Talk:St. Albert, Alberta

message: This section is pretty shitty.  I did some minor editing.  The names of the festivals were wrong or incomplete.  Ex. - International Children's Festival is actually the Northern Alberta International Children's Festival.  There were a few spelling errors.  The rest was poorly written.  One sentence suggested that there were only two newspapers widely distributed in St. Albert.

message: I'm new to Wikipedia and a former resident of St. Albert. I'd like to add some pages on St. Albert's current/former Mayors (none of whom are personally known to me, so there's nothing "vanity" about this). My questions are 1. Is there a Wikipedia consensus as to whether mayors of cities of St. Albert's size merit their own pages? 2. Would there be merit in adding a list of St. Albert's mayors to this page? It seems to me that there would be, but after checking out a few other cities' pages I don't see any such lists. Sarcasticidealist 00:13, 24 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: A List of mayors of St. Albert, Alberta could be linked in this article, just like List of mayors of Calgary, Alberta is linked in the Calgary infobox. There's also a List of mayors of Edmonton, Alberta and List of mayors of Lethbridge, Alberta. --Qyd 01:08, 24 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text:  Thanks for your feedback.  It's come to my attention that the list I was using of St. Albert's mayors (from the City's website) is flawed, so I'm holding off on making that page until I get that straightened out.  In the meantime, I've made a page for Paul Chalifoux.  I'd like to make similar pages for St. Albert's other mayors, but I'd still like to know whether they meet Wikipedia's notability guidelines.  If they do, I'd also like to hear what people think of Chalifoux page, so I don't replicate any problems with it in future mayoral pages. Sarcasticidealist 01:32, 25 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I've added the category (:Category:Mayors of places in Alberta). You might use the  template for references, it makes them look better. Good work. --Qyd 19:07, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

message: Somebody just changed the population density figures.  The new ones appear as two different numbers, so at least one of them is wrong.  Besides that, if you divide the given population (56,310) by the given area (34.61 square km), you get an entirely new number, that is neither the old number nor either of the new ones.  Can somebody case some light on any of this before I go inserting this fourth number?Sarcasticidealist 18:35, 8 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: calculated density for 2005 population and StatCan area, added references for easy checking. --Qyd 19:05, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

message: I'd like to significantly expand the History section and separate it from the Culture section, in light of some research (of secondary sources, natch, so as not to run afoul of WP:No original research) I've been doing.  Any objections? Sarcasticidealist 03:24, 29 April 2007 (UTC)

message: There's a festival that took place a few months back where people would enter in some kind of car gallery and put their cars on display in and around the St. Albert place parking lots. I forgot what the event was called but I'm thinking of adding it to the article so can anyone help me out?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Alieneater1239 (talk • contribs) 16:56, 3 December 2009 (UTC)

message: Is it really necessary to have such a prominent picture of vandalism? I mean, it may be the city's "most pressing criminal issue" (quoting the article) but I don't know if we really need such a big image of an example of it, in lieu of something representing a more-notable aspect of the community. 68.146.64.9 (talk) 07:10, 25 November 2010 (UTC)

message: , pardon the incomplete edit summary in my second revert (darn iPad). The two categories are both "establishments" categories, of which "establishment" is ambiguous. It is neither "founded" or "incorporated" but due to its ambiguity it can be inclusive of both acts. Every single municipality in Alberta is assigned an establishment category based on its date of original municipal incorporation. Where years of founding before incorporation are known, a second earlier category is also applied. Removing one instance here has implications on articles for 17 other cities, 108 towns, 89 villages, 51 summer villages, and numerous others. There should be a community discussion about this before it is removed. I previously raised the need to have an "incorporations" sub cat under "establishments" but there was only one other participant in the discussion, IIRC, and it fell on deaf ears at the time.
