Not in HRM

edit

There are at least four "Dover" communities in Nova Scotia. There is "Dover", "Little Dover", "West Dover" and "East Dover". West Dover and East Dover are in the Halifax Regional Municipality, and while Dover Island is one mile off shore of West Dover, "Dover" and "Little Dover" are 360 km to the northeast (by road) in the Municipality of the District of Guysborough, 20 km (12 mi) southeast of Canso. It appears what happened here is there was an assumption Dover was between West Dover and East Dover, or that Dover is inclusive of West Dover and East Dover. Neither situation is the case, and we need to fix this article accordingly so that it is about the actual community named "Dover" near Canso in Guysborough.

Statistics Canada confirms Dover and Little Dover are within Guysborough and confirms West Dover and East Dover are within HRM. The latter also confirms there is a "Dover West" in HRM as well. In any event, this article is now fixed. Hwy43 (talk) 20:14, 11 December 2016 (UTC)Reply
