Talk:Colony of Vancouver Island

message: I'm wondering why until the two resources I just added arrived, this article had no references...is that because this was a "lift" from the main Vancouver Island article?Skookum1 (talk) 12:23, 27 November 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: Good question - not sure personally, but could definitely use some further references and sources as an article of mid-level importance. JamesBay (talk) 04:45, 28 November 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: I'll add some more further readings, I don't have time/energy to rewrite the article...wherever it came from...I'll check its date of creation vs the history of the main article on the Island as to the possibility the content came from there, in which case some of the sources on the other article could be migrated here.Skookum1 (talk) 07:09, 28 November 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: Wow, goes back to 2006;  isn't around any more but I'll ping him anyway just in case....and I note there are two external links on that edition of the page that aren't there anymore, not sure why they were taken out.......I'll compare the date of that to the island article's history now.Skookum1 (talk) 07:15, 28 November 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: Hm, don't see anything obvious; I checked the Colony of British Columbia (1866-1871) article-history and don't see anything there of that kind, though there's a few refs on there that might apply here; Fishhead64 mentioned in one edit comment, a few before that one, re the creation of the Mainland Colony article.....(Colony of British Columbia (1858-1866) so maybe there; not that these are all that "quality" refs, the further readings I have will be considerably better than cribbings from travel-based pages or the Canadian Dictionary of Biography Online.Skookum1 (talk) 07:24, 28 November 2014 (UTC)

thread_title:  no refs? 

message: If you dive into Flag of Vancouver Island you'll see that it states in the first paragraph that "...the flag itself likely never existed in the colonial period (1849-1866), but rather was re-created in 1988 as an unofficial local flag for Vancouver Island..." This is also supported by the page's references. There seems to be a firm consensus that this flag was probably never flown by Vancouver Island when it was a colony. I do believe the flag should be removed, but as a brand new user, I'm afraid to make such a large change. Does anyone back me up on this? SGxElPsyKongroo (talk) 19:33, 18 March 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: You're right: it does not belong here. I removed that flag from the article almost two years ago. Someone has put it back, but I did not notice at the time. I'll go ahead and remove it again. Indefatigable (talk) 21:24, 19 March 2019 (UTC)

Talk:Docomomo International

message: The confusion arose because when I coined the page Docomomo, I had not been aware of the DoCoMoMo site, just because of the variant in spelling. Both spellings are used by the organization, as is the inclusion or non-inclusion of the additional "international". Of the two sites, the later one, Docomomo International, contains far more material including virtually everything from the DoCoMoMo site. Indeed the latter site even contains some irrelevant material (New Zealnd Historians). I would suggest deleting the latter site. --TTKK 21:13, 14 December 2006 (UTC)

Talk:John Jacob Abel

message: John Jacob Abel. 1857-1938 H. H. Dale Obituary Notices of Fellows of the Royal Society, Vol. 2, No. 7 (Jan., 1939), pp. 577-585  --Stone (talk) 22:46, 5 April 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Untitled

message: There is not much background information/personal life information in this article. Readers are told of the accomplishments of John Jacob Abel but there is not much information on how he was able to reach those accomplishments. There is also very little personal life information which is often important in getting the full picture of what John Jacob Abel's life was like.  
    The information that is present, about where he graduated etc, is written in a choppy manner and does not flow very well. The tone of the article is encyclopedic but the fluidity of the article should be improved. The sentences written in the review before mine are a great way to improve the flow and clarity of the article. As this page is edited and has more information I would suggest keeping personal like and early life separate sections but for now, I agree that they should be merged into one.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Cmglaser47 (talk • contribs) 20:12, 2 April 2017 (UTC)

