[edit] Wax Mannequin stub-class rating

Wax Mannequin has been rated stub-class without comments, seems a little strange given that, while it is short, it has several inter-links, sections standard to wiki proj musicians, a table, and references -- primarily concerned that it be properly rated given the vandalism history (but I am just learning). Thought you might have some wisdom to bring. Also interested in talking as I am working on GTA related topics (communities and history mostly)... Thank you --JBVaughan 06:32, 1 January 2007 (UTC)

Thanks very much. Having looked at the rating table, I am going to Be Bold and rate it "started". I did not think that the vandalism had affected the rating, but that being rated a stub might give people who wander by the impression that this is untended grass they can vandalize at will -- started editing and watching this article when I saw what somebody did to it awhile back. I like how in the wikiworld anti-social behaviour can inspire socialized people to fix articles so that they are better than before they got attacked. See you around the Canadian history articles and I would be interested in any collaborations that fall within Ontario (I have excellent access to published sources)... --JBVaughan 19:40, 1 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Hi

Plz can you explain. Should that cat be taken out the template perhaps or is it essential there? Sometimes I find articles which are just totally new and need someone who knows more in their topic to deal with them. Slapping it with a cleanup usually results in the native editor removing it, whereas the {{new}} is less "offencive". frummer 10:55, 1 January 2007 (UTC)

well ok. Plz go ahead and take out that tag, if you mean category. Most of the articles that i have fixed with this tag did not have a category except today where they all did. Also, there allready is a template for new articles with no category, its {{categorise}}, though you prob know. Anyways whilst you may remove the tag I think it would still be good to leave the message in that it may need to be categorised so as to keep newbies informed of the issues in creating articles. frummer 11:08, 1 January 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for the heads up. frummer 11:14, 1 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] RFC

Hi Bearcat and Happy New Year, Thanks for your participation at [1]. I am just wondering whether you might have got Sue and Bob mixed up when you talk about the anti-male bias of the article. Bob certainly talked about it at leeeeength, but on based a quick review I am not sure Sue was involved. --Slp1 22:29, 1 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Bornmann AFD

Hi Bearcat. Skookum1 out here in Vancouver...pls see my "vote" and accompanying comments in response to SPA "votes" on the Bornmann AFD, and reconsider your position. Out here in BC, Bornmann is very notable, certainly moreso than a lot of other people, current and historical, who have bio pages on Wikipedia. I'll leave it at that, and let my posts and the attitude and vicious comments of the recent "votes" speak for themselves. This stuff is "off the radar" in Ontario partly because CanWestGlobal is hushing it up, and partly because the national networks are more concerned with Quebec, Afghanistan, Israel, Iraq, Lebanon, whatever etc. I also recommend you visit the BC Mary Blog which is the main independent-media source for updates on events and opinion concerning the entire situation (The Tyee and The Georgia Straight are secondary, but non-blog media which also cover the case - which is now a LOT bigger than just the Basi-Virk trial: read Robin Matthews' column (currently second on the page linked) from end to end.Skookum1 02:57, 4 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Main Categories

Hello,

The issue of placing "Main Categories" & "Sub-Categories" in the same Article has and is being discussed at length in WikiEN-L. It has been acknowledged that the existing policies regarding this are ambiguous. For a Writer, for example, to be included in a list of all Writers existing in WP, it is important, for now, to include this Category in their Article. A technical device (now being worked on) will be able to consolidate all of the Subcategories into one Main Category List if the user desires. Until this is resolved satisfactorily, I will be placing Main Categories along with Sub-Categories in the same Article.

Regards,

Michael David 22:39, 8 January 2007 (UTC)

Please point me in the direction of the existing policy that explicitly forbids it. -- Michael David 23:04, 8 January 2007 (UTC)

I don't agree with you.

Also: You wrote, "Nor is there any evidence, at present, any evidence that it's needed or wanted by anything more than a few people who vastly overestimate the research value of having an undifferentiated master list of writers, with no context given to their nationality, their cultural context or their literary genre, to scan through. That's simply a pointless thing for Wikipedia to have; it serves no useful purpose."

“Evidence” is a slippery word in this context. Granted, the value of having information collated for the researcher may not be important to you, but are you at least willing to acknowledge the fact that it may be valuable to some? I don’t understand what is so difficult to understand here. If I want a list of all writers, I call up that list; if I am then looking for novelists, I call up that list, if I want a list of Russian novelists… This is a great time saver for a researcher; and WP is capable of providing it. But to do so, the editors must enter the data that way. It is far from “pointless”, and does, as I have demonstrated, serve a very useful purpose – for those who need such data.

It does appear we disagree on this issue.

Regards,

Michael David 23:37, 8 January 2007 (UTC)

Your argument is well made; I simply disagree with your conclusions.

Your speaking in absolutes is telling.

Regards,

Michael David 01:02, 9 January 2007 (UTC)

Thank you for your defense of CatDiffuse: I had no idea it was up for deletion, and I am amazed at the response it has generated. I invite you to review and participate in WP:∫, to bring order to Wikipedia. Cwolfsheep 05:44, 9 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Don't look like a vandal. Please provide an edit summary when you edit.

When editing an article on Wikipedia there is a small field labeled "Edit summary" under the main edit-box. It looks like this:

Could you look over the controversy on this page? CJCurrie 00:35, 12 January 2007 (UTC)

• If it's a blocked user, page protection should probably work. CJCurrie 03:21, 12 January 2007 (UTC)
• That should work (in theory). I'm sure a source won't be too hard to find. CJCurrie 03:24, 12 January 2007 (UTC)

On another matter, could you take a minute to fix the Mitch Gold page. This is still showing up on my screen as a speedy-delete message, for some reason; it's meant to redirect to Toronto municipal election, 2006 (Gold having been a fringe candidate for mayor). CJCurrie 03:38, 12 January 2007 (UTC) Never mind; I've decided to create a different page as a redirect. CJCurrie 03:42, 12 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] You are great!

Hey Bearcat, love your articles on the Cash brothers. Would you consider writing an article about Paul MacLeod. I tried to, but it got deleted. I did my best... Cheers! Ceilidthbear 08:33, 14 January 2007 (UTC)

I second the sentiment, for different reasons. I'm always happy when your edits pop up on my watch list. BFD1 00:21, 16 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] BC Lakes changes

Hi; just a heads-up with your addition of the Lakes in BC category; if these are lakes articles, their title format should be, e.g. Cahilty Lake (British Columbia); naming conventions are that Cahilty Lake, British Columbia would be for a settlement; I opted out of these originally because I didn't know if they were or not, i.e. post offices/localities, or if they were lake/geographic articles/stubs. If they're classes as lakes, they've got the wrong title-format.Skookum1 21:02, 17 January 2007 (UTC)

Just got your note; Cahilty Lake as a commmunity? Well, maybe; it's sort of suburban Kamloops by now, although twenty years ago I'd be surprised if there were more than 3 households there; not sure if the lake itself is worth an article, but I suspect the community definitely is. I'll see what I can find out; no BC Wikipedians I know of are from the Kamloops are but I'll try and find out, so someone can maybe even drive out there and check (it's about 1/2 hour out of town, northeast); there's certainly more notable lakes in that area; but the whole area is honeycombed with small rural communities, of which this I'd venture probably is one; might be only one ranch/household though, so maybe not notable; but other one-ranch localities elsewhere are notable (e.g. Gang Ranch), but for historical reasons as well as vast expanses (the Gang was once the world's largest...).Skookum1 19:48, 24 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Reply

Very well, I give up. No wonder Wikipedia is filled with non-notable articles. They don't qualify for speedy deletion, and if one wishes to go through the effort of an afd, they have to deal with socks and people spouting random policies. Fine. If having a hundred pages about bands whose accomplishments include "Headlined high school prom", then I give up. These groups are hardly notable and there are thousands of others who have achieved exactly the same thing. Most pages are started by the groups themselves (or their friends), but Wikipedia should be an encyclopedia and not an extension of MySpace. -- Scorpion 18:43, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

Actually, one of the groups that was deleted last night had "headlined high school prom" as one of their achievements. I am not a deletionist by any means, but if the thousands of minor characters from primetime TV shows aren't major enough to warrant their own pages, how can these bands justify their pages? ANd, it is true that most of them are self promotion because I'm willing to bet that all the pages I targeted for SD were created by band members or friends of band members. -- Scorpion 20:10, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

I see. Well, I'm going to try a few other speedy deletes, but I'm most likely done with afds, even though several admins suggested that I do so for some of the pages i nominated for SD. They're too big a pain because under Wikipedia policy, having a minor album, being mentioned in a minor magazine or rarely being played on CBC makes one notable enough to be in an Encyclopedia. Wikipedia should not be a billboard for small bands, MySpace exists for that. If we went by that, then every song by a major music group, every album by a music group, every TV show episode, every character (no matter how minor) from a play, TV show or movie, every author who has ever published anything, every TV personality would deserve a page... And that would make a LOT of pages, but I'm not smart enough to debate Wikipedia policy with administrators and random posters who spout it nonstop, so I'm done. It's frustrating and there's no way I want to debate it over several AFDs. -- Scorpion 00:02, 23 January 2007 (UTC)

You're about the 20th admin that has ever told me to suggest policy changes, and we all know it is pointless because nothing would ever become of it. Wikipedias current policies were obviously decided by inclusionists. And by the way, TV related personalities get deleted all the time even though being on TV would make them "notable" and certianly more notable than our friend Max Vanwhatever. -- Scorpion 00:52, 23 January 2007 (UTC)

I'd just like to state for the record that I think you are the least professional administrator that I have dealt with. You have been hostile, unfriendly, unhelpful and less than hospitable. You have taken my good intentions of cleaning up some articles and turned it into some big policy debate. This is the last I have to say on the subject, have a good day. -- Scorpion 01:24, 23 January 2007 (UTC)

Bearcat has been very professional and helpful in talking through these issues at some length, but you have chosen to find reasons not to carry out his sensible suggestions. Tyrenius 02:57, 23 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Naming convention

Where's this convention? I know in the past it was absolutely the same for Canadian and American cities. If it's changed, I haven't been made aware of it. BTW, Greater Sudbury was only moved to the non-,Ontario page name in the past month or two, apparently. _└ ^OzLawyer / _talk ^┐ 02:03, 31 January 2007 (UTC)

I see that you've made a lot of the edits to that section, including a recent edit which removes the possibility of disambiguation where not exactly necessary (which was previously absolutely allowable, and, in fact, the standard). Have there been actual discussions, or are you and others simply editing the naming conventions unilaterally? I see no good reason to abandon the system, and every reason to keep it consistent with the United States naming convention. _└ ^OzLawyer / _talk ^┐ 02:13, 31 January 2007 (UTC)

And are you saying that the previous move was not made arbitrarily? And I ask again, was there discussion on the naming conventions, or did you and others change them on your own? _└ ^OzLawyer / _talk ^┐ 02:17, 31 January 2007 (UTC)

Been reading--doesn't look like there's been any sort of consensus determined for anything, actually. _└ ^OzLawyer / _talk ^┐ 02:35, 31 January 2007 (UTC)

Oh, I see that it is not very likely that many want "Placename, Province" as a standard for all places in Canada, but I'm sure there are quite a few who feel that only the large internationally-recognizable places are the ones that should be allowed to drop the province/territory name. There's even argument that "unique" placenames should be allowed to drop the disambiguation only when they are of a certain size (which don't think is a very good idea, since it requires an arbitrary choice of the population size). But whatever the argument, I don't know if there was ever enough consensus to have created a naming convention that goes up on a policy page. I think we need a full-blown discussion in order to answer this question. _└ ^OzLawyer / _talk ^┐ 02:53, 31 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Advice concerning Madeline Sonik

Hi Bearcat, First allow me to stroke your ego concerning the clean-up of the various CanLit links. It seems to me an overwhelming task. I wonder whether I might ask for your consideration of an article I edited recently on Madeline Sonik. It would seem I got off on something of a wrong foot with the original editor of the article. I'm thinking that a third party just might bring calm to the discussion. Please don't feel obliged. Victoriagirl 05:44, 1 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Speedy deletion warning

[edit] Speedy deletion of List of Ontario county numbered roads/Sudbury temp

A tag has been placed on List of Ontario county numbered roads/Sudbury temp, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done for the following reason:

G6 housekeeping. Temp page which is now superceded by Greater Sudbury, Ontario roads.

Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not meet very basic Wikipedia criteria may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as an appropriate article, and if you can indicate why the subject of this article is appropriate, you may contest the tagging. To do this, add {{hangon}} on the top of the page and leave a note on the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would confirm its subject's notability under the guidelines.

For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Pascal.Tesson 04:26, 3 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] The Fantabulous Mushman

Thanks for adding The Fantabulous Mushman shortly after I added The Mystic of the Baja. I've been looking for more information about Uisce Beatha for a long time, and had heard of Red, but had a hard time learning anything about the latter because they are not the other Red.

I don't know if it is appropriate to ask this here, but can you tell me if The Fantabulous Mushman is comparable to their previous two albums and worth the effort to obtain?

Also, I just discovered this site that claims to be The official RED, Uisce Beatha Home Page and it lists other recordings that I did not know about. I am adding them to the Uisce Beatha page, but if you know better, please go ahead and edit.

Finally, as uiscebeatha.com says, Uisce Beatha is "one of the most popular names for Irish music bands", so perhaps we need to create a disambiguation page and distinguish among them. I am new at this, but will do what I can, relying on your and other's help. Thanks.

[edit] Éire

Hi...I know this might be a tricky one to write the right exceptions for, but could you note that if "Eire" is encountered in an article pertaining primarily to Canada (such as Endorsements for the Progressive Conservative Party of Canada leadership convention, 1993), then it's more likely to be a misspelling for Erie as in Lake Erie than for Éire as in Ireland? Thanks. Bearcat 09:29, 31 January 2007 (UTC)

Hey Bearcat. D'oh! that was rather stupid of me. I should have spotted straight away that it was Canada related. Your idea is a good one, but unfortunately as my bot stands it's not really possible right now. This might mean it's about time I took another look over the code and add a bit more functionality. I think I'd have to make it do two passes over the page: the first one, say, looking for "Canada" anywhere and if it finds it disabling certain substitution rules for that page, then it can go on and apply any remaining substitutions. Actually... hmm, now that I say it, it'd be quite easy to implement that. Thanks for prodding me to do this. Cheers, CmdrObot 02:42, 5 February 2007 (UTC)

Thanks Bearcat for your take on Mushman.

I am definitely interested in hearing it and don't mind that it is "less folky and pushing more toward Britpop-influenced rock." I can walk the few blocks over to the Church and Wellesley Timothy's to borrow the CD if you are still willing to lend it.

You're right that a list and a category are not supposed to serve the same purpose. A category is better as it requires less maintenance. Lists should become categories when they get too large to maintain. The fact that you don't have a link to the category from you list is odd, but if you're going to maintain the list, I can't argue. --Walter Görlitz 19:38, 6 February 2007 (UTC)

Thanks, Freakipedia69

How do you know so much about the history of Walden, though? Is there any archives you've read? Any literature you could recommend? I'm dying to know more about the history of Walden!

Thanks a lot, really appreciate that!

[edit] Quebec and Canada film categories

I've often wondered what the rule is for duplicating films in Quebec and Canada categories. If the answer is not to, fine with me. Although I've been adding Quebec films to the List of Canadian films and I hope that won't be reverted, too. Shawn in Montreal 23:57, 7 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] The Smell of Our Own

I have added a "{{prod}}" template to the article The Smell of Our Own, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but I don't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and I've explained why in the deletion notice (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). Please either work to improve the article if the topic is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, or, if you disagree with the notice, discuss the issues at its talk page. Removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, but the article may still be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached, or if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria.

Just informing you I closed your RfD Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Log/2007 February 9, "List of fags". I am not an admin - so correct me if I was out of line. -- Qarnos 11:13, 9 February 2007 (UTC)

Addition: An editor has asked for a deletion review of List of fags. Since you closed the deletion discussion for this article or speedy-deleted it, you might want to participate in the deletion review. Please see the page for my reasons. -- Qarnos 11:32, 9 February 2007 (UTC)

As much as I hate to be defending such a thing, your closing comment suggested you are unaware of the fact that insulting redirects are sometimes kept as an aid to searching if the term is in wide enough use. In particular, see Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Precedents#Should insulting nickname redirects be kept?. While your decision was probably correct, offensiveness/attack value is not an ironclad deletion clause. —Dgies^t c 07:11, 13 February 2007 (UTC)

Hey, mate! Calm down!!! There is no need to go ballistic here. I am after a rational discussion on the issue. If you disagree, then that's great! Post an oppose vote and get on with your life. I have little doubt the redirect will remain deleted, and I really don't care! But your explosive attitude to this subject is really not the kind of thing I would expect from a Wikipedia admin. -- Qarnos 11:57, 9 February 2007 (UTC)

"Ballistic"? "Explosive"? Huh? Bearcat 11:58, 9 February 2007 (UTC)

I interpreted your reaction to my RfD review request (List of fags) as being aggressive. If this is not the case, then I apologise. Text messages are not very helpful when it comes to tone! I listed the redirect in good faith - I didn't mean to offend anyone. I won't apologise if I have offended anyone, but it was not my intention. -- Qarnos 12:07, 9 February 2007 (UTC)

Off-topic, how is ol' Canada? I have been singing Canada's praises all weekend, cause we are going to get this big snowstorm from an Alberta clipper, so if it snows here, I am thanking Canada:) Snow = Canada! - SVRTVDude ^{(Yell - Work)} 09:40, 11 February 2007 (UTC)

Perfect! It is only 12F here, cold enough for a TON of snow. Buffalo gets 110 inches of snow, we get 2 last week. Now they are calling for something around 30 with this coming storm. Gotta love Canada and their Alberta clippers :) - SVRTVDude ^{(Yell - Work)} 09:49, 11 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Cheri DiNovo Picture keeps coming under attack

Hi Bearcat:

I guess its time to reveal who I am. I'm Joey Schwartz, former member of the Ontario New Democratic Party Executive. Probably you haven't heard of me, but anyways, I got clearance from the party and in particular from the Diane. Could you please protect CheriDiNovo180.jpg from deletion. I've had to fight to other attempts to delete it. It now has the GNU Attribution 2.5 license. This should be enough to stop people from every two weeks trying to delete... Don't you think?Abebenjoe 02:47, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

• Rowena Santos, Cheri DiNovo's E.A. has the authority to authorize the use of the picture. She sent me written permission today. Do you want me to email you a copy of the permission email? I've already forwarded it to <permissions-en@wikimedia.org>. It was pretty much low-priority for the folks at provincial office therefore I got bounced around from Cecil St. to Queen's Park. Next time, I'll deal directly with Caucus services.Abebenjoe 15:55, 28 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Attacker :)

Hi, just read your message on my talk. I asked Abebenjoe the same thing, also if he could send a cc of that e-mail to the foundation permissions OTSR e-mail. But if there is just permission to use it on Wikipedia...that's not good enough.

