Italics
This edit added italics to the words "Toodyay Gentlemen's Club", but I don't believe that italics are appropriate, because they don't meet the criteria listed in WP:ITALICS. Is there a specific MOS reason for the italics? Mitch Ames (talk) 12:52, 18 January 2014 (UTC)

Which year was the building opened
The article says: There's quite a lot of text (including two sentence changes) between "1908" and "the same year" - too much, I think, for good readability. I don't have access to the refs, so I can't verify that "the same year" was actually 1908 (possibly it's not, due to cut/paste error) and just fix it myself. Could someone with access to the refs check that it is 1908, and update the article, eg to "The building was opened ... in August 1908". Mitch Ames (talk) 07:29, 19 January 2014 (UTC)

reply to Mitch Ames re correct referencing to Shire of Toodyay Municipal Inventory
Yes, the PDF file you found on the Shire of Toodyay's website is the same reference. Sorry, I have not cited correctly. Just learning, would appreciate if you could fix up and I shall attempt to correct on other pages I have recently created. Sorry, not quite sure how to correctly respond on talk pages, Elrebe56

That's fine - as long as the information is there, we can always fix/improve the formatting and linking etc. Done, with this edit. You should be able to just copy the entire reference (from the editing page) as it is. Note that all details (in the cite template appear once, but the ref has a name, ie so that for subsequent use you can just insert . (It doesn't matter if the ref is named and you don't use it again.) See WP:NAMEDREFS for details. Mitch Ames (talk) 10:02, 19 January 2014 (UTC)

Talk pages can be edited much the same was as article pages. See WP:TALKPAGE. Looking at what other editors do on the talk pages is usually a good guide for the general conventions. But don't worry too much about learning everything at once - you'll get the hang of it eventually. Mitch Ames (talk) 10:02, 19 January 2014 (UTC)