Talk:Bridge River Power Project

message: What was the total cost of the project?  Trekphiler 07:05, 22 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Meant to add all that stuff, haven't had time, including power output, size of generators, switchyards, buildings, powerline voltages and what-not, who the architects and engineers were and more.  Pinning down the exact cost of the project is problematic, as for any megaproject in BC's history, because of the many subcontracts and also ancillary indirect costs that weren't part of the project per se; presumably company books might include the cost of construction of, say, the company towns and camps at Lajoie, Terzaghi, Seton/Shalalth and Lillooet, and might include monies kicked in by the company for the maintenance of the Mission Mountain Road/Bridge River Road, since their heavy trucks were giving it a beating throughout construction (it was not government-maintained or government-built in the first place, but a project of the mines and miners in the area); company books are likely to talk only about the hardware, i.e. the dams and powerhouses and powerlines and so on themselves, not secondary services, esp. those begun by predecessor companies such as the townsite at Shalalth, which was built in the 1920s; and even if so, the value in 1920 dollars is different than the value in 1950 or 2007 dollars, but that's a moot point in general (consider the project, effectively, took 37 years to build because of the hiatus during the Depression).  I'm not sure if Hydro's little brochure-bumpf I used to have has the cost-details, but I know where to ask; but if I get a straight answer who knows....this is the place where the term "voodoo economics" was invented, and also where the Premier of the day is known to have, ahem, kept two sets of books (I'm speaking of WAC Bennett, who was at least up front about it; the project was revived in the days of the Coalition, though, before WAC took power and nationalized it and some of its contractors, e.g. Northern Electric, vs the "core company", the Bridge River Power Company, which was the subcompany of the BC Electric Railway Company, the core company which became BC Hydro.  I'm on the road and haven't been able, even when not on the road, to devote the time to this and related pages as I'd like (my Dad was construction super over the whole project....) but maybe one day, or I can ask someone at Hydro's public relations office, who I'm on loose speaking terms with, to "fill in the blanks" here as you've requested.....Skookum1 08:12, 22 August 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Parable of the Friend at Night

message: On 23 April 2013, revision 551726521 by Hjmclean (talk) added the following as the second paragraph for the article (i.e. in the introduction) (my italics):
: Correction: this parable is not about persistence. The Greek word translated "persistence" does not mean that. It means "shamelessness." The man should have gotten out of bed willingly to help the man at his door, not only because he was a neighbor in need, but because he was his friend! Not to do so would have brought shame upon the homeowner for not having helped a neighbor in need. However, the man did get out of bed, not out of hospitality or his friendship, but because he did not want his reputation to be mud in the neighborhood. Point of the parable: The end will be achieved, but in a manner that is unexpected and disturbing. See: BB Scott, Hear Then the Parable for the full interpretation.
If anyone wants to tidy this up and add references in accordance with Wikipedia standards, it could perhaps usefully go in the 'interpretation' section of the article.

message: It is good form to open a discussion on the talkpage before making a unilateral move. Is Catholicossate of the Great House of Cilicia a better name than Holy See of Cilicia? The former may in fact be the official designation but may not be the most common name. I am not at the moment in disagreement with the move but would appreciate an explanation. Would the moving editor please offer his rational? Aramgar (talk) 21:15, 12 July 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Their website calls it that, with only one S though. I don't really know either way. Adam Bishop (talk) 03:12, 13 July 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Holy See of Cilicia (in Armenian Kilikio Sourp Ator) has never been and is never an official designation and is very colloquial at best. Some even use it as a detrimental reference in their daily conversation and usage of the term is considered very disrespectful when addressing the catholicosate in any official or even semi-official manner. The official name is clear: Catholicossate of the Great House of Cilicia (Կաթողիկոսութիւն Հայոց Մեծի Տանն Կիլիկիոյ). The move made a great disservice to official name of the catholicosate werldwayd (talk) 15:37, 13 August 2011 (UTC)

Talk:Pemberton, British Columbia

message: This edit contains useful information but is as yet uncited; maybe User:Village of Pemberton can add some cites or pics to demonstrate what's been added.  About the look of the place, while some of the newer dress-up is cosmetic, it's definitely true that before Highway 99 was punched through from Squamish (early 60s I think), Pemberton was definitely part of the Interior and very much a town much more like Lillooet than Squamish or other coastal places; the "look" was indeed natural and part of a broader regional culture extending to and including Lillooet and beyond; this was part of the Lillooet Country in those times and very connected to Lillooet by train as well as wagon/boat before that.  I remember there being old hitching posts, for example, and the false-front architecture, even what's been added, is authentic as being part of the culture of the Interior.....not that there weren't false fronts in Squamish and throughout the Lower Mainland and elsewhere.Skookum1 (talk) 03:58, 4 February 2013 (UTC)

*Minutes of a preliminary meeting of the delegates, elected by the various districts of British Columbia, convened at Yale pursuant to the following call, Yale Convention.  This is a highly important even in the evolution of British Columbia from a standalone colony; it was here that the momentum towards Canada was established, and underscored.  I haven't read through the whole thing yet; but it does include a list of organizers, who the delegates were etc (and sounds ilke it lists the colonial assembly districts, though this was not mandated by the colonial assembly or governor; it was an ad hoc meeting that self-constituted itself).Skookum1 (talk) 05:18, 28 December 2010 (UTC)

If you were really interested in working on the article, you would begin by calming down, de-escalating, and dropping your several vexatious litigations.
