Area of Natural and Scientific Interest

Hey Bearcat, I noticed you've made a few changes regarding the categorization of Area of Natural and Scientific Interest (ANSI) and some associated articles (specifically, this edit). I don't think the changes were correct - an ANSI is not necessarily a park, though it may be. In general, an ANSI is simply a piece of land or water which has "represetative features" the government deems need to be protected. This may be within, overlap, or be equal to other designated areas, such as parks, but they retain their own classification. Some provincial parks may contain more than one ANSI, while others have none. You can find a list of zone types at the MNR website. I've created Category:Natural areas in Ontario to deal with this.

CHMB (AM)

Hello... a question. Do you have any resources that can confirm the license location for CHMB-AM? A new editor has been adding to the article; that's not a problem, but he/she has moved the station to "Vancouver" in the BC list. CHMB's parent has an office address in South Vancouver, but I can't find confirmation as to where it is actually licensed there or in New Westminster. Thoughts? --Ckatz_spy 00:03, 3 August 2007 (UTC)

Everything I Do-charts

Hi. Thanks for you comment on my discussionpage. I've actually added a source for the 39 weeks on top of the Canadian charts for (Everything I Do) I Do It for You several days ago. But the source doesn't specify if it is the RPM (magazine)-chart or the Singles Sales Chart. So if it only peaked #1 in 9 weeks at the RPM-charts, the 39 weeks must be from the Singles Sales chart.

Category:Canadian experimental filmmakers

Hi Bearcat, as you are the Master of Categories I wanted to check with you. I've created a cat. for Can. experimental filmmakers, similar to what has been done for British, American, etc. As I note on the Talk Page, I would have thought this would be a sub-category of Canadian film directors but it's not how it was done for the other nationalities and so I didn't do so here for consistency's sake. Would you agree with this? Shawn in Montreal 21:02, 3 August 2007 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image (Image:Bigdaddy1039.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:Bigdaddy1039.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Misplaced Pages under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Misplaced Pages. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Misplaced Pages (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Misplaced Pages page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BetacommandBot 06:13, 4 August 2007 (UTC)

Re: Toronto Meetup

TORONTO MEETUP NOTICE
	Hello Bearcat/Archive 1, I saw you name on the Wikiproject Toronto page and I would like to inform you about a Wiki Meetup that is being organized. If you are interested, feel free to add your input on the Toronto Meetup talk page. Regards, Nat Tang

C.Mulroney

Hey Bearcat, I think that you began the original Caroline Mulroney article a few years ago. However, I have re-nominated it for deletion. To me, and a few others, her own notability is related to other people (father, brother, husband) in her life. A year ago, someone commented that *first children* are indeed notable. That may be the case in the USA, but it is hardly the case in Canada or other parliamentary democracies. This is the 2nd nomination for deletion for this article. It was also nominated a year ago. Just letting you know.DDD DDD 02:26, 8 August 2007 (UTC)

OMNI Calgary

Houston, we have a Callsign!

The station's call-sign is "CHXC-TV", according to W9WI.com: RingtailedFox • Talk • Stalk 19:04, 8 August 2007 (UTC)

Yes there is! For OMNI Edmonton, we "CHXE-TV" for that station, as well. RingtailedFox • Talk • Stalk 19:06, 8 August 2007 (UTC)

Help again!

I have another situation again. One of the articles, "Maritime Broadcasting System" (found at http://en.wikipedia.org/Maritime_Broadcasting_System or could be "was found at...") is a candidate for speedy deletion. Can you save this article so it doesn't get the axe? Maple Leaf fan '04 23:55, 8 August 2007 (UTC)

Your Help

Thanks for helping me out with the articles 2007 Canada broadcast TV realignment and 2001 Vancouver, British Columbia TV realignment. they look much better now. RingtailedFox • Talk • Stalk 18:12, 9 August 2007 (UTC)

