[edit] {{NB Expressways}} and other templates

After your edits, {{NB Expressways}}, {{NS 100 Hwys}}, {{Quebec Autoroutes}} don't display properly when collapsed (hit the hide button, or check out List of Canadian highways by province to see how it's rendered in an article). Could you please fix that. Thanks. --Qyd 15:54, 30 March 2007 (UTC)

I'm afraid that an extra break doesn't solve anything: the big text 'Expressways and Freeways still leaks out of the navbox when it's collapsed. It's probably beacause the said text, along with the acompaning html tags, are placed outside the NavContent div. Well, that navbox looks like a christmas tree anyway, with all the images within tables within tables within div's within html tags, etc... —Preceding unsigned comment added by Qyd (talk • contribs)

The big titles were showing because they were inside NavHead, and RingtailedFox has been moving them back to NavContent, which is the div that gets hidden. If you are interested, Qyd, I've made some comments about these templates on my talk page. –Pomte 04:09, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Network logos in infobox

I've reverted your addition of the NBC and NBC Weather Plus logos to the infobox for WDIV-TV. The reason I did so is that I'm concerned it may violate our eighth fair use criterion; I don't think the logos (which are fair use) contribute much to the article. You may wish to look at the WP:FLAG essay as well; adding network logos to infoboxes in general appears to be fairly related to overuse of flags in articles. I just wanted to make you aware of this for future reference. Thank you for your understanding. --WCQuidditch ☎ ✎ 00:15, 7 April 2007 (UTC)

For the record, this also concerns WJBK and possibly others as well. --WCQuidditch ☎ ✎ 00:19, 7 April 2007 (UTC)

That's quite all right. It's often easy to assume from seeing other articles what seems to be an acceptable practice, even if it doesn't quite mesh with policies. I can't really blame you on this one. --WCQuidditch ☎ ✎ 14:04, 7 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Categories

Just a reminder to please not apply duplicate categorization to articles. If Ruthven, Ontario can be filed in Category:Communities in Essex County, Ontario, then it doesn't also go into Category:Essex County, Ontario at the same time; if Huron Church Road can be filed in Category:Streets in Windsor, Ontario, then it doesn't also go into Category:Windsor, Ontario, Category:Essex County, Ontario or Category:Roads in Ontario. We only apply the most specific appropriate category from any given tree, not every category. Bearcat 01:18, 9 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] n:en:User:Raccoon Fox account on Wikinews

Hi. Could you request a change to your account "Raccoon Fox" on Wikinews to "RingtailedFox" to prevent vandalism under User:Raccoon Fox? Please respond on my Wikinews talk page. Thanks. FellowWikip e dian 23:36, 11 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] List of notable Atlantic hurricanes

The Angola system has never officially been proven tropical, has it? As for Costa Rica, the information is unsourced. – Chacor 16:43, 13 April 2007 (UTC)

And arguably this shouldn't count as landfall. Arguably. I'd personally not count it as landfall, but meh. – Chacor 16:45, 13 April 2007 (UTC)

Joan - probably not, since it was a crossover storm and is already listed in the article. – Chacor 16:57, 13 April 2007 (UTC)

Yes, yes, and I would personally not have Hazel in. I'm off to bed now. – Chacor 17:08, 13 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Snowball Earth

Hi,

You expressed an interest some time ago about making Snowball Earth into a Good Article. If you're still interested in helping out, I've posted a to-do list of things that need to be done - if real life's not taking too much of your time!

Feel free to come over and have an edit or two!

Thanks, | Verisimilus T 10:21, 27 April 2007 (UTC)

Great stuff! I'll look forward to your edits! Verisimilus T 10:32, 28 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Radio templates

We're supposed to be using the {{NavigationBox}} template to build radio navboxes, not direct HTML coding. Bearcat 06:20, 5 May 2007 (UTC)

No worries. They don't communicate new stuff around here very well sometimes. Bearcat 14:44, 5 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Edits

Hello. I just want to confirm that you've made some edits to the article on Parents and the associated talk page. I say this b/c you do mention that your account has been hacked in the past and these edits seem out of character compared with the rest of your contributions. Thanks. Blotto adrift 12:07, 8 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Orphaned fair use image (Image:Cogeco television.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:Cogeco television.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. BetacommandBot 04:29, 11 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:ATV.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:ATV.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. 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 uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

[edit] Unspecified source for Image:ATV.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:ATV.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, then you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, then their copyright should also be acknowledged.

