Singapore City

OK enough. Let's get back on track and evaluate what we know.

  • The Central Area approximate area of the "Central Region" was previously known as Town/City of Singapore during the colonial period. (Hopefully, we agree on this)
  • The Central Area is also known as the "City Area" [7]

What we need to find out:

  • Is "Central Area" same as "City of Singapore" (at present)
  • Is "Central Area" same as "Singapore city" (at present)
  • Is "Central Area" still termed as a "city" (at present)

The best way to proceed is to find sources for each of the 3 above statements. Let's do it, just find sources. --Lemongirl942 (talk) 10:44, 5 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Lemongirl942: Ok, I'll try looking up on sources. Just help me mediate this thing, I don't want this to be the next WWIII. -- MageLam (talk) 10:54, 5 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Lemongirl942: So apparently, the historical entity of the City of Singapore isn't entirely conterminous with the present-day Central Area. The jurisdiction of the City of Singapore roughly corresponds to the present-day Central Region (excluding Marine Parade of course). If you look through maps in the records of the National Archives of what is defined as the "City of Singapore", you will see the rough boundaries of what is now the Central Region (as seen here). The terms "City of Singapore" and "Singapore City" have been used interchangeably to describe this area, the former being the official name of the historical city.-- MageLam (talk) 11:20, 5 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Lemongirl942: Now with that drama out of the way, let's get back to normal discussion. I have recently redirected the title Central Area to the Central disambiguation page. Do help me out with correcting the links that are made to Central Area, Singapore on the "what links here" page. Thanks! :D -- MageLam (talk) 11:11, 6 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@MageLam: Sorry, I had to undo your edit (redirect). This is just to avoid breaking current links to "Central Area". The recommended practice is to redirect after in-links have been fixed, not before. (In-links Special:WhatLinksHere/Central_Area). I will fix them gradually. --Lemongirl942 (talk) 12:23, 6 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
