This statement in [ August 11, 2006] doesn't seem correct: Mount Allison University launched "Project Rebuild" shortly after the fire, hoping to fundraise enough money to give the town of Sackville a head start in reconstuction and cleanup. Was the purpose to "give a head start" or to aid in cleanup in general? -- Mbcudmore 16:38, 4 October 2007 (UTC)

I propose that the following articles, all of which are stubs, be merged into be merged into Sackville,_New_Brunswick. Upper Point de Bute, Midgic, British Settlement, Halls Hill, Jolicure, Upper Sackville, Middle Sackville, Point de Bute, Mount Whatley and Sackville Parish. I think that the content (of which there is next to none) in these articles can easily be explained in the context of Sackville, and the Sackville article is of a reasonable size that the merging of these articles will not cause any problems as far as article size or undue weight is concerned.

The history section is sorely lacking in references. It is also overly long, given the size of the article itself. I'm not saying Sackville doesn't have a lot of history to document, just that that history content is rather dominating the article. Perhaps there should be a separate article on the History of Sackville. I propose to refresh it with some referenced content. Also reduce the scope a little to exclude some of the contextual information that is not specific to Sackville and is very well documented in other articles. Also it seems to me that there are some important aspects of the history missing, e.g. how it became incorporated, or the hay economy. I think the structure should be something like:

A hatnote has been added with a link to Sackville Parish, New Brunswick. According to WP:HAT the purpose of a hatnote "is to help readers locate a different article if the one they are at is not the one they're looking for." Very few people are looking for the page about this historical parish, as seen in its page view stats. Per WP policy "Mention other topics and articles only if there is a reasonable possibility of a reader arriving at the article either by mistake or with another topic in mind." There is not a reasonable possibility of this, so the link to the parish should be removed. -- Cornellier ( talk) 12:07, 18 November 2020 (UTC)
west by the magnet of eighteen hundred and sixty seven from the southeast angle of lot number one, granted to Otho Reed, at the mouth of Gaspereau Creek;[a] west by Dorchester Parish and Chignecto Bay; south and east by Cumberland Basin and the Aulac River, from its mouth to the upper line of the Sackville grant; thence by a line running north by the magnet of the year seventeen hundred and sixty-five to a point on the said line one hundred and two chains southerly from where the road through Midgic leaves the said line at Edwin Dixon’s gate; thence running north fifty-seven degrees and thirty minutes east by the magnet of eighteen hundred and eighty to the channel of Big Jolicure Lake; thence along the said channel and main brook up stream to the prolongation southwestwardly of the southeast line of David Wheaton’s mill lot; thence along the said prolongation and line to the east angle of said Wheaton’s mill lot..., that is indefensible. This is a straight up copy-paste of historical trivia from the NB archives. Virtually the only useful information in the article is census information. Since you seem to be willing to ignore WP policy on this, and seem to be sincerely convinced the parish article as it is adds value to Wikipedia, I'm not sure what else can be said in the the framework of this talk page. -- Cornellier ( talk) 15:34, 11 December 2020 (UTC)
Your reply once again fails to address the remarks in the preceding comment. Seems to be a pattern, and until it changes, I shall abstain from further comment here. -- Cornellier ( talk) 23:00, 16 December 2020 (UTC)
