Why is there a huge map of Quebec in this article?
The result of the discussion was not to merge.-- Skeezix1000 16:24, 23 April 2006 (UTC)
The result of the proposal was move.
Gatineau, Quebec → Gatineau – Reason for proposed move: Gatineau already redirects to Gatineau, Quebec, and the name is unique so there is no risk of confusion with another city or town. The proposed move is consistent with the Canadian naming convention ("Places which either have unique names or are unquestionably the most significant place sharing their name, such as Quebec City or Toronto, can have undisambiguated titles"), and is in line with recent moves of Canadian cities such as Lethbridge, Saskatoon, Edmonton, etc. Skeezix1000 11:33, 13 September 2006 (UTC)

"Ursus super montem ivit" means "The bear went over the mountain". Seriously, this is NOT Gatineau's motto. The real motto seems to be "Fortunae meae, multorum faber" - see this page on the city of Gatineau site: [2] The fake motto was added in December 2005 by an unregistered editor and seems to have propagated across the internet since then. Arrrrgh.
The list of that user's contributions is at http://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Special:Contributions&target=132.203.33.24 - sorry I don't know how to make the proper wiki-ish link to that.

Ok, we've been reverted back to "Ursus super montem ivit" by an anonymous editor. I've changed it back to "Fortunae mea, multorum faber" ONCE more, but if it continues after this we're going to have to have some sort of arbitration or something... and this is a silly enough dispute that that shouldn't happen.
In addition to my original cite from the city of Gatineau's website, also see [3] In contrast, even though there are lots of sites claiming "Ursus super montem ivit" is the motto, they're all Wikipedia copies.

It would seem appropriate that it be added to the page that the city is host to the 2010 Jeux Du Québec. I've never edited a Wikipedia article before so I'm not sure how to proceed... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.201.167.182 ( talk) 04:22, 30 July 2010 (UTC)

"Many Gatineau highways and major arteries feed directly into the bridges crossing over to Ottawa, but once there the roads lead into the dense downtown grid or into residential areas, with no direct connection to The Queensway. This difficulty is further magnified by the lack of a major highway on the Quebec side of the Ottawa River connecting Gatineau to Montreal, the metropolis of the province; most travellers from Gatineau to Montreal first cross over to Ottawa, and use Ontario highways to access Montreal."
This is written from an entirely too pro-urban highway perspective.
