Talk:Auckland City

message: I do not know who put in the two images "360 Auckland.jpg" and "auckland city skyline.jpg" but i have removed them as one was covering the text box on the right and the other was covering text in one of the sections. This was done as a minor edit to clean up the page.

message: I've restored the section with the two entries. It had been reverted incorrectly as being just a single entry. Both are independently notable, Wiki-linked, and properly cited. I left the expansion tag because it does need more entries, which should not be too hard to find if someone wants to go digging. Bullzeye contribs 21:00, 28 January 2009 (UTC)

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: The land area of 637 sq km has been removed from the info box, with the edit summary:
:"Removed area total, cannot find an accurate size of total area of the Old Auckland City but the given size is completely incorrect, if you look at the size of urban auckland given on the wikipedia article for auckland council/auckland region it's actually smaller yet Auckland city was a smaller entity than the modern urban auckland area so this is implausible, 637km2 is also far too large although I'm unable to find a proper size."
The edit summary is incorrect as it is unaware that the Hauraki Gulf islands made up most of the land area. This archived Auckland City Council page says, "The city, suburbs and gulf islands cover an area of 637km2." I haven't found a clearer and non-defunct reliable source, so have not restored the deleted figure. I suspect there are printed publications in libraries that have the info.

replies: text: I think Auckland City Council is an excellent reference for the area it governed, so the figure should be reinstated with the archived reference Nurg found.-gadfium 00:46, 9 November 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: arcgis gives the Auckland City area as 629.41 km2 (open the "Territorial Authority" heading and select "Territorial Authority - 2010"). As the boundary lines of coasts and rivers get tweaked every few years, that's confirmation that 637 km2 is likely to have been correct.-gadfium 00:54, 9 November 2023 (UTC)

text: I'm guessing this is because the Auckland City wasn't just the isthmus, but the Hauraki Gulf islands as well. --Prosperosity (talk) 04:03, 9 November 2023 (UTC)
thread_title: Deleted measure of land area was probably correct
