[edit] Portal talk:Vancouver

There is a new comment on the above talk page...Portal British Columbia has been updated with rotational articles, images, biographies, DYK, introduction, what have you, and a robotic server delivering the news. Did you want the same done for this portal? It could be set up preserving the voting - suggestion status that this portal started with, or eliminating the voting altogether with just rotating feature and GA class articles. With the rotation,...if the input becomes inactive for a short time, the portal still shows new fresh content on the main page, until more items are added and there are no red links then.SriMesh | talk 21:13, 13 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Hollywood North

Thanks for your note; that article has certainly had enough battles in the past with the "DEYS" affair. Accordingly, I've proposed what I feel is a possible solution at the talk page; please let me know what you think. Thanks again. --Ckatzchatspy 00:18, 31 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Hollywood North

I would like to get your opinion on some information that I would like to add to the Hollywood North article. I would like to know if it would be allowed to add a couple of short sentences in the Canada-section of that article where I make reference to Hamilton, Ontario's film production numbers being on the rise and as well if I find anything that makes references to it being part of the Hollywood North in Canada along with citations supplied for it?

[edit] Re: Break a Leg

So do a lot of other Russian descendants. Unless you have solid evidence it's a WP:COI, I wouldn't use that as an argument, or, if you do, just point out that it's a possible conflict of interest. Redfarmer (talk) 09:11, 5 February 2008 (UTC)

I'm only pointing out that, without a user page, there is not direct evidence that this is the person. It could be another Russian or a fan. My "responsibility" is to weigh the evidence as I see it and right now I think you're generalizing. Is it the creator? Possibly. Neither of us know that for sure though. P.S. Chill out and assume good faith. Redfarmer (talk) 09:20, 5 February 2008 (UTC)
I always assume good faith when editing. Perhaps 'tone' was an issue as text can be very easily misinterpreted over the internet. I was simply stating that it was blatantly obvious that the creator of the article was the same as the person in it as not only was it a single purpose editor but the user name and last name matched.

[edit] Comment from User:FACT NEEDED

I think your action of removing my post can subsitute vandalism. In order to produce wikipedia quality article , you need to include native Uyghur history when you talking about xinjiang history.

FACT NEEDED (talk) 09:49, 24 February 2008 (UTC)What you are doing here is active vandalism. if you do not want Uyghur history included in wikipedia, I am sorry for you and your friend the Leopard. Just remind you guys that Uyghurs were the absolute majority in the region just 50 years ago, why you do not want their history being told in the wikipedia?

You should always assume good faith when editing. I would strongly suggest you carefully choose your words. Accusing people of active vandalism is a very serious matter. I understand you are new to Wikipedia and I do believe your intentions are good ones, but please be respectful of your fellow editors. You have made 13 edits to the English Wikipedia and calling someone a vandal is not a good start. I have made over 6,700 edits to the English Wikipedia, am a member of the WikiProject Council, am a member of the counter-vandalism task force, and have been entrusted with rollback privileges to fight vandalism. If you think I am vandalising Wikipedia you may report this incident at the Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents.
On that note, I have made a comment on the Talk:History_of_Xinjiang#Sweeping_changes regarding your edits and preserved your changes at History_of_Xinjiang/Sandbox. Mkdwtalk 09:55, 24 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Another excuse

I am absolutely not interesting editing your stuff, I just want my voice heard. So do not try to warn me for something I did not do. FACT NEEDED (talk) 10:08, 24 February 2008 (UTC)

The warning in regards to removing comments left by other users was a necessary and also informative response. You may or may have not known, I can only assume, but you removed my comments I left on the Talk:History of Xinjiang page. Please see diff=193671294&oldid=193670308 for the changes you made where you removed my comments. Your concerns are being heard and I am responding to them but it is difficult if you remove my comments as well as accuse me of being a vandal. Mkdwtalk 10:14, 24 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] I see

that is totally unintentional, could you please revert. FACT NEEDED (talk) 10:19, 24 February 2008 (UTC)

I have already restored my comment as well as inserted your comment below mine on the talk page.
As for the matter of the article, the History_of_Xinjiang, you made some contributions. However, on Wikipedia there are many of us who dedicate our time to fight vandalism done to pages. This includes adding profanity, removing useful content, altering content to make it incorrect, along with a number of other things. Sometimes when we see large areas being edited we suggest that it be done on a sub page or sandbox. Wikipedia is largely a collaborative effort and is the result of many editors working together. I have created History_of_Xinjiang/Sandbox which has your changes. I suggest you use Talk:History_of_Xinjiang and discuss with the other major contributors to the article as well as other experts in the subject matter about the changes you wish to make. Ultimately your changes will get in there, but it will be done in the nature of a wiki and we can be sure it's factual and formatted to the Wikipedia style. Wikipedia is a very laid down encyclopedia with all sorts of editing rules, and styles that should be followed. It's confusing but after awhile you will get the hang of it. There are lots of useful links and things to read that Mighty posted for you. Good luck and happy editing. And remember to try and stay polite with your fellow editors even if they are not with you. Mkdwtalk 10:27, 24 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Sure

I am a polite person myself. I just want people to be neutral and respect the aboriginal people's history. I will talk about my points in the discussion. thanks, FACT NEEDED (talk) 10:34, 24 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Why?

