Seriously, can't anyone clean this messy article up? Why are there random capital letters in words, wrongly spelt words, and even a bloody exclamation mark?

Is this statement serious? "Thunderstorms occurred nearly daily until 27 February 2007" That's not meteorologically possible. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 124.176.114.73 ( talk) 22:35, 22 June 2010 (UTC)
I am not much in favour of removing content from the wikipedia but really question whether this subject is encyclopaedic or notable. Wouldn't it have been better reported at wikinews? Someone says excitedly on the radio that there are trees down in Commonwealth Park and in the suburb of Curtin - yes but there are even more trees left standing. It is very sad a man was hit by a falling tree - but not necessarily a notable event, either meteorogically or otherwise. Similarly the small plane crash - these things happen - this was the third Piper Chieften to crash this year in Australia.-- A Y Arktos 19:07, 4 December 2005 (UTC)
I have linked the article to List of disasters in Australia by death toll which now seems to be a pretty comprehensive list.
I really like the map in this article. Could you produce something similar for Canberra_bushfires_of_2003? Perhaps the intensity of the fires could be illustrated by a gradation of colour based on damage?-- A Y Arktos 19:15, 5 December 2005 (UTC)
what a stupid article for wikipedia. get rid of this at once. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 60.242.111.198 ( talk • contribs) 10 June 2007
I've added a section to Queensland about the severe storms that hit Brisbane starting on the 16th. Being here is the source of most of my first hand knowledge, however I tried to include sources for any specific facts used. If someone wants to clean it up, that would be great! —Preceding unsigned comment added by Gentoo user ( talk • contribs) 13:58, 20 November 2008 (UTC)
I did a bit of a cleanup, added citations (and fixed some dead links), added a bit of extra infos here and there, and updated/verified old infos. Oh, and I reordered ACT because it was all over the place - so in line with article format, earliest to latest events. Still working on the article, but it's starting to get late now, and this was not exactly where I had planned to go with my day either. So far I've worked extensively on ACT and QLD - with a little bit of work on NSW. Any help on the article would be gratefully accepted. In addition, I'm not sure that I'm doing the citations correctly - for example when I have to link to the same website/article twice or more - so if anyone feels compelled to check please go ahead. Australian Capital Territory "Two hundred houses were damaged by a severe storm in 2001." (Removed this while I'm still trying to find ANY reference to it - If someone can link to a citation for this storm then feel free to return the sentance to the article - it should be placed before the ACT Feb 2007 supercell) Mite look to referencing this storm instead at the same place in the article: Event - Storms: South east Australia 27 Oct 2004 -- PoizonMyst ( talk) 13:09, 30 December 2010 (UTC)
This article has turned into a glorified list. Shouldn't we also have some context such as what conditions and other hows and whys that lead to their formation in Australia? How about a comparison of the severity with other large countries? Statements about annual economic loss, insurance and climate change should probably be included. Alternately we could omit that from this page and instead use Climate of Australia. - Shiftchange ( talk) 22:52, 11 March 2015 (UTC)
There are no sections for either South Australia or Tasmania. Both states have had a fair share of storms over the years. 58.166.244.49 ( talk) 11:14, 23 January 2016 (UTC)
If anyone is interested in the cause of the severe storms:
Curiously no problem with cyclones, which I assume must be classified as rain or wind. Kerry ( talk) 06:59, 24 January 2016 (UTC)

Is there any reason this isn’t listed? It was one of the biggest and most catastrophic storms in Queensland history Allyjj ( talk) 13:55, 15 October 2019 (UTC)
In the western Australian section where it talks of deaths. It refers to “white and coloured men” can this be changed? Drugs dont work ( talk) 15:42, 28 September 2021 (UTC)
