Talk:Five dollar note

Why do we need articles for Canadian currency anyway?? Do you know of anyone who lives in the United States who knows enough about Canadian currency to create a Wikipedia page for a Canadian $5, $10, $20, or $100 bill??

Why would it have to be someone from the United States? There are several Canadian Wikipedians. RickK | Talk 23:47, 13 Mar 2004 (UTC)

Question

How many Canadian Wikipedians are there for every 1,000,000 American Wikipedians??

Hmm... 812,251.5213431399658283. ugen64 23:54, Mar 13, 2004 (UTC)

So what's your point? RickK | Talk 00:09, 14 Mar 2004 (UTC)

1 is more than enough! Unfortunately that would mean there were 1 000 000 American Wikipedians for every Canadian and who would want that? Garrie 00:50, 2 June 2006 (UTC)

Answer

All I am trying to see is if there is any reason for Wikipedia to have a page for the Canadian $5 bill.

Why not? This is not the American Wikipedia. RickK | Talk 01:07, 14 Mar 2004 (UTC)

Bill vs. banknote

According to Talk:U.S. twenty dollar bill the word "bill" is most common in the United States and other countries normally use the word "banknote". Is it okay to move this article to Five dollar banknote and make Five dollar bill back into a re-direct to U.S. five dollar bill?? 66.245.64.54 15:25, 15 May 2004 (UTC)

• Definitely not Australia. Conjecture: Dollar bill is a phrase for the United States and Canada only; other countries use "banknote". 66.32.127.112 03:09, 22 May 2004 (UTC)

Five dollar bill → Five dollar note – the United States is the only country that uses the word "bill" as a standard term; Five dollar bill should re-direct there with a header saying {{redirect|Five dollar bill|Five dollar note}} Georgia guy (talk) 14:54, 28 November 2016 (UTC)

• OpposeSupport per nom language (and per misunderstanding). Since this is a page about the U.S. five dollar bill, and the country uses that standard terminology, then "bill" seems appropriate and is probably the only word the average U.S. reader would be used to. A good faith nom though, and I didn't know the U.S. was the only country to use the term for its currency. Randy Kryn 16:12, 28 November 2016 (UTC)

  Comment. Randy Kryn, this is not a proposed move of United States five-dollar bill. It's a proposed move of the dis-ambiguation page. The page for the United States five-dollar bill will stay at its current title. Georgia guy (talk) 16:31, 28 November 2016 (UTC)

• Support since most pages listed here use the word 'note'. kennethaw88 • talk 18:52, 28 November 2016 (UTC)
• Support. Most of the other titles use "note", so it makes sense.--Cúchullain ^t/c 19:50, 29 November 2016 (UTC)
• Support – the most common term for the specific paper currency is "note" and the term "bill" is exclusivity used only in the U.S. CookieMonster755 𝚨-𝛀 19:56, 30 November 2016 (UTC)
