Here are my wiki article ideas. I may decide to proceed with a project or scrap it all together. Some article ideas may be personal wiki challenges, while others will welcome input from other wikipedians, however all article ideas can be discussed here. The format of this section is not formal, but rather brain-storming, bulleted notes, and drafting of articles.

Australian republic referendum, 1999
Wikipedians are invited to help expand on this project idea. Discussion.

For re-addition to the main article: Australian republic referendum, 1999

Removed from section entitled Preamble question, just prior to the heading Results was the following text:

--

This question was particularly important since the Constitution was never approved by the majority of the Australian people. In the original constitutional referenda of 1899-1900 no more than 15.9% have voted (based on the assumption of one vote per person, but since the number of votes allowed per person depended on his land holdings the actual number of voters was likely to be significantly lower). The assertion that the Constitution represents the will of the Australian people was therefore demonstrably false, leading to allegations of illegitimacy of the Australian Government and statutory law created under the Constitution. The preamble question was an attempt to put an end to this growing controversy through a democratically legitimate referendum, asking the people to endorse the Australian Constitution by accepting the phrase:We the Australian people commit ourselves to this Constitution. --

Notes/todo:
 * Reason for removal - "Questionable section removed. Happy to discuss if anyone thinks it should go back" - by User:Robert Brockway
 * However, if correct, this is extremely important information that should be included in the article, and possibly other related articles, such as - Constitution of Australia, Australian Constitutional Convention 1998, Australian constitutional law, Constitutional history of Australia
 * Search the above listed articles (and others - there is a complete template here) for any info relating to the deleted text.
 * Is removal of the section correct as it may be classed Original Research or even Fringe Theory?
 * Is it possible to find reliable source references for this removed text?
 * Is the stated 1899-1900 voter turnout percentage of 15.9% correct? Yes? No? Correct info and cite refs.
 * Is there any reliable source for allegations of illegitimacy of the Australian Commonwealth Govt, the Constitution, and Laws created since 1900 Federation?
 * Is there a reliable source to state that the inclusion of the Pre-Amble Question "was an attempt to put an end to this growing controversy through a democratically legitimate referendum." and to have a majority vote of the Australian people accept the Constituition by a vote of 'Yes' - note: we voted 'No'.
