Hey I'm just curious as to your thoughts on inline citations for provincial curling qualifications as I have done at 2011 Safeway Championship for Manitoba. It is my belief that as per WP:VERIFY WP:SOURCES and WP:IC that as much material as possible without over-saturation should be cited properly inline; so as to provide validity, cross referencing, and possible future material for editors to draw upon for red linked articles. Unfortunately I've had some disagreements with one particular editor who insists moving the references to the first introductory paragraph of the articles such as what has been done at the 2011 Manitoba Scotties Tournament of Hearts. While I'm not about to get into an editing war over such a trivial matter, I do believe that citations should follow Wikipedia guidelines and I'm looking for a third or even fourth or fifth opinion on the matter so I've come to you! Anyways please let me know your thoughts on the matter, whether to continue as originally cited or just remove them altogether as it no longer complies with Wiki formats. Cheers for now, Krazytea(talk) 20:39, 14 December 2010 (UTC)
Thanks for your help with the copy edits! Krazytea(talk) 10:31, 19 December 2010 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. It might not have been your intention, but you removed a speedy deletion tag from Stony Mountain Curling Club, a page you have created yourself. If you do not believe the page should be deleted, you can place a {{hangon}} tag on the page, under the existing speedy deletion tag (please do not remove the speedy deletion tag), and make your case on the page's talk page. Administrators will look at your reasoning before deciding what to do with the page. Thank you. Phearson (talk) 00:36, 26 January 2011 (UTC)
Hi! Do you do photo requests?
If so, there are several photos in the Ottawa area (one in Hull, QC - one in Kanata, ON) that are needed:
Thanks, WhisperToMe (talk) 05:08, 3 February 2011 (UTC)
Corrections Canada is based at 340 Laurier Avenue West Ottawa, Ontario K1A 0P9 - It doesn't have a photo posted yet. Is this convenient for you? WhisperToMe (talk) 01:35, 5 February 2011 (UTC)
Earl, I need your help for two requested moves. I was about to move both titles federal and provincial ridings of Glengarry—Prescott—Russell to a correct em dash the they can't move. The en dash is wrong. So I'm putting both articles for requsested move. You are welcome to discuss at the federal and provincial riding titles of Glengarry—Prescott—Russell for renaming at both discussion pages at both articles. Steam5 (talk) 02:39, 4 February 2011 (UTC)
Hi there, I noticed you were a member of WP:ONTARIO. I was wondering if I could ask you to weigh in on a discussion to move Greenbelt (Golden Horseshoe) to Ontario Greenbelt. The discussion is stagnant, and I'd like to gather some consensus. Thanks. --Natural RX 17:50, 13 February 2011 (UTC)

How exactly did you calculate this, out of curiousity? I can't find the source of how to do these, and I can't figure out the math, either. - 142.166.95.83 (talk) 12:10, 4 April 2011 (UTC)
Hey Earl, thanks for your work on federal riding articles. I am concerned about the commentaries that you have added to a number of articles (e.g., this one). Since you haven't provided citations to the reliable sources you are using, it will appear to some editors that you are conducting original research. Please keep WP:V in mind, and remember to add your sources. Thanks, Ground Zero | t 11:48, 5 April 2011 (UTC)

Can you have a look at this discussion and provide us with any insight as to where you got the information, please? It looks like it was probably accurate, but it really needs a source.

I noticed you are a participant of the WikiProject Quebec.
The Outline of Quebec was created a few days ago and is under vigorous development. It fills a gap in Wikipedia's set of outlines. It is the 3rd outline to date about a Canadian province/territory.
Outlines form one of the subsystems of Wikipedia's contents navigation system. For more information on outlines, see Wikipedia:Outlines and Wikipedia:WikiProject Outlines.
The goals for the Outline of Quebec is to complete it to as high a standard of quality as possible, and to make it even better than the Outline of Saskatchewan and the Outline of British Columbia.
Once the Outline of Quebec is completed, it will provide an important example to others creating outlines for the remaining provinces and territories of Canada.
Please take a look at the outline to see if you can notice (and fill in) any missing topics. Pictures would also be nice (the rarer and the more interesting, the better).
Thank you.

Hey Earl, it seems as if all talk on WT:CURLING has died. Our progress on WP:CURLING's AGs has stalled, and everything is pretty much frozen. Can you help add some discussion into the three new sections and in the AG discussion? Thanks! Prayerfortheworld (talk) 02:01, 4 July 2011 (UTC)

Hey Earl! Do you know of any other sources with the full results from the 2007 Continental Cup? I could only find the one from Curling Russia, which is rather incomplete, and the CCA's Curlcast doesn't have the 2007 results anymore, apparently. Thanks!

A tag has been placed on File:Quelng.PNG requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F2 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an image page for a missing or corrupt image or an empty image description page for a Commons-hosted image.
If you think that this notice was placed here in error, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. ~~Ebe123~~ talkContribs 21:02, 14 August 2011 (UTC)

Hey Earl! I came upon this new article: Eight-ender. It was just created, but I doubt it's notable. Some of the content is questionable; the image and its license are also questionable. Can you take a look and let me know what you think should be done? Thanks! Prayerfortheworld (talk) 06:25, 30 October 2011 (UTC)
Hey Earl, I was about to move back the article to hyphen the correct title Port Moody-Westwood. And there was an error message not to move. And some user already move and use the incorrect type of dash, that is an en dash (–). All of the British Columbia provincial ridings uses hyphen symbols on every riding name for e.g. Vancouver-West End. Could you move the article "Port Moody-Westwood" to it's correct title "Port Moody-Westwood". The article Port Moody-Westwood uses small information and the article is a stub. No requested move needed. If you read my message, go to the Port Moody-Westwood article move it correct title. OK? Thanks. Steam5 (talk) 01:50, 15 November 2011 (UTC)
Hi, I've noticed that you are the creator of the "Ward 5 (Mississauga)" page. The article needs to be updated following Bonnie Crombie's victory, but I'm not sure how to properly clean up the article. Also, this seems to be the only ward that has a page on Wikipedia.
