My rationale is the exact same as before; it is not in following with the ] of Misplaced Pages. What goes on, on the other languages is their business and their different guidelines. However we are on the English Misplaced Pages. Also the section which you are attempting to give undue weight, against the ] policy is already linked within the article during the part on its recent history. On this basis, I would revert an edit which would introduce undue weight.

The subject now has its very own article with all the information pertaining to it, where people such as yourself if you wish can write on it until their heart is content without messing up the correct MOS of the city guideline. - 02:56, 19 June 2008 (UTC)

::Well first of all, the article is not featured status in its "native language". People in Italy speak Italian not Spanish. Second of all, as I explained different languages on Misplaced Pages have different standards. What might pass on the Spanish Misplaced Pages might not pass on the English Misplaced Pages. Other parts of Misplaced Pages can't be used for rationale on such issues, in cases such as that comparisons are made to other Encyclopedia's and what weight is given, for example ] or ].

:::An equivelent example, would be you going to the ] article and starting up a section titled "7 July 2005 London bombings".

::I understand the concern that the waste management issue is recent (or at least that the growing concern over it is), but I think it is imperative to keep at least small section on the Naples page to direct people to the individual article about it. Its current placement in the history section does not seem right, given that "history" would imply the problem is a thing of the past. The point of Misplaced Pages, I believe, is to inform people! Whatever style guidelines are being argued, I would have to say I find the removal of information of this nature to be unacceptable. - ] (]) 21:34, 24 June 2008 (UTC)

Hi. Please could you kindly help me with your local knowledge? I am in the UK and have no local knowledge of Ottawa whatsoever. I was asked by some regular residents of ] to re-start the page for them, which I have done to the best of my somewhat basic ability. They were not involved in the previous 2007 deletion, by the way. They were to have taken over from thereon, but are currently too busy to do so, which leaves me temporarily stranded and attempting to continue with this page until they can do it properly in the summer.

So I should be most grateful if you could please kindly help by adding what you can to the infobox - as you see it's very small as my knowledge of local govt and postcodes is sparse. (The rest of the page I'll struggle on with as best I can, until the locals find it and start contributing).
