Talk:Parishes of Jamaica

message: from User_talk:Tobias Conradi
Hi. Ive noticed a couple of your edits the the Parishes of Jamaica article, and see that you have renamed all the parishes. For example, Saint Elizabeth, Jamaica is moved to Saint Elizabeth Parish, Jamaica. I wanted to check with you first before changing anything. Is there a particular reason for this?
The parish is called "Saint Elizabeth" and "Jamaica" was used at the end to indicate that it was in Jamaica. Its not ideal to put "Saint Elizabeth Parish", into the title (its like saying Texas State, America which not only sounds awkward, but does not necessarily comply with the Wikipedia:Naming conventions/Wikipedia:Naming conventions (city names) ). The ideal thing to do was to probably rename them including "Parish" in brackets (eg "Saint Elizabeth (Parish)" etc. Any thoughts on this?  Oran e  (t) (c) (@) 04:30, 11 November 2005 (UTC)

message: Yes, they are used very frequently, and not just political divisions. If someone asks "Where are you from", the standard answer is "Portlant" etc.
Well, there are many countries with the same parish names, but thats why the Jamaica was located at the end of each;to show its in Ja. St Mary (Jamaican Parish) should not be used as it does not comply with Wikipedia:Naming conventions— no adjectives in title.
After closer thought, Ive realised that maybe the name change is OK. I can see Tobias Conradi 's point. The first name worked fine, but this ones works too. Oran e  (t) (c) (@) 21:21, 11 November 2005 (UTC)

message: The stated population and area does not match from different articles about places in Jamaica. For example Parishes of Jamaica chart gives the figure 555,828 population and 430.7 sq km area for St. Andrew and states it's from 2001 census. - Saint Andrew Parish, Jamaica page gives 540,715 population and 455 sq km area. This is not the only Jamaica article with non-matching figures.
I don't know myself which is correct otherwise I would change it Carlwev Carlwev 11:56, 5 May 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: Template

message: I just tagged the article with . The article focuses solely on the historical counties. The Parishes are mentioned only incidentally. As each counties is the union of Parishes, it seems like an article focused solely on them is worthwhile. I will wait for some period of time (days, weeks, months?). If no further input is given for this low-traffic article, I will just move it myself. Jason Quinn (talk) 16:00, 2 April 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: Perhaps "Counties and Parishes of Jamaica" is a better title. This is in light of the contents and naming of the naxbox . Jason Quinn (talk) 19:05, 2 April 2015 (UTC)

text: I don't know what you mean by it 'focuses solely on the counties'. It has a map of the parishes; it has demographic and geographic data on the parishes; and it mentions former parishes. The counties are mentioned only as groupings of parishes. --Golbez (talk) 19:06, 2 April 2015 (UTC)
thread_title:  Propose move to "Counties of Jamaica" 

message: Can someon make this a more general page on administrative subdivisions?  I see the infobox says that there are cities, towns and villages under the parish level, which seems to imply that they are more than settlements, that they actually have their own local governments.  If this is the case, this needs to be fleshed out on both this page and Jamaica's main page. --Criticalthinker (talk) 13:44, 15 August 2016 (UTC)
