[edit] Comment

Hey Brian, I am a new user of Wikipedia. While I am new here I have worked with wiki's previously (making wiki book) and I know the regulations here. I noticed you deleted several photo links which I provided for some pages just because they are at the personal website. But I think some of them are the best photo pages related to those categories (For example my photo link for Tobermory & Elora Gorge) which I believe they can help the readers a lot. If I were you, I would not delete SIX links in different pages just because of my personal judgment. I might delete one or two links but for the rests I would wait to see others ideas. As you surely know, Wiki works based on the group thought and judgment. If you believe that these photo links are not the best or they are not proper/related enough, some people may believe they are absolutely appropriate. I will be thankful if you wait to see other users ideas and then track me to delete my added links. However I believe you should revert your changes for Tobermory, Toronto Zoo and Elora Gorge pages while I am not sure about Kingston, Ottawa and CN tower. Hope you consider my request.

Thanks,

Hey Brian,

Thank you very much for your comprehensive & quick answer. While I agree with you in some of the mentioned points I disagree on the others. I think for some of the articles, more than one or two photos are required and having one or two photo gallery links can be really useful. For example for Kingston or Ottawa you need at least 10-15 photos to show their main attractions. I agree with you that it should not be several photo websites links at the article page but always the approx. best ones can be found. If you replaced my photos links with other photo links (better ones) or if you remove a link because there is a better/more useful link there, it would be totally fine with me but when there is no other photo link there why we should not put a useful photo link. I am not trying to convince you but I just want to clarify my view point. Anyway thanks again for your consideration. I should be mention in end that I am kind of amazed by the number of contribution you have had just in a few months and how active you are in the Wikipedia.

Best Regards, —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Hbayat (talk • contribs).

Hey Brian, thanks for all the help cleaning up my mess of information on voyageurs and whatnot. Looks great! Jay user:upshot

[edit] Gander International Airport

I'm just curious but is Gander International Airport the same location as CFB Gander? If it is and you have the time could you edit the article to reflect that? Also a CFB Gander redirect would be a good idea. I thouhg I would ask as you seem to have a knowledge of Canadian Forces Bases. Thanks. CambridgeBayWeather (Talk) 16:16, 24 December 2005 (UTC)

Yup, same place. I've placed redirects on the List of Royal Canadian Air Force stations and included CFB and RCAF categories for Gander International Airport. BrianC 23:00, 24 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Wikimedia Canada

Hi there! I'd like to invite you to explore Wikimedia Canada, and create a list of people interested in forming a local chapter for our nation. A local chapter will help promote and improve the organization, within our great nation. We'd also like to encourage everyone to suggest projects for our national chapter to participate in. Hope to see you there!--DarkEvil 17:11, 20 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] I know who you are!

Thanks for the contributions to the Wolseley, Saskatchewan article...If this is who I think it is, I went to school with your son.

[edit] RCAF Mossbank...

Thanks for cleaning up and adding info. although I know very little about some of the abandoned airfields, I find it sad that important pieces of recent history are fading into oblivion.

I even visited the Western Development museum in the hope of finding out more, very interesting displays but very little documented info.

One of these days I will put a picture or two about the alternate landing field (Buttress) which is 6 miles south of CFB Moose Jaw.

Again thank you! Letès keep history alive.

Might I suggest that, on your userpage, you place a statement distinguishing you from the rather controversial Brian G. Crawford? DS 18:07, 16 November 2006 (UTC)
