I'm rather dissattisfied with this article as it stands. The only link to it is from the disambiguation page Arthur's Seat. Is there a category for Suburbs of Victoria? Having never been there, I don't know if this is a significant area or non-notable. Advice from an Australian apprieciated. Anyhow, I have added a stub message and listed on pages needing attention. At the very least making links to surrounding areas instead of just directions would be a good idea. SkArcher 20:41, 27 Jun 2004 (UTC)

Involved Groups

I Understand there are users involved in the dispute currently involving the chairlift development who are involved in editing this page. Could i please encourage you create a page for your group "Save Arthurs Seat" and then link to here. This is a suggestion to avoid any more disruptive edits that involve mass removal of relevant references. Mjw1990 (talk) 12:06, 21 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Expanding to surrounding suburbs

Have been tying to create a more honest representation of the page. This has had much to establish what history is actually applicable to this page and not getting confused with McCrae or Dromana. Would suggest we attempt to work on the surrounding areas that can be linked through here. Mjw1990 (talk) 12:08, 21 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Arthurs vs Arthur's

I propose that this page be moved to "Arthurs Seat, Victoria" (without the apostrophe)

"An apostrophe should be deleted from place names written with a final `s’, or the possessive `s’ should not be included in the first instance. For example, Wilsons Promontory (not Wilson’s Promontory)."

Split

At the moment the article seems to be about the town, the state park, and the hill. Perhaps we could move all the geological info, the chairlift dramas etc to Arthurs Seat State Park.

I disagree - the suburb article is not substantial enough to require splitting - that is why we have headings. Id note too that the redirect to which the above links was only created today. Orderinchaos 10:52, 19 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Er, yes, I created it :) I agree there's not a huge amount of text, but having three distinct topics in one is a bit messy. It's awkward with categories having a single article be in a "state parks" category and in a "towns" category for instance - clearly a state park is not a town, and vice versa. But anyway it's not a pressing issue. Stevage 02:00, 21 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The area is a popular local tourist site and deserves wiki coverage. Probably needs some more reference to the extensive gardens and walking trails. Against splitting. Titus Vespasian (talk) 08:03, 13 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

No consensus for split. SilkTork *YES! 00:03, 23 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
