InfoBox[edit]

In the statistics box on the RHS, it is stated that Bruny Island is 362,100 km squared. At most it would be 360 km squared. Perhaps all of Tasmania is 362,100 km squared. Could someone please edit - wikipedia does not appear that user friendly. Thanks. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 58.105.152.19 (talk) 12:46, 16 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for pointing this out - this has been fixed. 1manfern (talk) 02:35, 17 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Questionable Content[edit]

The picture with the island location is wrong. It is at the South East of Tasmania, not at the NorthWest —Preceding unsigned comment added by 130.88.80.149 (talk) 13:53, 24 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]


Albino Bennett's Wallaby (Macropus rufogriseus rufogriseus) on Bruny Island

I have removed the following content: "Bruny Island also boasts the only breeding colony of the rare Bennetts White Wallaby information and tours are available from The White Wallaby Cafe and Visitor Information and wireless hotspot Centre you can also collect free maps and brochures about the Island, and available accommodation here."

The information about the Bruny Island having the only breeding colony of the Bennetts White Wallaby is questionable at this stage as it unreferenced. [is not a publisher of original thought] and consequently, everything must be referenced. I have had a look around Tasmania Parks and Wildlife Services and Tas Government sites and could not find anything to support the information. The Tas PWS information on the Bennetts White Wallaby explained that they are found throughout Tasmania (not just Bruny Island) and did not mention any exclusive breeding colony on Bruny Island.

The rest of the content is visitor information which does not belong on Wikipedia, see What Wikipedia is not. This information is written as a travel guide and would be more appropriate on travel guides such as Wikitravel.

Agree completely with these changes. I've just removed the linkspam once again.. -- Chuq (talk) 13:42, 21 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
This article is fast heading towards becoming an edit war. I encourage all editors to discuss this disputed content here before editing the article with this content. I have included the link proposed by Quoll50's revisions as it does provide valuable visitor information, and there are only a handful of links on the page all having valuable visitor information. Any thoughts? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 1manfern (talk • contribs) 04:26, 25 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
As a regular visitor to Bruny Island I can personally confirm that there has been a population of white wallabies there for at least the last 12 years or so. I am not aware of any such population off the island. Obviously the link spam has to go, but the information should stay.<ref>[http://south-pacific-travels.com/tasmania_what_to_do.htm South Pacific Travel Specialists - What to do in Tasmania]</ref> is a relatively weak reference supporting the fact.

I agree. Well-written, referenced material should be added without question. The reference you've provided offers a good start. I'm guessing that some of the links in the "External Links" section of the page would probably also serve as references. The white wallaby seem to be a part of the island's landscape and as such should be part of the article. 1manfern (talk) 11:52, 7 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
