Article Name[edit]

I have moved back the article on Orroroo to Orroroo, South Australia. This is in line with the WikiProject guidelines at WP:AUSTPLACES. If any editor wishes to change these guidelines , they will need to raise the issue there, but are unlikely to find much support. The naming convention for Australian towns has been discussed several times and the current consensus is that a standard naming protocol of "Town, State" with "Town" being either a redirect or disambiguation page would be consistent and lead to fewer duplicate articles.--Mattinbgn/^talk 02:29, 28 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

If you're fortunate enough to be able to spell the name properly, you probably know where it is. Besides, there is only one, to my knowledge. This title is like "Tahiti, Pacific Ocean" or "Canada, North America".--MacRusgail 17:09, 28 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I can't disagree with your logic, but as far as Australian towns go, it is a common enough way of referring to a town that it doesn't sound so strange and tautological to Australian ears.--Mattinbgn/^talk 05:25, 29 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Fair enough. Both link here, and I guess it's probably not worth getting too bothered about. All the best - --MacRusgail 12:52, 30 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

This is presently shown in Western Australia, not sure exactly where Orroroo SA is but is definately not in Western Australia near Cape Riche. Sorry cant edit this, had hard enough time getting this far, will leave it to someone who knows where Orroroo actually is.58.163.63.157 (talk) 10:51, 28 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Notable residents[edit]

I have sorted the list by surname and removed "Tom Reddaway, married to Lisa Reddaway. Prominent grain grower who was born in Orroroo and resides in the town." twice. I can find no evidence that Toma and Lisa Reddaway meet the Wikipedia standard for WP:NOTABILITY. B. Medlin and Mannion are doubtful, but I've left them in as there's a chance someone can write their articles. --Scott Davis ^Talk 22:36, 16 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
