Mount Royal

Standard has it that the federal district does not need further diambiguation. When the provincial district article is created than it will be at Mount Royal (provincial electoral district). -- Earl Andrew - talk 05:48, 4 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

It's just that the federal ridings are more important :-). Remember, other provinces have ridings with the same names, so this has been discussed before. For example, the federal riding of Prince Albert is at Yorkton (electoral district) while the provincial riding is at Yorkton (provincial electoral district). -- Earl Andrew - talk 05:56, 4 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

It's an unwritten standard that most of us agree on. I've tried looking for past discussions on the issue, but can't find it yet. I know there was one though! -- Earl Andrew - talk 06:00, 4 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

OK, me and Fawcett had this discussion in April. See it at his talk page here User_talk:Fawcett5/Archive2 and on my talk page (look for April 30) -- Earl Andrew - talk 06:05, 4 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Hull

This is more than just Hull, and I will say separation from the rest of the city has very little to do with it. I hate to say this so many times, but it's what the maps say. And we can source maps, at least. -- Earl Andrew - talk 04:33, 10 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Survey

Search the wiki for similar surveys, and set it up like that. But I reckon, someone neutral on the subject should start it, as it is very biased as it is. -- Earl Andrew - talk 20:09, 23 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia:Votes for deletion/Launie Anderssohn

Hi Farquard,

Frankly, I cannot remember if I counted your vote, but I fear that I did not, in which case I apologize. You're right that I should have.

I might not have closed the VfD if it was 4-2; however, apart from the 4 clear delete votes, I also count the nomination as a delete vote, and in the discussion at the bottom of the page there's another valid delete by Blackcap. So it's 6 to 2, and that is a clear consensus to delete. -- Eugene van der Pijll 10:37, 27 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Ballparks

I see you're adding a section on former ballparks. Kudos! Now, a suggestion... I like to keep things simple. When teams built new structures on existing sites, they often renamed the park or dated the park from the construction date. In my view, that's marketing hype. Example: Tiger Stadium, which is typically dated from 1912, except when it's convenient, like when they were getting ready to leave, and tried to pump up attendance by talking about "Baseball at the Corner since 1896". Well, whatever they want to call it, Bennett Park or Navin Field or Briggs Stadium or Tiger Stadium, it's all the same block of land, and I think it should be listed as a single site, 1896-1999. Another example is the South End Grounds, which was the Braves' home from 1871 through 1914, no matter how many times they rebuilt it or burned it and gave it different names. Similarly, the Polo Grounds, whose diamond stayed in the same place while they rebuilt around it. They dated it from 1911, but the right date should be 1890. And the Crosley Field site, which the Reds occupied from 1884 or some such through part of 1970. Anyway, that's my view. I'd be interested in hearing your view on it. d:) Wahkeenah 00:43, 30 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I contend that they should not have separate articles. Those early ballpark articles tend to be small, because there is little to be said about them. I did combine the so-called "Philadelphia Baseball Grounds", a small article, into the "Baker Bowl" article, and then redirected the former to the latter. That's how I think all these old structures should be handled. Wahkeenah 02:18, 30 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

If it depends on the location of the diamond, you could indeed argue that Tiger Stadium is a different ballpark from Bennett Park; that Redland-Crosley Field is a different park from Palace of the Fans; etc. Yet you've got Sportsman's Park as the home of the Cardinals during the 1880s and from 1920-1966, and of the Browns from 1902-1953, when in fact the diamond was in the southeast corner during the 1880s, the northwest corner during the early 1900s, and the southwest corner from 1908 onward. But the name was not changed, so the three "different ballparks" tend to be regarded as one. Meanwhile, if you've seen photos of the Reds' 1880s ballpark, they actually retained the original grandstand on the southeast corner as a right field pavilion when they built their "Palace of the Fans" and relocated the diamond to the southwest corner. Yet some sources regard them as different ballparks, even though the very same thing was done in St. Louis in 1908. The Reds replaced the entire structure in 1912, of course, the year from which they tended to date their ballpark. Meanwhile, the Indians, Giants and Senators used to date League Park, Polo Grounds and Griffith Stadium respectively from 1910, 1911 and 1911 again because that's when the concrete structures were built, even though the location of the diamond did not change from the earlier structures... and in the case of the first two, the name did not change either. It's these kinds of inconsistences that can be resolved by simply going by location, and reporting these chronological details within the article, rather than going by position of the diamond, naming, or whatever hype the club wanted to use (or not use) at some time or another. Wahkeenah 08:06, 30 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Let me ask you this: You have listed the Polo Grounds as 1890-1957, but you have listed Griffith Stadium as 1911 onward. Yet, in both cases, the diamond stayed in place while they rebuilt the structure around it. Is that not an inconsistent approach? Wahkeenah 18:20, 30 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Oops, you already did it. OK, now a little bit of a history lesson... The Senators played at a different location, called American League Park, during 1901-02 or 03 or some such. Then they moved into an older site, which was once called National Park (the team having been called the Nationals) and it became Griffith Stadium at some point on or after it was rebuilt in concrete. Also, regarding Baltimore, the minor league Orioles stopped playing at the earlier Oriole Park after the 1915 season and moved into the abandoned Federal League facility, Terrapin Park, which was right across the street, in 1916. They renamed it as a newer Oriole Park. When it burned in mid-1944, they moved into Municipal Stadium, a football stadium which was laid out kind of like the diamond in the L.A. Coliseum later, with a short left field and a deep right field. The diamond was in the northwest "corner" of the field of the horseshoe-shaped stadium, whose open end was to the south. The structure was rebuilt as Memorial Stadium in the late 1940s. They actually built the new stadium in sections around the ballfield during the season, starting at the south end and slowly obliterating the previous stadium, until the new horseshoe, with its open end to the north, was sufficiently ready for them to relocate the diamond from the northwest corner to its final location at the south end of the new oval. Got that mental picture? :) Wahkeenah 18:35, 30 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Looks pretty good. I corrected the end-year on the early Oriole Park. If anyone wonders what happened with the minor league O's during 1916-44, they'll find out all about it on the Memorial Stadium page. I'm guessing you don't really want to get into lists of the Federal League Parks for the most part, or the many extinct teams of the 19th century, but just the linear histories of the current teams.

Montreal East

You say that Montreal East is the most common name in English. I say it's Montréal-Est. How do we resolve? I don't think I've heard anyone call it Montreal East, (except perhaps those over the age of retirment who still call Deux-Montagne, "Lake of Two Mountains", de la Montagne "Mountain Street" and Trois-Rivieres "Three Rivers"; or those who have never stepped foot in the place).

Normally I'd say, what do English people living in Montreal East currently call it ... but I've never met any! Or what does the town/city itself call itself in English ... but I don't think it operates in English. Have you any good references? All I can suggest is Google, that finds about 30,000 hits for "Montreal East" and 40,000 or so for Montreal-Est (both when restricting searches to English-language pages).

Image Tagging Image:Lasalle.png

This media may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:Lasalle.png. I notice the 'image' page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you have not created this media yourself then there needs to be an argument why we have the right to use the media on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the media yourself then it needs to be specified where it was found, i.e., in most cases link to the website where it was taken from, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the media also doesn't have a copyright tag then one should be added. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media qualifies as fair use, consider reading fair use, and then use a tag such as {{Non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair_use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.
