There should be an explanatory line at hte top of the category that these are federally-designated Historic Places of Canada; the lower-caseing suggests that any historic places qualify, and in cases like the SLRD where there is a rich historic legacy but only one entry, for hte concentrator at Britannia, is kinda crazy. In my opinion, also, classifying federally-designated Historic Places by regional district is completely original research and not at all suitable to the true nature of the historic geography and heritage locations in British Columbia. What the feds decide is historic is not what is historic locally; Lillooet alone has a good twenty historic places of its own. Why should Ottawa's designation, backed up by an arbitrary subdivision system in the Municipal Act, result in a host of pages with only one or two entries each. The natural "listings" would be by orindary region, as in "Okanagan", "Boundary", "East Kootenay", "West Kootenay", "Fraser Canyon", "Cariboo" and "Lower Mainland" for example. I may return and just merge all of these, I see no reason at all for breaking down a federal list by provincial-mandated metamunicipalities who do not themselves classify federal historical places and, if at all, ahve their own heritage and historic places listing. That the person who created these articles did not even know how to use RD names properly (i.e. using them without "the" in the titles of the lists) says a lot about how a little knowledge is a dangerous thing.Skookum1 (talk) 20:38, 3 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
