Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Quebec/Archive 2
Hello a few days ago I asked about a wintersporting-event (World Junior Championship) which I think may have been held at the above-mentioned arena. And I asked about that on the article discussion-page here, but haven't got any answers yet. Can anyone confirm or deny that, with a reliable source for it ? Thanks in advance.

I can't find any information on an oval for the arena either, however, the ISU held its short track world championships there this year (here is a photo). It looks like it's usually an ice hockey rink that can be adapted for speed skating, but I'm not sure whether it fits the dimensions required for the 1978 championships. Are you absolutely sure it included long track? The arena also houses the offices for Canada's national speed skating team (see here). This website mentions that manmade ovals exist only in Calgary, Fort St. John, Quebec City, and Halifax, of which only Calgary and Fort St. John are indoors. Here is the info the same site has on Montreal's alleged natural rink, but nothing is mentioned on the park's official website. I have taken the liberty of emailing Speed Skating Canada to get a definitive answer once and for all; I will notify you of the results. In my search I came across this page; apparently the news has been good recently about Montreal getting a permanent rink! - Sweet Nightmares 17:36, 9 July 2014 (UTC) You are invited to participate in Wiki Loves Pride 2014, a campaign to create and improve LGBT-related content at Wikipedia and its sister projects.

I have completed the translation of Matapédia Valley, an article which has "good" status on the French wiki. I would appreciate it if someone could be so kind as to copy-edit it for me! Also, keep or ditch the acute accent? Finally, what would it take to get it to GA status over here, as well? - Sweet Nightmares 16:59, 7 July 2014 (UTC)
Articles needing creationI've come up with a list of articles that exist on the French wiki that need creation over here. They all have some connection to Matapedia Valley, Bas-St-Laurent, Gaspésie, etc. - Sweet Nightmares 20:53, 8 July 2014 (UTC) Proposed deletionUser:Epeefleche has proposed Les Promenades King (a shopping mall in Sherbrooke) for deletion under the following rationale:
