Merge

Several weeks after I created the article "Regions of New South Wales", I discovered somebody else had written a similar entry "Geographical Divisions of New South Wales". These entries have overlapping scope and should probably be merged one of these days. For the time being, I have added a link from each to the other.Ha! You're crazy!!!

I agree the two should be merged--Matilda ^talk 02:51, 16 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

You missed Narromine as it's in the orana region of New South Wales 119.18.2.163 (talk) 10:23, 13 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

See discussion at Talk:Geographic Divisions of New South Wales

The merger has worked well and the article is now a very good one. Well done. -- Mattinbgn\^talk 21:04, 21 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

- Still needs more work but gives a start for referencing articles on regions. We particularly need to wikilink the region articles we already have here but not quite sure in which part of the article - certainly don't want to overlink. --Mannjsadfnjahfkhjkfhakjkdtilda ^talk 21:09, 21 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

No links to regions

There are many wikipedia entries for the various regions already, and no links to them from this page. Eregli bob (talk) 07:19, 6 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Feel free to fix :-) --Matilda ^talk 21:30, 6 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I don't like this sentence

" New South Wales is divided by numerous regional boundaries, based on different characteristics."

I think this is quite wrong. Many of the regional concepts have no clear-cut boundaries. Many of the regions can be identified by the major towns which are the centres of those regions, and not by the boundaries between them, which are in many cases arbitrary, obscure and not necessarily meaningful in any geographic or cultural sense.

Informal Divisions and Newcastle and The Hunter

In the Informal divisions of New South Wales table it seems the Newcastle/Lake Macquarie region is missing, with Newcastle seemingly missing altogether as a sub-region. In addition, it does not make sense that Hunter is under the Central Coast. To me there should be an additional Region Name (Newcastle/Hunter perhaps?) that covers Newcastle, Lake Macquarie and the Hunter. — Preceding unsigned comment added by PappyBe (talk • contribs) 01:27, 31 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Agree, there's no sense in which Newcastle or the Hunter is in the Central Coast. Newystats (talk) 05:42, 10 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