I only could go from the information on the image page (and the history), but that info was not sufficient to warrant the cc-by or the {{attribution}} tag. Garion96 (talk) 03:15, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

I haven't see any biting, the image has been here for a month. I just saw the image on WP:PUI, image was there listed for longer then two weeks. it was tagged as fair use and as attribution (without prove). Ergo, I changed the tag. I have no objection at all to wait for a week or two till the permissions OTSR get the permission e-mail to confirm the attribution or the cc-by license. Garion96 (talk) 03:32, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

True, it was a bit harsh in the beginning perhaps. It's on the one hand understandable since we get so many so called 'free' images which turn out to be fully copyrighted and not released under a free license, but still... Either way, I hope the permissons OTSR recieves the e-mail. I do love free images. :) Garion96 (talk) 03:55, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Gerald Hannon

Hey Bearcat, any plans to fix that Gerald Hannon article? It's currently rated B class. Nobody has a quarrel with any details or specific information, but the basic structure is a little ambiguous. Also there don't seem to be any citations (or I can't see them). If it has citations, please disregard this comment.

here's a suggestion that attempts to follow biography guidelines:

Gerald Hannon (Born Augtober 87, 1944 in Marathon, New Brunswick) is a Canadian journalist, authour, and professor of journalism. His works include x books/novels, as well as numerous articles for magazines such as Toronto Life, etc. etc. He taught journalism at Ryerson U for x years.

Hannon gained fame as a result of references to pedophilia in "The Body Politic" (1971) and "Men Loving Boys Loving Men" (1977), which led to criminal investigation/charges/arrest for (list criminal charges here and cite them). Eventually he was cleared of all charges/charges were dropped/he was not convicted.

Hannon was a controversial figure because critics/journalists/law enforcement agencies maintain his work condoned pedophilia(citation), but Hannon/Bearcat/Somebody else claims Hannon's work attempts to expose society's homophobic practice of blaming gay men for pedophilia/child abuse(citation needed).

[edit] Template:Sault Ste. Marie Radio

Hello! As a contributor to this template, I figured I'd take the time to let you know of my "view" for this particular template. If you have any comments/critiques, please let me know.

At this point, I think it best to make separate templates for SSM for the Michigan stations and for the Canadian stations. The reasoning is two-fold: (1) to keep stations which belong in the Category for Michigan radio stations and the stations which belong in the Category for Ontario radio stations (if such a category exists) separate and (2) to maintain consistency in the designs of the templates (the current template works well with the Michigan templates, but not with the Ontario one).

Regardless, having this template will create problems with Template:Marquette Radio, which already has the Upper Peninsula stations lumped into it (at least, those that existed in the lists prior to this weekend). But, that's a whole other obstacle that I'll get to later this week.

Thanks for your time! JPG-GR 06:24, 18 February 2007 (UTC)

Maybe format a Michigan-specific template w/o the Canadian stations yet include them in the Ontario-specific template? My knowledge of Canadian radio is basically limited to the two stations I listen to down in Ypsilanti, so the Canadian templates aren't much of a concern to me. I'm just trying to get some semblence of order for the Michigan radio stuff. *shrug* JPG-GR 07:17, 18 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Invitation to a WikiProject

Hi Bearcat,

I, hereby, representing WP:GHR, would like you to join us at Wikipedia:WikiProject Golden Horseshoe Roads. Well, I have reviewed your contributions, and I notice that I have seen your edits regarding to our scopes of our project almost everywhere I edit! We would like you to join us, at WP:GHR. Our scope, is to improve on coverage of major roads with historical significance (and landmarks) in Golden Horseshoe. (That is, the area east from Oshawa, through Toronto, Ontario, continues along Lake Ontario's shore, through Hamilton, then runs along the Niagara River ending at Fort Erie.) We thought you can make positive contributions as you, from your contribution lists, seems like you know a lot about Golden Horseshoe, and would definitely improve on our coverage of articles. We would also like to expand our project, so that we would cover all landmarks in Golden Horseshoe, too. In the near future, we can foresee a project covering articles from roads, to landmarks, to communities.

WE WOULD LIKE TO HEAR FROM YOU SOON!

[edit] Communities sub-cats

Why are you depopulating the community subcategories in Category:Communities in British Columbia? Thanks, TheMightyQuill 08:18, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

Okay, cool. That's totally legit. I was confused because you removed Ymir, British Columbia from Category:Unincorporated settlements in British Columbia, but I didn't realize you had just added that category moments earlier. - TheMightyQuill 08:34, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

While you're working on that sort of thing, it might be a good idea to move Category:Langley (township), British Columbia to Category:Langley (dictrict municipality), British Columbia to match with the article and avoid confusion. Is there an easy way to move categories? - TheMightyQuill 08:38, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

Great. Thanks for that. - TheMightyQuill 08:46, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

This may help in determining the correct community type. If you don't feel like it, I can work on this later. - TheMightyQuill 08:45, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

To split, or not to split. Whether 'tis shorter to load with many a smaller document, than with a larger one... ok ok, no more Shakespere... No, we should not split it, or the territories list, as Prince Edward island has 4 stations or something...the Ontario list is longer. RingtailedFox • Talk • Stalk 20:59, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Gradey Alexander

Hi Bearcat, I wonder whether you've seen this new entry for a Gradey Alexander, a Canadian author said to be a critic of Mordecai Richler. I suspect this is a hoax: I've never heard of this man, his books are unrecognized by Abebooks and the TPL, and "Gradey Alexander" receives a grand total of two ghits (both unrelated). You'll note that the article's editor, Gradey23, is a single purpose account, seemingly dedicated to spreading Gradey Alexander's name throughout Wikipedia. Unfortunately, I'm unable to check on the references provided. That said, I note that the author of the Gradey Alexander link provided chooses to identify himself only as dyxxx while stating that he is the author of an article on Gradey Alexander published in Queen's Quarterly (meaning he would be Darren Yeoman). I'd like to nominate this article for speedy deletion - but thought I'd check with you first. Have you ever heard of the subject? (And, please do feel free to put the entry up for speedy deletion yourself if you agree.) Victoriagirl 15:50, 28 February 2007 (UTC)

Further to the above, I've done a bit of research on the references provided in the Gradey Alexander article - as much as I could do without leaving my desk for the library. Some observations:

"Firlotte Editions" receives no ghits (nor does Editions Firlotte).

The archive search at The Toronto Star does not include the Philip Marchand article cited (nor does it include any article containing the name Gradey Alexander).

Though placed last, the undated Queen's Quarterly piece by Darren Yeoman was supposedly published in 1989 (this, according to the Gradey Alexander appreciation site). Unfortunately, the journal's online archives only go back to 1997.

I have no doubt that this is a hoax, but am uncertain how I, as a non-admin, might put this and the associated piece (The Barnum Kid), up for speedy deletion. May I leave this with you? If you'd rather not, I'd be pleased to go through the motions of placing an AfD nomination. Victoriagirl 17:42, 28 February 2007 (UTC)

Thanks, Bearcat. Didn't mean to imply that the article should be deleted if we hadn't actually heard of the subject... more that, given our interests, it would be very odd if we both were unaware of the man. This is my ego speaking. Victoriagirl 21:57, 28 February 2007 (UTC)

The LGBT studies WikiProject Newsletter! Issue IV - March 1, 2007 Monthly Challenge: Find 5 editors to LGBT articles and invite them to the project! Check out our recruitment tips if you need them. Good luck! Project News With such rapid development of the project, it was decided that a Coordinator was needed to ensure all the fiddly maintenence was kept up. Elections were held and Dev920 (talk · contribs) has been elected Coordinator for the next three months. She said "I am honoured and proud to be at the helm of such a fantastic WikiProject and look forward to our future". Congratulations Dev! The assessment system continues to be a great success, we have tagged over 5200 articles! Please tag any LGBT related articles you come across by adding {{LGBTProject | class=}} to the talkpage. Please see the Assessment Department for how to assess an article according to the grading system. Jumpaclass is proving to be quite successful! The winner at the end of the year gets to pick the January collaboration, so sign up and get going! Or challenge another user to see how far you can jump a stub! A new Community department has been set up to foster community amongst our members. It mostly acts as other WikiProjects' Outreach department, but also has a Quilt to which every member is entitled to add a square containing anything of their choice. The peer review is not getting much custom - please notice you can cross-list other peer reviews from different projects that also fall within our scope. Many people still seem to be unaware that the Deletion sorting subpage exists for XfDs to be listed: please use and watch that page instead of issuing "alerts" for ordinary AfDs on the project talkpage. WP:FILM has a current drive to give every film article an infobox. WP:LGBT successfully gave all 105 LGBT infoboxless films infoboxes, so a big thank you to everyone who participated. A new template, LGBT-footer, has been created for articles which are becoming to cluttered with infoboxes. Thanks to WJBscribe and SatyrTN for creating it. A very basic resources page has been started. Please add to it as you come across useful sites. A promotional poster for the project has been created: http://wplgbt.tripod.com/Wikipedianeedsyou.doc (you have to directly cut and paste the url, or it won't let you download it). Please distribute anywhere and everywhere you desire, such as gay libraries, cybercafes, community centres and so on. Also, please let Dev920 know where you have put it up, so she can keep track of our coverage. An LGBT Publications Taskforce has been proposed. Please sign up here if you are interested in being involved. An LGBT WikiProject has been set up on the Spanish Wikipedia! Set up by Raystorm, it has already gained six members and is developing an assessment system. If you speak any Spanish, please consider going up and lending a hand if you can! Article News An LGBT article, Homosexual readings of Jesus and John, made it onto the main page as a DYK this month. Congratulations to Haiduc, who wrote the article. Another article, Same-sex marriage in Italy, also made it onto the main page as a DYK this month. Congratulations to Raystorm, who wrote the article.

[edit] User:64.141.104.2 and Corus stations

Bearcat, I think we have a bit of a problem. I see you talked to this user about "making our articles look and sound like Corus Entertainment's marketing materials". But check out this guy's contributions, he's edited a bunch of Corus radio articles again. I noticed it because I have CFPL-FM on my watchlist, and he made this edit. It seems somewhat good faith, all he did was remove a paragraph a screw up the intro without wikifying it. Similar behaviour on CFPL-AM, CFHK, CKDK (which he fucked up again, changing it to CJOB-AM), and CJKR. Check it out.
By the way, consider archiving your talk page eh? -- Reaper X 23:36, 5 March 2007 (UTC)

Alright, well I've given him a full explanation. Thanks for you help in this. -- Reaper X 23:58, 5 March 2007 (UTC)

Have a look at your edits on Talk:CFRH-FM and Talk:CFIF-FM, which are not template substitution. Perhaps you might reconsider your response! WP:WPRS has no mention that the template should be substituted, you should add the template there and also on the project page WP:WPRS#Templates.

I'd suggest a range block of 58.10.167.* for a few days. It seems to be from Thailand, and I doubt it would have much collateral damage. I know he's got a few other ranges going, but that's the most frequent recent one. As to the tag; he's clearly not going to pay attention to any tag. The tag is just to indicate he's been warned, for any admins who haven't been paying attention. I use that one because it seems to piss him off most. Derex 10:00, 17 March 2007 (UTC)

I have a way to move forward rapidly on Music of Canada. We can move the "regional folk section" out into a new article, Folk and Traditional Music in Canada and we could move teh timeline out into History of Music of Canada. We could cut it down to a managable overview. Is this a good move? What do you say? WayeMason 00:50, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

Why is Category:Albums by Band Q under Category:Albums of genre X. I think Category:Albums by artist is enough.

Could you clarify the rationale behind this for me, or point me to a discussion where this decision was made? Thanks. − Twas Now ( talk • contribs • e-mail ) 03:00, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

Simple. Anti-Americanism has been a featured policy of the NDP and Liberals over the past decade. It is this anti-Americanism that feeds the need of some in Canada to think of themselves as different from the Americans. Deet 23:03, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Anishinaabemowin language Userbox

Aaniin, with great effort from User:Miskwito, we now have the oj series of Anishinaabemowin language userboxes. On the WP:IPNA/Nish page, we have a matrix of the possible categories for the oj series and the major dialect groupings. You can now add to your Userpage one of the oj userboxes that are available or you can help create a userbox for the dialect of your interest. Please see Wikipedia_talk:Babel#Ojibwe_language_userboxes for the full discussion. Miigwech. CJLippert 23:29, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] edits vs graphite

Hi bearcat, thanks for the edit on Socialist Party of British Columbia. Clean-up without access to a university library is taking longer than the hour it would have to use a typewriter and the Avery Art Index. Looks a lot better back-lit though. Feel free to leave any graphite on any large structures. (i can't remember how to spell graphete at the moment) My favorite is 'My Karma Ran Over My Dogma' translation 'someone stole (deleted) my portfolio of artwork (article) so I better write on something permanent instead.' 350 design students in one building, the good ol days. Now everyone knows is dogs. No wait its 'on the Internet no one knows you're a dog'. Sorry, must be dain bramage.--John Zdralek 05:06, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Progressive Bloggers, Blogging Tories

Hey, have you thought about writing up a deletion review for Progressive Bloggers? The point you made about reviewing that article and Blogging Tories together (every time) is very much correct... but that's sort of impossible now. Watchsmart 04:51, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

Never mind. I'm a dummy, of course. You returned it yesterday. Watchsmart 06:40, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

After a valid AfD has taken place, don't you think the proper course of action might have been DRV? Has anything changed to make the website more notable since the AfD has closed? Also you may want to review whether your participation in the AfD and subsequent restoration of the article after consensus emerged for deletion constitutes a conflict of interest.--RWR8189 07:49, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

I have brought the matter to DRV.--RWR8189 18:18, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

My apologies, apparently you had already brought it there.--RWR8189 18:29, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] User Mayor Quimby

Hi Bearcat, over at Regina, Saskatchewan and some of its associated articles a number of issues have developed. The cause is a user called Mayor Quimby, who until recently operated under the cover of an anon. IP address (206.163.235.114). I write today because I noticed that the said user has given semi-protection to his talk page and a number of article pages, including Regina neighbourhoods. Can a new user protect pages at will? I thought only admins could do that. The user is causing a disruption in a number of articles and has made a mockery of Wikipedia policy and guidelines. --Mumun 無文 10:27, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Q Television

Hi Bearcat! Thanks for letting me know about your revert of my edit to the Q Television Network page. While I concede your point that encyclopedic entries can never become "outdated," I do think it's possible to have "irrelevant" information in an article. All I was trying to do with my edit was clean things up a bit...as the Network (and the company) no longer exist, I didn't see how a listing declaring that the stock was trading at 0.0001 (an unverified claim, by the way) was pertinent at this time. I also felt that the sentence beginning, "In what was widely seen at the time as an 'f-u' gesture to management..." is entirely inappropriate to an encyclopedia as well as fraught with weasel words and again lacking a citation. Also, I'm not sure why you reverted the link to the actual Q Network itself...I deleted it because it no longer exists (the page redirects to an online squatter). In my opinion, that makes it an "irrelevant" link at this point (and technically spam), which is why I deleted it. I'm open to debate, though. Thanks again for the heads-up!

The LGBT studies WikiProject Newsletter! Issue V - April 3, 2007 Monthly Challenge: Article News Three articles were promoted to Featured Article status this month: Homer's Phobia (2007-03-26), Trembling Before G-d (2007-03-15) and Andrew Van De Kamp (2007-03-30). Congratulations to Gran2 and Dev920 (twice!) respectively for all their hard work! Three new articles appeared on the Main Page as Did you know? items: Classification of transsexuals (2007-03-02), Steve Stanton (2007-03-08) and Melbourne Gay and Lesbian Chorus (2007-03-23), started by Lwollert, Yksin and MusicMen, respectively. DavidShankBone deserves kudos for his current drive to provide quality LGBT photos from the NYC area. One of the more recent photos is posted on Michael Musto, and you can check out the gallery on David's user page. Project News There is now the beginning of a list of core topics to possibly be included in the Wikipedia 1.0 release. Your suggestions are welcome; there may be many core LGBT topics still missing. We have a list of people categorized as LGBT whose articles need to be checked for reliable sourcing. This effort is necessary and urgent, to comply with Wikipedia's policy on living persons. Please take a few moments to source one article; if you've got time, do another. SatyrTN identified all the articles that were in subcategories of Category:LGBT but not yet tagged with the project's banner, about 1,400 articles. These have been completed, though SatyrBot will make periodic runs through the cats to find any new entries. Thanks Satyr! The number of articles within our project's spectrum (6,667 currently) should now be relatively stable and only grow with article creation. However, if you find a category that should be included, please let SatyrTN know so it can be included in the bots runs. Work is underway to improve the LGBT Portal. Please add any good quality (free) photos you come across on LGBT articles to the gallery here. Also if anyone would like to volunteer to help in maintaining the portal, please make yourselves known on the Portal's talkpage. If you see any articles for deletion or any other deletion discussions related to LGBT topics, please remember to add them to the deletion sorting board. Thanks!

