Vote at Fête nationale du Québec (Saint Jean Baptiste Day)

Hi, I've set up a vote to try and resolve this here. As you've commented on the issue already, I wanted to ensure you take the opportunity to vote. Gabrielthursday (talk) 01:08, 5 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I've asked the dissenting editors to acknowledge the Wikipedia naming conventions that emphasize that article titles should be the ones that are most recognizable to English-speakers[1]. If they do not, I think we should ask for a Request for comment as the next step in solving this dispute, as such a refusal could constitute bad faith. It will require at least two editors to start the process. Thank you. --soulscanner (talk) 19:23, 5 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Re: Bishop

I'd talk to User:Chrisjnelson about that. He (and other WP:NFLers) are quarterbacking (no pun intended!) page moves from (football player) to (American football) or (gridiron football) if it's also a CFL player. Pats1 ^T/C 01:23, 6 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, I wasn't too descriptive in my AWB title. Since a User:Crash Underride added the parent cat American Football League players to a bunch of AFL player pages, I informed him that such a practice (see Category:National Football League players) is not usually done, and instead just the sub-cats (essentially) of Team X players is used. He added it to a bunch of articles, so I AWB'd it. Pats1 ^T/C 01:26, 6 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It's UNDERRIDE, and it's not USUALLY done, is there a rule saying that it's illegal? No, ok. Besides, why is there a category Category:National Football League players to begin with then??? Cra sh U nderride 05:20, 6 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Military history of Canada

Military history of Canada has been nominated for a featured article review. Articles are typically reviewed for two weeks. Please leave your comments and help us to return the article to featured quality. If concerns are not addressed during the review period, articles are moved onto the Featured Article Removal Candidates list for a further period, where editors may declare "Keep" or "Remove" the article from featured status. The instructions for the review process are here. Reviewers' concerns are here.

"My" recent edits

Thanks for your note. I understand that you cannot verify this, but I did not make the edits in question. I suspect that my password had been guessed: I've changed it as a precaution. I'll try to be more vigilant about this. Thanks again for letting me know that this was going on-I truthfully had no idea. --Lkjhgfdsa (talk) 15:59, 14 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Question

Hi DoubleBlue, I noticed that you revert vandalism occasionally. Would you like me to grant your account rollback rights for you to use alongside Twinkle? Tell me what you think. Thanks. Acalamari 21:00, 15 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Rollback granted. I'm glad you understand that it's for reverting vandalism, and that abuse can lead to its removal. :) Good luck. Acalamari 23:35, 15 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for correction at Delorimier

I don't know if you caught my later comment as quickly as you caught the original edit. I did some more checking up myself and found out that "Delorimier" was in fact correct. I went back to change them all again (I think you noticed that, before me, some were one spelling and some the other), and found you had got there already. Quick work!

Re. entry of external link in entry for "Brentwood College School"

I tried adding a link to the site ourkids.net and you removed it. Ourkids.net offers pictures and other information unavailable elsewhere. Why is there no conflict of interest deletion for the link from the competing commercial site, topprivateschools.ca?

It is obvious that users find our site useful as they arrive from all different sources, including wikipedia, and we offer them the opportunity to make contact with a representative from the school.

All due respect -

Help with infoboxes

I couldn't find anything about this so I thought I'd ask a highly decorated user.
I want to use an infobox template, but I want to add a field that is not in the template.
Let's say I'm using the organization infobox template and I want to add a field called former name (the name the organization was given at first), which the organization template doesn't provide
If I was editing my own infobox, I would have done it like this | label1 = former name | data1 = Yoyoyo.
How can I do that, if I can do that ? U can edit my User:Jadbaz/sandbox sandbox if it makes it easier, I prepared it for this purpose, Thanks.
--JB (talk) 20:33, 15 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

How did u do that ? Did u edit the template infobox organization ?

