Adding placename to Sydney article
Hi Fishanddip,

I appreciate your effort towards including an Aboriginal placename on Wikipedia, I've been working hard on doing this myself.

I reverted your edit only because there isn't enough evidence that Warrang is widely used by the Aboriginal community to refer to all of Sydney. I actually talked to an Aboriginal man working on a local map and they were confused by what I was asking, saying that there wasn't one name that you could apply to Sydney. Of course, there is a lot of different opinions on that within the Aboriginal community. At the moment it appears that, in the case of Sydney there isn't a widely used name like Naarm is used for Melbourne. In fact, most people only give Acknowledgement to the Gadigal People of the Eora Nation (because they're usually meeting in the CBD) but there's a lot of different nations in Greater Sydney that complicate things.

If you would like to continue helping on this issue though, there is currently a debate forming around the inclusion of Indigenous names on the rest of Wikipedia and not just on the Australian Wikipedia. Your contribution would be helpful. Poketama (talk) 15:11, 1 May 2023 (UTC)


 * I've tried to include the name Warrang in the introduction, I hope that's helpful! A fun one I've heard from quite a few Aboriginal people is that the Eora and Dharug people are not different and that the Eora are just eastern Dharugs who don't know otherwise. With claims like that, you can see how hard it can be to figure some questions like placenames out sometimes. Poketama (talk) 15:18, 1 May 2023 (UTC)
 * hey Poketama, i appreciate how kind your response was. I should have checked the talk page beforehand, i saw it and was stressing all night about it.I will absolutely look into the debate, thanks :) 2001:8003:E869:BC00:668E:4957:E6C2:234A (talk) 20:12, 1 May 2023 (UTC)
 * You don't need to worry so much, its fine to make well-meaning edits. Unfortunately, alot of the 'debate' is just from malicious conservatives, many who don't even live in Australia. So you don't really have to worry about what's in the talk pages too much. Thanks for your contributions! Poketama (talk) 09:51, 2 May 2023 (UTC)
