[edit] Aboriginal peoples in Canada

I have reverted your change to Aboriginal peoples in Canada. Please review the debate that occured on the Canadian wikipedians' notice board regarding that article. If you still believe the article's content should be deleted or merged with another article, please state so on the notice board or on the Talk:Aboriginal peoples in Canada page, along with your justifications for doing so. You, I, and other Wikipedians can then debate your proposal. Thanks, Kurieeto 02:34, May 6, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] James Douglas

Thanks for your kind message, Kilter, and for joining me in giving heck regarding the removal of Douglas' image from that article and from the Colony of British Columbia article. Fraser was the first Wiki project I did - I thought he really deserved better than what he had, so I signed up! As for Douglas, I haven't actually done that much work on it, and in fact I it is on my "to do" list. Cheers to you! Fishhead64 07:27, 19 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] James Douglas

First off, please assume good faith and be civil. Accusing me of being incompetent certainly doesn't put you on my good side. Anyway, that image had been tagged for deletion for having no source. It was the responsibility of the user who tagged it as such only to inform the uploader User:JillandJack (who happens to be banned, so s/he was not so notified for this particular image). I did my due diligence via Google to try and find its source, seeing as how it should most probably be legitimately public domain being so old, but was unable to find it. If you want to see the image, you can find it on one of Wikipedia's mirrors, such as Answers.com. In fact, here it is. A word of advice next time you want to leave a mean-spirited message on someone's talk page: Don't. Regards, howcheng {chat} 17:05, 20 March 2006 (UTC)

As a side note, you should check out the image description page of each image that's included in articles you care about and make sure they conform to policy. Don't get mad when administrators such as myself come along and delete things when we're supposed to. I even went beyond the call of duty to find a free use image to replace that one with. If you really care about these things, you'll be proactive instead. howcheng {chat} 23:27, 20 March 2006 (UTC)
