[edit]As far as I am aware (reference: Telefunken Zeitung project report), Telefunken/Germany supplied and built most of the station (mast and transmitter). — Preceding unsigned comment added by 210.49.196.186 (talk) 03:50, 27 January 2021 (UTC)
Yagan Mia - meaning
[edit]This edit by Bahnfrend says that "Yagan Mia" means "home of the long-necked turtle", but the references cited in Wireless Hill Park § Aboriginal heritage say it comes from the name of the Noongar man Yagan, and "mia" meaning "camping place". Are there any sources that might help resolve the discrepancy? I note (at the risk of WP:SYN) that there are separate sources [1][2] that say "yaagan" (note the spelling) is a turtle.

- circular self defeating way of understanding the problem - online sources consulted are nowhere near what can assist the reader, and the simplest human politeness would have been to have asked the editor. JarrahTree 10:47, 26 October 2024 (UTC)
- Clearly the sources vary, and I'm more inclined to accept the turtle theory than the warrior vantage point theory. I've now further edited the article to clarify the point. Bahnfrend (talk) 03:33, 27 October 2024 (UTC)

- I did look there, but I didn't even need 2 minutes to find WP:CIRC, which says "Do not use articles from Wikipedia (... or Wikipedias in other languages) as sources".
- None of the online references cited by wp/nys mention "Yagan/Yaagan Mia", and it will take me a bit more than 2 minutes to drive out to Yagan Memorial Park, City of Swan, to check the mural myself, on the off chance that it mentions "Yagan/Yaggan Mia" - I don't have to search at all to know what WP:SYN says.
