Bypasses

I was looking at the transportation map from the city's most recent official plan, which has "proposed" ramps in both the southwest and northeast corners. I suppose the MTO might have different ideas than the city does, but that's what my source was. Bearcat 00:26, 10 April 2007 (UTC)

No problems. I found the map fascinating; some of the proposed roads are hilarious. (If they want a road from Laurentian to Lo-Ellen, why don't they just widen the bikepath that already goes from the athletic facilities to Loach's instead of building that silly thing? And what's with the Maley-Notre Dame interchange?) And thanks to you too...I didn't even know they had a web page up for the bypass project. Bearcat 03:04, 10 April 2007 (UTC)

WikiProject Furry

Looking for something to do? WikiProject Furry is improving articles on furry and anthropomorphic topics, and we'd like to have you on board. Our current goal is to raise Anthrocon, furry convention and furry fandom to good article status and beyond - but if that doesn't take your fancy, there are plenty of other articles to work on. Give it a go and let us know how you're doing! You received this one-time invitation because you are a Furry Wikipedian. GreenReaper 23:15, 28 July 2007 (UTC)

Walden, etc.

It was a matter of stub reduction — it's honestly better to have six longer articles about the various communities in the city rather than 40 or 50 three-line stubs that didn't have any actual references and mostly couldn't ever be expanded much beyond their existing length. There was also a request on the main city article's talk page to expand the Walden/Valley East/Rayside-Balfour, etc., articles. Bearcat (talk) 21:50, 29 November 2007 (UTC)

I've already whittled down some of the old-city neighbourhoods where I could — Robinson + Lockerby + Lo-Ellen = South End (would McFarlane Lake go there too, or is it generally considered a separate thing?), Barrydowne, Lebel and Nickeldale into New Sudbury, etc. But there were also some where I wasn't sure of the best way to proceed — there aren't any immediately obvious merge targets for things like Donovan or Gatchell or Copper Cliff. Bearcat (talk) 22:03, 29 November 2007 (UTC)

I should mention that in this particular circumstance, I don't think merging them all into one stub article at the title "Sudbury, Ontario" would be the best solution, because a lot of people still don't understand how the government structure has changed, and would just blindly link to the old title as if it were the article on the current city. An alternative title would be suitable (maybe repurpose the existing List of communities in Greater Sudbury?), but for now I still think the Sudbury, Ontario title should be left as a redirect. Bearcat (talk) 22:11, 29 November 2007 (UTC)

Heh, almost finished doing exactly that — especially since merging all the community articles up to the old municipalities basically made the list redundant anyway. However, I've opted to move the list to the new title Urban neighbourhoods of Sudbury since that's a more accurate reflection of what it now contains, and also gets it as close to the naming format of the other articles as possible without actually tripping over the redirect issue. I'm in the process of fixing the redirects now. Bearcat (talk) 00:23, 30 November 2007 (UTC)

The only question left now is Wanup, since it was a new annexation that wasn't part of any incorporated municipality prior to 2001. At the same time, though, it looks kind of odd for Wanup to be the only community-level part of the city that has its own article instead of being merged into one of the omnibus articles. What do you think — should we leave it as a standalone article, or should we cheat and merge it into one of the municipal lists anyway? Bearcat (talk) 00:37, 30 November 2007 (UTC)
