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)[reply]

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)[reply]

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

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)[reply]
