Talk:Fallowfield, Ottawa

message: I have reverted the edit making Fallowfield a Hamlet.  I can understand why the edit occurred but the city of Ottawa and all historic documents call the "area", Fallowfield Village.  Similarly, Munster Hamlet has always been called such, yet probably has more residents than Fallowfield.  I'm not disputing the definition of village or hamlet in this instance.
I've also noticed that IP 76.68.96.183 is editing quite a bit in the Ottawa since Dec. 31st.  Why not register?  Glad you are editing and adding to the knowledge.  HeadSnap (talk) 16:01, 2 January 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: To be a "village", a community has to be a municipality in its own right, which has the legal status of village under the definitions given by the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing. Anything that isn't an independent municipality, but is instead part of a larger municipality, is not a village under law, and hence is not to be described as a village in Wikipedia no matter what people call it in informal usage. As an encyclopedia with verifiability requirements, we have to use the correct legal definitions of these terms. Bearcat (talk) 14:33, 26 March 2008 (UTC)
replies: text:  Thanks for the details I could not find, however, the links are broken and as such I cannot verify your statements.  Since all literature currently referenced denotes it as Fallowfield village, and the correct legal definition of the term isn't able to be referenced.... it's just your opinion.  I will revert the article (minus the typo fixes) but please correct the article when references/legal definitions are found such that all information meets verifiability requirements.

thread_title: Fallowfield a Village or Hamlet?

message: - move to Fallowfield, Ottawa.
As per WP:CANSTYLE#Neighbourhoods, this article should be moved to Fallowfield, Ottawa.  In accordance with the guideline, however, the move is first being raised on the talk page. --Skeezix1000 (talk) 13:33, 18 March 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes, you are absolutely correct.  There are currently a variety of approaches for disambiguating case names -- it's a real dog's breakfast.  If you look at the practice across Canadian articles, neighbourhoods (even rural communities) use a smorgasbord of approaches for article titles.  There is no consistency.  Some places use the province, others the municipality, some use an upper-tier region or county, others a descriptor (e.g. "Community (village)").  To further complicate matters, some use the bracket convention, others the comma convention (like this article).  It's a bad situation -- no one knew how to properly title an article on a neighbourhood or community.  There was a recent discussion over at the Canadian style guide, and the consensus was to put all neighbourhood and community articles at Neighbourhood, Municipality (assuming disambiguation is even necessary), unless the community was listed in the Canada Post database as being an independent postal location (in which case the title could be at Neighbourhood, Province).  I have just started going through the list of Ottawa neighbourhoods, identifying those that do not conform with the guideline and posting a note on the relevant talk pages.

thread_title: Proposed page move

message: The tornado in 2002 was actually a microburst - I witnessed the storm from my home in Barrhaven a few kilometres away, and while it was quite intense it was NOT tornadic.  I drove through Fallowfield around 7:00 PM, and saw the destruction.  What stood out to me was that the grass in the fields was blown down but pointing in the same direction.  This is a classic indication of a microburst.  Is there any official Environment Canada confirmation that a tornado touched down?  The link for Reference #11 is broken. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.242.181.158 (talk • contribs) 
Yes, the event was initially classified as a microburst but later upgraded to an F1 tornado.  I was driving in the middle of it when it came through and live in the village and had damage as a result but I'm no authority on how the event should be classified.  I did, at one time, find an Environment Canada page that indicated the classification as F1.  I will try to find it.  I am sad to find out Reference #11 is broken.  The Lanark Weather page had a great write up of the event and I also believe that's where some of the EC references were.  I will try to get the page updated with EC info or links.
