Removed unsourced text/story from article:
This is an actual event that took place during the winter of 1906-1907. It can be found in Jim Greenblat's Those Were The Days. I'm not sure of the page. Also this was removed from the English article but not the French article. Kiara potter ( talk) 19:11, 14 August 2008 (UTC)
I think it would be prudent to mention something about the early history of the town. The Creek is what it's named after so something should be mentioned about that. -- Zeolite 17:53, 11 July 2006 (UTC)
First of all, I'm new here. I'm from Swift Current, so I hope I can be useful on this particular article. I could be wrong, but I don't think Tomas Shatner and the three below him are either famous or notable, and I think they should be removed. Looking back in the history, I have noticed this section has been a target of vandalism. -- Zorando 18:15, 20 August 2006 (UTC)
The page was reading like an essay. Wikipedia standards insist that there be a brief one or two sentence long introduction to the content. This was missing completely from the page. There is also a lack of links within the history portion of this page. For more information on wiki layouts please read Wikipedia:Guide_to_layout User:Nels Nielson 02:55, 21 September 2006 (UTC) I withdraw what I said about the links. Glancing the history section over a second time it does feel well supported by them. 03:01, 21 September 2006 (UTC)
There is a list of cities this one is included which is discussing city page naming conventions. Please add your comments here in this regards. SriMesh | talk 18:26, 15 October 2008 (UTC)
The result of the proposal was move. Jafeluv ( talk) 06:52, 4 May 2009 (UTC)
Swift Current, Saskatchewan → Swift Current — This article is title will be move to the name Swift Current, I check the disambiguation page on titled Swift Current (disambiguation) and I see the link to the city's article, but this title is to match the Canadian city related titles without the province name. For example Saskatoon, Yorkton, North Battleford, Moose Jaw and Estevan have titles already and this is one of the fewest and biggest cities in Saskatchewan. — Steam5 ( talk) 03:10, 28 April 2009 (UTC)

I updated the population in the text box on the right hand side, and revised the opening paragraph. (Source: Census Profile)
For some reason, when I input density, it doesn't show in the text box.
There's also a number given for "agglomeration," not sure what it refers to, and didn't update that number.
The demographics paragraph (simply a comparative box) has also been left for future updating.

Swift Current resident here. Fairly recently, the Iplex has been rebranded as the "InnovationPlex," supposedly to coincide with the rebranding of our local Innovation Credit Union to the Innovation Federal Credit Union. However, most residents still refer to the building as the Iplex. Should the name be changed throughout the article? Or left alone? 216.197.144.32 ( talk) 03:18, 24 October 2023 (UTC)
