message: The picture of Reading Trail should be restored. The substituted picture is an unsourced, unnamed picture of some trees. Uninteresting and no indication of even where it is. The original picture is a better photograph, is specifically named and sourced, illustrates several points made in the text, and is more typical of Fredericton trails.

message: The picture of Kings Place labelled "Downtown Fredericton" isn't very representative of the downtown character.  Has anyone got something more typical of the area?

message: There should be a section about the St. Marys Indian Reserve, as it is one of Frederictons distinguishing features.  St. Marys has been and continues to be an important and influential part of the community.  Each year the community puts on an excellent Christmas-lights display, and it has begun to expand commercially within the past 7 years or so.

Feel free to write and add this section. It would be interesting. JoKing (talk) 10:18, 9 June 2011 (UTC)

message: An IP with no other contribs added reference to Lansbridge as a University in town.  It appears to be, from the website, a University that is primarily online.  I'm not sure if that is really the goal of the opening boast segment about our universities.  We have two well established universities with large campuses, while Lansbridge appears to be located in one building where CompuCollege used to be.  The website does list a number of faculty, so it may simply be that I'm excluding it because it's new and I'm not yet aware of its merit.  (Or I'm stuck, despite my net-experience, in a real-world-university mentality, since most appear to be at other universities...)  I do tend towards thinking that perhaps until it becomes larger, more prestigious... or at least more well known around town, it isn't really an appropriate trumpeting point for the city.  Maybe even if they just write a bit more about the University?  - Mr. Cat 04:21, 3 June 2006 (UTC)

:Yes.  Fredericton is a notable community.  (Though admittedly not tremendously notable.)  If notable people are Frederictonians, then that makes the category a cross reference of two notable things.  - 142.167.82.25 (talk) 22:27, 19 November 2007 (UTC)

message: The demographic breakdown on the ethnicity list doesn't make sense. It adds up to more than 100%, and doesn't take the significant aboriginal population into account. What is the source for this info? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.5.236.254 (talk • contribs) 17:08, 7 April 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree that something looks odd, unless the aboriginal population is counted in the mixed race column. However, if the percentage is slightly over 100%, that's just due to rounding. Does anyone have a link for the latest census or similar survey that would have this data? —C.Fred (talk) 17:46, 7 April 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: I read that the French-speaking population is 33%, but here they give a minuscule number for French only, and a number much smaller than 33% for people who speak English as French. Add to that that these figures aren't even sourced, and they start to look a little fishy to me! 123.3.95.88 (talk) 18:06, 12 December 2011 (UTC)

message: Does anyone have some pictures of Fredericton to upload that are of good quality? Most of the pictures on this page are quite unappealing and unrepresentative of the city.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Omertop (talk • contribs) 03:21, 11 April 2012 (UTC)

message: Within the next few weeks, I will probably create both a page and category of "Greater Fredericton" as I have done with Saint John, Moncton and Shediac to help manage the page a bit better and move the information that is not actually in the city limits here.  Please let me know of any objections here.  Thanks Hogie75 17:46, 3 February 2013 (UTC)

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: This article is not quite aligned with a number of Wikipedia guidelines and could do with a tidy. I propose doing some edits as follows:
*prune some text that is forked at other articles like History of Fredericton, Anglophone West School District, etc.
*while not everything has to be referenced, there are some lengthy sections with no refs at all.
*remove some of the "tourist guide" info such as by what store a given mall is "anchored".
*prune some redundancy e.g. parks are in sports and in culture
*remove or replace some low-quality pictures
*remove one of the two climate charts
*remove some red links
Any thoughts or concerns please post here. --Cornellier (talk) 23:50, 2 July 2020 (UTC)

message: So I took a look at the claim that Fredericton is partner/sister cities with Gangnam, and I can't find any sources for it. It seems to be part of vandalism from 2008 that somehow never got reverted. Edits by that user were also reverted on the article for Gangnam itself claiming Fredericton was partner cities with it. I'm asking here as it's been sitting there for 15 years and I'm not sure how this would be handled. KyranBitmapper (talk) 08:40, 14 February 2023 (UTC)
