Why have two people now tried to reformat this article as though it is a finished entity rather than a stub to be developed? Most mature articles on towns have sections covering location, demographics, history, economy and unique features. Moriori's edit splits the economy material across two other sections, which will be akward once the article is expanded.

That's when it gets any necessary reformatting. However, no problem. Moriori

Secondly, since when does W have a policy of km for Kilometre? If it does, it is wrong.

What we think is less important than wiki style which was designed to give conformity throughout the entire site. See here for km, mm etc. Incidentally, your edit left the page with both Km and km! Moriori

I have two references which say that all SI prefixes greater than 1 should use capitals while all less than 1 use lower case. This is to eliminate confusion between deci and Deca, milli and Mega, pico and Peta etc. and the other prefices follow suit for the sake of consistency. dramatic 19:15, 10 May 2004 (UTC)

We can all find references re other styles, but surely it is the Wiki style that is important.That's why I have again changed Km to km. Cheers. Moriori 22:51, May 20, 2004 (UTC)

[edit] carisbrook

carisbrook has no 'e' on the end

Thanks - but why didn't you just edit the article? dramatic 08:31, 17 Dec 2004 (UTC)

[edit] continental climate

Sorry but Alex doesn't have a continental climate. Refer Koppen Climate classification. Live in Montana or North Dakota if you want "severe winters and hot, dry summers"
