Quebec was a Geography and places good articles nominee, but did not meet the good article criteria at the time. There may be suggestions below for improving the article. Once these issues have been addressed, the article can be renominated. Editors may also seek a reassessment of the decision if they believe there was a mistake. | ||||||||||

This article is written in Canadian English, which has its own spelling conventions (colour, centre, travelled, realize, analyze) and some terms that are used in it may be different or absent from other varieties of English.

Québec
Bonjour, le nom de la province est « Québec » et non « Quebec. » unsigned
The above recommendation has gone unanswered; the Canadian Style does indeed specify that Québec should be spelled with l'accent aigu in English, and as the page is written in Canadian English I propose “reversing” the redirection of this page to Québec. Nebes (talk) 00:05, 3 February 2018 (UTC)
Ethnic Origin
The Ethnic origin table is way wrong the numbers of Québecers in Québec ins't only of 2%. The table should be delete and replace with accurate data. see Statistic canada web site. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.36.144.50 (talk) 23:40, 9 February 2017 (UTC)
Section on climate not internally consistent.
The section on Climate variously says that Quebec has either 3 or 4 climate areas. Somebody with more knowledge than me should edit to be more internally consistent - in other words, say that Quebec has 3 climate zones or say that Quebec has 4 climate zones, but not both.
The first paragraph of the section (as of Oct 19, 2017) says "Quebec has three main climate regions... humid continental..., subarctic..., [and] arctic...." The fourth paragraph of the section reads differently: "Quebec is divided into four climatic zones: arctic, subarctic, humid continental and East maritime."
I recognize that there may be different systems for judging climate, but the lack of consistency just makes the section confusing. If under one climate system, eastern Quebec has an East maritime climate and under another it doesn't, that's OK, but the section should explain and clarify.

There is a single use of trans_title which causes a CS1 Error. It should be changed to trans-title. Regards, 2A04:4540:110A:6C01:791F:F063:4661:2B2C (talk) 11:11, 10 November 2017 (UTC)

– The city is officially known as Quebec. It can cause confusion between the province and the city. I believe there is no primary topic for this subject. This is similar to the discussion we have on the primary topic situation we had on New York. 2601:183:101:58D0:DDA2:4C76:3D0B:BC78 (talk) 10:20, 23 June 2018 (UTC)
- Oppose moves. Though this certainly appears on the surface to be a repeat of the New York situation, it isn't quite as simple as that. The city is occasionally called Quebec without a qualifier in reliable sources, but not to the same extent as New York, so I don't believe these moves to be necessary. ONR (talk) 13:40, 23 June 2018 (UTC)
- Oppose. Not even close. Srnec (talk) 18:41, 23 June 2018 (UTC)
- Oppose The City is Ville de Quebec, or Quebec City in English https://www.ville.quebec.qc.ca/en/index.aspx. Our article is at Quebec City, so what are we disambiguating from? Anyone looking for the city will see the note and link at the start of the article. No other Canadian province uses this form of disambiguation in the title. Meters (talk) 19:06, 23 June 2018 (UTC)
- Oppose. Unnecessary disambig. Rreagan007 (talk) 20:01, 23 June 2018 (UTC)
- Oppose – It is Quebec City ad Quebec, just like New York and New York City. CookieMonster755✉ 02:30, 24 June 2018 (UTC)
- Oppose, per Cookie Monster. New York was a bad move. This extends the idea to a situation where it is even harder to justify. Nine Zulu queens (talk) 06:11, 24 June 2018 (UTC)
- Question - If this discussion is closed without a consensus to move both pages, should I open up a discussion proposing New York (state) be moved back to New York as the primary topic? --2601:183:101:58D0:3545:2E73:437A:CAC9 (talk) 14:29, 24 June 2018 (UTC)
- Not sure about that since several people here are arguing that Quebec City is referred to as Quebec far less of then New York City is referred to as New York so I don’t see a consensus against moving this article as evidence that the New York (State) article needs to be moved. Each case needs to be evaluated on their own merits.--76.65.41.59 (talk) 14:34, 24 June 2018 (UTC)
