[edit] HKWNB, HKCOTW, Current events
Hi. Thanks for your contributions to some Hong Kong-related articles. You might be interested to take a look at HK wikipedians' notice board, HK Collaboration of the Week and Current events in Hong Kong and Macao. — Instantnood 10:24, May 6, 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Wikimania 2006
In the course of informal discussions at Wikimania in Frankfurt the possibility of having Wikimania 2006 in Vancouver was raised. What makes Canada desirable for such a meeting is the capacity to draw delegates from the United States. For many overseas delegates, however, U.S. visa requirements make that country less attractive. All else being equal, Europeans see Vancouver as a more interesting Canadian city to visit than Toronto, the only other Canadian city to receive significant consideration.
Preliminary bids from various cities need to be made by Sept. 30, 2005. A short list will be drawn from those bids. Is there enough interest and energy to put together such a conference in Vancouver for August 2006? The people in Frankfurt put on a tremendous gathering, with a core organizational group of about a dozen people. Some 400 people attended from 52 different countries.
I expect that a North American Wikimania could be a little smaller, but we would still need a suitable facility. It would be good to know that such a facility is available for a conference; the type of youth hostel facility that was used in Frankfurt does not exist in North America. What would be the cost of hosting such a conference at UBC?
I'm looking for interest and commitment. To that end I am proposing a Vancouver meetup for Saturday, Sept. 24. If someone has a reasonably accesible place for such a meeting please let me know. (I live in Richmond, but something in the city of Vancouver would be more appropriate.)
I am spammiong this to all Vancouver area Wikipedians that I can find. Please reply to my talk page. Eclecticology 21:50:16, 2005-09-03 (UTC)

[edit] Re:Image:Zangjiesi-declare.jpg
re Image:Zangjiesi-declare.jpg, I kind of assumed things because the note I got on the pic was that he was declaring war, which did not officially occur until 1941. Of course, I am really assumming things, so if you think I am mistaken, please change it because I probably am mistaken. Thanks for pointing it out, --Jiang 03:37, 23 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] Bad manners
Imagine someone had a userbox like yours for the EU for Canada or for other unions like the US, the UK, or the United Arab Emirates. It is just bad manners. ROGNNTUDJUU! 20:28, 4 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Italy
No, we don't need all this small parties. We could add them in a note, not in the table itself. Personally I would like to add up to votes of the Italian and the abroad votes for each party, since both are part of the electorate. Electionworld = Wilfried (talk 20:43, 12 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Seating Plan
The reason for the two tories and the dipper begin separated from caucus is because they are deputy Speakers. I guess as speakers they need to be away from thier parties in order to appear more neutral. What's wierd is that when the libs were in power, thier dep speakers were joined with caucus. Anyway, I would keep the way it currently looks simply because it is the actual seating plan. With regard to older plans, I made them up based on the basic way they assign seats. MS123
