Please stop exagerating and making things up.

Look, I appreciate your enthusiasm but, for crying out loud, county seats or shire towns are usually DECLARED. They are recognized in some official way. The fact that Halifax Hall is in the community of Halifax is meaningless. HRM doesn't even consider that part of downtown a part of Halifax or peninsula planning and administration, its a part of the "capital district" which includes the downtown of Dartmouth.

It could be argued that it should be called the seat, but as an avid observer and participant in HRM politics I have never ever ever heard this referenced in any way. The fact that you want it to be called that simply is not good enough, and FURTHER it is extremely bad wiki since it has NO basis in fact. It is very common to try and apply logical frameworks and organize the data in appealing and sensible ways, but please stick to verifiable facts and common usages, rather than creating things to fit your framework or preconceptions.

Infobox

Hey there. Peace. Okay? I love that you are putting the info box everywhere! But why are you not using the callable box? Why are you hard coding it? It makes it really hard to change them later? I thought that someone else had been hard coding them, so I am following you around changing them all to the infobox template. Can I suggest that we both divide the work, move all the towns and villages to teh infobox template, and then we should have a dialog abotu what other formating and information changes we want to make to the template? Yours in good wiki and all that WayeMason 23:26, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

I also did a bit of formating on the county and town infoboxes. Template:Infobox_Town_of_Nova_Scotia now says "Incorporated Towns and Municipalities" so you can use it on the Municipal Districts as well. I will go to the SNMR website tonight and get the list of Incorporated Towns and put them all on the Nova Scotia subdivisions template. Cheers WayeMason 23:49, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

Can you tell me why you have not been using the templates on pages like the Dartmouth page? Why are your infoboxes custom? Thanks WayeMason 01:42, 30 March 2007 (UTC)

Dog?

Hi. What's the point of adding "dog" if it's just gonna be blank everywhere? I'm inclined to remove all of em, but I'll give you a chance to explain. El_C 21:12, 28 March 2007 (UTC)

Every Porvince has one--Sonyuser 21:13, 28 March 2007 (UTC)

So why are you leaving em blank? El_C 21:15, 28 March 2007 (UTC)

Are you sure that every territory and province has a dog as a symbol? I think that it might be an "symbolic animal". If you look at List of Canadian provincial and territorial symbols almost every one of the territories and provinces has an animal but only Nunavut and Nova Scotia have dogs. I checked and was unable to find any references to symbolic dogs with other territories and provinces. CambridgeBayWeather (Talk) 11:25, 29 March 2007 (UTC)

If you check the Nova Scotia article I found a way around it.--Sonyuser 12:40, 29 March 2007 (UTC)

I didn't mean the template I ment Quebec, Ontario, Saskatchewan, Manitoba and New Brunswick. Though some may be reverted by now. CambridgeBayWeather (Talk) 18:56, 29 March 2007 (UTC)

Parrsboro, NS

Thanks for the help with that page.

Help with RFC

Hello there, sorry for the form-letter post.... I am writing you because your edits of Halifax, Nova Scotia, like a half dozen others, since January, have been reverted by one user, Lonewolf BC.

I have recently lodged a Request for Comments on the Talk:Halifax, Nova Scotia page. I and several other editors have had a running dispute with user Lonewolf BC. The RFC is This is a dispute about whether it is accurate to continue to refer to the area of or approximately coinciding with the boundaries of the City of Halifax, which became a part of the rural/urban Halifax Regional Municipality in 1996, as a city.

Basically, as I say on the RFC, we all agree that this is no longer a City, but to use former City's boundaries when describing the current urban area as a "city" (note the lower case) is at best arbitrary and at worst a fabrication. The city is now a continuous area that wraps the harbour, from Portuguese Cove (outside of the city of Halifax to the west and south) to Cole Harbour (outside of the former City of Dartmouth to the east). People now refer to the entire urban area of Halifax Regional Municipality as 'the city' and 'Halifax'.

