Inclusion?

[edit]

Why indigenous australians refers to both aboriginal and torres strait islanders in general? I dont have any idea torres strait islander is such little population but significant australians. 2404:8000:1027:D5FD:CCA9:4FA5:4C8D:A8A2 (talk) 01:34, 22 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Please be on the lookout for a user such as the above with Indonesian IPs making disruptive edits to do with Torres Strait Islanders on Wikipedia. This question has been answered before for them, so I'm ignoring it. Poketama (talk) 01:41, 24 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Removing c from black

[edit]

I hit Enter too quickly on [5] so the summary is not complete.

What I meant to say is that [6] is still WP:SYN, because:

  • Neither reference says that Deacon used the phrase "black cunt" (being shouted at her while growing up). We might all "know" what the ref means, but it is still SYN.
  • In Munro 2020, Deacon does not say that the phrase was shouted at her, only "Growing up, I always heard the words ... from white people" (which could have been shouted at other people), and "It's still common [ie now, not when I was growing up] ... being shouted at us."

Flag

[edit]

Re this edit ...

I'm not sure that is a good idea to have the Aboriginal Flag only, because Indigenous Australians includes Torres Strait Islanders, who have a different flag. {{Infobox ethnic group}} does not appear to support two flags. Should we have no flag instead of only one? Can we make a single image with both flags to put there (subject to copyright rules, because the Torres Strait Islander flag image is non-free).

Oral tradition

[edit]

Indigenous Australian literature and the literature section of this page is missing information on oral traditions. Some sources below, I'd be very happy to help out.

Why this has no connection with Indigenous North America, and it is all too common for those from the region to use terms that are historically depreciated and offensive. Gnangarra 06:27, 6 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