Return of the Vaughan City Council sockpuppet

Hey Bearcat, I recall that you were involved with the commotion about the Vaughan Council candidates pages (in the end, the consensus was that most were not notable enough to merit their own pages, and that their names should redirect to either the election or the council page). I recall a user being blocked for sockpuppetry after said user used sockpuppets in deletion discussions as well as repeated recreating candidate pages that were changed to redirects per the consensus. Do you recall the name of that sockpuppet? I'd like to tag the freshly-blocked CommonSenseEdits (talk · contribs · count) with the appropriate sock tag. OhNoitsJamie 17:03, 11 August 2007 (UTC)

Never mind, I dug it up...added tagged as likely VaughanWatch sock. OhNoitsJamie 17:36, 11 August 2007 (UTC)

Categories for Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence

Hi, the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence article gets a lot of vandalism so I apologize for readily reversing your deletion of categories. I have changed Activism to Activists, Sprituality to Neopaganism; Nuns I think is the best category for now unless a new sub-category opens up as Nuns by nationality seems odd as they would fit into several of those at the same time but that might be appropriate. Gender might seem like a duplicate but they actually fit into multiple subcategories within so I'm not sure what the best solution there is. Benjiboi 01:38, 12 August 2007 (UTC)

Question from a Misplaced Pages newbie

Hey, Bearcat, I see your signature on several Manitoba articles I have looked at. You recently made a good fix to an addition I had made to the Kevin Patterson article.

My question is this: Shouldn't this article have a proper references?

(I note that many stubs and short articles about Manitoba subjects are not referenced yet, but recently I had a note placed on an article I created saying that it did not meet standards of verifiability.) I'd do this referencing myself but I'm not sure I don't know how to yet. Blondeonblonde 20:19, 12 August 2007 (UTC)

Notification of proposal: Guideline/policy governing lists

Dear editor:

Given your extensive experience here on Misplaced Pages, I would greatly appreciate your input on the following topic:

Kawawachikamach, Quebec

Thanks for the info on how to change Category:Innu communities in Quebec to Category:Naskapi communities in Quebec, and the creation of those types of pages. As I'm sure is apparent, I'm new to Misplaced Pages. Just a side note, Innu are distinctly different peoples from the Naskapi, as any Naskapi or Innu person will tell you (usually accompanied with some disgust that you would suggest such a thing). :) Benjancewicz 15:54, 11 August 2007 (EST)

NBTV (Canada)

A tag has been placed on NBTV (Canada), requesting that it be speedily deleted from Misplaced Pages. This has been done because it is an article about a certain website, blog, forum, or other web content that does not assert the importance or significance of that web location. Please read our criteria for speedy deletion, particularly item 7 under Articles, as well as notability guidelines for websites. Please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources which verify their content.

Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself. To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait a while for you to add contextual material, please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page, and put a note on Talk:NBTV (Canada). Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Thanks. WebHamster 00:52, 15 August 2007 (UTC)

I have made no attempt to tell an administrator how to do things. I called it as I saw it. I didn't check out your user account. The article as it stood made no assertion of any importance etc and made no notice of what you were trying to attempt. I'm not a mind reader. I apologise if it's taken up your time but if you had made things clearer then perhaps this wouldn't have happened. WebHamster 01:02, 15 August 2007 (UTC)

Belinda

You mean, is he confusing "social democracy" with "social liberalism"? I suppose it's possible, though one would think he'd have discovered his error by now.

There'd be no harm in clarifying the terminology on the talk page, I suppose. CJCurrie 01:36, 15 August 2007 (UTC)

Hm. I have always assumed that our friend considers himself to be a social democrat and has a crush on Ms. Stronach. He is thus projecting his desire for her to share her views. I think I developed this theory early on based on his preoccupation with her, his dedication to securing a photo of her to post, and his early edits that replaced "Stronach" with "Belinda" because he thought it sounded better. I give you snaps for taking the time to try to reason thi through with him. I don't have hte patience anymore. The recent proliferation of new accounts promoting the same view makes me think that we're dealing with a rational person here. Ground Zero | t 02:33, 15 August 2007 (UTC)

