[edit] Sister Cities

Does Sydney have any Sister Cities? Portillo (talk) 21:37, 28 October 2009 (UTC)

Yes it does.[1] --AussieLegend (talk) 01:53, 29 October 2009 (UTC)

This is a perennial question/issue with this article. Please note: this article Sydney is about the greater Sydney metro area. There is another article about the much smaller local government area at the centre of the Sydney Metro area – ie, City of Sydney. The sister city relationships are formally with the City of Sydney, and not Sydney. Thus, on wikipedia they are mentioned in the City of Sydney article, and not this Sydney article. Perhaps they *should* be mentioned here, but with the clear note that the relationship is actually with the City of Sydney. What do you think? --Merbabu (talk) 02:31, 29 October 2009 (UTC)

Thanks. As long as its mentioned somewhere. Portillo (talk) 04:52, 29 October 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Fashion capital?

This reference is not translating reality. Melbourne is the undisputed capital of fashion in Australia and is considered one of the major centres for fashion in the world. Nick carson (talk) 02:25, 25 November 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Deletion discussion

There's a relevant deletion discussion here, input would be greatly appreciated. —what a crazy random happenstance 02:52, 15 December 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Dictionary of Sydney

As some people watching this page may know, there is a project recently launched called the Dictionary of Sydney. It is the official digital encyclopedia of the Sydney region, funded by the Australian Research Council. Now, I used to work there and therefore have a CoI but I nevertheless think that the Dictionary would be a good thing to link to from the external links on this page. I've made a lengthy blogpost setting out the reasons why the two projects can work well together - not the least of which is that most of the articles there are cc-by-sa - http://www.wittylama.com/2009/12/dictionary-of-sydney/ . I would suggest that the Dictionary's frontpage be linked from this article, and the Dictionary's various articles about Sydney's suburbs be linked from WP's respective articles. What do you think?

[edit] Picture changes

I changed the picture. Sorry if I am not supposed to edit that. It was a nice picture but too big and needed something simpler. Bookscale (talk) 09:49, 1 March 2010 (UTC)
