[edit] Eddie Francis
MM, I need your help/advice over the article for Windsor's mayor Eddie Francis. I seem to be in a slow-moving revert war with an anonymous user who prefers an article that looks like a campaign pamphlet, in my humble opinion. What can and should be done to stop this? A partial-protect on the article comes to mind, although it seems like overkill. PKT 14:23, 23 January 2007 (UTC)
- I think reverting that user's edits when they occur is the best bet right now - they're not frequent, and are easy to spot. I'll add the article to my watchlist too. If the user becomes more persistent, I'll consider stronger action, but it's not at that stage yet. Mindmatrix 15:18, 24 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] WGO exists
If you lived in the Ilam, Avonhead or Burnside areas in Christchurch, New Zealand you would know of the Westgrove OGs and their activities. Stop trying to delete the page. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 125.238.149.192 (talk) 03:53, 5 February 2007 (UTC).
- Have a look at my deletion log and point to the deletion for which you've raised this objection - I can't seem to find it, so either you haven't given me the correct name, you've got the wrong user, or you're trolling. Mindmatrix 14:33, 5 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Collaboration template
I see you have created the following template:
and am wondering about its intended use. -- Fyslee's (First law) 09:11, 10 February 2007 (UTC)
- It's used in the Canada collaboration, which is unfortunately inactive right now. Mindmatrix 15:39, 11 February 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for your note - i would put them for speedy deletion, except I don't know how! Heliomance 15:35, 26 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Graphic Design Links
Hi Mindmatrix
I thought I would say hello as we obviously have a different outlook on the usefulness of the links on the graphic design page.
I appreciate that this area can be abused, but I really think that both the about page (which you kept) and the Design Talkboard link are relevant resources and add value to the graphic design page. I added both these links some time ago.
The article I linked to has very specific articles on graphic design job descriptions, a subject which is not covered elsewhere in as informative a way. Perhaps we should add something like this to the Wiki (the graphic design page probably needs some serious work in many areas)? But until then I think this is a crucial resource and I occasionally like to add others. Perhaps can talk additions and deletions over before just going ahead?
All the best

[edit] Ah, well...
Given that your own "fact check" reverted back to my numbers, I'm not sure what's up... I'm aware new census data is going to change/augment these numbers. But we weren't citing the Canadian census; we were citing the provincial government—sources I added. My edit was correct. Marskell 20:32, 13 March 2007 (UTC)
- Bizarre note: this shows changes that I literally was not aware of making. I don't think I was looking at an old version, so I don't know how this is possible. I changed 5.9 to 5.8 and 8.9 to 7.8 and nothing else. At least, dead sober, that's what I remember doing. Your own changes have simply confirmed my own. Marskell 20:39, 13 March 2007 (UTC)

- All I can deduce is that I did pull up an older version; if it's an argument between you and your browser, usually you made the mistake...
-
- Note the current intro doesn't read properly: "...a provincial planning area that differs from the federal CMA, had a population of 5,555,912 at the 2006 Canadian Census." We introduce it as a provincial area and then source it to a federal doc; the point has become muddled. Marskell 18:39, 14 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Census
I have no idea as to whether this "undercount" point is a valid one or not, but I thought you might be interested in the discussion at Talk:Ottawa#Population, given that it could have ramifications for other Canadian articles. Skeezix1000 12:10, 15 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Thanks for the correction on the article move
Regarding your fixes on Regular expression examples thanks for the correction, and also for cleaning up some of the improperly formatted links. dr.ef.tymac 20:26, 31 March 2007 (UTC)
