Talk:Concordia Language Villages

CLV Category

I added this page to the Concordia Language Villages category, according to the Topic Article Rule, Wikipedia:Categorization/Categories_and_subcategories.

I-Day?

Since the International Day fair twice each summer seems to be a lasting tradition, should a section be added about that? (This from a multi-year villageois) --T3thys::ben 02:06, 23 August 2007 (UTC)

I agree it's lacking; I added a brief section about I-Day, though it needs much more work.... --Elatb (talk) 09:59, 20 December 2007 (UTC)

Major Reworking

I wanted to start a discussion about my most recent edit, in case others have opinions -- I just incorporated the information about "Internal Culture" and some of the "Miscellanea" into the body of the main article. (I left all the information I couldn't incorporate in Miscellanea.) I added some references and some information under "Mission" and "Programs", but the vast majority of the changes are in the structure of the article, in an attempt to make it read better. --Elatb (talk) 09:59, 20 December 2007 (UTC)

Deletion of Miscellanea Section?

Is what is left in Miscellanea actually relevant to this article? A few points seem like they would be better suited to individual camp pages, if even appropriate there; several seem irrelevant (roads being named after donors is relatively common, I thought). The only one to my mind that would be good to include is that Lac du Bois Hackensack is the oldest site. --Elatb (talk) 09:59, 20 December 2007 (UTC)

Here is the content of the miscellanea page; it really does seem irrelevant. It seems to be unverifiable and not notable information. Avram (talk) 19:01, 7 May 2008 (UTC)

• Several Roads at the Turtle River Lake site are named after donors.
• The Norwegian Village has a stone labyrinth built with the help of visiting Norwegian Boy Scouts.
• A famous sign "Future world and local leaders at work and play" at the entrance to the site has been stolen on numerous occasions.
• The sign was also briefly supplemented with a homemade replica reading "Caution: Pretentious Sign Ahead" (until it was "accidentally" run over by a car...)
• The Spanish language villages are the most popular with four villages running at the same time.
• The French Hackensack Lac du Bois village has been around for the longest amount of time, running for its 31st year in 2007.
• The French camp has songs for "Hot Chocolate," "Baguettes," and "Salade" as well as a camp soap opera called "Plaisirs d'amour" that has been running in the program for decades.
• Many counselors covet the old red-logoed staff jackets from the time when the villages were called the International Language Villages, which was some point before 1990.
