History

I would really like to see a history section in this article. Unfortunatley, I do not no the history of Ohsweken. Wuffyz 16:43, 13 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I don't know too much about the history either, but we might be able to build in a little history into the article if we research the dates surrounding things that are already in the article. Like dates of establishment, maybe a date of incorporation? fet mar (talk) 22:34, 3 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I found some information on the founding of Ohsweken and started a history section with that. Not a pretty story but it's there. I hope subsequent additions will flush this story out fet mar (talk) 20:52, 4 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I want to know more about the name Ohsweken. fet mar 22:25, 31 July 2010 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Fetmar (talk • contribs)

Rappers

I never heard of any of them. Are they real? Yung Warriorz is a common rapper name that is used for rappers in Virginia, Austrailia and Ohsweken (they I know of them through Google searches and they are real). Are they famous enough for Wikipedia? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Wuffyz (talk • contribs) 02:54, 4 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I never heard anybody really mention them and they are not very famous. So I am getting rid of it untill someone can come up with a good argument to keep them up. Wuffyz (talk) 14:38, 6 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Water crisis

this section doesn't give any reference to time. It's mostly a direct quote from an unknown source. I say we ditch it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Fetmar (talk • contribs) 22:17, 31 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed, the water crisis was addressed last year. This article, however, hasn't been regularly maintained in since well before that. The federal government worked with Six Nations to provide a new water processing plant, as mentioned here: http://www.numberswatchdog.com/news%2009/Making%20water%20safer.htm . If anything, this information belongs in a history section that does not yet exist. fet mar 21:19, 3 August 2010 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Fetmar (talk • contribs)

It's ironic that the water crisis was being discussed here in 2010 -- fourteen years ago! -- and it was just on the CBC National news this week, September 2024! If there's anywhere in this supposedly First World nation of Canada without potable drinking water -- within spitting distance of Canada's largest city -- it should have its own section highlighted in RED! --24.80.199.58 (talk) 05:34, 12 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Addition suggestions

The first paragraph mentions government offices. Let's list some, maybe even put a few pictures up.
~~Box to list plain facts about the town: population, size, geography, location, etc.~~

Done, looks great. fet mar (talk) 21:36, 3 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

~~How about a few notable places or features: the arena, the park, the plaza, etc.~~ —Preceding unsigned comment added by Fetmar (talk • contribs) 22:35, 31 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Done, looks good. needs more content. fet mar (talk) 21:36, 3 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Events

What is the Tom Longboat run? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Fetmar (talk • contribs) 04:04, 3 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Notable People

I like how many people are here. The notable residents sections that I have seen for other cities are always most useful and informative to me when they contain simple sentences after each name, listing their achievements. E.g.:

Jay Silverheels, actor, most recognized for his portrayal of Tonto in The Lone Ranger

I recommend we adopt this style. fet mar (talk) 19:20, 4 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
