[edit] Brochure

Does anyone know about the CBC news story referencing a brochure and Sioux lookout? "Mayor Kathy Poling said the Edmonton publishing company responsible for the brochure took the description of the community from a user-edited online encyclopedia, without proofreading it or checking the facts." Is this a reference to wikipedia?

Yep, this edit. Beats me why CBC wouldn't mention Wikipedia by name. — mendel ☎ _ * _ 19:28, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

Good job Mendel; I missed that going through the history. --Zegoma beach 20:19, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

Sioux Falls, Ont., up in arms over 'slanderous' pamphlets article at the National Post says Mayor Kathy Poling, who was out of town yesterday, told the local newspaper that she believes the "slanderous" and "hurtful" misinformation came from Wikipedia, the user-generated online encyclopedia, and was not checked before the printing company sent the brochures out to hotels. [...] The company produced new brochures and sent them about a week later. Some hotels put them directly into the garbage. "The worst mistake was the fact that they didn't proofread it ... You only had to read for six seconds. It's not like it was buried, it was the second line," said Suzanne Favot, a manager at Sunset Inn & Suites. "For a company to behave in that manner, without verifying their [materials] before sending it, I am not interested in having any of their stuff in my rooms.". 4.250.198.132 01:13, 13 March 2007 (UTC)

Me wonders why the National Post would call it Sioux Falls. Eclecticology 17:01, 13 March 2007 (UTC)

Good question. Ignorance is bliss? -- Zanimum 19:21, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

• I added it to the article with a couple of citations, but Zanimum removed it. I think it probably merits a brief mention, but I'll let the people who care more decide. —dgies^t_c 20:02, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

• Dgies, I see where you're going, but I'm going to vote with Zanimum on this on to keep it in the talk page; It's a self-reference.--Zegoma beach 20:56, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] CTV & Global Tv

I noted that Sioux Lookout receives CBC and TVO via retransmitters. Where does it receive CTV and Global from? --Jimj wpg 21:38, 14 March 2007 (UTC)
