Re:Teletoon

Ha, are you kidding me, I was improving on the article which is very choppy with info placed in random spots where it doesn't need to be, I was making it more orderly, what r u the boss of how Teletoon should be written or something? MusiMax 05:51, 8 February 2007 (UTC)

I was uploading a better quality picture to the article, the one that is in use is bad quality, the person who edited it obviously can't edit a simple picture. Look closely and you'll see there is a chunk took out of the "T" at the top. Granted it is minor but none-the-less it is still messed up. My picture is a true quality.

NS highway shields

The province of Nova Scotia does not use the Provincial Highway Shields for Nova Scotia leg of the Trans-Canada Highway.

My bad. I saw the original shield for Nova Scotia Highway 102, and I thought it looked kinda crappy so I used it as an excuse to play around with Inkscape. After I made one, it was easy to make a bunch more, so I made one for every NS highway article. Cmprince 05:48, 9 February 2007 (UTC)

Hi Cavenba. I was about to go propose the deletion of the troublesome shields, but I see you're a step ahead of me. Does Nova Scotia use the same format for 104, 105, and 106 that you proposed on the "NS-105" deletion page, or is that just for 104? I might have a go at making that shield into an SVG. -Cmprince 01:03, 8 March 2007 (UTC)
Me again. Please take a look at Nova Scotia Highway 104 and let me know if you have any comments on the new shield. It's PNG, not SVG (the wiki software didn't want to render it properly), but I an SVG copy is also uploaded if you want to play around with it. I'll go ahead and make one for 105 and 106 if you don't find any problems with 104. Thanks! -Cmprince 04:00, 8 March 2007 (UTC)
OK, we're getting closer, I think. Changed from the BC highway guide green to forest green (more like the original 104 image you linked to). -Cmprince 04:19, 8 March 2007 (UTC)
Done, at Image:TCHshield.png. Thanks for the feedback... -Cmprince 04:37, 8 March 2007 (UTC)
At risk of sounding slightly obsessive, is there supposed to be a hyphen in "TRANS-CANADA"? The British Columbia standards show a hyphen, but a photo on eBay shows a New Brunswick sign without one. -Cmprince 05:08, 8 March 2007 (UTC)
Fixed. Thanks for your help! If you need any other shields or modifications, drop me a message! -Cmprince 00:57, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

SmuPicture Copyright

What would you recommend to change the license to then? There is no allowance, for a Canadian Crown/Public domain so where would you suggest to put it? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Lord of Haha (talk • contribs) 19:22, 11 February 2007 (UTC).

YouTube Atheist revert

Do you want to at least give a reason for the reversion? The story of the Nick Gisburne banning leading to a video pull of Anangel13 then of RabidApe is convoluted and is best explained by the people who it is happening to. Hence a lot of the citations are just links to YT videos.—Preceding unsigned comment added by Qed (talk • contribs)

I too would like to have a reason as to why this was reverted. The material I removed was entirely unencyclopedic. Please enter into a discussion on the article's discussion page.GravityExNihilo 04:02, 22 February 2007 (UTC)

John Wesley Powell

Your recent revert of my edit caught me in the middle of trying to get at a botched vandalism revert by an anon. Are you running a bot here or do you not follow up on your reverts, especially when implying an admin is vandalising a page. Now please check the recent history there to see what was happening. I appreciate your vandalism fighting efforts, but would suggest that you check the facts a bit closer before adding your canned message to my or another experienced users page. Thanks, Vsmith 00:57, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

List of The Most Extreme Episodes

Do not write an article about the episodes of a program if the program article already has the episodes written in it. It makes no sense. Radical3 02:58, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

Thank you

Thank you for your efforts to improve Wikipedia, including tagging inappropriately created pages for deletion. I just deleted a page that you tagged with the note "see What Wikipedia is NOT". That was a correct tag but in this particular instance, the page contained nothing but personal attacks on a non-notable person and therefore could have been tagged as db-attack (see WP:Attack page) instead or in addition. Normally it doesn't matter so much which tag you use because the reviewing administrator will review the page and make his or her own judgment anyway, but in the case of attack pages it does help to use that tag, because that type of pages is considered very serious and they are listed a special category that we check frequently for prompt deletion. I hope this information is helpful and please let me know if you have any questions. Newyorkbrad 03:20, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

Orphaned fair use image (Image:Sue_Uhren.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:Sue_Uhren.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 under fair use (see our fair use policy).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any fair use images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. — Rebelguys2 talk 05:04, 24 February 2007 (UTC)

School editing pages

Regarding User 203.47.250.138, it is a public IP of a school. There are many students that attend this school. It would be great if it could be permanently blocked from editing wikipedia, but as wikipedia is a well used source for school research, we would still need to retain read privledges. How would I go about getting an edit block? 203.47.250.138 04:26, 26 February 2007 (UTC)

Interruption

I was talking to One Night In Hackney, please do not interrupt. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 129.96.142.10 (talk) 23:59, 4 March 2007 (UTC).

