Canadian edit

  • I hope this is the right spot. Why is Canadian French only Quebec French? While most (like 70%) Canadian French speakers are Quebecois, there are more then a million who are not, which include 3 completely separate dialect groups (Acadian, Metis and Newfoundland French (sadly almost extinct)). I only mention this because I'm from a region that is home to one of these groups, and because I speak 'Standard Canadian' French, (that is, I learned in school,) which is different than any of the Canadian or European French dialects. (Lol, we Canadians have made French quite political...) If it were a simple matter of adding a box I'd gladly do it myself, but I would preferably change fr-ca to read Canadian French, and leave fr-ca-qc (or whatever it is) as Quebec French, which seamed like something I should do only with some sort of blessing from others. naturalnumber (talk) 07:37, 16 January 2010 (UTC)Reply

Trouble with syntax edit

I had some trouble with the syntax when adding the personal Pac NW / Cascadian English userboxes. I ended up having to put in two "usbkbottom" tags after each userbox, and I don't know why. If someone can see where I screwed up, I'd like to know, and the page code could obviously use some cleaning up. Much thanks, Vanisaac (talk) 01:09, 28 June 2011 (UTC)Reply

Found it, Fixed it. My fault. Vanisaac (talk) 01:32, 28 June 2011 (UTC)Reply
For those who run into the same problem, I had an errant "userboxtop" tag in the pages, due to the fact that I had created the userbox long ago, and just copied it over to the separate page so I could share it. I inadvertantly included my box top in with the code. Oops. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Vanisaac (talkcontribs) 01:36, 28 June 2011 (UTC)Reply
