Familypedia talk:Classification conventions (geographic names)

Excellent work so far! — Robin Patterson (Talk) 05:14, 18 July 2009 (UTC)

Unitary authorities
New Zealand is not alone in having authorities that act at two levels. Gisborne, Marlborough, Nelson, and Tasman district or city councils are definitely elected as territorial authorities in the same way (with Mayors, for example) as the other 50 or so, but they are also regional councils in all respects where a regional council is required. The project page should state which level(s) Familypedia should give such authorities. — Robin Patterson (Talk) 05:14, 18 July 2009 (UTC)

Split counties
Where an old county or other unit that has now been split is the only known location of an event, people will be unable to specify the current entity. Is that a case for using "other"? — Robin Patterson (Talk) 05:14, 18 July 2009 (UTC)
