I'm a little concerned with the cultural section and I'm thinking that I'm going to remove it if sources aren't forthcoming soon. It had various mistakes and I rather suspect that at least some of it it is based on someone's recollection rather than any verifiable sources, as required under policy. First of all, the pyjama girl movie's name had errors in it and the the description of the film as a "an odd forensic tinged tale of love and betrayal" struck me as being rather strange. I've never heard of "forensic tinged tale" and I looked it up on Wikipedia, Google and dictionary.com but couldn't find any references to that genre or to define what it means. In any case, the film, "La ragazza dal pigiama giallo" (that's the correct name and the English name, according to IMDb, was "The Girl in the Yellow Pajamas" or "The Pyjama Girl Case") was based on the

Also, I removed the sentence: "Early works of the cemetery grounds by famed Australian landscape artist Pamela Griffiths have also recently come to light". This is hard to address without sounding rude, but I'm having trouble finding a "famed" Australian landscape artist by the name "Pamela Griffiths". I did find an artist by the name Pamela Griffith (without the "s") and I had a look at her website but if she is the artist being referred to, we need a reference supporting the sentence. I Googled "Pamela Griffith" and "Waverley Cemetery" and I found the NGA's website has a painting by her of Waverley Cemetery here but I'm still not at all comfortable with that sentence - we need a reference preferably confirming her "famed" status, but also to support the contention that her paintings of the cemetery recently "came to light". We also need a source for the sentence about Lawson. I shall continue looking and will also check Factiva for reports mentioning the cemetery, but we need some verifiable sources or the section will have to go. Sarah 16:27, 26 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

• I'm also iffy on the whole section. However, if it helps, while I have no references connecting Pamela Griffith to the cemetery, I do have enough to suggest that the "famed" (or at least "respected" - "famed" seems a tad POV) claim is reasonable. I should also add that I did come across Tom Carment, who has been an eight-time finalist of the Archibalds and winner of the Mosman, and who features the cemetery in some of his works - at least according to the SMH.

Unless someone knows something that the police don't, there's no way that the monument in South Head Cemetary could be the grave of Juanita Nielsen. Her body has never been found. Thus, I'm amending it to read "memorial" rather than "grave" Reynardo (talk) 03:38, 30 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
