[edit] POV edits

I've reverted the POV additions again. Please, if you feel that they belong here, give reasons for that choice. --Kickstart70 00:34, 18 March 2006 (UTC)

No, I think you're in the right there. To me, that was, without a question, POV. --Buchanan-Hermit™..CONTRIBS..SPEAK! 04:22, 18 March 2006 (UTC)

the latest edition is simply not a POV; rather, they are facts that show how the increase in density is negatively affecting the steveston community.—Preceding unsigned comment added by 154.20.79.235 (talkcontribs)

Please sign your posts. I've reverted it, because the writing of this issue was POV. I agree with the sentiment; the density is negatively impacting Steveston, in my opinion...however, Wikipedia operates on the principles of WP:NPOV and WP:Verifiability. My opinions, and yours, do not matter. --Kickstart70-T-C 14:58, 24 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] image?

I was thinking of uploading this image from the VPL website. Do you like it, or is it too blurry? -- TheMightyQuill 19:49, 5 June 2006 (UTC)

It is a bit, plus the copyright notice on the bottom of the page doesn't help the legality of posting it. --Kickstart70-T-C 20:11, 5 June 2006 (UTC)
It says that on all images on the VPL site, but {{PD-Canada}} applies if it was created before 1949. -- TheMightyQuill 20:34, 5 June 2006 (UTC)
Fair enough...do we have a date for that photograph? --Kickstart70-T-C 20:47, 5 June 2006 (UTC)
1900s. Go to the Search and type cannery.

[edit] Location

The lede locates Steveston with respect to Finn Slough. Finn Slough is a much smaller community that is really not at all easy to find unless you know it well. Steveston is larger & far easier to find. If anything, Finn Slough's location would be found with respect to Steveston, rather than v-v. It's like finding the Earth by finding the moon first. The Finn Slough article is also much shorter & has no images. Do we have an editor from Finn Slough here? --JimWae 06:52, 31 July 2007 (UTC)
