[edit] Boundaries
Are we sure of the boundaries mentioned in the #Geography section? They don't appear to tally with the 2006 StreetSmart... Gordon | Talk, 5 November 2006 @07:23 UTC
OK, I see. We have a locality article where a general info (non-political) article about the LGA should be. So the boundaries are correct. The article is wrong. Gordon | Talk, 5 November 2006 @07:30 UTC
- The LGA article is at the City of Stirling - see infobox. Checked StreetSmart 2006 and 2007, boundaries are as described. Out of curiosity, why is a map of the LGA now in the suburb article as well? Orderinchaos78 (t|c) 10:36, 5 November 2006 (UTC)

- Because I've tried to put an LGA map into every article which talks about a given geographic area -- it used to be that each LGA had one article, with separate articles about each locality. Now, some LGA's have two articles: one for the "City/Town/Shire of ..." and one for "..., Western Australia", plus the locality articles. It is obvious now that Stirling is still one of the former class (only one article about the LGA). Gordon | Talk, 5 November 2006 @12:01 UTC

- I'm not sure how this is "obvious" - it is clearly, to me, related to the locality (eg neighbouring suburbs, history, 52% Southern European etc), while there is a separate LGA page taking on the local government side of the equation. I know it is very confusing when the LGA takes on the name of a locality, as has happened in most of WA - Melbourne largely avoid this problem by having names for LGA's which are completely different.

- I have removed the City of Stirling locator map. This just creates confusion, as this article is about Stirling the suburb, not the City of Stirling. A map that showed just the suburb, or the suburb within the City, would be good for this article. Hesperian 00:20, 6 November 2006 (UTC)
- Just had an idea - any chance of the LGA map with a lighter colour for the LGA, with the location of the suburb marked with a black or red dot, for the suburbs? I think that could actually be quite useful. Now if only there was a way to automate this so we don't end up stuck with 400 little maps that have to be redone when they change the boundaries...
