Untitled[edit]

It is good to see an article on Phillip Blashki at last appearing on Wikipedia. He and his wife Hannah had significant input into the founding of so many organizations in early Australia.Phillip had amazing foresight for a man of his time and his unexpected landing in Australia in 1858 was a fortuitous turn of fate. During Phillip's lifetime, Melbourne became the second largest city in the British Empire, and Australia's capital city and financial hub. Bentaiki (talk) 05:49, 17 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Names[edit]

I was able to ilink his place of birth (that sentence could use a reference). But Favel as well as Hannah Potash, does not sound Polish, they are probably corrupted anglicized versions of the original names (Paweł?, Hanna Potasz?). The article should also mention when he emigrated, and why. Lastly, the category claim he was a of Jewish ethnicity, something not mentioned in the article... --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk} 18:24, 22 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
