Greater Vancouver/Metro Vancouver

You're wrong. Metro Vancouver is not the "common name" for Greater Vancouver; Greater Vancouver is. Metro Vancouver is the name of the regional government, but not even of the formal district boundaries its jurisdiction applies in; it's also a "rebranding" and a neologism that hasn't really caught on, despite being pushed by the Big Media. The list of airports, like the list of filming locations, is titled "n the Vancouver area" because places like Abbotsford and Chilliwack aren't in the Greater Vancouver Regional District, which is governed by the Metro Vancouver board (the board likes the name, no one else does except companies who want to use slogans like 'best in Metro", whether it's TO or Halifax or Vancouver being referred to). You were outta line in making that change.Skookum1 (talk) 12:31, 15 October 2009 (UTC)

NPOV

Is NPOV shown by "Removed somewhat silly redirect"? Without digging into the histories of the South London Lines' articles, I'd suggest that the unnecessary redirect came about (perhaps by inattention to detail, perhaps as the baby started howling, perhaps by who knows what?) when the Inner and Outer were put into articles whose names showed that rather than "A to B Line"s. After all, closer to home, for a List of Airports to include the word "airport" after every one is seemingly redundant.--SilasW (talk) 09:14, 18 July 2010 (UTC)

Soviet

I do not agree with your changes to the Soviet page. Soviet is the English transliteration of the Russian term Совет. Please discuss matter on talk page before further reversions.Harrypotter (talk) 09:44, 9 August 2010 (UTC)
