August 2005[edit]

I have no problems with merging as long as we don′t lose the information shown on Springwood. Particularly the comments on its place in the natural surrounds. I was the person who contributed much of this information Mike Purtell

The purpose of a merge is to capture the best of both articles. I'd do it myself at some stage, but it might be a day or two before I get round to it. This is the right name for the merged article. I agree that he other article has most of the useful information. --ScottDavis | Talk 06:43, 4 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

"about halfway up the Blue Mountains"[edit]

I think this should maybe by changed from "Springwood is a town about halfway up the Blue Mountains" to "Springwood is a town in the lower Blue Mountains", depending on what others think. I will therefore not alter the article until I have some feedback. Which sounds better? Which is most accurate? Tinkstar1985 05:54, 27 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

References![edit]

This page needs a references section. Tinkstar1985 01:43, 5 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I have made a references section, however this article still contains copious amounts of unsourced information, much of which seems to have an agenda behind it: often using emotive/opinionated language. There is no "unfortunately" in fact. Facts are, "things are the way they are", not "it is good that things are the way they are", nor "it is unfortunate things are the way they are".

A few things missing[edit]

I'm disappointed at the lack of reference to the Royal or Oriental Hotel both of which have a fairly large historical significance, the former being established in 1881 and the latter in 1876. There is also no reference to the fact that Sir Henry Parkes, the first Prime Minister of Australia was a resident of Springwood. If the local churches are relevant than surely these details are as well. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 115.70.91.247 (talk) 03:52, 21 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I agree. The list of every church seems over the top when there is much more missing. I'll try and add-in some details. M0z (talk) 22:19, 20 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Do we start by moving the churches to an Historical Places (sub)heading ? Dave Rave (talk) 06:46, 22 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Photo Reference[edit]

Was the photo of Springwood Station (in the ″Commercial″ section) really taken in 1884? George963 au (talk) 00:51, 17 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
