	== Brisbane as part of the Asia-Pacific ==

	{{ping\|Caltraser55}} I have again reverted your edits in relation to Brisbane's role in the Asia Pacific. As I have previously discussed, does describe the current state of affairs but what the Qld Govt would like them to be. Now does your asserting something without citation make it rue. Futhermore, the bulk of the article (of which the lede paragraphs are supposed to be summarising) says relatively little about Brisbane's role in the Asia Pacific. Can I suggest that instead of dumping largely uncited claims in the lede paragraphs, you focus on adding suitably-cited content on Brisbane's role in the Asia Pacific in other sections of the article. Those claims should be factual ones. For example, you say Brisbane Airport is the largest in Australia. Again this is a little bit misleading. The citation you provide says Brisbane Airport is the largest in land area, you should be clear about the metric that you are making a claim about, and I don't think land area size greatly contributes to your hypothesis that Brisbane Airport contributes to Brisbane being an Asia-Pacific hub. Gather some statistics about flights to/from Asia/Pacific (number of fligts, number of destinationsto the various Australian airports, number of passengers, etc) how does Brisbane stand in relation to other Australian airports in that regard? Then you might have a claim to make about the Airport. Similarly you assert that QIMR and TRI are of global importance. On what basis do you say that? Work on improving the factual content of the article, wrt Asia/Pacific and then it may be more obvious what claims might be made in the lede paras. Thanks ] (]) 07:44, 21 October 2018 (UTC)

Update the map to better focus on the main part of Brisbane, and use a more visually friendly map without random green patches and a lot fewer suburb names

Actually I'm pretty sure I coined the term Brisvegas in 1997

It's pretty simple actually. I was at a party/dinner/gathering of friends and friends of friends. We were talking about southeast Queensland now having two casinos, one in the Gold Coast - Jupiter's Casino and the new on in Brisbane - The Treasury. I was lamenting the fact that we should now probably rename the city Brisvegas. Everyone laughed but there were a couple there who had the opportunity to spread the term to a wider audience because they were breakfast radio hosts on a very popular radio station. After their success in Brisbane, they went to Perth to host there. I assume the term was spread across Australia within the space of a few years. Their initials are T and Z, but yeah I coined the term Brisvegas, cool huh? Cjreal (talk) 08:30, 26 October 2017 (UTC)

Historical Population

An historical population table needs to be added to the article. Can someone put this on the to do list? Thanks PANewman (talk) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 172.78.66.126 (talk) 17:32, 2 April 2018 (UTC)

Nevermind, I put it on the list myself. Feel free to delete the item if I'm mistaken. Thanks. PANewman (talk) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 172.78.66.126 (talk) 17:34, 2 April 2018 (UTC)

Traditional name

I've added the traditional name for Brisbane in the Yagerra language, however there is no pronunciation guide. This would probably need an expert! I've just used the two pronunciations given on the State Library website. It may make sense to include this in the info box too. Maxxisti (talk) 04:45, 30 May 2018 (UTC)
