107:. In many places, the article only uses metric measurments. Although most of the world uses them, they are still very foreign to residents of the United States (like myself). I've been to Canada, so I have some familiarity, but many Americans have no idea how long a kilometer is, except that it's somewhat shorter than a mile. I added non-metric measurments to the climate section because I can do those particular conversions in my head, but metric and non-metric measurments should appear consistently side-by-side. Once this is done, I'll change my vote to support, but until then, I must object.

copyrights. If you upload something that is "derived" from the data, then I think it's okay. In your case, is it considered derived? I don't know. Myself, I'd like to know, as I am considering using the DEM data from geogratis and making maps for some of the
Canadian Rockies parks. In that case, I'd be deriving hillshading, combining with other data (roads, ...), and doing other cartographic design work that would make the maps for sure, a derived product and okay.
466:). Since their in the business of promoting tourism, I don't see why not they wouldn't agree? That would clear up any ambiguities and doubts. Personally, I tend to be a stickler, when it comes to copyright issues and if I'm ever in doubt, I won't use it. Again, I recommend getting more than my opinion.
542:
I think we should sort out these issues first, and try FAC again later. Other then this issue, I think the article is very good and would be even better if we are able to include the maps and air photo image. It would also benefit the broader
Knowledge (XXG) community, to have more clear guidelines
487:
As for the air photos, I don't know for sure. All I know is that
Canadian data is still copyrighted (even if they allow it to be given away for free). It's not public domain, like US government data is. I think this is a gray area, and need further opinions from others more expert about Canadian

From what I'm hearing the political tables are detracting from the quality of the article. The
Australian tables are nice but do not communicate the idea behind the tables in this article. The intention behind the tables here is to provide context of how this town relates politically to the other

This article is excellent. I would, however, like to see two changes: the economy section could do with a little more work, and I think changes need to be made to the political tables. There's no need to remove them per PZFUN (a subpage would be useless in the circumstances), but I think the core

I have added the imperial equivalents. Let me know if I missed any. It is my opinion, if anyone important or knowledgable is listening, that these common imperial-metric conversions should be a preference feature, like the date formatting. Just select in your profile which you want to see and the

If this article ever grows to include sub-pages then these political tables would be moved there. However, lacking that, I prefer to retain the two most recent elections (that is just what I thought looked best on the page) for this main page because it illustrates the voting pattern of the city
277:
Firstly, the
Australian tables aim to do the same - they're based on booth results, not on electorate results. In terms of a map - it'd be nice to see one in relation to the remainder of Canada - or at least British Columbia. I'm sorry if I've inadvertently led yoy on a wild goose chase - I was

Thanks for the clarification. I'm not entirely familiar with the legal specifics for the

Also, I think that BC and Canada are the same for copyrights. At my work we have a license to use the geo-referenced data on these airphotos, but we can do what we please with the images (give them away, publish them - once we publish an agenda they are public property, etc.).
382:
In your particular case, I don't know whether to consider it derived or not, or if
British Columbia has the same restrictions as the Government of Canada? This is as much as I know, and I'll defer to your judgment on this specific case. Maybe it's worth asking others at
59:. I'd like to see the election tables cleaned up before changing my vote to a full Support, but it looks like a very well-made article. I'm rather amazed that so much information can actually be found about a small town. Maybe I should try to do the same for mine. -

but since it is a GIS application it requires successful manipulation of the layers. I use these at work (and give them away free and publish them for public use in government agenda packages). I sought clarification about the correct tag before using them and was

I suppose we'll have to live with the clutter of imperial equivalents. By 'most', you mean 96% of the world's population, I guess. The others are the US, Burma and
Liberia; hmmmm. I note that US schools increasingly teach the metric system.

Could you be a little more specific about the tables. The problem may be due to screen resolution and browser text size which often displays tables and images differently according to their settings. It all looks fine on my screen.
