For lack of a better place to "drop" this, the Yale Convention has needed an article for a while; I just happened to find a copy of its proceedings, organization and minutes on nosracines.ca:

Yale Coordinates

[edit]

I don't know how to change it, but Yale is not in the correct position on the map. It is actually about 50km from the provided coordinates. 70.30.245.27 (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 03:43, 4 February 2011 (UTC).[reply]

image of Chinatown

[edit]

This is a c.1885 image of Chinatown in BC Archives; would qualify for PD-50 if transferred to the Commons; this must be just before Chinatown was destroyed, as it was wiped out for the CPR mainline construction; not sure if t his is Front Street, which may be to the left of the buildings at left, as it was the waterfront as its name implies.Skookum1 (talk) 02:37, 8 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Yale resident

[edit]

Apollos Harrison Gouge was a contractor with a very colorful history in South Australia, and apparently from Yale, but I can find no record of his previous or later life. If anyone can help, maybe worth a new article, there's some info at H. D. Gouge. Herbert Dillon Gouge was by contrast a diligent, worthy citizen; a land valuer and public servant, the colony's first public actuary. Doug butler (talk) 22:28, 19 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
