This article would benefit immensely from a photo of the ubiquitous logo. Surely someone out there has both a digital camera and a book/postage stamp/coffee cup/whatever with the logo on it. (The logo wouldn't be public domain yet, but it would definitely be fair use on this article) Hesperian 13:16, 25 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Done, thanks. Hesperian 03:28, 26 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]From memory, it was more widely known as WAY '79. —Moondyne 02:31, 4 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
The Swan River Colony is here described as "the first permanent European settlement in Western Australia". While you're in a good mood ;) I might ask what has disqualified Lockyer's King George Sound (1826) from that distinction. It was first, it was a European settlement and it's still there.

I've got the 'who's who' book with this logo on it from 1979. Might be good for a few stubs :) Casliber (talk · contribs) 12:57, 21 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I am seeking advice on the section here listing the titles of the WAY 79 publications by UWA Press, where each of the titles where there was an editor has (ed) after the editor's name italicized. I have sought, so far in vain, for style guidance on this, but it seems to me that italicization may be redundant. I am happy to be wrong, though! (I have just added another title which was missing from the list, and so far did not italicize the two editors, but of course do not object to correcting that if style requires it).

{{cite book|editor}} (or the appropriate variant) instead of {{cite book|author}}, and let the template handle the formatting. Mitch Ames (talk) 00:34, 19 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]It seems there may be one more title to be added to the list of books in this series. There was certainly one missing, Enid Russell's work on the history of the law in WA, and I have added that now; but the page mentions 14 titles and there are still only 13. I will track this down as soon as I can identify a source, but maybe someone else knows off-hand where they can easily find this. By the way, Russell's work is fascinating in that it was an unpublished manuscript from 30 years earlier which had lain unpublished since her early death, and was rescued, edited and completed for inclusion in the series. Forty years later it still seems to be the main monograph on the subject. Ishel99 (talk) 22:33, 18 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Just wondering if this list should be sorted in alphabetical order by author, or any other characteristic? At the moment, it seems to be sorted randomly (so I just added Russell at the end). If alphabetical by author makes sense, I am happy to do the work. Ishel99 (talk) 22:33, 18 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
