Is there a way to put a border around this flag so that the right-hand side, which is all white, doesn't blend into the background? -- Zoe
- How does that look? --maveric149
- Excellent. How did you do that? -- Zoe
What is this external link (apparently the only one): Two-weeks in non-anglophonic Canada (http://www.landlubber.com/nov00/ad.html)??? --Menchi 21:52, Aug 18, 2003 (UTC)
- Somebody put it in Quebec too. Apparently it's a blog of some fellow's experiences in Nunavut and Quebec. I wonder should it be there? - Montréalais 16:28, 26 Aug 2003 (UTC)
- The blog link in Quebec is gone already when I just checked it out now. I've added 2 general external links (both official) to Quebec and 4 to Nunavut (3 official).
- The blog is the modern-day experience of one modern traveller, which can differ from another with good reasons (and why not?). It's not historical. It's interesting, but I don't think non-Christians really need a religious tone planted subtly and not-so-subtly throughout a journal. So, it's not appropriate on a non-religious encyclopedia.

Decided to be bold and got rid of the link. Far too subjective to be any use.
Who says Wikipedia is non-religious. It's supposed to be about everything. DJ Clayworth 19:57, 26 Aug 2003 (UTC)

CDs
I removed this part I wrote, which I cannot make sense of, but is indeed valid:
- For census purposes, Nunavut and NWT are divided into five CDs (census divisions), with Baffin Region, Keewatin Region and Kitikmeot Region counted as part of Nunavut; while Fort Smith Region and Inuvik Region remain part of the Northwest Territories.
That is outdated info though. It's the addendum to the 1996 Standard Geographical Classification (SGC) Statistics Canada. But Nunavut didn't even exist in 1996. So I have no idea how to explain that: "Baffin Region...are part of Nunavut." [Notice the present-tense of this 1996 article]

Number of inhabitants
The infobox lists the number of inhabitants as 28,200, while the text mentions 27,000. They can't be both right. Abigail 11:27, May 18, 2004 (UTC)
Triskaidekaphobia in Canada
Until this new province was added, Canada had 12 provinces. When this new province was added, there became 13. For curiosity, did anyone react?? 66.32.127.112 01:16, 22 May 2004 (UTC)
- No, because it is not a province. --Menchi 01:24, 22 May 2004 (UTC)
- And neither are Yukon and the Northwest Territories. Canada now has ten provinces and three territories. - Montréalais 05:02, 22 May 2004 (UTC)
? marks
How come there is 4 question marks after the word nunavut in this article? it looks like this on my web browser: nunavut (????) Baw2 07:44, 1 Dec 2004 (UTC)
- That's the Inuktitut syllabics spelling of "Nunavut". If you have an appropriate font installed, you'll see the letters correctly. Code2000 or the fonts available at http://www.languagegeek.com will enable you to see them. Diderot 08:40, 1 Dec 2004 (UTC)
