Second language in first sentence

Nouvelle-Brunswick is Canada's only bilingual province, see Demographics of New Brunswick. French is closely associated with New Brunswick per WP:FORLANG. The French equivalent name should be kept in the lead sentence. Marnevell (talk) 04:29, 12 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

It's Nouveau-Brunswick, not Nouvelle-Brunswick. Not to be confused with Nouvelle-Écosse. While the subject should be given due treatment in the lead, I say leave it out of the first sentence per WP:NOTDIC. --Cornellier (talk) 13:26, 12 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

It's not currently mentioned in the article, and I'm not sure how it would be worked in outside of the standard second-language Wikipedia notation. How would you write that? Marnevell (talk) 18:50, 12 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Restore history before 1784

I would question the first of several edits by Cornellier on Nov.24, which deleted the entire history section prior to the establishment of the Province of New Brunswick in 1784. Most historians and most articles in Wikipedia consider that the history of an area goes back as far our knowledge goes, even if the name and status of the area have changed. The History sections of the USA article and the Canada article do not start in 1776 and 1867 respectively.

The edit summary of this deletion reads "start history when NB came into existence rather than repeating what is written in so many other places in WP". Yes, there are more detailed articles on some aspects of the history of NB. But I still think that this article should contain a summary of the complete history of the area which is now NB, starting from the arrival of the first known indigenous inhabitants, with more detail in other more specialized articles. I propose that we restore the pre-1784 history. What do others think? Dirac66 (talk) 23:02, 2 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed. I have restored that content. Nikkimaria (talk) 02:11, 3 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Dispute about Infobox content

An issue has come up: should the infobox to this article contain the field "government_type", filled in with "Parliamentary constitutional monarchy". Since this issue affects all ten provinces and the three territories, a Request for Comment has been started on the Canadian Wikipedians Notice Board. If you interested in this issue, please come to the Notice Board and contribute to the discussion. Mr Serjeant Buzfuz (talk) 00:29, 3 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Population density

Just noticed that the sidebar is listing • Density 10.86/km2 (28.1/sq mi) - How you're getting MORE square miles out of LESS square KM is astounding. I tried editing it to no avail. The answer should be 4.19 sq mi. This may be an error with the formula that generates the value, as there's no way that I can tell at least, of editing that directly. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 142.166.236.70 (talk) 08:44, 12 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Nevermind - conversion of people per sq km will have a larger density since a square mile is bigger. 142.166.236.70 (talk) 09:07, 12 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