Anyway, the bottom line is at least five people have tried to change the wording of the intro since January, and every time this one user changes it back. I have tried to come up with compromise wording, and he won't dialog. Right now wikipedia says HRM and Halifax are the capital of Nova Scotia. This article is now factually incorrect, in my opinion, and I need your help, please chime in. WayeMason 23:12, 7 April 2007 (UTC)

==Thanks==

Despite what can only be described as a rocky start, I think we will get along fine! Sorry to be such a total overbearing jerk...

I am kinda counting on you for things like telephone exchanges and postal codes and such for the HRM template. If you have a second, check out Albro_Lake,_Nova_Scotia. The generic HRM infobox ALMOST works, but not quite. I think a new, really stripped down tag or box would be good, for each neighbourhood or village... what do you think? WayeMason 03:01, 8 April 2007 (UTC)

You know what would be great? If we could figure out how to call data from one template into another. What I mean is if we could make a list of Dartmouth neighborhoods on one template, and then call that template into the community template for HRM, so when I realize I spelt something wrong, I don't have to edit every single neighborhood in dartmouth's page, separately! WayeMason 22:42, 9 April 2007 (UTC)

Heya - have a look at the new Template:Infobox_HRM_Community_Neighbourhood I made all the data conditional, so if we have it it can go there, if we don't that is fine.... best example is here Waverley,_Nova_Scotia WayeMason 10:16, 11 April 2007 (UTC)

Flag size in infobox

I made a change to your last edit of Rothesay, New Brunswick (diff). Flag size must be a number. Also, I'll add some blank fields to the infobox tomorrow unless someone complains. —MJCdetroit 03:36, 10 April 2007 (UTC)

Nova Scotia Infoboxes

Hi Sonyuser,
Thought I would drop you a line and let you know that I standardized the Nova Scotia Infoboxes to {{Infobox Settlement}} (aka Infobox City) to match most of the rest of Canada. I know that you are one of the main editors for articles in that part of Canada and have implemented those infoboxes along with Infobox Settlement. I think it makes good sense to have one infobox and look for all of Canada. Let me know if you have any questions. —MJCdetroit 20:19, 17 May 2007 (UTC)

Ok --Sonyuser 20:50, 17 May 2007 (UTC)

FYI, I placed the infoboxes up for deletion. Here's the link if you want to contribute to the discussion.

My concern about your username

Hello, Sonyuser, and welcome to Wikipedia!

I hope not to seem unfriendly or make you feel unwelcome, but I noticed your username, and am concerned that it might not meet Wikipedia's username policy. After you look over that policy, could we discuss that concern here?

I'd appreciate learning your own views, for instance your reasons for wanting this particular name, and what alternative username you might accept that avoids raising this concern.

You have several options freely available to you:

• If you can relieve my concern through discussing it here, I can stop worrying about it.
• If the two of us can't agree here, we can ask for help through Wikipedia's dispute resolution process, such as asking for a "third opinion", or requesting comments from other Wikipedians. Wikipedia administrators usually abide by agreements reached through this process.
• You can keep your contributions history under a new username. Visit Wikipedia:Changing username and follow the guidelines there.

Let me reassure you that my writing here means I don't think your username is grossly, blatantly, or obviously inappropriate; such names get reported straight to Wikipedia:Usernames for administrator attention or blocked on sight. This is more a case where opinions might differ, and it would be good to reach some consensus — either here or at Wikipedia:Requests for comment/User names. So I look forward to a friendly discussion, and to enjoying your continued participation on Wikipedia. Thank you. -- lucasbfr ^talk 18:45, 17 June 2007 (UTC)

Namely, the issue is that you are using a registered trademark on your username. -- lucasbfr ^talk 18:45, 17 June 2007 (UTC)

Elevations

I was curious as to where you found the elevations for places such as Cambridge Bay. The reason I ask is that the hamlet boundaries would include the Cambridge Bay Airport which is 27 m and might include Ovayok Territorial Park which is 183 m.

