[edit] Whoa

Am I the only one who objects (and semi-disagrees with) the sentence at the end which reads, "Expo '67 in many ways marked the peak of Montreal as a city, Canadian confederation and national harmony"? Is there another way we can express a similar idea without, I don't know, making such a sweeping, biased generalization? --Diane M. Napolitano 07:58, 14 December 2006 (UTC)

I recommend moving the article Expo 67 to Expo '67 to conform with the the format of articles for Expo '58, Expo '70, Expo '88, Expo '98, etc. Cafe Nervosa 00:20, 15 November 2005 (UTC)

But what about Expo 86, it doesn't follow that pattern either. All Canadian Expos are consistent now! Nfitz 02:59, 5 January 2006 (UTC)

I believe it is called Expo 67 and not Expo '67 because the appostrophy is not used in short forms of dates in french, which is used by most Quebeckers

An event in this article is a April 27 selected anniversary (may be in HTML commment)

"Ironically, "Expo 67" was originally going to be held in Moscow, to help the Soviet Union celebrate the 50th anniversary of its revolution."

It's like rain on your wedding day...

Editing to remove reference to "irony".

[edit] My recent revert/un-revert

I'd like to publicly apologize for my recent reversion/unreversion of this article. The Wiki watchlist showed me a detrimental difference that was not, apparently, really there; I reverted this difference, but then I went back to check the history to see which was the "truest" version to revert to. Whereupon I discovered that I was apparently mislead in the first place, so I unreverted my reversion. But if someone really knows the opening date of the Expo, could you check out the article, please?

LOTS of nations missing from the national pavilions list. I added a few. Shawn, Montreal, Feb 200
