I have created links between te notes and references using the Template:Sfn and note that there are currently two references, Evans and Buckridge which do not have any details of book etc provided.

The article was created by the Wikipedia:GLAM/State Library of Queensland/First World War Wikipedian in Residence, but there doesn't appear to be any particular project link to be used. I have included the link here for reference and note there is also list of articles created. Find bruce (talk) 10:03, 30 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I noticed when fiddling with Australian plebiscite, 1917 (which links to this article) that it may not be obvious to the reader (particularly the non-Australian reader) that the printing office in question belonged to the Queensland Government not the Australian Government, so I think it would make a better title. As an aside, unless I am particularly trying to make some point about the nature of the Federation of Australia, I tend to avoid using the terms "State Government", "Federal Government", "Commonwealth Government" and "the Commonwealth" as I think non-Australian readers may find it confusing. I favour explicit terminology like "Queensland Government" and "Australian Government". Kerry (talk) 23:11, 11 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Yep, good idea. Can't be the only government printing office to get raided. The Drover's Wife (talk) 23:35, 11 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
It clarifies the title, especially in the context of a contest between governments. As it appears non-controversial after 3 months I have renamed it. Find bruce (talk) 04:33, 16 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
