This is a mess

Most of it seems to be about the various iterations of the "Government House" in downtown Sydney, which has nothing to do with the alternative "Government House" at Parramatta.Eregli bob (talk) 13:30, 15 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I agree; the focus of this article should be the house at Parramatta. I have created a new article First Government House, Sydney based on the Original Government House section of this article and will now remove that content from here. Kerry (talk) 03:21, 5 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

After 3.4 years, this article is still a mess. Most of the text is simply paraphrased, sometimes word for word, from other sources that have not been cited. Considering the site and the property has recently undergone restoration, which has been now finished, it is amazing how confusing the details as presented. The comment on indigenous history seems to be totally irrelevant, and has more to do with Parramatta Park rather than Old Government House discussed in this article. I do think it should be deleted, or at least move to the article on Parramatta Park. Any suggestions? Itchycoocoo (talk) 23:28, 23 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This edit on 28th August 2018 [1] made by The Drover's Wife has copied and plagiarised nearly all the text and many of the images all from the Australian Government's 'Heritage : Australian Heritage Database' totalling 79,232 words. The user claims "Merging content from multiple CC-BY sources", but +99% seems from just one source. This material seems to be subjected to copyright laws, which is being ignored by the same user.

The material is CC-BY licensed, as stated in the edit summary and correctly attributed, which is, and has always been, usable on Wikipedia, and was added as part of a massive project by a number of Australian editors to import quality CC-BY content from a number of heritage sources. Please don't accuse people of posting material that "seems to be subjected to copyright laws" when you lack an understanding of said copyright laws (and have even managed to get the cited source for the majority of the material wrong despite it being right there in the article). I have not been active on Wikipedia for years, so I'm not sure what you think was "ignored". The Drover's Wife (talk) 09:11, 4 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

References

The article relies heavily on this page. However the references are not clear: for example, there are many instances of "Attenbrow", "Kass", Walker", "Rosen", "DPWS", "Proudfoot" that are not cited at all in a bibliography; besides also other references lack important data, such as "WIlloughby, 2013", "Stuart Read, pers.comm., 8/11/2013" and "Annual Report 2010/11, 11-12". Could you please help improve them?--151.68.1.89 (talk) 17:35, 14 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