As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self-no-disclaimers}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Fair use, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 08:08, 16 May 2007 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:FrontierRoute.gif

Thanks for uploading Image:FrontierRoute.gif. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

[edit] Unspecified source for Image:FrontierRoute.gif

Thanks for uploading Image:FrontierRoute.gif. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, then you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, then their copyright should also be acknowledged.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 21:33, 17 May 2007 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.Betacommand ^{(talk • contribs • Bot)} 21:33, 17 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] "Coon"

Hi, could you please avoid using the colloquial short form of racoon, "coon", in your writings? As an African-American I find the term offensive. As a member of another persecuted group, I hope that you will understand.

[edit] Orphaned non-free image (Image:BuckeyeCableSportsNetwork.gif)

Thanks for uploading Image:BuckeyeCableSportsNetwork.gif. 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.

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).

[edit] Duplicate images uploaded

Thanks for uploading Image:CKLW-TV-1969.jpg. A machine-controlled robot account noticed that you also uploaded the same image under the name Image:CBET-TV-1978.jpg. The copy called Image:CBET-TV-1978.jpg has been marked for speedy deletion since it is redundant. If this sounds okay to you, there is no need for you to take any action.

This is an automated message- you have not upset or annoyed anyone, and you do not need to respond. In the future, you may save yourself some confusion if you supply a meaningful file name and refer to 'my contributions' to remind yourself exactly which name you chose (file names are case sensitive, including the extension) so that you won't lose track of your uploads. For tips on good file naming, see Wikipedia's image use policy.

[edit] Copyright problems with Image:Highway 401 18 lanes.jpg

An image that you uploaded, Image:Highway 401 18 lanes.jpg, has been listed at Wikipedia:Copyright problems because it is a suspected copyright violation. Please look there if you know that the image is legally usable on Wikipedia (you may have to search for the title of the image to find its entry), and then provide the necessary information there and on its page, if you are interested in it not being deleted. Thank you. — Jeff G. (talk|contribs) 16:49, 1 June 2007 (UTC)

I see that you've removed the violation tag, but added no information to clarify the image's status. It is listed as all rights reserved on flickr and you have neither claimed to be the photographer yourself nor indicated that you have a release under the GFDL from the photographer. I am going to delete the image as a copyright violation. Night Gyr (talk/Oy) 16:56, 7 June 2007 (UTC)

I think you've been mislead. The original upload of the image that's since been deleted was removed because it was also incorrectly tagged and infringing. Night Gyr (talk/Oy) 17:04, 7 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Tnavbar-navframe in navboxes

I've notice that you've been using a custom version of tnavbar on the navboxes you have been converting, it is recommend to use {{tnavbar-navframe}} as it will automatically update with any code changes. Additionally, I'd recommend greater use of CSS attributes as Wikipedia's has been moving toward XHTML/CSS. Finally, I should also point out that using NavFrames in conjunction with tables which defeats the main point of using it, which is to a semantic layout without tables.

[edit] Spam in Colasanti's Tropical Gardens

Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Colasanti's Tropical Gardens, by Imasleepviking, another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Colasanti's Tropical Gardens is blatant advertising for a company, product, group, service or person that would require a substantial rewrite in order to become an encyclopedia article.

To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting Colasanti's Tropical Gardens, 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 Colasanti's Tropical Gardens itself.

[edit] About the County Road Templates

Hi RingtailedFox,

It's me again, Smcafirst! I hope you remember me! As you know, we have started to create county/regional/city road templates for the past --- um, I don't know, maybe a few months --- or so. At the bottom, we have listed a bunch of other Canadian Cities who has a road template. Well, to this date, there are already 10 of them (York Region, Chatham-Kent, Montreal, Markham, Mississauga, Windsor, Essex County, Hamilton, Peel Region, etc.) , and adding cities' names to all of them could be a pain in the neck.

I've got a solution:

Everytime you add a city, you directly add it to Template:Roads in Canadian Cities, and that would automatically add your city name to all 10 other templates. Good idea, eh? I still have some glitches to figure out, though.

Thanks again!

