message: The first line of this article claims that the expo was "The 1999 International and Universal Exposition" - surely 1967? -- Mithent (talk) 13:31, 16 January 2008 (UTC)

message: Should this article be Expo '67? Just wondering. If everyone agrees, I'll move it soon. Thanks, Genius101 Wizard (talk) 14:56, 23 July 2008 (UTC)

message: The article states after Expo'67, the site became known as 'Man and His World' which ran until 1981—the year it finally closed. Doing some searching I found a scanned brochure which touts a 1982 season for Man and His World (<-click link to see). I can't seem to find any other evidence of a 1982 season other than this brochure pamphlet, leading me to believe it was published the year prior, before a decision was made to permanently close the site. Still, it makes me wonder. 
A bit more searching, I found this Montreal Gazette newspaper article archive printed in August 1983. It states the Saint Helen's island section of Man and His World had been closed for the past two seasons, meaning it was indeed closed in 1982 and 1983. Oddly there is still mention of Man of His World continuing but in a very small section of Norte Dame island; sounds more like it was a weak attempt at keeping the name and spirit of alive more than anything else. As far as I know, everything that was Man and His World was on Saint Helen's island. And apparently the site underwent extensive demolition between 1984 to 1986. I would say the article is accurate but still would be interested in hearing if anyone has a different history of the site, if it did continue beyond 1981--Apple2gs (talk) 21:09, 24 August 2014 (UTC)
thread_title: Man and His World, closed in 1981 or 1982?

message: Just noticed the info box states the opening date of Expo 67 as April 21, 1967. Is there any significance or importance to this date?
As far as I'm aware, the opening ceremony took place on April 27, 1967, and Expo 67 officially opened to the public on April 28, 1967. I'm assuming the April 21st date is completely erroneous, especially considering the closing date was also in error (previously the same person listed it as October 27, 1967, when in fact it wasn't closed until the 29th). The only reference to April 21st are one or two photography blog sites mentioning this date, and likely the source the Wikipedia article took it from. On a note of interest, the Seattle Word's Fair Expo opened on April 21, 1962, and likely the source of the mix up (it came before Expo 67).
As for the actual opening date in the infobox, should it be the opening ceremony (27th) or the opening to the public (28th)? I've put the 27th for now, though if anyone feels the 28th is more accurate for the infobox, please discuss it here.--Apple2gs (talk) 20:37, 30 April 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: Update: Just recently learned from an Expo historian that the official opening date, as per the BIE, was indeed April 27, 1967. So the date in the info box is now correct. As for the closing date, although originally scheduled for October 27th, the BIE granted a two day extension which the city of Montreal took advantage of. So no need for a discussion afterall (I'm leaving this text though, just in case there should ever be a dispute over the dates in future).--Apple2gs (talk) 04:56, 10 June 2015 (UTC)

message: The Expo 67 official logo was used as the article's main image for a while but had to be removed for copyright infringements. As it is now in the public domain, I suggest we revert to this image instead of the current official map for the Infobox. Rubix99 (talk) 18:30, 12 December 2016 (UTC)

message: I was reading the page and I see it needs a citation needed for the They Might Be Giants that the song Purple Toupee contains the line "I shouted out free the expo '67" would the lyrics from the "This Might Be A Wiki" website be acceptable? I know it's right I just don't know if a fan site meet's wikipedia's standard for being a "source". Either way I have no idea how to add it myself but here's the link http://tmbw.net/wiki/Lyrics:Purple_Toupee  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.206.38.181 (talk) 07:26, 30 May 2020 (UTC)
thread_title:  Needed Citation 

message: The citation to the Montreal Gazette piece on De Gaulle's "Vive le Québec libre" speech goes to a broken link. I can't find the original article on the Gazette's website, but there's this from around the time of the 50th anniversary. I'm writing on deadline, so I'll have to come back to this later, but if someone can fix it in the meantime (either if they can find the original story somewhere or if they can figure out if all the claims in the article are sufficiently supported by the anniversary story), maybe this will inspire them to do so! 147.219.155.62 (talk) 19:29, 30 April 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: I was able to find the original article, but the problem is it was NOT from the Montreal Gazette, it was a piece published in the New York Times on July 26, 1967. I'll link the article archive here, but unfortunately it's behind a paywall (I may have ways around that, at least in terms of accessing the raw text). That should be a start towards finding a proper link. https://www.nytimes.com/1967/07/26/archives/pearson-rebukes-de-gaulle-on-call-for-free-quebec-prime-minister.html Apple2gs (talk) 21:00, 30 April 2023 (UTC)
