I have two requests for people coming here:

  • If you intend to revert to personal attacks could you please use the {{subst:unsigned|user name|date}} template instead.
  • If you are here to complain about something I deleted could you please tell me the name of the article that you are talking about. If you do I will respond but if you don't I will ignore you.

Thanks. CambridgeBayWeather (Talk) 16:20, 19 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I just have to ask...

You reverted a change by Aluisios on Barney & Friends...removing a comma in a date. I thought commas belonged in dates--(April 6, 1992) instead of (April 6 1992). Am I wrong? Should I be removing commas when I see them? Gladys J Cortez 17:07, 21 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Recalibrated Location_map_CanadaGeo based on 8 points

21-Feb-2008: I have recalibrated the CanadaGeo map-spec template to align the markers correctly (see: Template_talk:Location_map_CanadaGeo). My phone line went dead in a rainstorm here, but I was able later to update the map settings. Sorry, for leaving the former impression that Canada cannot be mapped in Wikipedia; I want to assure you, that yes, Template:Location map polarx really can "do the impossible" and place latitude/longitude markers on those complex, real-world conic projection maps: I eventually derived the mapping formulas mathematically, to align over precise locations for most of the visible map. Due to the underlying mathematical precision, it is more likely for a particular map to have a slight graphical inaccuracy, than for the marker to miscalculate the latitude/longitude. Again, I apologize for giving the impression that complex maps cannot be handled: it does work, despite the massive, mindnumbing complexity.
Remember to set "lon_shift=4.1" to compensate for the vertical-meridian (-90) as not being in the center of the map image. -Wikid77 (talk) 19:07, 21 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I finally completed the copy right permissions as per your request. I completed it once before incorrectly causing this delay! I have added the copyright details to the qiniq talk page as is suggested but I thought I would mention this to you as well in case you are able to confirm the OTRS submission that I submitted and get the content for this page back up. The title to the message I sent to the OTRS was: [Fwd: Re: Wikipedia Copyright Authorization]

I have not received a trouble ticket number back, I use OTRS at work so not getting this concerns me, it should be automated. This is in relation to the content that you temporarily removed from: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qiniq

Hope you can assist. Charwalker (talk) 19:52, 22 February 2008 (UTC)charwalker[reply]

"Toronto/Buttonville Municipal Airport" article broken link

I thought you could help because you have edited that article a lot. I posted my question on the discussion page for that article, but I'll copy and paste it below too.


From the article discussion page:

___________________________________________________________

Broken Link! (7 Future Section)

I found a new link for the broken link to the GTAA Planning Document .pdf file at the bottom of the page, but I am not sure if the page number references still apply. It looks like the version I found is just a lower resolution pdf than the one originally cited; I can't be sure though, since I can't find the original document.

old link: http://www.gtaa.com/%5CDocuments%5Ccorporate%5CPickeringAirportDraftPlanReportHiRes.pdf

new link: http://www.gtaa.com/local/files/en/PickeringAirportDraftPlanReport.pdf

Can anyone tell me if there is a way to tell who originally added those references? Maybe that person would be able to find the new page numbers to go with the new link?

If not, here is an example of the problem I had relating the new document to the old one without the old one as a reference. For example, the wiki article currently cites page 6, but the pages on the new version are numbered i, ii, iii, not including the title page until chapter 1 begins, at which point they are numbered 1:1, 1:2, 1:3.. until chapter 2, where they are 2:1, 2:2, etc.. Page 1:6 is blank. There is no page vi (6) in the intro section, however if you begin numbering at page 1, as Adobe pdf reader does, page 6 corresponds to page v of the document, which is titled "Foreword," not a blank page.

Anyway, I'm not really a pro at this, so any suggestions would be appreciated. Jalirpa (talk) 14:59, 25 February 2008 (UTC) ___________________________________________________________[reply]

Conrad Black

I have decided to revert your revert. You are vandalising the entry for Upper Canada College (re Conrad Black). I have reviewed your NUMEROUS edits, and I see that you are a serial vandaliser - simply reverting other people's edits. In this particular case, I suggest that you take the time to BOTHER to even investigate even the SURFACE of the man - hey, he's a convicted felon - due to report for a 6-1/2 year federal sentence starting Monday - convicted for fraud (just go look at his Wikipedia entry, idiot - DUH!!!!.*

Anyway, I am going to keep a watch on you, and if you continue your conduct, them I am going to randomly go down your list of edits and reverse them. This is a warning to you - DO NOT JUST REVERSE EDITS ON ENTRIES WHICH YOU KNOW NOTHING ABOUT SIMPLY BECAUSE OF YOUR PREJUDICES.

