move to Regional Municipality of Niagara, Ontario

If anyone's interested, please comment on the message I left at Wikipedia:Canadian wikipedians' notice board/discussion#Mass-move of Ontario Regional Municipality pages. Thanks. --Qviri 06:16, 1 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

what goes here? what goes in Niagara Peninsula?

Hey,

if anyone has any ideas as to what kind of material would go in this article and what should be in Niagara Peninsula instead, you're more than welcome to share them.

The Peninsula article already has some history in it. I think it is well-suited there, but I don't believe this article should be just a cold demographics article... After all, Regional Niagara is a very much living organism. --Qviri 01:25, 26 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Perhaps some regional words or slang could be included here. I'm from Grimsby originally, but live in Vancouver now, and can routinely pick out people from "The Reg" (reej) by their speech. Some words and terms I've discovered which seem to be common only to the Niagara Region are "the Mountain" referring to the escarpment, "Half-Quarter" referring to one-eighth of an ounce of marijuana, "The Two-Four" referring to Victoria Day (though this seems to have spread to the rest of Southern Ontario), as well as changing 's' to 'sh' in some words (Nice! and Sweet! are two that come to mind). I never realized it when I was there, but there is a definite accent to many people from The Niagara Region.

The Mountain is more of a Hamilton thing, really. Might have spread to Grimsby, but I don't think it's popular in St. Catharines. May two-four is pretty universal in Ontario these days. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 74.109.173.23 (talk) 22:41, 10 January 2007 (UTC).[reply]

What happened to history?

The area that is now called the Regional Municipality of Niagara is renowned in Canada for its history. So where is it? Life didn't start in 1970. This is an encyclopedia. Expand! All wikipedia articles covering this region are incomplete. --Oldontarian (talk) 06:21, 13 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned references in Regional Municipality of Niagara

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Regional Municipality of Niagara's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Reference named "cp2001":

From Lanark County: "Population and Dwelling Counts, for Canada, Provinces and Territories, and Census Divisions, 2001 and 1996 Censuses".
From Haliburton County: "Population and Dwelling Counts, for Canada, Provinces and Territories, and Census Divisions, 2001 and 1996 Censuses". 2001 Census. Statistics Canada.
From Hastings County: Statistics Canada 2001 Census - Hastings County

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT ⚡ 07:13, 9 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
