Talk:Qu'Appelle, Saskatchewan

message: This article sounds more like an essay than it does an encyclopaedia artcile. It's full of subjective terms and what appears to be uncited original research. Take the lead section for example.
Qu'Appelle, Saskatchewan, is a small locality located on Trans-Canada Highway 1 and the Canadian Pacific Railway mainline, some thirty miles east of Regina, Saskatchewan. With 
*its for a time seemingly long-term terminus status for the Canadian Pacific Railway; 
*its lush rolling parkland setting, intermittent "coulees" (gentle valleys with steady-flowing creeks) and "bluffs" (the local term for aspen groves) and generally picturesque locale both in summer and winter and
*its ready access to ample water
Qu'Appelle had at one stage been credibly anticipated to be a major metropole by both 
*the federal government of Canada — it was under serious consideration by the federal government for district headquarters of the District of Assiniboia and territorial headquarters of the North-West Territories — and 
*the Church of England (now the Anglican Church of Canada), which for a time designated Qu'Appelle the cathedral city for the Diocese of Qu'Appelle, geographically corresponding precisely to the District of Assiniboia in the North-West Territories. 
Political events, however, passed Qu'Appelle entirely by and when Lieutenant-Governor Edgar Dewdney elected the locale of his own landholdings some 30 miles to the east of Qu'Appelle as his Territorial capital, Qu'Appelle's significance other than in historical terms largely lapsed.
It could be rewritten to something like this:
Qu'Appelle, Saskatchewan, is a town located on Trans-Canada Highway and the Canadian Pacific Railway mainline, 55 km (34 mi) east of Regina, Saskatchewan. The Government of Canada and the Church of England at one time anticipated Qu'Appelle to be a major metropole because of its terminus status for the Canadian Pacific Railway, its "coulees" and aspen groves, and its ready access to ample water.
Several of the changes made include:
*the bulk of the historical content moved to the history section and a simple summary left in the lead
*subjective, uncited terms such as "lush", "picturesque", and "credibly" removed
* verbosity (such as "a small locality") rewritten ("a town") 
:*-In this case Qu'Appelle became a town with the pre-requisite population of over 500 residents on February 20, 1903 well I guess on the 2001 and 2006 census this place still has over 500 residents!!!! so I guess it should be a town, it for some reason feels smaller when I was there.SriMesh | talk 07:07, 19 September 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  Note 1 

message: Have tried to address the initial points brought forward at peer review, have as well put a note one which points no longer arise for the automatic peer review process at SAPR.  Some still arise due to the titles of names given in references and citations, so they cannot be fixed as per article prose.   Have added more sections as per UK settlement guidelines and US city guidelines, would like to follow these guidelines for the lead section as well. This hich would produce a lead which is a summary of the article as a stand alone, so that every section is introduced to entice the reader to read further if that section is to their liking.  The manural of stle regarding images have come along in the article, but there is still some sandwiching of text between two images facing each other. According to these guidelines the section labeled "Progess" could be relabeled Media.  AS well that guideline also suggests to have an Arts and culture section under which is a subsection named Annual cultural events' as well as Museums and other points of interest.  The complete description has been added to the image about the capital monument so that info can be in or out of the article---that Qu'Appelle was capital for a day because of the Thrill of a Lifetime TV program.   There have been no further comments at PR yet, nor a GA reviewer as of yet...for more pointers. SriMesh | talk 01:27, 25 September 2008 (UTC)

message: Sorry for all the edits I made today to this template, which amount to very minor things, after all is said and done. I started because there were 5 (!) broken references, and I couldn't find the reason. In the end it was because of vandalism in Template:Formatprice/digits. Who could have guessed?
