Hi there! Welcome to Wikipedia! Thanks for your contributions. I hope you like it here and stick around. If you want, you can drop us a note at Wikipedia:New user log to introduce yourself.
A few general tips before you start doing a lot of editing:
If you ever have any questions, comments, or just want to say hi, don't hesitate to write to me on my talk page and I'll get back to you as soon as I can.
Happy editing and have a great day! :-) Akamad 09:57, 24 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Hi there! I'd like to invite you to explore Wikimedia Canada, and create a list of people interested in forming a local chapter for our nation. A local chapter will help promote and improve the organization, within our great nation. We'd also like to encourage everyone to suggest projects for our national chapter to participate in. Hope to see you there!--DarkEvil 17:11, 20 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Hello. I am Arnold (aka Buchanan-Hermit) and I am writing to invite you to join the newly-formed WikiProject Vancouver. It was created really recently and it's in need of new members and those who are willing to spread the word.
I'd love to see you there. :) Thanks for your time. --Buchanan-Hermit™..CONTRIBS..SPEAK!. 03:16, 25 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Ok, thanks a lot for your advice in North Vancouver, in the Portuguese Wikipedia. I moved "North Vancouver" to "Cidade de North Vancouver" (City of North Vancouver), created an article about the district municipality, and left "North Vancouver" to comment in the similarities and differences between the municipalities, like here.

Thanks...although that was very confusing to read at first! Hehe. I wasn't sure what Ardenn was mad at me for though. I sure as hell didn't gang up on him for his "Oppose" vote (or even said anything about it, for that matter). But hey, I'm used to people hating me for no reason (even strangers on Burrard Street), so it's not too bad. :) -→Buchanan-Hermit™/!? 06:20, 24 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I didn't think having the article at Deep Cove would confuse people into thinking that it was a separate entity from DNV, especially seeing that a number of articles on neighbourhoods within the City of Vancouver (eg. Yaletown, Kerrisdale) don't have the "Vancouver" disambiguation in their titles. (Admittedly the ones within Vancouver are better known around the Lower Mainland than ones on the North Shore.) I don't really mind either way, but I just think it'd be nice to have some consistency in naming. - Hinto 00:39, 29 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I agree completely with the "immediate neighbours" thing. I, too, think the Vancouver one is way too crowded. Bodies of water might be important though, for cities next to, say, the Georgia Strait. It might make sense for places like West Vancouver or Richmond, both of which is heavily influenced by water bodies. Personally, I like the layout of the University Endowment Lands and Richmond, British Columbia municipality boxes. While all boxes are filled, it doesn't look too cluttered (which is a change from the Vancouver one). As for the "hop from one to another" part, I also support that idea but it might run into trouble when a city has many neighbours on one side (i.e. Burnaby's eastern neighbours are Port Moody, Coquitlam and New Westminster).
But in short, I like the style on the University Endowment Lands and Richmond articles, personally. Bodies of water shouldn't be a big deal if it influences the city significantly, I think. I'm not sure if you already did, but maybe you can post something on the WikiProject Vancouver talkpage about this too, to get more input. -→Buchanan-Hermit™/!? 09:16, 31 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I your recent edit, you deleted a link to North Vancouver, British Columbia -- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_Vancouver.

