hey folks, talk to me here.
I have created a test case for putting school contents by district at Ottawa-Carleton district school board. Why I have done this is explained further on my user page. Anyway, I recall that there were a number of Ottawa area high schools deleted and also that you may have had a hand in them. I would appreciate it if you would put the information that was removed in the district article, where I doubt that anyone will have a problem with it. Thanks, The Steve 14:46, Nov 30, 2004 (UTC)
Hi there. I know that you are a regular contributor to Canadian election topics, and I was wondering if you thought it would be a good idea to create a Wikiproject to standardize some of these articles? --timc | Talk 02:51, 1 Dec 2004 (UTC)
Geez you're fast. Thanks for completing this table. Will you be doing the other parties? Regards, Kevintoronto 22:22, 2 Dec 2004 (UTC)
If it would help, I could e-mail you the spreadsheets I've been using. Also, I don't know if we really need to put in the recent election at the bottom of the national table as you've just done for 1972 -- after all, all of the elections are now in a box at the top of each article, and the preceding and following are at the bottom of the article, so putting these in a third time seems like overkill, doesn't it? Regards, Kevintoronto 22:58, 2 Dec 2004 (UTC)
Just to clarify, what I'm not clear on is why you would move Sudbury and Hamilton-Wentworth, but leave Ottawa-Carleton and Haldimand-Norfolk as RM of Name. I also have to point out that if "most common name" is a valid criterion, having grown up there I can unequivocally vouch for the fact that Sudbury RM was never used; it was always RM of Sudbury. I know the same pertains in Ottawa; if you purposely left Ottawa as RMOC because that was the more commonly used designation, then Sudbury definitely falls in the same category. (If you just left it because it slipped your mind, though, then I have to admit that I don't really care as long as a consistent rule -- either "most common name" or strict "Name Regional Municipality" -- is applied. Switching one but leaving the other is the part that actually bugs me about it.) Bearcat 01:28, 3 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Also
Moreover,
That user(70.49.148.143)re-moved social democratic out of the Belinda Stronach page but I put it back but SimonP won't stop the editing I even reason with him but he won't stop. In Newmarket-Aurora most moderate, socially progressive and social democratic voters did voted for Belinda Stronach and some people hope that Belinda will walk across the floor to the NDP not only that Belinda will keep the NDP sharply to the left but a better vote turn out for the NDP by next election. There is a strong posabilaty if Belinda is in the NDP Cabinent Then Jack Layton will be the Leader of the opposition or maybe Prime Minister (A 1st in the history for the NDP)- michaelm.
Ok Earl Andrew Belinda is not happy with the Conservatives and she should not trust Stephen Harper and the Conservative caucus. Belindas views,ideas and her values are more like a social democrat. And she is thinking about crossing the floor to the NDP. Jack Layton need her in the NDP caucus like yesterday - michaelm
Not yet but Keep an eye on the news media Belinda Stronach will walk a cross the floor to the NDP.
would you please unlock the Belinda Stronach page the truth must come out - michaelm
I was just in the process of de-populating this category, and I thought my bot was malfunctioning, but then I noticed that you were reverting the edits. This category was listed on WP:CFD and approved for deletion, presumably because it duplicates the list in the article The Greatest Canadian, which is annotated. If you want this category kept for some reason, you will need to bring it up there. If it's safe for me to go ahead and de-populate it, please leave me a message. Thanks! -- Beland 00:52, 13 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Hi! I see that you have created a Canadian subcategory for Category:Coastal towns but Montrealais and I have noticed several issues with many of the communities being added to this subcategory. I will highlight two which I feel are misleading:
The following examples from the subcategory are cities: Charlottetown, Sydney and Campbellton. Similarly Chester is a village, and Falmouth is not even a town (although the author of the article stated it is a village) but in fact is a "dispersed rural community".
I realize that many people now refer to the Great Lakes as being Canada's (or the United States') "fourth coast" (mostly as it relates to shipping, the St. Lawrence Seaway, and the marketing efforts of lakeshore communities) and even the Wikipedia article on coast states that a large lake may have a "coast", but I have found very few geoscientists who support this notion. I had read that NOAA apparently introduced the term for the Great Lakes as a means for some of their scientists to qualify for additional federal research funding, but that is purely conjecture. The problem here is defining what is a "large" lake - the issue could become very subjective, depending on one's particular locale.
To keep things objective, The Concise Oxford English Dictionary defines a coast as 1. the part of the land adjoining or near the sea. Some other definitions can be found at Global Oceans.
I would suggest that communities downriver of Trois-Rivières on the St. Lawrence River could be considered both coastal and riverine, however the only communities in southern Quebec that are truly coastal are those on the south coast of the Gaspé peninsula (ie. on Bay of Chaleur), communities on the Magdalen Islands, and communities on the Côte-Nord that are east of Sept-Îles (or possibly Havre-St-Pierre). Obviously communities situated directly on Hudson, James and Ungava bays are all coastal as well.
The Great Lakes is a bit murkier, given the fact that someone has included large lakes along with oceans for the definition of a coast. At any rate, the only Ontario communities that can be considered having ocean coasts that I can think of are obviously all situated on Hudson/James Bay: Moosonee, Moose Factory, possibly Galeton, Fort Albany, Kashechewan, Attawapiskat, possibly Lake River, possibly Peawanuck, and Fort Severn.
I would suggest that for Ontario communities located on the shores of the Great Lakes (and those communities in New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Michigan, Indiana, Illinois, Wisconsin and Minnesota), it would be best to create a category called "Towns on Great Lakes shorelines" or something to that effect. I also wouldn't mind seeing the source that the author/editor of the coast article used for adding large lakes into the mix since so many reference sources only assign the definition with respect to oceans, but that's another issue entirely...

