Stop vandalizing Local Issues on Regina page or I will report you.--216.174.134.2 18:02, 19 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Consider yourself reported.Why do you insist on vandalising local issues ? --206.163.235.114 22:07, 19 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I am not the one that got banned from editing the Regina wiki,and I am not the one making unwelcome remarks to other members when edits are made that you dont agree with. Listen to reason and be flexible and everything will work out for everyone. Not everyone can possibly agree with anyone else, but thats why compromise is something of a necessity on wiki.Friesguy 05:04, 20 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Aerial photos of Regina

Fascinating to me as an old Regina guy. Is "Over Winston Knorr Collegiate" a shot of the new residential development to the southeast on Arcola, north of the new graveyard? I haven't been to Regina lately but my Mum has moved to that part of town and it seems to me that her house overlooks an artificial lake that must be that one. What do you propose to photograph from aloft when you return to the air? Masalai 06:29, 17 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Oh really. Well, it certainly works. Those ponds in the new residential subdivisions look really terrific. Your idea of providing photos of new building projects in the central business district is an excellent one. Not for the main article, perhaps, but maybe the "Neighbourhoods" sub-article (which, truth to tell, looks a bit lame in its current, under-development state) could have a new downtown section added with your proposed photos. Someone has added an empty "to-do" template in the discussion page of the main article, which doesn't seem very helpful; it would be interesting to know what an experienced editor would have to say. Take a look sometime at the article on Brisbane, Australia, which it seems to me is by contrast rather a mess. Masalai 01:47, 18 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

There are magnificent aerial photos of Regina at http://www.globalairphotos.com/gallery/sk/Regina/southeast/2003/11. They are of course for commercial use and are for sale. But they might give you some ideas for shots you could try and duplicate when you make your next venture aloft. I do think it a pity that there are no photos available of Regina in winter, when it really is at its most interesting and lovely in many respects. Masalai 01:57, 18 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Public, separate and private schools

Brian, I somewhat suspect that you are the editor who inserted the comments I refer to below:

Do I detect a bit of POV in this section that might reasonably be pruned? I was about to adjust slightly for the fact that, whereas in previous years, Catholic children were legally not permitted to enroll in "public" schools and non-Catholic children in "separate" schools, today there is a much more inclusivist franchise. And then I noted the subtle mentions of home schooling being "small but growing" and the new private schools similarly being "small but growing." Am I missing something here? I think we need to avoid anything smacking of politics in such a highly-charged matter. Of course I have not -- as per my previous comments -- presumed to edit out these adverbs, but...comments, please? Masalai 10:16, 16 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I do not want to get into a thing here: as I say, editors should consult before unilaterally making big changes. Do you feel strongly about these editorial adverbs? Kind regards. Mac. Masalai 10:16, 16 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
