A fact from this article was featured on Wikipedia's Main Page in the On this day section on March 4, 2018, March 4, 2022, and March 4, 2023.

Missing heading

This article needs a lot of work. It should begin with a factual account, then go on to discuss views of the rising. Also, lots of spelling and grammatical errors need fixing. JQ 23:50, 8 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Agree further work needs to be done. A useful source, in addition to refs already there is http://www.quadrant.org.au/php/article_view.php?article_id=584 --A Y Arktos\^talk 01:17, 19 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Agree. And might be good to sort out the location of each of the theatres of the conflict, the Castle Hill governemnt farm, constitution hill in parra, and the place somewhere along the road to Windsor where the final battle occured. They're currently mixed up in one paragraph at the bottom there, and gives the impression that the final battle was the modern day Castle Hill Heritage Park, which is incorrect. —Preceding unsigned comment added by AnthonyCassidy (talk • contribs) 03:37, 16 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Successful?

In what sense was Vinegar Hill a success? I'm deleting the word. I hope it still makes sense.

Citation Needed

In the first paragraph, there is a citation needed since Feb 2007. I will research the alleged fact of possibly 120 people killed, but further along it states 15 killed from the fighting. Expect this potentially incorrect fact sorted by tomorrow! --Macr237 (talk) 11:16, 8 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Gday 119.12.13.156 I see you have made several constructive edits to this article. Could you please make reference to what source you are using for all this. If you need some help with this, you are welcome to ask questions on my talk page. CamV8 (talk) 08:17, 10 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Removal of new content on Vinegar Hill

I reverted the 31 Aug 08 revision because it seemed to have multiple issues (pushing some strongly anti-English view, irrelevant information, poor spelling) and thought that the chance of having useful information (e.g. the change in number from 230->430 and the bit of info about what happened after) was put in doubt without references. 124.170.36.94 (talk) 21:14, 19 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Editing introduction to the entry

I have made some necessary changes to the body of the text to remove errors and upgrade the content.

The beginning section of the article - that is the summary part - does not have an 'edit' function.

How do I gain entry to edit it? Have searched the FAQs but found nothing. ~~~~