What raw data/images are you using to generate arbitrary maps of BC with? Roleypolinde 03:36, 16 Dec 2004 (UTC)
I am very impressed by your Yukon map of November 26th. I have tried creating some maps of my own. But I would like to learn how to make better maps. Can you give some hints for what tools and techniques you used on that map? Thanks, and congratulations. Geo Swan 20:05, 18 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Earl: Unless you have any strong objections, I plan to revert the Russell and Assiniboia pages to their previous titles. (There used to be a provincial riding in Ontario called Russell, and I believe there was a riding in Saskatchewan called Assiniboia -- simply calling the Manitoba ridings "provincial electoral districts" doesn't quite cover all bases). I think there might be a similar problem with Springfield and St. Johns ...
(Thanks for catching the Swan River title, though.) CJCurrie 05:37, 19 Dec 2004 (UTC)
Hello. Just thought I'd let you know you forgot to include California on that map. California now as a marriage equivalent under a domestic partnership. lol It's pretty much the same exact thing.
The map may have an error in South America. There is a dark-blue 'country' (?) just to the north of Uruguay. Does this mean that a part of Brazil has adopted same-sex unions, or is that an error as I think it may be?
Hello. Please provide an edit summary. Thanks and happy edits. Hyacinth 02:28, 5 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Hey EA. Might I trouble you for a quicky move... Liberal Party of British Columbia to British Columbia Liberal Party. The latter is the registered name at Elections BC, and a past edit to fiddle with redirects on the BCLP page is preventing a quick fix on my part.

Hi Earl: I'm glad I read to the end of the page first. I'd like to use a copy of your Manitoba map and mark on it Manitoba Hydro generating stations and the Nelson River Bipole transmission lines. Do you see any concerns here? It's probably easier to use your map than try to get permission to use the map included in the MH annual report, which I'll use as a reference. (Of course I'll identify the map source)

I happened to be at the Billings Bridge Transitway Station the other day, and took a photo. I now discover I probably shouldn't have bothered because you already added pictures to that article. However I do feel my picture, seen on the right, turned out somewhat better better than the ones that are there now. Mostly this is just because I was there on a bright and sunny day. Would you object if I replaced one of your photos? - SimonP 14:13, Feb 12, 2005 (UTC)
That site is wrong. They were called "Municipality of Cumberland" up until amalgamation because they could never inc as a City because they didn't have the population, and felt that marketing themselves as a "Township" was bad to attract new residents. So they changed their name. Spinboy 07:35, 15 Feb 2005 (UTC)

I’d like to get some consensus on what to do about colours in the elections charts, but I don’t want to get into a revert war, so I’m asking people to express their opinions here before any changes are made. Since you have contributed to these pages, I’m inviting your comments. I am initiating this discussion because some of the colours that are currently being used are too dark for some monitors so that it is difficult to read the text. The point of adding colours to the charts is to make it easier for readers to derive information from the charts. This goal is foiled by using colours dark enough to obscure the text. The Wikipedia style guide is clear on the issue:
So let’s choose some colours that are light enough that red Wilkilinked text and blue Wikilinked text are both easy to read through.

Got your comment. I didn't realize that the qualifying in the ECC only qualified the country and not necessarily the team. I updated the list to agree with , but the ones that are listed there appear to be the same as the ones that won in the ECC.

As of March 25, 2005, there are an additional (6) articles listed for deletion under the POV notion that schools are non-notable (even though this is invalid reasoning as per the Wikipedia deletion policy). Please be aware that the following schools are actively being discussed and voted upon:

I'm not sure why you mention IOC codes, most of the usages of these templates are in political articles, eg European parliament pages.
I'd actually suggest going to full spelled-out names, eg Template:CROATIA, to make it foolproof and for maximum flexibility.

How is typing {{PEOPLE'S REPUBLIC OF CHINA}} any longer than typing [[People's Republic of China]] ? It's the exact same thing, except uppercased and using curly braces instead of brackets.
Remember, the only places we'd use the templates are places where we're replacing the existing text. So this is the exact same number of bytes. -- Curps 06:47, 27 Mar 2005 (UTC)
The problems with three-letter codes of any kind are:
Well, five-letter codes are still a problem, because they'd be our invention and therefore completely non-standard. Do we really want to force everyone who wants to edit an article to memorize our list of five-letter codes... this is a big barrier to the fundamental principle of "anyone can edit Wikipedia". The Wikipedia community at large would probably object to this, and revert our changes. -- Curps 07:09, 27 Mar 2005 (UTC)
Uh, do we not want what? To try to prevent others from editing Wikipedia? I'm not sure I'm following you. -- Curps 07:12, 27 Mar 2005 (UTC)
Well, actually, I think this might need to be proposed to the Wikipedia community at large before it's widely implemented. I believe Wikipedia:Village pump (news) is the standard place for announcing new templates. I do anticipate there could very well be objections to the perceived cryptic nature of three-letter or five-letter codes. The idea of including flags is a cool one, but it's the specific implementation that people might object to. This probably needs some wider input and consensus. -- Curps 07:26, 27 Mar 2005 (UTC)

I feel that you have added the Ottawa stub template to far to many articles. You marked over two hundred pages with it, the vast majority of pages we have relating to Ottawa. Please remember that a stub is defined as " a very short article, generally of one paragraph or less." Moreover marking almost everything with the template makes it useless as it is impossible to find those pages that are actually much in need of expansion. - SimonP 17:59, Apr 6, 2005 (UTC)

In November 2003, there was a VfD debate over Sunset High School (Portland). The debate was archived under Talk:Sunset High School (Portland). What to do with the article is still being contested and has been recently re-nominated for VfD at Wikipedia:Votes for deletion/Sunset High School (Portland).
I am writing to you because you have participated in such debates before. There still does not exist a wikipedia policy (as far as i can tell) over what to do in regards to articles about specific U.S. public school.

