Talk:St. Catharines

message: I just had a question that I wanted clarification for, is Decew Falls and the Mill a part of Thorold, Fonthill or St. Catharines? That area gets very tricky as to whether its St. Catharines, Fonthill or Thorold (parts are one thing and not the other varying even by side of the road) and I was just wondering if a source could maybe be found showing that the mill and falls is part of St. Catharines. --Wikifrogeditor (talk) 22:55, 19 June 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: I doubt that you'll care about the answer to this question literally more than a decade later but as far as I can tell Morningstar Mill is technically part of St. Catharines because it's owned by the city itself. All the sources I've ever found online describe it as part of St. Catharines, too. But it's basically right on the boundary to Thorold. In real life this is even weirder, because certain parts of streets before the mill are considered part of Thorold and other's aren't? At least as far as I can tell. My point is that it's not really that clear in real life, either. I'd argue you could make a valid argument that it's part of Thorold, but verifiability, not truth. Hopefully that helps anyone whose confused or at least validates their confusion. Sincerely, Clovermoss (talk) 00:47, 24 June 2022 (UTC)

message: The Federal and Municipal boundaries do not line up, and as such a section of the city is represented by Malcolm Allen. This area includes the Shaver Medical Facility, Brock University, and some local businesses and dwellings. These Municipal interests that are shared with the federal government fall under his constituency.
Adding Malcolm Allen as second MPP representing St.Catharines. (Though it is up for discussion as to if he should be the first since his name does come alphabetically before Rick Dykstra

message: As far as i can tell from consulting various maps of SHPP, zero or almost zero of it is in St Catharines. The park would appear, to me, to be mostly in Pelham with a part in Thorold. There might be a tiny part on the southwest corner of the intersection of DeCew and Pelham roads that's in St Catharines but, if memory serves me correctly, that part of St Catharines is in private hands belonging to landowners who front on Pelham Road. Those lands are not part of the park. I definitely think it's erroneous to include Short Hills PP as a park in St Catharines, especially given that, by first approximation, about 100% of the park is not. 142.140.230.111 (talk) 20:49, 20 January 2010 (UTC)

replies: text: I've taken the initiative to sub in the image showing the corner of St. Paul & Queen. I think it is a much nicer photograph, and the photo used in the infobox should make the article look attractive and inviting. I understand 'why' the photo of the low level lot was chosen for the infobox, because it shows the city's skyline, and that the infobox image should show the skyline, but I think it is acceptable to use this photo instead until a better photo of the skyline becomes available. St. Paul Street and Queen Street are also very key features of the city, the corner shown in this photo is essentially our "Times Square". --Matt0401 (talk) 23:33, 1 April 2010 (UTC)

message: The generally used nickname for the city of St. Catharines is "St. Kitts". The original name of the city was "Grantham". The author Howard Engle uses the city name "Grantham" in his fictional "Benny Cooperman" books. I have no documentation for any of these points.70.30.33.115 (talk) 19:21, 4 February 2012 (UTC)

message: The article's Introduction says is the 6th largest urban area in Ontario. But "List of the 100 largest municipalities in Canada by population" lists it as only the 17th largest (municipality). I think there's a mistake.--Solomonfromfinland (talk) 18:02, 10 September 2012 (UTC)

message: Since you thanked me for my removal of content here , I was wondering if you had an opinion on my edit here . My instinct was to be cautious with anything that might be important to the history of the city and this content wasn't as blatantly promotional as everything else, so I restored it. But I'm still not sure of its relevance and I'm not sure about the reliability of Cinema Treasures. My instinct is that it's not an ideal source, but that's it better than some random blog. That doesn't mean it's nessecarily relevant, though. Thoughts? Clovermoss (talk) 00:57, 24 June 2022 (UTC)

text:  By the way, what are your thoughts on the article rating? It's currently rated B-class, which I have literally no experience with, but "no major problems" doesn't seem accurate to me. I'd argue it's more a C-class but I've never seen anything actually rated B-class before (at least that I remember) so I was wondering if you had an opinion on that? I do plan on trying to substantially improve this. Clovermoss (talk) 01:24, 25 June 2022 (UTC)
