Upper North Shore (Sydney)

Hello Tourombah, I removed the inaccurate map from the article as you suggested. I also removed the information which was not in encyclopediac format, but I don't want that to stop you from expanding the article. Can I suggest to you that if you want to expand on the article that you have a look at a couple of other regions St George, New South Wales and Lower North Shore (Sydney) for ways that the information can be presented. References must be provided for facts. Let me know if you need a hand. Cheers. J Bar (talk) 06:36, 29 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

'Central North Region'

'Central North Region' is not a recognised region of Sydney. We can't just make new region names for certain parts. If a region name is in general use, then we can create it in wikipedia but we would need a number of references. If you can find some references for such a region then we can do it, but I suggest you hold off making widespread changes to all the Sydney suburb articles.

Statistical evidence for Central Northern Sydney

Hello, I hope this suffices to prove the existance of the Central North Region of Sydney.

http://www.abs.gov.au/AUSSTATS/abs@.nsf/lookup/2223E45AA4489301CA256F19001460B0?opendocument

I have simply merged the lower and central northern Sydney region into one as there is no real finite boundary (like the boundary for the North shore being the Lane Cove river).

Thanks! —Preceding unsigned comment added by Tourombah (talk • contribs) 11:43, 29 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

That's the problem. You've combined two ABS regions used to gather statistics to create a new region. We discussed this issue a while ago and it was decided that the northern suburbs were split between Northern Beaches, Upper & Lower North Shore and then Hills District. These are the officially recognised terms used to decribe parts of Sydney.

I must admit that there are some suburbs there like Ryde which aren't strictly described as being being part of the North Shore, but we probably need to look around for some more reference material before we go off and change all the suburb articles. If you can find some mor ereference material, particularly from the local councils than we coule create a new region in wikipedia.

The other problem of following the ABS statistical regions is that we would probably have to create a number of other new regions which aren't really in common use. Let's see what other people in the Sydney project think before we change all the descriptions in the suburb articles. Cheers. J Bar (talk) 11:57, 29 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
