[edit] Stigma

I don't know who put this in but i got rid of it ", this has earned the town's residents a stigma that everyone is a senior citizen". I have lived in White rock/South Surrey for 20 years, there's no stigma. -Adenosine- 09:09, Mar 7, 2005 (UTC)

I've lived here for 9. And we joke about it, that everybody's old. Maybe you just don't realize it as much, most likely being old yourself. 70.70.212.72 03:16, 26 November 2005 (UTC)
Maybe it's a semantical thing, I also joke about it, but I thought stigma was a little harsh of a term (I'm not old by ANY means) Adenosine | Talk 07:22, 17 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] The White Rock

I don't think that White Rock is named for the physical representation (the literal white rock)... I do remeber there being a story based around it... something the people at the museum tell the tourists. Maybe someone could add that?

[edit] The Map and Info Box

I do think that conformity between articles is important for wikipedia, and especially for the article about the GVRD. Thewalrus, I do agree that the old map is by far not the prettiest thing around but we can't just change white rock and let it be. I think Qyd has made a great map, actually he has made great maps for every city in the GVRD. I say we change all the maps across the entire district. I am not active at any other city's wiki page, but we're gonna have to change them all, or none. And that info box looks nice, but we can't leave it full of unfilled default values.
