1) I would like to know why the neutrality of the "Burrard Bridge" article is now contested. I, not a Vancouverite, am principal editor of it, who reshaped what was there, clarifying the engineering, historical, and site information (inserting illustrative photogaphs). I also separated and put in chronological order reports on ongoing developments regarding the bicycle lane issue. I'm happy to see that subsequent contributions to that history have followed the format. I visit it from time to time to make sure that notes added are all *documented* with links to independent press, civic and other public sources. Contents of these will disagree among themselves and vary in accuracy, neutrality, relevance. Such is the nature of public discussion. That way the article serves as an updated history of a public planning situation of a kind that occurs in many countries, also as a good Wiki source for those who want information about current developments there. Query: therefore, what in the *editing of this article* is considered non-neutral?

(I also deleted vanitas photos, leaving those in text that are illustrative of the text. Thus the old complaint about that on the Discussion page is out of date.)

2) Why does it have a "Low Importance" ranking? What would the Project require of an article on this Bridge, demonstrably important to Vancouver in many ways, to give it a better ranking? Alethe (talk)

There has been a little bit of activity at the Wikimedia Cascadia page at Meta, along with its associated talk page. If you have any thoughts on this proposed organization, I am all ears (as I know others are as well). Feedback? Interest? Questions? --Another Believer _(Talk) 16:14, 30 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

It is with a heavy heart that I pass on the news that one of our local Wikipedians, Franamax, has passed away. Condolences can be left at his talk page here. The Interior (Talk) 22:01, 30 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I was very sad to learn of his passing. Late, since I haven't been back here in awhile, but if anyone would like to add their condolences. Fran was an active participants for most of our conversations and after a battle with lung cancer passed away on November 25. Mkdw^talk 22:15, 14 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
