- I'd like to second a welcome to you, Lotalota. I didn't mean to seem accusatory regarding the Quetico fishing typo; I just wanted to let you know I was changing it in case it was less cut & dry than it seemed. I like your user name, you definitely should have a wiki link to Lota lota on your user page! If you're up to it, the Quetico Provincial Park article could use a lot of expanding and it sounds like you know the Quetico. Also, if you weren't already aware, I'd like to draw your attention to the BWCAWiki, the free encyclopedia of the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness. The BWCAWiki isn't affiliated with Wikipedia, but runs on the same software so it should look and act familiar. Cheers, BlueCanoe 04:12, 31 July 2006 (UTC)
Changes in Quetico fishing regulations
editThis sentence: "In 2007 barbless hooks and artificial bait will be banned from use in the park." is incorrect. The ban will be on barbed hooks and live bait, requiring the use of barbless hooks and artificial lures. This is to reduce injury to fish and prevent the introduction of non-native species, respectively. See the Quetico Fisheries Stewardship Plan (PDF). -- BlueCanoe 17:19, 30 July 2006 (UTC)

An editor has answered your question on this article's talk page. The article does qualify for deletion, but I will leave it for a bit to give you a chance to read the comment made.--Anthony.bradbury 22:35, 21 May 2007 (UTC)
