[edit] Culture and History
This section is pretty shitty. I did some minor editing. The names of the festivals were wrong or incomplete. Ex. - International Children's Festival is actually the Northern Alberta International Children's Festival. There were a few spelling errors. The rest was poorly written. One sentence suggested that there were only two newspapers widely distributed in St. Albert.

Some of the hockey players mentioned in this article are insignificant and should not be included. Please avoid the use of bad language, it reflects poorly on this city.
[edit] Mayors
I'm new to Wikipedia and a former resident of St. Albert. I'd like to add some pages on St. Albert's current/former Mayors (none of whom are personally known to me, so there's nothing "vanity" about this). My questions are 1. Is there a Wikipedia consensus as to whether mayors of cities of St. Albert's size merit their own pages? 2. Would there be merit in adding a list of St. Albert's mayors to this page? It seems to me that there would be, but after checking out a few other cities' pages I don't see any such lists. Sarcasticidealist 00:13, 24 February 2007 (UTC)
- A List of mayors of St. Albert, Alberta could be linked in this article, just like List of mayors of Calgary, Alberta is linked in the Calgary infobox. There's also a List of mayors of Edmonton, Alberta and List of mayors of Lethbridge, Alberta. --Qyd 01:08, 24 February 2007 (UTC)
- Thanks for your feedback. It's come to my attention that the list I was using of St. Albert's mayors (from the City's website) is flawed, so I'm holding off on making that page until I get that straightened out. In the meantime, I've made a page for Paul Chalifoux. I'd like to make similar pages for St. Albert's other mayors, but I'd still like to know whether they meet Wikipedia's notability guidelines. If they do, I'd also like to hear what people think of Chalifoux page, so I don't replicate any problems with it in future mayoral pages. Sarcasticidealist 01:32, 25 February 2007 (UTC)
- I've added the category (Category:Mayors of places in Alberta). You might use the {{Cite web}} template for references, it makes them look better. Good work. --Qyd 19:07, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Population Density
Somebody just changed the population density figures. The new ones appear as two different numbers, so at least one of them is wrong. Besides that, if you divide the given population (56,310) by the given area (34.61 square km), you get an entirely new number, that is neither the old number nor either of the new ones. Can somebody case some light on any of this before I go inserting this fourth number?Sarcasticidealist 18:35, 8 March 2007 (UTC)
- calculated density for 2005 population and StatCan area, added references for easy checking. --Qyd 19:05, 8 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] History
I'd like to significantly expand the History section and separate it from the Culture section, in light of some research (of secondary sources, natch, so as not to run afoul of WP:No original research) I've been doing. Any objections? Sarcasticidealist 03:24, 29 April 2007 (UTC)