You need some reliable sources that verify the term and borders you've posted there. Simply asserting that local channels use the term isn't quite enough.--Isotope23 18:10, 25 June 2007 (UTC)

Yeah, or news stories/books/websites, etc where the term appears and the neighborhood is defined. I know it is a real term used for that area of downtown Detroit, but sources will stop it from being deemed original research and being removed from the article. I'll poke around and see if I can find any sources as well.--Isotope23 18:19, 25 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Highway 6

Hi RingtailedFox,

I am planning in "upgrading" Hiughway 6 to a good article status. I have major overhaul the article's information, and I just need to know something before I even nominate it. Do you know if there is an election promise of upgrading the entire length of Highway 10 to a 400-series highways (note: I need to know this because Highway 6 is concurrent with Highway 10 for 13 km north of Chatsworth), I don't want to nominate this article if this fact is not clarified by a reference. I also don't want to get cream with negative comments, like I did, when I nominate Toronto as a featured article, just because I did not review it very carefully. So please, verify this fact for me, and give me any comments, positive, neutral, negative, whatever, just give a shot, and tell me if Highway 6 is finally good enough for a good article nomination.

[edit] Ontario provincial highways template

Hi RingtailedFox,

Sorry to bother you again, one message after another. I've seen your "edit summary" when you edited the template, and added "Northern Resource Trail". I've notice you saying something like "How can we show the decommissioned highways now?" I think I have a solution: Just italics the decommissioned highway numbers, and then, just give a note at the bottom of the template, stating that italics mean decommissioned. I might find a chance to do this after your approval (your comments are precious to me), but I might not have time to do it, since I have to take care of Toronto's FA nomination, so if you can't wait for me, just do it!

[edit] Your template

Would you mind tagging Template:RingtailedFox/Directing_Buttons with a {{db-author}} tag (after changing all transclusions to your userspace version) so that it can be deleted without having to go through a TfD? I don't know if you saw the whole discussion on WP:RFPP, so here it is:

Semi-protect. Vandalism from IP addresses on both this page, and the User:RingtailedFox/Directing_Buttons page, to conform with the rest of my pages being semi-protected from vandalism. All my pages have seen a total halt of vandalism once under semi-protection, so i'm requestion Semi-protect for these two pages as well The reason i have both a user page and a template page is that the user sub-page acts as a redirect.

Yes, it is "kosher" and i was told it was allowed, since it's a template to help guide people around my pages, instead of having the same code beign repeated in many areas. it would be a pain in the bum to have to synchronize and edit ALL the pages involved if it were that way.

Note: You can't have this in the template namespace. You can do what I do and have something in your own userspace, like this, and transclude from there. The template namespace is for things that can be used in articles and such, not just for one user's benefit. ~ Riana ⁂ 02:19, 7 July 2007 (UTC)

Declined per the above. This shouldn't be in template userspace. Templates almost always contain information pertitent to the encylopedia only. For example, the German userbox solution was created to move most userboxes unrelated to Wikipedia out of template space and into user space. --Deskana (talk) 04:35, 7 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Template:ONThighways

Hi RingtailedFox,

Sorry if I haven't reply for so long. I am currently nominating Highway 6 (Ontario) for peer review, and Toronto for FA (which I believe will fail).

For the recycled number, I am sure it only applies onto only a few Ontario Provincial Highways. If I were you, I won't even worry about it. However, if you really want to state this "recycled number" fact, I could suggest a solution of putting a symbol (such as †) beside, say, Highway 77, and kind of explain it at the bottom (I am getting worried sick... The bottom would be crowded so badly...)

[edit] Template addition to certain articles

Hi RingtailedFox,

Regarding the highways template, I have placed {{ONThighways}} in List of Canadian highways by province, and I have fixed the "state" for most of the road navigational template, from "auto" to "autocollapsed", so that there would not be a "template overcrowding" at the 400-series highways, since these highways have 2 or more templates (Highway 400 has 4). This also helps to "blend" the templates in quite well in the article List of Canadian highways by province.

{{ONThighways}} template: I have added some more parameters on it, including a "see also" section. Please check it over, and fix it whatever way you want to.

In addition, I have edited County roads in Ontario. In the article, I have added county road templates (all templates are collapsed, of course), and also related road shields. Please also fix it whatever way you want to.

