Wikiproject: Nova Scotia
Hello, I was just noticing that you added yourself to the wikiproject participants list. I just wanted to know where you asked to join? I have no problems with you joining in fact, let me be the first to say welcome to the wikiproject, before you get started it would be good to leave a message on the Project Talk Page or on WayeMason's talk page as he started this project in the first place. Anyways, I'm glad you've joined the group! Theyab 21:05, 11 March 2006 (UTC)

Help with RFC
Hello fellow WikiProject_Nova_Scotia member. I have recently lodged a Request for Comments on the Talk:Halifax, Nova Scotia page. I and several other editors have had a running dispute with user Lonewolf BC. The RFC is This is a dispute about whether it is accurate to continue to refer to the area of or approximately coinciding with the boundaries of the City of Halifax, which became a part of the rural/urban Halifax Regional Municipality in 1996,  as a city.

Basically, as I say on the RFC, we all agree that this is no longer a City, but to use former City's boundaries when describing the current urban area as a "city" (note the lower case) is at best arbitrary and at worst a fabrication. The city is now a continuous area that wraps the harbour, from Portuguese Cove (outside of the city of Halifax to the west and south) to Cole Harbour (outside of the former City of Dartmouth to the east). People now refer to the entire urban area of Halifax Regional Municipality as 'the city' and 'Halifax'.

Anyway, the bottom line is at least five people have tried to change the wording of the intro since January, and every time this one user changes it back. I have tried to come up with compromise wording, and he won't dialog. Right now wikipedia says HRM and Halifax are the capital of Nova Scotia. This article is now factually incorrect, in my opinion, and I need your help, please chime in. WayeMason 23:06, 7 April 2007 (UTC)