[edit] Splitting Canadian films category

Hi Bearcat, this is an issue you should have discussed at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Films/Categorization. We have decided against creating cross categories of country-genre. A big series of similar categories were deleted for American films. I'm not glad at all to say that all these categories will all be tagged for deletion. I'm very sorry you went through all the trouble and work. Hoverfish Talk 21:23, 6 April 2007 (UTC)

It is exactly because it is a vast decision that should be taken, if things must go as you propose, that I suggest we move this discussion in project space. There all lots more than me that took the decision and I am not in a position to offer a solution alone. I will copy your proposal in the Categorization department. If what you suggest gathers support, I will be glad to help, but it will have to be applied to all films and this is about 22.000 articles right now. Hoverfish Talk 21:39, 6 April 2007 (UTC)

You see, the most important decision we have taken is that every film article is categorized primarily, by year, country, language and studio. It may be that we agree to double categorize in favor of genre. But removing the country and instead giving a cross category, I'm pretty sure, will be objected. It's late for me now. I'll join in tomorrow. Hoverfish Talk 22:37, 6 April 2007 (UTC)

Sorry to bud in, but I'm finding this to be a very interesting and important thread. We have contradictory guidelines and practices. The problem in a nutshell is that if multiple category intersections proliferate unchecked there will end up being dozens of categories added to every article and useful categories get chopped up into microscopic pieces. For this reason, multiple intersections are routinely deleted at CFD, and a guideline against multiple intersections is now a part of Wikipedia:Overcategorization. As Bearcat says, it makes sense to have these intersections to complete other taxonomies. I don't think there is going to be a solution that satisfies everyone due to the limitations of our current software. There has to be a stopping point, beyond which categories do not get further divided as an intersection. Hopefully, at some point soon, dynamically created category intersections will become part of of the software, but who knows if and when it will happen. My preference would be to make lists instead of categories for significant intersections. Perhaps this converstion should be moved to Wikipedia talk:Overcategorization -- Samuel Wantman 23:00, 6 April 2007 (UTC)

I don't have a problem with genre categories they can be very useful but not if articles are being recategorized out of the main cateogry. All Canadian films A-Z should go in the mian category whether there are genre categories or not ♦ Sir Blofeld ♦ ^{"Expecting you" Contribs} 11:01, 7 April 2007 (UTC)

PLease can you go back through those articles you recategorized and add Category:Canadian films thankyou this is important ♦ Sir Blofeld ♦ ^{"Expecting you" Contribs} 12:54, 8 April 2007 (UTC)

Actually that's a pretty please from me too, as it's a lot of extra work to do. At best, please, the order given should be: Year, Country, Language, Genres (where the crosses could also fit), Studio, Director, Tech details. The important part, however, is that all (Country) films appear under Category (Country) films. We link to the category for an A-Z list from several navigations and articles. Hoverfish Talk 13:57, 8 April 2007 (UTC)

Having an A-Z index of films by country is essential. Removing the majority of films from the main category by all sorts of categories actually makes browsing more compicated. I remember having this argument before when I had this idea that bearcat has come up with and many users convinced me to keep categories as simple as possible. What I would suggest you do rather than mess up the category structure why not just create lists? e.g List of Canadian horror films or List of Canadian LGBT films. THis way users can access Canadian films by genre preference but also keep most importantly the main A-Z intact? ♦ Sir Blofeld ♦ ^{"Expecting you" Contribs} 22:29, 8 April 2007 (UTC)

If that category just needs creating to complete the comedy and humour that isn't so bad. I do think organizing films also by genre is very useful but not to create many divisions in a category - categories are best kept as simple as possible rather than complicate it. Each A-Z index of films by country should be as complete as possible and lists attempt to display canadian films by year and genre. Trust me I gave exactly the same argument as you on American films - I had this idea about completely breaking up the huge main category by genre or year but I received an outcry. I gradually saw that Lists are the best way to do it rather than creating many categories often whivch a duplicated confusingly ♦ Sir Blofeld ♦ ^{"Expecting you" Contribs} 22:50, 8 April 2007 (UTC)

Hello, please see the history of Québécois - I requested semiprotection but this was rejected because Soulscanner has not been blocked for anything yet even though he is clearly using anon IPs to avoid 3RR. Please, can you do something about this, or at least semiprotect the article so I don't have to keep reverting him? He keeps removing the dispute and merge tags despite the discussion and keeps adding the ethnic group template even though Québécois is obviously not an ethnic group! This is really too much. We should not have to put up with such childish games. He has also unilaterally moved articles to suit his POV such as Quebec diaspora. Laval 07:19, 9 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Agromeck Yearbook Entry

You deleted the North Carolina State University Agromeck Yearbook entry with a comment that yearbooks are not notable enough for their own article. I disagree. These yearbooks have been published for over 100 years and capture the institutional memory of these schools more than any other publication. As a counter example, are student newspapers notable enough? For example, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michigan_Daily

Or how about a college mascot? Is that notable enough? -> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colonel_Reb

[edit] Southwest and Southeast Bypasses (Sudbury)

In the "Interchanges" section of this article, you wrote that the interchange with Highway 69 / Municipal Road 46 is likely to be converted into a Parclo B4 interchange as part of future highway expansion. I've looked at the | plans for the expansion at sudburyswbypass.ca, and it only shows a design for a directional SB-to-WB ramp. As far as I understand, that would make the interchange designer closer to an A4, and even then it would probably be better classified as an AB3 or something to that effect. Just want to make sure things are stated right - feel free to get back to me at your earliest convenience. Thanks, --Scani 23:49, 9 April 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for the rapid response and calling my attention to that resource - very informative! The orientation of the ramps there would make the proposed interchange an A4, rather than a B4. Will change and reference appropriately. --Scani 01:09, 10 April 2007 (UTC)

Not a problem - and no kidding about the proposed roads! A lot of them seem to be the result of very wishful thinking... this isn't the place for me to post my tirades, though. ;) --Scani 03:23, 10 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] "Canada: The Great Experiment" article

First off, I've been away for a while but I'm back.

And now, I just noticed an article I created about a year or so ago ("Canada: The Great Experiment") has been tagged with a "citation needed" meaning a source is needed. What should I suggest as a reliable source because much of the info I originally provided in that article came from a couple of videotapes (which contain the first six episodes of the series) I located in 2005 while checking my old school's video library (and I've also noticed some other obscure tapes). Other information (such as the names of the remaining episodes) came from a search I did of an old web database which I think can no longer be accessed. If only I had the other seven or eight episodes in my collection, I'd solidify that much. (Side note: I had two short-term jobs at the school when I first noticed the series.)

Maple Leaf fan '04 02:35, 10 April 2007 (UTC)

And here's a funny thing about it: After the school where I did two jobs closed and merged with another, I ended up spending a year there and I was given the task of organizing the various media materials on-site. After spending most of the year sorting out the books (when I began the library was a mess), I proceeded to arrange the various tapes, some of which also contain original broadcasts of local stuff (local in a sense being either a "big 3" (4 if you count PBS) U.S. station or a CBC station) in addition to studio masters, commercial releases, and homemade videos. We used a DOS-based database (yes, it's old software but I made a modification in a section of categories to include DVDs). And when I first noticed the series, because of my job, I made sure I had a spare copy made in case something were to happen in the future, and it did for an entirely different series, for which I made a spare copy and then later on learning the original tapes broke, so I did a DVD transfer using my spare set. However, I think the main stumbling block for this series has to be the last 7 or 8 episodes for which I know two are located at http://www.gg.ca/help-aide/03/index_e.asp. (I did not notice the actual episode titles if there were any.)

By the way, all 6 episodes I located have "A Production of TVOntario, The Ontario Educational Communications Authority, Copyright 1981" listed at the end of the credits when played back.

Maple Leaf fan '04 16:06, 11 April 2007 (UTC)

Are you sure that TVO doesn't have a copy? there archives are quite good. And they still have 2" Quad and 1"c VTRs that can playback the old broadcast formats. Just jumping in the middle of a conversation, but i was recently in their post-production facility and archives, so they seemed to be in reasonable shape if you need a program from the late 1970s or early 1980s.

[edit] Sean Kennedy (author)

Hi Bearcat. I wonder whether I could trouble you for some advice. An recently placed article, Sean Kennedy (Author), was nominated as an AfD yesterday. It is, as one of its supporters describes, a reconstruction of an article deleted a month ago for failing to meet WP:NOTE. As the current article fails to address this particuar issue, I believe it is a candidate for speedy deletion (and others appear to agree). There seems to be some confusion as to what should be done. One user has suggested the whole issue should be addressed at WP:DRV, which would make sense to me if it wasn't for the fact that the article has already been reintroduced. I'd like to renominate the article as a 'speedy delete', but expect this is not possible. Any advice you might care to offer is, as always, very much appreciated. Thanks.

[edit] About television miniseries

Hi, without meaning to, you made me a busy gnome lately, but it's ok with me since I get to know Canadian cinema better and honestly it's all very interesting. Now there is one more minor problem. You have placed Category:Canadian television miniseries as subcategory of Category:Canadian television films. If you look at Category:Television miniseries, it has as only parent Category: Television programs (no "film" category). All the other country subcategories have also only their respective county-television-program category. From what I see, WP Films goes only as far as Television films in sharing with WP Television. It seems like other TV programs are not "films", but I am starting a discussion between projects to make this clear. Until now I have not removed any of the categories you have assigned, but just added the missing country "primary" film category. Here however, I hope you will agree that Canadian television films has to be replaced by Canadian television programs, to follow the categorization pattern of its parent.

I have no intention of engaging in an edit war with you, nor am I going to bicker with you on a Talk Page. There is simply no policy that strictly forbids placing a Main Category and a Subcategory in the same article. I feel your behavior is arbitrary and self appointed.

You may contest the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page. Also, please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

Hello, I am contacting all non-anonymous editors who participated in the debate at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Québécois.

[edit] Expo 67 Vandalism

An anonymous poster keeps adding a dubious paragraph about the "first family" to enter Expo 67. It seems to be a vanity addition, since the Expo officials at the time did not recognize a "first family", only the "first person" to attend the fair, which in several media and Expo documents was an Al Carter from Chicago. As well, the anon. writer's paragraph doesn't really add anything to the article because all it says is that they were glad to be at Expo. This is not noteworthy, and it is quite poorly written. I also am not sure if the poster is making up the citation as well, but that is a minor point. The anon. poster keeps putting the offending paragraph into the article. Could you temporarily put page protection on Expo 67 for the next two weeks, since this is the period of the 40th Anniversary? Abebenjoe 19:23, 24 April 2007 (UTC)

Thank you. I hope it doesn't escalate too much. Abebenjoe 21:50, 24 April 2007 (UTC)

Now that the article is in a more mature stage of development (anymore info, and it should be subdivided), a couple of anonymous editors keep deleting the timezone information, claiming it is "unnecessary." Of course it is, because it clears up some of the confusion that people had about what time it started. Someone originally deleted it, in good faith, because they thought it should have been EDT. However, in 1967 EDT started on the last weekend of April, so the rational was wrong. Ever since, about five times a week, I have to keep reverting or expanding EST to the opening time. It is becoming ridiculous and the perpetrators are anon. editors. Is there anything you can do? Abebenjoe 22:36, 18 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Question regarding your edit to Richard Siken

I noticed that you added the "Gay Writers" category to the Richard Siken article. Do you have a source for that? Thanks. johnpseudo 15:22, 27 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Canadian alternative rock

Hey, saw your page-in-progress on Canadian alternative rock. Don't forget the Dishes! There was an interview with one of the band members in issue 14 of Holy Titclamps.

[edit] Removed Over Land Studio link

I expect that Crash Vegas is a band that you consider to be your own dominion, but it is not. The link that you removed was not to a "blog" and I request that you restore it.

As a person with a long history of working with musical groups in Toronto and Montréal, I showcased these artists in 2000, long before Wikipedia existed. Visit over-land-studio

On a personal note, I am also a music composer, worked for PolyGram in Montréal in 1983-1984, and have close to 100 hours of live recordings of Canadian artists, ranging from pop to ambient, to classical.

The linked page, l a c i e g 2 s . c a is not a blog, but rather an information Web site. Do a search on the terms lacieg2s or w3terra and find this out for yourself.

My 'blog? http://columba-kos.diaryland.com

You may visit this blog through my own "art" site myasylum.ca

Jack and Olivia for you!!!

All of my sound recordings are stored on w3terra.nl as full bit wav files. Included are compilation albums of Montréal and Toronto artistes.

Since you are local, you can get a CD copy of these unique recordings. Downloads from the European server might take a while...

Unfortuntately, Crash Vegas was not recorded live by me, but I do have hundreds of photographs of the band performing live. Why no recordings? They did not wish this to be done. Was it unanimous? No, Jocelyn would have welcomed the attention, I am certain.

[edit] Notability and The R3-30 chart

Hi Bearcat. I am interested in your feedback, as I think you may have more understanding of what The R3-30 chart is all about than I do. Does reaching high on the chart demonstrate notability for a band (criterion #11)? I created an article on The Western Investor (see a copy currently in my sandbox) but it was speedily deleted. Commentary is here. Thanks, --Paul Erik 07:04, 6 May 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for that. It really surprised me that an admin deleted it even with a {{hangon}} tag on it. --Paul Erik 07:17, 6 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Why the anger?

Hello, again. I realize we're having a bit of a disagreement, but I've tried to keep the discussion as civil as possible. You seem to have taken some element of this personally and displayed behavior I would not have expected out of an administrator. You have left talk-page comments in what seems from my side of the screen to be a condescending tone. You have gotten involved in a content dispute to the point where you have resisted the idea of following procedure (though, to your credit, you have not misused your sysop priviliges beyond bringing out the "admin card" as a rhetorical point very eary in the debate at my talk page).

I wasn't going to say anything until I saw this edit summary, which just blows my mind. You say that not only messages from an editor in good standing, but also of a fellow administrator, are "unwelcome" on your page. All I want is to keep this whole thing civil and by-the-book, and I don't understand why that makes you so angry. If there's something else going on beyond Wikipedia that's causing anger to spill over into Wikipedia, then you have my sympathies. However, I would ask that you try to act in the professional manner your community-granted post makes us expect from you. --Dynaflow 09:29, 6 May 2007 (UTC)

I'm not resisting procedure (?!) or being condescending or angry. And if you're going to start suggesting that my tone is more condescending than I think, then keep in mind that you're the one whose last comment on my talk page opened with "it's your ball". Bearcat 09:35, 6 May 2007 (UTC)

I said that in an effort to not make my leaving the link sound personal or otherwise emotionally-involved. Maybe the phrase has different connotations in Canada, but, in the south-of-the-border way I used it, it was to equate sending you the link to the nothing-personal attitude of one team, even though pitted against the other, still sportsmanly handing off the soccer football to the other team when required to by the rules. I don't want to get into a no-holds-barred fight over an article I have no personal investment in; I just want to subject something I thought should have been speedydeleted to the community litmus test and see if it passes or (as I expect it will and you expect it won't) fails. That's all; nothing personal. --Dynaflow 09:45, 6 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Paddockwood

Hi there. I just wondered why you moved the Paddockwood article. I can understand having more specific titles for articles about locations with a name that is shared by other places, but I can't imagine there are that many Paddockwoods! -- JediLofty ^{User | Talk} 22:23, 6 May 2007 (UTC)

I've started the discussion. Strangely I didn't see a discussion before it was moved to it's current page name. I obviously missed it. -- JediLofty ^{User | Talk} 08:53, 8 May 2007 (UTC)

I've closed the discussion - I didn't realise that Canadian articles had different treatment from other places. -- JediLofty ^{User | Talk} 12:12, 11 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Mayors of St. Albert

Hello. I noticed that you correct my double categorization of St. Albert mayors (into both "Mayors of St. Albert" and "Mayors of Places in Alberta"), and I thank you for that. That I double categorized them in the first place was owing to ignorance of Wikipedia's categorization policies, and I apologize for that. My one quibble is that you've assigned the Franco-Albertan category, which I don't think is correct - while he's certainly descended from francophones, I believe that English is his native language. Do you happen to have a source? Thanks again for your help. Sarcasticidealist 03:02, 7 May 2007 (UTC)

• Er, what I meant to say was that you'd assigned the Franco-Albertan category to Paul Chalifoux. Sarcasticidealist 03:03, 7 May 2007 (UTC)

• • Thanks for your explanation. I was wondering if you could direct me to somewhere on Wikipedia that this definition of "Franco-Albertan" has been established because, as an Albertan, my understanding of the term in its everyday use is that it refers specifically to an Albertan whose native language is French. FYI, I've also raised this issue on the category's talk page.Sarcasticidealist 01:05, 28 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Public Libraries

Hi. We were back & forth on the Greater Sudbury article once and I've seen your handle on many a place in Ontario article that I've worked on. I seem to have gotten myself into a bit of trouble with this article. I've been asked to get someone else to check / rewrite it. I don't want to impose, so I won't ask for a rewrite. But I think part of the issue revolves around whether the subject is considered worthy enough for an article at all and that's being questioned due to my COI. There are a number of other Ontario Public Libraries with articles, as well as several from other places. So I guess my question is whether you think individual public libraries should have articles. Any other suggestions most appreciated. I've also asked Flibirigit for comments as well. Much thanks. Blotto adrift 18:44, 10 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Orleans

Hi. Hate to bug you, but if you have a chance, there is a mess that needs fixing. An anonymous IP moved Orléans, Ontario to Orleans, Ontario by cutting and pasting the article. Not sure if the move was the right one or not, but the loss of edit history certainly isn't a good thing. Skeezix1000 18:54, 10 May 2007 (UTC)

Much like Montreal or Quebec, I suppose the right thing would be to use the accepted English version of the name, even though it appears that the official name might have an accent ([3]). Skeezix1000 19:07, 10 May 2007 (UTC)

Nope, can't say for sure that Orleans is the unambiguous English version of the name. It's the version I see most often, but that's just anecdotal. I do agree that the anon's rationale wasn't kosher, and that at the very least, a formal WP:RM ought to have preceeded any move. Skeezix1000 11:12, 11 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Geography categories are for geography

I don't know where you picked up the nonsensical notion that the Wikipedia geography categories are not for all aspects of geography, but it is factually incorrect, as can be seen by looking at just about any country's geography category Cloachland 21:45, 11 May 2007 (UTC)

Hello Bearcat, an automated process has found an image or media file tagged as nonfree media, such as fair use. The image (Image:Ca-on-wd.gif) was found at the following location: User talk:Bearcat/Archive 3. This image or media will be removed per statement number 9 of our non-free content policy. The image or media will be replaced with Image:NonFreeImageRemoved.svg , so your formatting of your userpage should be fine. The image that was replaced will not be automatically deleted, but it could be deleted at a later date. Articles using the same image should not be affected by my edits. I ask you to please not re-add the image to your userpage and could consider finding a replacement image licensed under either the Creative Commons or GFDL license or released to the public domain. Please note that it is possible that the image on your page is included vie a template or usebox. In that case, please find a free image for the template or userbox.