Sorry about the delay responding—caught me between work and home, actually. :)
I'm open to the idea of finding a way to "hardwire-in" political logos to the template system—in general I'm fond of visual stuff and the like, so don't take the revert as a slight against the notion of eyecandy. The only problem is that the logos aren't constant time-period-to-time-period and province-to-province-to-federal... so when you stuck in the federal Liberal logo, for instance, it immediately appeared over provincial liberal candidates on provincial election pages using that template, and had we hypothetically finished off a 2000 election page with a candidate list, the 2003 Martin-era swoosh would have been appearing where the Chretien-era ||| * L should have been.
I'm pondering ways to adapt the template system so there might be wiggle room for varying logos, but nothing simple is coming to mind right now... the only thing that's coming to mind is to code a different set of templates for each party in each timeframe in each jurisdiction, which seems to be running contrary to the original notion of simplifying things for wikipedians. I'll give it some more thought; if you can come up with some possible workarounds I'll be all-ears. -The Tom 23:35, 15 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Earl - one thing at a time, Ok? It's easier to create them in big batches with a semi-automated process (not a robot, just a handy template), then go back and disambig as necessary when the federal districts are created. Page moves are easy, and I'm aware of the issue. Besides, the conflict doesn't exist until such time as the federal article is created. Fawcett5 12:49, 20 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Earl, another question has arisen about the electoral district articles... It has been pointed out to me that the use of emdashes in article titles has been deprecated in the MoS (they don't display properly in some browsers, and can't be typed from the keyword, so searches fail). This causes a problem for articles that use both hyphens and emdashes in the title, but I don't see much alternative but to use hyphens. Sometimes the hyphen part can reasonably be replaced with a space (imaginary example St-Wombat—Quokka would become St. Wombat-Quokka). What's your take on this? I have already created lots of articles with emdashed titles, but these can be easily moved to the hyphenated version, which will also make a suitable redirect. Also, what about when a district changes names from "Wombat and Quokka" to "Wombat—Quokka"? It seems silly to have a separate article, so which format do you think should be used for the article name? Note that there are already a couple of instances where probable duplicate articles have been created, but by cruising the defunct electoral district categories, it usually becomes obvious when such near-name duplicates occur - I plan to go through when all the articles are created and redirect some of these to their twin. Fawcett5 01:59, 26 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Good work, Earl Andrew. Now all you need to do is go through, put in PP. after the Latin name (it's part of their "official name"). I didn't look back past JPI, but have you gone back to Peter? You probably should. Given that you are fighting for standardisaton, you should probably address that lack.Grace Note 23:34, 20 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Your argument for adding them was that they are the "official" name. Now you say you don't want the official name, just the Latin name. What is your justification for using the Latin name?Grace Note 00:04, 21 Apr 2005 (UTC)
I'm not arguing aesthetics, Earl Andrew. There was an agreement on the infobox talk page not to use Latin names. You breached it, insisting that you wanted to use official names, as are used on Robert Kocharyan. But you didn't use the official name and now say you don't want to. I am going to revert your changes. It's a lot of unnecessary work for me, but I feel that the boxes should not carry Latin translations without good reason. Earl Andrew wants it is not good reason.
I'm only going to revert once and I won't check the pages. I trust you not to do it again without talking to me and convincing me of the rightness of your position. I'm not fundamentally opposed to the official names and I want you to be happy with the outcome. I just don't think you convinced me. Grace Note 00:18, 21 Apr 2005 (UTC)
I just wanted to let you know that I enjoyed your chart on List of political parties in Canada. I'm surprised that there hasn't been a bunch of debate about this. Props for the pretty picture and for daring the controversy. I think it might be useful to add the social freedom/economic freedom basis for the axes in the legend by way of explanation. Can I ask how did you decide to put which party where? Ground Zero 21:51, 23 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Earl, since you're a Canadian, and you're interested in time zones, I'm hoping you can help me clear up some of the misinformation in the time zone articles. My big question is: who named the Canadian time zones? This is of particular interest because three Canadian zones have the same name as their U.S. equivalent. So it would be useful to know whether Canada has an agreement with the U.S. about this, or just chose the same names to avoid confusion.
I'd also like to know who draws the boundaries. In the U.S., Congress draws them, and everybody has to go along. I gather things are more granular in Canada, but I'd like to get specifics. ---Isaac R 08:00, 24 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Can we keep the discussion on your talk page? I don't mind watching it, and I find it confusing to switch back and forth.
I didn't expect you to know the answer off the top of your head. Sometimes you have to go out and do some actual offline research. In this case, somebody needs to go to a reference librarian and ask for help finding out who controls the naming and boundaries of Canadian time zones. I could do it, but a Canadian librarian would be a lot more likely to have the right documents at hand. ---Isaac R 20:10, 24 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Hi Earl. I saw your updated Gay laws map. You appear to have changed Australia to mostly allowing civil unions, which is news to me. Are you sure this is true? Also, next time you update it (if you do), can you change it from "Homosexuality legal"? Not everyone uses the word "homosexuality" to refer to sex, generally only the sexuality itself. It is the sodomy/anal sex/gay sex which is illegal in those countries. Thanks and good work. - Mark 09:20, 16 May 2005 (UTC)