He's a long term vandal on Craig Charles who I repeatedly get blocked from a variety of IPs. Thanks. One Night In Hackney303 00:05, 5 March 2007 (UTC)

West Pictou Consolidated School

Subject school has been reverted from Nachomania's move to the above. I don't know if you really want to drop the word "school" as your requested move states: the website you link to and the legend on the front of the school both include the word "school". If you still wish to move, please amend your request accordingly. If not, tant mieux! --SigPig |SEND - OVER 04:20, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

North America (Americas) delete review

Thanks for voting and expressing your opinion about the article North America (Americas). As you know the debate was closed, and the result was "to delete it". Since I, as the creator of the article, thought the decision was hasty and wrong, I opened a to review the deletion.

This mean that administrators and regular editors can vote again and, most importantly, argument why the decision was wrong or right. Please, take a look at this and express your opinion:

Thanks for your time reading this message. AlexCovarrubias ( Let's talk! ) 22:56, 13 March 2007 (UTC)

WP:UW future?

Hi, Sorry for the blatant spam, but you have yourself down as interested at WikiProject user warnings WP:UW. There is a discussion on going here that might be of interest to you about the future of this project. There are two strawpolls on the talk pages and the second one is about the future of the WP:UW project. Now we have the end in sight we are looking at wrapping up the project and merging it with Template messages/User talk namespace WP:UTM and creating a one stop shop for all userspace template issue. As you have yourself down as interested in this project we thought you may have some input on this issue, and would like you to visit the discussion and give any thoughts you may have on the matter.

Help with RFC

Hello fellow Wikipedia:WikiProject_Nova_Scotia member. I have recently lodged a Request for Comments on the Talk:Halifax, Nova Scotia page. I and several other editors have had a running dispute with user Lonewolf BC. The RFC is This is a dispute about whether it is accurate to continue to refer to the area of or approximately coinciding with the boundaries of the City of Halifax, which became a part of the rural/urban Halifax Regional Municipality in 1996, as a city.

Basically, as I say on the RFC, we all agree that this is no longer a City, but to use former City's boundaries when describing the current urban area as a "city" (note the lower case) is at best arbitrary and at worst a fabrication. The city is now a continuous area that wraps the harbour, from Portuguese Cove (outside of the city of Halifax to the west and south) to Cole Harbour (outside of the former City of Dartmouth to the east). People now refer to the entire urban area of Halifax Regional Municipality as 'the city' and 'Halifax'.

Anyway, the bottom line is at least five people have tried to change the wording of the intro since January, and every time this one user changes it back. I have tried to come up with compromise wording, and he won't dialog. Right now wikipedia says HRM and Halifax are the capital of Nova Scotia. This article is now factually incorrect, in my opinion, and I need your help, please chime in. WayeMason 23:08, 7 April 2007 (UTC)

Binary prefixes

You removed binary prefixes where they were relevant. Please take a look at WP:MOSNUM. Sarenne 08:17, 23 April 2007 (UTC)

Cavenba, I think you correctly removed the binary prefixes from that article and gave the correct reason for doing so. What the user above has not mentioned is that this specific issue is being discussed here Wikipedia_talk:Manual of Style (dates and numbers)#Conflict with Manual of Style. Fnagaton 14:44, 23 April 2007 (UTC)

Please stop removing binary prefixes until MoS is changed. Sarenne 08:43, 24 April 2007 (UTC)

This editor does not have to stop making changes they see as incorrect. Fnagaton 10:16, 24 April 2007 (UTC)
Yes, he has to, until the MoS is changed. He was right to make the change if he thought it was improving the encyclopedia but now he knows what are the current guidelines. Sarenne 10:24, 24 April 2007 (UTC)
You cite the MoS and so this is a conflict of style. The MoS is very clear on conflicts of style and it says the original style should be used in those situations. The editor correctly made the change. Fnagaton 10:33, 24 April 2007 (UTC)
Again ? You really have a problem with understanding guidelines... For the last time, the original style should be used if there's a conflict about a style and if the MOS does not clearly indicate what is the preferred style. Sarenne 10:40, 24 April 2007 (UTC)
That is not true. I also remind you that you need to be civil. Fnagaton 10:45, 24 April 2007 (UTC)
