Mary Ellen Smith not first woman in prov legislature in Canada

Smith was third woman MLA in Canada, not the first. Alberta elected two in 1917 - Louise McKinney and Roberta MacAdams 68.150.222.51 (talk) 05:56, 29 August 2022 (UTC)

Title should be Vancouver B.C.

According to wikipedia "Vancouver, Washington" was incorporated in 1867. Gastown was the name of this town before it was renamed some 20 years later in 1886 to Vancouver, British Columbia according to wikipedia "Vancouver".

Let us be consistent. There are at least two Vancouvers and the reader should easily identify which one is being addressed. Regor23 (talk) 21:36, 29 August 2022 (UTC)

The name only really would cause confusion for people in the Portland area, in Seattle I've only ever heard The Washington one be specified. I think most people in the world would assume a major world city and not a large Portland suburb when they see Vancouver. Always beleive in hope (talk) 22:25, 7 September 2022 (UTC)

No. You can’t have the name. Why don’t you change your town’s name to North Portland to avoid the confusion 70.79.137.94 (talk) 17:47, 24 March 2023 (UTC)

There is an extensive discussion of this topic on the talk page under "Frequently Asked Questions". Curiocurio (talk) 00:16, 8 September 2022 (UTC)

The picture of Vancouver’s skyline is from 2006

Can we get an updated skyline photo from 2023? Why are all the pictures of Vancouver from the day this wiki page was made 17 years ago? 70.79.137.94 (talk) 03:38, 7 February 2023 (UTC)
