Dimensions of Chinatown, Vancouver

Hi Lani, don't know if you're active in wikipedia or not right now, but thought you'd be the person to ask to look up the actual physical area and wahtever civic statistics there are on Chinatown-proper - see [conversation] re a NYC editor who 's been changing content to downplay the existence / relevance of other Chinatowns than his own....the only way to effectively battle such people is with statistics/citations.......as far as physical reaa goes, I might be able to use the provincial basemap's tools to calculate an area for the Chinatown BIA; but I think most Vancouverites would tend to include Strathcona as part of Chinatown - your thoughts on that? I also think that some statements that while certain other areas of the city are predominantly Chinese in retail and residential character - Kingsway, South Fraser, South Victoria - they are not considered to be part of Chinatown, or to be Chinatowns.....that's hard to cite of course....the Chinatown BIA website doesn't have precise details, or much useful history in fact...so I'm wondering what you might know of, or could dig up.....Skookum1 (talk) 13:09, 19 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Larwill Park

Just made this as a start - figure you can probably add stuff on labour rallies/riots, 1930s and other matters, seemed like this was needed a long time ago.....Skookum1 (talk) 18:58, 15 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hi

The 20th anniversary of the massacre is upcoming, and I have been moved to update the articles a bit, since I imagine there will be media coverage and general interest, including by those who are too young to remember when it happened. Incredible that, really. My researches led me to this disturbing website [1]; good reason to keep improving the article, in my view! If you have time or the interest to take a look and exercise your magic, I would be very grateful. No worries if not, though!! --Slp1 (talk) 00:22, 21 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
