message: No consensus, so no move. I'm also of the opinion myself that it should remain where it is. I note that neither myself nor Hamedog are from that part of the world, and that the proposer Alr does not give any such personal details. The proposer seems to have reversed the latest move themselves, as requested on their talk page, so I'm hopeful this means they'll accept this decision. Andrewa 10:03, 28 December 2005 (UTC)
thread_title: Result

message: Added in a couple of pics from my recent trip to Big White (wish I hadn't come back!), as well as a few bits about lifts, runs, the village etc...

thread_title: Few small changes

message: I feel, and I am sure you will agree, is that the edits by User:Odysseus107 are very POV and I suspect that they may well be an employee of the resort. Does anyone else feel these edits should be removed? --HamedogTalk|@ 07:38, 1 May 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: POV

message: Well firstly, I have put both these tags in because any company linked to Big White is using this article as a free chance to advertise. This needs to be sorted out, and I hope someone who is a netural party can rectify the problem.--HamedogTalk|@ 09:10, 13 September 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  NPOV AND CLEANUP 

message: I think that a new section about the telus train park should be added. I have pictures if everyone thinks it sould be added. Thanks -mikeh0303
:Yeah there is actaully a section about the TELUS park - its called "Terrian Park". Add some images too it, it will look good! This article also need the adverts removed.--HamedogTalk|@ 04:20, 21 October 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: Trivia help

message: Alright, I'm going to request another move be made to "Big White (ski resort)", simply because I have been skiing and snowboarding there since I was 5 years old, and so has my family dating well back into the early eighties. Television, radio, and newspaper ads all refer to it simply as "Big White", and the first thing that would come out of someone's mouth regarding the name would be "Big White", not "Big White Ski Resort". Wikipedia's naming conventions state that the most acceptable and commonly known name is the rightful one, so as long as it isn't misleading to the licensed or proper title. To be perfectly honest with you, I cannot recall anyone having the preference to call it "Big White Ski Resort" when referring to it. It's known around British Columbia and Kelowna particularly as simply "Big White". Besides, it's just the article's name, and within the article: "Big White Ski Resort" will and should continue to remain, just not as the article's title. Refer to Billy the Kid. If you need more examples, just ask.  21:17, 25 September 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I think the name-formatting so far has followed standards/guidelines from WP:Ski and WP:Companies, but it doesn't ahev to, and I do agree with you - "Big White" is pretty much a placename like Kelowna or Nelson (i.e. we don't have to have "City of Nelson" as that article title).  Similarly Apex and Silver Star are used in the same way....Little Mac, Powder King, Purden.....; raises an interesting issue for sure.....Skookum1 (talk) 16:37, 26 September 2008 (UTC)
replies: text:  Looking back on this discussion, I personally could care less about the article's title. "Big White Ski Resort" is correct. "Big White (ski resort)" is also correct. Either works for me, and I'm sure others would agree also.  00:47, 27 January 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Article Title 

message: Now I've skied BW many times, and plan on returning. However, it seems that the nickname of this resort is well known and well deserved -- well over 1/2 of my days on the hill were socked in. Are user reviews reference-able on this point? There's no lack of them, and for "reviewers often note..." it seems more than reasonable. Maury Markowitz (talk) 22:32, 14 September 2010 (UTC)
