edit · history · watch · refresh  To-do list for Brisbane: |
|
- The lead is too short and does not summarise some important parts of the article. There is information in geography, governance, economy etc... that would do well to be mentioned here
- Brisbane has a very dark history with regards to Aborigines and the traditional Indigenous groups in the area...colonial history is important why is none of this mentioned?
- Major editing is required to incorporate History, Geography, Governance, Economy, Education, Culture, Infrastructure of all of the surrounding LGAs incorporating the entire Brisbane Metropolitan Area.
- Stubby paras need combining or expanding
- "The lower population...now frequently replaced by steel or concrete. This section needs inline citations
- "Brisbane's economy has white-collar and blue-collar industries" Doesn't sound particularly interesting (Don't all cities?) Perhaps a rewrite of this section which seems to be more about urban geography than economy.
- University para could be expanded to be more interesting than a prose list. This also need sourcing.
- Venues para - needs sourcing and rewriting for clarity
- Annual events - needs sourcing
- Media - inline cites
- Media - add information on Community Radio stations
- There is a list of private hospitals but not of the larger public ones?
- Transport - needs an extensive rewrite to improve the prose and needs inline citations for much of the section.
- Utilities - choppy paras
- No information as to what the proposed pipeline is and where it runs
- The climate data table has significant errors. It sources the BOM but according to the Bureaus Brisbane regional office the city's annual rainfall is much higher than the amount in wiki. It also has less sunshine annual hours. Not 3000 but closer to 2730.

[edit] Inverted Map
I was looking at the Urban Map and got a mite confused, UQ's north of QUT, WoE? Somebody needs to either flip the map the correct way round or make a note that it's showing South-North not North-South as you'd expect. 118.208.11.20 (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 05:46, 16 September 2011 (UTC).
[edit] Which picture better?
Which picture better to infobox?
 |

View from Kangaroo Point and Mount Coot-tha
|
Pictures to infobox should show the greatest area / whole city, not a few boats and buildings, therefore prefers the second picture (Mount Coot-tha). Also, in the article is already picture from Kangaroo Point (will be two?), no photos from Mount Coot-tha - the second argument for picture from Mount Coot-tha. However, not everyone wants this picture. What is your opinion and arguments? Which picture better to infobox? Subtropical-man (talk) 14:07, 7 October 2011 (UTC)
- Though the second image definitely shows more, I think the first image is more appropriate because I think it represents Brisbane better. To me at least, that's how I picture Brisbane, the skyline and the river. The second image I think would be appropriate maybe for "Urban structure", but I don't think for the main image. Also, I think it's taken from too great a distance, making the buildings look a bit too small for the main image. Just my thoughts. EDIT: Hmm, well, the buildings aren't actually that much smaller than the first image, but still I think the one's in the first image are of a more appropriate size.Anoldtreeok (talk) 01:18, 8 October 2011 (UTC)
First one. kanga point shows icononic angle of skyline. cootha shows worst angle of skyline with least iconic buildings. and no river! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Saruman-the-white (talk • contribs) 15:50, 8 October 2011 (UTC)
- Maybe I can take a new set of photos of the city when the Soleil building is finished, and the other one also that's being constructed in the city. And I can put them up here and everyone can vote for which ones they prefer the most. If you have any preferred spots you think I should try, just let me know and i'll try to accomodate it.

Most definately from here (http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/e/e5/Brisbane_skyline_bluesky.jpg) or here (http://www.globeimages.net/data/media/34/brisbane_skyline_australia.jpg) as a skyline photo must be from the other side of the river, in order to get in all of the landmark iconic buildings (waterfront, cp1, 111 eagle, riparian, etc). the mt cootha angle gets the shortest and least icononic buildings , and does not show the river, an iconic feature of the city. These are considered the two most defining angles for a skyline shot of brisbane. Saruman-the-white (talk) 10:24, 19 October 2011 (UTC)
[edit] Climate section
The Climate section in the article is "defeat". Not counting record temperatures and sea temperatures, writes only about natural disasters etc. There is a lack of basic climate information. In a week I change the name section to "natural disasters" ;) You should create a new article Climate of Brisbane, like as Climate of Sydney. In the new article, you can write about the curiosities, example Dust storms from 23 September 2009 etc. Subtropical-man (talk) 13:52, 9 October 2011 (UTC)
[edit] Brisvegas section.
Personally I don't believe it belongs on the Brisbane page, as a "Brisbanite" it's an embarrassment, it was started as a joke as we were the "big country town" with one casino and no class. It does not belong on a wiki page, especially being that we are trying to introduce ourselves as a world city, we don't need and the insult on our page. I have removed it. If someone want to put it back incorporate it into another piece of text but it doesn't warrant a sub-catergory. — Preceding unsigned comment added by IsabelleF (talk • contribs) 08:48, 26 October 2011 (UTC)
- It's already been restored, multiple times (along with the archived talk page you tried to blank). 69.181.251.214 (talk) 08:59, 26 October 2011 (UTC)
- Regardless of your opinions, it belongs in the article, firstly because it is welled reference, secondly because its a fairly notable and common attribute that doesn't warrant a new article and even if it does it will be briefly mentioned in this article. Wikipedia is not an advertisement or advocacy for certain topics or in this case cities, removal of section will concomitantly be direct contravention of WP:Neutral.

[edit] Main image
This image should be used: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Brisbane_Skyline_Evening.jpg
It is up to date and gives a much better view of the city. The current image only really shows the Eagle st side. Also at night it looks really cool. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Heugfignf (talk • contribs) 01:09, 30 October 2011 (UTC)