It is people like you that make Wikipedia worthless - you are trash, and YOU ARE NOT WANTED HERE. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.129.139.97 (talk) 14:12, 29 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Very old deletion

Hi! About a year ago, you deleted an bio I'd written under my previous username, that of Don Laughlin. I can assure you that Mr. Laughlin is slightly more than a "noted gambler." He founded the town of Laughlin, Nevada itself, is the founder and owner of the Riverside Resort Hotel & Casino (itself worthy of better article) as well as a major cattle ranch in Kingman, Arizona and regularly pumps millions of dollars into the local economy. In fact, he paid for the bridge at the north end of town which connects Laughlin with Bullhead City, Arizona. The town has an article; Mr. Laughlin's bio has a red link. I don't think that finding suitable third-party references will be a problem. I wrote that article before that edict was so strictly adhered to. Might I ask you to please restore this article so that I can add some third-party refs to it? Thanks. Best, --PMDrive1061 (talk) 08:18, 3 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • Wow, talk about service...! Thank you! I need to get to bed (late on my side of the planet), but I'll address any issues the article may still have. Again, many, many thanks. --PMDrive1061 (talk) 08:23, 3 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, joy...somehow, I thought you were in England! Heck, you're only an hour ahead of me. I don't have to be at work until the afternoon, but I'm in need of heading off to stare at the backs of my eyelids. I'll find a couple of references before I do. Can't thank you enough for the help. Stay safe and stay awake.  :) Always a pleasure doing business with you. --PMDrive1061 (talk) 08:27, 3 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect of Shehu ladan

Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Shehu ladan, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Shehu ladan is a redirect to a non-existent page (CSD R1).

To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting Shehu ladan, please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. Feel free to contact the bot operator if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot, bearing in mind that this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion; it does not perform any nominations or deletions itself.

Since you've commented on WP:CANSTYLE before, I was wondering if you have any thoughts on Wikipedia talk:Canadian Wikipedians' notice board/Style guide#Neighbourhoods? Skeezix1000 (talk) 19:39, 11 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks!!!

I kept trying to figure out how to make the Image smaller, I come back see you had done it for me! I did notice how it was done with the Mp entered in with it like that. But I was dumb enough to post something on the page you told me(User:America Needs Jesus/Basketball) that was not right so I added 1 to the end of it. How can, that is if I can delete that page now? I also took you advice and tried to put it on the games page, and after a couple of tries I did it! Thank you so much. Talk to you later.

Hay River

Thanks for bringing this to my attention.

Most likely what happened is that I made a mistake of some kind when I was converting the radio stations list from the old format to the table — particularly given that the city said Kakisa but the station was listed between Hay River and Inuvik, and consequently separated from the other two Kakisa listings. And a Google search does confirm that it's a community station in Hay River; there are at least two CRTC license decisions for it. For obvious reasons, the fastest way to convert the radio lists is to cut and paste a completed table line and then change whatever has to be changed, so there's obvious potential for messing up every once in a while. And the reference source that we used to compile the radio lists (the radio lists at TVRadioWorld.com) can occasionally be wrong, too, in which case I'm invariably going to replicate any error of theirs that I can't personally identify as an error. So I've changed the listing.

CFMI is based in Vancouver, but the usual references state that it does have a fairly substantial network of rebroadcast transmitters serving communities in Northern BC and the Yukon. Bearcat (talk) 18:03, 13 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Images

Thanks for finding those, and I'll keep an eye on the Stephen Angulalik page in case you can include them. I searched the Library and Archives Canada website and couldn't find any online images for the keywords I tried, except a poor image for Baker Lake, Nunavut (its caption info was useful so I added a bit to the article). Truth be told, I haven't imported any images yet to Commons, nor pulled any images from there to an article... I know, it's time to figure it out. Cheers --Rosiestep (talk) 03:11, 18 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Awesome photo with his wife, so the response from the Prince of Wales Heritage Centre is unfortunate. As it is, I'm jazzed you could put up the one with fam at the Perry River post. Cheers --Rosiestep (talk) 03:36, 18 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Template:African topic

Hi Alan,

I understand your concern over the African topic template. The way it currently works is to link articles about people from different African countries together. That is not the main intention of the template. It should eventually work like Template:Africa topic. If you're not familiar with the Africa topic, the idea is you can place the template on any article and add something to the beginning (ex. "Fauna of", "HIV/AIDS in"), and then it automatically generates links to that topic for every African country. Unfortunately, this doesn't work when you want the articles to generate with the demonym starting off (ex. "African art", "African literature"). The African topic template is supposed to take care of that. Unfortunately, I don't know enough Wiki code in order to make it work properly. If you do, please feel free to make the appropriate changes! The other problem you mentioned about the consistency of articles to which demonyms redirect is an important issue as well. I am unsure as to which type of article is most appropriate. What do you think would be best?
