Welcome

Welcome to the new WikiProject Quebec. The creation of this project was made out of necessity and better organization for articles relating to Quebec. Please take this time to familiarize yourself with the new layout of this project. The purpose of keeping the project's mainpage under 37kb, many sections have been divided into subpages. To mark the occasion of this new WikiProject and its members, I have created a WP:Quebec userbox. Mkdwtalk 07:15, 24 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Provincial templates update

Should the provincial templates be updated with the standard {{Navbox generic}} layout? Please comment at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Canada#Province templates. --Qyd 16:59, 28 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Great!

I'm happy to see that this new project exists on the english wiki. I hope that there can be fruitful collaboration with the fr:Projet:Québec on the french wiki (I added yesterday the interwiki links). Cordially, Boréal 16:27, 11 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Ottawa, Montreal

Ottawa and Montreal are up for renaming at WP:RM, discussion at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Current Local City Time. They want them renamed to Ottawa, Ontario and Montreal, Quebec, even though these cities are obviously the primary meaning of Ottawa and Montreal. 70.51.9.156 06:17, 26 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

city naming conventions

At Wikipedia talk:Naming conventions (settlements), there is a discussion going on to make city names match the way Associated Press names them (thus introducing a significant US bias) 70.51.9.114 06:06, 27 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

noticeboards

Quebec and Montreal should have noticeboards. 70.51.9.114 06:26, 27 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hello everyone. I hope you'll forgive a little bit of interwiki (non-commercial) advertising. A Quebec politics wikiproject has just been launched on the French wikipedia.

Murals of the Dufferin interchange

Has someone taken images of the murals at the Dufferin interchange? If not, do so! We can't let they be gone without having images for the Commons! I was there earlier today and 2 of them are already almost illegible from the recent rains! Circeus 01:30, 13 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

How to upload Coat of Arms for municipalies

I'm creating lots of municipality pages (see Maskinongé and Les Chenaux RCM pages) and I'd need some advice/help on how to upload coat of arms. What type of license is it ? and what kind of authorization is needed to upload it ? This is all very confusing to me. Thanks Lotheric 16:41, 24 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

A specific drawing of a coats of arms is copyrighted. We can only use it under fair use. However, its blazon (its heraldic description) cannot be copyrighted, and any other drawing of the arms may be used. This is why flags we have drawn are normally okay (unless they include trademarks, which are a whole 'nother can of worms. Circeus 16:52, 24 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
For the record, I don't think Wikipedia should call "coats of arms" arms that were not granted by the Canadian Heraldic Authority. Circeus 16:53, 24 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks, I'm not that good at drawing lol, I'll leave that to others ;) Lotheric 16:59, 24 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

huge flag woohoo

Why is the flag in the {{Mauricie}} template so huge? Not that the flag's an ugly one, but it's taking up a lot of space. Is this happening with any other templates? --dragfyre 14:12, 27 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Quebec folklore, legends, stories

With the rich history of legends and ghost stories, we should be able to create quite a large category :) something like Legends of Quebec that would include legends, folklore, ghost and morality tales, I've heard so many in my childhood, it would be great to see them here.--Tallard 11:47, 6 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Template merge with WikiProject Canada

Like the other provinces, this project's template is being merged with the {{WikiProject Canada}} template. You can now tag articles talk pages with {{WikiProject Canada | qc=yes}}. This will allow you to assess articles using class= and importance=. Once you have tagged a few and waited a few days for the bot to notice the changes, you will have a WP:1.0 assessment table here. --Arctic Gnome (talk • contribs) 23:25, 19 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hydro Quebec transmission system pictures and maps

I need pictures of HQ's AC 735 kV pylons (all four designs shown here) and the +/- 450 kV HVDC Quebec - New England Transmission line. A picture of a dual-circuit 315 kV power line and a map of the 735 kV transmission system would be nice as well. They will be used in Hydro-Québec's electricity transmission system. Cheers.