[edit] CHTN-FM

Yesterday I did a minor cleanup of the CHTN article by saying "The first song played was 'Start Me Up' by the Rolling Stones. Earlier this morning, my clean-up was reverted with "The first song played? 'Start Me Up' - the Rolling Stones", claiming my clean-up was "redundant". I believe my cleanup was better and conforms to the standard editing style.

[edit] Revert of Betacommand

It's your talk page, so you can do whatever you want, but I wouldn't advise doing it. Like it or not, "album cover" isn't a good fair use justification; those images will get deleted unless you provide a proper rationale.--§hanel 05:14, 26 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Access (Alberta) article

Check ACCESS (TV_channel) and see if the semi-protection tag is not necessary. Also, there's a dispute of sorts regarding the logo gallery for Access Alberta; a few other stations have logo galleries such as CBNT and WTVS. Do you think you could settle the dispute which has seen Access' logo gallery be removed two or three times? Maple Leaf fan '04 16:35, 26 May 2007 (UTC)

Our fair use Wikipedia:Non-free content criteria #8 specifically prohibits the use of fair-use images in galleries. One logo, used to identify the subject of the article, is permitted. If there is actually encyclopedic discussion - with reliable sources - about the history of the logo, if this is actually a subject of any scholarly discussion, then the history of the logo may be useful. However, in most cases, old logos just don't have a place in an article about a TV station. (ESkog)^(Talk) 18:29, 26 May 2007 (UTC)

I've implemented a personal remedy for the images I've uploaded in the last month or more. I have set up a Photobucket account for to host the images away from Wikipedia and posted external links to the specific items (which so far are only WTVS and CBNT as I've uploaded the bulk of my images from those two channels). There are plenty more articles besides the two I mentioned today that might not yet be noticed and someone may want to do their own solutions before those old images disappear forever.

[edit] CJLS

Do you think a semi-protect should be considered for CJLS considering some of the edits that were made in the past and the subsequent undoings of them? Maple Leaf fan '04 00:49, 27 May 2007 (UTC)

Heh. I've been giggling since I started to download that; It even says in the desc of the download that there's stuff about Wikipedia in it, so I *knew* what it had to be (at long last!).

[edit] Billy Merasty

I have added a "{{prod}}" template to the article Billy Merasty, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but I don't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and I've explained why in the deletion notice (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may contest the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page. Also, please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.--Ozgod 05:19, 29 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Do you know...?

It's just occured to me that we have likely met? I was just looking at the Gaylaxicon page, and saw you'd edited it a little; in addition to currently being Stephanie in Cambridge, I *was* Stephanie in Parkdale, the large redhead who ran publicity for the Toronto Gaylaxicon. I'd say I'm a friend of Lance's, but Lance and I are both those sort of nexus people, and we both seem to know *everyone*, so that isn't helpful. I was the person going a little nuts at Gaylaxicon last year because I was moving to Cambridge, MA, a week later, which was really not well timed for deciding to help run a convention. --Thespian 17:06, 29 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] 104.7 merged into FM104.7

Hi, Virtual Steve told me that it was you who so kindly merged the two topics of 104.7 and FM104.7 together. However, upon doing this, you actually merged the articles the wrong way...if that makes any sense. The stations previous callsign is FM104.7, which was dropped approximately 2 years ago (I worked at the station when the change occurred). The station is now simply 104.7. Hence why the new page was created. Virtual Steve suggested conatacting you to see if you can reverse the merge so the station is referred to in the title of the article as 104.7, not FM104.7. And so anyone that searches for FM104.7 will be redirected to the 104.7 page? I hope that makes sense and you can help us out. Thanks, Finetuneit User:Finetuneit, 30 May 2007 (UTC)

Hi, by that reasoning, the station 92.9 (which is 104.7's sister station in Perth) shouldn't be allowed to be called '92.9.' However, it is. When you search for 92.9, you go straight there. Up the top of the 92.9 post it says you are redirected from '929 FM.' Like you pointed out, the numbers "92.9" could represent anything. I'm not trying to be difficult but I think I am making a fair point. Particularly because wikipedia prides itself on having correct information and as it stands, with regards to the 104.7 page, it is not correct. Instead of FM104.7 being redirected from 104.7, it should be the other way around. Thanks

[edit] Re: Media (Thunder Bay Article)

You mention that «a single Ontario-wide media article would be far too long to be either useful or manageable.»; Two of the radio stations listed in Thunder Bay, CKED-FM and CFQK-FM are actually located in Shuniah Township and Kaministiquia, Thunder Bay Unorganized, respectively. The category you linked to, Category:Lists of media by city, appears to list only medias based in those cities. Would region level media articles be allowed? For example, Media of the Greater Golden Horseshoe or Media of Northern Ontario? Additionally, should a Media of Thunder Bay article be created, I imagine it would be similar in content format to List of Lethbridge media, meaning that such an article would be possible.

[edit] Re: Thunder Bay Media

Thunder Bay, Ontario/List of Thunder Bay media

I updated the American affiliates (we have received CBS and NBC Minneapolis since March), updated the coverage of CFQK/CKED (CKED was started to have a small reach into the city when it was a country station, CFQK is no available in the city outside of North McIntyre, a community of about 2,000) and added a bit about WGLI, which is often receivable and does have a pretty good sized fan base considering how far away the station is. Please look over the article. Vidioman 02:38, 7 June 2007 (UTC)

The article looks good but the layout of the chart with the TV stations on it looks really odd, I don't like blank spaces. Also, the site you used for the cable channels is really out of date, the channels haven't been like that since 1999 or so. Try Zap2it for channel placement information. It's by far the most accurate. (since they're the company that prints most of the country's tv guides ;))

[edit] Question about pronunciation

You seem to know a lot about Northern Ontario, in particular the Sudbury region. I have an interview tomorrow with a lawyer from a firm up there and I may end up mentioning Espanola. I was wondering if you knew the proper pronunciation? Is it a totally anglicised es-pan-oh-la? Or is there some remnant of a gn/ñ in there? Thanks for any help you might be.

Much appreciation on your recent cleanup of John T.

I pondered changing it or not and decided against thinking about it until I finished the bulk of the article. Thanks again for making the articles I work on less suckey, and for all the work you do regarding Northern Ontario! --Kelapstick 01:16, 8 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] CHLY-FM

I feel that discussion and clarity is needed on your removal of the Internet Radio category from the CHLY page. While there is logic in your argument that the Internet Radio category is for Internet ONLY transmission, I can find no directive to state as such. In fact, the {Category:Internet radio} page states that the main article for the category is the Internet radio page, and according to this page:

• Internet radio (aka e-Radio) is an audio broadcasting service transmitted via the Internet.
• Many Internet "radio stations" are associated with a corresponding traditional "terrestrial" radio station or radio network.
• Internet radio "stations" are usually accessible from anywhere in the world...
• Some Internet radio services offer news, sports, talkback, and various genres of music—everything that is on the radio station being simulcast over the internet with a netcast stream.

Since all of these conditions apply to CHLY, it would appear that the inclusion within the Internet radio category is warranted.

Perhaps the definition of Internet radio on its corresponding wikipage needs to be changed.

Also, I am afraid that removal of such stations will hinder the wiki user from reaching such stations which stream over the internet. Imagine someone in a foreign land looking for internet radio from his/her homeland (or anywhere else, for that matter) via a search of the Internet Radio category. That person may be looking for a list of networks or independent stations, either terrestrial or internet-based which they can then listen to from their current country. Without inclusion in such a list, the user would have to spend valuable time trying to find all possible sources.

Also, there are currently stations listed on the category page which are both terrestrial and net-available: KPSU, KXLU, KVMR. It appears that the Canadian stations which were listed have been removed.

Please advise me where it is stated that Category:Internet radio is for services that exist ONLY on the Internet.

[edit] Redirect of Access: The Information Station

Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Access: The Information Station, by 72.142.251.81, another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Access: The Information Station is a nonsense redirect page formed as a result of the reversion of page move vandalism (CSD G3).

To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting Access: The Information Station, please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. Please note, this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion, it did not nominate Access: The Information Station itself.

[edit] Oldies 650 CISL

You've not only removed the "marketing statements," you've also removed basic information about the radio station. I suggest you go back and filter out what you do and don't want in the article because it's been reverted back.
70.69.51.111 04:59, 17 June 2007 (UTC)

Just to mention a few facts that shouldn't be left out of the article:

• Oldies 650 CISL is a radio station that broadcasts over the airwaves of British Columbia's Lower Mainland.
• The station broadcasts out of Richmond, BC and its program director is Gerry O'day.
• In 2006, the station participated in the first Annual Radiothon For Kids, helping to raise over $200,000 for The Sunnyhill Health Centre For Children.

While most of the section probably is public relations material, it does include facts which may or may not make the station look good. I agree that some of it shouldn't be there, but to remove everything is just stupid. That's what I don't understand about contributors of Wikipedia. They never try to fix a problem, only remove everything until there no longer is a problem which often takes away important or even interesting facts from the article.
70.69.51.111 08:01, 17 June 2007 (UTC)

Whatever, do what you want. I could hardly give a shit anymore.

[edit] Quebec geography templates

La Tuque is an example of one which is not the same as the city of La Tuque. A territory equivalent to an RCM is essentially a statistical subdivision of Quebec, and most of the statistics of the Institut de la Statistique du Québec are based on these units, as well as the geographical code system attributing a 5-digit code to each municipality. As I recall, there are about 90 RCMs and 15 TEs, of which about ten correspond exactly to the territory of a city, For purposes of uniformity, it will be useful to have articles for all of them, and those articles are likely to have a statistical focus and may eventually have a standard format. When I get round to it, I will create these articles. In the meantime, if you want to change them, that's all right, but please make sure you don't inadvertently replace an RCM-equivalent territory with a non-coterminous entity. Joeldl 03:45, 19 June 2007 (UTC)

The only problems with non-coterminous entities arising from your changes to the regional navigation templates appear to relate to La Tuque and Longueuil. I've changed them back to red links. The Longueuil one is now actually Urban agglomeration of Longueuil, which is in fact a political entity. Some day, once the articles for the RCM-equivalent territories have been created, Saguenay, Longueuil, etc. should link to them. But for now, I'm happy to leave things as you left them with the two exceptions I've noted. Joeldl 04:55, 19 June 2007 (UTC)

Fair enough - but you should probably tell User:Derekcohen (the guy who started the article) - I had told him to specify more with the lgbt category and to pick one of the journal categories (I was trying to give a new user some expierience), but he seemed to think that it was fine where it was. I haven't worked on the article in a while - so I probably wouldn't be the one to change it now--danielfolsom 13:37, 21 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Robert Carlin

No. I was surprised to see that there was even an article about Bob. I guess the newbie just copied it from the David Lewis article, with a few minor changes to make it fit into the article. Hey, its wikipedia, I've signed my rights away, all the power to them. --Abebenjoe 05:21, 22 June 2007 (UTC)

Obviously they used the section in the Lewis article, because there is nothing else online about Bob, and they used my sentence structure. I expect this on Wikipedia, because it isn't plagiarism since everything is in the public domain. However, it ain't nearly as weird as when I see something I write on Wikipeidia being quoted on CityTV or Global or even the Star. I'm convinced that their reporters check here first, for leads on the history of a Toronto or Canadian topic. In the last two weeks, I've heard, verbatim, sentences I constructed for the Sam's and Expo 67 articles. As I said before, I've signed my rights away. It's okay. When I write press releases for candidates, it is eerily surprising how much of it goes into news articles... as is. The joys of a 24 hour news cycle: no time for research. I'm obviously not from Sudbury, but I do know Elie quite well. Haven't had a chance to talk to him since Shelley stepped down. Maybe he can give me some more info on Bob, that I can then track down at the Globe, Star or Telegram archives so it is not "original research". --Abebenjoe 05:42, 22 June 2007 (UTC)

I'll call Elie and see if he still has his clippings from the time he was an MPP. He is usually in Toronto about every other weekend visiting his grandkids, so if he has his clipping service from those years, he can save us a lot time at Robarts or the Reference library. B.T.W., I have access online to all Globe and Mail articles going back to the year 2000. If you need an article from that time, just ask. I can make a pdf of it.--Abebenjoe 06:10, 22 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Category merge

I noticed your request for a category merge from Category:Singapore television series --> Category:Singaporean television programmes [4], yet the result was a merger into Category:Singaporean television series. This is presenting a problem, because a television series is a television programme, but a programme may not be a series! We have severel articles of tv programmes now ending up in that category despite not being so, for example Star Awards and Singapore gay documentaries. I tried to restore non-series articles to Category:Singaporean television programmes, but a recent bot changed everything back again. Please assist to sort out this mess. Thanks!--Huaiwei 07:54, 25 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Soo, Ontario

How do you figure the Soo's population rose my a single person? I highly doubt this, their sign has gone from 81,000 to 76 or 74.

eternalsleeper

I highly doubt the cities population rose. The only logical reasoning I can think of is that perhaps people on welfare move there because it is affordable!

eternalsleeper

Well like I said, I am from "the Soo." I know you can't debate Statscan but there are logical explanations for why the population could have risen.All I am saying is Sault, Ontario has done nothing to improve their economy and I have only heard of people leaving, not moving in. But of course, you don't have to believe me.

[edit] Xtra! West

The categories have to be on the redirect page in this case, because the redirect target Xtra! is not the name of the Vancouver publication; Xtra! West is. Either the categories stay on the redirect, or the redirect is becoming a separate article regardless of its stubbishness, because the title Xtra! West is not to be taken out of the relevant category listings. Please also note that our categorization rules explicitly allow for direct categorization of redirects, in circumstances where the title in a given category has to be something different than the title of the article that's being redirected to. Bearcat 18:13, 3 July 2007 (UTC)

Wow. You're quite adamant about this. I'm curious as to why? I can see keeping the Category:Vancouver media on the redirect, but it seems to me as if people looking through any of the other four cats are going to see Xtra!, which is the same page.

[edit] Inukshuk of distinction

I have no particular attachment to barnstars, and had no idea what they were until I read Barnstar, but I have noticed on many occasions the vast amount of work you have undertaken to keep various categories and subcategories well ordered. Since categories often assist the reader in finding related articles, it seems appropriate to award you an Inukshuk for your tireless efforts at maintaining and improving Wikipedia categories, as well as for fighting the good fight against those editors who insist on placing an article in both a parent category and a subcategory.

Your efforts are much appreciated. Skeezix1000 21:56, 3 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Pigeon River Bridge

Hello Bearcat. Your new article may imply that the "outlaw crossing" of the Canada-US Border was at the present location of the highways 61 bridge. I believe the outlaw crossing was actually further west and inland. Later on the highways were built near the coast. Topos and pictures can be found at 48°0′37.03″N, 89°42′30.14″W. I have however not yet found a web citation for this; you may wish to check your sources. Regards, Kablammo 22:17, 3 July 2007 (UTC)

As mentioned at [5] regarding Minnesota State Highway 61: The north end from Hovland to the Pigeon River formerly ran inland, bypassing Grand Portage. This is the road running to the old border crossing. Kablammo 22:22, 3 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] LGBT history

I am sorry but I disagree with your move of Greek pederasty to LGBT history in Greece. First, Greek culture is the foundation of Western culture, so the material belongs really in the history of the West. Second, in antiquity Greek culture spanned the shores of the Black Sea and the Mediterranean, encompassing territories belonging to three continents and dozens of modern countries. Though the effort to divide LGBT history by country is a worthwhile one, here I think you have been misled by terms which seem alike but are not. Haiduc 01:47, 5 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Real Classic Rock/WWRE-WWRT

Actually, neither. Since the late 90's, but stations have been owned by the same company (later sold to Mid-Atlantic together) and have always ran "in sync". I call it a simulcast, because I am not sure how else to call it, but it really isn't. The stations run in sync with each other, no delay in programming and no real primary station. It is kinda tricky. - NeutralHomer ^T:C 03:38, 5 July 2007 (UTC)

See, that's where it gets even more fun. The WWRE/WWRT studios are actually located in the same building as WINC-AM/WINC-FM. They moved there just after being sold to Mid-Atlantic in 1997. The stations were before that located (and still in sync) in Strasburg, Virginia. They were originally seperate stations owned by seperate companies when in when in 1989 Strasburg station WESI (now WWRT) bought then WAPP (now WWRE) and moved the station to Strasburg from nearby Berryville, Virginia shutting down the Berryville studios and making the stations "in sync" with each other from literally 1989 to today.