Good day Earl. User:Maclean25 and I have been co-operating on beginning articles for the BC ridings. I think we have a real good start and it may be time to consider how they will be "fleshed out".
User:Maclean25 posted the following issues my talk page for consideration and I think an opinion from a "seasoned" political editor such as yourself would be helpful.
Cheers, DoubleBlue (Talk) 14:02, 21 May 2005 (UTC)
P.S. My comments on these questions are posted at Maclean25's talk page.
Just a question for you. The Ontario NDP is placed closer to the center than the federal NDP, and I just want to know if that was intentional? I think Howie Hampton is more of a socialist than Layton is. Layton is more libertarian than Hampton is, but I think politically Howie's NDP is more socialist in nature.
You can't really compare provincial seats to federal seats. The federal NDP vote was 20% in Ontario, and in the provincial election it was 14%. Also, Howie doesn't seem to like Bob Rae. He still is pissed about the public auto thing. If you look at Howie he has said that he thinks swedish socialism is the best way to go, which, in Ontario isn't all that moderate. I don't think a major change is needed, just a shift to at least the federal NDP point.
Thanx abunch
I noticed you renamed articles like Fort Severn, Ontario to Fort Severn 89, Ontario to add the number. While this is the official designation, I thought Wikipedia convention is to use the most common name. So in the case of Fort Severn, shouldn't we just go by "Fort Severn" without the 89? Samw 03:15, 25 May 2005 (UTC)
I overwrote your edit to the regions in NB. I understand your desire to have cities distinct, but it is not really plausible in New Brunswick as there are a number of ridings that are parts of one city and parts not. The ridings of Saint John-Fundy and Saint John-Kings include large portions of areas which are not a part of the city of Saint John (this is why they have a hyphen and the other SJ seats do not). Moncton Crescent also contains large parts of both the city of Moncton and areas outside of the city. - Jord 19:09, 25 May 2005 (UTC)
Hm. For one, that column is in variance to those used for other NHL team articles, and is overly wide for the text contained.
For a second, there's no need for a "current" coach or a "current" general manager. Most people will figure out that the sole people listed as coaches or GMs are the current incumbents.
For a third, "North-American" is not the proper form for the appellation.
For a fourth, very few people (if any) who view the article will need to be informed that the National Hockey League is a North American league; it would be difficult for a league that encompassed Ottawa to be anything but.
I just now noticed the brightened image you put up about a month ago - I found it a bit too washed out and grainy. I downloaded the original and played with contrast and gamma, and uploaded again - hopefully this new one works a bit better... Radagast 22:26, Jun 1, 2005 (UTC)

I'm running to the biggest political geography nuts I know of for a hand here. I'm rather displeased with the article at Canadian Senate Divisions which strongly seems to imply Senate divisions are anything more than political ephemera that dance in the minds of Senators. It was anonymously assembled, and on further examination it seems someone called Cloveious is now putting together articles like Calgary Senate division which perpetuate the mistake on the first article and treat senate tags as if they were ridings--"created from" older divisions on certain dates, and so on. That definately seems VfDish. Just wondering if you had any commentary for the Talk page -The Tom 18:45, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)
I think there may be a problem with the Australia section. Whilst the Same-sex marriage article is (to my knowledge) true in saying that " Australia currently recognizes same-sex partnerships in all but two of its territories: Victoria and South Australia.", these "partnerships" do not (again, to my knowledge), as the civil union article says, have a "civil status similar to marriage". Tasmania is the only state with civil unions, and thus for Australia, this revision is the correct one. See also Same-sex marriage in Australia for more details.
Could this be updated? Thanks, and HTH Dysprosia 02:45, 8 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Sorry for reverting your changes so fascistly. I was (am) frustrated by a lot of the changes made by another user and got carried away. I read the article you pointed me to regarding Whites and am still not convinced that they are technically thought of as a race by statisticians, but I could be wrong. The term Caucasian actually encompasses more and I think it is more correct. Doesn't matter. With regard to religions, you're right, Airdrie is pretty homogenous anyway. Thought about it after, and I think an "other" category is probably the simplest way out there. I will add it back. Once again, I apologize for my frustration. -Tyson2k
Also, thank-you for pointing out that Aboriginals were not considered visible minorities. I was not aware of that. -Tyson2k
There's no obvious link I could see on how to send you a personal message.
How do you change the title of an article? I'd like to change Jean Blaquiere to Jean Blaquiére (adding the accent), although admittedly, it is easier to use the Search function when one does not need to include the accent in typing the name.

