Talk:Lachine, Quebec

message: This is an excellent photograph, but why has it been included in this article?  Parc des Rapides is located in the Borough of Lasalle, not Lachine.  Idesofmontreal (talk) 22:54, 3 August 2010 (UTC)

message: I agree that the paragraph about the impoverished area of Lachine and the restaurants should be revised. The fire at Orlando Patate and the closing of Miss Dixie are perhaps sad, but they are not tragedies. Perhaps these were important events to the author, but they really just seem like anectodes to me. The reference to the "proud" and "hardest working" people on 45th avenue, as well as the reference to easy access to drugs are surprising; it is presented as common knowledge but I don’t think this is something distinct about that area of Lachine. 
At the very least, I suggest removing the reference to “decent families”, to “easy access to drugs”. I also suggest to make the references to restaurants closing less dramatic, or perhaps remove them altogether, as the closing and opening of restaurants really not unusual and certainly not something that defines Lachine.

message: Listen, people: Just because your experience of Lachine did not (or does not) include 45th Avenue, this does not mean that this community has no symbolic meaning for many other Lachiners and their friends. This is Wikipedia. This is not a doctoral dissertation. Keep your personal judgments about what DOES NOT define Lachine to yourself. If many have experienced 45th Avenue in Lachine as significant, then this makes it significant in any discussion of Lachine. To those who decide that the fire was not a TRAGEDY, I ask, were you affected by it? What about the residents who lost everything in that fire? Who are you to decide for them that this was not a tragedy? Shame on you. I am sick and tired of this pretentiousness. If you feel that there are other features of Lachine that deserve attention, by all means describe them; but do not diminish the experience of others.

replies: text: I have removed the section in question. The point is not that the tale of 45th Avenue is not interesting to some, the point is that it has no place in an encyclopaedia because nothing that is asserted as fact ("hard-working", "impoverished", etc) is backed up with citations.  If you were able to provide a link to, say, a Statistics Canada report showing that the good people of 45th Avenue are harder-working than those elsewhere in Lachine, then that portion of the paragraph could remain. On a side note, if you "will not tolerate dissent", then maybe you should consider "not editing Wikipedia". Geoff NoNick 11:54, 22 September 2007 (UTC)