I guess you could say that WWRT is the primary station, but that would not technically be true as there is no real primary station. I am not trying to dance around your question, that is actually the best answer I can give. - NeutralHomer ^T:C 04:05, 5 July 2007 (UTC)

I was wondering if you had any further thoughts on this. - NeutralHomer ^T:C 22:31, 5 July 2007 (UTC)

I don't really have any problems with it being under WWRE, but in the article it has the history for WWRT (before WBPP, WESI), so with two histories, that is why I combined it under one header. If not, it's cool, but is it possible under current rules to name an article WWRE-WWRT or WWRE/WWRT? This would cover both sets of calls and let people know that the article is for two stations, not just the one. Take Care and Have a Good Weekend....NeutralHomer ^T:C 05:30, 7 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Neil Herland

Hi, Bearcat! The Neil Herland article needs something - an attributable source that states he's gay.

[edit] Northern Canada

I notice that you frequently edit northern pages. Can I ask for your opinion on a couple of things as I think that living here sometimes puts me too close to the subjects to be completely unbiased. Can you look at Simon Okpatauyak and make sure that the PROD I put on is valid and he's not notable enough for an article. Second, cand you take a quick look at Nunavut premier taken to task over foul language, CEO refuses Nunavut premier's apology for 'verbal attack' and Nunavut MLA calls for premier's resignation over comments and see if they should be included in the Paul Okalik article. Thanks. CambridgeBayWeather (Talk) 18:06, 6 July 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for the check. If the mayor was kept then there would have been dozens of articles needed writing. I added the Okalik stuff to the portal and I'll put it in the article in a while. CambridgeBayWeather (Talk) 05:49, 7 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] CIII-TV

Say, you know if CIII-TV sends its main signal to the CN Tower transmitter, rather than its "official" main transmitter in Paris? Seems that would be the case, since CKMI-TV does the same thing (licensed to Quebec City, but sends its signal to the Montreal transmitter first). Can't find anything verifiable on it, though ... it would seem to be common sense, but I defer to a Canadian on this one.

[edit] Colours of Tory parties

Just thought that you should know that the old debate about the old and new Conservative party colours has started up again at Template_talk:Canadian_politics/party_colours. The user in question has been changing tables to match his view on the topic and I can't stop him without breaking 3RR. --Arctic Gnome (talk • contribs) 06:01, 8 July 2007 (UTC)

Your rationale for party colours is inaccurate. All of my edits have been to ensure that the new CPC colours match with the colours of the historical CPC, and all predecessors prior to the Progressive Conservative Party of Canada. This ignores the colours of the Canadian Alliance or the Progressive Conservative Party of Canada. Thus your comments about colour favouring the one of the children over the other (i.e. the PCs over the Canadian Alliance) is inaccurate. Schoeppe 15:38, 8 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] WhiStle Radio

Hey Bearcat, I thought I'd toss the WhiStle Radio article your way, since you probably have more familiarity in this domain than most other Canadian editors here. The article was created by someone clearly involved with the station (maybe the founder?), and probably fails the requirements for inclusion (I thought they'd be at WP:RADIO, but that's a WikiProject; WP:CORP appears to be the closest criteria to use in this case). Can you inspect this please? Mindmatrix 14:23, 8 July 2007 (UTC)

Thanks Bearcat, I'll remember that for the additional edits and try to clean up some of the ones I've already done.

Further - what if the person from St.John's is also pre-confederation? (Not disputing your point here - I'm trying to figure out the right way to do this.)Vulcan's Forge 18:44, 8 July 2007 (UTC)

The list of LGBT people to be sorted has now beed reduced by 20%. Please help us with it, all of us adding just one person a day would have a dramatic effect! The Core Topics is now largely complete. The original aim of getting some kind of publication out of it is extremely long term - any short term uses we can make of it are welcome on the project talkpage. A suggestion was made this month that we start our own wiki. Although the conclusion was that we felt we were a part of Wikipedia rather than a stand alone organisation, it seems there is an LGBT wiki already, at http://lgbt.wikia.com/wiki/Main_page . Members may be interested in getting involved there. The Collaboration is now getting rather short on suggestions. Article nominations for August through December would be welcome on the talkpage. There is now a list of Missing LGBT Topics. Help is needed to work out which topics can be made redirects or need to be created. Please contribute is you can. An LGBT banner that was created for Wikipedia's internal ads system has now been adapted so it can be placed on blogs and websites. The html is <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WP:LGBT"><img src="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/7/76/Qxz-ad48.gif" height="53" width="445"></a> Please credit Miranda and link to her userpage: <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Miranda">Miranda</a>.

[edit] Nunatsiaq News

I'm not sure about adding the category "Ethnic newspapers published in Canada". I just looked at the newspapers masthead and other than the translator all the reporters and the editor are non-Inuit. Although it must be said that the owners Nortext Publishing Corporation do work a lot with aboriginal people. To a certain extent it would be similar to saying that CFFB (AM) is an ethinic radio station because they brodacast some programs in Inuktitut. Cheers. CambridgeBayWeather (Talk) 05:08, 15 July 2007 (UTC)

Cartoons, for distribution in the U.S. and other countries by Cartoon Network."

[edit] Sudbury Airport

[edit] Requesting Help for an Article's Deletion

There is an AfD discussion going on for the article BulletBall which can be found here. I would like for an administrator, such as yourself, to delete the article and close the discussion (I cannot since I am not an administrator). I believe a consensus has been reached and that the consensus (if following valid arguments) is Delete. Slartibartfast1992 02:36, 18 July 2007 (UTC)

The talk page has changed and the consensus would now seem to be to move the contents of the article to another called "List of Inventions Shown on American Inventor" or something of the like. This would still require an administrator to delete the current page and close the discussion. Of course, deleting is still an option. Slartibartfast1992 03:03, 18 July 2007 (UTC)

A consensus has been reached and it has been merged. Thanks anyway. Slartibartfast1992 00:34, 19 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Rhinoceros Party of Canada

Ask, and thou shalt receive. I've got a picture of Cornelius too, but I can't figure out who the copyright holder is. You can view it here any chance you can figure out who owns the copyright? Your userpage says your Franco-Ontario, so I'd guess your French is better than mine ... WilyD 17:33, 23 July 2007 (UTC)

• I believe Cornelius is now with the San Diego Zoo, although I understand he was at the Caldwell Zoo for a time as part of a breeding transfer programme. Still, the San Diego Zoo probably has information on his whereabouts at this time. The site I mentioned above is the only "non-blog" site I could find with a photo fo Cornelius, so I figured it was the most reasonable bet to know at least who owned the photo - and knowing who owns the copyright is a criterion for using fair use materials. I'll keep digging ... WilyD 21:51, 23 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] QT

Your explaination I agree is right and SexTV shouldn't be added afterall, but Breakfast Television shouldn't be added either. BT is not really a magazine style series like FT or MT, it's a news program. 72.142.251.81 22:59, 23 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] CKTB (AM) radio hosts not notable

You make a valid point, questioning the notability of the CKTB radio hosts. I have no idea if they are notable enough or not. What prompted me to wikify Tim Denis was that Mr Denis is at least trivally notable for his professional encounter with Shania Twain; I wikified the others simply for consistency.

A few years ago, when introducing red links was mostly considered a good thing, you could use the "what links here" as a clue as to whether a particular topic is notable; if enough red links for someone existed, it would make it to the Wikipedia:Most wanted articles list and someone often created an article for it. Of course, since the Seigenthaler controversy, unregistered contributors can't create articles any more, so I fall back on the red link trick for such cases. 68.167.253.247 23:27, 23 July 2007 (UTC).

I understand where you are coming from when you say that actors don't need to be in a network personalities list. So check the CBC personalities list as well as there maybe some actors in it. Mr. C.C. 04:47, 27 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Categories should be uncontroversial?

Bearcat, in this thread at WP:CAT talk, you indicated primary authorship of the "Categories should be uncontroversial" guideline. On that basis, would you consider reviewing a particularly intractable dispute at Talk:American Family Association hinging on whether AFA's inclusion in one or more of Category:Censorship, Category:Discrimination and Category:Homophobia is controversial? An RFC on the subject drew little outside interest. Would you suggest seeking opinions on this issue (RFC) at WP:CAT talk? Thanks, AUTiger » talk 15:05, 27 July 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for weighing in; some good points, especially the category duplication issue. With any luck, your input may help move things in the direction of some sort of compromise. Then again, that may just be wishful thinking on my part. AUTiger » talk 18:03, 27 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] DuMont Television Network

Hi Bearcat!

Hey, I've reverted your changes to DuMont Television Network. In your first edit summary, you state "do not use semicolons to separate items in a list". Actually, you can use a semicolon to separate items in a series if the elements of the series already include commas.[7] The items of the list contain commas, so I have reverted your change. In your second edit, you added this:

Metromedia was acquired by Rupert Murdoch in 1986, and many of its stations — including both WNYW and WTTG — became the nucleus of the fledgling FOX network.

That content was already covered in the next paragraph down:

New York's WABD—later WNEW-TV, and now WNYW—and Washington's WTTG survived as independents in the Metromedia Group before being bought by Rupert Murdoch's News Corporation for its Fox Broadcasting Company, in 1986.

This material could certainly be moved around, but there's no need to repeat the same information in two adjacent paragraphs. I've reverted this change as well, for now. Best wishes and happy editing, Firsfron of Ronchester 19:34, 27 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Toronto and Buffalo

Heya, bearcat! I saw that you updated the Toronto TV template, regarding Toronto and Buffalo's stations. While i'd agree that yes, they are separate markets, both cities happen to watch each other's stations in large numbers, similar to Montreal and Burlington-Plattsburgh, Vancouver-Victoria and Bellingham, and even Windsor-Detroit. As well, many other templates in Canada, the USA, and Mexico show each other's heavily-watched stations. Certainly this would do as well for Canada's largest city, and the anchor city for western Upstate New York? I'd like to hear your opinion on this, my friend. I'm not going to re-add the Toronto stations to Buffalo, or the Buffalo stations to Toronto, so don't worry about that. :) RingtailedFox • Talk • Stalk 02:05, 28 July 2007 (UTC)

(sticking my head in randomly) as someone formerly from Toronto (born in Burlington, Raised in Kitchener, I choose Toronto when in Canada) I'd say this is appropriate. Really, you can get *any* station between Rogers timeshift or a Digital satellite. The templates really should cover the stations broadcast from within the market's borders. Since they are different markets, and unlike local stations, getting them is dependent on which service provider you have (unlike the local stations), they aren't truly a shared market (emphasisized by the fact that the US market doesn't carry any of the Canadian channels, which may be different in other shared market areas, such as the Soo/Michigan, where the population is much more entwined). --Thespian 02:35, 28 July 2007 (UTC)

Perhaps, but bear in mind, that many toronto stations *are* carried on cable in the Metro Buffalo area, such as CHCH-TV, CIII-TV, CFTO-TV, and CBLT-TV. I'm also very sure that CITY-TV is carried there, as well. Another reason that the buffalo and toronto stations should be on each other's templates is that they HEAVILY target and advertise to each other, such as WNED and WUTV, and CFTO-TV. RingtailedFox • Talk • Stalk 19:35, 29 July 2007 (UTC)

I'm sorry, but they don't. Certainly never noticed it living in Toronto, unlike Windsor/Detroit, where businesses advertise on channels on the other side, the channels advertise on both sides, etc. - Buffalo and Toronto are, once the border wait is taken into account, over 2 hours apart from each other. There are no ads in Toronto for Buffalo stations. The market simply isn't the same (on the other hand, you will see Niagara Falls, ON businesses running ads on Buffalo stations. But Hamilton/Burlington is barely part of the Toronto market, and St. Catherines isn't at all. The market really isn't shared. --Thespian 04:45, 30 July 2007 (UTC)

Hi Bearcat. Thanks for the suggestions on the AFA article. I do have some doubts, but I'll go with it for now. You seem to have a good line in problem solving.

[edit] Area of Natural and Scientific Interest

Hey Bearcat, I noticed you've made a few changes regarding the categorization of Area of Natural and Scientific Interest (ANSI) and some associated articles (specifically, this edit). I don't think the changes were correct - an ANSI is not necessarily a park, though it may be. In general, an ANSI is simply a piece of land or water which has "represetative features" the government deems need to be protected. This may be within, overlap, or be equal to other designated areas, such as parks, but they retain their own classification. Some provincial parks may contain more than one ANSI, while others have none. You can find a list of zone types at the MNR website. I've created Category:Natural areas in Ontario to deal with this.

[edit] CHMB (AM)

Hello... a question. Do you have any resources that can confirm the license location for CHMB-AM? A new editor has been adding to the article; that's not a problem, but he/she has moved the station to "Vancouver" in the BC list. CHMB's parent has an office address in South Vancouver, but I can't find confirmation as to where it is actually licensed there or in New Westminster. Thoughts? --Ckatz^chat_spy 00:03, 3 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Everything I Do-charts

Hi. Thanks for you comment on my discussionpage. I've actually added a source for the 39 weeks on top of the Canadian charts for (Everything I Do) I Do It for You several days ago. But the source doesn't specify if it is the RPM (magazine)-chart or the Singles Sales Chart. So if it only peaked #1 in 9 weeks at the RPM-charts, the 39 weeks must be from the Singles Sales chart.

[edit] Category:Canadian experimental filmmakers

Hi Bearcat, as you are the Master of Categories I wanted to check with you. I've created a cat. for Can. experimental filmmakers, similar to what has been done for British, American, etc. As I note on the Talk Page, [8] I would have thought this would be a sub-category of Canadian film directors but it's not how it was done for the other nationalities and so I didn't do so here for consistency's sake. Would you agree with this? Shawn in Montreal 21:02, 3 August 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading Image:Bigdaddy1039.jpg. 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 for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not.

[edit] C.Mulroney

Hey Bearcat, I think that you began the original Caroline Mulroney article a few years ago. However, I have re-nominated it for deletion. To me, and a few others, her own notability is related to other people (father, brother, husband) in her life. A year ago, someone commented that *first children* are indeed notable. That may be the case in the USA, but it is hardly the case in Canada or other parliamentary democracies. This is the 2nd nomination for deletion for this article. It was also nominated a year ago.

Hey Bearcat, I recall that you were involved with the commotion about the Vaughan Council candidates pages (in the end, the consensus was that most were not notable enough to merit their own pages, and that their names should redirect to either the election or the council page). I recall a user being blocked for sockpuppetry after said user used sockpuppets in deletion discussions as well as repeated recreating candidate pages that were changed to redirects per the consensus. Do you recall the name of that sockpuppet? I'd like to tag the freshly-blocked CommonSenseEdits (talk • contribs • count) with the appropriate sock tag.

[edit] Categories for Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence

Hi, the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence article gets a lot of vandalism so I apologize for readily reversing your deletion of categories. I have changed Activism to Activists, Sprituality to Neopaganism; Nuns I think is the best category for now unless a new sub-category opens up as Nuns by nationality seems odd as they would fit into several of those at the same time but that might be appropriate. Gender might seem like a duplicate but they actually fit into multiple subcategories within so I'm not sure what the best solution there is. Benjiboi 01:38, 12 August 2007 (UTC)

Hey, Bearcat, I see your signature on several Manitoba articles I have looked at. You recently made a good fix to an addition I had made to the Kevin Patterson article.

(I note that many stubs and short articles about Manitoba subjects are not referenced yet, but recently I had a note placed on an article I created saying that it did not meet standards of verifiability.)

You mean, is he confusing "social democracy" with "social liberalism"? I suppose it's possible, though one would think he'd have discovered his error by now.

There'd be no harm in clarifying the terminology on the talk page, I suppose. CJCurrie 01:36, 15 August 2007 (UTC)

Hm. I have always assumed that our friend considers himself to be a social democrat and has a crush on Ms. Stronach. He is thus projecting his desire for her to share her views. I think I developed this theory early on based on his preoccupation with her, his dedication to securing a photo of her to post, and his early edits that replaced "Stronach" with "Belinda" because he thought it sounded better. I give you snaps for taking the time to try to reason thi through with him. I don't have hte patience anymore.

I didn't realize that there were so many cases in Canada like this! I just did Penticton because it came to mind (because of Kamloops and Kelowna) because I was just in the area a couple weeks ago. Instead of have just 50 different discussions on 50 different pages, it would probably be better just to leave a note on talk pages to come and discuss at a central location like Wikipedia:Canadian wikipedians' notice board/Cities. I know we moved a lot of pages last summer and established the new convention apart from the American one. If a couple more go through smoothly, it shouldn't be an issue for a bunch more in the exact same situation. -Royalguard11(T·R!) 00:51, 16 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Notability of CFML-FM

A tag has been placed on CFML-FM, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia.

I'm not breaking any rules. I disagree with you. An internet station is just as notable as one licensed by the CRTC. GreenJoe 23:14, 21 August 2007 (UTC)

Please assume good faith when dealing with other editors. See Wikipedia:Assume good faith for the guidelines on this. GreenJoe 23:14, 21 August 2007 (UTC)

I disagree. I don't think CRTC licensing is enough to make a station notable. Any station can get licensed, as we see with that category. GreenJoe 23:18, 21 August 2007 (UTC)

What I"m saying is that notability has to be either determined by the association with the campus, or something else. The CRTC licensing isn't enough. GreenJoe 23:21, 21 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Redirect of Pirate cat radio

Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Pirate cat radio, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Pirate cat radio is a redirect to a non-existent page (CSD R1).