Cities

I didn't realize that there were so many cases in Canada like this! I just did Penticton because it came to mind (because of Kamloops and Kelowna) because I was just in the area a couple weeks ago. Instead of have just 50 different discussions on 50 different pages, it would probably be better just to leave a note on talk pages to come and discuss at a central location like Misplaced Pages:Canadian wikipedians' notice board/Cities. I know we moved a lot of pages last summer and established the new convention apart from the American one. If a couple more go through smoothly, it shouldn't be an issue for a bunch more in the exact same situation. -Royalguard11(T·R!) 00:51, 16 August 2007 (UTC)

Bearcat, coincidentally, I started a list of undisambiguated Cdn cities at User:Skeezix1000/undisambiguatedcities, for my own reference because I was losing track (you'll see that I forgot Iqaluit, Flin Flon and HRM). I'm very glad to see your effort, and will contribute when I can. Skeezix1000 13:20, 16 August 2007 (UTC)

Blocked on Wictionary

Thanks. I've tried a few times but it still always opens to the full list unlike the templates at the bottom of the article that remain hidden once they have been reduced. I love the idea of it so I hope something can be done to fix it. jdobbin 19:55, 17 August 2007 (UTC)

Notability of National Campus and Community Radio Association

A tag has been placed on National Campus and Community Radio Association, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Misplaced Pages. This has been done because the article appears to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not assert the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think that you can assert the notability of the subject, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would confirm the subject's notability under Misplaced Pages guidelines.

I'm not breaking any rules. I disagree with you. An internet station is just as notable as one licensed by the CRTC. GreenJoe 23:14, 21 August 2007 (UTC)

Please assume good faith when dealing with other editors. See Misplaced Pages:Assume good faith for the guidelines on this. GreenJoe 23:14, 21 August 2007 (UTC)

I disagree. I don't think CRTC licensing is enough to make a station notable. Any station can get licensed, as we see with that category. GreenJoe 23:18, 21 August 2007 (UTC)

What I"m saying is that notability has to be either determined by the association with the campus, or something else. The CRTC licensing isn't enough. GreenJoe 23:21, 21 August 2007 (UTC)

Redirect of Pirate cat radio

Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Pirate cat radio, by another Misplaced Pages user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Misplaced Pages. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Pirate cat radio is a redirect to a non-existent page (CSD R1).

To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting Pirate cat radio, please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. Feel free to contact the bot operator if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot, bearing in mind that this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion; it does not perform any nominations or deletions itself.

I have seen your awesome helping hand around and about, and see you are also a part of WP Canada Music. A new user has created recently an article about Chameleon (Anglo-Canadian Band) which I can only add one reference about it myself,... and do not know have the knowledge, opeinion if the band is supported by wiki notability...maybe the one band member can have an article about them..Terry Cottam. Can you mail the new user...User talk:Af4k and give him advice to help his articles stand or if they must fold, then why... so he understands wiki as it is quite a blow within a few days to have your very very first article attempt in[REDACTED] toasted....

Just wondering if this would apply in the same context, if you added the DEFAULTSORT template to say, a subpage of userboxes, and the parameter was a username, would this mean that all of the categories which those userboxes apply to would list the user as "User:SteelersFan_UK06", and not, "User:SteelersFan_UK06/Userboxes"?

Neutrality Dispute at Quebec article

Your commentary is welcome (and needed). —Preceding unsigned comment added by Soulscanner (talk • contribs) 04:32, 3 September 2007 (UTC)

warning

A tag has been placed on Elaine MacDonald, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Misplaced Pages. This has been done because the article appears to be a repost of material that was previously deleted following a deletion debate, such as articles for deletion. If you can indicate how Elaine MacDonald is different from the previously posted material, or if you can indicate why this article should not be deleted, I advise you to place the template {{hangon}} underneath the other template on the article, and also put a note on Talk:Elaine MacDonald saying why this article should stay. An admin should check for such edits before deleting the article. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Please read our criteria for speedy deletion, particularly item 4 under General criteria. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself. We welcome your help in trying to improve Misplaced Pages, and we request you to follow these instructions.

