Talk:Hatley Park National Historic Site

A few changes
FYI, I've split the information about the Hatley Park neighbourhood into Hatley Park (Greater Victoria). I've also merged Hatley Gardens into this article, deleted a duplicate copy of this article that was residing at Hatley Park, and done some reorganization and miscellaneous cleanup work. Hope everything is satisfactory. &mdash;smably 17:44, 23 August 2006 (UTC)

Scots Baronial? I think not!
It's quite possible that a building in the Scots Baronial Style may have been asked for, but looking at the photo tells me that it wasn't provided. This building does not look anything like traditional Scots Baronial: where are the corner turrets? where is the general Scottish feel? This looks more like an imitation of an English Cotswold manor, mixed in with some Tudorbethan half timbering. It's very pretty, but it's not Scots Baronial.

 * A lot of architectural descriptions especially out here in the farthest colonies are often wrong; please change it.Skookum1 (talk) 13:49, 7 June 2008 (UTC)

Historic site, neighbourhood and castle articles
Should the castle get its own article, the way Royal Roads University and the neighbourhood? If not, then this article should have the "buildings and strcutures" cat, no?Skookum1 (talk) 13:49, 7 June 2008 (UTC)

Royal Roads redirect
While tweaking something on Monarchy in British Columbia I used Royal Roads, which of course redirects here as it's usually synonymous (nowadays) with Royal Roads University (which if it's merged into this article, maybe shouldn't be), but the "main" reference is to the Royal Roads, the body of water offshore where ships would/could assemble; the marine meaning of "roads" is largely obscured or forgotten today, not just in BC - e.g. Hampton Roads. But I'm wondering given all the otehr water-body articles we have whether or not Royal Roads needs its own article - it's quite historic and therefore notable, actually - and obviously isn't part of Hatley Castle. How to disambig it I'm not sure, if it were to need disambig'ing that is.Skookum1 (talk) 16:57, 9 July 2008 (UTC)
 * I note that Royal Roads redirects here rather than to the university; this would be because when people say Royal Roads they more mean the building than the institution; but as above the real meaning is offshore....Skookum1 (talk) 16:58, 9 July 2008 (UTC)