--JB (talk) 20:31, 16 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I did here. DoubleBlue (Talk) 20:54, 16 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Liberal Party candidates, 40th Canadian federal election

I have now commented on deletion discussion. As for my edits, I was attempting to provide sources to unsourced content that had been deleted in an attempt to clean up the article.Mr. No Funny Nickname (talk) 17:55, 21 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

- I have also commented on deletion discussion. I appreciate your comments about notability. I would be more than happy to provide adequate reliable sources for a fair and balanced article but Bearcat has blocked my access to the original article on Heather Carter. I must admit that I am quite a novice here and I am uncomfortable with Bearcat's bullying. Heather Carter's article has been on Wikipedia since February, 2007, and, I thought, had been approved for content by IrishGuy. Without warning, Bearcat redirected the article with a comment to the effect that unelected candidates were unworthy of an article. I undid his redirection. He threatened me. Later Mr. No Funny Nickname also undid the redirection. And, again, I was threatened. I do not know Mr. No Funny Nickname nor have I collaborated with him prior to this incident. I also object the Bearcat's involvement in editing Liberal party candidate's articles. He is a strong supporter of the NDP and as such I feel he should have the sense to recuse himself. Your help and guidance in helping to resolve these issues with Heather Carter's article would be very much appreciated. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Johncaron.ca (talk • contribs) 04:25, 23 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Orlondo Steinhauer

I think offering a suggested interpretation of the reasons for his release is too subjective for the header. I'll compose a new version - I hope you agree. Dorrellc (talk) 02:51, 27 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I don't usually ask other people to fix articles that I could have fixed myself, but I've been down with a cold for several weeks, and just not feeling up to a big review and edit today. Thanks again for your help. --A Knight Who Says Ni (talk) 22:52, 27 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, as you added the conclusion to Wikipedia:Centralized discussion/Image placeholders, would you mind commenting on Wikipedia:Bots/Requests for approval/AmeliorationBot 2? Thanks, ~ User:Ameliorate! ^{(with the !) (talk)} 16:01, 14 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks much for passing along the heads-up on this issue! My comments on the bot discussion page. Hope all's well with you. -Pete (talk) 21:59, 14 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for sending word of this. Sorry, I didn't see your message in time to comment on the bot discussion page, but it looks like there was a healthy discussion there. I learned a lot from that (exhausting) debate -- I hope not to get myself involved in something like that again, but if I do, I'll be smarter about it. best, Northwesterner1 (talk) 09:15, 18 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Monarchy of Canada

DoubleBlue, though I'm sure your intentions are good, your last couple of edits to Monarchy of Canada have created large blank spaces in the article. Were you trying to fix something? --G2bambino (talk) 01:50, 15 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Soundtrack for Scenario

Just letting you know that an article on the band still hasn't been created. I don't think the sources support notability either way, though. Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • ^{(Broken clamshells • Otter chirps • HELP)} 02:49, 24 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I moved that sandbox to an article. You might want to inform the AFD nominator. I'm going to bed now. Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • ^{(Broken clamshells • Otter chirps • HELP)} 03:15, 24 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Region restricted external link

Hi, the problem is that the link I removed is only viewable in Canada (and possibly the US). WP:ELNO states: Sites that are inaccessible to a substantial number of users should be avoided. I hope that's clearer. Cheers, --JD554 (talk) 17:57, 24 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think there is an easy way as it would be down to the website in question putting the information somewhere on their site. The only way to be sure is when someone (like me) notices they can't use the content. --JD554 (talk) 05:44, 25 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks!

