[edit] Notes

Hi Qyd, I am trying to make sure the access dates for the footnotes on the Winnipeg article are current. I am finding that some come from the same source. How do you get them so that they are listed a,b,c,d like the Statscan note if that's the case. If you have time, could you take a look? Thanks. jdobbin 14:41, 2 February 2007 (UTC)

Hmm, I've tried a couple of times to follow your instructions on the National Defence footnotes. I don't know what I'm doing wrong. Do you think you can look at it? Once I see it for myself I should be able to fix other notes on this and the Manitoba page. Thanks! jdobbin 00:31, 9 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Orphaned fair use image (Image:Lethbridge-coat.PNG)

Thanks for uploading Image:Lethbridge-coat.PNG. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free 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.

[edit] Too many images at Havana

Hello Qyd, you had deleted all links that I posted yesterday, and I ask you now: if there are too many images (therefore page increments it weigh), why you don't select the best images about Havana and related to publish it on Havana's main page? Thanks for you interest... ZorphDark.

Ok, your answer was gratify, but I insist in review once in a while the new uploaded photos to select the best that make the article more comprehensible. Thanks again... & be 1n touch... ZorphDark.
PD: Also, keep in mind that one image had more value than a lot of words. A picture reveals contents that we can't appreciate by read. But obviously, we should abridge bytes as more as possible. ZorphDark.

[edit] Recent reversions

Hi, Qyd.

I noticed that your recent "reversion" on the Havana article changed more than just a reversion - how did you do you reversion ? Manually ? Not by formally reveryting or using the undo function ?

[edit] Auyuittuq National Park

I got a bit confused after this. It turned out there was Category:Parks in Nunavut (and Category:National parks of Nunavut is a sub-category of that) and the now deleted Category:Parks of Nunavut. CambridgeBayWeather (Talk) 23:14, 12 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Pearson Airport

Hello Qyd!

I was just looking up Pearson Airport page here and I couldn't help noticing you've got some nice shots of the terminals... I'm building a Pearson Scenery for a flight simulator called X-Plane and I need some pictures of the buildings so I was wondering if you have some there that you could share and allow me to use, the photos will be basically used for modelling the 3d buildings and to create the textures so only pictures from the exterior would be useful and especially ones taken from the aircraft ramps(showing the facades that face the airplanes rather than the ones that face the parking lots side), if you cannot share I'll understand! ;) You can find me at this e-mail

Regards,

José Moura

Sorry, I uploaded all I had. --Qyd 14:36, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Caibarién

The stuff you're translating is a copyvio of this page, so I'm going to delete the Spanish material and revert it back to the stub it was before the Spanish material was added. -Yupik 22:37, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Great work

Great work on the project stuff Qyd. I Like the template. Ooh, and by the way, I've put one of your photos on the Portal selected pics list! Hope you don't mind.-- Zleitzen(talk) 00:06, 26 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Reversion to Bowen Island Article

I think we both attempted to revert the same vandalism to this article. I am not sure it came out right. I thought before I try to fix anything, I would let you know in case you are in the middle of doing the same thing --KenWalker | Talk 03:50, 26 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Subdivisions of [Canadian province/territory] templates

Hi Qyd,
Just to thank you for continuing to correct my forgetting to update the name parameter in these templates. I'll try to remember to do it myself!  Best wishes, David Kernow (talk) 13:06, 28 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] National Parks Map

Hi Qyd,

RE: Canadian National Parks Location.png

This is a great looking map. I made some comments on it in the Discussion page of the Image. Take a look and let me know what you think. Yoho2001 11:17, 1 March 2007 (UTC)

Thought I'd pop in to see if you've had a chance to reply, here or at the image discussion page. Thanks for adding the Categories box at Pingo National Landmark.  :) Yoho2001 12:27, 6 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Q

WHY did you take out what I put? I'll be putting it back on so DONT take it out.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by TelusFielder (talk • contribs) 17:19, March 2, 2007.

replied on your talk page.--Qyd 17:14, 3 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] coordinates

Thanks Qyd for revising the coordinates on the Millenium Park article. Can you tell me where I can find the docs regarding the coordinates syntax. Monsieur david 19:42, 5 March 2007 (UTC)

There's a comprehensive list at Wikipedia:WikiProject Geographical coordinates, and a usage sections which lists all related templates at Template:Coor/doc. --Qyd 20:34, 5 March 2007 (UTC)

thanks Monsieur david 04:32, 6 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Template:Types of road

Hi. I can appreciate the reasoning for you removing the whitespace from the top of the navibox, as it could appear 'inconsistent' when used with other Naviboxes. However, without the whitespace, the navibox 'collides' with whatever text is immediately before it, which I think looks dreadful. Adding a blank line (all I was trying to do – NB, this technique has been seen and used on other naviboxes) provides just enough breathing space to avoid the text being dominated by the navibox.

There must be a way of avoiding this problem without introducing new ones. Any ideas?

EdJogg 15:31, 6 March 2007 (UTC)

Take Macadam as an example. The last paragraph now 'includes' the navibox, as there's no visible separation between the two (aside from the leading below the last line of paragraph text).
In Tarmac, the navibox again 'touches' the final text, yet there is space allowed before the 'See also' heading – consistency would demand space before the navibox also.
You are right that {{Navigation}} includes 'style="clear:both;"', which should allow for some leading space. However, {{Types of road}} is based on {{Navbox generic}}, which is a table, and does not include a 'clear' of any kind. The sample usage shows three such boxes butted-together, and I can't imagine why one might want to display that way.
Adding a blank line to the article is an easy compromise, but risky, as there are many editors and bots who will remove 'stray' blank lines on sight!

[edit] Image:Canada-Drainage.png

Just a comment: The part of your drainage diagram, Image:Canada-Drainage.png, that drains into the Gulf of Mexico seems a bit small and only seems to indicate the Milk River drainage and not the Old Wives Lake, Big Muddy Creek, and Poplar River drainages (I'm referencing the Saskatchewan Water Authority map at http://www.swa.ca/Maps/ ). (Although, being a native Saskatchewanian, I always thought Old Wives Lake was a self-contained basin which didn't actually drain anywhere...just loss by surface evaporation & irrigation, but I'm assuming the SWA knows better than I do) Thomas Dzubin Talk 16:07, 6 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Photos

Qyd Per your photo requests, I do have several Stephen Ave photos and I would be happy to share. However, they are not better than the copyrighted shots. I will take a crack at beating the Chamber of Commerce shots and will post if successful. I do have some first class Calgary skyline wide angles and panoramas which I think are as good as or better than the Copyrighted Chamber shot there now. I have been hesitant to replace it since the Chamber shot is decent and it seemed so self aggrandizing. Is the Chamber copyright offensive? What would you advise? Cszmurlo 17:49, 11 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] World Heritage template

Hi again. Someone proposed that the World Heritage template be merged with the protected area template. In any case, a user is complaining about the lack of use of the World Heritage template. See this article for reference. Joey80 12:57, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] {{NB Expressways}} and other templates

Sure i can!

It's an error in the javascript encoding, but it's neutralised by placing "<br clear=all>" right before the templates, either in the articles, or directly above the template information in the template itself. RingtailedFox • Talk • Stalk 21:19, 30 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] what da problem?

I just wrote a addition to the Port Coquitlam article, you promptly came along and reverted for no apparent reason I can thin of. 1) it was sourced 2) it is relevant 3) it was accurate I'm putting it back man..lates...TotallyTempo 00:53, 6 April 2007 (UTC)