Your edit comment that all candidates "MUST" be listed and "deletion is NOT acceptable" flies in the face of a an AfD procedure which resulted in a decision to delete, not a decision to redirect. Your action is a direction violation of Misplaced Pages policy. Continued action of this nature will result in your being blocked. Realkyhick 18:18, 3 September 2007 (UTC)

You certainly can tag a redirect for speedy, if it is a reposting of a title that was deleted through AfD as this one was. If there was a "convention" (please cite this) in place to redirect, you should have said so in the AfD discussion, but you did not even participate in this discussion. Instead, you took it upon yourself to ignore the results of the AfD, thereby violating Misplaced Pages policy. If you really think this article should be recreated as a redirect despite the AfD decision to delete, then I suggest you follow proper procedures and submit the article for deletion review. I would likely support a decision for redirect. My only problem is that you ignored the AfD and posted the redirect anyway. You've been around here long enough to know the rules.

Let me add that if I had known about the main candidate article, I would have pulled the AfD nomination and redirected it myself. Realkyhick 18:30, 3 September 2007 (UTC)

I must say that I was a little surprised that the AfD was not relisted for more consensus, but apparently the admin handling it felt the case for deletion was strong enough. That's their call, not mine. (I'm not an admin, and don't have a burning desire to be one.) Again, I think the proper thing to do is to go through WP:DRV. I think it would probably be restored in fairly short order, and I would certainly put in a good word for it. It's not too difficult; I've done it myself, and if I can do it, a caveman can do it. (Sorry, just saw a GEICO commercial on TV.) Realkyhick 18:55, 3 September 2007 (UTC)

As the AfD closer, I generally have tended to close debates with only three participants (including the nominator) all recommending delete; there tend to be quite a few of these each day, and the vast majority of them are uncontroversial, but that is clearly not the case here. Since both of you seem to be in agreement with the merge/redirect, which seems like a reasonable option, I'm perfectly willing to reverse my deletion of the edit history and save everyone the process of a DRV, as the debate wasn't reflective of the complete situation. Misplaced Pages isn't a bureaucracy, after all, and the first step listed WP:DP#Deletion review is to contact the closing admin for discussion, before DRV. — TKD::Talk 19:08, 3 September 2007 (UTC)

List of Radio Stations in other websites

Hi there, i've been editing and updating the listing of radio stations all over Canada in Misplaced Pages. I have noticed that there's other sites besides Misplaced Pages, where you can edit them as well, however, there are some sites that you cannot. Here below are some List of Radio Stations in Ontario from other sites:

LGBT WikiProject Newsletter

The LGBT studies WikiProject Newsletter

The LGBT studies WikiProject Newsletter! Issue IX - September 1, 2007 Message from Coordinator: It's been almost two months since the last newsletter came out, so there are a fair few people who haven't really been kept up with our project. I'd like to welcome all those who have joined and those who have returned, and strongly reccommend that you use the talkpage for any queries or problems you have. Happy editing! Article News The ongoing effort to create a comprehensive list of LGB people has begun to bear fruit - /A AND the /W-Z lists have been featured! Congratulations to Dev920 and SatyrTN who nominated them respectively. Please consider pitching in the the remaining lists to help us get them finished before the end of the year. Project News WP:LGBT now has an IRC channel! It is #LGBTProject on Freenode. Users without IRC or Xchat can use the java app at java.freenode.net to access the channel from their web browser. Hope to see you in there sometime! David Shankbone has taken a LOT of photos. An idea has been mooted to create a page for listing people who are willing to take images in their area on request, please give your thoughts here. Considerable discussion has recently been held on our coverage of same sex marriage, civil unions and domestic partnerships. You may be interested to read it. The list of LGBT people to be sorted has now been reduced by over 30%. Please help us with it, all of us adding just one person a day would have a dramatic effect! A gay cabal conspiracy ghost has been created to do with what you will. :) Member News Since the last newsletter was released, we have had more members been labelled inactive than who have signed up - please consider recruiting a few more people if you can, a WikiProject is only as good as its members. :) To stop receiving this newsletter, or to receive it in a different format, please let us know here. If you have any news or any announcements to be broadcast, do let Dev920 know.

Warner

Thx for the comment Bearcat. Sorry if I interpreted your comments to be negative regarding the existence of an article on Warner. I was really surprised that it seemed some people were against the existence of the article, but not for any other candidates (and pretty much all these people had an edit history with the Warner article, as well as other candidates).