Eventhough the address is optional in the template, I believe in including the information when availible. I don't see how keeping the address off wikiepdia enhances safety as this is extremely public information already. There was a significant discussion about how to locate schools in the larger districts, whether we would refer to them by neighbourhood or something more local. So, The inclusion of the address is useful for other wiki editors. Wakemp 15:33, 2 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Interesting format for the North Shore. So it's just adding highways that connect to the surrounding municipalities, huh... That might work.
Also, for the DNV to the northeast of Vancouver: I had to think twice about it too, but after looking at the map, I realized that only a small strip of the DNV is actually across from Vancouver, and most of it lies to its northeast instead; if you go across the Burrard Inlet from Vancouver, chances are that you'll hit CNV rather than DNV. That was my reasoning for that. -→Buchanan-Hermit™/?! 19:28, 8 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hi; see you've been editing my expansion of the New West page; I've just been fussing with the Salmonbellies article, which I didn't know they had when I added them to the New West page, so just used their own weblink in the article. Now that I know there's a New Westminster Salmonbellies article, what should I/we do with the team's external link? An external link in the sports section, or in the main External Links?Skookum1 22:32, 17 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Hi,
Thanks for the note but I got burned on this once before and that is why I am changing them to 'external link'. I was told that according to the Wikipedia rules that is the way it should be and not 'external links'. I see your point and I think this is just nitpicking but on the other hand I tend to agree with the 'people in charge' that it is better if you write 'External link' if there is only One listed there. PLEASE! do not go back and change the edits I have made. If at some point some one adds another link then it can be changed to 'External links', for now I think it should just be left as is. Thanks.HeMan5 22:18, 22 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I'm starting to think that one of the things the Vancouver Wikipedians might do, if we ever get around to meeting, is draft a press release to the effect that such sites are constantly "vandalizing" the Vancouver wikipage with their advertising links. I'm sure I removed this same link just the other day; so at the very least maybe we should all do a joint email to their marketing people; and/or if it persists we find a friendly reporter and blow a lid off such sites; which are not really good public resources, so much as hit-generators for ad revenues. "Gee, us? But we're just providing a public service" - like 100 other similar sites for the city, none of them any appreciably better than tourismvancouver's or any of the other non-profit pages. That they PRETEND on first viewing to be public in nature, when they're really private, is what makes them all the more irritating. But exploitation is the name of web marketing; thing is with these guys is all they need is the "hit" to generate the revenue; people don't actually have to read the sites; which replicate stuff they've stolen from other sites anyway....Skookum1 17:55, 23 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
The edit that you reverted in particular is typical. The "citation" that they referenced does not mention the supposed "controversy" at all. The article discusses Wikipedia and editwars, not the controversy which ED wrote about. Secondly, the controversy itself is nonexistent. The opposing candidate (Elliott Frankl) has already contacted Vaughan Council, and he received a response which told him, in not so many words, that Councillor Shefman was doing nothing wrong, and that the contest was perfectly in line with his rights as City Councillor. I would respectfully request that you remove that content from the page, as it is irrellevant, unverifiable, and blatantly untrue. Thanks. - pm_shef 01:02, 24 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

You wrote on my talkpage:
"I might ask you what your reason is for persisting in this, frankly, rather pathetic edit war."
I find it amusing that somebody with thousands of edits and lists his 'wikiinterests' on his talkpage, can refer to anything that I do on wikipedia as pathetic. You urked me with that statement, because I honestly feel tired of being pushed around by another user with a strong political agenda here on wikipedia (which he openly admits in the local newspaper).

Regarding your edit at Vancouver and the edit summary, "were there beehive burners in the city in the last few decades?", I vaguely recall that there may have been beehive burners on False Creek on what came to be the Expo lands. However, if there were any, they were gone by 1978, according to these pictures. Agent 86 03:18, 30 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Heyo. Thanks for coming to my rescue in the Solar system article. I don't think this guy's about to give up though. I do not intend to give an inch; he's attempting to undo what I've spent over a year attempting to construct. When I first encountered the solar system article, it was just a random list of objects by class, with no notion of where they were or how they functioned in the system. I did a massive 3-day edit to reorder the objects according to region, and that is how this article must stay. I'm scared I might get banned if I revert too many of his reversions. I don't really know where to go with this. Serendipodous 10:37, 4 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Hi. Can you tell me why it's necessary for the article on the Greek goddess to be disambiguated, when 136199 Eris has only been designated as such for under 24 hours? Ryūlóng 06:48, 14 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Hello Ckatz, I know that Eris is not considered an asteroid now, but when it was discovered the astronomers did not have the benefit of our 20-20 hindsight and added it to the list of asteroids. It was number 136199 on the list and that tag will remain with it for the rest of its life - and beyond. Cheers, Paul venter 10:30, 14 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hello-
Thanks for moving my comments to the new sub-topic.
I will be shortly creating a FAQ for the topic of "North Shore Mountain Biking" or something of that sort.
Please note that the "North Shore" style of biking has now become genericized to mean biking on human-built elevated structures. Historically, such structures were built as a way to navigate environmentally sensitive parts of trails located in North Vancouver and West Vancouver. The FAQ will seek to address some or part of these topics.
The FAQ will be linked to the website of the NSMBA - a local advocacy organization. Our organization's volunteers have chosen to use wikipedia as the repository of this FAQ as it seems to be the easiest way to create and manage this FAQ.

Ceres is still considered an asteroid by the IAU, as well as being a dwarf planet. You may consult the Minor Planet Center's database for confirmation of this. I think you have misinterpreted the statements on the IAU website. They do not say that Ceres is no longer considered an asteroid.Michaelbusch 05:40, 22 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
"Q: What is Ceres? A: Ceres is (or now we can say it was) the largest asteroid, about 1000 km across, orbiting in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter. Ceres now qualifies as a dwarf planet because it is now known to be large enough (massive enough) to have self-gravity pulling itself into a nearly round shape."
"Q: Didn’t Ceres used to be called an asteroid or minor planet? A: Historically, Ceres was called a “planet” when it was first discovered (in 1801) orbiting in what is known as the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter. Because 19 th century astronomers could not resolve the size and shape of Ceres, and because numerous other bodies were discovered in the same region, Ceres lost its planetary status. For more than a century, Ceres has been referred to as an asteroid or minor planet."
I redirected because of the vote at the top of this page: Talk:Ceres (mythology)... Though, in retrospect, I possibly should have paid more attention to the date.

