[edit] Surrey - Misc

Where do you think the right place would be for the sister cities to go? Geography? Or make something like Vancouver#Affiliated Cities?

I have no idea what to do with the kabbadi stadium as it's not ref'd.

(Reply on your talk, I'll watch) Franamax (talk) 13:47, 12 January 2008 (UTC)

Turns out I was WP:BOLD instead - I'd welcome your review of the changes I made to Surrey, British Columbia. Franamax (talk) 14:30, 12 January 2008 (UTC)
Your edits look good. I made a few changes. --Kmsiever (talk) 15:30, 12 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Duotang

I notice that you have edited Duotang. I'd be grateful if you could keep an eye on it because there is an anon IP address that keeps adding nonsensical unreferenced stories into it. Thanks. Hu (talk) 23:50, 21 January 2008 (UTC)

Sure thing. --Kmsiever (talk) 00:12, 22 January 2008 (UTC)
Dear concerned citizen(s), the information that I added was actually gathered from the diaries of one Miguel Weebles. I purchased these diaries in an antique store in Geneva back in the spring of 2004. I would ask you please instead of dismissing my long hours of translating and research, to advise me how to cite the 300 year old diaries as a source on wiki? --Weeber —Preceding comment was added at 05:32, 22 January 2008 (UTC)
Can you provide us with some sort of proof these diaries exist, other than your word? As you can see in Wikipedia's policy on verifiability, the source needs to be published. --Kmsiever (talk) 16:02, 22 January 2008 (UTC)
Wikipedia is not a repository for original research. I sense a wind-up here, since Weebles = Weeber. Other details in the story are weak attempts at humor. I advise playing your games in a blog. Hu (talk) 21:59, 22 January 2008 (UTC)

I know it is just a small thing, but thank you for a good job of craftsmanship on the Duotang article, and thanks for keeping an eye on it. Hu (talk) 22:12, 1 February 2008 (UTC)

No problem. --Kmsiever (talk) 23:04, 1 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] 2008 presidential election

Please refrain from edit warring 2008 presidential election. Thank you--IceFrappe (talk) 21:17, 14 February 2008 (UTC)

One could say the same to you. FYI, I have requested for comment at WP:RFC. Hopefully, other editors can help us reach an agreement. I tried to make the request as neutral and balanced as possible. --Kmsiever (talk) 21:35, 14 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Neighbourhoods

Since you've commented on WP:CANSTYLE before, I was wondering if you have any thoughts on Wikipedia talk:Canadian Wikipedians' notice board/Style guide#Neighbourhoods? Skeezix1000 (talk) 19:39, 11 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Looking for Wikipedians for a User Study

Hello. I am a graduate student in the Department of Computer Science and Engineering at the University of Minnesota. We are conducting research on ways to engage content experts on Wikipedia. Previously, Wikipedia started the Adopt-a-User program to allow new users to get to know seasoned Wikipedia editors. We are interested in learning more about how this type of relationship works. Based on your editing record on Wikipedia, we thought you might be interested in participating. If chosen to participate, you will be compensated for your time. We estimate that most participants will spend an hour (over two weeks on your own time and from your own computer) on the study. To learn more or to sign up contact KATPA at CS dot UMN dot EDU or User:KatherinePanciera/WPMentoring. Thanks. KatherinePanciera (talk) 02:09, 2 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] References

Thanks for making the change, I've noticed this previous "issue" is popping up again on some Canadian articles. Hope you are well. Michellecrisp (talk) 11:53, 5 May 2008 (UTC)

No problem. I am well, actually. My wife and I celebrate 13 years together today actually. :) --Kmsiever (talk) 17:09, 5 May 2008 (UTC)
congrats! lucky you. My husband and I are yet to reach that! ...actually the references and notes thing is happening again...I've just had to revert. Michellecrisp (talk) 23:56, 5 May 2008 (UTC)


[edit] Lethbridge Transit

You created this article and I recently added an infobox & logo and the new Template:Public Transit Systems in Canada. What we really need now is a nice bus picture and since you live there perhaps you can find someone to contibute. I am working on creating an article for every current public transit system in Canada and obviously I will have to rely on some local help. A final thought on the address that I entered as 4th Avenue, which I obtained from the Ride Guide, and you changed to 4 Avenue. Is that the official street name and postal address or is it just local usage? -Secondarywaltz (talk) 18:54, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

I will take a look at my photos. I may have a photo to use, but I don't know how good any of them are. The official street name is 4 Avenue. Local usage is 4th Avenue. --Kmsiever (talk) 20:38, 4 June 2008 (UTC)
Here's a picture. [1] --Kmsiever (talk) 20:51, 4 June 2008 (UTC)
It's not what I originally had in mind; more a sort of bus portrait. This picture is better for the overall article in that it tells a story about the downtown transfer point. I uploaded Image:Guelph Transit 02.JPG, which shows a similar 'meeting place' in Guelph, Ontario. Would it be okay if I download your picture to Wikimedia Commons, with the proper attribution of course? -Secondarywaltz (talk) 21:51, 4 June 2008 (UTC)
How about these? [2][3] All 3 photos are in Creative Commons. --Kmsiever (talk) 00:38, 5 June 2008 (UTC)
Thank you Kim. -Secondarywaltz (talk) 12:07, 5 June 2008 (UTC)

Wikipedia would not allow me to upload the two recent picures from Flickr because "Author is using NC, ND, or all rights reserved." I have used the one you took a couple of years ago of downtown and I think it does add to the article. -Secondarywaltz (talk) 00:47, 7 June 2008 (UTC)

That doesn't make any sense. I specifically changed it. Weird. --Kmsiever (talk)
Thanks - that one is better. -Secondarywaltz (talk) 14:55, 7 June 2008 (UTC)