Also I noticed that you were putting in some coordinates for communities but using the older template. Check out Template:Coord and Wikipedia:WikiProject Geographical coordinates#Parameters. The default is, I think, 1:300,000 but for smaller places you can set a scale of 1:20,000 to give a better view. Cheers. CambridgeBayWeather (Talk) 17:48, 17 December 2007 (UTC) I get my elevations from Google Earth ,it looks like I got the wrong infromation from them for Cambridge Bay ,however based on the infromation about the park it should be 183m . and I use Google Earth also for coordinates using the "Coords for Wikipedia" tool and include the further information later . Thanks for the tip .--Cherry1000 (talk) 22:07, 17 December 2007 (UTC)

Google Earth seems to be giving some very strange results for elevation. Mt. Pelly in the park comes out at 600 ft but a lot of the others seem to be wrong. For example my house and the airport should be about the same height 93 ft but both show as 3 ft. Cheers. CambridgeBayWeather (Talk) 03:26, 18 December 2007 (UTC)

Coordinate templates

Hi there. I just wanted to inform you that the template {{Coor title dms}} is deprecated. You should use {{Coord}} instead, formatting it as {{Coord|45|54|32|N|75|30|25|W|display=title}}. For example, see this recent edit I made. Thanks. Mindmatrix 01:07, 4 November 2008 (UTC)

Please do not add coordinates to highway articles as of yet; we are still discussing what points should be tagged. However, you are adding in way too many coordinates and adding clutter to the article. --Rschen7754 (T C) 23:49, 25 January 2009 (UTC)

Logic

Hi - I notice you are placing succession boxes on NS highways. Just wondering ('cause I can't figure it out): what logic are you using to decide how to link one road to another? Verne Equinox (talk) 20:48, 3 February 2009 (UTC)

Using maps Cherry1000 (talk) 20:55, 3 February 2009 (UTC)

That is not how you are supposed to do it. For example, NS 213 should link to NS 212 and NS 214. NS 214 should link to NS 213 and 215. And so on. --Rschen7754 (T C) 21:57, 3 February 2009 (UTC)

User:Rschen7754 -No, your thinking of the " Template:Infobox road " . The "succession box" shows the roads jioning the road in the article. However reading Template:Infobox road the ones for Nova Scotia are done wrong .Cherry1000 (talk) 22:13, 3 February 2009 (UTC)

Um, no. I know what I am talking about - I've been here for almost 4 years. A succession box shows the consecutively numbered routes. Succession boxes can be included in Infobox road, although in some cases they are not. --Rschen7754 (T C) 22:49, 3 February 2009 (UTC)

Halifax Stanfield International Airport

I just noticed this. What it should look like is this. For airports the default is a scale of 30,000 and that works best for almost all of them. A scale of 11,000 would bring the map in too close for all the details to be seen. Cheers. CambridgeBayWeather Have a gorilla 12:56, 8 February 2009 (UTC)

When I click on the Globle44°52′51″N 063°30′31″Won the page the default is too far out on default for airport set scale to 30000 and gives a better viewCherry1000 (talk) 18:08, 8 February 2009 (UTC)

The idea is to be able to see all of the airport. At 11,000 you only get part of it and that may only include the parts of the runway and cut out any terminals. CambridgeBayWeather Have a gorilla 18:47, 8 February 2009 (UTC)

Heres a view at 11000, 44°52′51″N 063°30′31″W. CambridgeBayWeather Have a gorilla 18:57, 8 February 2009 (UTC)

By the way, the use of "type:" will set to the default scale used at Template:Coord. The only time you need "scale:" is if the default is too close in or too far out. Cheers. CambridgeBayWeather Have a gorilla 21:13, 8 February 2009 (UTC)

Notability of Upper Ohio, Nova Scotia

Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Upper Ohio, Nova Scotia, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Upper Ohio, Nova Scotia seems to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not assert the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting Upper Ohio, Nova Scotia, please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. Feel free to contact the bot operator if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot, bearing in mind that this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion; it does not perform any nominations or deletions itself.

Designated places

Designated place is a specific status conferred by Statistics Canada on certain specific communities for census purposes. It doesn't apply to any and every community you choose to add it to; it belongs only on our articles about the specific communities listed here. Bearcat (talk) 17:46, 26 February 2009 (UTC)

You're still adding Category:Designated places in Nova Scotia to communities that are not designated places, even after I explained this to you. Can I be a little bit more clear?

