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)

Trams?

Should tram classes be listed here, e.g.

• Trams: Z1 class, B2 class

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)

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

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: Suburbs: Elwood, St Kilda, Broadmeadows, Sunshine, Caulfield_North, More... Landmarks:: Rippon Lea Estate, Como Mansion, Queen Victoria Market, Rosie's Van, Werribee Mansion, More... Events: Fashion Festival, Film Festival, Writer's Festival, More... Railways: Healesville line, Rosstown Railway, Whittlesea line, St Kilda line, Port Melbourne line, More... Stations: Dandenong, Footscray, Watergardens, Epping, Ormond, More... Tramways: 1, 64, 67, 86, 8, More... Streets - Lonsdale Street, Toorak Road, King Street, More... People - Charles Grimes, Alfred Felton, Charles Hotham, Matthew Elliot, More... Institutions: - Melbourne Maritime Museum, Scienceworks Museum, Royal Melbourne Show, Organisations: - Melbourne City Council, Save Our Suburbs, Melbourne and Metropolitan Tramways Board, • Discuss

So, what do you think?

Dupz 03:41, 22 October 2005 (UTC)

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)

Arts organisations?

I recently created an article regarding a Melbourne performing arts organisation. I don't see a subcategory for arts organisations. Does such a category exist? If not, should one be created? MusicMen 16:07, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

Category:Performing_arts_in_Australia is where it would be I would think. yeah one probably should be Farsouth 00:01, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

This location is not a good fit for community choral organisations, however, yet there are many such organisations worth listing. MusicMen 01:11, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

What are you thinking would be a good fit? Farsouth 09:05, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

Perhaps a "choral" subheading under "classical"? Or "community arts" as its own sub-group? The problem with "classical" is that it currently lists professional performing arts organizations (e.g. orchestra, opera, ballet). Also, many community groups present music that would not be considered "classical" (e.g. showtunes, pop, musical theatre, jazz). MusicMen 22:20, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

Community arts org cat, seems better to me. Farsouth 02:58, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

I agree. How should I go about it? I've not added a Category before. MusicMen 19:47, 23 March 2007 (UTC)

Starting one if you mean that is simple enough i think, I am not exactly certain on where I would put it. which means neither have I made a category yet. Someone who has should read this. Farsouth 01:57, 24 March 2007 (UTC)

Hawthorn tram depot

I am commenting here because I just reviewed the new article Hawthorn tram depot and added the appropriate templates to the talk page. I included {{reqphoto|in=Melbourne}} as the last template, which puts the talk page in category:Wikipedia requested photographs in Melbourne. This is a "To Do" list for your project.

I visited Melbourne a few years ago, and I much admired your tram (Americans say "trolley") system. In Philadelphia, we only have a few remnants of a once extensive light rail system. See SEPTA Route 15. --DThomsen8 (talk) 13:59, 29 July 2012 (UTC)

Reform

Hi all, I am reforming this page as the last time it was updated was in 2012. I am adding in new stubs/short articles that need to be filled in, all by alphabetical order. Please help me out in this process, thanks! :) Doggo375 (talk) 7:45, 21 May 2020 (UTC)

Melbourne Metro in wrong category

Melbourne Metro is listed under "Miscellaneous" and not under "Transport" --Trainsofvictoria (talk) 08:21, 3 May 2021 (UTC)

Updated stubs

Many are not stubs are are not really needing attention anymore, i.e. Metro Trains Melbourne. Some technically are not stubs but are not sourced enough or otherwise need attention so I kept those. Please add any that you find MarkiPoli (talk) 14:24, 13 September 2023 (UTC)
