Category:Culture of Perth County, Ontario

I notice that this category you created is unpopulated (empty). In other words, no Wikipedia pages belong to it. If it remains unpopulated for four days, it may be deleted without discussion, in accordance with Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion#C1. I'm notifying you in case you wish to (re-)populate it by adding [[Category:Culture of Perth County, Ontario]] to pages that belong in it.

I tagged the category. This will not, in itself, cause the category to be deleted. It serves to document (in the page history) that the category was empty at the time of tagging and also to alert other watchers that the category is in jeopardy. You are welcome to remove the tag if you wish. However, removing the tag will not prevent deletion of the category if it remains empty.

If you created the category in error, or it is no longer needed, you can speed up the deletion process by tagging it with {{db-author}}.

I am a human being, not a bot, so you can contact me if you have questions about this. Best regards, --Stepheng3 (talk) 04:02, 15 April 2009 (UTC)

Wikiproject NATO

As you may have noticed, the proposal for WikiProject NATO has now attracted 4 participants. That's one short of the suggested 5, but it's close enough, right? In any case, I have now established the most rudimentary of wikiproject pages, Wikipedia:WikiProject NATO, and I'd like to invite you to come and officially join as well as helping to get the project rolling. At a bare minimum, we're going to need to design a template and start tagging some articles. I look forward to seeing you around the project! Cool3 (talk) 20:22, 15 April 2009 (UTC)

MxPx

Hello, just wanted to say that this edit to MxPx wasn't vandalism. Before this incident I questioned the inclusion of On the Cover II in the list of studio albums, because it is a cover album; no original songs. Nobody responded to my message on the article's talk page (not that I care all that much whether it's included or not), so there's no consensus either way. Maybe consider removing your warning on User talk:67.193.58.115 (don't bite the newbies yadda yadda yadda), although it's probably not that big a deal. ~EdGl ★ 23:09, 4 May 2009 (UTC)

Keshia Chante

Hello, I just have a question and I know you are one of the most knowledgeable users on wikipedia. You responded to the "semi-protection" question I had on the talk page of Keshia Chante, but unfortunately, was still unable to understand. A new user has come on board writing defamatory comments and creating vandalism on the Keshia Chante article. I tried to have it "undid" but 1) it wouldnt let me. 2) the user is a new user, not established and not even logged in, I wanted to stop that. Is there a simple way of making it happen? Thank you for your time!! --Tyty06 (talk) 23:47, 11 May 2009 (UTC)

Gino Vannelli

Apologies if I haven't formatted this correctly; this is the first time I'm using the Talk feature in Wikipedia. Earlier today you wrote to say I had added commentary or my own personal analysis and violated Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy by adding a single word to the entry on Gino Vannelli. I added that word because the wording sounded somewhat awkward without it. My word did not change the intended meaning of the original author, and certainly did not introduce a personal analysis. The phrase in question was "Joe overdubbed multiple parts to create a texture of sound that was progressive for the early 1970s." The words "was progressive" sound strange. I changed them to "was quite progressive". This is not a personal opinion. It is the truth. I was around in those days, and remember well what synthesizers sounded like on other artists' recordings. The polyphonic synthesizers on the Vannelli records, in fact, sounded EXTREMELY progressive - the use of the word "quite" is actually an understatement. If you don't like "quite", may I propose "was very progressive sounding"? I still feel "was progressive" is just bad English, and my only intent here is to make the phrase sound better, not to add a personal judgment. 208.80.97.117 (talk) 23:20, 30 May 2009 (UTC)

Andy Kim

I received the following message, which I thought I would share with you, as you had a small part in recent editing on this article. Care to reply ?

Derek R Bullamore (talk) 18:39, 29 July 2009 (UTC)

In reference to Andy Kim's Biography and Year of Birth: Corrections that have been made by myself are per the LIVING ARTIST Andy Kim. If anyone has a discrepancy, please contact Andy Kim and he will confirm all data. As to the various birth years... you will find from 1932 through 1952 listed in many different websites. I, for one, see no reason to get in a fizzle over a birth year... I personally feel an artist has no need to give a birth year in a biography at all. But since this is the subject, the correct year is 1952... any discussions I have seen here are assumed and not factual. Until one knows the facts about another's life, assumptions are meaningless.

Please feel free to email Andy Kim with any questions: andy@andykimmusic.com He will be happy to answer. On a side note: Andy Kim is getting a bit annoyed with the irresponsible changes to his information on Wikipedia, especially due to some coming close to libelous. If entries can not be controlled then Wikipedia will be asked to remove the Andy Kim page and any other pages connected to the name Andy Kim.