I didn't do anything wrong. You snitched on me. —Preceding unsigned comment added by AnimeAnimu10 (talk • contribs) 10:51, 24 February 2008 (UTC)

You have been warned several times for vandalizing Wikipedia and making personal attacks about people is not tolerated on Wikipedia. Mkdwtalk 10:54, 24 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks - I appreciate it.

Thanks for reverting the vandalism on my user page so quickly; I appreciate the help. How are things, anyway? Haven't chatted for a while... I've sort of been roaming all over the 'site for the past few months, so I haven't been around the Vancouver project too often. --Ckatzchatspy 11:04, 24 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Heya

Nope Dave, I remember you :D How're you doing mate? I'm trying to get better *sniffle* :) ~ Riana 15:00, 24 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Hey!!

I remember (to a degree), nice to see you still hangin' around! How ya been? And thanks on the congratulations. Of course, if there's anything you ever need help with, I'd be happy to. :) Cheers! Master of Puppets Call me MoP! 17:13, 24 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Your enquiry re patrolling

Thanks for your message on my talk page. I review new articles listed at Special:Newpages. When you click on a new page from that list the page displays with a "mark as patrolled" link at the bottom. Click that and the page is marked as patrolled. Hope this helps. --ukexpat (talk) 22:12, 24 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Please stop deleting my contributions

Can you please stop deleting my contributions and remove the reference to being a sock puppet of Stonehut.

My contributions are valid, the change i made to the F. J. Brennan Catholic High School were to the outdated Vice Principals that were listed, this can be verified by going to the schools own website, which i visited in the process of researching Daniel Gagnon, which is another article of mine you had deleted. i had noticed the 'vandalism' that was being added to the page while i was attempting to edit it, but that was not done by me, nor anyone i am associated with.

I do not appreciate my name being associated with someone such as 'Stonehut'.Dnamaster2000 (talk) 23:44, 24 February 2008 (UTC)

It's very apparent that you and User:Stonehut are the same user. You made identical vandalism contributions as a single purpose editor to several of the same pages. Not to mention that Stonehut has made several edits to your userpage. As I mentioned in my last message, I strongly recommend you read Wikipedia's policies regarding notability and Wikipedia:Your first article. Also, recreated already speedily deleted articles is considered one form of vandalism. You have recreated the same article four times which fails WP:BIO. If you persist you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Mkdwtalk 00:16, 25 February 2008 (UTC)

I am trying to make serious contributions, it appears that User:Stonehut is someone who works with me and was doing things just to interfere with me. I would appreciate it if you could revert the page F. J. Brennan Catholic High School to the last version i posted as it was more correct and since you have removed my changes it is no longer accurate.

Also i would like to know which articles were vandalized under my name as you have stated, i am unaware of any examples. the article you mentioned that we had both made several edits to is the before mentioned deleted article, which i will attempt to recreate once i have more references compiled. Dnamaster2000 (talk) 00:41, 25 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks!

Thanks for the welcome template1 --Creaming (talk) 00:57, 25 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] WTF?

What's the big idea accusing me of vandalism? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Wordsmithsonian (talkcontribs) 11:29, 27 February 2008 (UTC)

This warning [1] of Wordsmithsonian (talk · contribs) appears to be in error, as your revert [2] on the Wonders of the World article appears to have removed content. --Kralizec! (talk) 11:40, 27 February 2008 (UTC)

Dear fellow editor. This is a reply to the revisions I made on diff=194392824&oldid=194392735 in the article Wonders of the World. I have reviewed the changes. While I do not agree with the removal of the links, the statement about the Pyramids as the last standing ancient wonder of the world is correct. Thanks for your time and notification. User:Wordsmithsonian, I would like to remind you to always assume good faith. As you may know a Wiki may be edited by anyone at anytime. Unfortunately that draws a group of people who wish to vandalise a lot of the great contributions on the Wikipedia. However, there are many people working to stop and revert vandalism but sometimes we make mistakes. In the future it's best to try and not take it personally and simply talk it out how User:Kralizec! did. Happy editing. Mkdwtalk 20:31, 27 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] nip/tuck revert

Mkdw, the revert to did was INCORRECT. it is freddy prune not freddy prince junior at all. The left names are fictional character names and the left are the ACTORS. and freddy prince junior is neither the actor no the fictional character being portrayed. Tj21 (talk) 14:20, 4 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Burrard Street Bridge

