Guideline for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples terminology Be conscious of the unique, diverse and distinct identities of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and understand the use of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples is as a collective name. Collective names used to describe Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples:
Although "Indigenous Australians" is in common use, and is used to encompass both Aboriginal people and Torres Strait Islander people, many First Nations Australians feel the term diminishes their identity and should be avoided; however, where the word "Indigenous" forms part of an acronym to describe entities, organisations, or government departments the use is acceptable. When used, the words Indigenous, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander, First Nations, First Peoples, and First Australians are capitalised. Note: Never use the collective name "Indigenous and Torres Strait Islander" peoples as it misrepresents the identity of Torres Strait Islander peoples as not being the original inhabitants of islands in the Torres Strait. Self-identifying terms:
This is not an exhaustive list Language that can be discriminatory or offensive and should be avoided:
This is not an exhaustive list Note: It is acceptable to use abbreviations in your communications when they form part of an acronym, a web address or an organisation (e.g. AIATSIS, NAIDOC, www.atsi.org.au). Using an acronym or abbreviation to describe a race of people can be offensive and discriminatory. For further information, please refer to: Terminology can change over time and, where possible, it is best practice to find out what the preferred term is from the respective Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander group or individual you are referring to. For further guidance, please see the Australian Government Style Guide |

- The first film contains a very well illustrated „short history“ since 1860. It is usefull for all readers, not only the young ones.Fr23456 (talk) 18:19, 30 November 2023 (UTC)
- I have placed a welcome with links to useful articles on the wikipedia project on your talk page. Please take some time to read these. Of special interest might be the guidelines around what constitutes a reliable source. This will give you an idea why there are no TV documentaries listed here - or in most other articles.

Chronological order of settlements
editThe establishment of the colonial settlements in the article should reflect their historical chronological order, so Queensland should follow Tasmania, Western Australia next, Victoria, and finally South Australia. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 125.63.186.170 (talk) 00:06, 11 January 2024 (UTC)
First World War: Emden
editI just restarted on Wikipedia with a new account so I am not able to edit this article yet. Just FYI: The German battleship Emden mentioned and linked at the beginning of the chapter about the First World War was built in the early 1920s and therefore cannot be the "Emden" the article wants to refer to. 172.58.109.207 (talk) 09:49, 13 January 2024 (UTC)
- I've fixed the link, thankyou.Nickm57 (talk) 10:07, 13 January 2024 (UTC)
Indigenous prehistory
editHello all
I have summarised the content and moved some excessive detail to the article Prehistory of Australia. I have rationalised the citations concentrating on scholarly works by experts in the field. The result is a significant reduction in word count which is consistent with the need to reduce the length of the article which is excessive by the standard outlined in policy.
