[edit] Octopus size

Oh please. You could link to 100 websites that repeat the same questionable records and it wouldn't change a thing. The North Pacific Giant Octopus usually weighs around 15 kg (even one of the sites you linked states this) and yet they sometimes grow to 270 kg? Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. Find me one reliable source that specifically compares the two species and states Enteroctopus dofleini is larger than Haliphron atlanticus (the latter is only known to grow larger since the discovery of the 2002 specimen). Mgiganteus1 20:36, 12 October 2006 (UTC)

Yes, I would stick with the current intro as it clearly states the facts; one is the largest based on scientific records, while the other could grow larger but this remains unproven. Mgiganteus1 21:01, 12 October 2006 (UTC)

To be honest, I don't think that's necessary. The introduction is pretty clear in my opinion. Mgiganteus1 22:28, 13 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Re: Belcarra

I don't really know what you're referring to, but I don't think I had anything to do with that. I've never really edited Belcarra articles before. -→Buchanan-Hermit ™/?! 00:56, 29 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Standing In The Rain

You are really going to have to explain what it is that makes this song notable. Is it a single? The article doesn't say. Is it the theme song for some movie/tv show? The article doesn't say. All it says is that it's a cut from an album. This fails our song notability guidelines. If you continue to revert, I will nominate it for deletion. User:Zoe|(talk) 02:32, 31 October 2006 (UTC)

Here comes AfD. User:Zoe|(talk) 03:00, 31 October 2006 (UTC)

Yes, AfD is articles for Deletion. User:Zoe|(talk) 04:20, 31 October 2006 (UTC)

I said I would nominate it for deletion if you reverted the redirect. User:Zoe|(talk) 20:42, 2 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Shifting Fortunes

I've only got two minutes but will spew momentarily; made some immediate changes and will be back; the Bennett II era needs more content, and there's other circumstances important in the NDP years; I'll also try and expand the preceding section ('50s and '60s). About the POV/Socredism thing, part of the problem is that popular history as conveyed in what you learn from the press is heavily filtered to start with; important events most younger and new Canadians just aren't aware of, "how the way things were" not accurately conveyed by journalists, even those like Vaughan Palmer and Trevor Lautens who were around back then, whenever "then" was; I've adjusted the Van derZalm story a bit but other aspects of his regime are important, including the Seton Portage incident and others. Johnston as a lame-duck, and a very lame lame-duck, also needs more explanation. But I'll be back; off to the gym...Skookum1 02:29, 17 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Wikiproject Automobiles Notification

Hi TotallyTempo, you were on the list of members at WikiProject Automobiles and we are introducing a new way of listing members, as the old list was becoming too long. Our new method involves having all of our members in a category.

To add yourself to the category just add the userbox to your user page by putting {{Wiki Auto Project}} where you want the userbox. Alternatively if you don't like the userbox you can add [[Category:WikiProject Automobiles members|TotallyTempo]] to your userpage.

If you no longer wish to be a member of the project, simply don't add the userbox or category, there's no pressure. Thanks for your time, James086^{Talk | Contribs} 04:34, 17 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] B.C./C.-B.

Thanks for your note! I appreciate that feelings can sometimes run deep on the issue of bilingualism, and striving for the neutral POV is a constant effort. Thanks also for your hard work on the article itself. i had some time this afternoon, so I thought I'd just plunge in and do some editing around the good framework you produced. Cheers - and enjoy your visit to Richmond! Fishhead64 04:15, 18 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] The right honourable Stephen Harper

I noticed you reverted my edit, I read the stlye guide and do not see why this wikipedia policy exists. It clearly notes that Harper is styled the Right Honourable for life so even if he were to lose the prime Minister ship he is still called the right honourable stephen harper. As such, is it not his title and cosequently shouldn't it be used when referring to him. TotallyTempo 19:36, 15 January 2007 (UTC)

I'm not sure exactly why we have that rule in the style guide, but it's there, so we should follow it. I voted for Harper; I'm not biased in any way here. I just checked a version of the the Jean Chretien article from when he was still PM, and it follows the same guideline. Apparently, Encarta also follows this guideline, as does Britannica. And our Tony Blair article also follows that guideline. The general rule appears to be to identify people at the beginning of the article by their full name, not by honorifics. -- Jim Douglas ^(talk) _(contribs) 19:52, 15 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] My signature... boo-hoo

