Is it possible for someone to enter the timezone here? I am finding it listed (on the net) as Mountain and as Pacific. Thanks...--Doc0tis 21:13, 17 January 2006 (UTC) It seems as though the second paragraph was written by a seven year old I do recall this having more information before...Has someone gone edit-happy?
 * Done! It's definitely in the Pacific. It's nowhere near the Alberta border, which is the dividing line (mostly). Kickstart70 21:25, 19 January 2006 (UTC)

Okay, I'm deleting that second paragraph. It serves no purpose... and Quesnel ain't that great. :P--outsidethewall 22:50, 8 November 2006 (UTC)

Quesnel is known for having a "very competetive rivalry" with William's Lake? I lived there for 18 years and I don't remember being known for that at all. Rosencrantz1 20:22, 4 May 2007 (UTC)

Can anyone see why the mayor's name doesn't appear, even though it's in the code? -- Kickstart70 - T - C 22:16, 8 December 2006 (UTC)

Home to 8 different factories, including a medium density fiber plant, plywood plant and two pulp mills, it produces enough income to support more than 27,000 citizens. I think a citation is needed for this statement. DragnFlye 16:41, 19 August 2007 (UTC)DragnFlye
 * Well, considering that 27,000+ people live in the area, and Quesnel is not known for a massive famine, I would assume that industry in the area is enough to support those people. However, I agree it's poorly worded. - Kickstart70 - T - C 04:16, 8 October 2007 (UTC)

Claims 8 wood-based factories, but is that true?
I know of the following:
 * Cariboo Pulp & Paper
 * Quesnel Plywood
 * Northstar Lumber
 * Quesnel River Pulp
 * Westpine Plywood
 * West Fraser MDF
 * West Fraser Sawmill
 * A Tolko Sawmill
 * A Canfor Sawmill
 * A furniture manufacturing plant on the old Hixon highway at HWY97

...any others? -- Kickstart70 - T - C 04:23, 8 October 2007 (UTC)

C&C Wood products, and the Pinnacle Pellet plant as well. Also West Fraser has a planer mill which could potentially be counted as separate from the sawmill. There are several smaller mills whose names escape me (I seem to remember an "Interior Lathing" but I couldn't be certain. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 206.116.234.43 (talk) 11:03, 5 November 2007 (UTC)

As someone in Quesnel I can admit that it is not really that exciting I'd say to move here to relax but hardly any jobs Rewfer12 (talk) 06:20, 15 March 2017 (UTC)

Pronunciation
I noted teh IPA is and while that's certainly used, another subtly different way to say it is. For those who don't read IPA, that's roughly Kwah-NEL or Kwuh-NEL in the first case vs. Kweh-NEL in the second. I realize there's locals working on this page; say the city-name to yourself a few times and let us know....I'm from the Lower Mainland and tend to say it "Kweh-NEL" though in truth maybe the real sound is somewhere beween Kweh and Kwah....Skookum1 (talk) 14:07, 12 June 2009 (UTC)

It's Kwuh-NEL as this is how everyone I know says it here Rewfer12 (talk) 06:23, 15 March 2017 (UTC)

Hanging of Tsilhqot'in Nation Chiefs, 1864
There is currently no information on the hanging of five Tsilqot'in Nation Chiefs in October of 1864. This article could benefit from the addition of this information. Mre88135 (talk) 21:08, 8 September 2020 (UTC)
