Should the list of suburbs be at the front or at the end? Although it's like an appendix, isn't it rather important since it defines what the LGA consists of? Enochlau 04:23, 13 September 2005 (UTC)

I moved the list because when it was placed at the front, its length made it look a bit awkward. The boundaries of LGAs are defined, I think, by acts of state parliament and not necessarily match with a set list of suburbs. Even if they do, there's no reason to list them front up. The article on Australia, for example, doesn't start with a list of its states. --Yu Ninjie 09:02, 13 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] 2005 Riots

There need to be some discussion of the riots that are taking place (at the time of writing this) in Cronulla and subsequently other areas. However, this needs to be given context and linked to a dedicated wiki-page. A full description does not belong here. Also, it should not be at the beginning as it is not a defining feature of the area - maybe it should go under "culture" (or lack of it...)?

Wait until the riots have "finished". Sutherland doesn't need it just yet. -

I agree entirely, so why is there a poorly written paragraph in the initial information section just before the contets box? Witty lama 03:05, 14 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Cleaning suburbs in LGAs to remove redlinks

Hi, Can people who know or care about this LGA please have a look at this message and see if they can please help solve any of the redlinks in the "suburbs" section of this page? (Usually solution is either to add a stub about the suburb / locality in question, or to remove it from the LGA's list). -- All the best, Nickj (t) 04:23, 23 January 2006 (UTC)

I'm fairly sure some of these are fictional, Bangor Heights, Menai Heights and Menai East to name a few. Quolnok 15:40, 4 March 2006 (UTC)

Thank you! -- All the best, Nickj (t) 04:32, 4 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Suburb localities

I've noticed many of the smaller "localalities" or "bays" have sprung up as suburbs in the Sutherland Shire Wikipedia articles. For example, Taren Point, Dolan's Bay, Pt Hacking, Lilli Pilli, etc have all shown up as suburbs, when realistically, they are all part of Caringbah, which is the name of the suburb with the postcode. I'm sure the same has been done for many other suburbs (inc Miranda, Menai, etc). Isn't this a little misleading, and in fact a bit of duplication. Supposed "suburbs" like Pt Hacking are in fact quite small and often ill-defined (often confused with Lilli Pilli and Dolans Bay) --Christopher Armstrong 05:52, 12 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Education

I noticed this quote with regard to Caringbah High School:

"...however in comparison to other selective high schools within Sydney its exam results tend to be poor..."

In fact in 2002 the school in question achieved an overall rank of 12 for all schools in New South Wales (rank varies slightly depending on source, the highest i have seen was a rank of 8). Does this warrant the description given? There are many more selective high schools which achieve a lower ranking than selective schools which achieve a higher, though i lack the thorough research required to back up this rebut with some concrete evidence; someone with more background may be able to either correct the article or enlighten me.

Also noted that this particular comment was made by a non-logged in IP with no comment in the edit summary... perhaps evidence of unfounded conjecture? Yoimjamie 02:33, 13 July 2006 (UTC)

I've put a ^{[citation needed]} next to that sentence. If you think the sentence should be removed or altered based on the information you have, then go ahead and change it. If you're altering it, make sure you reference your sources.--Just James 03:58, 18 December 2006 (UTC)