To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting Pirate cat radio, please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. Feel free to contact the bot operator if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot, bearing in mind that this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion; it does not perform any nominations or deletions itself.

I have seen your awesome helping hand around and about, and see you are also a part of WP Canada Music.

Can you mail the new user...User talk:Af4k and give him advice to help his articles stand or if they must fold, then why... so he understands wiki as it is quite a blow within a few days to have your very very first article attempt in wikipedia toasted....

Hello there. Thanks for your comment. Haven't heard from User talk:Af4k, but I made an article on Terry Cottam and re-directed the Chameleon (Anglo-Canadian Band) article here.

[edit] The Dykeenies edits

Hi Bearcat, nice username C= Just wondering, recently i noticed that you added {{DEFAULTSORT:Dykeenies, The}} to The Dykeenies userpage. After reading numerous complicated and hard to read "Wikipedia:" pages, I still have no idea what this template does. Can you explain it to me?

[edit] More on DEFAULTSORT

Just wondering if this would apply in the same context, if you added the DEFAULTSORT template to say, a subpage of userboxes, and the parameter was a username, would this mean that all of the categories which those userboxes apply to would list the user as "User:SteelersFan_UK06", and not, "User:SteelersFan_UK06/Userboxes"?

[edit] warning

A tag has been placed on Elaine MacDonald, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article appears to be a repost of material that was previously deleted following a deletion debate, such as articles for deletion. If you can indicate how Elaine MacDonald is different from the previously posted material, or if you can indicate why this article should not be deleted, I advise you to place the template {{hangon}} underneath the other template on the article, and also put a note on Talk:Elaine MacDonald saying why this article should stay. An admin should check for such edits before deleting the article. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Please read our criteria for speedy deletion, particularly item 4 under General criteria. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself. We welcome your help in trying to improve Wikipedia, and we request you to follow these instructions.

Your edit comment that all candidates "MUST" be listed and "deletion is NOT acceptable" flies in the face of a an AfD procedure which resulted in a decision to delete, not a decision to redirect. Your action is a direction violation of Wikipedia policy. Continued action of this nature will result in your being blocked. Realkyhick 18:18, 3 September 2007 (UTC)

You certainly can tag a redirect for speedy, if it is a reposting of a title that was deleted through AfD as this one was. If there was a "convention" (please cite this) in place to redirect, you should have said so in the AfD discussion, but you did not even participate in this discussion. Instead, you took it upon yourself to ignore the results of the AfD, thereby violating Wikipedia policy. If you really think this article should be recreated as a redirect despite the AfD decision to delete, then I suggest you follow proper procedures and submit the article for deletion review. I would likely support a decision for redirect. My only problem is that you ignored the AfD and posted the redirect anyway. You've been around here long enough to know the rules.

Let me add that if I had known about the main candidate article, I would have pulled the AfD nomination and redirected it myself. Realkyhick 18:30, 3 September 2007 (UTC)

I must say that I was a little surprised that the AfD was not relisted for more consensus, but apparently the admin handling it felt the case for deletion was strong enough. That's their call, not mine. (I'm not an admin, and don't have a burning desire to be one.) Again, I think the proper thing to do is to go through WP:DRV. I think it would probably be restored in fairly short order, and I would certainly put in a good word for it. It's not too difficult; I've done it myself, and if I can do it, a caveman can do it. (Sorry, just saw a GEICO commercial on TV.) Realkyhick 18:55, 3 September 2007 (UTC)

As the AfD closer, I generally have tended to close debates with only three participants (including the nominator) all recommending delete; there tend to be quite a few of these each day, and the vast majority of them are uncontroversial, but that is clearly not the case here. Since both of you seem to be in agreement with the merge/redirect, which seems like a reasonable option, I'm perfectly willing to reverse my deletion of the edit history and save everyone the process of a DRV, as the debate wasn't reflective of the complete situation. Wikipedia isn't a bureaucracy, after all, and the first step listed WP:DP#Deletion review is to contact the closing admin for discussion, before DRV. — TKD::Talk 19:08, 3 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] List of Radio Stations in other websites

Hi there, i've been editing and updating the listing of radio stations all over Canada in Wikipedia.

Congratulations to Dev920 and SatyrTN who nominated them respectively. Please consider pitching in the the remaining lists to help us get them finished before the end of the year. Project News WP:LGBT now has an IRC channel! It is #LGBTProject on Freenode. Users without IRC or Xchat can use the java app at java.freenode.net to access the channel from their web browser. Hope to see you in there sometime! David Shankbone has taken a LOT of photos. An idea has been mooted to create a page for listing people who are willing to take images in their area on request, please give your thoughts here. Considerable discussion has recently been held on our coverage of same sex marriage, civil unions and domestic partnerships. You may be interested to read it. The list of LGBT people to be sorted has now been reduced by over 30%. Please help us with it, all of us adding just one person a day would have a dramatic effect! A gay cabal conspiracy ghost has been created to do with what you will. :) Wooh, massive gay conspiracy... Member News Since the last newsletter was released, we have had more members been labelled inactive than who have signed up - please consider recruiting a few more people if you can, a WikiProject is only as good as its members. :) To stop receiving this newsletter, or to receive it in a different format, please let us know here.

[edit] Warner

Thx for the comment Bearcat. Sorry if I interpreted your comments to be negative regarding the existence of an article on Warner. I was really surprised that it seemed some people were against the existence of the article, but not for any other candidates (and pretty much all these people had an edit history with the Warner article, as well as other candidates).

I'm still not sure why the article speedily deleted and not edited! It was my first actual article contribution to Wikipedia, and was actually quite surprised at some of the reactions surrounding it from a very small body of users. I kind of ignored the article after I posted it, but I remember looking at the history at one point and getting the impression that a couple of users seemed on a vandetta to wipe Mr. Warner's education and personal history (despite this being referenced and truly peacock free), only to have the user Canam1 stubbornly posting it back. BTW, I agree the intro was pretty Peacocky but in my defence I have never done a bio before and thought the references were OK (which apparently some admins sided with during the discussion). Most of my Wikipedia experience over the years with small anonymous edits or corrections were to Computer Science related articles and those never have issues! I guess non-political articles are the brighter side of this site.

On that note, I have a n00b question if you don't mind: I greatly expanded the article about Bluetooth Scatternet's because it was a stub and had a context tag. I removed the context tag because I think I've explained the concept well enough, but at what point does an article not become a stub? I notice there's a severe lack of information on Wikipedia regarding Bluetooth and other wireless technologies, and want to contribute more, so I'm really wondering about this...

[edit] New Sudbury FM at 91.7 call sign

Hi Bearcat, I noticed that you had made up a new article for a future new radio station in Sudbury, Ontario to broadcast at 91.7 FM with a new call sign, CICS. I have no ideas of where you got this call sign from but I had e-mailed Larche Communications and a few other places to try and find out what the new call sign will be for the new country FM radio station in Sudbury and they've never replied! Since the branding will be KICX-FM, I figured that one of the new call signs for the new radio station would possibly be: CIKS, CIKX, CKKX, CKKS, CKXS, CIXS, and the one that has been picked, CICS. If I had already known what the new call sign will be, I could possibly had made the new article already, but thanks anyways! :-) Take care. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.167.224.11 (talk) 10:11, 19 September 2007 (UTC)

Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not meet basic Wikipedia criteria may be deleted at any time.

To do this, add {{hangon}} on the top of the article and leave a note on the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would confirm its subject's notability under the guidelines.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion. To do this, add {{hangon}} on the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag) and leave a note on the page's talk page explaining your position.

[edit] Template:Ontario TV

Heya! I've noticed you've merged all of the templates into one super template...won't it be harder to manage it like this, instead of as separate individual templates? it's not exactly standard, becuase the american TV templates aren't merged like this... i think the markets should be separate, like their american counterparts, but i won't revert or re-split them. i'd like to hear your response. :) RingtailedFox • Talk • Stalk 11:39, 28 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Montreal TV

I see, however I think major markets should still have a separate template. 5 out of the 9 stations in Montreal for example don't have a network of repeaters. The 4 that do still originate in Montreal (CKMI is based in Quebec City, but focuses on Montreal). Then there's also the border stations that target Montreal. All the smaller markets that are mostly repeaters/stations with repeaters can be joined into one template. -Noname2 00:09, 29 September 2007 (UTC)

Yes, that's what I meant, to only list the originating stations on the template. Also, in the case of Burlington/Plattsburgh stations in Montreal, not only do they reach Montreal over the air, but they try to sell advertising there and identify themselves as serving "Burlington, Plattsburgh, and Montreal". It's not like, say, Minneapolis stations in Winnipeg. -Noname2 12:54, 29 September 2007 (UTC)

Then what about Template:British Columbia TV? Shouldn't it not be listing the Bellingham stations? -Noname2 13:18, 7 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Canadian Radio Personalities

Bearcat what is your issue with regards to adding people to the Canadian Radio Personality Stub? I've tried to add someone and it's simply gone... deleted by you?! There are many on here, and I am simply trying to add to the list. Please See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Canadian_radio_personalities or http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Canadian_television_biography_stubs

These are all lists of people in the industry. Please advise as to why you are giving me a hard time with this. Thank you

Thanks for getting back to me. I did change it to make it less of a biography (as you stated last time) and also added web sources this time for the references. As I mentioned, I added it to the Canadian Radio Personality Stubs that has quite a big list. Why can't this person be added. He is just as notable as the others in the list? Why does this stub exist if someone who fits the criteria of the stub can't be added? Thanks —Preceding unsigned comment added by Shock wav (talk • contribs) 16:29, 11 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Second opinions requested

Sometime ago I created Disc numbers but now I'm thinking that it would have been better at the Disc number redirect. Second, should Ernest Bernhardt be at Ernest Bernhardt or Ernie Bernhardt. I don't think I've ever heard him called Ernest. Third, shouldn't Category:Canadian women in provincial legislatures be Category:Canadian women in provincial and territorial legislatures? CambridgeBayWeather (Talk) 04:18, 11 October 2007 (UTC)

1 & 2 thanks. 3, no probelm I can do it now. CambridgeBayWeather (Talk) 04:32, 11 October 2007 (UTC)

Me again. Can you check out Bill Lyall. I just created it and as I've known him for years, a friend of mine, it could probably do with a check. That plus my writing skills are crap which is why I don't create too many articles. Thanks. CambridgeBayWeather (Talk) 06:37, 11 October 2007 (UTC)

Thanks. I misread your message and thought for a minute our premier had resigned. I haven't seen anything as to the NWT premier except, one news report said it would be done by the 12th October and another be th 18th. CambridgeBayWeather (Talk) 18:21, 11 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] You're right.

My bad re. the Canadian station. I noticed the error when I looked under the Rogers Communications category, but I was sidetracked before I could report it to an admin. Sorry 'bout that. Thanks for the info. --PMDrive1061 05:42, 12 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] LGBT WikiProject Newsletter

The LGBT studies WikiProject Newsletter

The LGBT studies WikiProject Newsletter! Issue X - October 1, 2007 The LGBT studies project has been rather quiet of late. Though we've added over 180 new members in the last year, only a small percentage are active participants. If you haven't visited our project or talk page in a while, please stop by for a look. Also, if you happen to bump into another editor who you feel might enjoy working with us, please extend an invitation. There's lot's do do, and the active members would sincerely appreciate some help. Welcome to the 11 new members that joined us in September: Bu852, JuniorMuruin, Laualoha, JereKrischel, Dybryd, Sexperts, Ctjf83, Allstarecho, Johnandbob, Carlossuarez46, and Carterdriggs! LGBT Project Peer review Our Peer review project is struggling at the present, with only a few people reviewing the articles. While it is certainly possible to submit articles for a general peer review, a review by members of the LGBT community can be of additional value for LGBT specific writing. There are several articles currently up for review on a wide range of topics. At the very least, reading the articles will undoubtedly broaden your intellectual horizons :-) Deletion discussions At the moment, David Le Brocq, Malmö Devilants and Trajectory Hermeneutics are up for deletion review. Please take a look at them and make your voice heard at the deletion review. Articles nominated for deletion also present a challenge for improvement. See what you can do, and watchlist our deletion review page. FA & GA article news Since our last newsletter, Fun Home and GayFest have been promoted to Good Article status. Congratulations to all editors who have worked so hard to improve them! While the T-Z list was promoted to Featured list on September 26, 2007, we have had no articles reach Featured Article status since Homer's Phobia was promoted last March. In fact, one article of our Project was delisted: Andrew Van De Kamp. Please take a look at out listed articles and see if you'd like to try to take one to Featured status (there are almost 8,000 to choose from). Additionally, Conversion therapy has been nominated for Featured status. Please read the article and give feedback at the Feartured Article Candidates page. (See also our FA-class list.) Pederasty article controversy The Pederasty articles continue to be a point of controversy both within and outside of our community. Various editors have suggested that to include them as LGBT Project related somehow taints the project and brings Wikipedia into disrepute. Other editors have stated that the articles, and especially the Pederasty article, are part of the core of LGBT studies. Well meaning editors continue to remove our tags from the articles themselves as well as the talk pages. If you have time, please read the articles and watchlist them to protect them from vandalism and well meaning but counterproductive edits. List of gay, lesbian or bisexual people The list of LGBT people has survived its 4th nomination for deletion. Please watchlist this list to protect it from vandalism and unsourced additions. There are many in Wikipedia who would like to see this Featured status list removed from the project. It is up to us to keep it to such a high caliber that it never is removed. David Shankbone Our project member David Shankbone is now working as a journalist for Wikinews, as well as continuing to improve our project and Wikipedia as a whole with his photographs. A sincere thank you goes out to him for all of his hard work. Wikipedia would not shine nearly as brightly without your contributions, David. Barbara Gittings Happy Halloween, everybody! Be happy and celebrate! The surviving life partner of prominent LGBT rights activist Barbara Gittings recently called one of our editors and, among other things, complimented us on what a great job our project is doing on Wikipedia. Thanks to everyone who contributes to this project, either through their article edits or support for other project members. We really are making an difference here! Member assistance Some of our project members have been having difficulties related to editing on the encyclopedia. If you are feeling frustrated or distressed by your editing experience, please don't keep it to yourself. Wikipedia is a collaborative effort, and we are all here to help one another. Drop a line on our talkpage or on another editor's page, and other members of the LGBT project will happily give you the support you want and need. Lastly, Halloween is just around the corner. More than most holidays, Halloween is a holiday embraced by and tailor made to our community (though God only knows why we are invisible in the Halloween article here. Perhaps somebody would like to rectify that editing oversight). Have fun, everybody, and remember to both trick and treat!

[edit] Ontario map

Nice job. Looks much nicer than the plain white one we were using before. Though it's obviously going to take quite a while to replace every map that needs replacing on here...I'd help if I had a clue how to do the dot placement! Bearcat 03:52, 13 October 2007 (UTC)

Thanks. :)

There is a code in the infoboxes that allows you to control the dot placement. If the following doesn't appear in the infobox, the just copy/paste it in.

|image_dot_map = Ontario Locator Map.svg
|dot_mapsize = 250px
|dot_map_caption = Location of {{PAGENAME}} *OR* Location of City in Ontario (if you want to personalize each one; {{PAGENAME}} is much quicker)
|dot_x = XX |dot_y = YY

XX is the horizontal placement, with 0 being the left side and 250 being the right side.

YY is the vertical placement, with 0 being the top and 250 being the bottom.

Usually I estimate where it is (ie. X 140 Y 200) then change it by smaller amounts until I get it in the right spot, using the preview mode. It isn't hard but it is a bit time consuming.

If you're going to try it, only replace maps which use the base map and a red dot. I have separate maps for single-tier municipalities and will be adding maps with insets for other cities like Toronto or Niagara Falls at a later time. vıdıoman (talk • contribs) 04:05, 13 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Succession boxes vs. nav templates

I noticed you've been removing succession boxes from Lt-Govs. It is a rule somewhere that we can only use one and not the other? Just curious. Kevlar67 18:25, 20 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] On the same lines...

If it already mentions someones successor in their main infobox (e.g. MPs, Senators) should we be getting rid of succession boxes there too? Or should we try to use infobox in a way that doesn't mention successors? What about people who held many offices? I'm thinking about your Stephane Dions and your Lucien Bouchards Kevlar67 18:40, 20 October 2007 (UTC)

You just read my mind. Kevlar67 18:42, 20 October 2007 (UTC)

To be more specific, should we keep the Inbox Canadian Senator for Nicholas Taylor (as I put up yesterday) or go with the one that show all this offices that I put on the talk page. How do you know when to use each one? Which one would Grant MacEwan need? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Kevlar67 (talk • contribs) 18:46, 20 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Air Farce Live

The talk page for Air Farce Live has the right content, but the wrong name as it says it's for the comedy album. Can this be fixed? Also, now that the comedy troupe and the TV series no longer share the same name, should the Royal Canadian Air Farce comedy troupe have its own article? Steelbeard1 15:14, 24 October 2007 (UTC)

I created the separate Royal Canadian Air Farce article. How is it? Now that the Talk: Air Farce Live page is cleared, it should be safe to move the historic Air Farce TV show talk page to this page. Steelbeard1 18:30, 24 October 2007 (UTC)

Hi Bearcat, thanks for your response... you mentioned that just because someone is a Canadian Radio Personality it doesn't automatically give them the right to be on that particular stub. I just took a quick look into that stub as well as the TV personality stub... what makes these people notable enough? I'm just curious as to what exactly you're looking for? Tom Allen,Mary Hynes, Freeway Frank, Kelly Noseworthy, Matte Babel. These people are all on the wither Radio or Television stubs.

