The first shows a small park on a roundabout (traffic circle), the second is Burns Avenue and the third is the Hawkesworth Bridge, a suspension bridge imported from Middlesbrough, England in 1949.

*:@[[User:Tai123.123|Tai123.123]]: CBD is just short for Central Business District. It's a term used by economists, city planners pretty much everywhere, but in Australia, Singapore, and New Zealand, it is used as the equivalent of "downtown" (US, parts of Canada) or "city centre" (rest of the English speaking world). <span style="font-family:BlinkMacSystemFont">[[User:SHB2000|SHB2000]] <small>([[User talk:SHB2000|talk]] &#124; [[Special:Contributions/SHB2000|contribs]] &#124; [[m:User:SHB2000|meta.wikimedia]])</small></span> 03:38, 26 March 2022 (UTC)

*:::I still prefer "urban core" though. We're meant to be using the local variety of English, and CBD is what's used in Australia. City centre is sometimes used, and that's only in Adelaide and Darwin, but elsewhere, it's rare (when referring to downtown), and if it were Sydney or Canberra, it would be misleading.

*3, 4, 1, 2. Gros Morne is on the west coast of the island, and is a prime tourist destination for people going to N&L. This picture is probably taken at the end of the boardwalk leading from the parking lot at the site. It's where visitors will take a boat tour of the lake (which is well worth taking, BTW). N&L Tourism heavily promotes Gros Morne. The Arches is on the Great Northern Peninsula of the island, and is easily accessible (it's just off the road), but is not as important a site. I think the Labrador pictures, while beautiful, do not convey what most visitors will see of N&L due to their remoteness. I think 3 is an excellent choice -- no need to look at east coast pictures.

* My preference is 5,4,6,1,2,3. [[User:AlasdairW|AlasdairW]] ([[User talk:AlasdairW|talk]]) 23:42, 11 November 2022 (UTC)

*5, 6, 3, 2, 4, 1 for me. 5 is spectacular. The blurb is misphrased; I will make a slight edit. [[User:Ikan Kekek|Ikan Kekek]] ([[User talk:Ikan Kekek|talk]]) 00:03, 12 November 2022 (UTC)

::I made more than a slight edit. Are you all good with this blurb? "As South Africa lacks a good public transport network and many of its attractions are in rural areas, driving is recommended." I didn't like the previous blurb, because "Without a good public transport network and many of South Africa's attractions in rural areas" is at a minimum lacking a "with" before "many." I think I arrived at a more elegant phrasing, but let me know if you disagree. [[User:Ikan Kekek|Ikan Kekek]] ([[User talk:Ikan Kekek|talk]]) 00:11, 12 November 2022 (UTC)
* I think my favourites in order are 5, 6, 2, 1, and then distantly 3. I'm not a fan of 4. --<span style="font-family:BlinkMacSystemFont; font-size: 14px">[[User:SHB2000|<span style="color:#0b6487">SHB2000</span>]] <small>([[User talk:SHB2000|talk]] &#124; [[Special:Contributions/SHB2000|contribs]] &#124; [[m:User:SHB2000|meta]])</small></span> 01:32, 12 November 2022 (UTC)
