[edit] Re: Canadian spelling

Ok, I see now where I went wrong in changing the spelling. Thanks for letting me know about it and I'll change back the articles where I made the mistake. MusiMax (talk) 00:59, 17 March 2008 (UTC)

  • Thanks very much, Max. Ground Zero | t 11:17, 17 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Speedy deletion of Template:Canadian elections/UFO

A tag has been placed on Template:Canadian elections/UFO requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section T3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a deprecated or orphaned template. After seven days, if it is still unused and the speedy deletion tag has not been removed, the template will be deleted.

If the template is intended to be substituted, please feel free to remove the speedy deletion tag and please consider putting a note on the template's page indicating that it is substituted so as to avoid any future mistakes (<noinclude>{{transclusionless}}</noinclude>).

Thanks. --MZMcBride (talk) 21:10, 23 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] WTF?

Did you see this item on Michaelm's talk page?

Michael, I'm glad I found you here. I have been wanting to tell you that I'm no longer angry at you for call me so late at night. You didn't expect to actually get me on the phone, you thought you would get an answering machine. So do you forgive me for saying those bad things to you? BStronach 20:35, 28 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Media

Whoops. You're right. I simply meant to erase the "the" out of "Appearances in the media"...I inadvertently capitalized "media." Changed it. Thanks. --Mass147 (talk) 00:39, 31 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Election candidate lists

I've been mulling an idea I'd like to run by you, which could potentially provide a workable solution to the current set of flaws in creating merged candidate lists for Canadian elections — specifically, the problem created when people have stood as candidates in multiple elections.

Basically, what I'm thinking about is that instead of creating lists organized by election, perhaps we could organize lists by letter instead. So instead of having to copy-and-paste Gerry McIntaggart, frex, into multiple election articles, instead he'd be in just one list, perhaps named something like "List of New Democratic Party politicians - M" or something to that effect. That way there'd be just one target article, and all the relevant articles would thus link to the same place. This would also have the benefit of eliminating the by-election problem — Rebecca Coad, for example, would go on a C list instead of a by-year list that's technically the wrong place for her.

Do you think this might be a potential solution, or does it just create other problems? Bearcat (talk) 00:55, 31 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Response to Single words not being linkied properly=

Sometimes I'm in a hurry while editing. I have my finger in about 3 million other Wikipies at any given time.

[edit] Lurline Champagnie

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Lurline Champagnie, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

[edit] New Project

Myself and several other editors have been compiling a list of very active editors who would likely be available to help new editors in the event they have questions or concerns. As the list grew and the table became more detailed, it was determined that the best way to complete the table was to ask each potential candidate to fill in their own information, if they so desire. This list is sorted geographically in order to provide a better estimate as to whether the listed editor is likely to be active.

If you consider yourself a very active Wikipedian who is willing to help newcomers, please either complete your information in the table or add your entry. If you do not want to be on the list, either remove your name or just disregard this message and your entry will be removed within 48 hours. The table can be found at User:Useight/Highly Active, as it has yet to have been moved into the Wikipedia namespace. Thank you for your help. Useight (talk) 17:29, 3 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Question on Museum at Bethel Woods

this clean-up, I understand most, but why de-wikilink October 2007. I thought that was accepted practice that month+year were OK whereas standalone year was not. Can you explain so I can get this right finally? Thanks! TravellingCarithe Busy Bee 18:48, 26 May 2008 (UTC)

Thanks, it does clarify although I don't agree with the MOS in that case. Thanks for explaining :) TravellingCarithe Busy Bee 02:28, 27 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Firstwind is back

Looks like Firstwind is back, using 195.101.63.39 (contributions). Any chance of a block being placed? Even just for a week or two, it might deter him. I wouldn't like to permanently block it since I believe it's a public IP, and one never knows how many great contributors there may be lurking in Nantes... ;) Thanks. --Schcamboaon scéal? 16:23, 5 June 2008 (UTC)

Thanking you. --Schcamboaon scéal? 17:42, 6 June 2008 (UTC)