Please stop reverting population figures to 2001 StatsCan info on Alberta pages. These are well researched census figures from municipal governments. They are completely legit. However, I'm not suprised that you were confused as it appears that someone went ahead and relabelled them "2005" when they are actually 2004 numbers. - Tyson2k
I haven't seen it be updated in a long time. If it has, I appologize, but I don't think constantly changing data should appear at Wikipedia, unless someone wants to do the legwork to make sure it's up to date. I guess one can always put at "as of (date)" on top of that, but what's the point if this can be better serve as a link to an outside source (as opposed to being a direct paste from one)? --Dryazan 20:45, 19 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Hi Earl Andrew! I must say I'm mightily impressed by the number of Canadian geo-stubs that have your name on them... just thought you'd like to know that Wikipedia:WikiProject Stub sorting has split four subcategories from Category:Canada geography stubs because it was getting too big for editors to find their way around easily. Next time you go on a stub-making geographic spree, you might find them - particularly {{Ontario-geo-stub}} more useful than the generic {{Canada-geo-stub}} (it would help us, too , because then we wouldn't have to re-sort them later!). The other three, BTW, are {{BrColumbia-geo-stub}}, {{Alberta-geo-stub}}, and {{Quebec-geo-stub}}. Between them, these four accounted for about 80% of Canada's geography stubs, and none of the other provinces had anywhere near the sort of criterion levels for splitting off more subcategories. Grutness...wha? 12:01, 25 Jun 2005 (UTC)
Sorry, I misunderstood the numbers, that's why I kept putting "in millions" instead of "in thousands" on the page List of countries by number of active troops. I must say, it's very confusing because no one thinks of 1 million troops as 1,000 x 1,000? --Mb1000 28 June 2005 16:23 (UTC)
Hey Earl. Thanks for bring that to my attention-- I'm a little grumpy, because getting all the templates-within-templates working there was a really drawn-out process and I was really glad when it came out looking quite nice. I think what happened was someone converted how the wikimarkup for tables converts over to HTML, so the code that used to place cells horizontally now spits them out stacked. I think I'll go exploring this on the wild wooly frontier of MediaWiki (or whereever it is that that stuff gets set) tomorrow. -The Tom 30 June 2005 06:07 (UTC)

All coverage of the events are referring to it as Live 8 Canada and I don't even think I've heard Barrie mentioned. Yes, I know it says that on the web site, but when it so blatantly says "Canada" across the back of the stage I think that has more weight to it.
No, there wasn't "consensus" on the talk page. There wasn't even a discussion. Before reverting (particularly with an inappropriate "WTF?") you should've taken it there to put across your view, and I'd appreciate it if you did that now. violet/riga (t) 2 July 2005 21:19 (UTC)

I've noticed you have been creating several articles on parishes and such in New Brunswick; as well as other census subdivisions in other provinces. As a native New Brunswicker, I can assure you that few, if any, locals talk about parishes, and I'd be willing to bet fewer than 10-20% of New Brunswickers even know they exist. They have little legal status today, other than for census purposes, historical research and in surveying. I don't see the point of these long-winded articles, and would instead suggest that articles be written on individual communities instead. Kirjtc2 3 July 2005 06:09 (UTC)
I am somewhat mystified at your insistent reversions. The original Ottawa Senators/Silver Seven won more Cups, won more games, had more Hall of Famers, and had more league championships up to the end of the Western/Pacific league than any other team, and not by some, by a LOT. This is no more a "point of view" than are claims that Wayne Gretzky is the greatest scorer in NHL history. I'll ask again; if you think any early franchise's accomplishments approach that of Ottawa's, let's hear what you have to say.

Hi again - I've just done a recount of the Canada geo-stubs to see whether any more provinces are likely to need their own, and I was stunned by the number that you seem to have either started or edited.

I couldn't help but notice the new election table added for Surrey North. Is this a standard table that is to go on every riding? The tables I have been usng for the BC federal & provincial ridings was based on the 2005 British election boxes modified for more useful info (still haven't figured out how to put # of Electors in there though). These ones are small, easily digestible, and full of info. I looked for some templates before I started but only found the British ones and some standard boxes. I discussed it with you (see above) and DoubleBlue. I've saw the new tables elsewhere but was under the impression that those kind of tables would be kept in the general election pages.

I have been updating some links on some of your Canadian politician pages. I have seen the terms "riding", "critic", and "reeve" used. If "critic" has a specific meaning in Canadian politics, it might be a good idea to add a page for this, or add it onto the current Critic page. Also, I had to look up the words "riding" and "reeve" in reference to Canadian and British politics. I'm sure most English speakers outside Canada and the U.K. (i.e., people in the U.S.A.) probably have no idea what these words mean. It would be helpful to make this an internal link to Riding and Reeve if you do any more of these pages on Canadian politicians. I have been adding such links where the terms are found on a page.

Hi Earl I was just wondering, How do you get the Canadian flag in front of your name???
regarding Acton Regional County Municipality, Quebec
When I referred to the "official" web site, I was referring to http://www.mrcacton.qc.ca/Municipalites.htm (in more than one spot), which calls the members of the MRC "municipalities". I understand that is now the legal division/jurisdiction, *after* the reorganization done in the 1990s. Within those municipalities there might be a "town" or a "village". But I thought those had no legal signficance.
If you go to one example, http://st-theodore.com/, you'll see what you call a parish, calls itself a municipality. Anyway, I am confused as to why you oppose you the terms of the MRC and municipalities themselves.

