Talk:Gatineau

message: move.
Gatineau, Quebec → Gatineau –  Reason for proposed move:Gatineau already redirects to Gatineau, Quebec, and the name is unique so there is no risk of confusion with another city or town.  The proposed move is consistent with the Canadian naming convention ("Places which either have unique names or are unquestionably the most significant place sharing their name, such as Quebec City or Toronto, can have undisambiguated titles"), and is in line with recent moves of Canadian cities such as Lethbridge, Saskatoon, Edmonton, etc. Skeezix1000 11:33, 13 September 2006 (UTC)

text: Size has nothing to do with warranting a move -- there was no consensus to adding a size threshold to the Canadian naming convention.  Second, all of the matters you have listed relate to the City of Gatineau (some of which, like Pointe Gatineau and the former city are constituent parts of the city), so there is absolutely no risk of confusion.  And finally, using that logic, Ottawa should be renamed (Ottawa River, Ottawa Valley, Ottawa Centre (electoral district), etc.), not to mention London (London Bridge, London Philharmonic, etc.), Paris (Paris Hilton, Paris 1919 (book), etc.), and so on.

message: "Ursus super montem ivit" means "The bear went over the mountain". Seriously, this is NOT Gatineau's motto. The real motto seems to be "Fortunae meae, multorum faber" - see this page on the city of Gatineau site:  The fake motto was added in December 2005 by an unregistered editor and seems to have propagated across the internet since then. Arrrrgh. 
The list of that user's contributions is at http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Contributions&target=132.203.33.24 - sorry I don't know how to make the proper wiki-ish link to that.

replies: text: Due to the hoax nature of this "motto", it can be declared silly vandalism (see WP:VAND). I just put a warning on the IP talk page to flag this FWIW. Reverts of such vandalism are presumably xempt from the 3 revert rule. If this continues, the procedure in WP:AIV can be considered. Dl2000 03:49, 19 November 2006 (UTC)

message: It would seem appropriate that it be added to the page that the city is host to the 2010 Jeux Du Québec. I've never edited a Wikipedia article before so I'm not sure how to proceed...  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.201.167.182 (talk) 04:22, 30 July 2010 (UTC)
