Talk:Garden Island (New South Wales)

Untitled
I don't think it is true that Fleet Base East is known as 'HMAS Kuttabul'. That there is a HMAS Kuttabul in Fleet Base East is no denying. However, where I were a sailor, the ship always docked at "Oil Wharf, Garden Island" or somesuch, not HMAS Kuttabul. HMAS Kuttabul was a shore posting, accomodation for sailors who worked at the base or somewhere nearby (Aust. Theatre HQ, Fleet HQ, or Defence Recruiting Centre in the city, for example). And still to this day, the entrance to the base down at Woolloomooloo is marked as 'Fleet Base East' and if you go up the road to Potts Point you will find 'HMAS Kuttabul'. The Island itself (including the dry dock) is mostly owned and operated by a private defence contractor, Australian Defence Industries, nowadays.

I think you're absolutely right. In fact, Fleet Base East is a variety of separate facilities including the dockyards, the wharves, Kuttabul and HMAS Waterhen. I'm doing a slow re-write of the separate pages for each facility to clean them up and remove confusion and I'm going to tie them into an overarching page for 'Fleet Base East'. To this end I'm going to reduce the reference to HMAS Kuttabul on this Garden Island page as it simply duplicates a lot of what is already on the separate Kuttabul page and just confuses the issue.

List of 'Heritage Items'
There is a long list of Garden Island heritage items in this article. It seems to have been created with direct HTML rather than using the normal Wikipedia list capabilities. It is not ordered in any way, which breaches the Manual of Style for lists. Does this list belong here at all? Is it relevant to a Wikipedia article? Is it the sort of information that really belongs elsewhere? If yes, should I delete it? If no, how should it be ordered and where in the article should it be placed? I feel like it currently just takes up a lot of space without adding much value. Thoughts and help please! Stuart midgley (talk) 15:25, 1 November 2014 (UTC)

Update to Proposed future usage
Judging by the references this section was written around 2013. I added an update needed tag because the information appears to have had no updates since then! 95.145.86.26 (talk) 21:56, 18 February 2023 (UTC)