Please visit the official web site of the MRC of Acton, and see the map labels this exactly "Roxton Canton". It is not "Roxton (Canton)". There is no basis for calling it just "Roxton".
Take a look at Media:Municipal Regional County of Acton Map.gif Since this is used in the MRC article, you now have a situation where we're showing an official map, that disagrees with wikipedia's name. There's no community that's just "Roxton". It's Roxton Canton. --rob 05:06, 28 July 2005 (UTC)
Check out the only *official* source, here:
These two web sites are the *only* authority. That's it.
Official MRC map showing "Roxton Canton".
OK, I have cited more than one official source. That is wikipedia policy. I intend to ensure this change is done. You had no basis whatsoever for reverting it. The fact you did two moves within minutes of each other, shows you did not know what the wikipedia rules require (how could both moves be "required"). You are not the authority on "Roxton Canton". The authority is "Roxton Canton", and the MRC of Acton. That's it. They set the rules. --rob 05:30, 28 July 2005 (UTC)
Forgetting about Roxton for a moment. Since, you're intent on doing mass reverts, please consider checking what other changes have been done. For instance, I previously fixed a huge break in text caused by "stacked images", by moving a map to a lower section. You undid this.

First, I want to thank you for the great Yukon map, which was just perfect for the Geography of the Yukon article I wrote. But I did notice two typos in the southwestern corner: Katherine Lake should be Kathleen Lake and Dezadeash Lake is spelled that way, not Dezedeash. It would be great if you could fix those, at your convenience of course.Luigizanasi 05:35, 3 August 2005 (UTC)
Hi, Andrew. Might I ask why you reverted my change in the China template? You used the rollback button to revert it, and thus your edit summary contains no information regarding your reasons. Btw, I don't know if you're seeing it, but your user page is showing completely messed up in my browser... Regards, Redux 01:29, 4 August 2005 (UTC)
There are a number of federal ridings in Quebec that share their names with provincial ridings, including Mount Royal. That's why I moved it to "Mount Royal (federal electoral district)". See Talk:List of Canadian federal electoral districts. - Farquard 05:35, 4 August 2005 (UTC)

I note that you have unblocked Ril. In the reason field of the unblock form, you typed "As per request."
Do you have any further rationale? I do not have the text of -Ril-'s request available to me and therefore have no idea why you felt that unblocking was appropriate.

Hi, I'm just wondering why you unblocked -Ril- on August 8th in the middle of his 3RR block? You said "per request," but surely there was more reason than that. I'm just wondering because Ril's constant 3RRs and disruption is a major part of his current arbcom case. I'm not really second guessing you, I'd just like to see your justification (sorry if you already gave it somewhere, but I couldn't find it). Dmcdevit·t 22:19, August 15, 2005 (UTC)
Wow, you did a great job at adding the "right" logos to the teams, especially for the NHL seasons. I was wondering if you had a logo for the New York Americans. I have started an article at 1941-42 NHL season but don't have a logo for that team. I used your logos for the other six teams, though. Also, soon I will be rewriting and expanding the New York Americans article and it would be a great help if you were to toss in a logo there too. Thanks! Masterhatch 18 August 2005

The admin powers will enable me to patrol for vandals more effectively, amongst other things. I promise to use my new powers for good, and not to inflict the retribution on my enemies that they so richly deserve, as tempting as that may be. ;-) And for the record, I am a Red tory, i.e., the kind that will have no truck nor trade with Stephen Harper and his miserable band of bigots and neo-cons.

I'm not sure why you deleted items on my recent posting to the topic. I added info about the new mayor (which you deleted) and information about 8 Wing Trenton which is the biggest employer in Quinte West (which you also deleted). Yes, I also deleted the communities that were listed because it looked messy and hardly any of them had stories written about them. At the minimum, I ask you to please repost my info about the mayor and 8 Wing Trenton. --Shanmac 18:36, 22 August 2005 (UTC)

Hi - is there any reason not to use the simple ASCII character "-" instead of e.g. — especially in article names themselves...? Evercat 21:11, 1 September 2005 (UTC)
I think that "provincial electoral constituency" is the more accurate name. Manitoba uses "ridings" to denote federal seats, and "constituencies" to denote provincial seats; it makes sense to use "constituency" in the page title, as such.
Also, I've just finished creating a "provincial electoral constituency" category for Manitoba to replace the "provincial electoral district" category. CJCurrie 01:23, 4 September 2005 (UTC)
When I first created the Manitoba constituency pages, I wasn't clear on the terminology of "constituencies" vs "ridings" -- for that reason, I chose "district" as a neutral, descriptive term.
I've been (gradually) correcting the pages over the last few weeks. CJCurrie 01:47, 4 September 2005 (UTC)
Thanks for the link to the OHL arena guide. If you read it closely, though, it doesn't say the junior Oshawa Generals became the senior Whitby Dunlops. It just has a stray sentence about the Dunlops. Any reference about Bobby Orr will tell you he played for the Oshawa Generals, not for the Dunlops. He couldn't have played for the Dunlops because they were a senior team, which is how they won the world championship, which is restricted to senior teams (no junior championships in those days).
I must admit the sources which would definitively settle this are either incomplete or missing. Here's a notion, though – I'll go look up some old sports sections at the reference library. John FitzGerald 22:04, 5 September 2005 (UTC)
I finally got round to doing a little research, which I have reported at Talk:Oshawa Generals. John FitzGerald 20:09, 27 September 2005 (UTC)

Re: Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Toronto-area roads
Hi, I know you've been here longer than me, and are an admin, and probably know the rules better than I do, but I still thought I should mention that votes in AFD are often (not always) thrown out by some (not all) closers, when the voter doesn't specify a reason (any reason, even a two-letter abbreviation or a "per above" is good enough for the vote to count). Sometimes, people are surprised when an article is deleted, when most people vote to keep. It even happens when others already gave a reason, and somebody figures, there's no need to be redundant. Anyway, if you already heard of this, than just ignore this message. --rob 10:50, 20 September 2005 (UTC)

