replies: text: This article is not just a geographic description of pre-amalagamation Halifax but is largely about the history of Halifax. While the Sambro lighthouse is a view on the horizon for the Sambro community, it was built by Halifax merchants for their trade and functioned as a landmark for the city and port. If your logic is followed, it should not be included in the Sambro article either as it is well outside the Sambro community being several miles out to sea.Letterofmarque (talk) 03:00, 23 January 2009 (UTC)

message: Something's wrong.  I'm sure it has almost nothing to do with this page, but I typed Halifax into the search box and almost didn't make it here.  I click on "Halifax, Nova Scotia" which seems perfectly like the thing I'm searching for, and it brings me to an extremely confusing page which makes me just want to give up. (The Halifax, Nova Scotia page seems to have totally lost something in the ability to navigate to what most people are likely to be searching for).  I was able to make it here due to persistence and a few guesses as a Canadian.  However the path here didn't seem intuitive at all.  Most others will just wonder why does Wikipedia go to such lengths to hide what seems to them to be one of Canada's important cities.  Now you may point out that other users may navigate to here using a slightly different way, but do remember that I knew exactly where I wanted to be, but yet still couldn't find it easily.  You may also point out that
this comment is probably better suited to another page, but this pertains to this page because it's difficult to ge here.  You may point out that there have been changes to what used to be the City of Halifax which may have made me navigate incorrectly, but in reality, all I wanted to do was end up here, where it talks about a place in Nova Scotia with a large metropolitan population (regardless of what it's officially called this decade).SunKing2 (talk) 01:05, 29 July 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Well the thing is there are more than one place called Halifax, Nova Scotia which is reason you are having trouble. The page you actually are at isn't actually the page you want as the city that this page is talking about no longer exists. The first link under municipalities on the Halifax, Nova Scotia page would have gotten you where you wanted to go. There no longer is a city of Halifax which is why you are probably confused, and why that page is layed out the way it is. There are no actual cities in the entire province of Nova Scotia anymore. Just regional municipalities. The page you are looking for is the Halifax Regional Municipality. While what was the old City of Halifax makes up part of what is now the HRM. What you will find on this page only will take you as far as when the city ceased to exist which was a decade and a bit ago and only encompases a small part of what is now Halifax geographically. Which may be fine for historical info on the previous Halifax. But if you want info on what is currently called Halifax, Nova Scotia (by people outside the province) you would go to that other page which was the first link on the Halifax, Nova Scotia page. -DJSasso (talk) 01:25, 29 July 2011 (UTC)
