Talk:North Shore (Sydney)

message: I am a bit disturbed by the opening paragraph claiming that "North Shore" or "Northern Suburbs" are both terms used to describe either the area from Middle Harbour to Lane Cove or the whole northern area. I have only ever heard North Shore refer to a smaller area, and "Northern Suburbs" generally refers to the larger area. I don't know why WikiCats originally added the "Northern Suburbs" reference, but I assume J Bar added the whole northern area comment because Northern Suburbs was mentioned. I would like to remove references to northern suburbs and the larger area, or at least spell out how each term is usually used. JPD (talk) 12:17, 10 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: This is a strange double standard. You had no reference for the very strange inclusion of "Northern Suburbs" in the article, and yet you say we need a reference to remove it. Of course there is no reference for the "exact area" because it is not an exact area. A simple google search makes it clear that "northern suburbs" is usually used to describe the bigger area, but this doesn't count as a reliable source, so we will have to work a bit harder.

text: You insisted that I have a reference before removing your unsourced addition. That is not the way it should be, but maybe that is not what you meant. If something has no references and you think it is not true, you remove it. Otherwise, if it is not referenced, then look for references. I am confident that references do exist for most of this stuff, just that they are not easy to find. You are dreaming if you think the regions are the result of a single person's imagination, rather than natural usage over decades. We need to find references documenting this natural usage. The borders are not well defined, but that doesn't make them imaginary. How about we find some references, instead of talking about it. JPD (talk) 12:18, 11 August 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: North Shore or Northern Suburbs

message: This article should be considered a stub, as these is insufficient material on the history of development in the North Shore. 
External links also need to be added so that people wishing to analyse the historical dynamics of the North Shore can use Wikipedia as a base to navigate the net. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 60.241.176.209 (talk) 12:16, 29 March 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Needs more work

message: As Macquarie Park, North Ryde, North Epping, Cheltenham, Pennant Hills, etc, aren't on the North Shore by any definition that I am familiar with.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 59.167.245.14 (talk) 09:41, 28 February 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Removed Macquarie Park 

message: Try any real estate guide, suburbs from Waitara to Berowra are considered to be Upper North Shore not Northern Sydney. You visit these areas and there are many shops called North Shore so and so. So I think that suburbs like Asquith etc were too readily removed. The person who edited said it was "commonly understood" that the North Shore ends at the F3 at Wahroonga, however, it is also commonly understood that it ends at Berowra. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 120.16.234.32 (talk) 04:21, 15 February 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  North Shore does not end at Wahroonga 

message: I have removed Waitara and Hornsby as it is generally acknowledged, as is indicated here, that the Upper North Shore constitutes the Ku-ring-gai council area only.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by MonicaDanielleK (talk • contribs) 07:00, 1 January 2012 (UTC)