I checked it out per your MSN message. Not sure if you were looking for anything in particular but all-in-all I thought it was pretty good. My only question is about this line:
Some of the items in their seem redundant and/or backward. Unless I am mistaken, I don't think any province elects by census division or subdivision but instead, Statistics Canada establishes these divisions based on municipal boundaries. If my above assumption is correct, I would suggest you replace the above with the following (I've also removed what I view as redundant):

Hi, Earl,
The team which moved to Whitby to become the Dunlops was the Oshawa Truckmen, a senior team. The source of the confusion of the Generals with the Dunlops seems to be an ambiguous passage in a history of the Oshawa Generals I found. More detail at Talk:Oshawa Generals. The history has a lot of interesting nformation about the Generals which I will use to flesh out the article. John FitzGerald 20:35, 3 October 2005 (UTC)

Hey, I saw your edits to the Alta Vista article, and i just wanted to ask you some questions. If Heron road is added to the boundries, then that excludes a trigle of land where Ridgemont high and Charles H. Hulse schools are... this map from the city's site, shows alta vista (#1) as including this triangle, as does this one from the OCDSB, showing the schools. do you think this triangle should be excluded from the neighbourhood and these schools deleted from the list? Also, how does the list of sub-hoods compare to the ones i put originally.... is there a 'core' alta vista area like the one i defined... what about canterbury? this is where i got some of my info from. let me know what you think. --Someones life 21:18, 12 October 2005 (UTC)
Hello,
I'd like to compliment you on the election maps. You obviously have put a great deal of time into them. I'm therefore hesitant to make any kind of criticism. However, I have to say that I cannot tell the difference between the NDP colours and the Liberal colours on your maps. Part of this is because I am colourblind, but another user told me that he can't tell the difference between the red and orange either.
Again, while I hate to ask you to do any more work, I'd like to make the following recommendations regarding the maps:
Please keep up the good work on the maps and articles.
Mwalcoff 00:57, 14 October 2005 (UTC)
I have been thinking of putting some of the historical logos of the parties on thier respective pages and I am wondering if you can help. I have seen your Liberal logo on the convention page, it looks good, but you may need to change the canadian leaf in it see. I can probably find the NDP logos and some of the Liberal logos, but do you know where to fing some of the historical PC logos? MS123
There is a page where some old campaign button are available and pictured Have a look, it may come in handy. MS123
I have a logo from the PC leadership convention in 1956. It is photo in a copy of Diefenbaker's memoirs. MS123
OK, I've uploaded an edited version of the map under the filename bc2005-3.png I reduced the number of colours and changed the oranges to blue-green. If you use this map, you lose some of the detail but gain in ease of use. There's a possibility that some people more colourblind than I am might still have trouble differentiating between the light red and the light blue-green. I tried using yellow for the NDP, but light yellow looks really ugly. -- Mwalcoff 01:38, 16 October 2005 (UTC)

Just a heads-up: as this article involves re-created deleted material I took it to Wikipedia:Votes for undeletion. While there, please read the "Purpose" box for future reference. Also, as you are obviously an advocate of road-related articles, please read the arguments against such articles (in related VfD) and help allay our fears while engaging in future editing.

Hey Earl, I wonder what your opinion is when there is a federal and provincial electoral district of the same name in two different provinces? The issue cropped up on Queen's (electoral district)... there was Queens (Nova Scotia electoral district) which was the page of a federal district but there was also Queens (provincial electoral district) which was a provincial district in Nova Scotia but there was also a provincial district of the same name in New Brunswick. To sort out this confusion, I created the following:
User:Fawcett5 thinks that this is a violation of naming convention, however in my view it is the only way to disambiguate when you have a district of the same name in different provinces at different levels of government.
What are your thoughts? - Jord 16:32, 21 October 2005 (UTC)
Looks like you and Jord beat me to the punch. I have been planning and designing for a couple weeks a brain storming session on federal electoral district articles (I'm usually not in any particular hurry). My plan is layed out here: User:Maclean25/Federal Electoral Districts. Please review it and let me know what you think, especially about the format (ie. will it achieve its intended goal?). It may be complimentary to the Wikipedia:WikiProject Electoral districts in Canada you created. However, it is intended for only federal ridings because I believe provincial debate would get bogged down in regional issues. As an admin, perhaps you could move it from my userspace to the project(?)space. And about that Woodroffe affair (heh), I totally did not forsee that circus coming, and I did not intend to get you in any trouble, my beef was with the article, no hard feelings, eh? --maclean25 08:00, 23 October 2005 (UTC)
This is how I understand it from here: the riding was created as Gloucester-Carelton in 1996, renamed as Carelton-Gloucester in 1997, and then as Ottawa-Orleans in 2000. This why I had the funny piping in the link. I intend to start a campaign to rename it one last time to "Bernice" and leave it at that. Ground Zero | t 22:51, 25 October 2005 (UTC)
I am not sure which specific maps you speak of, I did change all the election maps, however all I changed was the PC colour because I thought PC's should be lighter. I didn't change the NDP colours. MS123
Psssst, Earl...an em-dash in the name of a town? Canada only uses em-dashes in the names of electoral districts, remember? Not towns and cities. It is Saint-Lin-Laurentides with a plain old run-of-the-mill hyphen, because it's not a riding, it's a plain old run-of-the-mill municipality.
Oh, by the way, I also restored Narcisse-Fortunat Belleau, although I've stripped it back down to a stub. If you want to expand it back up to snuff, feel free...just don't cut and paste text directly from the Dictionary of Canadian Biography. Bearcat 05:40, 5 November 2005 (UTC)
Hi, I notice you often reference the "Quebec federation of municipalities" and give http://www.mamr.gouv.qc.ca/cgi-bin/repert1.pl as the link. I don't speak French, but I don't think those two things are the same. The link you gave, is to Regional/Municipal Affairs for the Quebec provincial government, which is obviously the appropriate authority to cite when discussing municipalities. But the organization "Quebec federation of municipalities" is actually http://www.fqm.ca/index.asp, and seems to be a voluntary assocation of members, with no special powers or authority over anything (and appears to partner with the Regional/Municipal Affairs for Quebec, but not be the same thing). --rob 06:44, 5 November 2005 (UTC)
I noticed you left a comment (weak keep) in Alan Shefman's page that is up for deletion. Although Vaughan is one of the fastest growing cities in Candada it is still far from being a big city. Vaughan is less than half the size of Mississaga and there councillors don't even meet the critiria to be posted. The mayor of Vaughan doesn't even have an article and this is even questionable if he deserves an article. Eyeonvaughan 5 November 2005
I noticed you created an article for a BC Electoral Area at Peace River C, British Columbia. I, too, have been thinking about how to best structure the regional district articles and how to deal with the electoral areas. However, instead of separate articles for each I'm leaning towards including the E.A.s into the parent regional district article like in Fraser Valley Regional District, British Columbia at least until I see there is enough info to split it off. But there really isn't much difference between them, they are like 'wards' in Ottawa or Toronto (but rural). Their borders exist solely for political reasons (to cover enough people to justify one director on the Board) and don't follow any historical or natural feature boundary. So, I'm not sure how to expand an E.A. article beyond the stub you create with census data and a little geography (since it is a geographic area). If you think a separate article is best, how do you plan to fill it? Perhaps create a complete test article to see if justifies an separate article or can be better presented in the R.D. article. --maclean25 02:52, 6 November 2005 (UTC)

