Revision as of 03:45, 6 July 2004
An event in this article is a April 6 selected anniversary (may be in HTML comment).
I've done a copy edit on this article, but there is more to be done. I want to add a reference to First Nations history in the Vancouver area--it didn't just start when the English began to settle the place.
I've changed the former reference to the "Richmond-Airport-Vancouver light rail line." As far as I know the decision has not been made that it will be light rail. I've changed the corresponding article (a stub), but it will need renaming. Sunray 09:06, 2003 Dec 9 (UTC)
Note that although Expo 86 was about Transportation and Communications, it was not called "Man in Motion." You may be confusing it with Rick Hansen's 1987 "Man in Motion World Tour." Sunray 06:36, 2003 Dec 11 (UTC)
Do we really need the list of municipalities in the GVRD here? There's already a fully linked up list of them on the GVRD page, which links from here in an obvious way. Maybe replace the list with a link to that page? seglea 19:32, 18 Dec 2003 (UTC)
- Since they are already included elsewhere, lets just link to that. Sunray 06:33, 2003 Dec 20 (UTC)
To the person that added: "please change that because it doesn't mean anything interesting. Talk of their spiritual believing instead." This is a wiki. If you think something should be changed, go ahead. By all means add something about the spiritual beliefs of the First Nations. On the other hand, it is not a good idea to put editorial comments into the article itself--potentially confuses the reader, IMO. Sunray 17:47, 2003 Dec 27 (UTC)
- Added a brief description of the social and spiritual life of the First Nations. Sunray 07:47, 2003 Dec 31 (UTC)
I believe Vancouver's rush hour is bad, but can the claim of ranking "worst in North America" really be backed up by a study or reference? (unsigned)
- I doubt it. Look at LA and New York for starters. Exploding Boy 02:24, Apr 4, 2004 (UTC)
Expo 86
I beleive that Expo 86 had the theme of 'World in Motion - World in Touch'.
"It contains the second largest Chinatown in North America, (after San Francisco)": Can anybody cite recent sources of this information and/or define "largest"? I've read conflicting information in travel articles suggesting New York City's Chinatown is the largest but none of them are authoritative.
Picture
Does anyone miss the picture of Vancouver that was there prior to May? It showed the city with its backdrop of mountains and water and seemed much more representative than the one that is there now (complete with the caption: "Manhattan of Canada"). Anyone who knows Vancouver's West End (pictured) knows that it is unique and special and not at all like Manhattan - nor does it want to be.
I've written the individual who put the new picture up and asked him if he would mind putting the former one back. Unless there is some legal problem with that, I will do it if he doesn't. Sunray 03:45, 2004 Jul 6 (UTC)
