Hello Tourombah, I removed the inaccurate map from the article as you suggested. I also removed the information which was not in encyclopediac format, but I don't want that to stop you from expanding the article. Can I suggest to you that if you want to expand on the article that you have a look at a couple of other regions St George, New South Wales and Lower North Shore (Sydney) for ways that the information can be presented. References must be provided for facts. Let me know if you need a hand. Cheers. J Bar ( talk) 06:36, 29 March 2008 (UTC)
'Central North Region' is not a recognised region of Sydney. We can't just make new region names for certain parts. If a region name is in general use, then we can create it in wikipedia but we would need a number of references. If you can find some references for such a region then we can do it, but I suggest you hold off making widespread changes to all the Sydney suburb articles. J Bar ( talk) 11:35, 29 March 2008 (UTC)
Hello, I hope this suffices to prove the existance of the Central North Region of Sydney.

I have simply merged the lower and central northern Sydney region into one as there is no real finite boundary (like the boundary for the North shore being the Lane Cove river).
Thanks! —Preceding unsigned comment added by Tourombah ( talk • contribs) 11:43, 29 March 2008 (UTC)
I've moved the page to the Northern Suburbs (Sydney). Suggest we emulate existing Eastern suburbs page. I'll make the other changes to templates/categories and subburb articles, when I get a chance. I hope this is better than keeeping the suburbs in Upper/Lower North Shore. Cheers. J Bar ( talk) 12:45, 29 March 2008 (UTC)
Hi there. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. If you can't type the tilde character, you should click on the signature button located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your name and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you! -- SineBot ( talk) 12:06, 29 March 2008 (UTC)
Tourombah, you can't use the ABS references to say what you want them to say. All it shows is the way the ABS classifies its statistics data into regions in Sydney. It is not a reference for classifying the regions in Sydney as generally used and cannot be used as that. The mainstream media use the terms "North Shore" and "Hills District" depending on Local Government area, and the term "Northern Districts" is not used (apart from the local newspaper); the term "Northern Suburbs" is far too general to refer to anything useful - it may as well refer to anything north of the Parramatta River and south of the Hawkesbury. I know it might sound weird to think that suburbs such as Epping belong as "North Shore", but that is how they are referred to. We have already had this discussion two years ago, and I'm not up for another one to go over the same material (see here). The other sources on the page show nothing at all to prove that the term even exists. Touromba, you need to either find a source backing this up (a proper one that actually proves the point), or leave the regions as they are and develop the pages without resorting to made up names of regions. Your page and edits may be in good faith but if you are only editing on Wikipedia to insert your own names then that is being disruptive. JRG ( talk) 05:36, 30 March 2008 (UTC)
