Talk:St John's Cemetery, Parramatta

[edit]

Much of the content currently included under "History" is actually about St. John's Cathedral, Parramatta rather than St. John's Cemetery, Parramatta. The result is that the reader must go through a lot of information that never mentions the cemetery, which is actually located seven minutes away from the church and, so, has its own story. To be more user-friendly, I recommend that the detailed content about the early history of the church currently under "History" should be moved and integrated into Wikipedia's existing St. John's Cathedral, Parramatta page here: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/St_John%27s_Cathedral,_Parramatta.

The information about the Darug lands under "History" should remain, as this is an important part of the pre-European history of the site where the cemetery is now located. The other new sections including the cemetery database (The St. John's Cemetery Project), the First Fleeters buried there, and the cemetery community group are all relevant to the St. John's Cemetery, Parramatta Wikipedia page specifically. Further information about the history of the actual cemetery itself can be found here (https://stjohnscemeteryproject.org/history/) if anyone feels there needs to be more detail added to the cemetery page once the cathedral content is moved to the cathedral page.
