Talk:John Abbott College

message: Did John Abbott not actually live in Ste-Annne-de-Bellevue at some point in his life? I believe there is a plaque indicating this located somewhere n the community (perhaps in front of the house in which he lived). Victoriagirl 16:38, 20 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: No, he grew up in Argenteuil and lived mostly in Montreal, with a country house in Senneville. You are probably thinking of Simon Fraser House in Ste-Anne. jsbryce 01:33, 15 October 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: John Abbott in Ste-Anne-de-Bellevue?

message: This article reads like a recruting pitch for this CEGEP rather than as an encyclopedia entry.
Phrases like "John Abbott students benefit from a highly dedicated staff responsible for student activities." ITs also achingly inprecise for example "A great deal of activities take place each day around the campus" whats a great deal 10+ 50+ 100,000,000+? This article should stick to facts and cite some sources, since if I knew where the info was coming from I'd go to the source and fix this article myself.
:Some of your edits are justified, others are not (i.e. "great deal": big woup. Activities can vary from 0 to 50, hence the imprecision). BTW, some of the sources you want happen to be the John Abbott web site, so no wonder it might "sound like a recruitment flyer".DMZ 14:15, 30 November 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Who ever said anything about feel good imprecision? If anything your comments are biased :/. Besides, how can we ever be certain of anything? Nothing is certain, this is the basis of factual science. So according to you, nothing should be in an encylopedia? I think any relevant and informative information of any good use to anyone should be included, including etsimates on how many activites happen throughout the day.DMZ 00:22, 9 December 2006 (UTC)
