Talk:Budj Bim

Merger proposal

I propose that Budj Bim be merged into Mount Eccles. Budji Bim is an Australian Aboriginal word for the mountain. In VICNAMES, there is no listing of the name Budji Bim. I think that the content in the Budji Bim article can easily be explained in the context of Mount Eccles and also Mount Eccles National Park, and that both these articles are of a reasonable size that the merging of Budji Bim will not cause any problems as far as article size or undue weight is concerned.

Article split

As this article is designed to cover the actual mountain, its geological characteristics and cultural significance, I have started creating Budj Bim heritage areas to cover the various designated heritage areas in the vicinity. Each is separate; some include the National Park and mountain, but I think that these are better dealt with in an article with a different focus. Please feel free to contribute to the new article. It is my intention to remove the extraneous (duplicated) content from the Budj Bim article, and change the redirects once the new article is complete, or at least adequate. Probably time to add a DAB page for Budj Bim too. Laterthanyouthink (talk) 03:26, 1 February 2020 (UTC)

I don't mind if the article is split. I added the WH Listing on this page when it was approved by UNESCO last year as there was no other suitable article to place the listing. As long as there is sufficient material to cover both pages it should be fine. Bookscale (talk) 13:04, 6 February 2020 (UTC)

Okay, thanks, Bookscale. After multiple distractions I am going to try to complete what I can over the coming day or so. I may need some help with the infoboxes (what to put in each - I'm not overly familiar with the types used here), so would appreciate it if you could look them over at some point.

Update (for Bookscale and anyone else interested). I have now created the BB heritage areas article, ended up with a new one for Lake Condah Mission as well, and tidied the this one and the National Park one (and a few incidentals along the way). I couldn't decide whether those heritage areas should be in the infobox for this article as well as the heritage areas one (and what about the National Park?). The BB heritage areas that in the coming few days or week. Laterthanyouthink (talk) 07:59, 13 February 2020 (UTC)

The new articles look great - thanks for all your work. Bookscale (talk) 11:46, 14 February 2020 (UTC)

Oops, I'm not sure what happened to my last sentence above... Must have deleted the middle before publishing in error! I think something along the lines of: "I haven't completed the heritage areas one yet, and hope to work on it in the coming few months days"! Thanks, Bookscale, but hopefully even better soon! Laterthanyouthink (talk) 11:56, 14 February 2020 (UTC)

Bookscale, after a few diversions, I finally got back to the BB heritage areas article, for the umpteenth time, and have finished up, for this round anyway (after a lot of time and energy spent just trying to sort out the various naming of and responsibilities for individual pieces of land!). If and when you have time, I'd appreciate a second pair of eyes on it to tidy up any glaring errors, or comment on the readability of the layout (specifically the sequence of sections), or whatever. JarrahTree, do you have any time or interest in having a look at that one too? Oh yes, and the infobox(es). I haven't spent a lot of time on the new one - will have another look later but others' expertise in this area is always welcome! Laterthanyouthink (talk) 03:27, 21 March 2020 (UTC)
