List of municipalities in Newfoundland and Labrador

Featured list candidates/List of municipalities in Newfoundland and Labrador/archive1

Nominator(s): Mattximus (talk) 20:01, 18 March 2020 (UTC) and Hwy43 (talk)[reply]

After a several year hiatus, we return with our 11th (out of 13) municipalities nomination with the goal of bringing the list of municipalities for every province and territory of Canada to featured status and eventual featured topic. We have created a standardized format and so far promoted Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Ontario, Alberta, British Columbia, Yukon, Nunavut, the Northwest Territories, Nova Scotia and New Brunswick. We have also taken suggestions from the previous 10 nominations into account for this nomination. All suggestions welcome and thanks for your input.

;Comments

I appreciate that this one does not have duplicate pages with cities/towns in redundant articles.
I like the map a lot

Thank Hwy43 for that one

The line about St. John's population and area is states twice within three sentences of each other at the end of the lead and start of cities

I believe the lead is considered independent of the body, and must summarize the body, no?

Yes, but avoid having the same sentence with the same words duplicated twice in a row.

I think I might be missing something but the St. John's population is mentioned twice. Once in the second to last sentence in the lead, and once again in the second sentence of the first section. These two sentences are similar but are not duplicated. Which is what the lead should do. Please let me know what I'm missing, this is pretty much standard on all pages I can think of...

How is this? I am partial to still somehow mentioning St. John’s status as provincial capital in the Cities section, so long as in a manner that duplicates how presented in the lead. Hwy43 (talk) 06:11, 23 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The BC list has a short paragraph about municipal elections and government, might be good to list something like that showing the difference between how cities and towns work

This is not terribly detailed. It follows the Municipal Elections Act which is simply mayor and councilors elected in a general election. No difference between town or city I believe. I added the slight difference in Inuit communities already (which is the same, but different terminology for mayor). What do you think?

Okay I looked at the act and it didn't seem very interesting. Reywas92^Talk 19:00, 21 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Perhaps have some notes on the distribution of municipalities, e.g. how many on Labrador vs Newfoundland

Added phrase on the 13 towns in Labrador, and all Inuit communities. Done
Scratch that, it wasn't in the source provided... hmm... Ok found the source, and it matches the map so it should be good. Done

"total population" would be better than "cumulative population" since it's a simple sum, not counting up from a certain point

Nice catch. Done

Surely there's a more interesting picture than that of Paradise

Traditionally we pick an image from the largest municipalities to place above the table, in this case I couldn't find *any* images of either Conception Bay South or Mount Pearl so had to go to the fourth and fifth largest, Corner Brook and Paradise. I'm more than happy to replace those images if something better is found.

Table is good
Link this in Template:Newfoundland and Labrador Done

Thanks for the quick comments! I've addressed all comments above, most are complete and a few require your input. Thanks again! Mattximus (talk) 21:39, 18 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The last change works fine, just felt weird reading the same facts twice in three sentences. Nice work, support! Reywas92^Talk 19:24, 23 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