I'm still not sure why the article speedily deleted and not edited! It was my first actual article contribution to Misplaced Pages, and was actually quite surprised at some of the reactions surrounding it from a very small body of users. I kind of ignored the article after I posted it, but I remember looking at the history at one point and getting the impression that a couple of users seemed on a vandetta to wipe Mr. Warner's education and personal history (despite this being referenced and truly peacock free), only to have the user Canam1 stubbornly posting it back. BTW, I agree the intro was pretty Peacocky but in my defence I have never done a bio before and thought the references were OK (which apparently some admins sided with during the discussion). Most of my Misplaced Pages experience over the years with small anonymous edits or corrections were to Computer Science related articles and those never have issues! I guess non-political articles are the brighter side of this site.

On that note, I have a n00b question if you don't mind: I greatly expanded the article about Bluetooth Scatternet's because it was a stub and had a context tag. I removed the context tag because I think I've explained the concept well enough, but at what point does an article not become a stub? I notice there's a severe lack of information on Misplaced Pages regarding Bluetooth and other wireless technologies, and want to contribute more, so I'm really wondering about this...

New Sudbury FM at 91.7 call sign

Hi Bearcat, I noticed that you had made up a new article for a future new radio station in Sudbury, Ontario to broadcast at 91.7 FM with a new call sign, CICS. I have no ideas of where you got this call sign from but I had e-mailed Larche Communications and a few other places to try and find out what the new call sign will be for the new country FM radio station in Sudbury and they've never replied! Since the branding will be KICX-FM, I figured that one of the new call signs for the new radio station would possibly be: CIKS, CIKX, CKKX, CKKS, CKXS, CIXS, and the one that has been picked, CICS. If I had already known what the new call sign will be, I could possibly had made the new article already, but thanks anyways! :-) Take care. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.167.224.11 (talk) 10:11, 19 September 2007 (UTC)

Template:Ontario TV

Heya! I've noticed you've merged all of the templates into one super template...won't it be harder to manage it like this, instead of as separate individual templates? it's not exactly standard, becuase the american TV templates aren't merged like this... i think the markets should be separate, like their american counterparts, but i won't revert or re-split them. i'd like to hear your response. :) RingtailedFox • Talk • Stalk 11:39, 28 September 2007 (UTC)

Montreal TV

I see, however I think major markets should still have a separate template. 5 out of the 9 stations in Montreal for example don't have a network of repeaters. The 4 that do still originate in Montreal (CKMI is based in Quebec City, but focuses on Montreal). Then there's also the border stations that target Montreal. All the smaller markets that are mostly repeaters/stations with repeaters can be joined into one template. -Noname2 00:09, 29 September 2007 (UTC)

Yes, that's what I meant, to only list the originating stations on the template. Also, in the case of Burlington/Plattsburgh stations in Montreal, not only do they reach Montreal over the air, but they try to sell advertising there and identify themselves as serving "Burlington, Plattsburgh, and Montreal". It's not like, say, Minneapolis stations in Winnipeg. -Noname2 12:54, 29 September 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for getting back to me. I did change it to make it less of a biography (as you stated last time) and also added web sources this time for the references. As I mentioned, I added it to the Canadian Radio Personality Stubs that has quite a big list. Why can't this person be added. He is just as notable as the others in the list?

