[edit] Mennonites
For the second time I have deleted the reference to a concentrated Mennonite population in River Heights. According to the 2001 census, Mennonites comprised 2.2% of the population of River Heights, compared to 2.6% for Winnipeg overall. This can not be claimed to be a concentrated population. Conversely, the area was 10.9% Jewish compared to 2.1% for Winnipeg as a whole so this is evidence of concentration. I think the writer continues to insert this a method of self-promotion of a particular religion which has no place in an encyclopedia.--207.161.47.175 01:36, 26 May 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Wellington
I find the phrase "Wellington Crescent, as it is known to many in Winnipeg..." odd because Wellington Crescent is the name of a street, not just a name locals use. The perception of affluence applies to the full length of the street, and not to streets that are nearby, or even a block away. But I'm unfamilliar with wikiformat, and thought there might be a reason for it, so I'm too shy to edit.--207.161.45.138 11:39, 1 June 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Proposed page move
As per WP:CANSTYLE#Neighbourhoods, this article should be moved to River Heights, Winnipeg. In accordance with the guideline, however, the move is first being raised on the talk page. Skeezix1000 (talk) 16:54, 20 March 2008 (UTC)