In regards to Alex Kew. The guy is not a "british singer-songwriter". Surely evidence of some sort is needed to make such claims on a reputable site such as this? Ive ivestigated, and the guy has but two rather meager songs. I dont call myself a professional cyclist because I go for a ride every day, if you see what I mean. If anything, the article as it was (and is again now) is more of a joke than when I edited it, because its spurious and untrue. This is just my opinion of course, I only feel people should atually DO something before they go around SAYING they've done it.

MP infoboxes

Just a note. Be careful with infoboxes for MPs who become Senators. You're making it look like they sat in the same riding as an MP for the years that they were a Senator.

Samantha Fox and BLP rules

The rules regarding LGBT and religious categories on biographies of living people are found here at: WP:BLPCAT.

Mia Rose

Hi

I hope you can help as I'm a bit new to amending content on Wikpedia. My name is Nick Watt amd I am from Mia Rose's management company citizensound. We recently amended her biography on Wikipedia (which was getting very out of date and had a number of incorrect 'facts')and also added a photo of her. However, our lack of experience of amending Wikipedia has sadly meant that you had to re-edit our changes and additions, so apologies for not getting it right the first time )I did re-edit it in the hope that it was only include straight facts)!

However a couple of the changes that were made are either not factually correct or now lack context and therefore don't totally make sense. Mia's name is 'Maria Antónia Teixeira Rosa' and not 'Maria Antónia Sampaio Rosa' as the post on the Swedish Metro site claims.

Also because some of the context has had to be removed from what I'd initially written, one part of her entry now doesn't make total sense. The reason that she was asked to talk at both SIME and Google Zeitgeist was down to her success as an artist in the social media space and specifically You Tube. Mia's a great example of the new breed of web savvy social media using DIY artists. However, the context for her appearance at these two event has been lost in the edit. Is it possible to add something back in so that the statement makes more sense?

Any citations you need re You Tube can be found on the hompage of her You Tube channel(www.youtube.com/miaarose). However one of the stats is a bit harder to get at, as it is appears to be only easily available to the owner of the channel, or by adding up all the views of her 46 video's. However, as of 14.50 GMT on the 8/12/2009 Mia I can confirm that she has had 98,978,426 views of her video's.

I also posted a photo of Mia which we paid for and is supplied to anyone who wants to use it for promotional or other purposes, and we are happy for it to be used on wikipedia under a creative commons license. This photo was also supplied by us to Models 1 for use on their website, which is where Wikipedia thought the photo had come from, causing the image was removed. I responded as requested but the image still hasn't been reposted. I'm not sure what the next steps are and wether Wikipedia wil re-post the image or if I can?

We are all a bit new to this, and look foward to your response.

Regards, Citizenwatt (talk) 16:02, 8 December 2009 (UTC)

Celine Dion photo edit war

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Celine Dion. Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions on a single page within a 24-hour period. Additionally, users who perform several reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. When in dispute with another editor you should first try to discuss controversial changes to work towards wording and content that gains a consensus among editors. Should that prove unsuccessful, you are encouraged to seek dispute resolution, and in some cases it may be appropriate to request page protection. Please stop the disruption, otherwise you may be blocked from editing. As the image change is obviously disputed, this needs to be discussed towards consensus on the article talk page in accordance with the WP:EW policy. Dl2000 (talk) 01:28, 11 March 2010 (UTC)

I do believe that this template was mistakenly placed on my page. So in light of this, I'll take it off of my page, where it doesn't belong, and give it back to you. There is no edit war going on. And if you had visited the talk page of both parties, you'd see that we had come to a compromise and I had told him that he should change it back. Moreover, the three revert rule prohibits making 3 edits in a 24 hr period. According to Wikipedia time, the last time the page was edited was the 9th, then the 11th, GMT. Thank you. Orane (talk) 01:43, 11 March 2010 (UTC)

I want to apologize for the comment that I made above. In retrospect, it does seem like there was edit wars going on. But there wasn't. I ask that you read the notes left on User:BalticPat22's talk page. I've tried to reason with him, but he seems to think he owns the article. A look at the "Celine Dion" page history shows excessive reversions by the editor, as he seems dissatisfied with every edit made to it by anyone else. The issue in question had to do with an embedded note that a random editor had placed into the article a long time ago, demanding that any image changes be discussed. I've tried to make it clear to User:BalticPat22 that the note is not binding, and that while it is courteous to gain consensus to change the image, it is not a must, and that Wikipedia encourages people to "be bold" in making changes. But he doesn't seem to understand, and seems determined to hold everyone to that clause.

