[edit] MAJOR UPDATE

I have added a "Canadian City" side bar for CBRM and have included content based on similar structures for other Canadian cities, especially the Halifax article.

As often as possible I have included a line the the "main article", around Acadia, Mikmaq, history, and communities.

I think good one to two line summaries are all that is needed for each main point of history and culture with links to the relevent articles.

Where it needs work: Culture. Needs to be much bigger. Famous People From is a great section, there is none. Climate and Geography. The section is basically empty.

The whole thing needs a good edit, section by section.

Some copyright released photos might be nice, if someone could provide em. A shot of the esplanade or the waterfront, maybe.... a shot of the city from across the harbour? Louisbourg? Rita's Tea Room?

[edit] External Links

I do not agree or disagree with PlasmaEasts decision that the external links I added be deleted, but I do note that HRM has these links:

Halifax Regional Municipality Guide to Halifax Photos of Halifax Halifax Daily News Halifax Herald The Coast, Halifax's Weekly International Busker festival CIOO 100.1 FM, aka C100 CFRQ 104.3 FM, aka Q104

Toronto: City of Toronto Official website for the city. Tourism Toronto Official tourism website for the city

Vancouver: City of Vancouver Official Site Tourism Vancouver Port of Vancouver TransLink (Greater Vancouver Transportation Authority) Photos of Vancouver Vancouver's Mountain Playground — Illustrated Historical Essay & movie clip flickr vancouver Vancouver pictures Virtual Tours of Vancouver Virtual Tours of Vancouver More Vancouver and BC pictures

One city has just the offical and tourism website. One has media. One has other government and transpo links. As one of the several maritime/nova scotia-philes on Wiki, I just want us to be consistent. Call me anal. Should we keep the links on the NS/Maritime main county/municiple/RM page just to the official website, and have all the other external links show up on the respective detail articles? Thoughts?

[edit] Savoy Theatre

I noticed that the internal hyperlink (not sure if that's the right terminology) for the Savoy Theatre takes you to the page for the Savoy in London, England. I would edit it, but I'm not sure how to remove that link, or how to create one that says there's no article, but gives someone a chance to write one. Can anyone fix this?