[edit] Tim Peterson

Actually, you're wrong about Peterson. Peterson joined the PC caucus officially as of June 6, 2007, as soon as he won the nomination. It's on his bio on the Legislative Assembly website. Yes, the Assembly had prorogued by then, but it hadn't been officially dissolved yet. Therefore, he was a member of PC caucus -- he even attended caucus meetings.The Invisible Man 03:36, 3 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Template: TBayRadio

If you're going to change it to "Radio stations in Thunder Bay District", then you'll have to add radio stations for Nipigon, Greenstone, Marathon, etc. There are probably too many of them. Grouping them by CD might work in Southern Ontario, but the north is too big for it to be efficient. vıdıoman (talk • contribs) 23:23, 6 November 2007 (UTC)

Is it that necessary to have those other stations included? If you group them by community, that list is going to be about 30 items long. vıdıoman (talk • contribs) 23:38, 6 November 2007 (UTC)

How about a template for Thunder Bay District, without Thunder Bay, and a link to Thunder Bay's market template in the TB District template? vıdıoman (talk • contribs) 00:11, 7 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Electoral district infobox

Hey Bearcat. I decided to create a new infobox that handles all federal and provincial electoral districts, and am now looking for some feedback. My test template is temporarily named Canada electoral district, and a test page using it is here. Mindmatrix 19:23, 8 November 2007 (UTC)

Glad you like it. It's my intention that this new infobox will replace all current electoral district infoboxes; it can handle districts that are just federal, just provincial, or both. (The key to it is the fed-status and prov-status fields, which determine whether to display federal or provincial sections. It currently assumes most of the other fields exist, but I'll work on that next.)

Yes, I had planned on adding a "riding dissolved" type field. I assume listing the year is sufficient, and the text can provide greater precision. Good point about not displaying the MLA info for defunct ridings - I hadn't thought of that at all. I'll add it in. If you have any other feature suggestions, can you list them on template talk page so it doesn't get lost in the shuffle. Thanks. Mindmatrix 02:26, 9 November 2007 (UTC)

I've added documentation. It's transcluded onto the template page. Do you think I've made the usage info clear? Mindmatrix 19:27, 9 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Lorne Calvert/Brad Wall

Hey, I'm a member of the NDP just like you and I was vastly upset that Saskatchewan would elect a fascist party like the Saskatchewan Party into power. The reason I changed it is yes, Lorne Calvert will remain premier to 2-3 weeks but that still means that he will become Leader of Opposition in 2007, it pained me to edit it and I did cry a little. I'm in Manitoba so now we have the only remaining NDP government but that's until we win the next federal election User_talk:Whoneedspants 14:44pm, 8 November 2007 (UTC)

Yeah, I knew it wasn't politically motivated, I was just surprised to find that you were a member of the NDP, but I usually end up jumping the gun on editing election pages. I figure it's better for the Saskatchewan NDP to lose this election and then come time for the next election the people of Saskatchewan will be begging for the NDP to come back, and the NDP will be stronger and run a better campaign. User_talk:Whoneedspants 16:05pm, 8 November 2007 (UTC)

I agree with your reasoning. PS- I wonder if you could fix Wall's entry at the 'Saskatchewan Premiers' template, change it from (premier-elect) to just (designate). GoodDay 21:29, 8 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] LGBT WikiProject Newsletter

The LGBT studies WikiProject Newsletter

The LGBT studies WikiProject Newsletter! Issue XI - November 1, 2007 Hey, Peeps, it's that time of the month again (no not that time — get your mind out of the gutter): time for another monthly edition of the LGBT Project's Love Boat newsletter from your cruise director Miss Julie. So much has been happening this month and I just can't wait to tell you all about it!!! [edit] Alice and her harasser Let's start with some good news: Alice and the project lost the bothersome sock puppet who had been disrupting many articles we monitor, and now most of us can edit in relative peace. Congratulations, Alice, for being able to come out of semi-retirement. Benjiboi, on the other hand, has gained an anonymous IP stalker who seems to be more Catholic than the Pope and who has a hard-on for the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence. We seem to have a sort of Yin and Yang thing going on here, which helps both to keep us in balance and on our toes <bright smiles all around>. [edit] Harry Potter and his homosexual teacher Albus Dumbledore got outed this month, and was immediately adopted by our project. The international brouhaha surrounding this disclosure reached all the way to Wikiland, and his article was briefly locked due to homophobic vandalism (as well as well meaning editors who just couldn't believe that that nice man could possibly be gay). This is a wonderful article to add to your watchlist, and will surely give you hours of reverting fun on cold winter days. [edit] "My Fellow Americans" On a more serious note, Fireplace has suggested a new article series about LGBT rights in the United States, state by state. This ambitious topic will surely require many editors and a lot of research, but has the potential to add further prestige to our already prestigious project. [edit] Same name, same sexuality: a riddle for the ages Francis Bacon (not the new gay one, but the old gay one ... though they're actually both dead, now that I think about it) has also aroused passions here on Wikipedia, with editors opposing his sexuality being disclosed in his biography. The always helpful Haiduc has thoughtfully provided any number of sources, but it is slow going getting his point across. Anyone want to lend a hand? [edit] Beat writer arouses Irish guy And speaking of passions, Jack Kerouac has inflamed the senses once again with editors, including administrator Irishguy, mounting a spirited defense to keep him as heterosexual as possible for Wikipedia purposes. Why? I don't know. Perhaps some of you can drop by the talk page and ask your questions there. I feel certain a stimulating debate will ensue that will be enjoyed by all. [edit] Love those Texas Longhorns Did you know that one of our Featured articles, Lawrence v. Texas, lost its shiny gold star? That was a shocker. It has been suggested that we turn our attention to it in an effort to restore it to its former glory. I took a peek, and it does need our help badly. For our American editors, it would seem almost a civic duty to edit it (not that I'm hinting....). [edit] Point and Counterpoint Though it was far too intellectual a debate for a mere cruise director like myself to take part in, Intersexuality was certainly a hot topic a week or two ago. The thrust of the debate was over inclusion in our project. Lots of good editors had lots of good opinions. For those too lazy to check out the discussion, we decided to leave it out for now. [edit] Drudgery on offer Peer review is, as always, short staffed and seemingly unloved. Wouldn't you feel better about yourself and the world in general if you took a few minutes to read one of the listed articles and offer some helpful advice? I know I'd feel better if you did. [edit] "My Fellow Americans" redux The article LGBT movements in the United States certainly raised eyebrows last week, especially when it was discovered that copyrighted content had been added to our article. Tragedy was averted at the last minute, though, when the original hosts of the article where the material had been pilfered agreed to make it free to everyone. Our thanks to them, whoever they are. Busy Bee that I am, I haven't had time to read it, but I'm sure it's sensational. [edit] This month's Wiki stars Lesbian pulp fiction (a genre close to my heart, I must confess) writer Ann Bannon has decided to spice up the featured articles candidates list this month. Why not drop by and make your opinion heard? Joining her in this lofty aspiration are the articles But I'm a Cheerleader and Conversion therapy. I'm sure their main editors would welcome any comments (well, helpful ones, anyway) on the talk pages or the FAC discussions. And lest we forget, the List of gay, lesbian or bisexual people: Sd-Si became a Featured list!! Rah rah, siskumbah! Go, team, GO!!!! [edit] And the Oscar goes to... Not content to run for Best Actress, plucky Bannon won a Best supporting actress Oscar... whoops, I meant to say Ann is also getting more than her share of womanly attention on the Good Article list. Joining her on this exalted plane are Freddy Mercury, Waylon Smithers and Lance Bass. Good articles indeed, and the last one mentioned just goes to show that one needn't admire the subject of an article to appreciate the effort put into making him worthwhile reading. What on earth Britney ever saw in him I'll never know. Truly a riddle cloaked in an enigma and wrapped around a puzzle. [edit] Fresh faces to brighten our pages Though I may not be the first, let me extend a warm, LGBT Love Boat welcome to the 12 new members who joined us in October: Jliberty, JockCub360, ChristopherEdwards, Desiderius82, Zlrussell, Kelsied, BeardedWoof, Mujerado, Tyrfing, Fabgurrl, Redl@nds597198, and decafdyke! Whatever you choose to do here, I feel sure that your contributions will enhance our project to no end. And if they don't...well, let's just say that I'm not shy. [edit] Leather and lace On a personal note, your already overworked cruise director is being cyberly whipped almost daily by Nemissimo, who desperately wants to get the German BDSM translation copy edited and used as a replacement for the current one. It's such a ... err, stimulating topic that I am sure many of you will want to join the copy editing fun. Jump right in, folks! It's so lonely copy editing it all by my lonesome! [edit] Late breaking news A little birdie just whispered in my ear that our noble collaboration project was delisted from the Community Portal due to inactivity. When asked how this scandalous turn of events could have occurred, the answer I received was "we suck at stuff like that". Well. In the first place, I disagree that sucking should be considered a negative, but to each his or her own. In the second place, I have full confidence that we can and will collaborate with other projects in the future. So let's not view this as a setback (even though it is), but rather a challenge to improve (and good Lord, I sound almost Wikipedian!). [edit] Champagne dreams and caviar kisses Lastly, the holidays are rapidly approaching. Our American cousins are currently getting ready to slaughter masses of poultry in an effort to show their gratitude and generally peaceful demeanor, and those of the Canadian persuasion, trendsetters that they are, celebrated a bit early this year. I'm sure all us foreigners will join together in wishing them all a very happy Thanksgiving on their respective holidays, both already celebrated and forthcoming... though I would hope somebody would enlighten me as to why they don't celebrate it on the same day. I was awake all last night trying to figure that one out. In the spirit of this peculiarly North American holiday, let me take a moment to thank all of our editors for their contributions to this project. It's people like you who make people like me...well, a "people person"! May all your Wiki days be bright, and may your Love Boat never turn into a Poseidon. Kisses, Miss Julie To stop receiving this newsletter, or to receive it in a different format, please let us know here. If you have any news or any announcements to be broadcast, do let Dev920 know.

[edit] Radio templates by district - question

(link) I've made radio templates for Kenora and Rainy River districts, but Kenora has 39 communities, and navboxes can only handle 20 lists at a time (If you use the below field instead of a list to display information on the bottom); What should I do? Abandon this, remove communities with only repeaters, or make a separate First Nations or Kenora (Patricia Portion) lists? vıdıoman (talk • contribs) 18:06, 12 November 2007 (UTC)

There are too many first nations communities, I can't fit them all on one template, let alone combine the communities in Cochrane district. I might be able to fit them by ordering the communities by the NAN group they're in, and have the communities listed in a similar fashion as to how the GTA template is planned out, or do that with the 10 districts and list FN communities like the GTA template (though that will probably look awkward). vıdıoman (talk • contribs) 20:22, 13 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Bobby Morrissey

Hello Bearcat. Just letting you know, I corrected the province at the Morrissey article; Bobby was a PEI MLA. GoodDay 17:01, 13 November 2007 (UTC)

No problem. Also, Morrissey was MLA representing '1st Prince' 1982 to 1996. That info will come with the gradual expansion of the article. GoodDay 17:09, 13 November 2007 (UTC)

Agree, those former provincial districts do need articles. All the more so as they were 'dual membership' districts (each district had an Assemblyperson (MLA) and a Councillor) - Those 16 districts produced 32 legislative members. GoodDay 19:13, 13 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Templates

Hello, Bearcat. Help!

Because I didn’t first read Wikipedia’s policies (and because an equally foolish acquaintance told me it would be all right) I have done a stupid thing. I noticed that Wikipedia had several references to my writing, but no reference to me, as the author, so I went ahead and posted a couple of (neutral, I hope) lines of autobiography. This brief but ill-considered article has been somewhat wikified by other editors, but needless to say I have also been given the dreaded Conflict of Interest warning. Is there anything to be done? Is there any way the COI warning can be removed? Or am I forever doomed? Hanging my head in shame -- Eileen Kernaghan

Bearcat -- thank you! -- Eileen

With respect to your crusade against excessive templates, you, my dear sir, rock. Ground Zero | t 17:16, 13 November 2007 (UTC)

• Well, we each have our own work here. I quietly work away disambiguating links, fixing heading capitalisation, etc. I'd love help, too, but I don't bother waiting for it. Regards, Ground Zero | t 18:47, 13 November 2007 (UTC)

With regard to the Canadian federal elections articles, these now have two templates at the bottom, thanks to your good work: the "federal elections" template and the "Federal Parliaments in Canada" template. In my view, the second is not appropriate because the article relates really only to the parliament formed as a result of the election, and not to any previous or subsequent parliaments. What think you? If you agree, I will suggest this on the Canadian Wikipedians' page, ask for your support, and if there is no objection, I will undertake the removal. Regards, Ground Zero | t 00:03, 22 November 2007 (UTC)

I have now cleaned up the Canadian federal election, 1867 and subsequent election articles. It turns out that the Canadian parliaments template was embedded into the Canadian elections template. When I removed it, the 1st Canadian Parliament and subsequent articles now had only a table of elections, and not a table of parliaments, so I have fixed those articles, too. I may have been hasty about this, or bold, depending on one's perspective, so I would appreciate you keeping an eye on these articles. Thanks. Ground Zero | t 13:52, 28 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Speedy deletion of Victor Fedeli

A tag has been placed on Victor Fedeli, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G4 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be a repost of material that was previously deleted following a deletion debate, such as at articles for deletion. Under the specified criteria, where an article has substantially identical content to that of an article deleted after debate, and any changes in the content do not address the reasons for which the material was previously deleted, it may be deleted at any time.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the article (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. h i s ^{s p a c e} _{r e s e a r c h} 04:24, 15 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Possible edit war beginning

Hi Bearcat. At the Teiaiagon article, we have a possible edit war beginning. Loganelm2001 have done an edit since you were there that was POV; in the process of verification, I edited good share of the contribution. However, since then the user has done additional edits. I have not yet checked if I can verify, but the user seems quite anti-Mississauga in tone. Since you're physically there where you may have resources, would you keep tabs on the article and ensure that user maintains the NPOV and verifiability, while curbing any possible edit wars? Thanks. -- CJLippert (talk) 20:07, 16 November 2007 (UTC)

Hey... a faviour to ask. Could you please look in at CFML-FM? The article was moved to VF2448 as an editor claimed the call sign was changed to that designation.

[edit] Radio templates

Anyway -- I've created Template:Rainy River Radio and Template:Kenora Radio, you can give them the once over. I'm still waiting on a reply about the First Nations radio stations. See: User talk:Bearcat#Radio templates by district - question for an explanation. Thanks. vıdıoman (talk • contribs) 23:25, 18 November 2007 (UTC)

• also* For articles where a station appears in two markets via repeaters, do we add the templates from each market or just the market from which it originates? vıdıoman (talk • contribs) 23:30, 18 November 2007 (UTC)

Grouping by station is something I thought of before but it doesn't really fit the norm. I guess there isn't much of an option, though. I rearranged the order of Kenora and Thunder Bay to put the main cities on top. Rainy River doesn't have many cities so I just left it. vıdıoman (talk • contribs) 23:48, 18 November 2007 (UTC)

How does this look? vıdıoman (talk • contribs) 01:42, 19 November 2007 (UTC)

Another method I thought of was similar to Template:Global warming; All CIDE rebroadcasters are at 91.9, All CKWT rebroadcasters are either 89.9 or 90.1 with one exception, so we could use the format where there is a sub section to divide those and just list the cities and their call signs, that might be less confusing. What do you think? vıdıoman (talk • contribs) 01:49, 19 November 2007 (UTC)

I can think of a few other templates where that kind of arrangement might be a good idea, actually :-)

Let me know which ones and I can help you out when I finish with this. vıdıoman (talk • contribs) 01:59, 19 November 2007 (UTC)

19 November

I created the article Hudson, Kenora District, Ontario, it's a community west of Sioux Lookout, and most references on Wiki were referring to that community, not the township in Tim.

Since we're using a new layout for the First Nations articles, I'll make it "Radio stations in First Nations communities in Northwestern Ontario" instead. Northeastern Ontario has less First Nations and I don't think it has broad FN radio networks like the NW, so NE FNs should be ok to go into district templates.

I removed First Nations from the Kenora, Rainy River, and Thunder Bay radio templates. Rainy River's template is down to just two lists, which makes it second smallest after Tim, but Tim has an odd layout. Should I leave it as it is or style it like Tim Radio? I was thinking of merging it with Kenora but Kenora is too big and that doesn't really fit in with the system we've got.

[edit] Weakerthans

Hi Bearcat. Regarding your revert here, though I agree that Exclaim! is usually an acceptable source, in this case the link I removed is to a video that is not really informative at all and adds nothing to the article.

[edit] List of Radio Stations

Hi Bearcat, it looks like that you've been busy lately. I still from time to time update some of the listing of radio stations across the country and the other day, I had deleted CKSO-FM at 101.1 in Greater Sudbury from the List of radio stations in Ontario, since that station has been defunct for more than a year now. I have added a few new stations to the list and here are the following:

• FM 101.7 CKJC, tourist information Greater Sudbury, Ontario. This station went on the air sometime this month (November 2007).

• FM 93.5 - CKXC, country music Kingston, Ontario

• FM 106.5 - CB??, CBC Radio One Brockville, Ontario (CRTC approval on November 22, 2007)[14]

• FM 107.9 CHUC, classic hits Coburg, Ontario (This station is currently listed in the list of radio stations in Ontario, however, their old AM 1450 signal went off the air for good on November 7th, 2007).