"Designated place" is not synonymous with "any community inside a larger municipality"; it's a specific, special status that only certain specific communities hold. There are only 47 places in Nova Scotia which hold the status of "designated place", and therefore only 47 articles that should be in the category. Of those, 40 are already in the category, and only seven still don't have articles. Those seven are Carleton Corner, Granville Ferry, Hants Border, Hillside, Lequille, Milton Highlands and Terrence Bay. If you write articles about those places, they should be added to Category:Designated places in Nova Scotia — but as all of the other 40 designated places are already in the category, you need to understand that the category isn't to be added to any other new article besides those seven, because any place that isn't one of those seven, or one of the 40 that's already in the category, is not a designated place. Bearcat (talk) 06:39, 28 February 2009 (UTC)

Statistics Canada is not the agencey that determines a place is a "Designated place" its the Geographical Names Board of Canada through provincial agenceies such as the "Service Nova Scotia and Municipal Relations " or municipal agencies like the Halifax Regional Municipality Civic Address Office . The function of Statistics Canada is provide counts of population or ecomonic issues They do not determine which area is a "Designated place " and never ever did provide that function. Cherry1000 (talk) 22:25, 28 February 2009 (UTC)

Terrence Bay, Nova Scotia ?Cherry1000 (talk) 22:29, 28 February 2009 (UTC)

The Statistics Canada definition of designated place is the only meaning that the term has. StatsCan does determine what a "designated place" is, because "designated place" means "an unincorporated community for which Statistics Canada has chosen, for statistical purposes, to aggregate and publish specific census data, in a manner comparable to the way such data is aggregated for incorporated municipalities rather than the way in which it's done for other unincorporated communities." Providing counts of population or economic issues is the term's sole purpose and function. You're confusing it with something else that has absolutely nothing to do with what a "designated place" is — neither one of the websites you linked to even uses the term "designated place" at all, and a General Service Area isn't the same thing. If you'd like to create a separate category for those, please by all means do — but "designated places" isn't the appropriate category for them, because that means something else entirely. Bearcat (talk) 21:13, 2 March 2009 (UTC)

Also, Category:Villages in Nova Scotia is only for places which legally hold "village" status under the Nova Scotia government's municipal incorporation laws. Any place which doesn't have that is categorized only as a "community" or a "settlement". In other words, that category is only to contain the 22 communities specifically identified by Service Nova Scotia and Municipal Relations as possessing the legal status of village; just like "designated place", the term "village" is not interchangeable with "any named settlement at all". Bearcat (talk) 21:39, 2 March 2009 (UTC)

Municipalities

I noticed that you created Category:Municipalities of Nova Scotia and added Pictou County, Nova Scotia to it. I have reverted this, because Pictou County, Nova Scotia is an article about the whole county. The Municipality of that name largely covers the rural areas, and the towns have their own councils. If you want an article about the municipality, it should be called Municipality of Pictou County, Nova Scotia.

I also removed the self-reference within that category. Is there some subtle difference between that and Category:Municipal districts in Nova Scotia? --Derek Andrews (talk) 17:34, 9 March 2009 (UTC)

Great job there, but as you include coordinates you might also want to add an infobox with a map to your articles. I did this at some of your newly created stubs, e.g. McCallum Settlement, Nova Scotia. De728631 (talk) 20:52, 10 March 2009 (UTC)

Template:KML

You only need to use the {{kml}} template when you have a list of coordinates that you want in a drop down box. For the community articles you're making you don't need them. Regards, Killiondude (talk) 04:42, 13 March 2009 (UTC)

What Killiondude said, there is no need to add the kml template to your Nova Scotia stubs. De728631 (talk) 14:30, 16 March 2009 (UTC)

stubs and more stubs

Hi, If you're adding {{NovaScotia-geo-stub}} to a new article, like Pleasantville, Nova Scotia, please don't also add the unsorted {{stub}} - it's not needed, and wastes the time of people at WP:WSS who will come to the article to "stub-sort" it unnecessarily. Thanks. PamD (talk) 09:22, 18 March 2009 (UTC)

