Talk:South Dunedin

Suggestions
Here are a few suggestions for potential article improvement:
 * I believe you have clearly defined suburb boundaries in Dunedin (unlike here in Christchurch). If I'm right, I suggest you should at least describe the boundary roads, or better still include a map with the article.  Schwede 66  18:55, 16 February 2013 (UTC)
 * You could identify those buildings that are listed with the New Zealand Historic Places Trust. Have a look at the City Mall, Christchurch example.
 * There used to be a railway line that went through the suburb towards St Clair, I believe. You can still see the corridor in Timaru Street and Royal Crescent, and there's all the historic railway stuff sitting south of Victoria Road these days. This deserves a mention.
 * I'm not sure what the scope is of the article. Is it the suburb, or is it the wider area? At first, I had the impression that it's the suburb, but later on, I wasn't sure any longer. The section on Kensington could certainly form a free-standing article; it having its own entry in the Dunedin suburbs template would certainly support that.
 * I suggest you make use of citation templates. Some refs are quite skinny, and I'm not sure that it's acceptable like that for GA class.  Schwede 66  19:30, 16 February 2013 (UTC)
 * Thanks for that - I'll make a start on those changes. As to the definition of the suburb, yes and no. South Dunedin certainly had boundaries when it was a separate borough, but the term is far more general now, with no well-defined boundaries. The area south of Victoria road would definitely be regarded as St. Kilda rather than South Dunedin though, as that was a separate borough until only a handful of years ago and is still fairly well defined.

 * I've separated out the Kensington section into a separate article, added a few details from the NZHPT listings, and explained about the boundaries or lack of them. I'll deal with the rest when I've got a bit more time. Cheers, Grutness...wha?  00:55, 17 February 2013 (UTC)

This would've been a front page headline on ODT. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 183.171.169.127 (talk) 11:31, 30 April 2013 (UTC)
