Hi Qyd, I do appreciate your contributions to wikipedia, and it looks like you put a lot of time and effort into many areas. I respect your opinion. As you may know, I added medhatblog.com today and you removed it as per the rules. I do not run medhatblog, and I have no personal interest or stake in it. But I do think it is a very relevant website. It discusses local issues, and has some very good articles, breaking news, etc on the city of medicine hat. Im not sure how long it has been around, but more than year for sure. my point is, its not a flash in the pan like so many blogs these days. I read the rules, and blogs are allowed if they relevant, or written by someone of interest. If you do not agree, I wont argue. but I truly think that medhatblog is a service to community. it seems to be very popular, and I think it deserves to me on wikipedia. Sincerely, Richard rmunro@gmail.com Dspiral 23:23, June 5, 2007

I seen your latest edits to the Alberta articles and I thought this conversion template {{Pop density km2 to mi2}} might help you out. See Caroline, Alberta for an example. I think that I may need to add "inhabitants" to the template, but let me know what you think? —MJCdetroit 18:52, 8 June 2007 (UTC)
I'll change it on the template level :) —MJCdetroit 19:35, 8 June 2007 (UTC)
Done. See Marwayne, Alberta. —MJCdetroit 19:47, 8 June 2007 (UTC)

Hi Qyd, I've got a question about the Alberta Rivers template. I put it on the template discussion for reference reason. Anomity 02:05, 22 June 2007 (UTC)
Hi. I wonder if you could look again at your redirect of Mount Temple to a disambig page for Temple (not the same thing/place)? I wrote a stub on Mount Temple (a village in Ireland) and it brings up a Canadian Mountain of the same name with a "for other uses" see Temple. And you appear to have zapped my own redirect, which is a bit naughty. Regards (Sarah777 11:16, 24 June 2007 (UTC))
Hey. Just wanted to let you know that the work you've been doing with the Calgary-related articles and neighbourhood content is fantastic and much needed. Awesome. --Arch26 07:10, 27 June 2007 (UTC)

I removed the Other uses tag for Mahogany, Calgary since the article name is so specific it by its very nature serves as the disambiguation. No one is likely to type in "Mahogany, Calgary" if they're looking for another meaning. (It did remind me to put a link on the Mahogany disambiguation page, though, so thanks for that.) 23skidoo 22:44, 5 July 2007 (UTC)
I've put back the Canadian Airports template (or rather my sockpuppet did it) as all the airports in Canada use the same one. Cheers. CambridgeBayWeather (Talk) 04:10, 6 July 2007 (UTC)
Good job with the deprecating the last of {{Infobox Town Canada}}. Sorry I was going so slow, but I usually edit between things at work. With that and a small template called {{Tab muni ca}} that was used in Quebec being replaced, all settlements in Canada should be using the same infobox. Please see WP:TfD as I have placed these and some other single use city infoboxes up for deletion. Thanks, MJCdetroit 04:22, 7 July 2007 (UTC)
Thanks Qyd. I don't know who removed the map in the first place. I didn't notice until today. Thanks for putting it back. jdobbin 16:31, 7 July 2007 (UTC)
Hi, I see that you reverted a change to the coor setting at Esquimalt, British Columbia. When I look at your setting on google, it places it somewhere near the Bay St Bridge on the innner habour, the one that you reverted looks to me like it places the location right on the docks at CFB Esquimalt. I am wondering why it was reverted? Perhaps Google isn't giving the right location? --KenWalker | Talk 19:29, 11 July 2007 (UTC)
Hi Qyd,
Thanks for the welcome (in my "My Talk" section). Also, thanks for merging the citations on the Patterson page, wasn't quite sure how to do that.

Hello, I really like the maps you have made for the Canadian parks systems. Would you be able to make one for New Brunswick alone? Thanks Matthew
ok
Hi Qyd. Is it written anywhere, as a standard where to place {{Commons}} in an article. I ask this, since you've moved one's I placed a few times. So, if there's a standard I'm unaware of, let me know. --Rob 03:04, 4 August 2007 (UTC)
Hi Qyd,
Thanks for the welcome!
You are clearly a veteran member of Wikipedia so I would appreciate some feedback on the recent editing of the Ramsay, Calgary page.
As the edit history shows, User 209.107.122.237 seems intent on including excepts from a press release dealing with a recent homicide in the area. It is my opinion that the event, while tragic and troubling, provides little relevence and/or context to the page. User 209.107.122.237 has repeatedly gone in and added the text to various parts of the page. That information has been subsequently deleted by both you and myself. User 209.107.122.237 finally settled on creating a "Crime" section for Ramsay, including crime stats for the last half of 2006 AND reposting excerpts from the homicide press release. I don't really have an issue with the crime stats, although one could ask how relevant 6 mos. worth of crime statistics are on a overview of a neighbourhood that is over 100 years old. My issue is with the inclusion of the press release. It falls under current events. Furthermore, the wording smacks of sensationalism that will read with less and less relevence as time goes on. That said, my take on relevence and context,may not be the same at everyone else. I would be interested in your take on this.
Cheers!

