Talk:Bombay Hills

Origin of name?

Related to the Indian city of Bombay?

No, the area is not directly named after the Indian city, they are named after the ship Bombay, which landed in Auckland and bought settlers to the area in 1865 Brian | (Talk) 08:18, 11 July 2006 (UTC)

• Stereotype (heading)
  • Aucklanders and other New Zealanders have a mostly light-hearted "love-hate" relationship. Stereotypically, Aucklanders view parts of the country "south of the Bombay Hills" as provincial and unsophisticated,{{Fact|date=February 2007}} while the rest of the country sees Aucklanders as brash and arrogant. {{Fact|date=February 2007}} For this reason, the boundary between Auckland and its southern neighbours bears great significance. People on both sides of the boundary are as likely to use the phrase "New Zealand stops at the Bombay Hills". See also the term Jafa for Aucklanders. {{Fact|date=February 2007}}

I removed this information again. I have no personal opinion about this, but someone else had an issue with it and requested citations in Feb 07. So if you want it in the article you need to verify this with a citations. It is really pretty simple, if you need help writing the citation put a link to the source here and I will help with it.--BirgitteSB 02:47, 25 November 2008 (UTC)

Divide

Does divide need a link to a definition and, if so, isn't Drainage divide more appropriate? Johnragla (talk) 09:20, 17 November 2020 (UTC)
