Repeated blanking of this talk-page

[edit]

To the editor who keeps blanking this page please stop and explain why you are doing this. Are you really after the improvement of the article? - If so, please explain how blanking this talk-page improves the article. Thank you. Ottawahitech (talk) 10:42, 4 January 2017 (UTC)please ping me[reply]

Please stop re adding the massive list of news references here. They should exist in userspace the article.SuperMarioWikiEditor (talk) 10:11, 25 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
[citation needed] VQuakr (talk) 17:12, 25 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Wikipedia:TALK#USE would be a good start. Pasting numerous news articles like this doesn't facilitate a discussion, nor are they all reliable sources. SuperMarioWikiEditor (talk) 19:49, 25 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
...which would be a great thing to point out here on the talk page. It isn't one of the limited cases listed at WP:TPO that would be grounds for removal. VQuakr (talk) 22:25, 25 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Mario's been indefinitely blocked for abuse of multiple accounts, so I won't hold my breath awaiting a response. Ottawahitech I clicked on one of the links at random in the first section of this page, and it didn't appear to mention the subject of this article. In the context of WP:SYN, which precludes incorporation of this source into the article and WP:TPG, which states that article talk pages exist to discuss changes to the corresponding article, what is the point of having this link?

Any list of potential sources and references is only going to be useful if it (mostly) contains content that could plausibly be used in the article. Given this, wouldn't it make this list more useful to yourself and others if it were edited down to content related to this article? VQuakr (talk) 02:36, 26 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

This article was created by Ottawahitech. Virtually all edits have been made by Ottawahitech. The jumble of links on this talk page was added by Ottawahitech. It is likely only useful to Ottawahitech and he knows how to access the talk page archive. If anyone is actually interested in improving this article, I suggest they start be correcting the name (it has not been a "bill" for months). World's Lamest Critic (talk) 04:17, 26 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Whether Ottawahitech or anyone else knows how to access the archive is irrelevant. Focus on content and not editors, please.
Your last sentence is a separate issue. What's the most recognizable term for the subject of this article? VQuakr (talk) 05:05, 26 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Do you understand how bills are named in British Columbia? World's Lamest Critic (talk) 14:55, 26 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Your response implies you didn't read the policy I linked above, WP:TITLE. The formal title of the act is relevant, but not the sole factor in determining the best article title. VQuakr (talk) 02:18, 27 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Do you understand how bills are named in British Columbia? World's Lamest Critic (talk) 15:37, 27 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Ok, got it, WP:NOTHERE. Ottawa, any thoughts on the article title? VQuakr (talk) 20:47, 27 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
There's no reason to be dismissive. I'm asking you a straightforward question since your comments suggest you do not understand the naming convention for bills in British Columbia or what happens when they are passed. None of this is relevant to the discussion about this talk page, but just for the record, do you understand how bills are named in British Columbia? World's Lamest Critic (talk) 22:24, 27 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
@VQuakr: I don't have a preference for the name, yet. For those who want to change the article's name have a look at what links here, or check the refs to see what the media is calling it. Ottawahitech (talk) 13:30, 28 January 2017 (UTC)please ping me[reply]

Tax Cheat connection

[edit]
NDP MP for Burnaby South Kennedy Stewart:
“This confirms the federal government is leaving local residents to the wolves when it comes to our housing market. It confirms that we have lost control of a significant segment of our housing market to foreign buyers, many of whom appear to be cheating our tax system.
“Worse still, the government has known about this problem for years, failed to take the right actions, and what limited actions they have taken have badly failed. It is scandalous and the government needs to start treating this situation as the emergency it is.”
Vancouver-Point Grey NDP MLA David Eby said the CRA has been asleep at the switch, failing to identify and penalize so-called low income owners of expensive houses that have avoided paying taxes.
