[stats canada figures for Nelson]

Some of the edits have an excessively "complainy" tone; this violates Wikipedia's NPOV policy. I'm thinking of the air quality guy and whoever said Shambles is "expensive". Because "expensive" is completely subjective I have deleted it completely. Wikipedia is not supposed to be a soapbox - you can write a letter to the NDN or complain on the shambhala boards if you think they charge too much.

As for the air quality section, as is in spite of its rather soft language it seems just a tad overly opinionated for an encyclopedia entry. It would be good to make the language more "objective" and provide harder statistics. PS your air quality link is broken.

Overall though I really like the way this article is coming along!

New image

First off, the image is very nice. One question though - isn't the body of water Kootenay Lake? I don't remember a "Peace River" in the Kootenays - only the one up north near Fort Nelson.(I've temporarily reworked the caption to be more generic until this can be sorted out.) --Ckatzchatspy 16:57, 28 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

That is a nice photo. I agree with Ckatz though - the photo appears to have been taken on Kootenay Lake just off downtown Nelson looking east up Kootenay Lake towards the 'Orange Bridge'. Nelson is on the right side of the photo with the downtown off the edge of the photo. Al guy 01:16, 1 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
