message: Uh, no.  The Cold Lake Weapons Range straddles the Alberta-Saskatchewan border and is Canada's premier air force command where it parks most of the CF-18 Hornets.  The base is technically on the Alberta side but most of the range is in Saskatchewan.  Certainly cooler than what Moose Jaw has.
Yes, but where do you think all the guys in the Hornets up there learn to fly?  Plus, we have the snowbirds. There's little need for a full-on military base in the middle of the country, unless our relationship with the US suddenly crumbles. 15 Wing is largely a training base.  Perhaps not remarkably glamorous like the guys throwing around bombs, but it is necessary and the geography is excellent for it. 204.83.242.134 03:29, 25 June 2007 (UTC)

message: The three references to "Queen Elizabeth" were rather confusing:
 Prince George, future king and father of Queen Elizabeth, paid a visit in 1926.
 King George VI and Queen Elizabeth visited during the Royal tour in 1939. Queen 
 Elizabeth first visited in 1959, and has came to the city a few times since.
The first and third "Queen Elizabeths" here presumably refer to Queen Elizabeth II, the current British monarch. However, the Queen Elizabeth who visited during the Royal tour in 1939 was King George VI's wife (later known as "HM Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother"), and not his daughter Princess Elizabeth (later "Queen Elizabeth II"). All the links, including Prince George (George VI) and Prince Edward (Edward VIII), just point to disambiguation pages. I hope I've fixed all this correctly! Mtford 16:53, 11 May 2006 (UTC)

message: The section headed "History" contains no history at all, just three "explanations" of the city's name. When was it founded, and by whom? When was it incorporated as a village'/ town / city? Has anything ever happened there, apart from royal visits and KKK rallies? Does anyone in Moose Jaw actually care that their city's history is not covered in Wikipedia?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.17.154.153 (talk) 01:12, 2 August 2008 (UTC)

message: This section is a joke. Notable is not "a guy who sells mangos" or "soon-to-be animator". Unless anyone chimes in shortly with a legitimate reason why it should remain in this state, I'll start aggressively culling.Greg Salter (talk) 07:20, 6 March 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Okay, took a few hours, but added references to as many as possible, and removed those entries that had little-to-no references or found notability. The section still needs to be changed from a long list to paragraph form. I do believe, however, that many of the existing entries should still be removed as not being notable enough. However, I'm not from Moose Jaw and I may lack some local knowledge. Follow Wikipedia's advice and be aggressive in this.Greg Salter (talk) 07:48, 7 March 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Notable People 

message: In the spirit of what visitors to articles expect to see, I moved some stuff to a new section called History.  While the material that ended up there could use some work, I was focusing more on the sections that are typical of articles  (see New Glasgow, Nova Scotia or any Canadian city).  Geography is another section that's typical.  SunKing2 (talk) 19:41, 19 July 2011 (UTC)

message: The history of Tunnels of Minot and the Tunnels of Moose Jaw seem to be very similar.
The Minot, North Dakota history section describes their tunnels: 
"the city being a supply hub of Al Capone's liquor smuggling operations. The hotbed of alcohol bootlegging, prostitution, and opium dens that sprang up in the Downtown area soon led people to give Minot the nickname "Little Chicago." The Smugglers used a network of underground tunnels (some of which were previously built for heating or deliveries) to transport and conceal the illicit cargo entering from Canada"
Maybe some more research in this area is needed to separate fact from fiction.-- Kayoty (talk) 19:11, 11 November 2014 (UTC)

message: In the chart "Population by ethnic origin, 2011" within the Demographics heading there is something very messed up.
If you add up all of those various population numbers, they don't total up correctly.   The correct total would be 38,935.
I was just going to change that total in the chart, but then I looked above and that would not mesh up with the population total in the box above.
So I don't know how to correct this.   I'm sure some of the figures are incorrect for the various population slices but I don't know which ones.
