I just had to say that adding the {{{importance}}} and {{{class}}} tags in the "depreciated templates" warnings was brilliant. That will save a lot of time that would have been spent re-assessing articles after the changeover. --Arctic Gnome (talk • contribs) 03:47, 26 November 2007 (UTC)
Shouldn't the word be "deprecated" instead of "depreciated?" I changed Template:WikiProject Quebec, but assume there are others as well. Davewho2 19:43, 2 December 2007 (UTC)
There is an error on the map of Alberta. The lake named Sylvan Lake is in fact Pigeon Lake and Sylvan Lake is not shown. Pigeon Lake does indeed flow into the Battle River, but Sylvan Lake is farther south and feeds into the Red Deer River. Otherwise and great map and thanks. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.149.110.200 (talk) 16:50, 26 November 2007 (UTC)
You seem to have ably foiled my efforts to improve the disambiguation with some of the articles on cities in Alberta.
My edits were in line with WP:DAB and WP:DABMOS, and some were an attempt to fix malplaced disambiguation pages. Not every settlement needs the provincial DAB term to be used after it, especially when there is no other similarly named article on WP. And if there is, then the page without "(disambiguation)" is the proper DAB page, and it should not redirect to the page with the provincial disambiguation. See Talk:Sherwood Park (disambiguation); Talk:Wetaskiwin (disambiguation); Talk:Fort Saskatchewan; Talk:Fort McMurray. Snocrates 23:03, 27 November 2007 (UTC)
We do have a particular convention at Wikipedia:Naming conventions (settlements)#Canada, and had many discussions regarding this subject( see Wikipedia talk:Canadian Wikipedians' notice board#City naming convention poll, Wikipedia:Canadian wikipedians' notice board/discussion/Archive 8#City naming convention poll 2). Regarding dab page titles, I haven't moved any of those back. Cheers. --Qyd (talk) 00:10, 28 November 2007 (UTC)

The pages edited on Calgary Transit have factually inaccurate information. Please stop reverting these changes. I work for Calgary Transit, and my sources are internal documents/discussions that are not available to the general public on the internet. Somerset Bridlewood has been renamed "Somerset" and the location is on Shawville Gate. It is not on MacLeod Trail.

I would add the class and importance ratings to articles but I don't have a clue what there importance is. The reason why I wanted the Arctic Cordillera to be reassessed was because when it was rated it was only a small article. But because the article is much larger now, I wanted a reassess (I'm the one who created the article). Much of my ratings are mountain and volcano articles. Black Tusk 04:10, 4 December 2007 (UTC)

Hi Qyd,
I am a member of the EPCOR CENTRE for Performing Arts' Marketing & Communications team and I had recently made some corrections to our Wikipedia page. I noticed that you had also made some revisions -- thanks for your help with noting necessary citations and cleaning up the 'weasel words' and the page. I have gone in and made the appropriate citations.
I realize you may have been wary about some earlier changes as well. We are actually using 'EPCOR CENTRE' in uppercase for branding purposes. As we are named after our corporate sponsor, we often get confused with that company (we do receive some of their phone calls), so this is an actual marketing effort to distinguish ourselves from them. If you have any problems with the language used on the page, please feel free to get in touch -- we would be happy to answer any questions or talk about them!
Best regards,Sandy L. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Epcorcentre (talk • contribs) 20:38, 12 December 2007 (UTC)
Hi Qyd, I'd like to request that if you change an article's assessment (like at John McLoughlin), you indicate it in the edit summary, and/or explain your reason on the talk page. We've been using those fairly heavily at Wikiproject Oregon, and I think a have a fair amount of consensus behind most of the prominent articles, so I think I'm not alone in wanting to see if things change.

You have incorrectly moved Markham Road to Markham Road (Markham, Ontario). This is the road within the City of Toronto that leads to Markham. The Town of Markham is part of York Region and that section of road is York Regional Road 68. I don't know everything else you may have changed that relates to this, or if undo will fix it, so I will let you repair things. - Secondarywaltz (talk) 19:34, 4 January 2008 (UTC)
While I agree that the consensus appears to be keep, the sfd notice needs to remain until the discussion is closed. Also, while well meaning, {{asbox}} is not particularly well liked by the stub sorting project, as it suffers from feature creep out the wazoo. I've reverted back your change and when the time comes to end the discussion all that needs be done is delete the line with "|-" and the line above it.

