Talk:Old Melbourne Gaol

message: This is an interesting article, but it could do with serious expansion. Is it STILL a gaol. If not, then when did it close and what is it today?
:The building is currently a museum. I'll look into it more and provide updates when I can. I haven't visited myself for many many years. I've added this information to the article. -- Longhair | Talk 07:23, 21 Jun 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: I just took another look. The article already mentioned it closed as a prison in 1926, and "it currently exhibits 19th century gaol life, including the death masks and memorabilia of some of Melbourne's most notorious criminals". A museum :) I'll see what expansions I can muster up. -- Longhair | Talk 07:27, 21 Jun 2005 (UTC)
thread_title: Interesting article

message: Unless we can find a good source, I suggest that we remove the table of people who were hanged:
* I could not find the information in the reference that was given. 
* The text says there were 135 hangings, but I counted 48 people in the table.
* I removed the "murder" designations from the first six entries in the table. I consider that information even more suspect, because it was added as part of an edit that included a comment that I removed as inappropriate.

replies: text: I have recently updated the table, and corrected the first batch of entries based on a photo taken at the Old Melbourne Gaol, of a plaque which lists the names of those executed - yes, I know this is original research, but it has to be more correct than it was previously.
