message: I think the article needs a bit of a jiggle to get it flowing right. The sections on City of Armidale and Armidale Dumaresq could be merged together and the Template:Austlocalgovtarea can be added to this section as well. Any comments? - Kiwifruitboi 04:20, 7 January 2006 (UTC)

I've removed this from the article for the meantime because the photos are of poor quality and are up to ten years old. I may have to embark on a photography afternoon. --Biggles 12:15, 28 June 2007 (UTC)

message: The picture of the mall was taken in 2001. Since I no longer live in Armidale I can't get a photo of the new style mall. Can anyone undertake this task? Also, the Centro picture is very outdated. A photo of the entrance (with the daunting endless staircase) would be great! --Biggles (talk) 13:32, 14 September 2008 (UTC)

message: I have slightly corrected the description of Duval High School and Armidale High school to "secondary schools" as "higher education facility" in Australian usage means tertiary, i.e university or equivalent. Also, TAS, NEGS and PLC are independent, not private schools. Anglicant (talk) 06:21, 3 October 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Schools 

message: The statement that the "UNE changed Armidale from a rural market town into a city of great culture and diversity, with a much larger artistic and cultural element than might be expected for a country region" is utterly subjective and absurd. Armidale's status as a city arose originally from its cathedrals. It was always much more than a market town. Long before UNE was established, there was Armidale Teachers' College (founded 1928). Many factors, including the university, contribute to Armidale's cultural life and diversity. I have modified the sentence in the article. I have also removed the adjective, "great" - lovely as Armidale is, it's hardly Florence!!! Anglicant (talk) 06:45, 3 October 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  University 

message: This article was correctly tagged in October 2010 for its resemblance to this source. Evidence suggests, however, that the content was published here first and taken from here, perhaps by Peter Burr, University of New England, who is credited as having supplied it to that website. The earliest archive of this page dates to September 17, 2007. The content entered in bulk on 17 April of that same year (). However, on September 3, 2007, just before the archive of the other page appears, changes were made in a series of two edits (, ) that appear in the external source. The odds that our contributor copied the content but altered those numbers which were later edited back by another contributor are quite slim.
Thanks to the sharp-eyed reviewer who tagged the similarity. It's always good to investigate this situation! But unless there is compelling evidence offered to counterbalance the signs of evolution here, we have to presume that there is no copyvio on Wikipedia's part. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 21:20, 5 November 2010 (UTC)
thread_title: Close paraphrasing issues

message: I write to inform you of an inaccuracy relating to the Traditional owners of Armidale. It is stated in the article, the " Anaiwan people are the traditional owners in Armidale" This is incorrect The traditional owners of Armidale are the Gumbaynggirr people. A traditional elder of the Gumbaynggirr people is King Malawangi (King Bobby or King Robert) Documents that support this "Australian Town and Country Journal (Sydney NSW 1870-1907) Saturday 25 Feburary 1893 page 12" Lord Jersey's Visit to Armidale.  Dawn Magazine December 1962.'King Sized' Aboriginal Chief saw the coming of the white man". The information pre dates the map of Tinsdale relating to Aboriginal language groups.  There are other documented evidence to show the Traditional owners of Armidale is the Gumbaynggirr people.Family history of the area can trace a direct link to king Malawangi and his decendants that still live in Armidale today.

message: Hello,
I have concerns about the information provided on wikipedia's web site, it state the Armidale's traditional owners are Gumbaynggirr, this is incorrect!
The true and highly documented traditional owners are the Anaiwan peoples, can we change the site to reflect the correct information.
Anaiwan are a very unique language community, separate from the Gumbaynggirr
the Gumbaynggirr had a name for the Anaiwan
Jarriwan
Sources: on the map in the Gumbaynggirr dictionary it identifies Armidale area as Anaiwan/Jarriwan
