A few issues with accuracy

• 2007/2008 were not cancelled or postponed, IIRC the 9.00 fireworks were cancelled 2001-2002 due to high winds. I was at Luna Park on 2007-08 NYE and there was hardly any wind at all.
• 'Eternity' and the smily face were done in the same year, look at this picture.
• Not really accuracy, but what people remember most about the disco ball is how the wind blew smoke in front of the bridge and it could not be seen.

I think its dumb that this article is so messy and inaccurate when how many millions can easily contradict you? - Katana Geldar 00:41, 5 July 2008 (UTC)

2008 photos

I have uploaded a few photos of Sydney Harbour fireworks for 2008. They are not the best but they are usable I guess. They are in category Sydney on Commons. Adam (talk) 03:53, 2 January 2009 (UTC) File:Sydney harbour fireworks new years eve 2008.JPG

2000

If anyone wants a link of 2000 here it is. --  Punk Boi 8  talk  19:55, 5 February 2009 (UTC)

Sydney NYE fireworks themes

The first dates for the Sydney Harbour Bridges themes are incorrect. The smiley face first appeared on December 31, 1997 (NOT 98). There was no image on the bridge in Dec 98, just a wave of rockets fireworks. Then in Dec 1999 Eternity appeared. Your list is correct from then on.

2010-2011 Link broken.

Hi so we're all aware that the link for "Main article: Sydney New Year's Eve 2010–11" redirects to the same page that holds the link, right? Wæng (talk) 00:18, 3 January 2011 (UTC)

Hey Wæng, I think its cause nobody has created an article page for that year yet. Hmm, perhaps I might go do it in a minute... AnimatedZebra (talk) 07:56, 20 March 2011 (UTC)

The page now exists, sorry for not responding for some time. AnimatedZebra (talk) 09:51, 10 September 2011 (UTC)

Sydney New Year's Eve Fireworks

1: Does the official name for the event have the word "Harbour" in it? I am led to believe that its simply "Sydney New Year's Eve Fireworks".

2: Regarding the articles for each year, should we simply title them as say "Sydney NYE Fireworks 2010-11" (or whatever year it is), since we already know the name of the event as they are sub-articles of the main one and it would look better having a shorter name for better viewing.

What do we think peoples?

AnimatedZebra (talk) 07:40, 20 March 2011 (UTC)

Regarding my post, the name of the event is actually Sydney New Year's Eve with no "Harbour" or "Fireworks" in the title. Also, I no longer belive that the yearly articles should be renamed. AnimatedZebra (talk) 18:29, 20 September 2011 (UTC)

Budget,Cost,Money

This article appears to have NO references to the money spent, where the money comes from, budgetary issues, insurance, costs of police presence, damage to private and public property, social costs, etc. etc. Maybe people believe money is something that just appears out of the sky, like magic? Taxpayers pay or private enterprise contribute, but somebody pays for these things. Wikipedia, a magic kingdom where money is somebody elses problem.
