Personal life

• I presume there's no easy answer as to whether the 1906 exhibition had an actual name? I've tried poking around the internet, and the Calgary Stampede was called "Alberta Provincial Exhibition" for two years (1909-1910), but that's wrong location, wrong year.
• Reference 26 is a bare link.
• The link isn't working for me, but this database (if it's still even up) would give you a second source for Alexander May as postmaster... http://www.collectionscanada.gc.ca/databases/post-offices/index-e.html

Passing "civic politics", "references", "bibliography". -- Zanimum (talk) 21:55, 1 March 2014 (UTC)

Regarding ref26 - it is a seemingly extremely unstable link - not sure why, but the Archives Canada links are brutal in the sense that you're lucky if they work (and if they do, they take a long time to load). Will keep trying... Connormah (talk) 23:06, 1 March 2014 (UTC)

Got it to work, I've filled it in for you. -- Zanimum (talk) 19:49, 2 March 2014 (UTC)

Passing infobox, "Career in Edmonton", pictures... and wow, you've been dedicated to local history for Alberta on Wikipedia, I'm seeing the upload date of May's signature. Good on you for longevity. The only things remaining aren't strictly necessary, so pass! (If you can find the exhibition's name, that would be cool, but it's not critical.) -- Zanimum (talk) 19:49, 2 March 2014 (UTC)

Thanks for the praise, and the ref fill (perhaps I should link an archive to that one). I'll look around for the name, it could be out there somewhere. Thanks for the great review once again. Connormah (talk) 20:19, 2 March 2014 (UTC)
