Wikipedia talk:WikiProject British Columbia/Templates

message: As some of you have no doubt noticed I've been plunking through the BC geo stubs category adding the BC project template (which I'm doing on WikiProject Vancouver articles so far but if I shouldn't let me know and I'll stop).  In the course of this I've found some duds and maybe some spoof stuff and also noticed varieties of stub within the geography stubset which could/should be further specified as they clutter up this cat quite a bit; in the case of the many geology stubs which are showing up (all inputted by the earnest User:BlackTusk, e.g. Coffee Crater, Anahim Volcanic Belt) they're in a different category than a peak or river entry.  Other than that I guess it would help to have a BC-bio-stub and a BC-hist-stub (not all bios are those of politicians; not all history items are geographic); if there was a poli-stub it would also help (e.g. Solidarity Crisis, Two Rivers Policy); a First Nations stub might be good too, BC-FN-stub as many community and other articles need noticing...I've been adding the  indigenous poeple's wikiproject tag to those as well, though.  Not sure what other stub categories for now but if someone could whip those up - BC-geol-stub, BC-hist-stub. BC-bio-stub, maybe BC-FN-stub.  What else?  BC-park-stub?  BC-community-stub (inclusive of all communities from localities on up through cities).Skookum1 19:31, 16 December 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Mount Popa

message: The Old name of Popa was named by K'Cho, Mindat Chin people!
The old name of Popa is Pupa. Pupa means Grandparents comes from K'Cho dialect of Mindat Chin people. Till now, K'Cho children are taught by both their parents and grandparents that Mt.Popa is called Pupa Thum. Pupa is Grandparents and Thum means Mountain because K'Cho people stayed and worked for their living at Popa ( formerly : Pupa )for many years ago before they moved to Chinland.
By K'Cho Community ( Malaysia ) kchocommunity@gmail.com
:Interesting. Pupa Thum sounds so much like Popa Taung (mountain) in Burmese. For the first 30 years of my life I'd thought Aloo (Hindi for potato) was Burmese (meaning smears mouth). Wagaung (talk) 09:17, 26 July 2009 (UTC)

Talk:Denman Island

message: :It was named by Captain Richards in 1864 for Rear Admiral Joseph Denman who was commander of the Pacific station from 1864 to 1866
Just curiosu if "Pacific station" there might be synonymous with the RN Pacific Squadron, which was based at Esquimalt (from a certain date onwards; beforehand I think it had been at Callao, Peru or Valparaiso, Chile.  Rather nont synonmous but the palce the Squadron was based at,  i.e. Esquimalt.  We know he commanded the Sutlej at Clayoquot Sound in '64 but the guy in charge of the whole squadron would have had his pick of ships present; whether taht was his "assigned vessel' maybe somebody at hte RN pages can help out with.  As for the similar name Denham, just as an aside, I lived in an apartment at, hmm, Jervis and Pender, or was it at Bute and Pender, that was "The Denham"....in its very last days, I was one of the last tenants; a once-fine old '20s mock-not-quite-Tudor in teh bad old days when parts of hte West End were still low-market (cehap)≥Skookum1 (talk) 01:04, 18 May 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Pacific station or [[Pacific Squadron]]?

message: I've removed the section indicating that the Northern portion of the island has been stripped of tree cover, which may be slow to regenerate due to soil type. Clearly, this segment was a speculative sentence, added in response to the logging of the northern portion of the island; at the time, it was speculated that the northern part of the island would become a sandy barrens. Ten years after the logging, it is evident that tree cover is re-establishing at a relatively normal rate. The claim that regeneration 'might' be slow has been answered in the negative; hence the segment is no longer relevant (and ought not to have been included in an enyclopedic account in the first place: not the proper place for speculative, non-referenced POV statements).  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 208.110.123.197 (talk) 04:31, 5 July 2010 (UTC)

Talk:Elk Valley (British Columbia)

message: I think maybe what you mean (TrekPhiler) is those last two sentences, esp. the last one tacked on the end of the history paragraph (which can/will be a lot bigger).  Sounds like coal company or town CoC promo/p.r. material; the outdoor rec stuff at the end is standard on BC town/valley pages; almost like a mantra; quite frankly a lot of BC town pages could use the tag you just placed; all I can do is de-brochurize them or fact-template them when I come across them; usually I'm on the fly, like when I made Natal, BC (because I'd found a picture...).  I'll add a fact template to that last sentence, in fact after breaking it off so there's no confusion about what needs citing.  The socialist tradition in the Elk Valley of the coalfields is part of the story of and easily cited (for someone who has histories of the area on hand - or histories of the BC labour movement); the candidate in question was a Tom Uphill.  Another main bit of valley history, other than the southern mainline of the CPR, was the successful re-opening o the coalfields in, I thin, thte '70s due to sales to Japan and more since to China; the place was shutting down.  At Natal a whole mountain has been turned into a pit; a comparison of old topos with new ones is very revealing.  Not meaning  to be POV on it, there's just lots here that this article can expand towards; lots of big-game adn trapping/settler history, alpine areas, Elkford vs Sparwood (culturally, so to speak), ski development etc; I'm sure that one line is a brochure line, which could then maybe be cited as "this brochure says this" or whatever....Skookum1 (talk) 21:30, 29 April 2008 (UTC)