[edit] Emporis.com Infringement

I've contact you concerning this before, but I notice that you've not made a concerted effort to put the "facts" for pages you've made on Detroit buildings into your own words, rather copying the facts straight from Emporis.com, many of which I wrote for that site. Unless you make a real and honest effort to go through, as often as you can, your building pages to change these facts into your own words, they will be deleted for blatant copyright infringement. This is such a shame, and it looks like the problem is even bigger than you know. --Criticalthinker 05:37, 19 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Conservation authorities

Although it's been a while since you did this, I just thought I should let you know since you made the same edit a number of times on different articles — the category Category:Environmental Protection Agency is not a general catchall category for all environmental agencies, but a specific category for the United States Environmental Protection Agency. Consequently, Ontario's conservation authorities don't belong in it. Thanks. Bearcat 22:25, 25 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Template:ONThighways

Hi RingtailedFox,

I noticed that you have recently fixed the style of the template -- ONThighways, and I am grateful you have done so. It looked so good right npw, with only one exception. The 7051 sign does not look natural at all [awkward...that's what I meant] (what I mean by natural is that, the green box is way too large, could you try to resize it? I am not good with HTML codings, so I don't know how to handle it). Alternatively, you can upload an exact image like this. Or I can do that for you, it's not too hard when you do this on Paint. Thanks a lot for your contribs at ONThighways. And of course, I would not revert your changes.

[edit] Templates

The main issue, as I see it, is with making the templates do too many things at once; they lose usefulness if they're too crowded with extraneous detail about things that are only indirectly connected. Which is also why I'm not a fan of putting every individual market template on things like TVOntario or Télé-Québec — having nine or ten templates at the bottom of an article is just overload, and really doesn't add anything valuable to the article.

[edit] A long message about Ontario Highways

Hi RingtailedFox,

Be prepared that this is going to be one long message.

First of all, I would like to comment on your work on Template:ONThighways, it is certainly much better than the one I did before. (Well, you might think I have tons and tons of comments). I'd recommend you that, on the template, that you actually italic the former highways and the highways that are COMPLETELY decommissioned, such as Highway 2, 400A, 401A, etc. For the recycled numbers, again, place a symbol like † on the template, and probably briefly explain it at the bottom of the template. Also, formatting on Highway 93 and Highway 94 links (The bullets) are improperly formatted (the bullet is on the next line, should be right beside Highway 93).

Next, about the "conflict" that was brought up while I was new in Wikipedia. (Remember the discussion, almost argument, we've had during December? Check your User talk:RingtailedFox/Archive 3#Ontario County Roads. I've thought of that last night, and probably I could suggest a solution to that. Even to this date, I still disapprove the fact that county roads categories are named like Essex County, Ontario Roads. How about this: we could name the category as Category:County Roads in Essex County, Ontario. I know the fact that you want to make the articles named Essex County, Ontario roads because you want to clarify to the readers of Wikipedia, that there are several Essex Counties (for example, one in Ontario and one in England). I suggest to rename the articles to something like, Essex County Road 8, Ontario. Well, you decide. I am focusing my work around the Golden Horseshoe more, so it won't matter to me as much as the titles formats. Just a sidenote: We don't have to make it this clear that Essex County Road 8 is in Ontario, there are probably no Wikipedians out there making Essex County Road 8 for other Essex Counties.

Last of all, regarding your recycled route problems. A very good suggestions you've got there (on my userpage). I like the ones listed below:

Highway xx (Ontario, Year-Year)
Highway xx A (Location, Ontario, Year-Year)

Under this circumstance, I think we should break out of our own Ontario Highway Projects "title style", formattings like Highway xx (Ontario), it would be more appropriate if we use the "old" style, like Ontario Provincial Highway xx (Location, Year-Year). I don't know about this, going against the Ontario Roads WikiProject. We should probably bring this up on the WikiProject's talk page.

Thanks a ton for your dedicated work with Ontario highways!

I told you this was going to be a long message!

Smcafirst | Chat at 14:57, 1 August 2007 (UTC)

Good idea you have there, RingtailedFox! And a nice list you have started. About the decommissioned highways, starting a list like you did was probably the best idea. Though, on the template ONThighways, we could still italicize the decommissioned highways.
Regarding the County Roads, it would be much clearer if we use "<name> <type> Road <number> (Ontario)" I would go with this format IF, there is a similar county road out there in other provinces or in the states, or else, it's really no point of putting "Ontario" at the end of the title. The reason I like yours with the "Ontario" in brackets at the end because most of the highways articles we have now are in this format. Nhl4hamilton had done some work on these disambig. link. He puts the "suffix" (Hamilton, Ontario), at every road's name. I don't think that is necessary, and perhaps you could seek advice from him.
Smcafirst | Chat at 12:43, 2 August 2007 (UTC)

