... Mary MacKillop definitely qualifies as both of her parents were Scottish immigrants.--MacRusgail (talk) 16:09, 18 October 2010 (UTC)

Australia does not have hyphenated identities

As an Australian (whose name is McIlwain, yet not a Scottish Australian thanks) I resent this Americanisation of our identities. Suggest that this is an artificial, Wikipedia-invented narrative. DMC (talk) 02:33, 21 May 2011 (UTC)

As per Wikipedia:WikiProject Demographics of Australia/Booian Australian importance more than 100,000 Australian residents declared their place of birth on the 2006 Australian census as being Scotland hence its rating as Demographics-importance = top --Matilda talk 21:39, 2 June 2008 (UTC)

Orphaned references in Scottish Australians

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Scottish Australians's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Reference named "ReferenceB":

• From Culture of Australia: Geoffrey Blainey; A Very Short History of the World; Penguin Books; 2004; ISBN 978-0-14-300559-9
• From Anglo-Celtic Australians: MAIN BIRTHPLACES OF OVERSEAS BORN POPULATION 1986 CENSUS OF POPULATION AND HOUSING (Page: 7)
• From Australian comedy: http://australia.gov.au/about-australia/australian-story/austn-comedy
• From History of Australia: Tim Flannery; The Explorers; Text Publishing 1998
• From Brisbane: "Brisbane Regional Office". Climate statistics for Australian locations. Bureau of Meteorology. Retrieved 15 January 2017.
• From Tony Abbott: "Rudd puts ETS on backburner". Australia: ABC News. 27 April 2010. Retrieved 5 June 2010.
• From Australian Bureau of Statistics: "1005.0 – ABS Corporate Plan, 2015–19". Abs.gov.au. Retrieved 2 August 2016.

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT⚡ 16:31, 13 November 2019 (UTC)

Can I add James Overy to the list of Scottish Australians

I’m trying to fix his article’s orphan situation 27.96.223.193 (talk) 07:11, 26 October 2024 (UTC)

I wouldn't given James Overy's limited notability and remote connection (it's not a great list in its current mixed focus). Where he does belong is at Manchester United F.C. Under-21s and Academy, but be warned that his article might not survive as an article (xref the MU article's bluelinks vs blacklinks, and WP:NSPORTS) ^~Hydronium^~Hydroxide^~(Talk)~ 07:53, 26 October 2024 (UTC)

I do currently have a request there just ti make sure he belongs in one of the squad lists because I don’t wanna accidentally vandalise it. 27.96.223.193 (talk) 08:02, 26 October 2024 (UTC)

But thank you anyway mate, much appreciated. 27.96.223.193 (talk) 08:02, 26 October 2024 (UTC)
