Talk:North Ryde, New South Wales

Untitled
According to Parramatta Rail Link, the Epping to Parramatta section has been delayed indefinitely. Has this changed? - Borofkin 23:44, 14 Nov 2004 (UTC)

The macquarie stations are on the Epping to Chatswood part of the line, which is still due to be completed in 2008. 3mta3 03:08, 15 Nov 2004 (UTC)
 * Fair enough. Still doesn't help me get from Parramatta to Macquarie Park. - Borofkin 04:05, 15 Nov 2004 (UTC)

There used to be a limited stop bus service, the "Red Arrow", between Chatswood and Parramatta via North Ryde. This was cancelled with the news of the Parramatta to Chatswood rail link, but of course this was also cancelled. Getting to Parramatta from North Ryde is still a real pain.

Image
I think the image is inappropriate for an encyclopaedia. If no one opposes I will remove in 3 days. Michellecrisp 02:25, 23 July 2007 (UTC)

Attention Michellecrisp

I oppose you removing the photograph of fireworks at North Ryde Commom. It epitomizes the community spirit of North Ryde. It is the major annual community event of North Ryde. It is the perfect image to describe North Ryde. Please refrain from deleting the photograph. (I have no connection with the photographer or the person that placed the image) I have however lived in North Ryde for over 50 years and watched the area grow from the 1950s to what we have here today. Do you live in North Ryde Michellecrisp? Perhaps you are not aware of the community events on North Ryde Common? Please leave the photo alone. Perhaps you could add some more images of North Ryde further down the page. That would be good. sincerely


 * I really like the picture, and it compliments the article well. Pure motion 10:19, 22 October 2007 (UTC)

History
"The Ryde name comes from the town of Ryde on the Isle of Wight, UK. It was adopted by G.M. Pope, who came from Ryde on the Isle of Wight, who settled in the area and opened the 'Ryde Store'. This was in Top Ryde, not in North Ryde. This fact about Top Ryde would be more suitable under "Ryde", not "North Ryde".


 * The History section is divided into three sections. The introduction relates to the origin of the name of the suburb. This is followed by the subheadings Aboriginal Culture and European Settlement.


 * For the origin of the name, North Ryde is derived from Ryde, so the introduction explains the origin of the Ryde name. Just like Bexley North comes from Bexley and Middle Dural comes from Dural.J Bar 22:49, 27 September 2007 (UTC)

I have tried to add my bit to this article, but I withdraw my submissions. If you really want to know about North Ryde go and buy the book from the library. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.213.58.225 (talk) 02:37, 8 July 2008 (UTC)

Parks
I while ago I took the time to add a list of all the parks and nature reserves in North Ryde, some of them are quite beautiful, whilst all of them are essential and priceless for our fresh air and open space, but they were quickly deleted by the wiki-hostillian michellecrisp as not being "noteable" enough. It annoys me to go to others suburbs pages on Wikipedia and see nice listings of all the parks and reserves in their localities, why cant the parks of North Ryde be listed like theirs? They were, but not tolerated for a minute by michellecrisp.


 * Wikipedia is an encyclopedia rather than a collection of lists. If you are able to write a section on parks in encyclopedic format, then there would be no objections by other editors. J Bar (talk) 22:06, 4 November 2009 (UTC)

Thank you J Bar for your response. I was hoping that North Ryde's "listing" of Parks and Reserves could then have clickable links to the various parks and reserves, many of which are noteable and some contain critically endangered flora and fauna.

Other suburbs have lists of parks in their area, which brings them to peoples attention, and subsequent use.

North Ryde has about 30 such parks and reserves.

If someone has such a list of parks of North Ryde, please add them in. As a recent resident of North Ryde I have visited this wiki entry to gain information about the North Ryde area - the idea that someone objects to a listing of recreation areas in North Ryde, under the North Ryde entry, sounds absurd. - 9/4/2011 8:41 AM — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dzam40 (talk • contribs) 22:42, 8 April 2011 (UTC)

Well, I did list all the parks and reserves, as I have seen in many other suburbes Wiki pages, but they were quickly deleted by the wiki-hostillian michellcrisp. I could not be bothered to do it all over again, you will find the list in previous edits quite some time back now. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 220.101.81.78 (talk) 09:12, 19 January 2012 (UTC)