I'd not read your comments before my recent visit to the Bridge, after which I read the Wiki article, found its use of images not very helpful, and did the following: inserted a photo I took that gives illustrative, informative support for the descriptions of the structure and also for current city planning concerns, opened a 'gallery' file where people can put their snaps, and moved most existing images there. I left in text two historical images and the main identifier.Alethe (talk) 21:11, 25 April 2008 (UTC)

Hi. I hope you don't mind but I made some modifications to your userbox. -- Mentisock 11:15, 26 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Re: Image:Burrard bridge at night.jpg

Hey, that image had been uploaded since 2006, why was it suddenly deleted with out any warning to myself as the uploaded? Usually I get a message from a bot or something asking me update the information. I had personal permission from Ivan Lam, the original photographer of that image via our facebook group? Mkdwtalk 04:41, 29 April 2008 (UTC)

The image was deleted because the source page says "all rights reserved". If Mr. Lam wishes to release the image for use on Wikipedia he needs to choose a free license and state on the vancoolver.com website that the image is so released. Alternatively he can send an email from an address ending in vancoolver.com to permissions-en@wikimedia.org giving the URL of the image, its name on Wikipedia, and stating which free license it is available under. Just having permission to use it on Wikipedia is not considered sufficient. If you have further questions about image copyright please use Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. Stifle (talk) 07:32, 29 April 2008 (UTC)

Great to meet you last night. I just thought I'd take this opportunity to once again bring to your attention Stanley Industrial Alliance Stage for you to see if there was anything that you cared to contribute. Whatever you decide is fine with me. Accounting4Taste:talk 15:00, 6 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] WikiProject Theatre May 2008 Newsletter

[edit] Question

Hey Mkdw, long time no talk (since Monday anyway :) IIRC you have some familiarity with year-month-date articles. Can you take a look at the good-faith contribs of this editor and give me your opinion? If I understand correctly, we wouldn't put detailed information into a higher-level article when it is available in a link (in this case the list of Academy Award winners in a given year, and contrast this with the list of Nobel Prize winners which may or may not be awarded in any given year, and has a different definition of "notability").

Also, if I was reading commentary correctly, there is the question as to whether predictably recurrent events should be in the year articles at all. Again contrast the Academy's vs. the Nobel's, which are recurrent yet intermittent in their awards.

Your opinion is appreciated, thanks! Franamax (talk) 02:28, 10 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] The FA-Team

Hi. There has been some discussion of how to improve the FA-Team's functioning. It's be grand if you could comment on the new suggested structure, and perhaps also look at our current proposals. Thanks. --jbmurray (talkcontribs) 18:38, 30 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Stanley theatre

Hi Mkdw, how are you? I hope all is well. I've just recently joined the WikiProject Vancouver. I have seen you in discussions for Stanley Industrial Alliance Stage. I was wondering if you could help me with something. I have added coordinates and the Vancouver landmarks template to the Stanley page, but neither of them show up on the page itself. I have tried multiple times to get it to show but so far no luck. Do you know what I am doing wrong? If you could help I'd really appreciate it. Thank you. Moisejp (talk) 00:41, 5 June 2008 (UTC)

I ended up figuring it out. It's because I hadn't closed the gallery just above with "</gallery>" that it didn't work. Thanks. Moisejp (talk) 02:01, 5 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Movie theatres

Me again. While I have your attention I thought I might throw another question at you. Maybe I should be asking this on the Vancouver WikiProject Talk Page, but since I see you have been involved in a couple of theatre-related articles I thought I might get your opinion first. From my research on the Stanley, I have become very interested in some of the old movie theatres in Vancouver, including those that have long since closed down. I have also started contributing to the Orpheum (Vancouver) page and there's another editor who is interested in starting a Vogue article, so if so I'll likely get involved in that too. But what I am really interested in is doing a Capitol/Capitol 6 page. There is some good info about it here, among other places. I'm sure I could find lots more information around, and have some already. But do you think the Capitol/Capitol 6 is notable enough? Sure, it was a well-loved theatre but it has already closed down. I'd also be interested in doing articles for some still-operating theatres that have a bit of history, such as the Ridge or the Park, but I am not sure if they are noteworthy enough either. One other idea I had was to do an article on the history of movie theatres in Vancouver, which could talk about the gradual trends of movie palaces changing over to multiplexes, some of the major theatres that have come and gone, the different companies that have operated theatres in Vancouver (Odeon, Famous Players, etc.) and then have a table showing all the theatres that have existed in Vancouver (maybe in alphabetical order), their years of operation and some brief info about each. if you had any feedback about any of these ideas, I'd be really grateful. Thank you. Moisejp (talk) 02:19, 5 June 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for your note. Sure, whenever you happen to have time, just drop me a line. Good luck with your show! Moisejp (talk) 23:21, 5 June 2008 (UTC)
