OK, any plans for a format-- ZayZayEM 23:45, 14 Nov 2004 (UTC)
The map looks odd. I don't know why - any ideas? -- Chuq 07:18, 16 Nov 2004 (UTC)
Yeah I made it myself. A scale could be handy. I'll try to re-do it within the next week! -- Chuq 02:57, 19 Nov 2004 (UTC)
Two of the photos have no copyright info. This would make getting featured article status difficult. Martyman 05:16, 17 Nov 2004 (UTC)
I quite like the historic photo of Port Arthur at it's height available here does anyone actually understand how copyright works? Are we freely allowed to download and use this image because it is from the 1860s? Martyman 02:27, 19 Nov 2004 (UTC)
There are some more historic photos available here. [2], [3], [4], etc. Might be worth contacting the State Library of Tasmania about re-using them. Martyman 06:15, 19 Nov 2004 (UTC)
I am going to break the article up into headings, if anyone feels it should be done differently feel free to revert my changes. Martyman 00:42, 19 Nov 2004 (UTC)
Some tales suggest that prisoners committed murder (an offence punishable by death)...
Is this right? Sounds rather odd! -- Chuq 02:55, 19 Nov 2004 (UTC)
In 1833 whilst diging the foundations of the church, convict Reily swung a pick axe into another convict (Suttleworth). It is belived this may have been a suicide pact. one covict murdered, one hanged. Ghostieguide 15:10, 3 January 2006 (UTC)
I was under the understanding that External Links and References should be seperate sections. "References" for any material that was used in the creation of the article, and "External Links" for further reading that may not have actually been used in the production of the article. Martyman 05:57, 19 Nov 2004 (UTC)
I think a small reference shoudl be made to the resultant Howard ban on self-loaders. and also mention the towns resultant kinship with Dunblane.-- ZayZayEM 13:58, 19 Nov 2004 (UTC)
I have removed the reference to Martin Bryant. He does not belong in this article. I have also removed the reference to John Howard. The implemented gun-controls were widely accepted, and of little political significance. If you disagree, please discuss.-- Grinning Idiot 16:04, 7 May 2007 (UTC)
Once again the article protection police force is on patrol. Bryant belongs in the page about the shooting - not in the Port Arthur page itself. You should not be able to shoot your way into history. And I repeat, the name of the PM that changed the gun laws IS NOT RELEVANT! Please discuss if you disagree!-- Grinning Idiot 16:20, 8 May 2007 (UTC)
If he's noteworthy enough to warrant an article, he's noteworthy enough to mention here. Whether one should or should not "be able to shoot your way into history" doesn't change the fact that one can and, in his case, did. Dropped the name back into the article. MrZaius talk 20:56, 9 May 2007 (UTC)
I removed his name again today, it does not belong on the page describing the location - if people want to know about the massacre event, they can navigate to that page. Notice there is no photo of Breivik on that page. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 123.2.143.195 ( talk) 11:43, 13 June 2015 (UTC)
The article currently says this: It contains one of the best examples of a working panopticon based on that at Pentonville prison in London
However, the entries on both Pentonville and panopticon make explicit notes that Pentonville was not in fact a panopticon. -- 142.166.3.82 16:41, 19 February 2007 (UTC)
It is wrong to refer to Port Arthur as "Australia's largest penal colony". This implies that Australia has penal colonies. It doesn't.
New South Wales was a British penal colony. New South Wales was the Britain's largest penal colony in Australia, stretching all the way from Cape York to Wilson's Promontory. Tasmania was also a British penal colony.
Port Arthur was a prison settlement within the colony of Tasmania.
