The introduction states that the 2001 census has the population of the Melbourne CC at 46,000, yet the info box on the right has it for the 2001 census at 60,745. Which is correct? Mdgr 03:19, 6 December 2006 (UTC)
Why do the lists (for example the school lists) include institutions not in the city of Melbourne...am I missing something about this?
Could somebody from Oz put something in the History section to explain how and why the local elected officials were twice replaced for a while by appointed commissioners? The city's own page [1] is damned coy about how and why the State did this. -- Orange Mike 19:28, 18 July 2007 (UTC)
The logo was recently replaced on this page to the black and white version, seen here. If you take a look at the website, as well as many other sources, the current logo is the coloured, cyan version, as seen to the right. If an SVG version is wanted, the black and white one should at least be coloured correctly. Cheers, Chicken-7 talk 21:39, 16 March 2010 (UTC)

Editors here may be interested in this multiple RM that I have initiated. My preamble:
These articles are all concerned with street names in Melbourne. (I would have include another 17, but the template has a limit of 30.) I do not support these moves; but I know that some very active editors do. It is time to air the matter, once and for all. Is it better to have an article on Collins Street in Melbourne called simply Collins Street, or to have it called Collins Street, Melbourne as at present? Which option serves the needs of Wikipedia's worldwide readership better? In almost all cases that I list there is no content in the destination article, just a redirect. And in almost all cases there is no Wikipedia article that very closely resembles the Melbourne-oriented one. There are, for example, no other Collins Streets with their own articles.
Your vote ("Support" or "Oppose") would be welcome, along with your reasons.

Article is briefly restricted to autoconfirmed editors to pause a series of edits from a WP:COI account. Apologies for the inconvenience, the protection will expire in due course or can be lifted if the cityofmelbcomms team start following the instructions at WP:PSCOI and come here to discuss their proposed changes rather than making them directly in the article.
In the mean time if there's other edits anyone would like to make and can't, please let me know via the edit request function, or by posting here or on my talk page. -- Euryalus ( talk) 01:17, 28 July 2020 (UTC)
Hi, thanks so much for taking the time to explain. That all makes complete sense. I appreciate it.
I'll wait to see if comments are left here and then go from there.
Just to make sure I'm understanding correctly, would you then make the update? Or is it done by someone else?
Thanks again. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.26.235.14 ( talk) 06:44, 28 July 2020 (UTC)
Hi, thanks for your help. I have read the conflict of interest guide. I have now registered an account. Declaration of COI: I’m an employee of City of Melbourne and the information on the Wiki page is out of date and incorrect. Updates will be factual only and in line with City of Melbourne website. The update is to the section titled 'Composition of current Council'. It is to add in the date of the upcoming election and update the list of Councillors. The list is out of date and includes the names of people no longer elected to government. These changes are on our official website at https://www.melbourne.vic.gov.au/Pages/home.aspx
This edit request by an editor with a conflict of interest has now been answered. |
I would like to replace the current text under 'Composition of current Council' with:
The City of Melbourne is an unsubdivided municipality consisting of a directly elected Lord Mayor and Deputy Lord Mayor, and nine councillors. Since 2008, all Victorian councillors serve a four year term. The next general election will be held on Saturday 24 October 2020.
During a general election, the City of Melbourne holds two simultaneous elections – one to elect the Lord Mayor and Deputy Lord Mayor (leadership team) and the other to elect the nine councillors. All residents are entitled to vote in the election, as well as up to two of each of the following: non-residential owners and occupiers of rateable property. If a corporation solely owns or occupies rateable property in the municipality, then the corporation must appoint two company officers (director and/or company secretary, or equivalent) to represent it and vote on its behalf.
Further information can be found at the following link https://www.melbourne.vic.gov.au/about-council/governance-transparency/elections/Pages/about-council-elections.aspx
The current makeup of the Council is:
Sally Capp - Lord Mayor Arron Wood - Deputy Mayor Nicolas Frances Gilley Philip Le Liu Rohan Leppert Kevin Louey Cathy Oke Beverley Pinder-Mortimer Nicholas Reece Susan Riley Jackie Watts — Preceding unsigned comment added by Emmuldoon ( talk • contribs) 02:14, 30 July 2020 (UTC)

Hi thank you for updating the list of Councillors. Much appreciated. There's a problem with the middle column of the table titled 'Party'. It lists some Councillors as 'Team Doyle' and 'Team Morgan'. This information was not there in the last approved update. It is incorrect as these parties do not exist anymore. On the City of Melbourne website, only their names are listed. Can this middle column please be removed or at least the references to 'Team Doyle' and 'Team Morgan'. Thanks heaps.
Hi, the link I provided shows each councilor. They do not have party affiliations. That's all I have, sorry. Team Doyle is an outdated party from when Mayor Doyle was in power. He is no longer part of City of Melbourne council since 2018. (This is confirmed under the table by a sentence created by a wiki admin). Same with Team Morgan. It's incorrect information. Could it please be removed? It wasn't there is the last approved update, so I am not sure where it's come from. It seems to have been added in but I'm not sure how. If it's not possible to remove the column, can these parts that have been added in be removed? I just want the page to be up to date in case anyone goes to it before the election in October. It's important every voter sees accurate, neutral information. Thanks for your help. Emmuldoon ( talk) 03:01, 19 August 2020 (UTC)
