This article makes a lot of references in the text to legitimate academic sources (such as the ANU demographers Borrie, MacDonald, Hugo, Price etc). It needs to be properly referenced to actual texts. Also the sections need to be broken up into subsections.--Grahamec 03:22, 13 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

• This stuff really worries me. It has been around for a long time - it was added in April 2006 as a single slab of text. It has been tagged for references for ages and nothing has happened. I am proposing to remove the bulk and only leave in what I can find references myself, quickly and easily. The user (Adrianobonc (talk · contribs) has never returned to wikipedia after his one day of editing A Google search shows he apparently holds a PhD and has written a book published by Barnes and Noble in 2002 - The World Is Just Like a Village : Globalization and Transnationalism of Italian Migrants from Tuscany in Western Australia.--Matilda ^talk 06:25, 22 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • A potentially suseful source for citations is at http://www.italianlives.arts.uwa.edu.au/__data/page/2786/Italians_in_Australia_bibliography.pdf - it is from this I found the Pesman ref Matilda ^talk 06:31, 22 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • I am slowly working to insert the refs first. Then I will consider removal of unsourced and unsourcable (easily) material. Matilda ^talk 07:08, 22 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
