this is a bit of a muddle, and I am asking for comments before I make any changes. The histories of Winnipeg North centre, Winnipeg North and Winnipeg centre are intertwined. Here is how I understand it from the Library of Parliament website:

1. Winnipeg North Centre was created in 1924 and renamed Winnipeg Centre in 1997, and exists to today.
2. Winnipeg North was created in 1914, renamed Winnipeg North Centre in 1997 and abolished in 2003.
3. A new Winnipeg North riding was created in 2003 and continues to exist.

I propose to divide the histories as follows:

• The Winnipeg Centre article would cover #1 above.
• The Winnipeg North article would cover #2 and #3 above.
• The Winnipeg North Centre article would be a disambiguation page pointing to those two articles.

The [problem that I am trying to address is that Winnipeg North Centre 1997-2003 is not the same riding as Winnipeg North Centre 1914-1997, so they should not be in the same article. Both were later renamed. The history of a riding should be in one article throughout its chanegs of names, rather than being broken up between different articles.
