File:Wascana Centre and Regina downtown.jpg[edit]

Attractive photo, certainly, but it seems a trifle superfluous to have it twice in the article. Any serious and wide objection if I remove the second one? User:Masalai

"Catholicism"[edit]

Until relatively recently this would have been entirely unambiguous; it would probably only have been "high church" members of the Anglican Church -- now like most Christian insitutions in Canada other than fundamentalist groups somewhat waning -- who would have insisted that "Catholic" was inadequate without an adjective. However, nowadays in Regina, though unfortunately less extensively than elsewhere in Canada, simply being smaller in number -- immigration is much more diverse than elsewhere. It includes people of churches aligned to the Vatican but not "Roman" Catholic. There are some Syrian Orthodox from Syria itself, non-Muslim sections of Palestine, southwest India and Ethiopian Orthodox themselves or others from east Africa; so there must or will eventually also be Syro-Malabar Catholic and other eastern Catholic denominations, with the Pope their supreme bishop but not Roman Catholic as such. So it is not pedantry to remove "Roman" from the label for Canadian Catholics. Masalai (talk) 10:25, 7 June 2012 (UTC)

Photos for right of the opening paragraphs[edit]

Any better ones than these of mine (and one of someone else) or shall I go ahead and insert them there?

City of Regina Flag[edit]

I think you have the incorrect flag posted here. I you look at the City of Regina's web page: http://www.regina.ca/students/regina-facts/city-symbols/index.htm the blue colour on the flag is lighter than what you have posted here, I think this needs to be corrected. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 153.2.246.31 (talk) 18:30, 20 December 2012 (UTC)

“Regina (pron.: /rɨˈdʒaɪnə/ or pron.: /rɨˈdʒiːnə/ by outsiders”[edit]

Excessively considerate of non-Anglophones in other countries who have never visited Canada. But it would not be thought even appropriate much less necessary to state for such persons the correct pronunciation of such words as find, kind or mind. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 121.222.249.222 (talk) 13:59, 21 May 2013 (UTC)

Top Employers section[edit]

Does anyone have the numbers for a "Top Employers" section?

# Employer # of Employees

I've seen this on other city wikipedia pages and it's kinda neat. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Wiccapedia2 (talk • contribs) 03:26, 19 September 2013 (UTC)

Indeed. But the illustrations in the opining section could be much better than here, can't that be agreed? And down bellow is where such illustrations now fear. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 1Masalai (talk • contribs)

Minimap error[edit]

Shows Regina being in Manitoba, not Saskatchewan — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.17.69.138 (talk • contribs)

That problem has been fixed by others. Hwy43 (talk) 01:56, 27 July 2015 (UTC)
