Something's wrong with the Openstreet map. It shows the Atlantic ocean instead of the city.PAper GOL (talk) 15:57, 28 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Why not use proper census data and revert back to 2021. The population is woefully underestimated. 1.157.21.148 (talk) 12:03, 5 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Going through the random orphaned pages link, I found an article about an artist from Canberra. I've also noticed that several articles about towns or cities often have sections about notable people whom were born or lived there. The article about Canberra doesn't, and even if it did, I would not be able to edit it seen as it is a semi-protected page and I have not made enough edits to contribute to semi-protected pages yet. Could someone fix this? Bradicalguy (talk) 03:53, 15 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This article does not have a list of notable people and it would be deleted if anybody tried to create it in order to preserve its FA rating. Even it existed, thousands of people would qualify ahead of Chris Walrus Dalzell. The Dalzell article was lucky to survive a deletion nomination.--Grahame (talk) 07:19, 15 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
