Talk:Expo 86

message: * The theme for Expo 86 was disputed in the Vancouver discussion. In case this discussion appears here, I wanted to explain why I have corrected the theme on the Expo 86 page. Although the general theme for Expo was "Transportation and Communications", the theme was expanded to include "World in Motion - World in Touch." See Expo Museum, [Canadian Encyclopedia, and Canadian Heritage site on expos.  --Westendgirl 05:54, 17 Oct 2004 (UTC)

message: I heard recently that there is still a monorail station in the Plaza of Nations building, including a short section of track. There isn't much in this building so most people have no reason to go there and hence have no idea it's still there. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 216.232.127.117 (talk) 19:13, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

message: "The final cost of the fair ended up being CDN $8 million under budget."
"Deficit : $311,000,000"
Clearly, these two numbers don't add up. I'm marking for citations needed.

message: :Image:Expo86logo.png is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page.  Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.

message: Someone had in my watchlist said they'd redirected this link to this article, but I don't see it in the "what links here" and I've lost track of which article that was done in; I imagine what was done was a pipe to here, not a redirect.  The term "Expo Lands" was used after the fair and is (more or less) synonymous with Pacific Place (Vancouver), which was the dba name for their acquisition/development used by Concord Pacific, who bought the lands from the BC government after ten years of them lying fallow and undeveloped, and would belong in the political scandals coverage due to various issues connected with the sale and the lands themselves.Skookum1 (talk) 23:06, 9 December 2010 (UTC)

message: I changed the quality assessment of this article from B to C class today due to a lack of inline citations (indeed, there are a few "citation needed" tags still in the article today).  PKT(alk) 16:53, 7 December 2012 (UTC)

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: This section is far too long for an article on the fair, and unbalances the presentation. Yes, it's sad that unscrupulous landlords acted in an unscrupulous way, and sad that somebody died. But to spend as much time on that as on, for example, the legacy section, makes it seem as though the fair was built on death and discomfort; in short, the writer of this section is trying to re-fight political battles of the 1980s rather than give information about the fair. What the landlords did is ancillary to the fair itself. If somebody wants to write an article called "Hard Times in the Vancouver Downtown East Side, 1980s," then by all means go ahead; but to import a long digression on "evictions" into an article on the fair is absurd. The whole section should either be deleted, or shaved down to a sentence, and incorporated into "Backgrounds," which is where it belongs. Theonemacduff (talk) 23:38, 12 February 2018 (UTC)