He reverted the page no less than three times today, and for that reason, I have blocked him. Normally, given my involvement in the issue, it would be against policies to block him. But this wasn't a content dispute. This was a case of ownership, and of a user trying to hold people to a nonexistent policy, while violating 3RR and being disruptive. If any of you disagree with my actions, you may contest the block or take it up with the administrator's notice board. Thanks. Orane (talk) 01:31, 12 March 2010 (UTC)

Celine Dion Photo Change

Thank you for bringing this "difference of opinion" to light. I normally would not have a problem with edits from other users if they made sense, but the main problem I had with this eidt is that the user, Journalist changed the photo without any consensus from anyone else, and then deleted the clause that explicitely stated "Image Changes Must Be Discussed", all the while stating that there was no consensus needed. That was a blatant lie, because he deleted the wording that contradicted his edits! Those two actions were what prompted me to write on that user's page, as well as writing on the article's discussion board. As you can see, I have been very involved with the Celine Dion article, and care deeply about it's FA status. I also know that the other user cares deeply about the article; and that is what worried me about the edits Journalist made. I tried to have a discussion with the other user, and he has ignored me.

FYI in case you weren't already aware, there's a difference between filming something and producing something; shows where the production HQ/offices are in another city may still be filmed somewhere else (for some scenes at least, but sometimes even for a whole film). I can't name specific examples just now, but when I saw your category change I was a bit concerned; imdb.com will say where a film was produced; it will also give locations where (some of) it was filmed; there's a difference....examples of this kind will include Toronto-produced shows as much as NY or LA-produced ones....and stuff like the German series Dreamship.Skookum1 (talk) 04:13, 14 March 2010 (UTC)

Canadian RPM Charts

Hi there. I have noticed you created the List of RPM number-one singles of 1988. I was wondering if you had access to the RPM Top Singles charts of late 1988 (September-December) because the collectionscanada website is missing these charts for this period. I was asking because I wanted to know the peak chart position of the Bon Jovi songs "Bad Medicine" and "Born to be My Baby". Is there anyway of obtaining this information? Thanks for taking the time to read this. Savvi72 (talk) 16:12, 23 March 2010 (UTC)

Date and time formatting

Hi, about the CTV show articles that you've been working on, I know what you were noting about WP:DATEVAR, but I had the opportunity to check out a number of Canadian news and media websites to examine which date and time formats those sites use, and the vast majority of them use the US style of month-before-day for date formatting and the 12-hour clock for time formatting, which appears to be far more common in Canada (and as the section states, "Articles on topics with strong ties to a particular English-speaking country should generally use the more common date format for that nation") and would thus apply here. Those that do use the day-before-month and the 24-hour clock formats are mainly French-language websites and other media in Quebec and in Francophone communities elsewhere in Canada. Creativity-II (talk) 06:20, 12 April 2010 (UTC)

You need to finish the rest of that first paragraph in WP:DATEVAR: "Articles related to Canada may use either format consistently." Also, it is not reliable to base stylistic decisions on some "news and media websites" (WP:NOTNEWS); fields such as government and academic usage need to be considered, as should available style guides. Regardless, your position clearly goes against established MoS policy which in turn has consensus support, particularly from recent CANSTYLE discussions. However, times of day are not as critical and for television topics the 12 hour/am/pm approach could be suitable. Dl2000 (talk) 03:30, 14 April 2010 (UTC)

DYK for A Kin to Win

Hey, thanks for adding Dan to the Juno winners category. The page is a bit of a mess, but I cannot edit it, as I am his brother. (Got in some, what I think was undeserved, COI trouble when I created the page). Could you clean it up some? Thanks so much, Dan's proud brother Dbrodbeck (talk) 02:45, 19 April 2010 (UTC)

Juliet Stevensen

Actually, that particular "doctor" (he no longer is) has in point of fact been significantly discredited, as his own Wiki page shows (with ample references.) However, I didn't think that Ms. Stevensen's page was the place to discuss his quackery. Good reminder from you, though, that I will indeed provide those references since the guy can basically be blamed for each and every death of an unvaccinated child since he published his wholly reckless "research."

and I need: Parameter 4 (text before) is the text to be shown if the current date is before the date; Parameter 5 (text current) is the text to be shown if the current date is on; Parameter 6 (text after) is the text to be shown after the date;

can You help me with that, not necessary in the same ({{Show by date}}) template! Vilnisr (talk) 09:42, 25 April 2010 (UTC)

Mia Rose

Hi,

You contacted me about amendments to the Mia Rose wiki.

