Article Evaluation

Further examination of the article allows me to make the determination that the article was written with an encyclopedic viewpoint in mind. There is little to no evidence of bias or problematic content in the article. Instead, the article is told as if one was reading from an encyclopedia in a library. Interestingly, one portion of the article covers the use of Chinese workers in the building of the railway's main lines and branches, which is a potentially troublesome topic for some. However, those who wrote out this article have clearly refined the article to the point that there is no evidence of racism or bias to one side of the conflict. It would be very easy for an individual to navigate to this particular page and input some choice comments about the labour that the Chinese immigrant workers in British Columbia partook in. However, there is no evidence of untoward content whether that is defined as racism or as bias. Some may argue that the article reads a little bit too much into the government and corporate sector of the company - there are plenty of references to the government proceedings and corporate dealings that led to the creation of the railway. However, the argument can be made that it is extremely important to ensure that all of the relevant dealings that took place in the lead up to the creation of the idea of a Pacific railway system that linked the Western half of Canada with the Eastern portions of the country.

Split proposal

The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section. A summary of the conclusions reached follows.

The result of this discussion was to split the History section into History of the Canadian Pacific Railway. RetroCosmos (talk) 16:08, 26 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I propose that the History section be split into a separate page called History of the Canadian Pacific Railway. The article has exceeded 150kb, and this section is large and well-sourced enough to make its own page. RetroCosmos (talk) 02:56, 7 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Support - The section is huge and would work well being split. Lewcm Talk to me! 16:26, 16 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Support - I do think it's a good idea to have a separate article dedicated solely to the history. Riad Salih (talk) 11:39, 21 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The US headquarters relocation to Kansas City

Please change the location of the US headquarters to Kansas City because they moved there in October 2024 from Minneapolis as part of the merger with the Kansas City Southern Railway with the Canadian Pacific Railway. Thanks for your cooperation. Eth132489 (talk) 21:07, 15 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, it doesn't need to be changed as this article is no longer being updated to represent changes with the new company (CPKC). CPKC's webpage should have that new headquarters location listed though. I'll add that now. Jcody21 (talk) 22:49, 15 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The link to Hugh Ryan's wikipedia page under his portrait links to a different person

Sorry if this is the wrong place to do this, this is the first time I've interacted with Wikipedia outside of being a reader. The link to Hugh Ryan's page underneath his portrait directs you to Hugh Ryan, the LGBT historian, and not Hugh Ryan the railway magnate. Hugh Ryan (railway magnate) does have his own Wiki page and is the correct person mentioned in this article and the in-text mention of Hugh Ryan links you to the correct wiki page, so I imagine the error on his portrait was a silly mistake https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hugh_Ryan https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hugh_Ryan_(railway_magnate) Har-Fro (talk) 11:32, 13 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
