This page was created by User:PDH, who left Wikipedia in 2011. The page has only one source for the name, and another source on smallpox, not specific to the CadigalThe Cadigal were just one clan, of 50-100 people, of the Eora. We know nothing of them that does not apply to the Eora generally. In fact we have no description of Cadigal specifics. There is thus no raison d'etre for an independent page, and this should be merged 8effectively means deleting) with the mother page.Nishidani (talk) 14:27, 11 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
The reference section of this page is confusing as it is unclear why there are separate "citations" and "sources" sections when they appear to be the same. I am going to attempt to merge them so it is neater and easier to link the information with the source. MalB404 Ⓐ 🏴 (talk) 19:43, 15 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I was just wondering why the inconsistency in page title and spelling throughout most of the article. This source, as cited by the article, gives "Gadigal", and that is the only spelling I'm familiar with from afar. GadigalGuy, do you know anything about this? I see that this organisation has chosen "Cadigal", but I think that one way or another the article needs to settle on one spelling, justified by citations and reasons, and keep it consistent throughout the article. Also, from my reading of it, it is not clear whether all Gadigal people are/were Dharug-speakers, or all Dharug-speakers were Gadigal. And the structure needs improvement per WP:LEADFOLLOWSBODY - there is detail about the history in the lead which is not included in the History section.

Hello all
A couple of editors have had a disagreement over whether the Gadigal should be considered as belonging to the Eora or Darug people. I have changed it back to Eora (with citations) because that is what the majority of reliable sources I have seen state. No source was cited when this was changed to Darug last year. It is also consistent with the article on Sydney. An alternative would be simply omit the phrase "on Eora/Darug country."

Hello all
I have removed the following passage:
"On 5 December 2020 at the international rugby union match between Australia and Argentina in Sydney, a version of the Australian national anthem was sung first in the Dharug language by Wiradjuri woman Olivia Fox and the Australian Wallabies, followed by the English version. However, this was against Cultural Protocols as no Dharug Elders or Community were consulted or authorised the sharing of their language with a non-Dharug singer. This was the first time the anthem had been sung in an Indigenous language at a Wallabies match."
This game was played at BankWest Stadium in Parramatta and therefore has nothing to do with Gadigal country. Aemilius Adolphin (talk) 23:02, 4 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Hello all
I have slightly reworded the text here to make it clear that it was the Eora who lost about 50 per cent of their numbers and the Gadigal people were the worst affected. I have removed the Crump source as it is very dated (1914!) and didn't support the content except on the uncontested point that there was a smallpox epidemic in 1789 that killed many Aboriginal people.
