On May 2014, it was proposed that this article be moved to Cape Breton, Nova Scotia. The result of the discussion was Not moved. |
I have added a "Canadian City" side bar for CBRM and have included content based on similar structures for other Canadian cities, especially the Halifax article.
As often as possible I have included a line the the "main article", around Acadia, Mikmaq, history, and communities.
I think good one to two line summaries are all that is needed for each main point of history and culture with links to the relevent articles.
Where it needs work: Culture. Needs to be much bigger. Famous People From is a great section, there is none. Climate and Geography. The section is basically empty.
The whole thing needs a good edit, section by section.
Some copyright released photos might be nice, if someone could provide em. A shot of the esplanade or the waterfront, maybe.... a shot of the city from across the harbour? Louisbourg? Rita's Tea Room?

I do not agree or disagree with PlasmaEasts decision that the external links I added be deleted, but I do note that HRM has these links:
Halifax Regional Municipality Guide to Halifax Photos of Halifax Halifax Daily News Halifax Herald The Coast, Halifax's Weekly International Busker festival CIOO 100.1 FM, aka C100 CFRQ 104.3 FM, aka Q104
Toronto: City of Toronto Official website for the city. Tourism Toronto Official tourism website for the city
Vancouver: City of Vancouver Official Site Tourism Vancouver Port of Vancouver TransLink (Greater Vancouver Transportation Authority) Photos of Vancouver Vancouver's Mountain Playground — Illustrated Historical Essay & movie clip flickr vancouver Vancouver pictures Virtual Tours of Vancouver Virtual Tours of Vancouver More Vancouver and BC pictures
One city has just the offical and tourism website. One has media. One has other government and transpo links. As one of the several maritime/nova scotia-philes on Wiki, I just want us to be consistent. Call me anal. Should we keep the links on the NS/Maritime main county/municiple/RM page just to the official website, and have all the other external links show up on the respective detail articles? Thoughts?

I noticed that the internal hyperlink (not sure if that's the right terminology) for the Savoy Theatre takes you to the page for the Savoy in London, England. I would edit it, but I'm not sure how to remove that link, or how to create one that says there's no article, but gives someone a chance to write one. Can anyone fix this?
Update: Since there is no wikipedia page for the Savoy Theatre (something hopefully to change in the future) I have removed the internal link as it pointed to a page that doesn't exist.( Mileages ( talk) 06:59, 12 August 2012 (UTC))
Hi all. I just removed a list of "Racial" statistics that were unsourced. I believe that had been manufactured from several other data sources, and contained a statistic for "White" that was very troubling - on the census, there is a question about visible minority. If you answer that you are not a visible minority (which might be true or not - you might be mixed-race, or you might not feel that you wanted to talk about the issue) then you you are included as "not visible minority". Also, aboriginal Canadians are explicitly not included as a visible minority - so those who answer with information about aboriginal origins also go into the "not vis-min" category. However, many people (including the author who put this here, I think) assume that means "White". It doesn't. Personally, I don't think that we should have "racial" statistics here at all - I've removed them, and tried to put another line or two into the "Ethnic Origin" stats, because I think that they're more useful. I understand that this might be contentious for some people, but I'm happy to discuss it. Please feel free to respond here, or on my talk page: AshleyMorton ( talk) 12:55, 18 April 2014 (UTC)
The result of the move request was: Not moved. There is clear consensus that proposed title is not sufficiently unambiguous. ( non-admin closure) Staberinde ( talk) 18:33, 22 May 2014 (UTC)
