Association of Professional Engineers, Geologists, and Geophysicists of Alberta → The Association of Professional Engineers and Geoscientists of Alberta (APEGA) – APEGGA's (the Association of Professional Engineers and Geologists and Geophysicists of Alberta) name was changed by legislation to APEGA (the Association of Professional Engineers and Geoscientists of Alberta) in spring of 2012. The legislation is cited within the article, with its new name.APEGA AB (talk) 21:39, 31 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Comment do you have a link to that legislation? -- 76.65.128.252 (talk) 23:59, 31 August 2012 (UTC)


 * Support move, but to Association of Professional Engineers and Geoscientists of Alberta without The (per WP:THE) and without the parenthetical disambiguator (which is unnecessary) per the organization's Web site. Add an appropriate hatnote at Apega of Nabis to lead searchers for "APEGA" to this article. Deor (talk) 19:11, 1 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Move to Association of Professional Engineers and Geoscientists of Alberta. No need for definite article or abbreviation. -- Necrothesp (talk) 12:04, 3 September 2012 (UTC)

NPOV
This has quite a bias to it. As such, I have added a NPOV template to it, although maybe the "Advertisement" template may suit it better. Here's what I mean by NPOV:

Since its inception in 1920, The Association of Professional Engineers and Geoscientists of Alberta (APEGA) has been serving the public interest by regulating the practices of professional engineering and geoscience in Alberta. Professional Engineers and Professional Geoscientists contribute significantly to Alberta's economic success and the enhanced quality of life enjoyed by all Albertans.

I believe this article may need a lot of reworking. DM5 (talk) 22:39, 26 April 2021 (UTC)

Quite an eye-opener. There is mention of them trying this before and being shut down. Keith Henson (talk) 03:08, 17 October 2022 (UTC)
