UBC

Under education it mentions UBC as top 20 best public universities in Canada, it should be 20 best public universities in the World. There aren't even 20 universities in Canada Vancouvercorrectnesss (talk) 17:43, 6 June 2023 (UTC)

This edit request has been answered. Set the |answered= or |ans= parameter to no to reactivate your request.

Change: " UBC often ranks among the top 50 best universities in the world and is ranked among the 20 best public universities in Canada" to: UBC often ranks among the top 50 best universities in the world and is ranked among the 20 best public universities in the World.

The statement was incorrect as there aren't even 20 public universities in Canada, and original source follows the correction Vancouvercorrectnesss (talk) 17:46, 6 June 2023 (UTC)

 Not done. UBC does often rank among the first 20 public universities in Canada. Furthermore, there are over 100 public universities in Canada. I added a citation to further confirm that. Cocobb8 (talk) 16:00, 7 June 2023 (UTC)

"Preside"

I do not understand the use of "preside" in the 2nd paragraph of the Ethnicity section.Beyond My Ken (talk) 04:49, 2 September 2023 (UTC) Beyond My Ken (talk) 04:49, 2 September 2023 (UTC)

Panorama View (Picture)

Panorama view (from Stanley Park) picture shows outdated view of downtown Vancouver. How do I upload (license) my own work and upload new panorama picture? I can go and take it, I live nearby. Please explain. Thank you. 24.87.14.45 (talk) 02:10, 8 October 2023 (UTC)
