Edits 30/12/2010[edit]

I removed the boundaries info primarily because suburb boundaries occasionally change. In particular, though, I found that the boundaries as described for Richmond were a little inaccurate and mightn't be described with both accuracy and readability.
For the sake of specificity, I tagged the history section for references rather than the whole article. I also note some variations between the history described in the article and as cited here.
The Residents/Demographics section has been adjusted for the sake of brevity. I think some basic details may be sufficient. The reader can seek further information from the cited source.
The transport section has been structured to provide greater clarity. I am not sure whether to keep route numbers in highlighted text boxes. Personally, I think it is at best unneccessary and at worst a hindrance to readability, but I welcome discussion or correction.
I abbreviated the West Adelaide Football Club info to emphasise the geographic nature of the article. Information about the club's history would be best placed in West Adelaide Football Club.
I removed the Politics section for three reasons:
- We need to find a way to discuss the political nature and structures of and in the suburb without overtly repeating information already mentioned in the infobox.
- I note the tabled election results "are from the largest polling station in Richmond — which is located at Tenison Woods Catholic School, on Brooker Terrace". Is there any source more reflective of the entire suburb? What about those residents who voted elsewhere?
- More importantly, though, how come the 2010 State Election Results cite a source retrieved in 2008 and dated 2006!? What the...?? And why does the 2007 Federal Election Results cite a source for a different federal division??
- Okay, a fourth reason: The information may need to be updated.
The coordinates have been moved to the bottom of the page to ease readability of the first paragraph.

Assessment comment[edit]

The comment(s) below were originally left at Talk:Richmond, South Australia/Comments, and are posted here for posterity. Following several discussions in past years, these subpages are now deprecated. The comments may be irrelevant or outdated; if so, please feel free to remove this section.

^{[dubious – discuss]} The last paragraph on the page which claims " In 2008 Richmond was voted as Adelaide's most liveable suburb.." is not verified with a citation.

The suburb may very well have been listed as livable, but until it can be verified, I've simply tagged the offending section as a way to advise the reader of the status of the claim. It also serves as a filler for the Community section until further details are added.--~ ~ : Lincoln Cooper : ~ ~ (talk) 14:11, 30 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
