Bill & French name

[edit]

I tried to find out what year that bill was passed, but different sources gave 1971, 1974, and 1976. So until I can find something more authoritative than an online edition of a free weekly paper, I'll leave that out. --mvc 17:05, 30 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Also, I changed "Fête du déménagement" to "Journée du déménagement" because the second is far more common, and I've only seen the first in a tongue-in-cheek sort of context.

The language of the article

[edit]

I consider myself to be quite skilled in English language, but I just can't understand the sentence "It stipulated that the seigneurs of the seigneuries could not evict tenants before the winter snows had melted." without looking to the dictionary. Could somebody fix it so it becomes understandable to people who are not native English speakers? --Dijxtra 14:46, 1 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

There, I've tried to clean that up a little. Is this clearer now? English speakers who haven't studied the history of France or Québec are unlikely to know what a seigneurie is, but hopefully it's possible to guess from context, and hey, that's why it's a link. --mvc 22:36, 5 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, yes, far better. I know this is not simple english wikipedia, but I nonetheless approve an improvement like this. Thanks. --Dijxtra 09:43, 6 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

American moving day?

[edit]

What about American moving days (of past)?

Probably can be added, but is there still a moving day left anywhere besides Montreal? 132.205.44.5 00:16, 11 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Assessment

[edit]

I have assessed this as a Start Class, as it seem to have enough sourced information, although it needs a lot of work (organization, inline citation style, clearly defined lead). I have assessed this as low importance, as it is a highly specific topic within Canada. Cheers, CP 19:41, 28 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The benefits of moving on the same day (or around the same time)

[edit]

Having a moving day is not all bad. It creates a larger pool of apartments to chose from. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.91.216.251 (talk) 14:34, 1 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I also think it would be a good idea to add the advantages. At first I thought it was a hoax when a friend told me about this. Only because of this comment I understood why any place would choose such a chaos. Jschoder (talk) 09:32, 6 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for the suggestion. I will shortly add a paragraph on the "advantages" of a universal moving day. Hope it helps. Bouchecl (talk) 16:02, 6 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Narrow curving staircases?

[edit]

What's the significance of the text and photo of the narrow curving staircases? The problems that they present are irrelevant to the topic of the article. jxm (talk) 16:29, 1 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
