Talk:Mount Royal

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Someone should be sure to get a picture of the purple lights on the cross, since it looks like they'll be used quite soon. —Charles P. (Mirv) 21:10, 1 Apr 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Purple lights

Yes, they should be lit right now. However, the article has an error: the lights were purple 26 years ago last time the Pope changed (the article indicates that this is only possible since 1992 when the fibre optics were put in). I'm not that old, but a friend of mine saw them first-hand, last time. (-:

Does anyone know about Wallace & Van Warren from Mount Royal? I'm wondering if they are a legit company because they are supposedly doing a sweepstakes.

[edit] Article Clean-up

I tidied up the photos -- they were placed somewhat haphazardly throughout the article, and were starting to actually crowd out the text. I only removed one photo (one of the "tam-tam" shots -- I don't think two are necessary, and it wasn't obvious from the one that I removed that it was showing the Sunday Tam-Tams). I'm not wedded to the way I laid out the photos, but I do think that the photos should illustrate the text, but shouldn't be made front and centre to the detriment of the article. I also cleaned-up the Tam-Tam section -- once I removed the POV, unverifiable observations and links to after-hours clubs, it became a lot shorter. Skeezix1000 22:00, 5 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Fletchers Field

My father used to refer to Parc Jeanne-Mance as "Fletchers Field". Aparently the area which now comprises the Parc Jeanne-Mance was once part of a farm belonging to someone named "Fletcher" or so the story goes. Does anyone have the straight dope on this?