Ckatz, having those cities listed in one contiguous line I find really hard to read. Lists more than two or three items should be segregated into bullet points for clarity, hence my reason for doing so.

For the record, Larson was working on a Battlestar Pegasus movie for about 8-9 months when it became apparent that Universal wasn't going to go anywhere with the Galactica franchise. It turned out that Larson did have the rights through some contractual snafu on Universal's part to do anything with Commander Cain and the Pegasus, and his planned film involved the search for an ancient battlestar called the Atlantis, which was built by the 13th Tribe and deliberately left in a secret location with the maps to Earth. The film would have dealt with the search, a major battle with the Cylons, and the recovery and use of the maps to reach Earth, all w/o involving the Galactica or the RTF other than being mentioned.
The first article Google shows is this one: [1]. And the Wikipedia set up for BSG had this one: [[2]], although I'm not sure about whether there's some Wikirule about referencing other mini-Wikis. The John Larocque article on the attempt is at: [[3]]. Hollywood North Report has a short blurb about the Larson effort, but seeing as how their site has a *LOT* of popups from spammers attempting to load trojans and spyware, I'll quote it here to save your systems:"In the spring of 1999, it was announced that Glen Larson was making plans to bring Galactica to the silver screen. Impressed with the visual effects and style of the independently financed film Wing Commander, Larson paired with its producer, Todd Moyer, on an estimated $40-50 million film that was to shoot later that year in Luxembourg.
The story picked up where the series left off, but followed the exploits of Commander Cain and the battlestar Pegasus (made famous in the original series episode, "The Living Legend," guest starring the late Lloyd Bridges). In the concept, Commander Cain's search for the lost battlestar Galactica leads him to contemporary Earth, which, according to the story, was settled by humans who arrived here during prehistoric times on the very first battlestar, Atlantis.
Special effects were to be handled by Moyer's company, No Prisoners 3DFX, utilizing several of the artists who worked on Wing Commander. Moyer planned to update some of Galactica's ships, including giving the Vipers the ability to morph into mechanized walkers-à la The Transformers-when on planet surfaces. Moreover, he and Larson planned to expand the Galactica franchise to include an Imax film, a theme ride, and a new line of merchandise.
Then, as quickly as it had been announced, the project vanished from the radar screen. It has been suggested that Larson and Moyer ultimately found themselves at odds over significant creative issues. It has also been suggested that the film rights to Battlestar Galactica were still in some dispute. In either case, the project disappeared into the ethers."
IIRC, Cylon.org had a page on this at one time, but since they revised their site this one and its copies of the concept drawings they had have disappeared. Sixty Six 06:18, 20 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Ckatz -- sorry if I sounded pissy -- it's kind of frustrating to see one's reverts reverted, but I do know that accidents happen when two editors are working on an article at more or less the same time! As for the categorization, the distinction, as the text of the Airport Rail Link article states, is between mainline trains (commuter or intercity rail) and local public transit (which could include either heavy rail subway/metro/rapid transit or light rail). MARTA definitely falls into the latter category. --Jfruh (talk) 05:10, 28 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there. I saw you leaving some intelligent commentary at Talk:White_Canadian. I thought what you had to say made sense and was useful. I've listed the article as a candidate for deletion. This may be inappropriate (To be honest, it's the first time I've done that about an article), and I thought I might invite comments from people who have posted on the page's talk page. I have been around Wikipedia for a little while, but I haven't gotten as deeply involved as some have. I'm certainly happy to be wrong, but most importantly I'd like to have some other people at least think about whether I am or not, rather than have a couple of people (the one or two users most interested in the article - I must include myself there, now, I suppose) dictate it's future, because it obviously has the potential to be an inflammatory discussion.

