coat of arms pic?[edit]

With regard to the discussion on the Adelaide talk page (here), probably the city of Adelaide article could include the coat of arms: http://www.adelaidecitycouncil.com/archives/images/adelaide_city_coat_of_arms.jpg. What do you think? — Donama 06:04, 22 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Sounds good to me. I'm currently writing the City of Adelaide Pipe Band article, and they use the coat of arms on several of their items of uniform. It would be nice to have an image uploaded to wiki :) I also note that a coat of arms is present on the City of Melbourne article. --gummAY 13:21, 17 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The following infomation has been lost in the transition, and will need to be converted to the document prose:

Article title[edit]

Shouldn't this article be at Adelaide City Council, with a redirect from City of Adelaide, and not the other way around. I don't think the ACC calls itself the CoA anymore.--AtD 13:50, 26 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Adelaide City Council is the governing body of the local government area of the City of Adelaide. Our convention with regards to local government areas is to locate them at their official names. See here and here for relevant reading.--cj | talk 15:24, 27 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
It seems odd that the sister city links of this 'City of Adelaide' page are cities with populations in the millions and not local councils. I would think that those cities would be sisters in regards to Greater Adelaide not a local council. Thejoebloggsblog (talk) 11:15, 5 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
What can I say?
Independent of what you might think, and what you might think is logical, the fact is that they are sisters of the 'City of Adelaide'.

Fair use rationale for Image:AdelaideCC.jpg[edit]

Image:AdelaideCC.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

"Unexplained" population rise 2005-2006[edit]

Although I have no evidence that this is exactly the case, there have been many recent apartment developments (particularly on the Eastern Side of the city, although there are no doubt some significant blocks elsewhere too) that would have considerably boosted the potential city population. Given that there was a plan to have the population at 17,000 by 2006, I think it is entirely likely that these were timed to be complete before that time, and entirely feasible that by this time the population and indeed reached 17,000 by this time. As I am not an expert in this area (and wouldn't know where to begin to look), I leave it to someone else to confirm or deny this thought. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 118.210.255.33 (talk) 10:30, 1 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Merger Proposal[edit]

I propose that Flag of Adelaide be merged into the City of Adelaide's Flag section. I think that the content in the Flag of Adelaide article can easily be explained in the context of the City of Adelaide's Flag section, and the City of Adelaide article is of a reasonable size that the merging of the Flag of Adelaide into it will not cause any problems as far as article size or undue weight is concerned. 1.127.48.123 (talk) 15:36, 3 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Merger discussion for City of Adelaide#Flag[edit]

An article that you have been involved in editing—City of Adelaide#Flag—has been proposed for merging with another article. If you are interested, please participate in the merger discussion. Thank you. 1.127.48.123 (talk) 15:36, 3 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Only popularly elected mayor in Australia in 1911?[edit]

According to Public Domain Chisholm, Hugh, ed. (1911). "Adelaide (City)". Encyclopædia Britannica (11th ed.). Cambridge University Press. Adelaide was the only Australian city in 1911 to have a popularly elected mayor. Who reckons this might possibly be true? If yes, ought a note be added to this article?
