Vanity piece ? Man of Significance ? What do others think ? -- Derek Ross

I think he is a important man in regions like southern BC and the Nicola Valley Trinity Bowles

He'll more than do, he's a major backroads/history writer from what I can see -= I think I've read the Similkameen ones; don't think he wrote the Bridge River-Lillooet one which I'm more familiar with. In the long run articles on such local writers are an important thing to have in Wiki and in BC historiography in general; Garnet Basque, T.W. Paterson and fellows like Mr Shewchuk here all hav a place in an eventual Category:Historians of British Columbia as well as in the writers cat (Wikispeak for category) initially placed here. Please note: bio articles should not read like resumes, and WP:AUTO and WP:LCOI should be observed. But since Mr Shewchuk seems to be around these parts, I invite him to peruse the contents of Category:Fraser Canyon, Category:Thompson Country, Category:Similkameen Country and Category:Boundary Country, plus List of ghost towns in British Columbia, and feel free to add to or edit articles, or if you see a redlink and know about the subject, please write it. As a matter of fact, though I'm from the Bridge River Country I've been so distracted elsewhere in Wikipedia I never have gotten around to writing Bralorne, British Columbia or Pioneer Mine, British Columbia, though there's a Gold Bridge article. I just wanted to do them well, now I'm far from home and my copy of Lewis Green's book and Mrs de Hullu's....I did the best I could for a stub on Minto City from memory, but there's a potential fo a host of articles up there, Brexton, Ogden et al; Bralorne Mines, Inc. and Pioneer Mines, Inc. would beep corporate articles from their town articles. Hint, hint. but anything you could do in the Category:Nicola Country would be great. Pleas note re that cat vs the Category:Thompson-Nicola Regional District that the one is more for history and geographic articles and community articles, the other for institutional/government/infrastructure articles and the like, though many articles will have both. A main Nicola Country article has yet to be written, although Nicola River exists and Nicola (chief) exist but edits and additions to them are welcome; Chillaheetza or whatever the proper spelling now is needs writing, and Douglas Lake Ranch and so on; likewise in the Similkameen a big gap is Granite Creek, British Columbia and Copper Mountain, British Columbia and so on; Canadian Cascades, [[Clera Range, Cornwall Hills, Basque, British Columbia, Semlin Valley/Semlin Ranch, Highland Valley Copper Mine, [][Giant Mascot Mine]] and Thompson Plateau also come to mind.....anyway please visit and join Wikipedia:WikiProject British Columbia. and welcome to Wikipedia (even if the writing you do here doesn't pay, except in a sense of gratification and public education)
