Protests[edit]

Shouldn't the protests against the visit in Montreal and Quebec City be mentioned? Vale of Glamorgan (talk) 18:35, 3 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Most certainly, and they are mentioned in the article, chronologically, whenever they occurred. A summary of the protests is in the Reception section. -- Zanimum (talk) 16:26, 4 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

That must be why Quebecers overwhelmingly voted in favor of the federalist New Democratic Party in the recent General Election, instrumental in elevating the party, for the first time in Canadian history, to the position of L'Opposition Loyale de Sa Majesté, and its leader to reside in Stornoway.

"Dooch" vs "Douche"[edit]

The July 4 blooper involving a singer in PEI getting tongue tied before her performance is getting some media play internationally. If this article survives AFD and is expanded, it should be noted that while British media and the US Huffington Post are reporting that the singer accidentally used the word "Douche" when referring to the Duke and Duchess before her performance, what she actually said, and which has been reported by the Canadian Press wire service and CBC, is "Dooch", and this is the version that should be used in the article (with acknowledgment of the misunderstanding), if this incident is considered notable enough. 68.146.71.145 (talk) 15:17, 5 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

You might want to do a little more research[edit]

They're not British royalty. They're Canadian royalty.

This article has significance because this illustrious visit to the Realm is seen as a snub to the United States--it is a reminder to the United States that it is "only" in North America. It is poetic justice finally hearing Americans wanting to be referred to as "North Americans". God Save the Queen...of Canada. I guess Americans would really start to feel snubbed if the the Duke and Duchess decide to spend time regularly in their Realm. They're only visiting Los Angeles because many of their loyal subjects do well there.

Please sign your comments. And you might want to do a little research yourself; they're going to Los Angeles on a trade mission to promote British industry. Exactly how any snub could be seen by the US is puzzling, since Canada is a Commonwealth country, and as correctly noted, the Canadian monarchy is separate from the British monarchy, technically. So for them to have gone anywhere else would have been considered a huge snub for Canada. Not the US. 68.146.71.145 (talk) 03:52, 8 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed, I don't even see where they were referred to as British royalty in the article. -- Zanimum (talk) 22:56, 8 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Number of dresses[edit]

The estimate regarding the number of dresses Catherine was expected to wear needs to be revised down, since one notable, and much-reported aspect, of the tour is the fact she's worn the same outfit several times. Unless you want to play around with "mix and match" combinations being different outfits, I don't think she's worn more than maybe 15 outfits, give or take a few. 68.146.71.145 (talk) 03:52, 8 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I'm hoping Macleans or someone will have a tour fashion in review, as they started in this week's issue. Thing is, the original prediction should be left it: expectations are as important as eventual reality. It shows the media expected her to be a clothes hoar--apologies on the crude term, but it's relatively common--and instead she rewore things, she kept the same outfit for multiple events, etcetera, etcetera, preferring to spend her time with the people, as opposed to in the closets. -- Zanimum (talk) 22:58, 8 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Stampede protests?[edit]

Were there any protests at the parade, by PETA, as promised? Did street preacher Art Pawlowski march after the parade? -- Zanimum (talk) 02:14, 10 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

GA Review[edit]

Reviewer: Edge3 (talk · contribs) 20:09, 9 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hello! My review will come shortly. Edge3 (talk) 20:09, 9 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

This article was peer reviewed on July 15, 2011. (See review.) Many of the suggestions provided by Ruhrfisch still apply today. The lead section should be expanded, and several statements remain unsourced. Before this article can be promoted to GA status, editors should attempt to resolve all of the issues that Ruhrfisch identified.

I have only a few extra suggestions of my own. The article currently has several images that are giving it a "cluttered" appearance. According to WP:IMAGELOCATION, you should "avoid sandwiching text between two images that face each other". Please limit the images in the article to only those that are most relevant, and keep the images within the appropriate sections. Please read WP:IMAGE RELEVANCE for further information.

Because there is still a lot of work to be done, I am failing this GA nomination. Edge3 (talk) 20:45, 9 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
