Hi[edit]

My mistke, but don't you think that it should be removed from those categories and put into the "Notable people" heading so readers can find it much, much easier? How would you know to go to the Culture section to find notable people? I believe it should have its own category. Thanks. Vaselineeeeeeee (talk) 21:32, 29 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I noticed you recently made some changes to the Dalton McGuinty biography page, including the deletion both of the infobox notation as to religion and its removal from the Category of Canadian Roman Catholics, despite it being noted in the article as a noteworthy fact about McGuinty. I have noted that you also have been doing so for other Canadian political officeholders, whether it is mentioned in the article, sourced or neither of those two. I was wondering if this was pursuant to a policy on Officeholder articles generally. Homagetocatalonia (talk) 19:38, 6 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, thanks for your reply. I cannot say that I agree with your perspective as to what should go into a wikipedia page, but I don't think I need to question that perspective to make a case for leaving the mentioned category/infobox link in on the Dalton McGuinty page. It notes as a notable fact that he is the first Roman Catholic premier since John S. MacDonald to hold the premiership. In the context of Ontario politics and the historic (and arguably current) importance of religion on politics in that province, it seems like that fact is worthy of note. If his religion is worthy of note in the body of the article in relation to his politics, then I would think it should be included in the infobox even if the infobox content should be restricted only to information relevant to his political career. Alternatively, the sentence noting his religion in the article as a notable political fact should be removed. If however you think that the reference to his religion in the article can be left in while also barring mention of his religion in the infobox, I'd appreciate hearing your views on that.

Terence Young (politician)[edit]

You previously made major updates to the Provincial politics and Federal politics sections at the article Terence Young (politician). Many thanks. I have just completed a major revision to the Drug advocacy section. Given we are in an election and this is a sitting MP, I would appreciate any further suggestions for improvement. Nevertheless, I think the {{Multiple Issues}} template can now be removed. Comment at the talk page. --papageno (talk) 03:33, 11 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Jim Foulds[edit]

Listen, buddy. It was Jim Foulds who was the poker player. If you are one of the many who believe it was Nic Tubb, that is fine but I know the truth. It was Jim, trust me. Don't come on here accusing me of vandalism. Where is your proof?

Haste makes waste[edit]

Thanks for your communication explaining why you reversed my correction in the article on Mark Adler. Of course, you were mistaken to correct my edit. Mark Adler did hold that political job, you are right. However, it was listed in the "before politics" section of the article and therefore not accurate. I did explain the purpose of my edit, perhaps you should check the context before making a correction and accusing another editor of not reading references. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Yosl00 (talkcontribs) 04:26, 4 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Infobox "term dates"[edit]

Hi there, I have a quick question about the "term dates" in Canadian political articles that I was hoping you could help me with. In the past, I have seen numerous editors removing the election wikilinks and replacing them with actual dates. Edit summaries usually read something like cleanup, or use actual dates not election links, etc. I know I have removed quite a few myself as I thought this was correct because it was other experienced editors doing this. I was wondering if that's been changed, because there are IP editors adding them back to many articles, with edits like this[1], [2], and [3]. According to edit histories its been going on for several weeks without anyone questioning the edits, so if the IP is wrong, they have a pretty good head start. Any ideas about this? Thanks.

You are not being very helpful here. Jane Philpott is not Charles Darwin. Darwin's article does not, in fact, list everything he wrote; it lists his notable books, and there is a huge difference, as anyone should know, between publishing books that change the course of science and history and publishing a few articles. Philpott, no matter what her other merits, is not notable as a physician or a scholar (WP:PROF). And there's more to that article: a list of non-notable awards: awards given out by university departments are never of encyclopedic value, and university awards aren't either, unless they're special named awards that have an article, for instance, or are otherwise proven to be of value--proven by way of secondary sourcing. likewise, "Coin for Every Country" does not appear to be notable and that very fluffy section lacks proper secondary sourcing; "co-curator of TEDxStouffville" is promotional and is sourced only via a link to TED itself (TED being plugged shamelessly all over Wikipedia). One wonders, by now, whether you are editing this article in a neutral manner, and I may take this to the article talk page. Drmies (talk) 17:54, 12 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Persondata[edit]

I don't know the reason why you decided not to answer on my talkpage (perhaps the ping didn't worked), so we will talk here: First, forgive me for removing Persondata. Second, I would like to point that users such as @Ser Amantio di Nicolao: and @Dan Koehl: said that it's OK to remove it, because it was depreciated. Third, I checked the info in Wikidata regarding Persondata and I see no difference in removing it manually or wait until the bot do it. Such an example will be this. After verifying with Persondata in this article and its identical info in Wikidata, I came to understanding that removing it will be fine. But, either way, I will wait for a coherent response from the rest of the party...--184.97.253.159 (talk) 16:56, 7 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Interesting. You have the Canada Gazette for reference, if you can not read Romanian you should have the courtesy to consult a Romanian editor of Wikipedia. By the way it was a reference to a Hungarian award and the reference in Hungarian was good.

Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay.

Working on it, thanks. From what I understand - the using his website for the "Background" page should be fine based off of this -

Self-published and questionable sources may be used as sources of information about themselves, usually in articles about themselves or their activities, without the self-published source requirement that they be published experts in the field, so long as:

the material is neither unduly self-serving nor an exceptional claim; it does not involve claims about third parties; it does not involve claims about events not directly related to the source; there is no reasonable doubt as to its authenticity; the article is not based primarily on such sources.

Disambiguation link notification for April 17[edit]

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Al McDonald, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page North Bay. 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.

Smalltown mayors[edit]

Thanks for catching Frederick S. Goring, as you did in the AFD discussion for Gary Burroughs. He's now been listed for deletion at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Frederick S. Goring — I've seen the article before, obviously, but not with contemporary notability standards for smalltown mayors in mind. Bearcat (talk) 23:51, 5 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
