Talk:Banff, Alberta

message: Would anyone mind if I replaced the photo of Banff with a clearer one. The one on the page is a tad blurry and not very clear. Ben W Bell 10:45, 30 Mar 2005 (UTC)

message: I added a table to the right hand side much in the way that US cities are done. I did it in HTML format since I find Wiki's format a little more difficult to use and modify. I think the way I have laid out the HTML table will make it simple to alter :). I also added a map. I'm not happy with it, but it is the best I could draw. Does anyone else have a better map?

message: I was told the last time I was there that anyone who can show descent from a resident in 1910 (ie before the establishment of the park authority) also has the legal right to settle.  Is that correct?  It would account for the excellent service I got from the municipal office indexing and locating the graves in the town cemetery.  Richard Pinch 12:11, 15 October 2006 (UTC)

message: The picture is NOT of Banff avenue, it's of an intersection that crosses Banff Ave. That's Cascade Plaza, the only part of Banff Ave visible is the blockades on the left of the picture. Just sayin'.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 110.32.152.179 (talk) 14:27, 21 January 2011 (UTC)

message: The article should mention that Banff was built by World War I internment camp prisoners.  Two internment camps were located there from 1914 to 1920, one at Castle Mountain and the other in town adjacent to the Cave and Basin National Historic Site.184.147.236.183 (talk) 05:45, 11 June 2013 (UTC)

message: I check pages listed in :Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of :Banff, Alberta's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.
Reference named "envcan":
From Beaverlodge: 
From Bowden, Alberta: 
From Calgary: 
From Athabasca, Alberta:  
From Fort Saskatchewan:  
I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT⚡ 00:02, 13 October 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  Orphaned references in [[:Banff, Alberta]] 

message: The Banff page says "The area was named Banff in 1884 by George Stephen, president of the Canadian Pacific Railway, recalling his birthplace in Banff, Scotland."  However, the page about George Stephen says he was born in Dufftown, Scotland.  Dufftown and Banff are some 30 miles apart.  However, Dufftown is in what was historically named Banffshire (otherwise referred to the County of Banff).  I don't know the reason for the inconsistency, so I haven't proposed a correction so much as left it open for someone that knows more about the history of George Stephen and Banff.
