[edit] Blog

[edit] 14:22, 13 July 2006 (UTC)

• Cadillac Ranch, by the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band?
• Write an article on Diavik Diamond Mine on Lac de Gras (ok, since it exists, check it out)
• Read Wikipedia's policy on links, and linking dates (WP:MOSNUM)

03:07, 14 July 2006 (UTC) Link full dates so that user's prefernces can be used with date display

[edit] 22:15, 11 July 2006 (UTC)

• Update the Canada section on Decolonization of the Americas with information from Canadian Confederation

03:23, 12 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] 19:06, 7 July 2006 (UTC)

• Fix images on Dual-tone multi-frequency

[edit] 21:35, 4 July 2006 (UTC)

• Add Paris Bridge Picture (French) to Wikipedia Commons, and add in correct spot to Haussmann's renovation of Paris

00:49, 20 July 2006 (UTC)

• • • However, several sections have been added to the French article, which could (should) be translated and added to the English article
• Review Canadian identity

deleted (?) I'm looking into it. My clues are User:Kimchi.sg listed page and the deletion log 05:31, 20 July 2006 (UTC)

• Look into how a to-do list works

[edit] 22:07, 30 June 2006 (UTC)

I figured out how to change my signature, so I added a little maple leaf behind my name now. Mr Minchin I guess this is going out of fashion, but I think it's cool.

I should start the following pages in my own space, and then when I have something written, move them over to the main Wikipedia name space

• APEGGA
• PDT, and the other North American time zones
• Edmonton Convention Centre, which I believe is an old name for the Shaw Confrence Centre
• Edmonton Exhibition Grounds, which I belive is either Northlands, or part of it

I need to figure out how to add the coordinates to the title bar on various pages, and then go to town with that, too.

[edit] 22:13, 16 June 2006 (UTC)

I should add Association of Professional Engineers, Geologists and Geophysicists of Alberta (APEGGA)

[edit] 02:41, 29 January 2006 (UTC)

I discovered the fun of userboxes. Some of them crack me up! Maybe I went a little overboard with them... I'm not sure how to get them to lay out nicely. Suggestions?

[edit] 19:19, 15 December 2005 (UTC)

A couple of thougths of things to write up include:

• Rewriting "Edmonton"
• Translating " Edmonton" into French (and back)
• adding CISN-FM 103.9 FM
• adding communities in Strathcona County, Alberta
• Review the University of Alberta page

Et, moi en français.

I suppose I should put up a little something, so here we go. Hope I can offer something useful.

[edit] Photo Gallery

Just an interesting photo I came across.

Suburban housing developments near Markham, Ontario.

This was actually a featured image, but it shows sururbia so well.

ASCII Macarena - this was too funny to pass up!

Colourful Candian Money!

[edit] Userbox Gallery

I've played around with Wiki code a little bit, and in the process, created a few of my own Userboxes.

Code	Result
{{User:Mr Minchin/Userboxes/User Canadian English}}	This user contributes using Canadian English.
{{User:Mr Minchin/Userboxes/User Pi}}	Pi ≈ 3.1415926535897932384626
{{User:Mr Minchin/Userboxes/User Love Farmers}}	Love Farmers, They Feed You.
{{User:Mr_Minchin/Userboxes/User_Parrallel_Universe}}	Image:Saturn Nebula.jpg This user feels like he's diagonally parked in a parallel universe.
{{User:Mr Minchin/Userboxes/User Crazy Frog}}	Image:Annoyingthing.jpg This user thinks that Crazy Frog is annoying.

I must admit that the Pi one is not my own creation...someone (or some bot) must of subst: it onto my page, so I just recreated it as a template. Crazy Frog was another one I found along the way.

The farmers one and the universe one are more bumper stickers than Userboxes, but it's fun to play and learn the wiki.
