Talk:List of cities and towns in Bangladesh

message: What is the crieterion for assigning cities in Bangladesh? As far as I know, most of these "cities" here are designated as "towns" by the government, and that too isn't an official designation. It could be a list of metropolitan areas in Bangladesh or municipalities in Bangladesh or something like that. It is not acceptable that Bhola town (pop. 39,964) should be cited as a city in a country of 140 million people. I think this article deserves an "AfD", or atleast a serious "cleanup". - Aditya Kabir 17:10, 8 November 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I cannot agree with your assertions. Cities and towns are incorporated areas that are under the jurisdiction of Municipal bodies (Corporations, municipalities, boards etc.). The designation is official, NOT an arbitrary one. The areas under such cities and towns are clearly demarcated and the administration/tax structure etc are separate from that of the District. Bhola town is officially designated as a city, and it is regardless of the size of the total population of the country. Geographic places are always encyclopedic by themselves, and the information about cities is verifiable; therefore it is completely wrong to assume these "deserve an afd".  Thank you. --Ragib 22:45, 9 November 2006 (UTC)

Talk:List of counties of New Brunswick

message: Some issues of accuracy and amplification:
* Counties began incorporating as municipalities in the mid-nineteenth century. 
* Parishes were never "subdivided into municipalities"; incorporated municipalities were an overlay whose territory was still legally part of the parish they were in.
**The sole exception was Grand Falls, and the parish was separated from the municipality, not the other way around, in 1912.
* I think municipalities had seats on the county councils but I don't have a reference available. This still does not count as parishes being subdivided into municipalities.
* The distinction of either municipality or parish is a census usage, not a legal one.
* Parishes were referred to as "parish or town" in their erecting legislation at least through the 1870s. I'm currently in the 1870s in transcribing Acts of the General Assembly affecting parishes and should have the exact year the practice in the near future.
* Saint John was a chartered city and originally the county was The City and County of Saint John in government legislation. I can find the date when that changed if you wish.
* Fredericton was originally a parish.
* Counties have no effect on real estate taxation.
* Albert county was formed only from Westmorland County. Saint John's eastern boundary was moved back to match King's and Queen's in 1837. (Chapter 35 in that year's Acts of the Assembly, available from Canadiana.ca and Google Books as a free download.)
* Charlotte County's shire town is legally spelt Saint Andrews, not St. Andrews. Refer to Regulation 85-6 and the town's official website, not the tourist St. Andrews by the Sea site. St. Andrews currently links to a redirect page.
* Victoria's shire town is Perth-Andover, not "Andover, now part of Perth-Andover" (R.S. 1973, Chapter T-3, available on the GNB website)
* Technically, the shire towns of Kent, Kings, Queens, Sunbury, and Westmorland were the parishes, not the towns. Wikilinks should be changed accordingly. Footnotes might be a good idea. (Again, R.S. 1973, Chapter T-3)
