Nominations

GA

• Quebec has recently been nominated as a Good Article (Talk:Quebec) in the Places Subsection. Its candidature needs review : please do it yourself here if you did not contribute in the writing. -- Offiikart (Talk) 17:04, 20 June 2011 (UTC)

Quebec article was "quickfailed" for GA due to insufficent in-line references. This article is rated top (but should have been rated highest) on the importance scale of Quebec project and attention should be given to improve it as soon as possible considering that it is the main article on Quebec-related subject. Also, please consider reviewing and improving the information already presented in the article before adding or expanding. Merci de votre collaboration! -- Offiikart^Talk 18:43, 4 July 2011 (UTC)

• Partition of Quebec was created on December 7 by User:DW Geoff, a user name which obviously puts me immediately in mind of the infamous User:DW (a/k/a Angelique, JillandJack, A. Lafontaine, etc.); I just caught it as an uncategorized stub a few minutes ago. It may be a topic that merits a suitably neutral encyclopedic treatment, but it'll certainly need monitoring and discussion as to the best way to handle it. Bearcat 01:33, 3 February 2007 (UTC)

• Le Livre noir du Canada Anglais - NPOV disputed
• Louis-Alexandre Taschereau - NPOV & clean-up work needed
• Municipal reorganization in Quebec - ALL the city links needs to be correctly formatted. I had started it but it seems to never have saved *sob* Circeus

• Éric Lapointe - Peacocks everywhere. I tried to fix it up, but it just got messed up again by someone in San Diego who really loves him. - Sweet Nightmares 02:05, 6 February 2013 (UTC)

Naming issues

• CEGEPs: Should this category be named "Quebec CEGEPs" or "Quebec cegeps"? Circeus 18:57, Apr 19, 2005 (UTC)
  • I would say "Quebec CEGEPs", "CEGEPs of Quebec" or "CEGEPs in Quebec"... We'd have to check similar categories to choose which one would be most "standard-like". I agree that "CEGEP" should be plural. I think it should be uppercase; this is the usual convention, from what I know, in the press (it is an acronymn afterall). I wonder if an acute accent should be upon the first "E", however. --Liberlogos 19:18, 19 Apr 2005 (UTC)
    • AFAIK, CEGEP has not been lexicalized in English as it has in French ("cégep"), so it should be considered an acronym. The OQLF's GDT lists the English term as "CEGEP", with no accent. --Fbriere 11:01, 20 Apr 2005 (UTC)
      • Why not simply Category:CEGEPs, since there is no other jurisdiction that has them? (As far as I know). Indefatigable 01:07, 21 Apr 2005 (UTC)
        • Very well, I'll move the articles ASAP and nominate the cats at WP:CFD
        • Done, migrated, cat in nomination for CFD

• Saint-Leonard, Quebec → Saint Leonard, Quebec (discuss) — Is this a case where we can clearly state that the proposed name is the more standard usage in English? An anon user thinks so. I don't. Bearcat 02:56, 18 January 2007 (UTC)

But wasn't the discussion closed with a decision to move to Saint Leonard?Shawn in Montreal 04:55, 18 January 2007 (UTC)

This is a new debate that started two days ago. Bearcat 06:16, 18 January 2007 (UTC)

• Discussion initiated at Trois-Rivières, Quebec and Saguenay, Quebec regarding whether the pages should remain at their current titles or be moved to Trois-Rivières and Saguenay. Bearcat 03:21, 16 August 2007 (UTC)

• Official Language Act (Quebec): There is a proposal to re-name this article; please see the Talk page of the article - comments welcome. Mr Serjeant Buzfuz (talk) 16:08, 31 January 2012 (UTC)

• Diploma of College Studies: There is an ongoing discussion as to whether it should be listed as "Diploma of College Studies" or "Diploma of Collegial Studies." It has been moved a couple of times already. See Talk:Diploma of College Studies. —JmaJeremy^TALK_CONTRIBS 06:44, 24 June 2012 (UTC)

• Matapédia Valley: Should it keep the accent? I'm not too familiar with naming conventions. - Sweet Nightmares 02:07, 6 February 2013 (UTC)

Discussion

Discussions dating back more than one year should be archived.

Diploma of College Studies

At Talk:Diploma of College Studies it has been proposed that the page be renamed to "Diploma of Collegial Studies." It has already been moved a couple of times, and it remains unclear which is the official English translation for the CEGEP degree. —JmaJeremy^TALK_CONTRIBS 06:47, 24 June 2012 (UTC)

Quebec#Quiet Revolution

At Talk:Quebec discussion on whether all mention of the FLQ should be removed from the Quebec article. DoubleBlue (talk) 19:31, 1 December 2008 (UTC)

All mentions not removed but re-writen to be as neutral as possible. E.g.: "terrorist group" changed for "militant group" -- Offiikart (Talk) 16:53, 20 June 2011 (UTC)

Québécois

At Talk:Québécois - A number of issues centring on whether the word Québécois, used in French, may have an ethnic or linguistic rather than territorial meaning. Joeldl (talk) 05:54, 19 March 2008 (UTC)

Montreal Expos

• Montreal Expos → Washington Nationals: The issue of merging these two articles has come up again. The discussion is at Talk:Montreal Expos#Current Merge Discussion (previous merge discussions listed at Talk:Montreal Expos#Previous merge discussions. Skeezix1000 14:15, 26 June 2007 (UTC)

List of Quebec television series imports and exports

Do we really need a list of all the television shows for which Quebec television networks have produced their own new Quebec-specific version of an earlier British, American or French series such as Deal or No Deal, Fort Boyard, Loft Story or The Office? Or should this be revised into a list of shows that have aired in Quebec as straight French dubbings of the original show, such as Les Feux de l'amour, Top Modèles or Les Simpson? No other place on the planet, FWIW, has a list on Wikipedia of the former type, but the latter does have potential value as a reference list to what the French titles of dubbed series have been.
