Massacre

At the time of British settlement in 1829, the leader of the Pindjarup was Calyute, who sought to prevent his people from starvation by leading a famous but peaceful raid upon Shenton's Mill in South Perth, taking many bags of flour, which was highly prized by his people

In stating that it was a raid, this implies millitary force. Perhaps this needs to be reworded (I cannot see how a raid could be conducted peacefully).Ga rr ie 06:03, 22 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Events after 1834 - miscegenation

To be honest I can work out from the context what I think this word means. It seems to be fairly obscure. Could the sentence be reworded using less obscure language? Ga rr ie 21:55, 27 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

All of these Noongar articles are free composition.

The most famous modern Pindjarup is the dramatist and poet Jack Davis (1917-2000), born in Yarloop, just south of Pinjarra, who has been called "Western Australia's Poet Laureat", for his many plays and poetry, including the famous No Sugar, which continues to be widely performed.

His autobiography says that he was born in born in Waroona, and that the family moved to Yarloop when he was five years old. This like virtually everything in these articles, may have some source, but nothing is visible, and the reader is required to verify every line. Unless editors can produce RS for every statement, everything should be removed, perhaps put on the talk page, until a source is forthcoming. Wikipedia doesn't allow free composition, and its readers have a right to expect that those who edited in its contents did so with scruple and according to its best practices.Nishidani (talk) 21:02, 21 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