Hi Ckatz,
I had changed the line where it says that Claire "saved a fireman" from the burning train wreck. This statement was false. If you actually watch the pilot, you can see the man has absolutely NO fireman's outfit on. He has dirty, tattered clothing, and he was obviously IN the train when it crashed, therefore it was a drifter.
If you would like, I could even send you several screencaps showing that it's not a fireman.
I am aware that in the newscast about the train derailment that Isaac Mendez watches, the reporter says "a young girl saved the young lieutenant from the burning train" but this is simply an error in writing.
The man she saved from the train was neither young nor a firefighter. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 68.180.44.180 (talk) 18:04, 29 December 2006 (UTC).[reply]

Thanks for pointing me to the discussion on Template talk:User 3 500e. I had not seen it and was unaware of the standard format. Happy editing! AuburnPilottalk 15:28, 2 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
no. - if they are minor or main is your POV, most shows have title screens showing the main characters, Jericho does not, in this case characters are just characters (giving them any sort of status would require a citation then), and I'm pretty sure they've also been in the credits. thanks/Fenton, Matthew Lexic Dark 52278 Alpha 771 10:53, 4 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Made a stab at a userbox; check 'er out: Template:User WikiProject British Columbia (use {{User WikiProject British Columbia}} ). Fudged around with the colours and borders for a while, tried to use colours taken from the dogwood but wound up blue-adjusting the background, not quite happy with the bkgnd colour but it's better than the grey-transparent on the Vancouver userbox. Trying to think which stubs are needed; I think one for mountain and moutain range stubs (there'll be hundreds of these...), though the dogwood won't do for that; could use it for parks stubs, though, no? There's already a protected area stub that has a thing from the US Southwest on it; might as well replace it with the dogwood (d'ya like the dogwood? It's from Wikimedia Commons...I thumbed it down though). Trying to remember which other stubs are needed....bio-stub I guess for biographies, I'm thinking one for communities/settlements, have to think what else.

Hi there! Thats true you know, a stateless person has indeed filed claim to that unclaimed hunk of antarctica. Anyways you seem like a nice editor...and no surprise as vancouver is great...and i have mixed feelings about wikipedia. its really wonderful of course...so much excellent info...yet as i scan the last few of ur edits, (and trying to remove the grand theft auto stuff from the video game nut or salesperson whichever it was), i see that many times people like you are getting ur time wasted...(yet its better than if u were playing grand theft auto all day)...its such a strange concept that whoever wants can put up what info they want and then it gets subject to constant editing...its so strange that an encyclopedia needs patrolling editors...and that most pages are constantly changing and going back and forth between different peoples versions and takes on things...its an information warfare site to a certain extent...it really makes u think about the nature of information...yet at least its not so bad on many types of pages such as some hard science pages...yet even here things are in dispute and subject to various prejudices...anyways thats great u keep adding astonomy stuff...keep up the good work!...and i guess its best if u keep rolling thru new things so whenever u are editing stuff out u are reading new things so its not such a waste of ur time...there are some great and interesting new things this type of format gives us...yet some peculiar problems it creates as well...so merci viel mal as we would say in switzerland! thank you! when i have time ill look up all the monty python named asteroids...ive been getting into more astrobiology these days and terraforming and colonizing Venus and the like...anything u put up regarding this subject gets cheers from me! u might end up an important "proto-space colonist"...bon jour!...benji --Benjiwolf 22:29, 13 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

(I’m co-posting this into Talk:Moon. Let’s continue there – I’m only putting it here so you’ll be sure to see it.)
The problem is every other planet with a moon system has a unique page for the whole system - Mars' natural satellites, Jupiter's natural satellites, etc. The Solar Satellites and SolarSystem footers at the bottom of every Solar System planet or moon article link directly to those pages (see below). Twice in the last 6 months I've searched for additional satellites of Earth via the link to the Terrestrial satellite system on those footers and instead been directed to the page for the Moon itself - obviously not the information I was looking for (I forgot the second time that I’d already looked). If I've done it twice there have got to be other people doing the same thing. Yes, the information is there, but it's one sentence buried in a subsection that no one would ever think to look in (what do other moons of Earth have to do with Luna's orbit and relationship to Earth?). If the Terrestrial satellite system is not to have its own page independent of that of the Moon - which I feel it should, as does every other planet in the system with a moon - then additional information about other natural satellites (even if none of them are actually "real") needs to be somewhere easy for people to find!

Special:Contributions/Wikiwisher suggests that user (the one who added the template to claim that Marmite reads like an advertisement) is a relatively new registrant, and, occasionally takes "be bold" to mean "boldly excise". Of course, this could be a new alter-ego of a more experienced user, and the tone of their edit comments does suggest that. I do myself suffer from lack of boldness, but think quietly removing the template might be appropriate. I put this discussion here to hopefully keep it somewhat private.--SportWagon 18:19, 17 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Indeed, but not private enough, evidently! ;-)
The Marmite article still reads like an advert, though!
