Hi, Hwy43. I'm just posting to let you know that List of municipalities in Newfoundland and Labrador – a list that you have been heavily involved with – has been chosen to appear on the Main Page as Today's featured list for March 26. The TFL blurb can be seen here. If you have any thoughts on the selection, please post them on my talk page or at TFL talk. Regards, Giants2008 (Talk) 22:41, 3 March 2021 (UTC)
In the official websites of the few remaining Alberta MDs with No. in their titles you can clearly see that even they themselves omit the No., or at the very least don't hold it to be sacrosanct. The only one not is the Municipal District of Opportunity, but as they say the exception proves the rule. The numbers are not common name.

There is no sacrosanctity going on here. Your edits regarding rural municipality names are contrary to established consensus based on the fact that common names for all rural municipalities that subscribe to the "Brand of Name No. X" naming format is effectively impossible to confirm because of there being too many variants competing for common name status. And in the unlikely event some could be confirm, the confirmed common name formats can differ from one to another to another. Further, if there is an advanceable common name confirmation approach that is sufficient to overturn the current consensus, erring on the side of municipal graphic designers (re: logos) and/or website designers is not sufficient.
Please review the two conversations re: Alberta and Saskatchewan and the failed move request linked below to bring you up to speed on the consensus.
With that, I will be returning the two articles in question to their previous states in alignment with the established consensus. If you don't like it and want to revisit the current consensus, I suggest you raise discussions on WP:ALBERTA and WP:SASKCN. Debating it here is futile as only you and I will see the discussion and not the others with the same interests in the sets of articles. Cheers, Hwy43 (talk) 22:26, 19 March 2021 (UTC)

Hello Hwy43, I initiated the project and you spread the discussion.
We could discuss some of it here and bring any consensus we arrive at back to the discussions productively.

Hey there, I notice there was a very large edit to this list that I do not agree with, especially the random infobox, but nearly all other changes as well. I would like to revert the whole edit but wanted to hear what you think first? Change found here: . Mattximus (talk) 00:26, 5 August 2021 (UTC)

Hi... Again, one editor agreeing with you does not give you cover to override WP:EASTER. —Joeyconnick (talk) 22:22, 22 August 2021 (UTC)
Wondering why Blakemans Store is not mentioned. One of the oldest families in the area. Also Blakeman was first mayor of Black Diamond. And the oldest building. And still operating. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2001:56a:7866:5800:c43b:6c68:7f07:9458 (talk • contribs)
Not sure why information has been removed as information provided was from the County of Minburn No. 27. I have been employed by the County of Minburn No. 27 for 29 years. The CAO oversees all information and gave me the direction to add to our wikipedia to give factual historical information and current information. If you would like to contact him directly please let me know. I may be a new user to wikipedia but information provided is factual. I am asking that information previously submitted by me is unblocked. Any questions, I can direct you to our CAO Brent Williams.

I think this is another place created by kyle1278 that doesn't exist. If so, that's three (the other was Boundary Dam Lake, Saskatchewan but I took care of that one months ago). Makes me wonder how many others he created that aren't real. Masterhatch (talk) 00:58, 13 November 2021 (UTC)
This might interest you. G. Timothy Walton (talk) 04:11, 20 November 2021 (UTC)
Both are correct. Southwest is American and south-west (also south west) is Commonwealth English. Masterhatch (talk) 20:11, 21 November 2021 (UTC)
