Talk:Mudgee

Location of Mudgee
The article begins by saying that Mudgee is in eastern NSW. Although that is logical enough in one way if you simply look at a map, most people in NSW would not describe it in that way, so it is potentially confusing. A more usual description would be say that it is in the Central West of NSW, so unless anyone has strong objections I shall change it to reflect that. Ondewelle (talk) 19:15, 24 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Have changed the location in the opening sentence to "the central west of New South Wales". Ondewelle (talk) 12:59, 26 January 2011 (UTC)

No gold found in Mudgee?
The article states "While no gold was found in Mudgee itself" which may not be entirely correct. According to http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/48613193 "Men digging the site for a new hospital at Mudgee have struck gold, only three or four feet below the surface. However, the gold is not plentiful enough to sell at a profit. An old miner made the first strike three weeks ago, and other workers have since found quartz and gold dust." According to Bonzle.com this was known as the Lawson Creek Mine. There was also an underground mine (Derale Gold Mine) which according to Ozexplorer waypoints and Bonzle.com appears to have been located in the vicinity of Duoro St around the Flirtation Hill/Mudgee Showground area. I cannot find any production records relating to this mine and Minview (NSW Trade & Investment Resources & Energy) says it was a vein occurance of size occurance only. According to Ozexplorer waypoints and Bonzle.com two other gold mines were also located on the outskirts of Mudgee. The Gaoi Open Cut Mine (placer occurance size occurance only), which appears to have been located somewhere behind where Bunnings is now situated, and the Lawsons Paddock Open Cut Mine (placer occurance size occurance only) located near the junction of Lawson Creek and the Cudgegong River. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 144.140.149.58 (talk) 23:51, 18 May 2013 (UTC)

Blacklisted Links Found on the Main Page
Cyberbot II has detected that page contains external links that have either been globally or locally blacklisted. Links tend to be blacklisted because they have a history of being spammed, or are highly innappropriate for Wikipedia. This, however, doesn't necessarily mean it's spam, or not a good link. If the link is a good link, you may wish to request whitelisting by going to the request page for whitelisting. If you feel the link being caught by the blacklist is a false positive, or no longer needed on the blacklist, you may request the regex be removed or altered at the blacklist request page. If the link is blacklisted globally and you feel the above applies you may request to whitelist it using the before mentioned request page, or request it's removal, or alteration, at the request page on meta. When requesting whitelisting, be sure to supply the link to be whitelisted and wrap the link in nowiki tags. The whitelisting process can take its time so once a request has been filled out, you may set the invisible parameter on the tag to true. Please be aware that the bot will replace removed tags, and will remove misplaced tags regularly.

Below is a list of links that were found on the main page:

Blackman family
While fixing the blacklisted link, I went looking for references in relation to James/John Blackman. The more references I find the more confused I become about who is who in the Blackman family. There was a James Blackman, who had a numbers of sons including James junior and John (and others), all of whom seem to have been pioneers in the district. A number of sources are unclear which Blackman is being talked about and some seem to attribute various claims to different family members. If anyone knows Mudgee history, I'd welcome input on who's who! Kerry (talk) 02:25, 9 December 2013 (UTC)