Quebec nationhood discussion at the Quebec article

There is currently a debate on the Quebec article talk page about whether or not to include in the introduction mention that Quebecers have been recognized as a nation (both federal and provincial motions). Anybody who wants to voice their opinion on this (any opinion) are invited to join the discussion at Talk:Quebec. For those who want to review the discussion, it occupies several sections, most of the bottom of the page, in fact, as well as several recurring sections now archived. I believe a wider debate may help build a stronger consensus.--Ramdrake (talk) 14:15, 25 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Québécois

Notability

Is it possible to find some more sources of information on these topics; High Life Music, Mineminemine, RAFaL, Marielle Houle, Toronto-Montreal rivalry? It is tagged with a notability tag, and there are currently 31 articles in the scope of wikiproject Canada which are tagged with notability concerns, so I am contacting all the article creation editors to see if the quantity of notable articles can be reduced, and quality increased. For more help see this note. Kind Regards SriMesh | talk 18:08, 24 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Disambiguation

While there are not nearly as many identical names are there once were (some have changed, some have merged), I think an agreed disambiguation system is necessary. My proposal is:

  • Disambiguation first by region, not by MRC unless strictly necessary
    • I.e. "Saint-X, Estrie, Quebec" not "Saint-X, Le Haut-Saint-François Regional County Municipality, Quebec", not "Saint-X, Le Haut-Saint-François, Quebec" (because of not "Saint-Séverin, Robert-Cliche, Quebec").
    • Usage is split here, with all three forms are found, but none very common.
  • When disambiguating by type, use only the short form (city, municipality, parish, village, township) rather than the full one, and place it before the comma. If one entity is significantly larger/well-known than the other, only disambiguate the smaller one
    • I.e. "Granby, Quebec" and "Granby (township), Quebec", but "Valcourt (city), Quebec" and "Valcourt (township), Quebec".
    • This is the system used for village/towns of New York state. The few cases with articles (all three here) currently use "City, Quebec (disambig)".

Unless there is disagreement about this, I'll put it on the project page and start disambiguating. Circeus (talk) 17:47, 2 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Well, I went ahead and applied it everywhere. Hopefully it won't cause too many issues. Circeus (talk) 03:36, 6 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Changes to the WP:1.0 assessment scheme

As you may have heard, we at the Wikipedia 1.0 Editorial Team recently made some changes to the assessment scale, including the addition of a new level. The new description is available at WP:ASSESS.

  • The new C-Class represents articles that are beyond the basic Start-Class, but which need additional references or cleanup to meet the standards for B-Class.
  • The criteria for B-Class have been tightened up with the addition of a rubric, and are now more in line with the stricter standards already used at some projects.
  • A-Class article reviews will now need more than one person, as described here.

Each WikiProject should already have a new C-Class category at Category:C-Class_articles. If your project elects not to use the new level, you can simply delete your WikiProject's C-Class category and clarify any amendments on your project's assessment/discussion pages. The bot is already finding and listing C-Class articles.

Please leave a message with us if you have any queries regarding the introduction of the revised scheme. This scheme should allow the team to start producing offline selections for your project and the wider community within the next year. Thanks for using the Wikipedia 1.0 scheme!

Link to "Historica Heritage Minute" deleted from "External Links" section of "Louis-Joseph Papineau" article

I posted a link to the "Historica Heritage Minutes" feature on "Hart & Papineau" in the "External Links" section for this article. This link, and similar "Historica Heritage Minutes" links in other articles, were deleted the next day. These Historica "Heritage Minutes" are very informative mini-documentaries about interesting people and events in Canadian history. Can someone at Wikipedia please tell me why the links to the "Hitorica Heritage Minutes" sites were deleted from the Wikipedia pages on Papineau and from similar Wiki articles?

This is the URL of one the links that was deleted:

Hi,

Thanks for your note. I will check out the guidelines before adding additional links. Also, could you please identify the nature of the errors in the links that I entered previously - I would appreciate any specific advice you could offer in regard to the changes I should make to the format of the external links.

Origin of the name "Québec" - l'Origin du nom du Québec

I am questioning the origin of the name "Québec" as outlined on the main profile found when searching Wikipedia. On the Wikipedia profile, it states that "The name "Quebec", which comes from the Algonquin word kepék meaning "(it) narrows".

During a recent trip to Great Britain I found a small village by the name of "Quebec" in the north, near Scotland. This can be verified with MultiMap.com. The name seems almost Breton to me, from Britanny (Bretagne). So I did another map search for the name Québec in France, and lo and behold the name appears as a small village just south of Le Havre on the English Channel (Le Manche).

I therefore contest the idea that the name is a North American native (autochtone) name. I do not believe that the British and French villages named their places after the province of Québec.
