There is an odd para disputing ownership of a street? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2407:7000:9C2B:F407:E5C0:5514:BF96:8B25 (talk) 07:57, 4 February 2018 (UTC)

That last paragraph is a bit poetic for an encyclopaedia eh?

Prominent features section
Article is looking heaps better (if I do say so myself). Great work Ballofstring. Only major thing now is the 'Other prominent features' section. I'm not a huge fan, plus it lists things like a the local cat and reads more like a travel guide than an encyclopedia. Not sure if it can be tweaked to list historic sites (http://www.heritage.org.nz/the-list/details/7030 and http://www.heritage.org.nz/the-list/details/4123 are the only major ones I can find) or if it should just be removed. Ideas?

 * Hi! Thanks for all your work too. Yeah I think the prominent features section should be merged, where applicable, into other sections. Listing things is never really a good idea in my opinion! I'll work on that soonish :-) — Ballofstring (talk) 22:25, 21 February 2015 (UTC)