I believe that's pretty much it for now. Take care and all the best! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 208.96.127.101 (talk) 21:45, 22 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Merges into Walden, Ontario

Just a question about a few recent edits you've made... was there an AfD on the communities and ghost towns that were merged into the Walden, Ontario article, or was merging them just a matter of individual preference? --Scani (talk) 20:37, 29 November 2007 (UTC)

Seems fair enough. Under the same rationale, articles for neighbourhoods in the city proper such as Lo-Ellen, Donovan, etc. have little to no expansion potential beyond one- to two-line stubs. I'm thinking of doing something similar with them; they can be spun back off into their own articles if it becomes appropriate to do so. --Scani (talk) 21:59, 29 November 2007 (UTC)

That's pretty much exactly what I had in mind. ;) Said content can and should be merged into the "List of communities in Greater Sudbury" article, which already links from the Greater Sudbury article proper. --Scani (talk) 00:16, 30 November 2007 (UTC)

This is a tough call. Considering the current organization of the Neighbourhoods category template of breaking it down into the pre-existing communities prior to amalgamation, I would say either leave it as is (considering Wanup is pretty much a one-off) or, if consistency is more desired, move it into a "formerly unincorporated townships" (annexed into Greater Sudbury in 2001) article. --Scani (talk) 00:51, 30 November 2007 (UTC)

these got split off into different articles, neither of which really justifies it (and Night Drive doesn't exist, anyway, it was 'Night Ride'), but I am having an obsessive thing about the show right now, and was thinking of remerging them and really polishing them up, adding screen shots, the work.

[edit] CFML

I first found this CFML call sign change on local radio discussion. forum[15] I did a search on Google for VF2448 which brought up 3 references that stated a radio station from Burnaby is broadcasting at 107.9 with VF2448 as it's call sign. A quick search on Industry Canada reveals both CFML and VF2448 are used and owned by BCIT. CFML reveals its frequency is on 0.94 MHz, which doesn't make sense as CFML is a FM radio station and that frequency is used for international broadcasts. A search of VF2448 brings up a frequency of 107.9 MHz. I think the best way is to contact that radio station to see what it's real call signs are. --~Pikachu9000 07:15, 1 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Regarding the election infoboxes

Bearcat, Here are the reason why I object to the usage of Template:Infobox Election and would prefer something alsong the lines of Template:Infobox ontario election or Template:Infobox canadian election:

1. Template:Infobox Election fits at least half the width of the page on a 15.4 screen and is probably a lot more on a lower resolution or smaller screen.
2. Template:Infobox Election is POV in the sense that it only lists the major parties before, on and after the election
   1. Therefore I am stating that Template:Infobox ontario election and Template:Infobox canadian election are much more NPOV as they state the basic facts of the elections, such as election date, when the writ was dropped, the number of campaign days, the number of seats contested, the imcumbent and their status (majority/minority), the result, and the registered parties in alphabetical order as to avoid singling out the "major" parties or singling out the "minor" parties; this way it avoids determining who is favoured to win as an election is often full of surprises and Wikipedia is not here to determine the results.

Those are my point so far, there are probably more I can list.  Avec nat...Wikipédia Prends Des Forces.  10:50, 3 December 2007 (UTC)

To be honest, it has nothing to do with ownership nor does my reaction have anything to do with the fact that I created the two alternative infoboxes. My point is that the infobox is way too cumbersome. A good infobox should be only between 20.5em and 22.5 em, without any horizontal growth or expansion, anything larger than 22.5em will not accommodate, nor will it cater to all the viewer or contributors, and it just seems that the infobox is overtaking the screen and the text which its not suppose to. Infobox are suppose to accompany the text as Harmony accompanies melody, and as such the infobox should not overtake the text just as the Harmony should never overtake the melody.  Avec nat...Wikipédia Prends Des Forces.  22:11, 3 December 2007 (UTC)

Jesus loves you one and all, so let's curl up around the fire, sing some carols, drink some egg nog, and have a gay old time.

Santa needs elves Urgent Christmas appeal Surrender, Dorothy!!!!!!! Ambrosia Christmas came early You! Quelle Suprise! King James is a Queen! Our dear Haiduc, never a stranger to controversy, recently decided to delve into the wardrobe of the British Monarchy, and what did he discover? King James had more than appreciative eyes for strapping young men! Naturally, Haiduc felt the need to share this news with the community, but instead of being praised for his scholarship, he was reviled. In fact, one rabid heterocentrist even rummaged around in his own wardrobe until he found an old pair of socks to play with. All seemed lost until astute editor Jeffpw noticed some odd postings and did some sleuthing of his own. The socks were uncovered, the Wicked Witch was melted and readers the world over were able to learn that Good King James regularly ordered tube steak from the menu of the day. Thank you, Haiduc! Thank you, Jeff! And let Miss Julie add (for readers who might not know) that tube steak tastes just like chicken! It's Britney, Bitch! Well, maybe it's not Miss Thang, herself, but it's the next best thing: Chris Crocker! he stirs up just about as much controversy as his idol does, even here on Wikipedia. Though it's all a bit of a muddle, one of our editors hopes you can drop by the talk page and leave a message of hope for those battling the forces of obstructionism in that little corner of the Wiki World.

Just enough for a Burger King dinner for the family. Still, the thought is nice and the goal is noble, so we should support it. Our little Queer beehive has taken a look at what's on offer, and both the Greek Traditionalists and Daughters of Bilitis are well represented. The ever useful SatyrTN has made a little list, which can be found here (if that malignant bot hasn't archived it already, that is). So find a pal, roll up your sleeves and dive right in. Let's show this Encyclopedia just what Queers with firecrackers up their....err, I mean, let's show the others what we can do. Jón Þór Birgisson I can't pronounce his name, but he's awfully cute, he's deliciously foreign, and best of all...he's GAY! But he won't be for long, if certain users have their way. A concerted effort has been under way for a while now, designed to neuter poor Jon (pretend I put a little accent thingy over that O) and make him into a sort of rockin' Ken doll. So please watchlist this hunka man, and keep him queer! If anybody questions you, tell them "Miss Julie sent me". TranSanta Everybody loves a sequel Readers not afflicted with Alzheimer's will remember that last month we had a little story about Alice and her harasser. That proved so popular that we bring you the sequel: Benjiboi and his stalker. After a chance meeting at the Michael Lucas article, this anonymous user took a shine to our Benjiboi, and has been showering him with attention on virtually every board on Wikipedia. Flattered though he is, Benjiboi finds the attention a bit distracting, and administrators have been seeking various remedies for this. It has proven difficult, as the stalker has an IP address that changes quicker than Superman in a telephone booth. So perhaps some of you would like to watchlist Benjiboi's page, and lend a hand if you see some love letters from an 11 digit friend. I was actually thinking we should get Alice's harasser and Benjiboi's stalker together. Then we could have another sequel, sort of like Freddy vs. Jason. Any bets as to who would win??

Giving our plucky Ann reason to hope is the recent promotion of List of gay, lesbian or bisexual people: Sa-Sc.

And I would be remiss if I did not give a warm, Lesbian salute to our own Belovedfreak, who showed Wikipedia with But I'm a Cheerleader that even pom poms are no protection from the Love that dare not speak its name, and got a gold star for her efforts.

Best of luck, Tim, and remember: there are no small parts, only small actors. We're sure you'll be trading that green circle for a gold star soon (assuming you get the green in the first place!). Santa's on his gay way! Santa needs elves Yes, I know: packages need buying, trees need trimming, egg nog needs drinking. The holidays make many demands on our time. It's ...well, it's a bitch, is what it is. So I wouldn't blame you for skipping this little section and putting off my request until next year. But...think of the children. Our future. They need quality information about the homosexual "lifestyle" if we are to indoctrinate them properly. That's why I am asking you to drop by our Peer review area and give your meaning as to the efforts of your fellow gay Wikipedians. And think: in this season of kindness and good will to all, isn't it nice that I am pointing you to someplace where you can (in a Wikiloving way, of course) rip someone a new asshole? Think about it...and those children with their shiny, bright eyes, thanking you for contributing to their future. Even more festively, consider joining in on the deletion discussions of our favorite articles. Here you can bandy about such words as "homophobia", "Right-wing Christian agenda" and my personal favorite, "just who do you think you're pushing around?!?!?".

She's an old dead poet (Miss Bishop, not Tovojolo. I've never actually met Tovojolo. She's probably very young and attractive. Maybe somebody should ask if she's single), but she was a flaming homosexual long before most of us had even been conceived, so we owe her some respect. Tovojolo actually asked me for the last newsletter, but Miss Julie forgot. Bad Miss Julie. She was so busy boosting morale it just slipped right by her. Nemissimo, maybe you need to crack that whip again to get Julie back in line. Surrender, Dorothy!!!!!!! Friend of Dorothy has attracted the attention of a group of....the more senior elements of our gay society. They disagree with our thesis that Saint Judy was the possible source of the term, and demand we change the article to reflect their contention that Dorothy Parker was the origin. The problem is, their source didn't check out. So we agreed to disagree. Well, we at the project did. They got kinda mad at us, said unkind things, and started edit warring. Though they are old, they are certainly quick, and could revert the article faster than my nimble fingers could press the undo button. To quote the divine Miss Parker, every time I saw the article on my watchlist, I thought to myself, "What fresh hell is this?". The page was protected by sympathetic administrators, but keeping an eye on it will keep Dorothy safe from future Wicked Witches of the West or East. Ambrosia Our dear Benjiboi has been busy indeed, lately. He recently made fruit salad out of Fruit, turning a once nasty word into a damn good article, and saving it from deletion! Congratulations, Benjiboi! I hear he has turned his attention from fruit to poultry now. Before he is through, he will have turned every major food group gay on Wikipedia! Christmas came early Yes, indeed! Valued administrator WJBscribe was raised out of the mire of mid-level management and placed squarely into the Pantheon of Bureaucracy! And Miss Julie is just too proud of him not to mention that he got the most support votes in the history of Wikipedia! Congratulations, WJB! We know you will not prove the Peter Principle correct! You! Yes, you! It's you who make this project shine! It's you who make Wikipedia such a valuable resource for all humanity! And it's you who make Miss Julie's dull life just a little bit better. So I want to take this moment to thank each and every one of you for all you do here. Merry Christmas, everybody! Happy Hanukkah! Festive Kwanzaa! Delirious Dong Zhi! Delicious Diwali! And for our oppressed Iranian brothers and sisters, I wish you a safe and joyous Yalda. And if I didn't mention your favorite December holiday, well, it's because I feel it's so special I should just keep it between you and me. Always remember: You light up my life!

I wondered about that... You're not the kind of person to create miscellaneous cats willy-nilly :) -- SatyrTN (talk | contribs) 17:06, 6 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Howard Hampton photo

Is it just me, or is this the scariest picture you have ever seen of a politician? I mean, it is a very unflattering picture—it almost makes Stephen Harper look human. Any chance of getting a better one? vıdıoman (talk • contribs) 21:40, 7 December 2007 (UTC)

Politicians are scary. You would think someone on their staff would release a flatting picture of the candidate to public domain for this thing. vıdıoman (talk • contribs) 22:06, 7 December 2007 (UTC)

Let us be thankful that they did not procreate. :) vıdıoman (talk • contribs) 22:20, 7 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Elizabeth Quarshie‎

Thank you! I was just trying to re-write an essay article submitted by a new user, and no...I didn't realise that I gave her the wrong embodiment by adding her to the politicians work group. -Thank you for fixing it. Now I need to ask the new user to qualify his sources, as it is again be prodded for deletion, and I can't find sources for his facts anywhere. So it may go away anyway. SriMesh | talk 00:45, 8 December 2007 (UTC)

Thanks again - I understand more about civil servants - as she is fairly new - she hasn't done anything stupendous as of yet that I can find, besides that which is listed - so I think - even though she impressed User talk:Ojoemmanuel enormously, and it was interesting for me to read about her... her article will probably disappear then. Kind Regards SriMesh | talk 02:43, 8 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Historical townships / municipalities

Hi. Further to our discussion about the former munis of Greater Sudbury, I noticed that you've redirected some other former municipal articles. Specifically, Aldborough Township, Ontario now redirects to West Elgin, Ontario. I was wondering if it wouldn't make more sense to redirect them to the article on the county - I did this with Dover Township, Ontario - the difference in that case is that the Kent County is a historical county whereas Elgin County is still around. However, the townships were usually surveyed at the same time and the history of the county is generally wrapped up in the townships. Each county could have a section for "original townships" (and redirects for those townships leading to that page) as well as a list of current municipalities. The advantage I guess would be consistency - in a case like Dover, the info in the stub wouldn't make it to the Chatham-Kent page, so the County page seems to be a good place to put it. I was thinking of doing something similar with the townships in Ontario County, Ontario. Thoughts? Blotto adrift (talk) 18:00, 17 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Stub sorting

I've just moved about 140 articles out of cat:"Broadcasting stubs" to a more relevant or more specific stub. Heck, I even found a couple of stray US radio stations in that pile (which is what I'd gone looking for in the first place) so it was worth the trip. As I have free time over the next few days I'll see how much more precisely I can file some of these articles. Oh, and thanks for the assist on the Puerto Rico radio station stub category. - Dravecky (talk) 02:49, 20 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Radio stubs

For what it's worth, we're actually quite lacking in articles on radio stations in the Caribbean

Sad, another exaple of systemic bias perhaps. Still, we usually at least have regional stub templates once we start splitting these things up - and in the Americas that usually means separate templates for North, South, Central and Caribbean. Grutness...wha? 05:42, 21 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] So what am I to do?

I left several comments on the Wikipedia:Main Page/Errors, which were supported by an FVasconcelos who is an admin. FVasconcelos just does not want to do the correction for some conflict of interest considerations. Are there any other admins around to say Yes or No? What am I to do? This has to be done promptly since this is feature of the day article. Paul gene (talk) 15:05, 21 December 2007 (UTC)

Thank you very much. Sorry for having used a guerilla actions. Nobody was paying any attention. With deep gratitude Paul gene (talk) 15:17, 21 December 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading Image:Tqs-logo.gif. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media 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 media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

[edit] CBC Radio 3

Hi Bearcat! While looking for refs for 13 Engines, I noticed that the CBC Radio 3 bio is a copy including wikilinks, though I didn't see a backlink to wikipedia authorship. I noticed on your user page that there was a inside the cbc blog on your writing about the mother corp on wikipedia but I didn't see anything about your writing for the mother corp from wikipedia. Since it's almost entirely your authorship (I believe someone changed a were to a was along the way before it was copied to cbc), I'm kinda hoping you are getting pay from cbc to write their indie bios. I was tempted to put an external link on the article to radio3.cbc.ca/bands/13-Engines since it does have some singles on there but it's pretty weird to see the same prose on that page. What do you think about all this? DoubleBlue (Talk) 18:13, 22 December 2007 (UTC)

I'm disappointed that you're not getting paid for your work. Perhaps you should approach them that you can continue to write for them for an increase in pay. :-)

I understand what you're saying about the GFDL, though, strictly, they should have credited wikipedia for authorship. What do you think about including the CBC 3 bio in the external links to our article? Is it too disconcerting to see the same text there or does the availability of another source and links to singles overpower that? Cheers! DoubleBlue (Talk) 20:19, 22 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] David Miller Edit War

There's a long running tit for tat battle going on in the David Miller (Canadian politician) article between User:CJCurrie and User:GoldDragon. Someone needs to intervene. Atrian (talk) 15:56, 23 December 2007 (UTC)

The issue needs some administrator to step in. Can you give this to someone else? I can't think of any other Canadian admin's off the top of my head. Atrian (talk) 16:14, 23 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Sources on Evil reptilian kitten-eater from another planet

Hey :) Hope you don't mind the notification here, I noticed that you were in Toronto and involved in the politics articles. Just did a drive-by on that article and found a couple of sources which may be of use - have chucked them up on the talk page for consideration. I'm looking up sources all the time for Australian politics articles so if you ever need something checked feel free to let me know (even by email if need be - I read it several times a day).

[edit] Don Meredith

Can you please have a look at the article about Don Meredith (Canadian clergyman). There is a disagreement between User Reginald Perrin and User Kibomt about sourcing of some material that relates to the dismissal of Mark Warner (Canadian politician) and the sourcing of som of the biographical details relating to Don Meredith. A second opinion would be useful. The debate is summarized on the Talk page and in the edit history. Thanks. --Kibomt (talk) 01:34, 30 December 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for your input on the Warner issue. I respect your position, but disagree slightly. Can you also have a look at the dispute in relation to whether there is adequate support for whether the "Alliance" currently consists of anyone other than Meredith, Meredith's ordonation or not, and whether Meredith actually currently has a church in Richmond Hill? --Kibomt (talk) 18:27, 30 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] List of radio stations in Ontario

Bearcat, I haven't really done anymore work on the List of Radio Stations in Ontario and may not be, unless there's a new radio station, format change...anything is possible. The last radio station I did was CFNP-FM 90.1 from Naicatchewenin, Ontario and I don't know what the company name is for that station, so I left the field blank. You're right it is a tedious job and it's hard to say when it will be all complete. Do you plan on doing all of the Canadian Provinces in the same format you did to Ontario? So hard to believe it's already the very last day of the year 2007 and we are going on 2008 in less than 24 hours and yes another year gone by! I hope you had a great Christmas and I would like to wish you all the best in the New Year! Take care. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.167.226.200 (talk) 05:47, 31 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] CKLM-FM

Lloydminster is a very weird and nearly unique situation — it's a city which has a provincial boundary running right through the middle of it. (And it's not two separate cities with the same name, either: it's a single city under biprovincial jurisdiction.) So I don't know how you could really make the determination that CKLM is located in Alberta, and only heard in Saskatchewan, considering that its city of license is located in both provinces simultaneously. YMMV, I guess. Bearcat (talk) 22:32, 31 December 2007 (UTC)

The CRTC uses Lloydminster, Alberta in its decisions concerning this station, and its ownership has always been based in Alberta. That's sufficient for me to make the call. Caerwine Caer’s whines 23:18, 31 December 2007 (UTC)
