Talk:La Crete

Return to La Crete
move to La Crete. I think this should be moved back to La Crete, Alberta as that appears to be the common name. I have only been able to find one reference to La Crête, Government of Alberta. At the same time the Govt. of Alberta has several links to La Crete. Also the reference in the article shows the name La Crete or, strangely, LaCrete, as does the Chamber of Commerce. There appears to be noting to support the use of the "ê" in the name. CambridgeBayWeather Have a gorilla 01:08, 20 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Support move to La Crete.  Even if La Crête is the official spelling, I agree that the most common spelling appears to be La Crete and should be favoured. I would also remove the disambiguation, as per WP:CANSTYLE.  This settlement, and institutions related to it, appears to be the primary use of the name and appears to be a unique place name.

 * Support move - if there's no little hat on my road map, most common usage is La Crete. CBW, here's another ref: StatsCan and enter "La Crete", searching in English no less. More than anything else, this speaks to not having those extra keys on the keyboard, however common usage overrides official usage, as long as it is noted in the article and the redirect exists.

 * I never thought to look at StatsCan for the information. Though their usage of names seems hit and miss, they get Gamèti, Northwest Territories correct, almost get Deline, Northwest Territories right but completely miss Lutselk'e, Northwest Territories here. Ulukhaktok, Northwest Territories here is listed under the older name of Holman but that was changed just an 11/2 months before the census. The official names for the places are found here.
 * Wow, I had no idea you could do so much with the letter "L" :) I suppose the difference is that StatsCan has English-French bilingual keyboards, so they can handle only those language spellings? (And yes, the northern community names are in flux right now, based on community votes, at least in Nunavut, I'm not clear on the exact process esp. Rankin and Chester) Franamax (talk) 03:28, 3 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Agh! A cheery morning to all, it's -3 C with 5 cm snow overnight and a 50 km wind giving a wind chill of -11 C. There has been some talk of few places changing. Nothing here though and I know that Cape Dorset, Nunavut has said that they won't change due to the brand name recognition. CambridgeBayWeather Have a gorilla 13:49, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

I was bold and moved the article to La Crete. After more than a month, there seemed to be no dispute as to the common name, and no one questioned the proposal to move it to the plain title as per WP:CANSTYLE.Skeezix1000 (talk) 12:26, 2 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Hey, the proposal was to move to La Crete, Alberta, not to undisambiguated title. WP:CANSTYLE refers to cities when it allows undisambiguated title, this is just an unincorporated hamlet. Please move back to official name La Crête, Alberta or to incorrect but more used La Crete, Alberta. --Qyd (talk) 15:55, 13 July 2008 (UTC)

La Crete → La Crete, Alberta — Per Qyd's comments above, the original move should have included the ", Alberta" suffix to maintain consistency with how all other Alberta community articles have the ", Alberta" suffix. As a result, La Crete should redirect to La Crete, Alberta, not the other way around. Why should La Crete be the exception to the convention implemented for all other Alberta communities? —Hwy43 (talk) 10:10, 16 January 2010 (UTC)

 * I have moved it back to the plain title, as the 2010 move somehow slipped under the radar and so no one pointed out that it was completely contrary to the applicable naming convention. Hwy43, the editor who requested the 2010 move and was the only one who spoke to it, supports the move back to the correct article name. Cheers. --Skeezix1000 (talk) 13:48, 29 January 2013 (UTC)
