Happy Valley-Goose Bay edit

I'm not sure what you're trying to do at Happy Valley-Goose Bay. You've added 2016 data to a table entitled "Canada 2006 Census", and then you tell other editors not to revert your sloppy edit. Please use your sandbox to correct the edit and the links, and then upload it. Help is available if you ask. Thank you. Magnolia677 (talk) 14:37, 20 July 2018 (UTC)Reply

@ Magnolia677 Happy Valley-Goose Bay demographic data has not been edited on its Wiki page to reflect the most current information. In Canada, there is a census collected every 5 years. The latest data would be from 2016, not 2006 - as much has changed in Happy Valley-Goose Bay since 2006. Information for the 2016 demographic data can be found on the link that was cited. Editing the page is to ensure the newest demographic information is available to people who access the page. If that is not the right way to edit it, please let me know how as I thought I removed any reference to it being data from 2006. --205.193.94.40 (talk) 14:56, 20 July 2018 (UTC)Reply

Uniacke Square edit

At Uniacke Square, you added demographic data with this edit. You included this source to support the data. After entering "Uniacke Square" in to the search, the result was "No match found". Could you please explain how you got this demographic data? Thank you. Magnolia677 (talk) 14:49, 20 July 2018 (UTC)Reply

@ Magnolia677 - It takes digging to understand Statistics Canada website. Uniacke Square is comprised of 12090344 (DA) and 12090345 (DA) as seen by the Statistics Canada mapping website: https://censusmapper.ca/maps/902#14/44.6742/-63.5731 It is from Statistics Canada, and is information readily made available to the public. Understanding this information may be crucial to community workers, and residents. If I am not citing it right please help me instead of deleting the information. Thank you 205.193.94.40 (talk) 15:01, 20 July 2018 (UTC)Reply

Thank you. Where in this edit does the source cited say that "Today, most residents of Uniacke Square are not descendants of the people who lived in Africville but rather residents from other areas in Halifax that moved to the area"? Magnolia677 (talk) 15:27, 20 July 2018 (UTC)Reply

Black Nova Scotians edit

I have reverted your edits again at Black Nova Scotians. The links you added to support the demographic data are inadequate. Please provide a direct link to your source. Thank you. Magnolia677 (talk) 14:57, 20 July 2018 (UTC)Reply

July 2018 edit

  Hello, I'm Hecseur. An edit that you recently made to Canadian Environmental Assessment Agency seemed to be a test and has been removed. If you want more practice editing, please use the sandbox. If you think a mistake was made, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. If your recent edit wasn't a test and you believe some of the information you removed was incorrect for some reason, please add a citation confirming it.

Good luck editing the Encyclopedia! Hecseur (talk) 16:15, 24 July 2018 (UTC) Hecseur (talk) 16:15, 24 July 2018 (UTC)Reply

Welcome to Wikipedia from the Medicine WikiProject! edit

Welcome to Wikipedia and WikiProject Medicine

Welcome to Wikipedia from WikiProject Medicine (also known as WPMED).

We're a group of editors who strive to improve the quality of medical articles here on Wikipedia. One of our members has noticed that you are interested in editing medical articles; it's great to have a new interested editor on board. In your wiki-voyages, a few things that may be relevant to editing Wikipedia articles are:

  • Thanks for coming aboard! We always appreciate a new editor. Feel free to leave us a message at any time on our talk page. If you are interested in joining the project yourself, there is a participant list where you can sign up. Please leave a message on the WPMED talk page if you have any problems, suggestions, would like review of an article, need suggestions for articles to edit, or would like some collaboration when editing!
  • Sourcing of medical and health-related content on Wikipedia is guided by our medical sourcing guidelines, commonly referred to as MEDRS. These guidelines typically require recent secondary sources to support information; their application is further explained here. Primary sources (case studies, case reports, research studies) are rarely used, especially if the primary sources are produced by the organisation or individual who is promoting a claim.
  • The Wikipedia community includes a wide variety of editors with different interests, skills, and knowledge. We all manage to get along through a lot of discussion that happens under the scenes and through the bold, revert, discuss editing cycle. If you encounter any problems, you can discuss them on an article's talk page or post a message on the WPMED talk page.

Feel free to drop a note on my talk page if you have any problems. I wish you all the best on your wiki voyages! Spyder212 (talk) 18:41, 11 June 2019 (UTC)Reply

December 2020 edit

 

Hello 205.193.94.40. The nature of your edits, such as the one you made to Population of Canada by province and territory, gives the impression you have an undisclosed financial stake in promoting a topic, but you have not complied with Wikipedia's mandatory paid editing disclosure requirements. Paid advocacy is a category of conflict of interest (COI) editing that involves being compensated by a person, group, company or organization to use Wikipedia to promote their interests. Undisclosed paid advocacy is prohibited by our policies on neutral point of view and what Wikipedia is not, and is an especially serious type of COI; the Wikimedia Foundation regards it as a "black hat" practice akin to black-hat search-engine optimization.

Paid advocates are very strongly discouraged from direct article editing, and should instead propose changes on the talk page of the article in question if an article exists. If the article does not exist, paid advocates are extremely strongly discouraged from attempting to write an article at all. At best, any proposed article creation should be submitted through the articles for creation process, rather than directly.

Regardless, if you are receiving or expect to receive compensation for your edits, broadly construed, you are required by the Wikimedia Terms of Use to disclose your employer, client and affiliation. You can post such a mandatory disclosure to your user page at User:205.193.94.40. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=205.193.94.40|employer=InsertName|client=InsertName}}. If I am mistaken – you are not being directly or indirectly compensated for your edits – please state that in response to this message. Otherwise, please provide the required disclosure. In either case, do not edit further until you answer this message. You regularly update demographic data published by Statistics Canada, and your IP address is registered to Shared Services Canada, a government agency which provides internet access to Statistics Canada.

February 2023 edit

  Hello, 205.193.94.40. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on the page Jean-Yves Duclos, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a conflict of interest may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. We ask that you:

In addition, you are required by the Wikimedia Foundation's terms of use to disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution which forms all or part of work for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation. See Wikipedia:Paid-contribution disclosure.

Also, editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. — Red-tailed hawk (nest) 01:52, 17 February 2023 (UTC)Reply

Notice of Conflict of interest noticeboard discussion edit

  There is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Conflict of interest/Noticeboard regarding a possible conflict of interest incident with which you may be involved. Thank you. — Red-tailed hawk (nest) 01:50, 17 February 2023 (UTC)Reply

This IP address resolves to Shared Services Canada, a government of Canada agency. As such, you should refrain from editing articles about your own agency, as well as government, political party, political opponents, or controversial political topics. This a conflict of interest and also possibly a case of undisclosed paid editing, something which Wikipedia takes very seriously. Undisclosed paid editors can be blocked from editing if they do not comply with the mandatory policy on disclosure of paid editing and Wikipedia's terms of use. --Drm310 🍁 (talk) 15:47, 19 February 2023 (UTC)Reply
