Heath Steele, New Brunswick

Hi! I noticed you moved Heath Steele, NB to Heath Steele Mines, NB. I've been trying to standardize the names of geographic locations across the Maritimes based on their "official" names as provided by the Geographic Names Board of Canada....

This is the entry for Heath Steele:

http://geonames2.nrcan.gc.ca/cgi-bin/v9/sima_unique_v9?english?DAJXN?C

As you can see, it is an unincorporated area in Northumberland County, similar to most rural communities and was administered by the local service district for areas north of Newcastle, Beaver Brook, etc. Granted nobody lives at Heath Steele (I've driven through on that road several times), but it doesn't have the term "mine" or "mines" in the geographic name.

The actual subsidiary company owned by Noranda was called "Heath Steele Mines Ltd." (sometimes referred to as the "Heath Steele Division") and the mine itself is referred to by government and industry sources as the "Heath Steele Mine" but the geographic location for the mine and railway was simply "Heath Steele, New Brunswick".

Frances Fish

Hi - Great to see an article about Frances Fish. Nice to see a biography is in the works - we need to celebrate our heroes. This would have been a good article for Did You Know, the hook being that she was the first woman admitted to the Nova Scotia Bar. Unfortunately, we missed the date for contributions by exactly one day! Please review my edit - I have a question about one of your facts. I think there is just a word missing. cheers!.

Eutrophication GA Sweeps: On Hold

I have reviewed Eutrophication for GA Sweeps to determine if it still qualifies as a Good Article. In reviewing the article I have found several issues, which I have detailed here. Since you are a main contributor of the article (determined based on this tool), I figured you would be interested in contributing to further improve the article. Please comment there to help the article maintain its GA status. If you have any questions, let me know on my talk page and I'll get back to you as soon as I can. --Happy editing!

Hello Lesfreck! Thank you for your contributions. I am a bot alerting you that 1 of the articles that you created is tagged as an Unreferenced Biography of a Living Person. The biographies of living persons policy requires that all personal or potentially controversial information be sourced. In addition, to insure verifiability, all biographies should be based on reliable sources. if you were to bring this article up to standards, it would greatly help us with the current 945 article backlog. Once the article is adequately referenced, please remove the {{unreferencedBLP}} tag. Here is the article:

File permission problem with File:1974 Stotharts Mercantile.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:1974 Stotharts Mercantile.jpg. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file agreed to license it under the given license.

If you created this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either

• make a note permitting reuse under the CC-BY-SA or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or
• Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en@wikimedia.org, stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here. If you take this step, add {{OTRS pending}} to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.

If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-en@wikimedia.org.

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:File copyright tags#Fair use, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See Wikipedia:File copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log. Files lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. You may wish to read the Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Dianna (talk) 18:40, 12 November 2012 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Jackie Vautour

The article Jackie Vautour has been proposed for deletion because it appears to have no references. Under Wikipedia policy, this newly created biography of a living person will be deleted unless it has at least one reference to a reliable source that directly supports material in the article. The nominator also raised the following concern:

All biographies of living people created after March 18, 2010, must have references.

If you created the article, please don't be offended. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Referencing for beginners, or ask at the help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the {{prod blp}} tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within ten days, the article may be deleted, but you can request that it be undeleted when you are ready to add one. Tassedethe (talk) 00:55, 4 June 2013 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Jackie Vautour, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Mi'kmaq (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver).
