Title correction needed
Hi all,

According to De Beers, the name of this mine is the Victor Mine, not the Victor Diamond Mine. I cannot seem to find a way to edit the actual title of the page to simply say "Victor Mine" in big letters, and obviously, the URL will not change until the page title changes.

I hope someone can help. Thanks! — Preceding unsigned comment added by MadLinguist (talk • contribs) 19:31, 23 August 2020 (UTC)

Neutrality of a source
There is a whole paragraph based on the article "Barnes, S., Wallin, R. 2009. After the Environmental Assessment – A Tale of Development on Attawapiskat Traditional Territory." Journal of Aboriginal Economic Development. Volume 6, Number 2.". The lead author, Suzanne M. Barnes, "led Attawapiskat First Nation through the permitting of the Victor Diamond Mine", according to this profile. So the article is not an independent academic source, rather it expands the point of view of one stakeholder. It is therefore not neutral. The paragraph based on that article should at the very least be reformulated in a neutral way: but this may not be possible, given its manifestly promotional tone. Therefore, I am deleting this paragraph. Aerkem (talk) 20:30, 17 June 2018 (UTC)

Article should explain why the mine closed
Did it close because all of the easily-mined diamonds had been extracted? Because it had never been profitable? Because new government regulations caused it to become unprofitable? etc... 2601:281:D880:7880:54E3:15A2:D8B4:8F5E (talk) 08:45, 15 August 2023 (UTC)
