[edit] Copyright concerns
This article appears to be largely an extract from the history text at the Village of Chase website. It is not clear whether the owner of the copyright has given the required permission for its use here. If the holder of the copyright to this text permits its use under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License, it can remain here. To do that, the village would need to note this on the source page on its website by displaying a notice to this effect there with a link to the text of the GFDL or send an e-mail from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en at wikimedia dot org or a postal letter to the Wikimedia Foundation. These messages must explicitly permit use under the GFDL. KenWalker | Talk 06:23, 24 January 2007 (UTC)
- I'd say the article needs a rewrite, at least a condensation and de-POV'ing of what's there now, the quote from the Village website. I could make some basic stabs at it - linking context/content to other Wiki-articled subjects and targeting a couple of POV/promotional comments, but overall and in any such case I'd say that the Village Website should only be a source, not the content; too close to WP:COI for one thing. Otherwise the Wiki standard that could evolve would be simply quoting town/village/muni brochures, with all their vaguenesses despite occasional bits of detail you won't find anywhere else. More thoughts on this later; just wanted a quick two bits on it before I get distracted elsewhere.Skookum1 20:56, 3 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Thompson Country or Shuswap Country?
Just after I added the Thompson cat, I realized that perhaps Chase is more Category:Shuswap Country, what with beng on Little Shuswap Lake and al. Anyone have thoughts on this? Maybe both cats? As Chase is more or less on the "boundary" between the two "countries".Skookum1 (talk) 15:09, 10 March 2008 (UTC)
