This article would cover all Fife-related articles such as places, famous people, museums, football and rugby clubs and churches to name a few. Examples would be: Kirkcaldy, Andrew Carnegie, Adam Smith, Dunfermline Abbey, Dunfermline Athletic, The Old Course and Kirkcaldy Museum and Art Gallery. This could also help support articles that really do need a lot of work while keeping general maintenance. Examples would be: Methil, Dunfermline, Cupar and a lot of the smaller towns such as Kennoway and Lower Largo.

Fleming's Nationality was Canadian. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.215.87.172 ( talk) 14:43, 28 April 2008 (UTC)
DATE OF BIRTH--Dictionary of Canadian Biography states January 7; a brochure in Halifax says July 7??
The Toronto Globe (predecessor of The Globe and Mail) also notes the date of January 7, on Page 6 of the July 23rd Edition (Headline on Page 1, noting the "Empire Builder passes to Rest"). I'm going to revert the date back unless you can give other sources of his birth date. Bacl-presby 17:43, 28 February 2006 (UTC)
If it wasn't so cold right now, I'd go up to Beechwood Cemetery in Ottawa to look up the dates on his gravestone!! (Wouldn't be surprised if someone has put the Beechwood Cemetery stones on line, either!!) Bacl-presby 17:08, 3 March 2006 (UTC)
Sanford fleming est l'inventeur de l'heure et des fusaux horaire —Preceding unsigned comment added by 91.177.39.58 ( talk) 16:19, 1 March 2010 (UTC)
In the article, Fleming's given name alternates between "Sandford" and "Sanford" (without the "d"). Which is it? It seems it is "Sandford" but unsure. - quanta ( talk) 19:53, 12 April 2014 (UTC)

Requesting that in the Legacy section of this page about Sir Sanford Fleming, one or two sentences be added to describe Sir Sanford Fleming Park in Halifax. There is a Wikipedia page for this park, which can be used both to provide some content for the Sir Sanford Fleming page, and can link the two pages together. The Sir Sanford Fleming PARK Wikipedia page already links to the Sir Sandford Fleming page, but not vice versa. Here is the link to the PARK page: /info/en/?search=Sir_Sandford_Fleming_Park

Change Standford to Sandford in Legacy section. Duncansmith ( talk) 13:30, 7 January 2017 (UTC)
The 'Family' section presently reads: "After the death of his wife Jeanie in 1888, Fleming's niece Miss Elsie Smith, daughter of Alexander and Lily Smith, of Kingussie, Scotland, presided over his household at "Winterholme" 213 Chapel Street, Ottawa, Ontario.[5]" However, after research 213 Chapel Street in Ottawa Ontario, I noticed the address does not exist. Given the historical weight of Winterholme, I gathered it might be a protected heritage property. As a result I researched and found out it is listed under the City of Ottawa's protected heritage sites, however the address is 309-311 Daly Ave [1]. Consequently, I am requesting that the aforementioned sentence in the 'Family' section be modified to: The 'Family' section presently reads: "After the death of his wife Jeanie in 1888, Fleming's niece Miss Elsie Smith, daughter of Alexander and Lily Smith, of Kingussie, Scotland, presided over his household at "Winterholme" 309-311 Chapel Street [5] [2], Ottawa, Ontario[6]."

Eh? What does 'located' mean here, and how can a 24 hour clock not coincide with the mean time of some meridian? — Tamfang ( talk) 17:57, 3 January 2018 (UTC)
Hi, Freshacconci. Regarding your recent reversion, where is it in the body of the article that you are saying the date of the subject's death is located? And why is it that you're wanting to exclude the subject's fellowship of the Royal Society of Canada from his post-nominal letters? 142.160.89.97 ( talk) 03:32, 18 May 2019 (UTC)
