[edit] Ottawa Macdonald-Cartier International Airport

Two things. First the format "display=inline|display=title" is incorrect and should be "display=inline,title". Check the box and notice the coordinates are missing. Second, the airport article is in Google Earth. In fact I have two of those purple dots, one for the airport and one for the airport station. There was a period when Google Earth had dropped all the airports using the "display=inline" however they later came back again. I know there was a discussion on this but I can't remember where. Is it all the airports that are missing when you use Google Earth or just that one? Try "69 06 29 N 105 08 18 W and 69°07′20″N 105°01′15″W and see if you get the airports for those. I know that neither of them have ever had the "display=title". Cheers. CambridgeBayWeather Have a gorilla 20:02, 22 March 2008 (UTC)

I never even knew that was possible. Any other time someone has discussed it I always thought they were referring to Google Earth and the Wikipedia links that appeared in it, or for a time that didn't appear in it. After looking at the link you provided I notice that the two airports above, both in Cambridge Bay, don't appear either, and after a quick look it would appear that none of the other Arctic airports are there. And now that I have taken the time to scroll down the page linked from the coordinates I see how that is linked to and that Iqaluit appears but Iqaluit Airport does not. Is there a way for Google Maps to be opened with that information other than through Wikipedia? Oh, by they way it turns out that "display=inline,title" or "display=title,inline" is fine but "display=inline, title" will not work. My apologies if the first message sounded a bit aggressive as it appears I have much better verbal communication skills than written, as I have been told several times.

As long as we got it sorted. CambridgeBayWeather Have a gorilla 15:22, 24 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Conclusion: Image placeholders centralized discussion

Hi. I'm sending this to you because you participated in the Centralized discussion on image placeholders that ended on 23 April.

That discussion must produce a conclusion.

We originally asked "Should the addition of this box [example right] be allowed? Does the placeholder system and graphic image need to be improved to satisfy policies and guidelines for inclusion? Is it appropriate to some kinds of biographies, but not to others?" (See introduction).

Conclusions to centralized discussions are either marked as 'policy', 'guideline', 'endorsed', 'rejected', 'no consensus', or 'no change' etc. We should now decide for this discussion.

Please read and approve or disapprove the section here: Conclusion --Kleinzach (talk) 10:49, 30 April 2008 (UTC)

Please note this message conforms to WP:CANVASSING and has not been sent to anyone has not already participated in the centralized discussion.

[edit] LAC

Thanks for the heads-up. Much appreciated. I will take a look at that later today. Skeezix1000 (talk) 14:33, 7 May 2008 (UTC)

Hi Padraic, I've had a first stab add adding FUR's here, re-uploading the commons images to en:wiki here, and added a {{LAC}} template and category shadowing the commons stuff. Can you review that and advise me if I have a clue? I've also seen that there may be "pre-licensed" images for Olympians see here - is that relevant? And found some more FUR candidates, fr'instance the Venezuela Expo67 pavilion which may not be listed elsewhere.

This is all pretty confusing, what with the "Restrictions: nil" and "you can't do that" stuff, so your best advice is appreciated.

Also, looking here, at another Prime Minister, how do we get more permissions to use official portraits? Thanks for your help! Franamax (talk) 21:47, 11 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Canada article

I've incorporated the info contained in several references originally on the talk page to the Canada article. I've recommended that if these hold, that the neutrality tag be lifted. Feel free to comment, and to continue making bold edits, and to lift the neutrality tag. --soulscanner (talk) 08:11, 20 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] WikiProject Canada on Commons ??

A preliminary Commons WikiProject Canada has been created. Please help adapt, modify and expand it, to coordinate and organize Canadian media on commons. It will provide a common area for media discussion, PD issues and naming on the commons WP talk page. Well, already the Commons WikiProject Canada has a This gallery has been requested for deletion deletion tag and discussion started because a wikiproject is not a gallery. Do you want to edit the intial Wikiproject start up or comment if it is needed on commons or not at the deletion discussion. Oh my goodness! SriMesh | talk 02:20, 4 June 2008 (UTC)
