[edit] Famous Maple Ridgers
I've added a very brief list of famous Maple Ridge people. I'll try to expand it as I get more names.
I think the list of "famous" people should be significantly culled.
I think that someone (I don't know if I'm "qualified" enough to do it on my own as a non-member) should remove Brenden Morrison from the list, seeing as he was born/raised in Pitt Meadows... I know there isn't much distinction between the two municipalities to the casual observer but they *are* two separate places and should be treated as such.
[edit] Population
' the population is closer to 73,000..."not over 91,000" see: http://www.bcstats.gov.bc.ca/DATA/pop/pop/mun/Mun9605a.asp this shoudl be changed
[edit] more on the history
I think that there are several key points in the history that we could easily add, although I don't have suitable references right now. Mainly, the amalgamation of the smaller villages to make the municipality (Haney, Whonnock, Albion, Ruskin, etc.). Also, something about the 'new downtown core' and the associated political fallout. So those things are on the to-do list as far as I can tell. Spebudmak 22:12, 13 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Innappropriate?
Does anyone else find the "aka Meth Town" comment in one of the opening paragraphs innappropriate? I don't think it's necessary and if I knew how I would edit it. Anyone else agree/disagree? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 142.58.195.196 (talk) 00:26, 4 January 2007 (UTC). -Never mind, its been changed
[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Coat of arms maple ridge.jpg
Image:Coat of arms maple ridge.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 06:25, 2 June 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Government and Politics of Maple ridge
It's perhaps a little excessive having this separate article, when neither article is over-long; I suppose there will be no objections to merging it? . DGG (talk) 03:40, 8 July 2007 (UTC)
- Support. Most of that information can be stuffed into the infobox anyway. Carson 03:43, 8 July 2007 (UTC)
- Support, nless there were a whole non-OR article to be using this title; and that "politics" is a loaded word and invites SPAs and vandals (as if vandals need an invite). yeah, no other minor city has anything like this, merge 'em.Skookum1 (talk) 03:25, 22 April 2008 (UTC)