Thanks for your message, I will be exploring the editing links in full over the next few days. Thought I had been signing my messages and adding editing summaries to my edits, but this is often late-at-night (2 am) work for me, so the occasional blank edit summary may slip by :)

Re: Prod

Hi DoubleBlue. Sure, didn't realize the edtsum contraction prod, for producer, could be taken to be mean Wikipedia:Prod. That would be a sticky wicket. Thanks Petersent (talk) 05:02, 5 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Notre Dame Regional

Thank you for keeping an eye out for a false entry '* Antonio Caso. - Defenseman - National Hockey League - Montreal Canadiens - Hockey'. I never entered this name & I'm not familiar with it. I'm an alumini of this school & I coach there also, and the names I've entered are well known in our trophy cases and I've made links to other areas of wiki, where possible, and external websites to prove their existance.Iota 9 (talk) 14:32, 6 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Stockdale

Hey: could you read the explanation in the Talk page before blindly reverting the article? The removed quote screams "Urban Legend" rather than real facts, and is presented with scant evidence (A post on a random message board remembering Stockdale when he died).

hey guy

Saw you moved western alienation to "mid Importance" Well I don't dispute the move, it wasn't really necessary, the only reason I commented was because it seemed "low" priority for western alienation in a canadian wiki project, basically summed up the crux of western alienation, ie that our interests are treated as low priority.

Football infobox

I know we've had some conflicts about the use of Template:Infobox NFLactive on CFL player articles, and I was wondering if there was anything that could be done to the template that would satisfy you to the point where we might be able to use it for both NFL and CFL players. I believe in the past you've said it was very "NFL-centric" or something to that effect, and you're right. However, I don't think there are any such features that cannot be altered. For one, I think we can change the NFL debut section to say "Professional debut" so that it could be used for any league, no matter where a guy started. We can also make CFL stat sections and a CFL link that will show up in addition to an NFL one if we want, instead of being replaced by the NFL one. Just let me know if this is a something we can work on. Either way, I am going to do some work on the template to make it more league-neutral. Despite its name, I always intended it to be usable for any league.►Chris Nelson^Holla! 22:29, 10 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Well actually, the NFLActive one was the only one that was my idea. Banned user Jmfangio created both, but the active one was really only mine and that's the one I primarily work with since I'm focused on updating current players.

I'm going to have User:Pats1 unblock the template so I can make some of these changes. I'm going to do all the stuff I've said above, though if you have any other suggestions on changes or necessary additions to accompany other leagues, let me know.►Chris Nelson^Holla! 22:49, 10 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hey, just wanted to let you know that I made the changes I mentioned. Here is what it looks like.►Chris Nelson^Holla! 02:20, 11 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

CFL

So hey, do you follow the CFL closely?►Chris Nelson^Holla! 04:49, 11 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Ah okay, I ask because I want to follow CFL transactions and keep their roster templates like I do the NFL ones. Sometimes when I update an NFL player's infobox/page, it's hard to find out if he's played in the CFL and if so how where and for how long. I figure if I keep up with CFL rosters too, I'll already know. So can you confirm my interpetations of the CFL's transaction page:

IMP is import, NIP is non-import
I guess when it says ADD under Roster, it means a guy signed to the active roster
ADD under the Non-Active section means signed to the practice squad
DEL under roster means removed from active
ADD from INJURED means moved from the inactive list back to active
EXT on INJURED means an extension on their inactive list time
TFR to INJURED means transferred to injured from active (or maybe practice squad?)

Do I have these all right? I still don't know how CFL rosters work exactly. And one thing I'm still unclear on is what REM UNS and REM SGD mean. Any help?

Also, assuming I have my above points right, I'm a little confused since in the October 9 Roster section is says MTL DEL DIP Donovan ALEXANDER (DB) North Dakota. In the section below that, it says MTL ADD NIP Donovan ALEXANDER (DB) North Dakota. This indicates to me that he was moved from the active roster to the practice squad. So is the Alouettes roster just outdated or am I wrong?►Chris Nelson^Holla! 05:11, 11 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the info. I really don't know how the whole CFL roster thing works. Can you explain to me the basics, maybe the roster limits or whatever, or point me to somewhere I can find out about them? Also, what does it mean when a guy is DEL UNS? Why was he on the practice squad if he was never signed?

One last thing: If I'm reading these transactions correctly, does this edit appear to be correct?►Chris Nelson^Holla! 06:45, 11 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I replied on my talk.►Chris Nelson^Holla! 04:47, 12 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
