James Blake (bus driver)

I redirected James Blake (bus driver) to Rosa Parks, as a single sentance already covered in another article shouldn't be its own article... Bushytails 18:40, 25 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Mormons in Lethbridge

Please read my discussion and try to take it into consideration. I believe that a failure to mention Mormons at all in Lethbridge is misleading. At the same time, I appreciate what you're saying and in some ways I agree with you. I won't revert this again because it is futile. BUT... people should strive to write well-balanced articles in Wikipedia and that sometimes means including well-known, but not necessarily statistically available information. Anyway, I will not edit the Lethbridge page anymore, so make of it whatever you feel is best. Oh, and please try to realize that 10% is actually a very large and statistically important number when one if referring to a religiously homegenous minority group.--Tyson2k

Actually, I think the alternate that you posted in the Lethbridge talk is perfect. I would support its addition to the article. As for Regina... whatever. I just wanted it to be consistent with the demographic information that has recently been added to a majority of the Canadian city pages by other users. The ethnicity/race debate is very complicated, and to be truthful, I detest the term race. Nevertheless, it has a distinctly different meaning than ethnicity. If it were up to me, I would rewrite those demographics sections to reflect an ethnic point-of-view rather than a racial one. Race is trivia as far as I'm concerned (though, it is much easier to conduct a census when you only look at race). I think ethnicity and culture are far better indicators of the multiculturalism and richness of a place. Race only talks of skin colour other superficial aspects of a person. I think it's outdated. That's my rant. -Tyson2k
