message: If the Mount is closed, it is no longer a school, should it be removed from the list?Dbrodbeck 01:10, 7 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Nah...it's valid to list former/closed schools on here, as long as they're designated as closed. Gives some perspective on the city's history. Bearcat 03:24, 7 September 2006 (UTC)

text: OK, how about something like this: "WHile both institutions do offer joint programs with LSSU the vast majority of students spend their entire college or University careers at AUC or SCAAT"  (or some variant thereof) Dbrodbeck 17:16, 16 November 2006 (UTC)

message: Do not list stations licensed to Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan (anything with a W--- callsign) in this article, as they are not Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario stations. The section already links to the media section of SSM, Michigan's article. Bearcat 00:25, 14 August 2005 (UTC)

message: The area north of Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario is divided into Townships, with Heyden being in Aweres Township.  The unorganized parts of Algoma District are farther north.
: Aweres is an unincorporated township, and hence is part of the unorganized portion of Algoma. Please be aware of the difference between geographic townships (which cover almost the entire province but are not units of political organization) and political townships (which may coincide with geographic townships, but don't have to, and have municipal governments). Aweres is a geographic township; it is not a political township. Bearcat 20:33, 17 May 2006 (UTC)

message: While I accept that Soo is in use a lot, is it encyclopedic?  Would oh 'the big smoke' be used in the Toronto article?  Perhaps it is what do I know...  Dbrodbeck 02:32, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes, actually, "The Big Smoke" is cited in Toronto's article as a notable and verifiable nickname for Toronto. Any nickname whose widespread use can be verified and is perfectly fine to mention. (This, of course, does not mean that it would be sufficient if one guy referred to Sault Ste. Marie as "Goofytown" on his blog; nicknames need to be verifiably common.) Bearcat 03:18, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: excellent, point taken. Dbrodbeck 04:51, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

text: ahh, but the question is, how many used 'goofytown'?  Dbrodbeck 17:40, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

message: Someone just took out the percentage of Christians, with the justification that he/she 'just knows' it is more than the 60 odd percent quoted.  Now, I have no idea what the original source was, as it is not listed, but, I think it would be sensible to find out.  The original edit has some specific numbers, it is unsourced  Oh, and 'religion of choice' is an odd turn of a phrase.
: Hmm, well according to StatsCanada, the number of Christians [Catholic (46.24%) + Protestant (38.05%) + Orthodox (0.28%) + n.i.e. (1.43%)] is 86.00% as of 2001.
: also, 0.07% Muslim, 0.07% Jewish, 0.17% Buddhist, 0.11% Hindu, 0.01% Sikh, 0.02% Eastern religions, 0.23% other religions and 13.30% no affiliation

message: The following appears under Transportation:
The city is no longer linked to any other major cities by rail, but is part of the Algoma Central Railway network, which runs north from the city to the small town of Hearst.
 
Isn't the rail line from Sudbury still in place?  Or does this only refer to passenger travel?  Blotto adrift (talk) 22:52, 22 November 2007 (UTC)

message: This, it seems to me, is getting almost like an ad.  Now, I will not revert it without some consensus, but listing the name of a couple of businesses downtown seems somewhat unencyclopedic.  What do others think?  Dbrodbeck (talk) 19:06, 17 December 2007 (UTC)

message: "In March 2010, St. Mary's Paper again laid off 150 employees which put more workers on unemployment for there is no work until the paper mill opens its doors again."
Earlier in the paragraph it says only 150 people work there.  So, the plant was closed down?  For how long?  This sentence says they were laid off "again".  How many times before?  When?  I saw no other mention in this section.  Perhaps this article could link to a wiki about St. Mary's Paper mill with more details?  Khono (talk) 13:13, 1 May 2010 (UTC)
