Talk:Toodyay Court House

Copyio concerns
Some of the History section looks like a direct copy paste and/or close paraphrase of the Municipal Inventory and Heritage List. It needs rewriting.

(Some of the re-arrangement of the words has changed the meaning - eg "Many of the records which were stored in the building during the ensuing years were destroyed" vs "Many of the records which had been stored in the building were lost in the ensuing years". The former implies the records were stored in the building after it was vacated; the latter implies that the records were stored in the building before it was vacated, and only lost after.)

Ref for demolition in 1931?
This edit adds a 1933 reference for "Surrounding buildings associated with the convict depot also declined, the old warders' quarters were demolished around 1931". Is the reference this Trove item? It says "The old military barracks — one of the relics of convict days— are to be demolished" - but this article is dated 1933, not 1931. Mitch Ames (talk) 14:54, 12 April 2014 (UTC)

Name
What would people think about moving this to Toodyay Court House or Former Toodyay Court House, or even Toodyay Court House (former)? The present name is not very clear and is State Register-speak. The Drover&#39;s Wife (talk) 13:26, 2 July 2014 (UTC)

State Heritage register
Per my recent addition, the 2-ha archaeological site under and around the building was recently added to the heritage listing. However it's not clear to me what the significance is of this sentence that was already in the article:

or whether that sentence should stay. The ref is a dead link, and the current heritage list entry does not mention 2003.

If anyone is interested, this article is probably about the 2010 excavation, and Sean Winter is probably the person responsible, but I haven't found a reference that directly links them. Mitch Ames (talk) 13:33, 2 July 2014 (UTC)


 * The documentation for the June 2014 interim listing (linked from the Inherit page you linked above) says: "In 2003 a preliminary review for the Court House was considered by the Register Committee when it was resolved that the place was unlikely to meet the threshold for the State Register and a full assessment was not required.".

removal of reference
hi, i have just removed the following reference:, as it does not talk of the courthouse, see here, a search of WA newspapers in that month does not have anything relevant either (see here). i have left a message with Wikipedia talk:WikiTown/Toodyaypedia.

 * The reason being is that the source refers to Newcastle not Toodyay see Naming of Toodyay for the detail. Gnangarra 09:15, 28 December 2018 (UTC)
