The last bit of text I removed said the new riding in 1997 was originally named Dewdney—Alouette, but that comes as news to me - Dewdney-Alouette has only been the name of a regional district, and has never been a riding name; not one used by the electorate, the press or during a campaign. �The totally unsuitabble redirects havve been re-routed to Dewdney-Alouette Regional District. if there was a brief period where Dewdney-Alouette was applied to this riding, nobody I know of ever heard of it; is this in teh govenrment source file? it's an interesting sidenote, but not important enough for the redirects to come here.....Skookum1 (talk) 03:00, 18 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
As in my inline note on the undos for my rash changes, I voted in at least one of these elections but, er, never noticed the riding-name change; I'm still a bit stunned by it, but if it's in the Parliament of Canada site, which I guess is where that info came from, as per the results table, well....OK, alright; changed it back, but added a dab line to the RD, which is the more common association of the couplet and is the name-origin, in fact, of the temporary federal riding-name, as there have been no other usages of the term Dewdney-Alouette, which was coined only at the time the regional districts were come up with in the late 1960s, though it has since become a subregion-identifier in teh Fraser Valley and you'll hear weather guys use it, if not other newscasters, for the area. The dab line is straightforward enough, but even the long-dash "Dewdney—Alouette" form of the redirect I've aimed at the regional district article, despite the long dash; seemed too confusing to use one dash for the RD, the other for a riding that now has another name anyway.Skookum1 (talk) 04:16, 18 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
The article's map of the area (File:Pitt Meadows—Maple Ridge—Mission.png) lacks points of reference or other details to make it useful. I tried to add coordinates to the article today, and the current drawing was useless - it didn't help. The coordinates I used were outside of Pitt Meadows, which hopefully is somewhere within the boundary of the riding. If somebody can design a more informative map, the article will benefit from it.
