Talk:List of neighbourhoods in Ottawa

HORRIBLE MAP!
Add some streets so we know where one district/hood ends and another starts. All this is is a jumble of colours.

Suggestion
It would be very helpful, especially for people moving to Ottawa, if the "List of Ottawa neighbourhoods" was turned in to a description of the neighborhoods. See the "Neighborhoods in Boston" page for an example: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boston_neighborhoods Sarahbv17 (talk) 01:58, 31 December 2007 (UTC)

Golden Triangle
Real estate listing now often specify their neighbourhood as the "golden triangle". This seems to be anything east of Elgin st. and west of the canal. Should this be considered for inclusion in the list? IMO this little section never felt like part of centre town anyway. 206.188.92.24 (talk) 17:54, 30 January 2008 (UTC)
 * I've definitely heard it called that before. It could warrant an article. -- Earl Andrew - talk 19:44, 30 January 2008 (UTC)

towns
Many of these "neighborhoods", such as Marionville, are small towns with nothing around for miles (ie, not in any way a neighborhood). Not sure if there's a way to reflect this in the title or organization. Dan Carkner 18:29, 21 December 2005 (UTC)

There seems to be plenty of information on towns, villages, etc on the page List of communities in the Ottawa area. I suggest that the information from List of communities in the Ottawa area be merged into this article as it compliments what's already here. HeadSnap (talk) 21:01, 25 January 2008 (UTC)

I've merged the old article 'List of communities in the Ottawa Area' with this article and redirected the old article here. This was mostly a copy edit although I did add a few references for population numbers. There are many more population numbers that I haven't grabbed references for yet - they were just copied over. One point about page organization though, the city is now divided into 23 wards - should the same overlapping information be captured in the current 23 ward structure instead? Most names for the areas are historical and boundaries are not easily defined. Example, the old city of Ottawa proper south end - not overly helpful for the uninitiated resident or visitor. I think the information is good and best to have all in one article (obviously) but maybe we can arrange it in a better way. It seems a little disjointed at the moment.

Question
I don't know where else to ask this so I'll ask here: Is Bell St N/Raymond part of Centretown West? -   nathanrdotcom   (Talk • Contribs)  03:05, 26 February 2006 (UTC)

Old Ottawa South
I moved Old Ottawa South to the Central Ottawa section for the following reasons:
 * 1. It is in the parliamentary district of Central Ottawa
 * 2. Sports teams in the area (Brewer Park/Arena) are labeled as Ottawa Centre ie OCMHA (Ottawa Centre Minor Hockey Association)
 * 3. Due to the expansion of the City of Ottawa it is no longer anywhere even close to the south of the city.

Old Ottawa East
Similarly to Old Ottawa South, Old Ottawa East is more central these days. Generally "East" Ottawa is east of the Rideau River. I've moved it to the downtown section. 74.101.157.178 08:46, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

Missing Centrepointe
The neighbourhood of Centrepointe seems to be missing from this list. I've added it in. Sail.not.swim 23:01, 16 December 2006 (UTC)


 * ech, never mind. its under Nepean. reverted. Sail.not.swim 23:04, 16 December 2006 (UTC)

Year
I think it would be nice to include the year that the neighbourhoods were built.Micro2 (talk) 15:59, 17 October 2011 (UTC)

Unreferenced populations
The Populations (old City of Ottawa) section includes 2011 and 2006 populations and area figures that are unreferenced. WP:CANSTYLE indicates, for starters, "Per WP:RS and WP:V, all population figures must be referenced." There are countless other unreferenced populations throughout the balance of the article as well. Per CANSTYLE, if valid sources aren't provided, unreferenced population figures must be removed from this article. As a fan of census, population counts and demography, it would be dissappointing to have to remove all the unreferenced figures. Will anyone step up to provide references from reliable sources to support the section above as well as the countless other figures? Hwy43 (talk) 06:12, 14 October 2012 (UTC)
 * I will, when I get the time. Sorry for not including them to begin with. It's just a matter of referencing the census tract(s) that more or less correspond to the neighbourhood. -- Earl Andrew - talk 13:52, 14 October 2012 (UTC)
 * Thanks for beginning. I've converted the external links to inline citations. As for the other sections with unreferenced population, I've added unreferenced section tags for now. I'll do some research at the StatCan website over the last few censuses to see if any can be validated. Hwy43 (talk) 20:13, 14 October 2012 (UTC)
