[edit] Talk

Port Phillip has been incorrectly referred to as Port Phillip Bay pages in many of the suburb pages - I am happy to correct but wanted some thoughts from others

This comment is from Talk:Port Phillip about 12 months ago:
"According to the Geographic Place Names Register of Victoria (at [1]), Port Phillip is an "Official Place Name", and Port Phillip Bay an "Official Alternative Place Name". Philip J. Rayment 16:41, 12 Jan 2005 (UTC)." It would appear that there is nothing to correct. - Cuddy Wifter 05:03, 30 March 2006 (UTC)
Port Phillip Bay being the more common usage would tend to count in its favor as well - use common names. Ambi 06:09, 30 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Trams?

Should tram classes be listed here, e.g.

See C class Melbourne tram for an example of infoboxes and templates.

I think that's not a bad idea, as long as someone is prepared to do them (as they require a bit of knowledge outside of that related to Melbourne). Ambivalenthysteria 08:44, 21 Jun 2004 (UTC)

Prehaps tram routes could be incorporated, seeing as they're now getting articles. TPK 07:25, 4 Aug 2004 (UTC)

Feel free. :)
It'd be good to get things moving again here - a lot of the items on this list have been here for a couple of months now. Particularly the suburbs - we don't even have many good examples yet. Anyway, I've at least got the Fringe Festival on my to-do-very-soon list, and I'll try and get some of the others done. Have you had a chance to do any more line diagrams? Ambi 11:58, 4 Aug 2004 (UTC)
Unfortuneately no... things have slowed down a lot of late, which is a problem. I'll try and get some things done asap though. TPK 08:55, 23 Aug 2004 (UTC)
Any particular preference as to which tram routes should be done first? Ambi 09:35, 30 Aug 2004 (UTC)
You could pick them out of a hat? :) Probably the 109 as it has had some interesting recent history, or the light-rail lines (109 again and 96). I've tried to make some more railway diagrams, but Photoshop isn't being helpful... TPK 10:15, 30 Aug 2004 (UTC)
Ack, oh well. Is it worth having seperate tram line articles and railway line articles for St Kilda and Port Melbourne, considering that they cover the same ground? Ambi 10:27, 30 Aug 2004 (UTC)
Well the tram stops are different from the old train stations, and particularly the Port Melbourne line (as it was Australia's first!) has a lot of train-related history as distinct from its modern uses. I would make seperate articles and link them together with See Also. Anyway, routes 96 and 109 cover more ground on-street than they do on light-rail. TPK 11:25, 30 Aug 2004 (UTC)
Ack, I guess I missed this at the time. That's fair enough, then. Have you got a chance to create either of tram articles? I'd like to get those two line articles done, as we did the Inner and Outer Circles, but time is a little short at the moment.
I really should be doing more Melbourne-related stuff on here. As well as those rail articles, I think Sydney Road and Brunswick Street articles are about overdue. Ambi 05:00, 7 Sep 2004 (UTC)
Well, Sydney Road is done. I'm gradually doing odd bits here and there. Eventually may get around to doing some of the Bicycle trails. Maybe have a go at the 19 tram route... --Takver 03:03, 29 Oct 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Closed Railway Lines?

Hi, new here, be gentle, etc, etc. I was wondering whether there should be some standard method for labeling the points where now-defunct lines branched off the urban network - something of an integration between the current and previous lines. With a clear means of distingishing between the two types, of course. Loki 04:15, 29 Oct 2004

[edit] New template design

I've written up a new template for the Melbourne project. I based it on designs from other projects, and I feel that it's a little more professional. I'm having trouble getting the "Discuss" bit in the bottom right hand corner of the template to link to this talk page, and I have no idea why....? But here it is:
WikiProject: WikiProject Melbourne
Here are some open WikiProject Melbourne tasks:
edit • Discuss


So, what do you think?

It looks fine to me. It'd be really nice if its content saw a bit of an update, too. Ambi 05:06, 22 October 2005 (UTC)
