Picture request of Adelaide's night skyline??
It would be good if someone could add a pic/paranormic photo of Adelaide's night skyline from the Adelaide Hills. RaptorRobot 10:34, 29 January 2007 (UTC)
- There are already enough photos in the article, including this night skyline.--cj | talk 19:21, 1 February 2007 (UTC)
Cyberjunkie, no there nots. Of at least we need an update because the city skyline in changing with thos new buildings being built.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 58.160.133.39 (talk • contribs) 15:30, 9 April 2007 (ACST.
- Yes, the night skyline photo I referred to two months ago has now been removed because of an inappropriate license. As for a new photo of the skyline, you're welcome to go take one and upload it. --cj | talk 06:58, 9 April 2007 (UTC)
Coordinates
Could some one possibly find out the Degrees, Minutes and Seconds for Adelaide and fix them as most other Major Australian cities are in DMS???? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 203.158.45.83 (talk) 08:32, 7 February 2007 (UTC).
- Click on the link and scroll down to the table to find the coordinates translated into several formats and coordinate systems. --Scott Davis Talk 10:11, 7 February 2007 (UTC)
State Flag
Does anyone have a better image of the state flag?
The current one, particularly the piping shriker image, looks positively amatuerish, and the colors look wrong too.... —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Fashion cadaver (talk • contribs) 11:46, 13 April 2007 (UTC).
Southern Ocean?
The second sentence in this article starts like this: "It is a coastal city beside the Southern Ocean,"... I changed this in ..."beside the Indian Ocean"... A few hours later I was reverted with the comment that Australians still perceive it as the Southern Ocean. That doesn't seem to be very NPOV to me.
I do not doubt that Australians perceive it as such (I have travelled extensively in Australia), but when you click through to Southern Ocean the article states that this ocean ends at 60° S. Adelaide does not lie between the South Pole and 60° S.
I believe my change was correct, but the article should also state that many Australians do not agree with the fact that Adelaide sits beside the Indian Ocean. WHB 11:34, 16 April 2007 (UTC)
- It's actually more than just a cultural perception. Cartographically, the expanse of water from Australia's southern bounds is still annotated as the Southern Ocean. Indeed, in at least Western Australia and Tasmania (I am unable to confirm for South Australia as yet), this sea area is officially gazetted as the Southern Ocean.--cj | talk 14:10, 17 April 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for your explanation. Shouldn't the article then explain that from the Australian viewpoint Adelaide does border the Southern Ocean, but for (most of) the rest of the world it borders the Indian Ocean? WHB 19:10, 17 April 2007 (UTC)
