In case anybody is wondering, I removed the section about the "three smaller localities of Glen Waverley" (Syndal, Tally Ho, and Wheelers Hill), because Syndal is technically a locality of Mount Waverley, not Glen Waverley, Wheelers Hill is a suburb, not a locality at all, and Tally Ho is too insignificant to merit a mention, particularly on its own. - Vaelor 06:55, 10 January 2006 (UTC)Reply

Agree, agree, disagree. Glen Waverley isn't that big, Tally Ho seems relevant for this article. If the article were 20 pages long and you were looking to trim, then fair enough. But it's barely a stub - why chop? Stevage 07:05, 10 January 2006 (UTC)Reply
Not looking to chop as such, more didn't know how to better phrase "Glen Waverley contains, erm, well at least one smaller locality, namely, Tally Ho!". Seemed an awkward sentence once Syndal and Wheelers Hill were removed from the equasion. If you can come up with an intelligent way to mention Tally Ho in the article, please do - it's only that I couldn't! =) - Vaelor 07:13, 10 January 2006 (UTC)Reply
Don't make life hard for yourself. "There is a business park in Glen Waverley called Tally Ho". It's fairly significant, I don't have a list of companies housed there though. Stevage 22:46, 11 January 2006 (UTC)Reply

Redundant copied content needed twice?

edit

Erm, the section in this article about The Glen is almost quite literally word for word identical to the Centro The Glen article itself. Seems a little redundant to me. Should not one or the other be removed, possibly based on whether or not The Glen is noteworthy enough for its own article (if so, chop the repetition out of this article, and if not, delete the independant The Glen article)...? Thoughts anybody? - Vaelor 08:39, 29 January 2007 (UTC)Reply

About the mention of The Glen, no-one calls it The Glen Centro, or Centro The Glen who isn't the receptionist at the Glen making announcements of sales with her annoyingly happy voice. Centro are also in control of other shopping centres near-by, eg, Brandon Park, and have failed to force people to call it Centro Brandon Park or vice-versa. It is NOT informally called that. It has only been called by Centro itself, not by the shoppers. BlackSlivers 01:54, 21 May 2007 (UTC)Reply
"Centro The Glen" sounds like a robot from a B-grade scifi. Orderinchaos 05:34, 21 May 2007 (UTC)Reply

Mount View Primary School

edit

Not sure Mount View Primary School was established in 1975, since I was in Prep there in 1974! Cannot find much info about the school's history to correct this. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Eddicat (talkcontribs) 08:53, 21 March 2010 (UTC)Reply

Map error

edit

Where Glen Waverley is labeled on the Melbourne metropolitan map is wrong, it should be labeled further south near the Monash freeway, where it is currently labeled is actually Vermont south or forest hill or something like that. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 121.214.12.139 (talk) 06:56, 7 April 2014 (UTC)Reply

Notable People

edit

A lot of people mentioned here are actually connected to Mount Waverley, a neighbouring but separate suburb, not Glen Waverley at all. Several of them have no mention of GW in their Wikipedia biographies. And some like Gary Sobers don't seem to have any connection at all and their inclusion may be the result of a prank or vandalism. I reckon it needs a clean up by someone who knows what they're doing. 49.184.182.44 (talk) 13:29, 19 August 2019 (UTC)Reply