Hello. Why did you change the info I added. The York is going to be droped by HAZCO.
If you go to the site and have a look... —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 207.54.116.18 (talk) 16:57, August 22, 2007 (UTC)
Sir you assume you are correct.
The brick and the detailed facade is being removed, numbered and graphed to show the original location. The brick will be put back on the new building in the same manner and original location. This will keep the heritage of it all. The rest of the building will be dropped and land filled. The demolition contractor HAZCO is going to put an excavator on the roof as early as this weekend to demolish the building from the roof down.
I will let you have you power to change the facts from fact to what you belive is true. You will see the truth in two weeks.
Good day. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 207.54.116.18 (talk) 17:40, August 22, 2007 (UTC)

To Whom it May Concern
There has been recent ranking of hospitals in Canada, based on patient experience. The results are available somewhere online. The Foothills Medical Centre was ranked as one of the lowest in the country and as a result the worst in Calgary and the Peter Lougheed Centre the second worst. I believe people have a right too know this. If you need proof such as an external link to allow such edits on Wikipedia to remain on the page please respond in that regard. Also, is there a way that I can, with proof, edit a page explaining that Canadian Immigration Law says that the Sikh surnames Singh and Kaur do not qualify for the purposes of immigration? I'd like to also point out that the CIC has said that the Sikh names Singh and Kaur do qualify for the application process but forgot to mention that some during the process they are told that their names do not qualify for the purpose of immigration to Canada, unless they make a name change. There are or should be news reports in this regard and a press release from CIC calling the letters "erroneous"
Sincerely
68.145.47.201 (talk · contribs)
In regards to the Singh and Kaur controversy: I've provided information about the issue from independant news sources aswell as the government body that is in charge of immigration.

Please note that {{location dms|8|||S|140|42||W}} will not work, especially since longitude and latitude should have the same degree of precision (i.e. both only degrees, or both degrees and minutes). You can fill in the gaps with zeros so the templates works, such as {{Location|8|0|0|S|140|42|0|W}}. Cheers. --Qyd 17:48, 25 August 2007 (UTC)

Qyd, most if not all infoboxes for lakes don't use flag icons describe location and basin countries. Please avoid changing them to icons as on Lac La Nonne.
Further, as both {{coor at dms}} and {{coord}} are acceptable coordinate templates, it's preferable to leave in the low overhead {{coor at dms}}.
Obviously, I'm always glad when "my" stubs get expanded. -- User:Docu
Well a list of images missing should certainly look for "image_lake" lather than "location" in {{Infobox lake}}; then again, as far as I can tell WikiProject Lakes/Galleries/Image missing a human written list, not a bot generated one. Yes, {{coord}} is rather complex, as it aims at replacing the sprawling coor family of templates; the geo microformat is a tiny piece of code compared to the handling of different formats (deg, deg-min, deg-min-sec, lat/long vs +/-, inline/title display, etc), and what geo microformats do is basically put the article on the map, not only in wikimedia websites, but for a host of other services that parse the information and link to articles from their own webpage or software (Google Earth for example), so I'm thinking it's well worth it. And, let's face it, the lake pages we're talking about are really lightwieght, there's no issue about loading times or such. Yes, the geo hack page generates a geo tag, but remember that is a temporary rendered page, and also it doesn't associate a name with the coordinates (which is what happens when placing coord inside an infobox). Cheers. --Qyd 18:04, 1 September 2007 (UTC)
I was curious, what does adding "name=" do and should it be added to community pages? Thanks. CambridgeBayWeather (Talk) 20:51, 3 September 2007 (UTC)
Hi. On the Kamloops move debate, you said that reversing the redirect so thatKamloops, British Columbia redirects to Kamloops would make categorization, offline editing and bot operations more difficult. Can you explain more about this? I'd rather make things easier for user than for editors/bots but would like to know more about what you are describing. Canuckle 00:30, 7 September 2007 (UTC)
So, you reverted my corrective edit, but you failed to even suggest which city in the Orient has more French speakers than Montreal. Could you inform me, please? --The Iraq 13:43, 13 September 2007 (UTC)
Hi Qyd. I'm clearly confused as to the criteria for inclusion in WPA. Could you clarify for me, to make sure I add the banner to the correct talk pages in the future? Sarcasticidealist 17:28, 15 September 2007 (UTC)

Please help revert tireless Cuban articles spammer – Special:Contributions/90.45.70.126 . Thank you. - Darwinek 14:50, 2 October 2007 (UTC)
There is a (minor) typo in the Calgary Street map you produced (which is otherwise great). At the extreme south is Alberta Highway 22X, part of which is named Marquis of Lorne Trail. Often times people (including many Calgarians) will incorrectly think the name is of French origin (this is Canada) and write Marquis de Lorne Trail. However, that is wrong. The Marquis of Lorne was the first Governor General of Canada and was a Brit. Furthermore, it is no longer named Marquis of Lorne to the east of MacLeod Trail (there is is Spruce Meadows Trail), so the tag should be moved over to the east. - Mtruch 18:11, 7 October 2007 (UTC)
Hi, my name is Joel Kom and I'm a reporter with the Calgary Herald.

There have been a series of proposals to initiate a Featured List of the Day on the main page. Numerous proposals have been put forth. After the third one failed, I audited all WP:FL's in order to begin an experiment in my own user space that will hopefully get it going. Today, it commences at WP:LOTD. Afterwards I created my experimental page, a new proposal was set forth to do a featured list that is strikingly similar to my own which is to do a user page experimental featured list, but no format has been confirmed and mechanism set in place. I continue to be willing to do the experiment myself and with this posting it commences. Please submit any list that you would like to have considered for list of the day in the month of January 2008 by the end of this month to WP:LOTD and its subpages. You may submit multiple lists for consideration.--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:LOTD) 21:53, 16 November 2007 (UTC)