And you might also like to think about providing links from the "Undisambiguated" versions of the place names - I've just made a couple of redirects, and added an entry to the existing disambiguation page at Rose Bay. Remember there will be people who look for a place by typing something into the "search" box, and they may not think to include the "Nova Scotia". It also reduces the chance that some less savvy editor will later create a duplicate article at the undisambiguated version of the name, where it's unique. Thanks. PamD (talk) 09:31, 18 March 2009 (UTC)

Same for Baxters Harbour. Where there is only one Baxters Harbour, as per established Wikipedia procedure there is no need to add Nova Scotia to the entry title. I moved it back to the original name. Also please note, rarely do place names include an apostrophe. Finally, please also think twice before creating articles for tiny communities, esp. without doing any research first.

Coordinates in South Lake

This is the first time I've seen coordinates in a dab page. Unless you can give a good reason why they should stay, I'm afraid they'll have to go. Please respond here. Clarityfiend (talk) 07:50, 8 April 2009 (UTC)

Alton, Nova Scotia

This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Alton, Nova Scotia, and it appears to be very similar to another Wikipedia page: South Alton, Nova Scotia. It is possible that you have accidentally duplicated contents, or made an error while creating the page— you might want to look at the pages and see if that is the case. If you are intentionally moving or duplicating content, please be sure you have followed the procedure at Wikipedia:Splitting by acknowledging the duplication of material in edit summary to preserve attribution history.

This message was placed automatically, and it is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article and it would be appreciated if you could drop a note on the maintainer's talk page. CorenSearchBot (talk) 21:47, 16 April 2009 (UTC)

Community coordinates for places in NL

The coordinates you have entered for Bachelor's Cove, Newfoundland and Labrador‎, Apsey Point, Newfoundland and Labrador‎ and Apsey Cove, Newfoundland and Labrador‎ seems to be far removed from the general area from which these places are located. Do you have knowledge of where these communities are located? Thanks --HJKeats (talk) 11:27, 22 April 2009 (UTC)

Nova Scotia stubs

Hi, it's a good idea to start articles about communities in Nova Scotia. Good work!

Just a minor point: headlines should start with "==" rather than "===" (Wikipedia:MOSHEAD#Section headings). At WikiProject Check Wikipedia#Headlines start with three "=", there is a report about these and it seems that entries from Nova Scotia are somewhat frequent. Anyways, I fixed most of them. At some, e.g. Lornevale, Nova Scotia, there is an additional element: it includes <code></code> tags. If you want, I can try to fix those too. By bot, it's fairly easy to do. -- User:Docu

Adding really unimportant places

Hiya, I don't know that there's any sense in creating one-sentence articles on unincorporated areas if there isn't anything to say about them aside from the fact that they're in Nova Scotia. If there's nothing notable about them, every little placename on a map shouldn't have it's own article, really - there's nothing to say about 'em :P. South Lochaber, Nova Scotia, for example, appears to have no more than three dwellings. Kinou (talk) 02:31, 24 May 2009 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Darling's Lake, Nova Scotia

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Darling's Lake, Nova Scotia, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process because of the following concern:

exact same content as Darlings Lake, Nova Scotia and that is the name the reference uses

All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because, even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

Sorry for this but it appears you created two articles for the same place one with and one without the apostrophe and the reference calls it Darlings Lake. Waacstats (talk) 09:25, 10 June 2009 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Bayfield Road, Nova Scotia

The article Bayfield Road, Nova Scotia has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

The Canadian Geographic Names Board describes this place name as a railway point. [2] Looking on maps there is indeed a level crossing at that location, and not much else. Road signage (via Google Street View) only indicates this is a road and no more.

Speedy deletion nomination of White Point, Nova Scotia

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on White Point, Nova Scotia requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G14 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a disambiguation page which either

• disambiguates only one extant Wikipedia page and whose title ends in "(disambiguation)" (i.e., there is a primary topic);
• disambiguates zero extant Wikipedia pages, regardless of its title; or
• is an orphaned redirect with a title ending in "(disambiguation)" that does not target a disambiguation page or page that has a disambiguation-like function.

Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such pages may be deleted at any time. Please see the disambiguation page guidelines for more information.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator.
