Merge from Mount Richardson (New Zealand, Otago)

[edit]

Moved to here from Talk:Mount Richardson (New Zealand, Southland)

Mount Richardson (New Zealand, Otago) appears to be the same as this. The coordinates provided are the same and the location is clearly in Southland and not Otago. Apart from the duplication, the article is essentially unsourced and based purely on synthesis from primary sources. olderwiser 14:55, 22 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I've merged the articles; have done the same on ceb.WP so that the Wikidata items can be merged, too. The confusion stems from the fact that LINZ reports its data with regards to survey districts, and the survey district boundaries are often very different from the boundaries used by the regional councils. That is the case here; the hill is located in the Otago survey district and, as far as local government is concerned, in the Southland Region. Schwede66 11:13, 26 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
