[edit] Checklist for the Completed Guidelines
- An explanation of the suburb's location.
A history of the area, including (at a bare minimum) how it was created and when.- An explanation of the suburb's name.
For an article to be considered a featured suburb it must be of high quality. It must have all the attributes of a normal featured article (this means a good lead section, excellent prose, etc), and must also have the following information:
- A map, showing where the suburb is located in Adelaide. Tip: getting a good map under an acceptable copyright / license is not currently very easy, but attempts are being made to improve this.... <Trying to get one now.. ---The Doctor- "Would you like a Jelly Baby?" 05:20, 16 November 2006 (UTC)>
Population statisticsTransport information (e.g. does the suburb rely of buses, trains, ferries, etc).- Information about local events if applicable(e.g. community festivals, council-organised events, etc).
Information about local landmarks or features, along with pictures of these landmarks or features.A more complete section on the suburb's history (e.g. notable historical events, times when the suburb grew quickly, etc).- Notable citizens who were born or lived in the suburb (optional, but if they existed then they should be in the article). Tip: they only need to be in list form, together with less than 20 words saying who they were.
- A reference section. All facts need to be attributable to an external source of information (say a newspaper report/cutting, book about the town, local council document).
- Information about any prominent local organisations (churches, historical societies, local clubs, etc). If you prefer, you can just include links to local organisations in an External Links section.
- Added brownie points go to anyone who researches the area and puts in a section detailing the past aboriginal culture of the area.
- Optional: Politics (local issues, what state and federal electorate the suburb is in, who are the current local members, is it a safe Labor seat/safe Libs seat/marginal seat).
Don't let this hold you back, however! If you have more information than what is on this page then please, by all means add it! Also, if you only have a bit of information about the suburb, then please add it to the page and use the template below to mark it as a suburb stub.
