[edit] Vandalism
This page is getting a fair amount of vandalism this past few days. The vandal seems to be on a dynamic IP, and I'm loathe to long-term block a 16 bit subnet for one vandal. I suggest brief (say 1 hr) blocks without further warning (he's been warned enough, and mostly only innocent folks on the same ISP will see the warnings). -- Finlay McWalter | Talk 00:51, 30 November 2005 (UTC)
[edit] organized crime
The Organized Crime section on the Brockville page is fantastic. I replaced the deleted paragraph on the North End gang as I feel that this is an important part of the city's culture. If however deleted it would like to explain why they felt it necessary to do so, I'm all ears.
- The section is unverifiable. Personal knowledge is not enough; Wikipedia requires published sources to confirm any information in its articles. Bearcat 00:38, 11 July 2006 (UTC)
Restored real section, and added sources.
[edit] Sports
Why is St. Mary in the "sports" section? I could see it being there if someone actually put info about St. Mary's sports in there but it's mostly extracurricular stuff. Yes, St Mary does a lot of great charity work, but it should be moved to a different section of the Brockville article. It'd be great if someone with knowledge of St Mary's sports history could write a section here.
And why no BCI section there? And why does it say St. Mary is the primary rival of TISS in many sports? I suspect someone biased from St Mary wrote that because it's just not true. BCI is a bigger rival of TISS than St Mary by far. St Mary gets crushed by the two other schools in most sports, and the BCI rowing team is excellent.
I'll probably add a BCI section later. 18 June -- VinnyMendoza
UPDATE: Okay, someone just decided to put St. Mary back in the sports, even though there was still nothing about sports in it. I made a "Charity" Section just for them. Whoever is doing this, don't put it back in Sports.
1. There's nothing about sports. 2. It completely reeks of bias, and shouldn't even be on Wikipedia. This is an ENCYCLOPEDIA, not a newsletter from St. Mary.
[edit] Media
Is there a reason why someone removed my link to our online Brockville Media site?
[edit] Hockey
What kind of a Canadian City/Town doesn't have a section on hockey? There must be something someone could say about the subject...
Does anyone online know anything about an incident in about 1930 when some kids blew a hole in the railway tunnel with explosives? ( I understand from relatives that my dad was involved but I'd love to hear the whole story ) —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 74.97.159.153 (talk) 02:44, 15 March 2007 (UTC).
