Talk:Forteau

In this article, the phrase "Blanc-Sablon is a necessary road passage between Labrador and Quebec" is inappropriate; and useless in this form. Blanc-Sablon is in Quebec; and not between Labrador and Quebec. Blanc-Sablon is a necessary road passage between Labrador and the island of Newfoundland. And a ferry connects Blanc-Sablon and the island of Newfoundland. In short, coming from Forteau, it is necessary to cross the Labrador-Quebec (or Forteau/Blanc-Sablon) border, cross by the Blanc-Sablon road, take the Blanc-Sablon (Quebec)-Newfoundland ferry. My recommendation is to go back to the original version which is geographically correct: "Blanc-Sablon is a necessary road passage between Labrador and the island of Newfoundland."Veillg1 (talk) 13:20, 20 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

It's misleading because the way it comes across is that there is a bridge to Newfoundland. The clear way to express your meaning is that the Blanc-Sablon Road is the route to the nearby ferry to Newfoundland. Ikan Kekek (talk) 17:06, 20 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
The posted version of the said sentence is misleading. The said sentence is now removed. The detail of the message of this sentence is anyway in a paragraph of "Get in" section. Thanks. - Veillg1 (talk) 18:35, 20 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Having the information in "Get in" this way is a good solution. Thanks. Ikan Kekek (talk) 18:02, 20 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

"Nearby" section[edit]

Is that a common subsection used in rural Canadian articles? If not, shouldn't that info be shared among the appropriate WV:SHs? --ThunderingTyphoons! (talk) 14:41, 11 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

It became an accepted section when we were discussing about listings outside a destination at the start of this year – see wv:outside. --SHB2000 (talk | contribs | meta.wikimedia) 14:44, 11 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
