110.32.128.194 (talk) 03:36, 13 February 2011 (UTC)

message: Blue tongue lizards love to eat snails, and as such if you poison snails with snail poison, the blue tongue lizards (or skinks) may eat a poisoned snail, then die of poisoning themselves. I see this as a environmental concern to blue tongues. I have a female blue tongue skink, and she is at no harm. besides, she was very young when I got her, and I couldn't give her snails, so I found another source of protein for her.

Talk:Barry McKenzie

message: The termination reason given in the article (unreliability) is significantly different from the account offered by Humphries and Garland in The Complete Barry McKenzie. They reproduce a memo from Ingrams, which announced the censoring of one submission, recognised that this might cause Humphries to quit, but hoped that he would continue. Humphries states in the book "Barry McKenzie finally petered out as a result of an editorial decision, ironically at a time when I had written at least six months' worth of material in advance." This rather belies the unreliability case, especially as the book contains the pre-prepared material. PDAWSON3 (talk) 23:41, 23 January 2018 (UTC)

message: The Wikipedia is not a dictionary entry says:
Although articles should begin with a definition and description of a subject, they should provide other types of information about that subject as well. Articles that contain nothing more than a definition should be expanded with additional encyclopedic content, if possible. In some cases, a word or phrase itself may be an encyclopedic topic, such as old school, Macedonia (terminology), or truthiness.
