I'm a little confused. The English version says Lévesque was born in New Brunswick("René Lévesque was born in a hospital of Campbellton, New Brunswick."), whereas the French version says he was born in Quebec ("Né à New Carlisle au Québec"). I suppose I will try to resolve this, but maybe someone with a little more expertise on this man should verify these. -- edisk
Not one 100% sure, but I think I remember the deal: New Carlisle is little on near the border of New Brunswick. He was born at the hospital of Campbellton, New Brunswick, but he was raised in New Carlisle in Quebec. -- Mathieugp 02:23, 10 Jun 2004 (UTC)
It was with considerable trepidation that I approached a copyedit of someone who was so loved and controversial, but I think that some of the text in the previous version was awkward and difficult to read. I have also made a few changes where I felt there was clear POV. THe articles remains a bit "breathless". It comes across as having been written by an admirer of the man, and not as being a dispassionate encyclopaedia article. Kevintoronto 11:13, 6 Nov 2004 (UTC)
- I agree. I also thougth the article was far from being encyclopedic. There are very few facts, and a lot of talking about how much he was loved by the people. It is true that his popularity was uncommon for a politician, but there is so much more to cover. I'll have to get reading on him and come back to this article with more information. -- Mathieugp 16:53, 6 Nov 2004 (UTC)
