Talk:Glace Bay

Removing exteral link

I am removing the link to the gbalumini. If someone wants people to go to there website, thats fine, but please put links in apporiate places, like maybe the Glace Bay high school page, if one exists.--Kirkoconnell 15:35, 22 April 2006 (UTC)

On second though, I am removing all reference to the The Glace Bay High School Alumni Association as it is NOT one of the most popular community organizations in Glace Bay and clearly shows of self promotion on the behalf of whoever added that.--Kirkoconnell 15:39, 22 April 2006 (UTC)

I reverted a lot of seriously incorrect ro just plain silly information. Please do not revert it. The information IS incorrect. --Kirkoconnell 01:08, 7 May 2007 (UTC)

                                          Thanks ...

Fauna of Glace Bay

I removed this from the section on flora and fauna. I don't know what animals really are there (e.g. bald eagles? pheasant? dire wolves?), so I encourage someone who does to get rid of the jokes and put the paragraph back in.

Glace Bay has a large amount of forests and swamp surrounding the town and within the town limits. Mammals present in Glace Bay include squirrels, rabbits, llamas, fox, deer, mice, beavers, muskrats, bigfoot, yeti, moogles, leprachauns, fairies, lions, tigers, bears (oh my!), cats, dogs, humans, dire wolves, sabre-toothed tigers, Woolly Mammoths, dinosaurs, The Loch Ness Monster, aliens, and coyotes . Bird species include ducks, bald eagles, great horned owls, Canada geese, crows, chocobos, emus, emos, seagulls, and pigeons. Pheasant are occasionally seen around wooded areas. Smaller birds such as robins, black capped chickadees, and sparrows are also present. Frogs,salamanders, and snakes are also common in Glace Bay. They also include various pokemon. Such as: pikachu, charmander, quagsire, and yomomma.

Discussion on information placed in the article.

Because people seem to be insisting that I am reverting needless I thought I would open discussion here. This is the text that I keep reverting:

• As part of the C.B.R.M. Glace bay is represented municipally by Mayor John W. Morgan, a Glace Bay native. Morgan has a tested IQ of 176, (Cape Bretoner Magazine, June 22 1999). While attending college at St. Francis Xavier University, Morgan patented one of the earliest designs for a retractable syringe. Morgan is a close friend of American author and philosopher Chris Langan.

In the John Morgan article itself, it has been resolved that the IQ is not sourcable information and therefore likely false, disclaimed by the man himself to me although that is inadmissable admitedly, and sourced to a paper "Cape Bretoner Magazine" which I have found is or was a real magazine that dealt with political issues to an extent. My only problem is the date listed, June 22 1999, which was over a year before John entered the Mayors race and entered the public eye. I think this is a dubious reference in the least and I therefore reject it is improbable that it would be valid, given the time frame. You cannot just re-source it with a new time frame, this is the one used to source. Don't try to be clever.

Second, whilst John studied at STFX and studied science, chemistry to be exact, I have yet to find him listed on ANY designs of the retractable syringe. Here is the canadian patent for the retractable syringe: http://patents1.ic.gc.ca/details?patent_number=2142731. All the details are on that page and nowhere does it state it was even discovered in Canada. So I reject that unsourced claim as bogus.

As for the claims that Chris Langanis a personal friend, I cannot find ONE piece of evidence that they were ever in the same country together. Chris lives on a farm in Missouri for crying out loud. He is 10 years older and never finished college. They have almost nothing in common, besides a claim of high IQ's, of course Chris' test have been verfied on on TV show whereas we have absolutely no evidence of the same for Morgan.

Also, I have searched town articles on wikipedia, and besides the fact that the local mayor if the town is big enough has he own article, they do not mention anything beyond terms of service and meaningful events. IQ, personal friends and almost everything that is being included in this article is never included in the TOWNS article.

Other things such as changing the name from Glace Bay to Morganville, clearly vandalism, have been reverted. Also the use of my name as a notable person from Glace Bay seems to be a popular topic reverted. Please, lets discuss why we should include any of this data? Also, You IP 14.... seem to have contributed only one piece of information in all the articles you have ever edited, John Morgan's supposed IQ. Could you please contribute more then unsourced, fanastic, disproven, claims and could you also be sure to include this information in articles that it is relavent. Thank you. I hope we can open some dialogue here. -Kirkoconnell 17:29, 11 October 2007 (UTC)

KO That long rambling blah blah blah story is why you are often banned by the Wiki and got your ass regected flat out by the Vandalproof status dudes. You should respect the opinion of the other editors. You claim the issues are settled on the John Morgan site when actually you have just frozen everyone else out of that site to stop any further discussion.
