Possible source for CityRail information
I recently did a quick search on Google for possible sources and came across a few references to A Compendium of CityRail Travel Statistics published by RailCorp. If someone could get a copy, then it could be a valuable source. Harryboyles 06:51, 23 June 2007 (UTC)
Peer review of Attack on Sydney Harbour
I've just started a peer review for the Attack on Sydney Harbour article, at Wikipedia:WikiProject Military history/Peer review/Attack on Sydney Harbour. As this falls under the grounds of WikiProject Sydney, I'm requesting that members of this group come forward and find the flaws in the article before it makes a run for A-class review, and hopefully Wikipedia:Featured article candidates. -- saberwyn 06:30, 2 July 2007 (UTC)
Attack on Sydney Harbour FAC
Attack on Sydney Harbour is currently up for Featured Article Candidature. I would appreciate it if memners of WikiProject Sydney could come forward and make their thoughts known in this discussion. -- saberwyn 01:23, 8 August 2007 (UTC)
CityRail
Apologies if this is in the wrong place. A discussion has opened at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Trains#CityRail templates over the formatting and presentation of succession templates on CityRail articles. Best, Mackensen (talk) 01:00, 17 August 2007 (UTC)
Remember that giant hailstorm in 1999?
The one which caused $1.7 billion damage? If anyone has any photos they could upload, that'd be great. Government agencies can't give me much, unfortunately. If you could upload any form of photo of this event or the aftermath, I'd be extremely grateful. Cheers, Daniel 11:49, 5 September 2007 (UTC)
Today's Featured Article (Main Page - October 2)
Eastern Suburbs & Illawarra railway line, Sydney is the featured main page article today. The first Sydney article I believe to be featured there. Well done everyone. JRG 03:40, 2 October 2007 (UTC)
Anyone live in the Inner West?
Sardaka, J Bar and some others have been compiling some heritage photos of suburbs around Sydney. Can someone take a photo of Llangollen House in Summer Hill? It's at 52 Grosvenor Crescent near Summer Hill station (the hospital site). I believe it's going to get demolished soon, and while it's in a bit of a dilapidated state at present, it's better that we get a photo now than not at all. While someone is at it, a photo of Grosvenor Hospital (the former mansion Carleton which is mentioned in teh Summer Hill article) and some of the mansions on Victoria St, Ashfield, opposite Trinity Grammar School, would be helpful too. There's a heritage page at Ashfield Council with some helpful files on different houses in the area. Any help would be much appreciated. JRG 08:43, 15 October 2007 (UTC)
How soon is it being demolished? For me the problem in getting a photo is not geographical proximity, but access to a camera. If it's urgent, I could try to arrange something. Bruiseviolet (talk) 05:59, 7 December 2007 (UTC)
- Fairly soon, I gather - they have been assembling construction buildings in the old driveway. JRG (talk) 05:39, 28 December 2007 (UTC)
Peer review of Presbyterian Ladies' College, Sydney
I've started a peer review for the Presbyterian Ladies' College, Sydney article (it can be found here). The article was promoted to GA in November and I feel it could potentially be a FA, but im not sure what else needs to be done to it before I take it to FAC. I would appreciate any suggestions.

Changes to the WP:1.0 assessment scheme
As you may have heard, we at the Wikipedia 1.0 Editorial Team recently made some changes to the assessment scale, including the addition of a new level. The new description is available at WP:ASSESS.
- The new C-Class represents articles that are beyond the basic Start-Class, but which need additional references or cleanup to meet the standards for B-Class.
- The criteria for B-Class have been tightened up with the addition of a rubric, and are now more in line with the stricter standards already used at some projects.
- A-Class article reviews will now need more than one person, as described here.
Each WikiProject should already have a new C-Class category at Category:C-Class_articles. If your project elects not to use the new level, you can simply delete your WikiProject's C-Class category and clarify any amendments on your project's assessment/discussion pages. The bot is already finding and listing C-Class articles.
Please leave a message with us if you have any queries regarding the introduction of the revised scheme. This scheme should allow the team to start producing offline selections for your project and the wider community within the next year. Thanks for using the Wikipedia 1.0 scheme!

Tourism Sydney
I think this one is better than a C class. You might want to have it upgraded. Also, why is this 'Tourism' which I thought would be better suited to the tourism industry - hotels, govt support, marketing etc. Shouldn't it be Travel or Visitor information? Mdw0 (talk) 08:13, 28 August 2008 (UTC)
Wikipedia 0.7 articles have been selected for Sydney
Wikipedia 0.7 is a collection of English Wikipedia articles due to be released on DVD, and available for free download, later this year. The Wikipedia:Version 1.0 Editorial Team has made an automated selection of articles for Version 0.7.
We would like to ask you to review the articles selected from this project. These were chosen from the articles with this project's talk page tag, based on the rated importance and quality. If there are any specific articles that should be removed, please let us know at Wikipedia talk:Version 0.7. You can also nominate additional articles for release, following the procedure at Wikipedia:Release Version Nominations.
A list of selected articles with cleanup tags, sorted by project, is available. The list is automatically updated each hour when it is loaded. Please try to fix any urgent problems in the selected articles. A team of copyeditors has agreed to help with copyediting requests, although you should try to fix simple issues on your own if possible.
We would also appreciate your help in identifying the version of each article that you think we should use, to help avoid vandalism or POV issues. These versions can be recorded at this project's subpage of User:SelectionBot/0.7. We are planning to release the selection for the holiday season, so we ask you to select the revisions before October 20. At that time, we will use an automatic process to identify which version of each article to release, if no version has been manually selected. Thanks! For the Wikipedia 1.0 Editorial team, SelectionBot 23:21, 15 September 2008 (UTC)
- It's a pity that two rugby league teams (Sydney Roosters, South Sydney Rabbitohs) are included but no other football codes. Is it possible to tweak the numbers so that Sydney Swans is included; they are just below the present cutoff [1]. WWGB (talk) 06:37, 16 September 2008 (UTC)
Drains, Bunkers and Tunnels
There have been a number of photos loaded into Sydney suburb articles recently by and editor who has an interest in drains bunkers and tunnels. I think that there is sometimes a good reason to have these sorts of photos if the structure really is a well-known feature of the suburb but I am concerened that we will end up with a lot of photos of items which are not really landmark structures in those suburbs. The Macquarie Park, New South Wales is the latest article which has had 2 large photos of drains loaded in the article. I am keen to hear from other Sydney project contributors because I don't want to get caught up in an edit war with one editor who insists on including these photos in a prominent position. J Bar (talk) 08:53, 5 October 2008 (UTC)
- The site referenced on that page is essentially a blog for urban explorers in Canada who happened to do a trip inside the drain. It is not a notable source that can verify the notability of the drain. You are well within your rights to delete it; it's also not mentioned in the article so it's not directly relevant to anything in the text. At best it should be in a gallery and much more preferably not at all (put it in Commons for people to have a look at there). JRG (talk) 04:34, 6 October 2008 (UTC)
