I'm not directly involved in this argument, but maybe I can provide some insight.
These are the links that have been added and deleted:
The Merritt Mountain Music Festival is certainly notable enough, I'm surprised it doesn't have its own page here yet. Considering that my travels in the US have shown that awareness of the festival is considerably outside BC, I think this link is worth inclusion.
No opinion on the PFR.
The Upper Nicola Indian Band has its own page. Rather than include a link to their webpage here, it should be linked from that page'
Huh? Linking it to itself is redundant; they're a Nerritt-area band, no? If they're mentioned in the text, link 'em. Skookum1 ( talk) 21:40, 22 April 2008 (UTC)
The Merritt Centennials also have their own page on Wikipedia. They should be mentioned, and linked, from the Merritt page, and the Merritt Centennials page links off to their website.
The Merritt Herald probably deserves its own page, considering how long it has been around. However, barring that, it deserves mention on this page, and then a link to their website can be included as a citation/reference.

While looking for something else I found this 1920s pic of pony races. It can be used, trimm4ed of its BC ARch frame, under {{pd-Canada}} licensing. By t he look if it, it's in Merritt orthereabouts; maybe I'm wrong, could be over by Ashcroft or?? Figure a Merritt ocal might be able to recognize the hills behind. Thinking of using this also on Indian rodeo, but I can't see if all riders are native or not (doesn't matter about the audience) An article on the Merritt Rodeo or whatever it's called would be nice....

Just a heads-up that this article has been created, for anyone writing/conrtributing to the Merritt article and others from this area. Skookum1 ( talk) 18:36, 23 May 2008 (UTC)
In making the region article I admit to being old-fashioned and preferring the "Country" appellations (Thompson Country, Shsuwap Country, Lillooet Country} etc and in many cases there is a distinction between the Country and Valley references; as I believe is also the case here, where Nicola Country includes the Coldwater and Aspen Grove etc, which are not in the Nicola Valley in its strict sense, but are still in the Nicola Country. I altered the pipe in the infobox to "Nicola" only, and I guess I would like a reason why Nicola Valley is more preferable to Nicola Country in the opening line (or I'd just change it back). Nicola Country as a term has a history, and a sepcific origin; Nicola Valley is only a reference to the NIcola River (which was, in fact, named for the same someone that the Nicola Country was named for). Preference for modern usage isn't necessarily correct here, partly because of the meaning-difference and partly because, indeed, "Nicola Valley" is am uch more modern, recent usage; but still no more common than Nicola Valley. Since we usually just say "the Nicola" I adjusted the infobox that way; if the syntax of the openign section had allowed that, I would haev done it there too. Comments/reactions?

I was going to add mention of Merritt's naming to William Hamilton Merritt, but then I noted his son was an MP in the time-period when Merritt was named - Thomas Rodman Merritt. Maybe BCGNIS says something; where's the source for the namesake being William Hamilton Merritt? Skookum1 ( talk) 19:08, 12 November 2008 (UTC)