I am also thinking making a navigational template for Waterloo Region. What do you think? There are only 4 roads with a Wikipedia article right now. Smcafirst | Chat at 12:48, 2 August 2007 (UTC)

For your image names, I think it is acceptable for having a name "Ontario Highway xx". However, if you don't mind, I would suggest you to upload them again in "Ontario xx". You can find an administrator to delete all the wrongly-named shields. Having a uniform image names throughout makes everyone's job easier. If you want to leave it that way, that's fine too. Just notify everyone on the WikiProject Ontario Road's Base Page. Smcafirst | Chat at 17:00, 3 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Proposed Deletion for {{ONThighways}}

Hi RingtailedFox,

Some urgent stuff to tell you. I am quite sorry to say, that after you have put so much work into making {{ONThighways}}, the template is listed at WP:TFD. If you like, please voice your opinion at the template's entry.

They say the template is quite oversize and a "red link farm". Here is my propose for the future of the template. We will further downsize our template by splitting it into 4 smaller templates: "King's Highways" (For highways 1-148); "400-series highways" (which exist right now, for highways 400-451) ; "Secondary Highways" (for highways 502-673); "Tertiary Highways, 7000-series, and miscellaneous" (for highways 800-7273, plus Northern Ontario Resource Trail links). Note that all templates will have the "See also" section that is presented now in the ONThighways template. All of these will be started to be "under construction" after the template is deleted, or a "repeated" template will be done. Also, the master template (the Roads in Ontario template) is quite malformatted, could you fix it? And plus, do you think this idea is good? If it is approved by others, I will start to do some of these similar things with other provinces (MB highways is a large red link farm ; SK Highways is a big blob)

Smcafirst | Chat at 21:54, 21 August 2007 (UTC)

Okay, they've deleted ONThighways. I want to re-create it. Should we re-build the template using the style I've used for {{Topics on Markham}}, or should we split the template into 4?

I still think that the Secondary Highway template is kind of too long.
One more and last issue. Remember the master template that I created? The Roads in Ontario Cities. The template is increasing its size (not to a dangerous level yet, but certainly a notable milestone). It is now 3-lines long. I also changed some of its colour and stuff. In terms of the style, I will do some more work on it tomorrow. What I want to tell you could be also viewed at Template talk:Roads in Ontario Cities, keep your reply about this issue (and only this issue) there.

[edit] A request of protection from Smcafirst

Hi RingtailedFox,

Our Ontario Highways Project is facing (and will undergo) a serious problem. The following messages, please do not take it as not assuming good faith of a particular user, but I think these messages should be address to you.

NE2 is a user on Wikipedia, and he/she, in particular, has been going against everything that we have done with Ontario Roads. First of all, he/she keeps on emptying our master templates, such as {{Roads in Ontario Cities}}, {{Roads in Nova Scotia Cities}}, you name it. If it's a master template, he'd remove it. I have noticed that you are "able" to semi-protect your talk page, so I think you can help this problem by protecting the pages (or think of another solution). Personally, I could not bear undoing his/her acts every single day. And I will not do that next week, since I would be going away to Bala, Ontario. His/Her acts are just ridiculous, and wasting my time.

Other than that, he/she has also messed with our infoboxes, which includes removing some of the major cities/ junctions, et cetera. Now this is not that a major problem, but I think this is notable enough for you to know.

Next, which bothers me the most, is that he/she is now listing {{Ontario King's Highways}} up for deletion. His/Her opinion, again is very ridiculous, saying that users could jump from highways to highways using {{Infobox Road}}. What good would Infobox Road do anyways?

I hope you can seriously consider my complaint, and think of something, so that the Ontario Road project would stop deteriorating. In other words, I think the Ontario Road project, now "fixed up" by NE2, is worse than before. NE2 is certainly doing things that are "removing" the hard works of our crew. Please help me and all other participants of Ontario Road project.

Smcafirst | Chat at 20:27, 9 September 2007 (UTC)

P.S. If you reply between September 11 and September 14, I will not reply you (I am very sorry of that), since I am away to Bala, Ontario. Try to reply ASAP. Thanks!

