[edit] Suggestion for use with Royal Canadian Sea Cadets
Often we find tools too late. Looking at what you are doing (great work, btw), may I suggest you use Template:Todo, and simply install it on the talk page. After you save, IT does everything to list the "to do" stuff. Of course you do have to edit it and put the stuff in there.
It will make you scratch your head for about 2 minutes tops, and then pay dividends.
I'd have added it, but that would seem like forcing my opinion on you :) So just add {{todo}} where oyu want the "To Do list" to appear. You can always remove it if you don't like it :) Fiddle Faddle 20:45, 11 December 2006 (UTC)
- See my note on the Sea Cadets discussion page on DND/CF members modifying Wikipedia pages. I also recommend the semi-protection of the page to prevent anonymous posters.

[edit] Moved this message for you
Info for Quadra -
To repeat: - Each of you. Quadra and Sancho have a lot to offer fixing these pages and making them reflect well on the Cadet Organization. You have the technical skills. It is also worth considering that members of the CF are constrained in their ability to produce material for the public on any CF or Government program. DAOD 2008, and Q R and O apply. Therefore precision is paramount rather than perception, guess work, or rumour. It would be counterproductive through your well meaning and important effort to cause a CATO or Routine Order to be constructed and issued thereby amplifying those regulations and further restricting participating in this process by members of the organization unless authorized. That is a serious consideration! - - How much more productive if we could together create something that is unasailable. Right now these pages are neither original research or of any value to anyone who would want comprehensive, knowledge or information about the Canadian Cadet Organization. 131.137.245.198 17:56, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Articles you might like to edit, from SuggestBot
SuggestBot predicts that you will enjoy editing some of these articles. Have fun!
SuggestBot picks articles in a number of ways based on other articles you've edited, including straight text similarity, following wikilinks, and matching your editing patterns against those of other Wikipedians. It tries to recommend only articles that other Wikipedians have marked as needing work. Your contributions make Wikipedia better -- thanks for helping.
If you have feedback on how to make SuggestBot better, please tell me on SuggestBot's talk page. Thanks from ForteTuba, SuggestBot's caretaker.
P.S. You received these suggestions because your name was listed on the SuggestBot request page. If this was in error, sorry about the confusion. -- SuggestBot 17:12, 12 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Blue Bus
Thanks for adding an operator to the article I created. I plan to create Blue Bus of Bolton soon! Arriva436 22:00, 13 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] The SCTSC issue
It is such a small matter, yet it looms so large. I cannot message the other editor with any degree of certainty because he is IP based. However this message also applies to him. I have placed a request for help at the Village Pump. This is a place were anyone may discuss anything. If we can't reach consensus then I think the only route is mediation.

[edit] Werdnabot
I got caught out by that myself. It really should say more clearly that it is only for user talk pages and similar, not for articles. Apparently it confuses some editors when used on an article. I used it elsewhere and was corrected. Ah well, that's how we all learn. Fiddle Faddle 22:15, 13 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Orphaned fair use image (Image:89 RCAirCS Flag Party.jpg)
Thanks for uploading Image:89 RCAirCS Flag Party.jpg. I notice the 'image' page currently specifies that the image is unlicensed for use on Wikipedia and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable under fair use (see our fair use policy).
If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any fair use images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. MECU≈talk 20:37, 1 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Frances Kelsey Secondary School
Hi,
In the future, before you create an article, I would recomend that you read over the Manual of Style. The article on this particular school breaks several MOS rules that need immediate addressing. I will try to fix up as much as I can, and I understand how difficult it can be to start an article from scratch. I would also recommend that in future you create a sandbox (In your case simply start a new page at User:Quadra/Sandbox) to experiment with article style before putting the content into article space, which has much more strigent quality controls. Just a friendly reminder. Thanks, Green451 18:14, 5 January 2007 (UTC)

While working on enhancing articles, this tool can be very helpful, especially when aiming for a "status" on an article. Fiddle Faddle 22:38, 9 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Fair use image ise
Fair use tagged images are copyrighted and not permitted to be used outside of the main article namespace, per Wikipedia:Fair use criteria item #9. This precludes their use on templates. Thus, the inclusion of Image:Sea Cadet Emblem res72.png on {{Cadets Canada}} is not permitted. Please do not place this image, or any other fair use image, on templates or any other non-main namespace article. If you have questions about this, I'd be happy to answer. Thanks, --Durin 19:54, 12 January 2007 (UTC)
- Please stop adding the fair use images to that template. This constitutes vandalism as you are aware of the policy on this issue. If you insist on violating this policy, you will be temporarily blocked from editing. I'd be happy to help you understand this policy and how to adhere to it, but simply re-inserting these images in violation of policy is not the way to go about doing this. --Durin 20:46, 12 January 2007 (UTC)
- Re: [1]: {{Military-Insignia}} is inappropriate for these images because they are not images of a military rank, such as Petty Officer for example. The {{symbol}} tag is appropriate. Note that it says "This is a representation of a government, military, regimental, family, or other symbol". Plus, these images are found at http://www.cadets.forces.gc.ca/support/pa-ap/2_e.asp which has a supporting copyright notice at http://www.forces.gc.ca/site/notices_e.asp. --Durin 20:50, 12 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Re-formatted cadet pages
Hi Quadra,
You mentioned you would be putting together some trial cadet pages with a standard formatting. How is that going? Is there anything to see yet?
Cheers, Sancho McCann 08:11, 31 January 2007 (UTC)
- Not going at all, so far; work has got in the way - haven't forgotten, though. Quadra 23:46, 31 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Royal Canadian Army Cadet rank images
I was trying to crop of the text at the bottom the image for the rank of Private, and once I had the completed image, I uploaded it and a strange thing happened. The image was a squashed version of the old image, with the text still at the bottom. Also, the copyright information contradicts itself, saying that it is a rank insignia and cannot be copyrighted, and then it has a copyrighted template. --Jordan Elder talk 18:37, 2 March 2007 (UTC)
