[edit] Factual Dispute: Designation of Road Code M1

First of all - I'm a newbie and this is the first time I've labelled an article like this. If I've done it wrong, please excuse me and fix it!

While I believe that the Bruce Highway is still part of National Highway 1, I know that in South-East Queensland (I think all of the Bruce Highway) has been re-designated to M1, rather than National Highway 1. I think this information needs to be updated on the article, in it's various images, as well as several other articles linking to, and relating to this topic. --DanielBC 10:14, 31 May 2006 (UTC)

It is still National Highway 1 and I had initially modified the images to represent this, then I took into account that at no stage is the route marked with the shield around it (to my knowledge), so that was why I had the basic A1 and M1 markers instead, to represent the route's signage. This is the same with the A2. MagpieShooter 05:48, 9 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Townsville and Thuringowa (Thuringowacityrep)

First of all, I take Townsville as the metropolitan area, and it consists of 2 City Councils, which is Townsville City and Thuringowa City.

Now if that is clear, I'll explain the removal. KISS. One won't say Bondi Beach is in Waverly instead they say in Syndey. Or the case for Homebush Bay. It's pretty much the same. It is meant to mean the metropolitan area, not City Councils.

And of course, this is to be solved in Townsville and Thuringowa pages, not a Highway which pass through. Before the dispute is solved there, please users don't add Thuringowa without an valid reason in other pages like this. It's not like I want to be biased, but keep the discussion/dispute on one place first, before changing everything and create the same disputes on other pages.

Other than that, there's also another reason. This is not a competition of what's to be in the list and what's not. Pine Rivers Shire has lots more people - 143,000 residents. And yet it is also not included.

hi WikiTownsvillian (Talk | contribs) can you tell me Why you changed what i did i'm finding that Wikipedia is full of people that are very one sided i bet if you lived in Thuringowa it would be ok to add the very minor things i do. i dont put any crap in here only facts and i was just told that Thuringowa should get listed but not in the info bar so i did, and now you come along again and remove the FACTS that i put in here....i can't wait to edit Townsville.. i have a large amount of info here now form all over Australia and there is some stuff on the Townsville page that is very incorrect a lot of it seems to be POV. so can you please tell me why you change it again thank you (Thuringowacityrep)
