[edit] Canada provincial relief maps

I've come across the excellent relief maps you've done of BC and Alberta (Image:BC-relief.png and Image:AB-Relief.jpg)), and I was wondering (for private uses) if you have available similar maps for the other provinces. Tompw 23:59, 24 September 2006 (UTC)

I didn't make relief maps for other provinces so far, but I have all the necessary data, so I could create them when I find the time (possibly this week). --Qyd 00:15, 25 September 2006 (UTC)
That would be exteremely useful. Many thanks. Tompw 11:51, 25 September 2006 (UTC)
I've made a few more, you can find them in this gallery. --Qyd 15:40, 5 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] New AB Towns map

Fantastic work. I love all the work you've been doing to AB-related geography articles lately. Keep up the fantastic work. However, on that map I don't see Westlock or Barrhead. What gives? Kevlar67 09:50, 5 October 2006 (UTC)

Fixed, thanks for noticing. --Qyd 10:44, 5 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Encentre-rendering1.jpg

[edit] Weatherford International

Good Morning, I work in the Weatherford Corporate Marketing department and it is imperative that we update this page with the corrected information. The current page has wrong logos and company information. All content has been approved by the Vice President of Marketing for Weatherford. If you are able to help me update this information the correct way, please let me know. I am new to Wiki. Do you work for Weatherford? Please let me know where you have been receiving the current information if possible. I appreciate any help you might be able to provide in ensuring the page gets updated correctly.

Best Regards, Karen Vollmering 06:53, 18 October 2006

Qyd: Do you work for Weatherford? If so, please let me know if you can be of assistance in updating the page because the current information is out of date and not accurate. Also, the logo's are broken links and need to be corrected as well.

Thanks for your help. Karen Vollmering Web Communications Weatherford International 713.386.8968

No, I don't work for WI. Certainly, update the information (add links/references to sources as well). The current logos work fine here (but there's been glitches at upload.wikipedia today). Cheers. --Qyd 21:31, 18 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] South Nahanni River

Hi, I'm the one who started the South Nahanni River article and noticed that you've contributed a few times. It's the first article I've started, and I hope to be able to flesh it out and hopefully get good article status or featured article status. Right now the scope is a bit overwhelming, and it's nice to see someone else contributing to the article. Anyway, I thought I'd let you know I appreciate seeing another face there.

[edit] Mount Tambora

Thanks for reviewing it and give me some further improvements. Cheers. ;-) — Indon (reply) — 17:24, 2 November 2006 (UTC)

Ooops, I didn't check the name from flickr with the uploader is the same. I've reverted it back. Thanks for notifying me. ;-) — Indon (reply) — 17:12, 4 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Re: BC Wikiproject

I'd love to release it, but have you asked everyone else yet for any last-minute improvements? Otherwise, I'll likely release it next week or so. -→Buchanan-Hermit™/?! 03:44, 5 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Apartments and housing for rent in Canadian cities....

Hello,

I noticed the links we posted for Calgary/Edmonton rental housing were removed? Would'nt these external links prove to be a valuable reference to anyone searching for rental housing in these cities?

Any comments would be appreciated.

Sincerely,

The Rent Board of Canada www.rentboard.ca —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Rentboard (talk • contribs) 08:54, November 5, 2006.

[edit] Re: Rental housing in Canadian cities ...

Hello,

Thank-you for your clarification on the types of links that are allowed.

Looking deeper into some of the external links that currently exist for "Edmonton", it would appear that the "Edmonton Dining" link (http://www.edmontondining.com/) should be marked as "spam" as well. The above site is no different from ours -- it allows visitors to view ads for free, but charges for advertising, ie:

http://www.edmontondining.com/restaurants/advertising/edmontondining_rates.pdf

I do think however, that sites like ours, which do offer a valuable service (ie: housing) should be included -- logically, it is no different from sites that offer other types of services within a given city, ie: news, sports, city attractions, etc.

However, I do respect and support the Wikipedia initiative, and will not re-post any links until such time that a "Housing" topic is present in each city.

Sincerely,

The Rent Board of Canada http://www.rentboard.ca

[edit] Hastings, Ontario

Thorough GA review. Impressive! --Ling.Nut 06:00, 8 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Wild rose drawing

I was wondering if I can use that wild rose drawing of yours as a small part of a logo? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Quackgrassacrez (talk • contribs) 20:26, 19 November 2006.

Image:Wildrose-drawing.png is licenced under PD, meaning you can use it for any purpose. Thanks for asking though. Qyd 20:54, 19 November 2006

[edit] Barnstar

The José Martí Barnstar
For excellant work on Cuban related articles


I think you deserve this brand new barnstar for your work on Cuban geography artcles. Good work! --Zleitzen 19:02, 29 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Assessment for WPCANADA

Can you give me some examples of articles I put in the wrong class? I gave an A-rating to any article that looked fairly long without being full of fluff that had good references. --Arctic Gnome 01:55, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

Fair enough. I'll keep an eye out for that stuff when tagging articles' class. However, I have to disagree with you about the lists. The criteria to be a featured list is quite a bit easier than to be a featured article. I think most list that are complete, have references, and aren't trivial could be nominated for featured status under WP:FL, and would therefore be A-class. --Arctic Gnome 18:10, 2 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] CCOTW

You showed support for the selection of a Canada Collaboration.

This month Toronto was selected for improvement.

We hope you can contribute.

[edit] Cuba

I see that you mentioned on Z's talk page that you'll be coming to Cuba soon. Where are you visiting ? -- Beardo 11:42, 2 December 2006 (UTC)

So hadn't you better write an article for Bacuyanagua ? -- Beardo 18:30, 2 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] "Calgaty [sic] Zoo"

I guess I was thrown by the two things: 1) the editor was from an anonymous IP address with an atrocious record of vandalism. 2) The edits included "Calgaty". Thanks for handling the reversion calmly. Hu 01:34, 7 December 2006 (UTC)
