[edit] Moved and merged

There were two pages, "Hawke's Bay" and "Hawke's Bay region" - the latter a stub. I combined them and moved them here, to avoid confusion with Hawke Bay (i.e., the bay itself). Grutness 09:31, 22 Nov 2004 (UTC)

General Wikipedia policy is not to disambiguate in the article title unless and until it is necessary. Since Hawke's Bay and Hawke Bay are different, we don't need the (region) after Hawke's Bay. On the other hand, I can see how it could be confusing so after moving the article back to Hawke's Bay I've put disambiguation messages at the top of both articles.

[edit] Spelling of article title

The article says it's about the local government region and also says that the official spelling is without an apostrophe. In that case, shouldn't the article title be Hawkes Bay with Hawke's Bay redirecting to it, rather than the other way around as now? 66.96.28.244

[edit] Link correction

Link labled "Hawkes Bay Official Site" is an private citizen's creation of a portal page. I added a link to the Hawke's Bay EDA site that links to all the council websites in the Hawkes Bay region.

[edit] Image

I have uploaded a new image for Hawkes Bay (Image:Hawkes Bay NZ.jpg) to wikicommons and categoried the existing ones: see commons:Category:Hawke's Bay. Maybe one of them would be a good image for this page. I have never been there, so I'll leave it upto someone else to decide.--Konstable 13:30, 10 June 2006 (UTC) Bold text
