This article reads like a cross between a real-estate advertisement, a tourism brochure and a polictical lobbyist's briefing paper. This definitely needs to be more encyclopaedic. Martyvis 07:58, 9 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

For user AYArktos: Oh yes, High Range, NSW does indeed exist--I think I've even been there--or been through it--hard to know, 'cause if you blink, you miss these places.... My question was just why you were singling out High Range rather than the score of larger towns and villages which composed or can be/are sometimes considered to be part of the Southern Highlands.

Now, is getting High Range "a mention" justification enough to include that not-terribly-significant hamlet (with apologies to its residents; I'm not saying it's not worthy) in this article? I'm not sure. What are Wikipedia's guidelines on this? I don't know and I won't quibble.

This might be a good point of departure--should we add a list of Southern Highlands towns? Or just the most significant ones (in which case, I'm afraid High Range wouldn't make the cut). I might point out that since forced amalgamations, there's some confusion as to what, exactly, constitutes the Southern Highlands.

I was not the editor who added High Range. Removing the reference from this article seemed a bit excessive, toning down the mention seemed a better option, hence I reverted the removal of a reference to a verified place. I have not been through it or heard of it, hence my desire to verify that it wasn't a hoax, particulalry given the tone of its article.

A list of Southern Highlands towns would perhaps be good in order to add some structure, the prose is perhaps getting a bit out of hand.--A Y Arktos 20:17, 10 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia guidelines are verifiability: Wikipedia:Verifiability, no more, no less.--A Y Arktos 20:19, 10 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I have removed the Ourpatch link from the article per the style guideline here:

• the link does not provide a unique resource;
• it is arguably promotional, and designed to attract viewers to aprticualr busiensses or advertising; and
• it doesn't reference or provide any particualr information relevant to the content of the article.

As always, differences of opinion are welcome. If you think the link shoul;dstay, let's develop a consensus here one way or the other. Euryalus (talk) 06:51, 9 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

This should be a parent category of Category:Towns of the Southern Highlands NSW, not a child category of it. Robin Patterson (talk) 04:24, 19 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It should be Southern Highlands, New South Wales, not Southern Highlands (New South Wales) --121.216.40.20 (talk) 10:03, 9 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

No it shouldn't. -- Mattinbgn (talk) 19:53, 9 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Can you please explain why it shouldn't please? I'm not on anyone's side, just curious. --138.130.112.179 (talk) 06:39, 11 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
