I think this article is very good. But some aspects are not so good, because they are unclear. Maybe I have misunderstood something, because I can´t English very good.

Feel free to make suggestions about what you think is not very good. --Alexxx1 ^{(talk/contribs)} 01:00, 31 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I think more should be added to Sydney in the 20th century. I'm sure something's happened here since the opening of the Harbour Bridge. EG: attacks by the Japanese in world war II, construction of Sydney Opera House, the Olympics...

Actually, I think this article is pretty bad. We jump from 1850 to 1832 and then from 1832 to 2000 with nothing in between - that's 150 years of history with one event listed! Is there a project Sydney that can help fix this up? Triki-wiki 02:39, 5 May 2006 (UTC)Triki-wiki[reply]

On that note, I've started improving the article a bit, beginning with the gold rush. I'll add more info over the weekend if I get a chance.

Criticizing is an easy think but rectifying it aint... why dont you complete it ( the guy whoz criticizing) ... I think da article was great Good job mann...Keep it Up thanks for ur help and information[reply]

Criticizing is easy when there are few good refs. If you weren't alive in 1788, then you must quote the people who were. Facts based on what your grade 3 teacher told you in 1962 are not of interest, unless you're a journalist or politician. The name Sydney seems to be well established just a few years after 1788. 'Port Jackson' seems to have been around earlier. Can we have some definitive refs here. Manning-Clarke or Blainey would be good.203.219.71.247 (talk) — Preceding undated comment added 09:03, 9 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Aboriginal history

I'm happy to add more on Aboriginal history of Sydney, so that its a bit more of a clear prelude. Ultimately there should be a separate page on the pre-European period, as the topic is mainly establishment of the town onwards.60.242.50.195 21:09, 30 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Timeline of Sydney

Revisions

Hello all

I have made substantial revisions to several sections of this article. I have tried to focus on the history of Sydney rather than New South Wales and Australia which is well covered by other articles. I have removed some information which is unsourced or poorly sourced, and replaced it with sourced information based on recent scholarship. I have cut some excessive detail and images which are well covered in linked articles. I have created new headings and sub-headings which better reflect the reworked material. Happy to discuss.
