  • Rules on linking categories, etc:

Do not put your userpage or subpages, including work-in-progress articles, into categories used by Wikipedia articles (example: Category:1990 births). Be careful of templates and stub notices that put a work-in-progress article into categories. You can "quote" categories by adding a colon before "Category", like this: [[:Category:Bridges]]. This turns it into an ordinary link. Templates and stub notices can be turned into links to themselves by putting tl| ("tl" followed by a pipe character) in front of their names, like this: {{tl|stub}} You can also "comment out" a portion of text by placing <!-- in front of it and --> after it; this makes the parser ignore that portion of the page.

The Captain George Anderson House, also called the Octagonal House, is an historic octagon house now located at 6 King Street in Sackville, New Brunswick. It was built in 1882 by Captain George Anderson, a mariner and shipbuilder. It was later deeded to his father, Captain Titus Anderson and stayed in the Anderson family until 1901. It was used for many years by a foundry company as a storage facility, but was kept in good repair. In the late 1980s it was bought by the Town of Sackville which restored it and moved it to its present location. Since June 1989 it has been the Sackville Visitor Information Centre. In 1999 the town designated it a local heritage site.[1]Cite error: A <ref> tag is missing the closing </ref> (see the help page).[2][3]

The city of North Vancouver has declared that the building is "valued for its architecture and classically-inspired details", "distinguished by a formal central entrance and consistent, refined detailing". Saying that its "[c]olumns, symmetry and fenestration all contribute to its strong sense of proportion and formality", the city on January 1, 1995, designated it a primary local heritage site.[4][5]

First Church of Christ, Scientist is still an active congregation listed in the Christian Science Journal.[6]

The Edenbridge Hebrew Colony was founded in 1906 by Jewish immigrants who came from Lithuania via South Africa. Completed in 1906, the synagoue's wooden frame exterior, steep pitched roof and end lancet windows are typical of the plain Carpenter Gothic style buildings built by other religious groups in Saskatechewan and the rest of North America during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The elegant interior, however, reflects the eastern European roots of the Orthodox congregation. Today Beth Israel is the "oldest surviving synagogue in Skatechwan."[17]
