Hello, I'm Magnolia677. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, Sydney Olympic Park, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so. You can have a look at the tutorial on citing sources. If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Magnolia677 (talk) 16:35, 24 May 2020 (UTC)

I reverted your edit to Greater Western Sydney. I checked many of the names and sources you added to support your long addition to the notable people list, and none mentioned "Greater Western Sydney". Several of the names appear to be from locations within Greater Western Sydney. For example, Laura Dundovic is from Sydney; Michael Clarke (cricketer) is from Liverpool, New South Wales (where he is already listed as a notable person). Please find the most specific location when adding names. Thank you. Magnolia677 (talk) 15:36, 8 June 2020 (UTC)
- Hi. There's been a misunderstanding here. "Within Greater Western Sydney" is in Western Sydney. Liverpool and Blacktown ARE in Western Sydney. To compromise, I will not include names without a source (I believe the list is important addition to the large and wholesome article). The sources don't need to mention "Greater Western Sydney" because the suburbs written there ARE IN WESTERN SYDNEY. Think of it this way: These suburbs to Western Sydney is like Glendale and Burbank to the San Fernando Valley. I hope you understand. Cheers. – 203.221.127.71, 04:28, 9 June 2020 (UTC), 9 June 2020
- Your example demonstrates the point I am trying to make: Glendale, California and Burbank, California are both smaller communities, and both have a notable people section, while the larger communities to which they belong, San Fernando Valley, Los Angeles County, California, Los Angeles metropolitan area, and Greater Los Angeles, do not have a notable people section. When you copy content from one article and past into another it creates a content fork, where similar content is duplicated on multiple articles. There is even a duplication template to tag content copied in this way. Content should be placed into the most appropriate article (or summarized on a main article then detailed in a child article). This means someone from Liverpool, New South Wales should be placed into the notable people section on that article. If everyone listed in all of the notable people sections, for all of the places in Greater Western Sydney, were copied and pasted into a notable people section at Greater Western Sydney, it would be a very long list and would be removed because of WP:WEIGHT. Why don't you just create a stand-alone list called "People from Greater Western Sydney"? Magnolia677 (talk) 10:45, 9 June 2020 (UTC)
- Fair enough and the article being too big is understandable. Do you mean I should create an article called "people from Western Sydney" that lists notable people from the region? – 203.221.127.71, 11:42, 9 June 2020 (UTC), 9 June 2020
