I'm just the messenger :-)
I've had some people write back offlist who are interested to work with the
curators on improving the quality of the articles (irrespective of national
pride :-) ) so we'll see how that pans out.

Liam if you had of looked at the history and talk page of the CSIRO, you
would find that there has been disputes over WiFi due to US editors wanting
to be US centric. It isn't going to change while you have editors who
object to the fact. Not a simple issue of adding the content.

Hi all,
I've been informed by the National Museum of Australia that they're
really interested in helping to make sure that the important
Australian connection to the history of Wireless LAN [1] and IEEE
802.11 [2] is covered - because currently it's not mentioned at all.
There's a little bit in Wifi#History [3] and also a section at
Commonwealth_Scientific_and_**Industrial_Research_**
Organisation#802.11_patent
[4] but I'm not sure that's sufficient. Basically, I reckon that the
WLAN and 802.11 articles seem to be overly US-centric.
Please advise if you'd like me to put you in touch with a relevant
person at the NMA to help gather sources, but for a start here's their
collection highlight record about CSIRO's contribution to the
development of WLAN see:
