Disambiguation link notification for February 13[edit]

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Richard Patten, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Unitarian (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Individual votes are not noteworthy?[edit]

Not sure if this is the correct place to bring this up, but I'm not sure why you erased my contribution to the David Shiner (politician) entry. [1] You mention that individual votes are not notable, but where does this come from? Is that a Wikipedia policy? Who gets to decide what votes are noteworthy? The entry discusses other votes for example. Young River (talk) 07:57, 22 February 2013 (UTC)Young River[reply]

Reversion of sentence in George Smitherman[edit]

In the article George Smitherman you reverted the phrase "his husband" to "his spouse". In English we generally say "husband" or "wife". Saying "his spouse" implies a homophobic rejection of the idea of a male having a husband. For this reason I disagree with your reversion and believe the sentence should read "his husband". — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.196.180.76 (talk) 04:40, 26 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Minor edits[edit]

Information icon Thank you for your contributions. Please remember to mark your edits as "minor" only if they truly are minor edits. In accordance with Help:Minor edit, a minor edit is one that the editor believes requires no review and could never be the subject of a dispute. Minor edits consist of things such as typographical corrections, formatting changes or rearrangement of text without modification of content. Additionally, the reversion of clear-cut vandalism and test edits may be labeled "minor". Thank you. --John (talk) 18:53, 28 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Kuldip Singh Kular[edit]

Hi, I removed the paragraph about the alleged incident where he was involved in. The was acquitted of all charges and is therefore innocent, I referred to WP:BLPCRIME. Gsingh (talk) 23:29, 17 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

  • I disagree, I'll explain below for your specific points:
    • Nowhere in WP:BLPCRIME does it say that the policy is reserved for cases still underway.
    • Yes he resigned as a PA, but he was reappointed right after he was acquitted. Which shows it had no effect on his political career whatsoever.
    • Yes the court rendered a verdict, but how is an acquittal report-worthy? He like any acquitted person is innocent, your argument that it had a significant effect on his career implies that he is still guilty and therefore negatively impacted his career. For this reason I am reverting your edit. If you disagree I suggest that we ask for consensus from other editors.
    • Also please comment in the same place, it makes it much more organized and this way is followed by most editors on WP, as I'm sure you know. Gsingh (talk) 21:44, 18 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Just wanted to notify you I have posted an entry to the BLP noticeboard (wp:blpn#Kuldip Singh Kular). Hope you don't mind. Gsingh (talk) 01:48, 22 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Question regarding a revert[edit]

I'm curious as to why you reverted this edit to Eve Adams as the source appears to confirm the material. Is it outdated or otherwise incorrect? It would be helpful to know as I do have the article on my watchlist. --Jezebel'sPonyobons mots 18:00, 23 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Bob Rae: statements about Judaism[edit]

Hi there, I'm not sure how I'm supposed to address this, but someone keeps reverting my changes to Bob Rae's page. There is information provided about him discovering his Jewish identity and dating "exclusively Jewish girls" that is simply false, and also statements about his faith that are truly irrelevant in this type of biography. Having citations from Peter Newman's book does not make a statement true (arguably it does almost the exact opposite), and I find it very strange that someone insists on putting this "information" about Judaism in this biography of a political figure. I have deleted the statements that are false and/or irrelevant, and I think that they should be kept off this page. They are not confirmed in his personal biography as the editor suggests. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.117.100.54 (talk) 21:18, 6 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Canadian federal by-election, November 25, 2013/Toronto Centre – Candidate's name[edit]

In April, you updated Template:Canadian federal by-election, November 25, 2013/Toronto Centre (∆ here) to change a candidate's names from [[John Turmel|John "The Engineer" Turmel]].

Normally, I would agree with you that the use of this oddball name is rather unencyclopedic; however, in this case, the official name of the candidate, as listed by Elections Canada, is “John "The Engineer" Turmel” — See "November 25, 2013 By-elections".  Given that Elections Canada calls him that, it seems appropriate that the election results on WP should match.

I've changed the candidates name back to …"The Engineer"…; if you disagree, go ahead and undo my reversion of your edit and I'll leave it that way, no offense taken.

Collapsing Election Results templates‽[edit]

Why are you changing all the election results templates to collapsed (like here, here, & here)?  The whole point of moving them to transcludable templates is so that they can be included in multiple articles.  In long articles with multiple election results, Ottawa—Vanier is a short one, the reader will need to click sometimes dozens of "show/hide" links in order to view the information.  I'm not sure that there is an advantage to that?  — Who R you? Talk 05:11, 2 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I added this question and another topic to the main template's talk page.  Perhaps you'd care to provide additional comment on Use of “Election results” tables in politician articles and maybe you also have an opinion on Calculation of Swing.  I'm just seeking a consistent look that everyone agrees on before we invest the effort making any major changes.  Cheers  — Who R you? Talk 18:06, 3 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Dalton McGuinty Sr[edit]

Hi, I just discovered how it worked a few days ago. Ottawa had two boards, the public Ottawa Board of Education and the Catholic Ottawa Separate School Board. However, because separate schools only received financing up to grade 10, most Catholic students entered the public system for Grade 11-OAC, and therefore separate school supporters got to vote for a separate school trustee on the public board (presumably in addition to a vote for their trustee on the Separate Board as well). OBE Trustees representing separate separate school supporters only voted on high school matters in board meetings. This article from 1985 explains it: http://news.google.com/newspapers?id=ITc0AAAAIBAJ&sjid=hvUIAAAAIBAJ&pg=1711,5112927&dq=separate+board+transfer+ottawa&hl=en

Anyways, I've searched the Google Newspaper Archives for the Ottawa Citizen quite a bit, and only came across McGuinty when pouring over old election results. Attempting to search for his name will come up with no results. The best way to find things is to know the date ahead of time. Only sometimes will you get lucky searching for key words. -- Earl Andrew - talk 17:24, 7 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
