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)

Semi-protected edit request on 6 June 2023

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Panorama view (from Stanley Park) picture shows outdated view of downtown Vancouver.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)

One of the most expensive in the world = 109th?

The article says that Vancouver ranks as the most expensive city in Canada and one of the most expensive in the world, but the source cited states it is the 109th most expensive in the world. Maybe it is a matter of opinion, I would not expect "one of the most expensive cities in the world" to mean a place not even in the top 100. dacre 20:07, 8 January 2024 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mackdacre (talk • contribs)

Climate classification

I think we can remove the Mediterranean climate mentioned.

I don’t know who used a 40mm threshold. דולב חולב (talk) 09:54, 4 March 2024 (UTC)