Hello, Qyd ...
Please allow me to introduce myself ... for the past six months, I have been working on some four-step Protocols for deletion warnings like Warn-inc ... I'm contacting you today because I have Burnaby North Secondary School (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) on my watchlist, and noticed your recent contribution on the discussion page ... I am not considering the article for possible deletion, but I marked it several months ago to identify Some Other Editor who had both an interest in Wikipedia:Notability (schools) and more knowledge about the subject than myself.
I was wondering if you thought that there might be some utility to adding a Warn-school cloned from Warn-academic (see Warn-templates for what I'm talking about) ... WP:SCL not a A7 speedy delete candidate, but neither is WP:PROF or WP:FICTION ... still, this could be handy for a {{Db-reason}}
, a {{Prod}}
, or an AfD of a non-notable school, just like with "Academics" and "Fiction" ... I could easily add "School" as one of the notability guidelines recognized by the {{Warn-article}}
and {{Warn-editor}}
templates to generate the WP:SCL shortcut.
Please respond on this talk page, since there is no place else to discuss it ... I guess my question boils down to, "If I made it, would you use it?" :-) Happy Editing! —72.75.72.63 (talk · contribs) 18:49, 7 January 2008 (UTC)
Thanks for the referrence. Do you have any other response to the Bozo who doubts notability? Pustelnik (talk) 23:04, 9 January 2008 (UTC)
OK, thanks, I think you're right about the disambiguator needing to be in brackets... and have now updated all the pages I worked on this morning which link to it, to avoid double redirects etc. The article as I found it needed quite a bit of Wikification, as well as a new name! I think the history piece is worth being more than just one ref, as it's a mine of info for anyone interested in the history of the building, so will replace it as Further reading.

Please don't move pages (or even templates) by cutting and pasting the current version of the code. If you were unable to move it via the move tab, {{db-move}} on the _target_ of the move would have been adequate for a non-controversial case like this. —Random832 20:40, 14 January 2008 (UTC)

I whole-heartedly disagree with your "Importance rating of Low" on White Pass
Wikis' definition is as follows:
Subject is not particularly notable or significant even within the field of Alaska, and may have been included primarily to achieve comprehensive coverage of another topic.
This does not represent the history of the White Pass at all. Numerous books have been written on the White Pass by notable historians as it was the second most popular and used trails during Klondike Gold Rush as well as the reason the city of Skagway, Alaska was born. You need to change that rating.
Using Google and typing in "White Pass"would have easily shown you just how important the White Pass was, and still is. In the future please engage the most basic research before taking upon yourself to decide the importance level of an article. Thank you. Soapy (talk) 01:59, 1 February 2008 (UTC)
"Reckless" was not my choice of word, but rather is quoted by wikipedia in the two links you posted WP:BOLD and WP:BRD.
Though the boldness of contributors like you is one of Wikipedia's most precious assets, it is important that contributors do not edit recklessly. "Being Bold" does not excuse a disregard for verifiability, neutrality, and the other guidelines/policies that comprise the five pillars of Wikipedia.
However, after looking over the links I never saw your quote listed there, "Even making mistakes get things done." In my opinion that seems to be a very poor attitude for an encyclopedia to take. Can you post the link where that quote comes from?I so far have not found any write-ups on hurrying assessments at the cost of correctness. It seem logical that a correct assessment is of more importance than the placement, otherwise why even have them. The same as placing a birth date on a biography page. Is it more important to publish a date (any date) or to have the correct date. Soapy (talk) 02:14, 4 February 2008 (UTC)

Hi there,
This is a copy of what I put on the talk page:
"I'm against merging the two articles as they are very distinct organizations. Beyond sharing the same name and being Catholic institutions, their fundamental goals and objectives, in fact their whole raison d'etre, is quite different. St. Joseph Seminary (Edmonton, AB) and Newman Theological College are for the formation of those desiring to enter into the priesthood. St. Joseph's College on the other hand, is the Catholic presence at the University of Alberta and its primary purpose is student faith development and enrichment. These goals are obviously quite different, as are the institutions themselves."
It's a common misunderstanding in Edmonton when referring to a St. Joe's because there is a High School, College, Basilica and Seminary all with the same name. However, the mission of each is quite distinct and as such, a merger would be inappropriate. Matthew Cadrin (talk) 16:56, 4 February 2008 (UTC)
I ment to come and ask you about this the other day but got distracted and forgot. First question, how do you figure out where the pin should go.

