[edit] Original Research

I removed the following link as it does qualify as OR:

If there can be found a more reliable source than a Tripod site that even admits that the info came from "Family and friends of my grandfather" I would be glad to add it back in myself. Thought I would at least put it here for others to have a chance at researching. Have to admit, the pictures ARE cool though. exit2dos2000 09:19, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] 226 Area Code ?

is there any citation for this edit ? [1]

Yes. I changed it to link to Area code 519/226. PKT 15:52, 17 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Rename page

Rename: Owen Sound, OntarioOwen Sound

Per WP:CANSTYLE, this seems to be the primary or only use of the term "Owen Sound". an internet search of this term (excluding Wikipedia mirrors, and the terms Ontario and Canada) yields a few hundred thousand hits, the first ten pages of which are all businesses (or linkfarms) related to the city. Owen Sound currently redirects to Owen Sound, Ontario. Mindmatrix 03:14, 7 June 2008 (UTC)

  • Support - Google search on "Owen Sound" seems to be overwhelmingly about this city; I can't seem to find any other Owen Sounds and no WP disambiguation issues have emerged to date. Dl2000 (talk) 03:56, 7 June 2008 (UTC)
