Sydney regions

G'Day

I have been adding some information to some of the southern Sydney suburbs and Sydney Regions.

I would like to request a change to the suburbs categories box for 'City of Rockdale'. This box should be linked to Southern Sydney rather than South-Eastern Sydney. Just like Kogarah and Hurstville already do. It would also be really good to have an extra link to the 'St George' region (if possible) for all 3 local govt areas of 'City of Rockdale', 'Municipality of Kogarah' and 'City of Hurstville'.

Also, in 'Regions of Sydney' category box there should be a link to Upper North Shore. We already have Lower North Shore and North Shore there. I have created the page but can't link it.

In the 'City of Rockdale' can you please include the suburb of Kingsgrove? Also, in the 'City of Hurstville', I think the suburb box would look neater without the localities (which aren't really that well-known anyway). A minor edit for local government area of Hunters Hill. It should not have an apostrophe in Hunter's.

Thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by J Bar (talk • contribs)

I'm not really sure. I'm not in Sydney (from Adelaide and have only spent a month in Sydney but it was at Bonnyrigg, New South Wales the whole time) so I don't know much about geographic accuracy. When I created the templates, I just copied the list of suburbs from City of Rockdale and used "South-Eastern Sydney because the City of Rockdale article said so - actually it didn't I did a copying error so I fixed it to southern. If you think there are suburbs missing then add them and discuss at WikiProject Sydney or User:Nickj, the Sydney suburbs guru. Your changes seem reasoned, but I'm not really the best person to know about Sydney geographical consideration, so wait a bit. Regards, Blnguyen | Have your say!!! 06:04, 31 May 2006 (UTC)

Hi J Bar! I've added Upper North Shore to the Sydney regions template, and left my comments at Template talk:Sydney regions. I agree with you concerning the Hurtsville localities - those localities didn't make it to our list of Sydney suburbs, and so don't have articles. I guess they originally came from the dodgy DLG site. JPD (talk) 10:37, 31 May 2006 (UTC)