I removed the list of MPs from Dawson Creek, British Columbia. The article is already past the "suggested size" of 30Kb and I don't think that MPs had that much impact on the city. Also, many of them governed before the city was even incorporated. Perhaps a list of mayors would be more appropriate for cities. I appreciate the thought, it would definately be in a subpage dealing strictly with Government and politics of Dawson Creek. This may happen as there is a lot more I want to add, too. --maclean25 04:17, 24 November 2005 (UTC)
Hi there Earl Andrew. I've begun work on historical election districts in British Columbia and wondering if I can draw on your cartographic skills; the Elections BC site doesn't have any maps, nor any riding descriptions, which at least the Elections Canada site has for its historical ridings (which also need Wikimaps, btw); first one up is Lillooet (electoral district) and I just made a link to Victoria (British Columbia electoral district) (long name required because of same-name federal riding) and its predecessor Victoria City (British Columbia electoral district), which expired in 1966 and needs the stuff in parantheses because of the Victoria City area of HK. in its wikilink as I don't know if there was a federal riding by that name yet. Just asking; not sure where you got yours from or if you hand-drew the boundaries, and gather it can be a lot of work. Also wanted to turn you onto a resource if you don't know about it already: http://maps.gov.bc.ca BC Govt Maps Online Skookum1 05:14, 24 November 2005 (UTC)
Wrote up some stuff last night before bed and meant to leave a quick reference over to it there; I didn't want to clutter up your own talk page with my georamblings; links to map resources there and here are two links to rough drafts I made of the Coast Chilcotin boundary this morning, using the Elections Can site as a guideline: http://www.cayoosh.net/CoastChilcotinBoundaryPts.jpg and http://www.cayoosh.net/CoastChilcotinBoundaryRough.jpg.
The boundary points are the only ones that I can identify; the others listed on the EC page are the eastern and southeastern edge of the Lillooet Land District, so I dotted the boundary in that area as I'm not sure where it is; only a rough idea; can't access the L.D. display on Basemap/LDRWC for some reason; will have to refer to paper maps or other sources; some of those semi-horizontal lines on the solid boundary are supposed to be horizontal (lines of latitude). Eyeballed the north boundary of North and West Vancouvers, and some of the smaller islands I didn't take the time to hunt down but they're unpopulated, more or less, and the channel information gave me a good idea where to go. Ocean boundary on west is indeterminate but I did my best; fairly simple north from there, although there's a jiggle that doesn't quite show in my sloppy work; again unpopulated, probably, so no biggie. Eastern boundary is an issue for me, as it will determine which towns are in/out of the riding.Skookum1 18:25, 24 November 2005 (UTC)
Sorry, re your message; I've got the "too much information" disease and was just trying to be thorough about the online resources and my background in prominence work. Immediate project is just to make a better-looking map than my rough draft for the Coast Chilcotin boundary, which is the second link below:
Can't be certain about that eastern boundary because I have to find a map with the Lillooet Land District boundaries on it; I have a rough idea but for now what's on the map will do. Just do that one; only federal boundaries are in the offing; I'll have a look and see what defunct federal electoral districts in BC are already in Wikipedia, then generate some other roughed-out boundary maps to work from.Skookum1 02:43, 25 November 2005 (UTC)
No problem; no rush intended, and good luck with your exams and papers. I'll come up with other ridings as mentioned just above. My MSN is ma_cleven(at)hotmail.comSkookum1 02:54, 25 November 2005 (UTC)
