Talk:Discovery Island (British Columbia)

E.G. Beaumont
I'm not certain but I think he may have had something to do with the Sea Bird, the early steamboat on the Fraser; hence the name Sea Bird Point. Further details on him must be somewhere....Skookum1 (talk) 12:57, 18 September 2008 (UTC)


 * The Sea Bird was a American paddle steamer sailing out of San Francisco caught fire on September 7, 1858 shortly after leaving Victoria and to save the lifes of the people onboard it was run aground on what is now named Sea Bird Point where the lighthouse now is.

"at Cadboro Bay"
Ten Mile Point and Cadboro Bay a Cadboro Bay all though near by, Ten Mile Point and Cadboro Bay are to different things, it's like saying British Columbia and Alberta are the same thing because they connect to each other. As a person who has near has lived by Cadboro Bay and Ten Mile Point his whole life I know. I also put back in "See also" it must have been removed by mistake. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.69.66.143 (talk) 19:28, 7 October 2008 (UTC)
 * "Near Cadboro Bay" will ahve to do, as nobody from outside that immediate area has heard of Ten Mile Point; it's not a useful locator statement; makes such a distinction (and BCGNIS makes clear there IS no distinction, not officially anyway); the point is that.  Your BC/Alberta comparison is a non sequitur; it's like saying Kitsilano is visible from Dundarave but not bothering to mention Ambleside or the rest of West Van; Discovery Island is also visible from Uplands and other areas; the point of locator4 statements is to make the place recognizable; Ten Mile Point is an obscurity except to thos, like yourself, who live there and insist on it being different from Cadboro Bay, even though it's an extension of same (in teh way that James Bay or Fairfield are extensions of central/downtown Victoria.....as for the See Also, please read WP:MOS - links already mentioned in the article - particularly in the intro - are not to be included in See Alsos; only links which have not been made yet.Skookum1 (talk) 20:17, 7 October 2008 (UTC)
 * And double-spacing links sections - refs, ext links, see also, further reading - is contrary to WP:MOS. Single spacing only please.Skookum1 (talk) 20:18, 7 October 2008 (UTC)
