Talk:Nelson, New Zealand
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Bold textThis article could use some NPOV. Also how is "the geographical Centre of New Zealand" calculated? Does it include all islands?
The geographical centre of NZ is basically a marketing thing for Nelson's tourism. The actual centre has been variously calculated as either in the ocean, in a mudflat, or in a sewage treatment pond. Obviously, the top of a hill with a nice bush-lined track leading up to it is much better for Nelson's tourism :)
New comment: I don't want to hurt your feelings, but I agree about the NPOV. Although very beautiful, I find it a very hard place to actually live. People who move here say it's very cliquey. After 6 years, I would leave if I could. I didn't want people to move here without being warned. Maybe all tourist spots are just like that, I don't know.
"Nice place to visit, but they wouldn't want you to live there" (John Cleese - 'Life and How to Survive It')
New Comment: I disagree; I am very contented living in Nelson. I do not find it "cliquey" at all.
Newer Comment: I moved to Nelson from America almost a year ago and love it. Kiwi's are the greatest people in the world.
[edit] Map
I've no idea why the map is listing as missing: I've re-uploaded it and tweaked the link.dramatic 05:57, 27 Nov 2004 (UTC)

[edit] NPOV
IP addresses keep adding the word "super" to describe the beaches. While agreeable, this statement violates the NPOV. I can't fix it anymore today, as that would violate the 3RR. Someone, please help keep this article neutral! --Gray Porpoise 01:18, 21 August 2006 (UTC)