I have post a comment at NE2's talk page. Go and see. By the way, another user came in the discussion, saying : read WP:VAND before continuing. I am sorry, but I could not continue the discussion further. I have to start packing.
Waiting to here your good news when I am back!
I have "faith" in you,

[edit] Template:Locationgrid

A tag has been placed on Template:Locationgrid, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a redirect to a nonexistent page. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.

Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself. If you plan to expand the article, you can request that administrators wait a while for you to add contextual material. To do this, affix the template {{hangon}} to the page and state your intention on the article's talk page. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this.

[edit] Proposed deletion of Master Templates

Hi RingtailedFox,

Some urgent stuff to tell you. I am quite sorry to say, that after you and I have put so much work into making {{Roads in Ontario Cities}} , {{Roads of Quebec}}, {{Roads in Manitoba Cities}} , etc. are listed at WP:TFD. If you like, please voice your opinion at the template's entry.

They say the template is not useful, and not "lawful" to link templates to a template.

Urgent stuff, I've voiced my own opinion. Now it's up to you.

[edit] USRD Inactivity check and news report

Hello, RingtailedFox. We had a few urgent matters to communicate to you:

Please update your information at Wikipedia:WikiProject U.S. Roads/Participants, our new centralized participant list. Those who have not done so by October 20th will be removed.
There are important discussions taking place at WT:USRD relating to whether WP:USRD, WP:HWY, or the state projects should hold the "power" in the roads projects.

[edit] CIVT-TV

Please understand that at no point in time did CIVT ever use its callsign as its on-air branding, or use a "CIVT/CTV" logo like the other O&Os did. To include the "CIVT/CTV" logo makes the article factually inaccurate, so please do not add it back to the article. If that means the "CIVT/CTV" logo will end up getting deleted because it's orphaned, then too bad. - Hinto 16:56, 25 September 2007 (UTC)

FYI the webmaster of that site didn't like the fact that the station used the "BC CTV" brand, so he devised his own unofficial "CIVT" logo. - Hinto 21:50, 25 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:BlackburnRadiologo.png

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:BlackburnRadiologo.png. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. 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 non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page.

[edit] CTV/Citytv

There's no need to speculate about the "similarity" of their names being a "possible" reason for the CRTC denying CTV permission to acquire Citytv; that has nothing to do with it whatsoever. The reason starts and ends at the CRTC's concentration of media ownership rules; because Citytv operates exclusively in major markets where CTV already has O&O stations, CTVgm having both systems would have given it too high a market share.

[edit] TV templates

Most Canadian television markets only have one or two of their own unique stations, with everything else being a market-crossing rebroadcaster that ends up with anywhere up to ten different market templates on a single article. Too many templates makes those articles look like unadulterated crap. As a general rule, if multiple templates contain almost the same information with one or two minor differences, they should be merged into one if at all possible — it's a lot less messy, and actually easier to maintain if there's only one template to monitor instead of a dozen.

The thing is, the context of Canadian television is very different from that of American television. Even some of the least populated states in the entire US have almost as many licensed television stations as Ontario or Quebec — American television stations, as a rule, don't broadcast simultaneously into three, four, five or ten distinct DMAs, so you just don't see American television stations ending up with five or six market templates on their articles. Two, maybe, but never five or six.

The entire state of Wyoming, for example, has fewer people than Winnipeg alone, and yet it still has at least two, and sometimes even three, distinct affiliates of every major American commercial network — whereas there's only one television station in the entire province of Manitoba that isn't licensed to Winnipeg itself. It's very much like the network templates — a typical American television network has over 200 affiliates, so network affiliates have to be split up somehow to be manageable, while no Canadian network has more than 30 distinct stations airing its programming and only one even has as many as 20. So we just don't need to organize those templates the same way as the Americans do — the number of stations we're dealing with doesn't require it.

In the distribution and ownership of television stations, Canadian television is actually far more like British or Australian television than it is American — a much smaller number of stations, mostly O&Os rather than affiliates, broadcast to vastly wider geographic areas than most American stations would ever even be allowed to by the FCC. The Canadian and American television industries just aren't all that similar once you get past the surface resemblances. So I just don't think we're obligated to organize things in the same way as the Americans do — it just doesn't suit the reality of Canadian television broadcasting.

[edit] By the way...

Looks like a lot of work ahead of the Canadian media editing contingent in the next couple of days...the CRTC just gave the go-ahead to both Rogers/Citytv and Astral/Standard. Bearcat 19:52, 28 September 2007 (UTC)
