[edit] 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.

[edit] 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)
[edit] 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)
