IP did a spot of wikifiddling, adding nonsense to Irredentism and a list of notable "Nelsonians" to Nelson, New Zealand, checking the list its not that bad but a couple have only a tangential connection to Nelson. I didn't delete the whole lot, only those with a tangential connection. He also changed the map on this historic article to a different one [1]. As it looks like wikifiddling I reverted him but the IP is edit warring them back. About to warn for 3RR but not going to indulge their edit war. Would appreciate other wikipedia editors checking this and reverting if they concur with my assessment. W C M_email 00:43, 7 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Why not add both maps to the article? They are both relevant and correct. Schwede 66 01:01, 7 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I see, in which case my apologies, I did a quick look and possibly made a hasty decision following the addition of nonsense at Irredentism. W C M_email 01:08, 7 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The edit to Irredentism reflected a concept being put forward by a pro-Nelsonia flag group as referenced to an external page. There needs to be a new page on Nelsonian people so that it can be clarified who is a Nelsonian. Residents of the Tasman District always have and still do identify themselves as Nelsonians not Motuekians or any other false demonyms. Meanwhile the map was changed to reflect the Nelson Province upon its constitution in 1853. Not wikifiddling as claimed by User talk:Wee Curry Monster. 222.154.85.255 (talk) 01:09, 7 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Nelsonian may be a good idea to have. What's definitely a good idea is to have new articles for the Nelson Region, and maybe also the Tasman Region. That may go some way towards resolving some of the issues here. Why am I saying this? Well, Nelson (and also Tasman) is a unitary authority, but the city and the region are separate things. This scope issue may be one of the reasons why there are differences in opinion as to what is, and what isn't, "Nelson". Nelson Region is currently a redirect, so why not use that as the article name for the region article? It's less clear (to me, at least) whether there should be a separate Tasman Region article, given that the region and district are the same. But as for Nelson, we should definitely have a city article, and one for the region. Thoughts? Schwede 66 01:27, 7 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed. There needs to be better clarification between Nelson the city and Nelson the geographical region. Tasman District may be a administrative district but it does not reflect what Nelsonians and others consider to be the Nelson region. Is it possible for the Nelson region page to reflect the geographical rather than the political region in a similar way to New England? There really is no need for a separate Tasman Region page and the Tasman District Council page could be merged with Tasman District.222.154.85.255 (talk) 01:36, 7 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

We should eventually have a series of region articles so that the political units created in the 1989 local government reform are all covered. To me, that is the most important series of articles to have complete. Whether there is then another article needed that covers a geographical region for Nelson is a different matter.