I can honestly state that I have not made any modifications to the Mia Rose page - in fact I'd never heard of her until you got in touch.

I can show you my edit history if you wish me to prove this.

Many thanks,

You are now a Reviewer

Hello. Your account has been granted the "reviewer" userright, allowing you to review other users' edits on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged protection, is currently undergoing a two-month trial scheduled to end 15 August 2010.

Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under pending changes. Pending changes is applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial. The list of articles with pending changes awaiting review is located at Special:OldReviewedPages.

When reviewing, edits should be accepted if they are not obvious vandalism or BLP violations, and not clearly problematic in light of the reason given for protection (see Wikipedia:Reviewing process). More detailed documentation and guidelines can be found here.

If you do not want this userright, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. Courcelles (talk) 03:01, 17 June 2010 (UTC)

'tis an honour - thanks for this status. Dl2000 (talk) 04:11, 17 June 2010 (UTC)

Date format change

Hi, I noticed that you changed the date format from MM-DD-YYYY to DD-MM-YYYY at the Arnold Lanni article without explanation here. Just letting you know that as per WP:STRONGNAT, articles with strong national ties to Canada may use either format consistently, and it is inappropriate to change from one to the other without consensus/reasoning and especially without disclosing it in the edit summary. I see on your user page that you personally support the DD-MM-YYYY format, but it is inappropriate to arbitrarily change formats on articles unless the subject has strong national ties to the US, Australia, UK, or any other nation where either DD-MM-YYYY or MM-DD-YYYY is universally preferred (Canada isn't one of these). Thank you. — CIS ^(talk | stalk) 17:38, 19 June 2010 (UTC)

Replied over at User talk:CrazyInSane, but that was to correct an editor's earlier unexplained date format change. Dl2000 (talk) 22:59, 19 June 2010 (UTC)

You are correct. I apologize for not looking further into the matter before contacting you. I'd just seen your userpage indicating the favoritism for DD-MM format and failed to investigate further. My edit that changed the format back in 2009 was also inappropriate, I hadn't even remembered performing that edit but it must have been before I was aware of the policy. Thanks for letting me know about my error. I've self-reverted my edit at that page. Cheers. — CIS ^(talk | stalk) 23:09, 19 June 2010 (UTC)

Looks like we have consensus as to what happened - no problem in the end. Note that while my general support is for international date format, I generally try to work with the existing MoS in practice. Dl2000 (talk) 23:38, 19 June 2010 (UTC)

Style guides

Note that I removed most of your recent additions to Wikipedia talk:Manual of Style (Canada-related articles)#List of date formats used, as the list is of style guides rather than simply uses. There were two others incorrectly listed and removed; your termiumplus.gc.ca link remains. Cheers, -M.Nelson (talk) 23:35, 18 July 2010 (UTC)

Are you nuts?

An IP adress that made an edit, clearly removing the vandalism by the user before it and you revert it??? • GunMetal Angel 03:07, 22 July 2010 (UTC)

I appriciate your humor ("yes I am nuts" xD) but all I'm saying is, if you saw that; woudln't it be clear that TDWP are metal? And it doesn't stop there; I mean clearly, you have this guy who has been vandalizing pages all over the place then you have one faithful IP edit reverting some of the damage he did to the page, only one edit after his. A mistake you made? Sorry for bashing you over the head like that, but I was pretty hot when that's a vanlism-only account and was fit among the lines of such stability to give him an only-warning which will (hopefully) send out the message to him that his reign of bullshit must end.

Thanks for your keen eyes anyway, bro. Just next time make sure who's the vandal and who's not. • GunMetal Angel 04:46, 22 July 2010 (UTC)

Television and the MOS

Hi. I noticed you have been creating a lot of articles on old Canadian TV series. With reference to the manual of style here, the articles should refer to the series in the present tense. Even though they are no longer airing, they still exist. Thanks. Taroaldo (talk) 03:43, 3 August 2010 (UTC)

RPM magazine chart positions

Hello, I see you filled out the late 1988 & early 1989 RPM magazine number-one positions. Since there is no archive of those online can you fill out the number one country hits from that time frame also in 1988 in country music and 1989 in country music. Thanks.
