[edit] Teen statement

I have removed the following unsourced comments:

Martensville is looked upon by local teens as a boring place. One teen has been quoted as saying Martensville's greatest achievement was their A&W.

This comes off sounding awfully POV without supporting citation. If someone can find a newspaper or magazine article to support these statements, please feel free to put it back. As it stands now it doesn't qualify for NPOV. 23skidoo 18:16, 18 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Growth Rate

"It is the fastest growing town in Saskatchewan, with the population growing 25% between 1996 and 2001." According to StatCan Osler, SK had a growth rate of 33.2% from 1996-2001. [[1]]

[edit] Chrome Dome?

I live in matensville and even though it's called the "Chrome Dome" I personally never knew that untill I read the Wiki on Martensville. I have always known of it as "The Arena" so I added that to the back.

I believe most teenagers and adults alike refer to the Chrome Dome as actually being the ball diamond on the east side of the parking lot near the arena. This is due to the overhang on the backstop. The arena hasn't been reffered to as the Chrome Dome as far as I know, so i edited that it. - Bret Waldner

I didn't know that Martensville had any place called chrome dome... - Adam H Acid 1 (talk) 17:30, 21 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Reverted to previous edit.

I reverted this article to the previous edit because it seemed generally accepted and the newer edit has no sources. Normally, I wouldn't worry about it, but it is something that could be found offensive.--BretWaldner 03:48, 30 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Population contradiction

The infobox says the population in 2006 was 4968. but the article says 5,100. So which is it? 23skidoo (talk) 20:22, 7 May 2008 (UTC)
