[edit] Page move

[edit] Separate page for the Local Government Area

As per discussion at Talk:List of Sydney suburbs, I have created a separate page for the Municipality of Hunter's Hill, the Local Government Area. -- Ianblair23 06:57, 30 August 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Spelling

Isn't the name of the suburb Hunters Hill and Hunter's Hill is a misspelling? The NSW Geographical Names Board has no entries for Hunter's Hill at all. Have a think about it and then I'll come back and do a move and a tidy up Bleakcomb (talk) 12:59, 14 March 2008 (UTC)

Totally agree with you there. The NSW Geographical Names Board decided quite some time ago that place names will not contain apostrophes. The local council though has not changed the name of the local government area though. I support the page being moved. J Bar (talk) 13:44, 14 March 2008 (UTC)
That's correct - no apostrophes in NSW place names. NSW Dept of Local Government list the LGA as The Council of the Municipality of Hunters Hill. (no apostrophe) The Council website is shite. They can't even get their own name right. They use either the name or the misspelling. Lets get some more opinion here and I'll attack it next week. Thanks for your response JBar.

You should go ahead with the move, this is correct. --User:Adam.J.W.C. (talk) (talk) 00:46, 15 March 2008 (UTC)

One thing I have noticed is that the apostrophe form is used in the ABS geographic dataset. This maybe where some of that usage is coming from in WP. We should retain a redirect from Hunter's Hill if someone comes from ABS based statistics to WP. Bleakcomb (talk) 03:54, 16 March 2008 (UTC)

Y Done - moved. I left the redirect deleted beneath its new home since its history was trivial. Splash - tk 23:23, 17 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Masonic Temple

I noticed J Bar you put the picture of the Masonic Temple back in. I had moved it to the lower general gallery (Landmarks, IIRC). I had also deleted the text listing the Masonic Temple from the list of churches. Freemasonry is not a religion and Masonic Halls are not churches. You will probably cause offence by leaving it there and insinuating such. I moved the image to the other gallery so that it wouldn't be dropped off and lost. But, I concede the resulting five images in the lower gallery wrapped, looked ugly and needed to be edited somehow. But the Masonic Temple image shouldn't go back into the churches gallery.

I mostly moved the photo there for aesthetic reasons, but I must admit that I thought Freemasonry was a religion. You live and learn, I guess. Cheers. J Bar (talk) 23:07, 17 March 2008 (UTC)
