Talk:South Wairarapa District

Untitled
We may want to convert this to the "district" rather than the territorial authority. Most other councils seem to have their cities or districts as the name of the page. I won't mind if someone gets in and does it - but change the link to it accordingly. :robinp 08:19, 18 Mar 2004 (UTC)
 * I've changed the page content to make the TA a component rather than the subject of the page. I haven't tidied all the links yet (I just left the existing ones as they were).  I think this TA is a little different to most others because it is not centred on one or even two towns or districts as its identity.   Anyway I hope the changes help address the concern.  --Januarian (talk) 10:06, 9 September 2008 (UTC)

Regional status
Some bias should be removed here. Featherston and most of the Wairarapa have always lain in Wellington, either as a province or the modern region. The article is very POV on this subject. Enzedbrit 11:25, 14 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Revisions since your comment seem to have addressed this. However, I have crafted some words that show the close links between the district and Wellington.  I think the wording now is more reflective of the current reality/practice.  Implying that Featherston is primarily part of Wellington and only weakly related to Wairarapa is a difficult position to sustain.  There are numerous combinations of living, working, and using services that don't support that argument.  Just one example is the Wairarapa District Health Board.  --Januarian (talk) 10:06, 9 September 2008 (UTC)
