Lac Tremblant

I noticed this was missing, should an article be created? -- 67.70.35.44 (talk) 14:22, 12 October 2014 (UTC)

It sure can! You can be WP:BOLD and create one yourself (even just a stub with basic info), or you can add it to the the requests page. Be sure to use {{Infobox body of water}}! - SweetNightmares 02:54, 15 October 2014 (UTC)

I agree, so I started the article. -- P 1 9 9  ✉ 19:23, 17 November 2014 (UTC)

I Never Liked You—Featured Article Candidate

I've nominated the article for Canadian cartoonist Chester Brown's graphic novel I Never Liked You (1994) for Featured Article—the story takes place in Châteauguay, Quebec. Please take part in the review at Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/I Never Liked You/archive1. Thanks, Curly Turkey ¡gobble! 02:07, 19 November 2014 (UTC)

Dollar Cinema

We seem to be missing an article on this. As the only theatre [1] showing "The Interview" and being in the news many other times over the years, it seems like an article should exist, as it is covered as a news item much more than the average theatre, or even most of the top achalandage cinemas -- 65.94.40.137 (talk) 01:43, 1 January 2015 (UTC)

• I'm not terribly impressed with the quality of the discussion -- no one seems to talk about whether or not there are WP:RS, only their feelings on the matter -- but see Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Dollar Cinema (Montreal, Quebec). It should also be noted that the Afd nominator is the article creator, if I understand correctly, who then !voted in his own Afd. Odd. Shawn in Montreal (talk) 02:05, 1 January 2015 (UTC)
  • That is a very unimpressive AfD; but we now have additional information about the cinema (and should have had some at the time of deletion) such as defying terrorism threats. -- 65.94.40.137 (talk) 00:00, 2 January 2015 (UTC)
    • I'd be careful about recreating the article on that basis. That's a one-off (non-)news event. But I do recall seeing an in-depth Gazette (I think) piece a few years back on the theatre, its business model, etc. Or maybe it was in one of the weeklies.

Quebec referendum, 1995

Hi all, wish I had less divisive or stereotypical topic to discuss, but I've been trying to make Quebec referendum, 1995 into a half-decent article. My problem has generally been that (1) I only have two sources on hand and (2) While I love Quebec, I am English Canadian and may have a blind spot or two. If anyone, particularly a sovereignist, would be able to offer any tips or advise, I would greatly appreciate it. Knoper (talk) 01:15, 4 January 2015 (UTC)

What sources are you using? -- 65.94.40.137 (talk) 04:03, 5 January 2015 (UTC)

I've used Mario Cardinal's "Breaking Point" and Chantal Hebert's most recent volume. Like I said, there may be serious blind spots. Knoper (talk) 04:09, 8 January 2015 (UTC)

WikiProject X is live!

Hello everyone!

You may have received a message from me earlier asking you to comment on my WikiProject X proposal. The good news is that WikiProject X is now live! In our first phase, we are focusing on research. At this time, we are looking for people to share their experiences with WikiProjects: good, bad, or neutral. We are also looking for WikiProjects that may be interested in trying out new tools and layouts that will make participating easier and projects easier to maintain. If you or your WikiProject are interested, check us out! Note that this is an opt-in program; no WikiProject will be required to change anything against its wishes. Please let me know if you have any questions. Thank you!

Note: To receive additional notifications about WikiProject X on this talk page, please add this page to Wikipedia:WikiProject X/Newsletter. Otherwise, this will be the last notification sent about WikiProject X.

Proposed move / Quebec airports

Should Montréal–Mirabel International Airport be moved to Montreal–Mirabel International Airport? This is an issue also presumably affecting other Quebec airports, such as Québec City Jean Lesage International Airport and Montréal–Pierre Elliott Trudeau International Airport. Discussion is at Talk:Montréal–Mirabel International Airport#Proposed move to Montreal–Mirabel International Airport.--Skeezix1000 (talk) 21:35, 11 February

The Canadian MoS is pretty vague about cases like this, but I would say that if the city standard does not take the accent, neither should any articles relating to its infrastructure. On the other hand, we are talking about a proper name here, not e.g. highways in Montreal. Its English website uses the accent, as do most of the entries in Termium. Having read the discussion over there, if I had to pronounce myself, I'd say I'm weakly in favor of keeping the accent. Honestly though, surely people arguing over an accent with proper redirects can find more productive things to do? I like organization as much as the next woman, but there is so much missing on Wikipedia! If you ask me, it's petty battles like this that drain peoples' energy and turn away potential users. - SweetNightmares 14:26, 14 February 2015 (UTC)
