[edit] Prhizzm

Hey BFD1, thanks for your contributions on the Prhizzm page. I'd love to get more done with it, so any good information you have, don't hesitate to add it. OsgoodeLawyer 14:04, 16 April 2006 (UTC)

My pleasure, Osgoodelawyer. Thanks for your help. BFD1 01:44, 17 April 2006 (UTC)BFD1

Okay, with all your knowledge of Jon Dellandrea and your username including Brendan Dellandrea's initials, I have to ask: are you him? -- OsgoodeLawyer 13:59, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
I lose points for originality with my username, don't I? Yes, I am... I hope that won't cause too much trouble. BFD1 22:58, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
I don't think it would cause any trouble. You should probably be added to Wikipedians with articles, though, to make users aware of the possibility of non-NPOV statements in your own article (but right now there's little likelihood of anyone thinking that). -- OsgoodeLawyer 17:05, 19 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] University of Toronto

I found the answer at Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style#National_varieties_of_English. Ardenn 19:23, 29 June 2006 (UTC)

Hello. The U of T is probably the 5th oldest university in Canada. Laval (1663), UNB (1785), University of King's College (1789) Dalhouse (1818), McGill (1821). Paulelastic 19:42, 17 July 2006 (UTC)

Well I kinda think that since it's 5th oldest, it doesn't really need to be mentioned. In my mind, age doesn't necessarily confer value to an institution, so saying a school is "one of the oldest" seems unnecessary to me. For instance, Waterloo is fairly young, but its reputation exceeds that of much older schools. But this is just my opinion... you are free to make changes to the U of T article if you want, as long as it is fairly NPOV. The reason I removed the original statement in the first place was because it was ambiguous (e.g. I could claim that York was one of the oldest universities in the country and it would not be untrue, strictly speaking, because the phrase "one of the oldest" is ambiguous). My aim is to ensure that university articles on Wikipedia read like articles and not like subtle (or often, unsubtle) rodomontades. That's all. Thanks. Paulelastic 03:42, 18 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Kuhn

I'm a recent alumnus of U of T and now a graduate student at York. If you're an "avid fan of Kuhn," as it indeed seems from your response to my note at the Kuhn page, then we should definitely talk. --JTBurman 21:48, 15 July 2006 (UTC)

Hey, thanks. I'm glad you like it here. OzLawyer 17:12, 24 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] John Derringer

Thanks for the info on what's being done with inserting John Derringer's birthday. I don't have any hard evidence, unless you can get copies of his morning show broadcasts. But I listen to him every morning, and I know that they were celebrating his birthday on September 21, and that he mentioned several days ago that he was 43 years old. That's what I based the information on. Jakebelder 16:27, 11 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Typo on quote

Thanks for picking that up; obviously you are right, if the misspelling was present in the original. --Spellmaster 00:36, 10 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Zanta Article

Hi BFD1, Thanks for following up on the Zanta article deletion. While Zanta's published notoriety outside of Toronto is somewhat lower than, say, the Naked Cowboy in New York, the esential relevance of his existence is not. I am new to this community and have only ever attempted to edit one article, but I'd like to provide some support for you in the debate about whether the article is relevant to a global audience. Let me know if you are looking for support in any particular place: negotiating where to log my complaint, even, is really difficult to figure out! Xtormenta 18:25, 5 December 2006 (UTC)


  • I'm with xtormenta - thanks for taking the lead on this! If there can be countless pages on Pokémon, Zanta deserves a page too! --Xfireworksx 04:44, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Kim Mitchell

with respect,what other reliable source are you looking for.joanne and kim were talking about this live on the air.i dont think there is a more reliable source then that.do not delete again unless you can come up with a better reason then the weak lame excuse you used last time.

myfro—The preceding unsigned comment was added by Myfro (talk • contribs).

i have removed the following section based on your arguement that it is unsourced and we only have the writers word that this was indeed said by kim on the radio."In December of 2005, Mitchell had proposed to the Q107 listeners that they write a Christmas song together. The resulting song is entitled "A Christmas Smile". At the end of the song, Mitchell advises his fans not to drink and drive, but to "go for a soda" instead."If you would like the opinion of other editors besides myself, we can create a request for comment.If you wish to take the matter up further please do so on Talk:Kim Mitchell.

Myfro 12:49, 4 March 2007 (UTC)

hello,would an email/edit from joanne wilder or kim himself count as reliable.if you would like i can ask either to clarify? Myfro 22:38, 4 March 2007 (UTC)

Hey dude didn't your parents ever tell you about people who live in glass houses.First about being not neutral,you are guilty yourself of this by deleting my unsourced claim stated by kim on the radio but leaving posted the unsourced claim by kim which i deleted.It seems to me you left the one because it was to your liking but deleted mine because you "personally" did not approve of it.Tell me why you left the one but deleted the other? Second i will withdraw my line but will,as per your "rule" delete any edits attributed to anything supposedly said by kim on the radio.In my opinion,by your bias against my edit, you have just made this page weaker.Another old saying i can recall is an old chinese curse."Be careful what you wish for.... Myfro 23:01, 16 March 2007 (UTC) hey dude,i know they were not your edits,my question was why did you not delete them with my line? the both were right in front of your screen.Myfro 23:50, 16 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] David Zancai

Good catch on the word actor in the first section. I had missed that one and only removed the category marker. --Renrenren 20:22, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

While we're on the topic, reffering to him as a Christmas character is a bit of a stretch as well. I don`t think he fits in with the Jack Frost's and Mrs Claus's of the world. Perhaps that one should come down as well. --Renrenren 20:31, 19 March 2007 (UTC)
