• The "one third" in the third paragraph of the lead could use a hyphen.
• The duplicate Canada 2011 Census links in the Towns, Villages, and Rural communities (x2) sections should be removed.

Hmm not sure what you mean here. Are you saying just leave one of the links, maybe at the end of the paragraphs? Mattximus (talk) 22:50, 6 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I believe Giants2008 is referring to WP:OVERLINK, which I have just resolved. Hwy43 (talk) 08:53, 7 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• The List of municipalities section title could be shortened to just the last word, as List of is redundant when the name of the article says there's a list.

Can we change it simply to "List" per the explanation in my edit summary?Hwy43 (talk) 08:53, 7 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• A couple photo captions here could use hyphens for "second largest" and "third largest".

• Source review – Source reliability looks good, and the links all work according to the link-checker tool (which coughs a little at the sight of XLSX files, from the looks of it). Formattting also looks good for the most part; the only thing I'd change is spelling out the abbreviation in the publisher of ref 2, if it can be spelled out.

Likewise, thank you! Hwy43 (talk) 08:53, 7 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• First sentence needs comma after Canada

Sorry, but no pause is necessary in that location, and therefore a comma is superfluous. Hwy43 (talk) 02:11, 18 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I disagree, but of course I'm not going to oppose over a single comma. --Jakob (talk) aka Jakec 02:14, 18 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• "population of at least ten thousand" "population of fifteen hundred or more" - I think that should be 10,000 and 1,500 (or 10000 and 1500, if you prefer)

Changed. Mattximus (talk) 21:58, 17 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• The list looks odd with images hanging in the empty space above the list. I realize it's not easy to find a good place to put them, but it looks strange. Perhaps make a gallery or embed them in the table itself (like I do with my lists)?

This is been an issue that is brought up before. I sympathize with the formatting, but it turns out it only occurs with users who have small screens or low resolution. The problem can be fixed by zooming out just a bit in your browser. The reason we do not make use of the gallery is to be consistent with the other 13 lists which all have the same formatting. I hope this explanation is sufficient justification for our placement choice. Mattximus (talk) 21:58, 17 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, I just noticed it only does that on my laptop, not my desktop. No problem. --Jakob (talk) aka Jakec 23:21, 17 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• "New Brunwsick has 8 cities, 26 towns, 65 villages, 1 regional municipality, and 8 rural communities" - not supported by ref 4. Interestingly, ref 2 claims 7 rural communities, not 8.

Great catch, found the official list and changed the number from 8 to 7 (which matches with our list). Mattximus (talk) 21:58, 17 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. This is where the error was introduced. The other errors elsewhere have been fixed. Hwy43 (talk) 02:33, 18 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• "Saint John was the first municipality in what would later become the province of New Brunswick to incorporate, in 1785" - not supported by ref 6 or 7.

Another good catch. Made the link specific to the city of Saint John. Mattximus (talk) 21:59, 17 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Didn't realize how awkward this sentence reads. I'm going to fix it. Also, it was the first community in Canada to incorporate as a city. The reference doesn't confirm first "municipality" in New Brunswick, but the fact that it was the first city in Canada therefore infers first "city" in NB.

Thanks for your review. Please let us know if there is anything else that is needed to gain your support. Mattximus (talk) 21:58, 17 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• "In 1785, Saint John became the first community to incorporate as a city in what would eventually become Canada." - if you mean that it's the first city in Canada, rather than that it's the first city, and also is in Canada, then it may read better as "In 1785, Saint John became the first community in what would eventually become Canada to incorporate as a city."
• "with 70,063 as of the 2011 census" - with 70063 whats? 70,063 residents, presumably
• "New Brunswick's smallest smallest city by population (7,385) is Campbellton" - since you just said that it takes 10k people to be a city, should explain if it got grandfathered in or lost a lot of population or what.
• Same with Hartland in towns.
• That's about it! Pretty solid overall. I'll add on a source review tonight or tomorrow. If you found this review helpful, consider optionally reviewing my World Fantasy Convention Award nomination up above. --PresN 22:41, 16 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the review! I've made all changes and found the line in the municipal act that states "The inhabitants of the cities and towns in existence on January 1, 1967 continue to be bodies corporate.". I've clarified that in the respective paragraphs. Please let us know if anything else is needed for your support. Mattximus (talk) 21:36, 17 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