My signature tends to change a lot. My use of the Nazi and Soviet flags in one version of my signature in no way connotes a personal liking to either political faction. Rather, it served to represent my historical interest in dark aspects of history. Please reframe from childishly showing your disgust in my signatures. If you dislike my signature, I’m sure you’ll just as equally hate me in person. Be glad the only part of me you’ll see is my signature. Next, you’ll probably tell me you don’t like music notes. —№tǒŖïøŭş4lĭfė ♫♪ 05:31, 29 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Re:User signature

When did we butt heads before? I don't remember ever running into you before on Wikipedia. Anyway, where exactly do you see a swastika a hammer and sickle on Notorious4life's signature? I just see that he used non-English characters in his signature. I asked some other people too, and no one seems to see what you're seeing. Can I get a screenshot of what you're seeing? That might help me understand the problem here. Nishkid 64 18:11, 29 January 2007 (UTC)

Hi; reply on my talkpage. Skookum1 22:30, 29 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] hey

Hey, thanks for fixing up Arwala a bit. I appreciate the effort. Often I make stubs of little known places that I read about in the economist. I'm just curious, how exactly did you stumble across Arwala, it's pretty obscure. TotallyTempo 06:00, 23 March 2007 (UTC)

Hi Tempo,

There's this great automatic tool called AutoWikiBrowser. It's great for automated clean-up of articles. You can also use its "Google search" function to search for common spelling errors, and I spend a portion of each week just fixing spelling on Wikipedia. AWB will conduct a Google search on Wikipedia articles for spelling errors that you request. In this case, I asked AWB to search for any article containing the phrase "to it's", as almost all of these instances (not all, but almost all) are typos or punctuation errors. It compiles these huge lists, often with up to 1,000 articles (it stops at 1,000) that have that typo in them. Then, I fix them. So, that's how I discovered Arawala. It looks like the article still needs some work, however, so that it complies with WP:MOS. Keep on doing what you're doing, Tempo. Best wishes and happy editing, Firsfron of Ronchester 17:45, 23 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Please stop

Please be aware of WP:3RR. --Tjsynkral 19:12, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] re:Yup

Alright, well instead of sitting and reverting her edits, lets go straight to reporting her- i'm unsure whether we have enough here to have her banned, although its worth a try. Cheers, Jonomacdrones _(talk) 19:18, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

#1, I'm a guy. #2, Wikipedia policy states: "On a user's own talk page, policy does not prohibit the removal of comments at that user's discretion, although archival is preferred to removal. Please note, though, that removing warnings from one's own talk page is often frowned upon." Frowned upon but perfectly legal. My actions are not vandalism. Given that you have been made aware of this, further reverts will constitute a conscious violation of 3RR. --Tjsynkral 19:20, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

Due to the dubious nature of Tjsynkral's edits, i sent a report to the admins. Cheers, Jonomacdrones _(talk) 19:24, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Infiniti G20

I would like to be involved in the discussion of the edits of the Infiniti G20 entry. Please provide a link to the the discussion in which the paint code section of the article was debated. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Zoli Elo (talk • contribs) 18:09, 3 April 2007 (UTC).

[edit] Anmore road issue

I don't remember exactly where I read about it. It was definitely on the Anmore website, it was either in council minutes or in the Anmore Times. I'm not sure which it was, I've been reading both lately since I am moving to Anmore in a few weeks from now. I've tried to figure out which meeting's notes I read it in, but I can't seem to find it anymore. I know I read it, just not which meeting's minutes it was in.. GeeCee 22:28, 5 April 2007 (UTC)

Looks like the template uses mayor instead of Mayor. Damn you case sensitivity! GeeCee 03:16, 11 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Port Coquitlam gossip

The problem with the gossip in the Port Coquitlam article was with the way you added the reference (adding it at the end of the article went totally un-noticed). Try Cite.php style (<ref></ref> and <references/>, see usage), it makes it easier to verify. That being said, an edit summary containing "juicy gossip" practically begs for a revert, see WP:NOT. Cheers. --Qyd 12:12, 6 April 2007 (UTC)
