The parenthetical expression is unnecessary, as there is nothing to disambiguate "Sydney, Nova Scotia" from. - Montréalais 00:45, 25 April 2006 (UTC)
This may be the wrong place to comment on this, but I cannot figure out any place better. The articles talks about a naval engagement in 1781 in which French ships were re-coaling. That seems unlikely inasmuch as that was before the steam ship era. — Preceding unsigned comment added by JL28552855 ( talk • contribs) 16:57, 16 July 2013 (UTC)
The population of the CBRM is 105,968, which is correct in the article according the the source cited. The article states that the population of Sydney is 24,115, although I ca find no source to verify this. To be sure, the population of Sydney is most definitely not 105,000.

24,000 ? the data seems way off, the 24,000 people live in an area less than 10 miles squared. Glace Bay is basically linked up with Sydney along one of its main streets. The data understates Sydney and the size of the region around it. CBRM should be treated as Metro Sydney since it covers an area half the size of the Halifax Regional Municipality and has close to 120,000 people or more. The urban area around Sydney has to be a lot larger than what the data implies. Grmike ( talk) 23:52, 21 October 2010 (UTC)grmike
Because random unexplained changes to climate numbers are becoming a problem here, I wanted to compare the material in text with the source, but the one in the article is directing to a page not found. This link here [1] appears to be the new link for the information, but the Environment Canada site can be quite confusing with so many different sets of numbers that I want to be sure we have the right link before adding it to the article. I'm hoping one of the editors who do these types of edits regularly and know the Environment Canada site can verify that these are in fact the numbers that would correspond with the dead reference link. If this is the correct link, then some changes will have to be made as not all the numbers on the new link match the numbers in this article. Cmr08 ( talk) 01:18, 21 May 2012 (UTC)
Il n'est pas fair play de ne pas dire que parmi les premiers habitants de la Nouvelle Ecosse il y avait des pêcheurs bretons, et ceci depuis au moins 1527 (carte espagnole), il existe deux cartes qui montrent le drapeau breton à cet endroit, voir article agence de presse bretonne, de patay lejean, avec des références; cette région s'appelait au 16è siècle la Terre et le cap des Bretons, pas des britanniques, demarrer l'histoire de cette région en 1700 n'est pas sérieux. cqfd.-- 88.141.91.11 ( talk) 07:50, 18 April 2014 (UTC)
This article should be deleted and moved into a new page covering all the sydneys . — Preceding unsigned comment added by Easternhfx ( talk • contribs) 12:23, 16 May 2014 (UTC)
Why would the French Navy have been re-coaling at Sydney in 1781 when the first steam-powered oceangoing ship was not built until decades later? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.178.166.3 ( talk) 01:25, 22 May 2020 (UTC)
So the sources section has been tagged for almost 3 years, and consists of a bunch of "sources" not being used as sources for anything. They're just a bunch of random links masquerading as references. Material in the article is properly references, these are not proper sources or links and quite frankly are just a mess. Any reason to not hit the nuke button on them? Canterbury Tail talk 00:43, 3 June 2020 (UTC)
From the current lede. Odd wording: it's a town of 30,000. Is this a Canadian nuance I'm missing? I propose to change it to "city" or "town". Comments?
@ Thiscouldbeauser: You added a Gaelic name to the "native_name" infobox parameter. At Template:Infobox settlement, it states that this parameter is for the "name in the official local language". The article says nothing about "Gaelic". Do you have a source to support that Gaelic is the official local language? Thank you. Magnolia677 ( talk) 09:42, 11 February 2023 (UTC)
"Name in the official local language, if different from name, and if not English. This will display below the name/official name. If there is no official local language, leave blank."