I'm not at all happy with the choices you've made with the Coquitlam disambiguation page. If people do a search on "Coquitlam", the city of 120,000 people is almost certainly what they're looking for, not the other things which are named after the city. People should get taken to the Coquitlam page, with the option of then going to the disambig page. I'm hoping you'll resolve this. Greg Salter (talk) 03:53, 8 February 2008 (UTC)

I just did a major update to the list, making it similar to the List of communities in Nunavut. One thing I changed was the governance types. For example it's not clear from the references that Behchoko, Northwest Territories is a First Nations government. I noticed that Tli Cho says "...the chiefs must be Tłįchǫ, though anyone may run for councillor and vote." If that is true then it's possible that some non-Aboriginal people could be sitting on the council. So I used the Community Governance Data List in the list.

I noticed you added lots of cities. I was wondering if maybe you'd agree to just have those at thelevel of a census agglomeration or bigger.
Eventually, for some topic like Asbestos, Quebec, say, we might include templates for Estrie and Les Sources Regional County Municipality, and perhaps the Subdivisions of Quebec template, so it would be easy to navigate locally. Joeldl (talk) 01:51, 13 March 2008 (UTC)

Merging the regional and Quebec navboxes doesn't seem to me to be the best course of action, although I concede I said it "wouldn't be too bad." Maybe it would be appropriate for us to call for more opinions before going too much further in merging them. Joeldl (talk) 03:48, 14 March 2008 (UTC)
{{Subdivisions of Quebec|region=Estrie}}
). The regional templates are completely contained in the provincial one already, no additional coding would be necessary. It would only have to be implemented (easy to do with AWB). Of course, I'll put that on hold if you think we should seek consensus for that. --Qyd (talk) 04:05, 14 March 2008 (UTC)Hi Qyd,
I have a question concerning the assessment templates and their use within wikiproject Canada. I've been working on some of the pages on St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador, and had thought to add the WikiProject Canada and N&L project banners, but also included the assessments for the articles (example: Talk:The Battery (St. John's)) It occured to me that likely there is an accepted practice for this and I thought I'd ask how to have pages that should be under a specific project included and assessed.

. --Qyd (talk) 19:34, 14 March 2008 (UTC)This map should label and show a line for Rosario Strait, because of the role that plays in the Pig War - it passes to the east of Orcas, through the word "Cypress".
Labeling Haro Strait is less important (at least for the Pig War) since it can be inferred from the international border.
It would also be good to improve the island labeling, though it's difficult in the limited space - the word "Cypress" spreads across three islands, with Cypress actually the one to the east, while the two on the west are Blakely (to the north) and Decatur (to the south).
Definitely need to correct "Lumni" - should be "Lummi".
See topozone for reference.

Hey Qyd - I've been going through and expanding/sourcing the articles for members of the 26th Alberta Legislative Assembly. This has included adding the relevant project banners and, where necessary, updating the quality scale gradings (often from stub to start, or occasionally B). Proceeding alphabetically, I'm on the Bs now, and I see you rated Guy Boutilier as being of mid-importance on the importance scale. I have no particular thoughts on whether this is right or wrong, but I've been rating MLAs as being of low importance thus far (although there will obviously be exceptions with Premiers and their ilk). I'm quite happy to rate articles on whatever basis you like, since it's necessarily arbitrary and since you seem to do about 90% of the Wikiproject Alberta maintenance stuff anyway; I'd just like to hear your thoughts on what this basis should be. I'd also welcome any thoughts you have on my quality scale rankings. Sarcasticidealist (talk) 05:30, 28 March 2008 (UTC)

See http://www.tpr.alberta.ca/. I've changed a few of the parks, but they all should change eventually.

I see that you've added an islands infobox to Little Bay Islands, Newfoundland and Labrador. I am currently in the process of going through all the communities in Newfoundland and Labrador and adding the settlements infobox.

How do you feel about this issue?

Red roads: it's what I found marked as expressways or arterial roads on a Garmin mapset. I used statcan data for the roads, and that doesn't even have the ring road; I used a GPS track for the SW section of Henday, and I don't have anything for the SE ring. --Qyd (talk) 05:24, 1 May 2008 (UTC)
Hello again Qyd!
I've been quite impressed by the maps you do up for the Alberta Highways. I was updating various pages and hoping to get a similar map for Alberta Highway 12 and Alberta Highway 14. If you let me know where to find them when they're done, I can add them to the appropriate article.
Thanks! --Mr Minchin 19:50, 30 April 2008 (UTC)
