Change the name

The article name should be change to Constitution of New South Wales, Constitution Act 1902 doesn't make sense unless you read the article

Citing References

Given the article is a piece of Australian Legislation, is AGLC4 the most appropriate method of referencing sources? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Studentofacademia (talkcontribs) 06:36, 29 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Studentofacademia: welcome to wikipedia. The answer is sort of - inspired by is probably closer. If you look at the Manual of Style/Legal in the section Australia it expressly refers to Australian Guide to Legal Citation. Being an online encyclopedia though means aspects, such as repeated footnotes, have little relevance & so you are trying to meld the wikipedia style with the guide. The easiest way to cite Australian legislation is using AustLII & the template:cite Legislation AU & for cases template:cite AustLII. An example of using cite AustLII is {{cite AustLII|HCA|3|1931|litigants=Attorney-General (NSW) v Trethowan |link=Attorney-General (New South Wales) v Trethowan |parallelcite=[http://www.austlii.edu.au/au/cases/cth/HCA/1931/3.pdf (1931) 44 CLR 394] |courtname=[[High Court of Australia|High Court]]}} which shows as Attorney-General (New South Wales) v Trethowan [1931] HCA 3, (1931) 44 CLR 394, High Court. The only reference in this article uses a different form, but as its a stub, that can change and anyone who has the time to expand it should use a consistent form. Let me know if you have a specific question. --Find bruce (talk) 10:09, 29 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
