Does the City You Live In Have a Wikipedia Article?

I was looking through the Wikipedia article on Canada when I found my city of residence. For some reason I got excited over this, so much so that I now find myself making this thread. So of course, mine does. Really I was surprised to find this article, seeing how Ontario really is a rather small city. So can you find a Wikipedia article on the city you live in?

EDIT: I guess nobody else caught on x:

Mine is too. I live in a town though: Chester-le-Street.

according to Wikipedia, the city I live in has an area of almost 4.5 square miles and a population of almost 6,500.

you think Ontario is small?

By Californian standards yes. Other cities in Southern California such as San Bernardino or Riverside are much larger than Ontario. Cities in California are by far the largest outside of New York.

LOL! My little town even has a page in English, Italian and Swedish. Not bad for a little Dutch town.

Well, of course it does!

In fact, I visited the wiki site before visiting this city the first time. It sounded like a place that was just too good to be true! My town is the best of all the places I've lived.

Yes.

This is because my town is a small city surrounded by CDPs who can't get articles.

I live in Toronto. I'd say there's a pretty big article.

Wait, seriously, Ontario, CA redirects to the article about a small city in California? What the ****, Wikipedia?

Ontario, CA isn't a "small city."

>.<


It's part of the massive LA-outskirts (Inland Empire).

The wiki article about my home town is only a few (2-4) (short) paragraphs long.

Ontario California has 170,000 people, while Ontario Canada has 13 million people. One of these is more important than the other. :P

Singapore doesn't have cities in it because it's one big city-state. :3

I want to pinch your cheeks!


(i.e., don't get cheeky with me!)

Well, no. But the city right next to us that sort of has legal control over us does. I think it's cool.

That's great, but somehow I doubt most people looking up "Ontario, CA" are going to be looking for California's Ontario, considering that "CA" is used as a short form for Canada fairly often.

Also what Cody said. Lousy forumites stealing my thunder.

I was amazed when I found a page on my town. My town is pretty small, but apparently has a huge history in it, most notable being the Battle of Maldon.

Maldon

English Southeast Seaside Town!

We have an article on the Dutch Wikipedia.

Eksel (Hechtel-Eksel) Dutch Wikipedia.
(Yes, the first part is all history.)

Our church is from the year 1178.
We have a chapel from the year 710.
Our history goes back to the 5th century.
Beat that =P

My municipality is basically a city, so...
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haninge_Municipality
75000 inhabitants and article in 18 languages - quite impressive.

Little ol' WV town has 10 languages. I was shocked.

I'd hope so. I live in a rather popular city. And yes, it does. A nice long wiki.

Yup my city has an article! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yankton,_South_Dakota
