Leave it alone - the detail that a Downtown Winnipeg article (concerning buildings, neighbourhoods, activities, etc.) has the potential to spawn would be excessive in a general article about the City. -- 207.161.43.98 15:36, 15 April 2006 (UTC)
Keep, the article is one of many with descriptions of the various areas of Winnipeg. The main Winnipeg article, due to length considerations, should be more general.-- 209.115.235.79 19:13, 4 June 2006 (UTC)
I feel the Canadian Museum for Human Rights shouldn't be included in the list of Landmarks because it hasn't been built yet. -- Jimj wpg 18:38, 24 September 2006 (UTC)
Can someone please comment on why the streets are so wide? Main street is 123ft wide.
Does not have a population of 7 million people, rather around 700.000. Hence the 'small' downtown... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 193.30.37.143 ( talk) 13:38, 2 March 2008 (UTC)
I removed two pictures from near the bottom of the page because the article seemed too short to justify having that many pictures and they weren't as relevant as the other pictures in the article. On my screen, they extended far past the end of the article. The remaining pictures are better, I think. Guff Brooking ( talk) 23:56, 20 January 2009 (UTC)
Oh yeah, and I deleted the trivia section. There wasn't much in it, and it was badly written. Guff Brooking ( talk) 00:02, 21 January 2009 (UTC)
I took it out of the article because it was exaggregated; it's not half or the majority of downtown. If I could find some reliable sources I'd quote the discussion about Winnipeg having too much street-level parking downtown. Like very many Wikipedia articles, we have a string of disconnected facts and no *explanation* for why things are the way they are. Winnipeg is not the only city to discover that no-one needs to go downtown any more. -- Wtshymanski ( talk) 21:01, 26 October 2009 (UTC)
I don't see the reason for a "downtown landmarks" section. Most of these are mentioned and wikilinked in the downtown district that they belong in. I propose we pull the section, while making sure that all of the relevant landmarks get mentioned elsewhere in the article. Ccyyrree ( talk) 19:26, 16 October 2012 (UTC)

I am impressed with the "maplink" feature used to outline the boundaries of Manhattan in NYC. I'd like to have maplink draw an outline to show the boundaries of downtown Winnipeg. However, I cannot get it to draw.
Here is the page for the tool: Template:Maplink

About the recent IP edit done on December 20, 2019 to this article. During September 2019 I added an Infobox and filled in some of the parameters. I went to the city's 2016 Census map and figures site ( https://www.winnipeg.ca/census/2016/) and tallied up all downtown neighbourhoods. So I came up with the 25,680 in the infobox, from the tally. Fast forward 3 months... When someone asked on the SkyScraperPage.com Forum (Portage Place thread) what the population of downtown Winnipeg was ( http://forum.skyscraperpage.com/showthread.php?p=8781471#post8781471), I replied with a link to the Downtown Winnipeg article. Someone else replied and saw the discreptancy of figures between the article and the Infobox and and changed to 13,470. Then on December 21, 2019. Fellow regional Wikipedian Wtshymanski reverted the IP edit to the population figure back to the 25,680. Perhaps what I should have done was to put in a detailed tally in the Talk page and discuss which neighbourhoods should and should not be included in this area. Someone else had a 2011 figure that was different, 13,470. So what I'll do is to start a discussion on the Downtown Winnipeg Talk page and we'll see where all can agree or not. But this will have to wait for later as its now almost 5 am and I need to S L E E P. Jimj wpg ( talk) 04:27, 21 December 2019 (UTC-6)
