| In ], there is a discussion over the naming conventions of the article (Sḵwxwú7mesh). There is a discussion over what the article name should be. I think it's an important issue, not just for Sḵwxwú7mesh, but the naming conventions of indigenous nations all over the Pacific Northwest Coast. Most propose switching it to the version that's been widely used in the English language (Squamish). I've brought up that Squamish, like Kwakiutl, Nootka, etc are misnomers, and that if the decision to change Sḵwxwú7mesh back to Squamish, that will mean a larger move of all article names for indigenous nations in the area. I understand that Sḵwxwú7mesh is a hard one to read, let alone search for, etc. etc., but it is the proper naming used modernly. You can look at the long discussion, but I would appreciate your input. P.S-I'm back! ] 06:05, 1 October 2007 (UTC) | |||

Thanks. That's the word I should have used in the first place. Cheers. --- Taroaldo 05:53, 27 August 2007 (UTC)
- No prob; glad you didn't think I was just edit-warring. Living in Vancouver, the big/little city doesn't really work well because, unlike Toronto, Montreal, etc., there's several police forces policing the metropolitan area, many of which are the RCMP. bobanny 06:24, 27 August 2007 (UTC)

Thank you for chiming in on the Security guard conversation. You were much more eloquently able to say what I knew. :) Exit2DOS2000 02:27, 6 September 2007 (UTC)

Ok, a talk page discussion sounds good. Perhaps the first step would be to ask Plapsley to post his comment on the article talk page then we can respond to it with our thoughts? Leaves a better archive of the discussion than off site emails (I got one too.) Cheers Saganaki- 04:05, 11 September 2007 (UTC)

Protocol questions
In re: Talk:Vancouver
1. In the Most Livable City? topic, most recently I asked 2 questions, one Metro/GVRD, one about transit oversight. Then I checked out the transit part and added a retraction. Now it is starting to look a little strange, you answered in the correct spot but my transit Q and A are getting pushed apart and losing connection. I'm not worried about the RTFM or gee-I'm-dumb part of it, happy to let it show, but readability wise, is it acceptable IYO to go back and edit out the pieces about transit?
2. The topic I opened was Most Livable City and it turned into Regional District which admittedly share several letters of the alphabet. I intend to revisit MLC under MLC-2, hopefully with overwhelming force. I also have no problem with the discussion turning to RD, interesting themes of Toronto-hating, municipalities under the Can. Constitution, urban organization. Two questions: the thread wandered away from its title - is this normal / expected / correctable(how?); and you guys started blogging just a little bit, a few IMOs, again no problem for me and interesting, but how far does this go?
