:Yeah, you have a good point; it's a bit of a weird situation. But I've been linking to the city article from a variety of articles when that was the situation at the time; I don't want to indicate that someone's birthplace was the municipality when it was the city. The problem is that the Halifax name has been used for two things that really seem pretty different, and I can't see a neat way to deal with that. — ] ] 16:23, 4 March 2006 (UTC)

Kingmaker (band)

Sorry for acting too hastily; the edit looked so much like a type of vandalism that I've come across often that I simply assumed that that was what it was, and reacted accordingly. I should have taken into account the fact that you have a User account (which is a strong contra-indication) and then checked your other edits. Finger-wagging "test" template removed. --Mel Etitis (Μελ Ετητης) 09:44, 17 February 2006 (UTC)

Dab'ing Halifax

Hi, good work on fixing all those ambiguous links. However, I just wanted to mention that in circumnavigation, I changed the Halifax link to Halifax, Nova Scotia (former city), since the voyage was in 1942 and it was the then city — not the present municipal region — that they went to.
