Is Geelong really that confusingly similar to Keelung? The names don't seem that similar to me. TPK 12:35, 12 Jun 2004 (UTC)
Is it worth adding a media section to the geelong page, there are three major newspaper groups producing over 6 different papers and 4 radio stations as well as a cable tv/net company that is not available in Melbourne. Geelong has bid goverment for their own tv station but its proximity to Melbourne prohibits that. Several Geelong groups have produced content for Melbourne's comunity TV station Ch31
This article could really do with a lot of work. The Infobox needs replacing with the Australia-wide one, it could do with more images, the structure is...odd, and the history section is wretched. Anyone interested in giving this some time? Ambi 03:50, 16 December 2005 (UTC)
Are the temperatures right? Are summer nights really colder (on average) than winter nights? -- Scott Davis Talk 14:46, 14 April 2006 (UTC)
Restored with new numbers from the Bureau of Meteorology. -- Scott Davis Talk 09:58, 16 April 2006 (UTC)
"Geelong is the largest regional city in the state of Victoria, Australia." Wouldnt it just be easier to say it's Victoria's second largest city? It would be a lot less misleading too.
"Melbourne newspapers, The Age and The Herald Sun are readily available." This line cracks me up. Should we also include the ready availability of milk and bread, but that Rolls Royces are a bit hard to find?

G'day,
Why is it that when I add a link to [1] in the external link section it get's removed all the time?
Surely, News and Weather for the Geelong region is relevant? ((unsigned|59.167.65.240}}
The result of the debate was don't move. — Nightst a llion (?) 07:10, 26 May 2006 (UTC)
Is the initial G pronounced as in ‘gyroscope’ or as in ‘gift’? David Arthur 23:09, 4 July 2007 (UTC)
Usually people say Jillong, facetiously GGeeeeeeelong. Emphasis is on first syllable, typically. The pronunciation in the AFL anthem "We are Geelong" is definitive. Greglocock 00:42, 5 July 2007 (UTC)