LGBT WikiProject Newsletter

The LGBT studies WikiProject Newsletter

The LGBT studies WikiProject Newsletter! Issue X - October 1, 2007 The LGBT studies project has been rather quiet of late. Though we've added over 180 new members in the last year, only a small percentage are active participants. If you haven't visited our project or talk page in a while, please stop by for a look. Also, if you happen to bump into another editor who you feel might enjoy working with us, please extend an invitation. There's lot's do do, and the active members would sincerely appreciate some help. Welcome to the 11 new members that joined us in September: Bu852, JuniorMuruin, Laualoha, JereKrischel, Dybryd, Sexperts, Ctjf83, Allstarecho, Johnandbob, Carlossuarez46, and Carterdriggs! LGBT Project Peer review Our Peer review project is struggling at the present, with only a few people reviewing the articles. While it is certainly possible to submit articles for a general peer review, a review by members of the LGBT community can be of additional value for LGBT specific writing. There are several articles currently up for review on a wide range of topics. At the very least, reading the articles will undoubtedly broaden your intellectual horizons :-) Deletion discussions At the moment, David Le Brocq, Malmö Devilants and Trajectory Hermeneutics are up for deletion review. Please take a look at them and make your voice heard at the deletion review. Articles nominated for deletion also present a challenge for improvement. See what you can do, and watchlist our deletion review page. FA & GA article news Since our last newsletter, Fun Home and GayFest have been promoted to Good Article status. Congratulations to all editors who have worked so hard to improve them! While the T-Z list was promoted to Featured list on September 26, 2007, we have had no articles reach Featured Article status since Homer's Phobia was promoted last March. In fact, one article of our Project was delisted: Andrew Van De Kamp. Please take a look at out listed articles and see if you'd like to try to take one to Featured status (there are almost 8,000 to choose from). Additionally, Conversion therapy has been nominated for Featured status. Please read the article and give feedback at the Feartured Article Candidates page. (See also our FA-class list.) Pederasty article controversy The Pederasty articles continue to be a point of controversy both within and outside of our community. Various editors have suggested that to include them as LGBT Project related somehow taints the project and brings Misplaced Pages into disrepute. Other editors have stated that the articles, and especially the Pederasty article, are part of the core of LGBT studies. Well meaning editors continue to remove our tags from the articles themselves as well as the talk pages. If you have time, please read the articles and watchlist them to protect them from vandalism and well meaning but counterproductive edits. List of gay, lesbian or bisexual people The list of LGBT people has survived its 4th nomination for deletion. Please watchlist this list to protect it from vandalism and unsourced additions. There are many in Misplaced Pages who would like to see this Featured status list removed from the project. It is up to us to keep it to such a high caliber that it never is removed. David Shankbone Our project member David Shankbone is now working as a journalist for Wikinews, as well as continuing to improve our project and Misplaced Pages as a whole with his photographs. A sincere thank you goes out to him for all of his hard work. Misplaced Pages would not shine nearly as brightly without your contributions, David. Barbara Gittings The surviving life partner of prominent LGBT rights activist Barbara Gittings recently called one of our editors and, among other things, complimented us on what a great job our project is doing on Misplaced Pages. Thanks to everyone who contributes to this project, either through their article edits or support for other project members. We really are making an difference here! Member assistance Some of our project members have been having difficulties related to editing on the encyclopedia. If you are feeling frustrated or distressed by your editing experience, please don't keep it to yourself. Misplaced Pages is a collaborative effort, and we are all here to help one another. Drop a line on our talkpage or on another editor's page, and other members of the LGBT project will happily give you the support you want and need. Lastly, Halloween is just around the corner. More than most holidays, Halloween is a holiday embraced by and tailor made to our community (though God only knows why we are invisible in the Halloween article here. Perhaps somebody would like to rectify that editing oversight). Have fun, everybody, and remember to both trick and treat!

Ontario map

Nice job. Looks much nicer than the plain white one we were using before. Though it's obviously going to take quite a while to replace every map that needs replacing on here...I'd help if I had a clue how to do the dot placement! Bearcat 03:52, 13 October 2007 (UTC)

Thanks. :)

There is a code in the infoboxes that allows you to control the dot placement. If the following doesn't appear in the infobox, the just copy/paste it in.

|image_dot_map = Ontario Locator Map.svg
|dot_mapsize = 250px
|dot_map_caption = Location of {{PAGENAME}} *OR* Location of City in Ontario (if you want to personalize each one; {{PAGENAME}} is much quicker)
|dot_x = XX |dot_y = YY

XX is the horizontal placement, with 0 being the left side and 250 being the right side.

YY is the vertical placement, with 0 being the top and 250 being the bottom.

Usually I estimate where it is (ie. X 140 Y 200) then change it by smaller amounts until I get it in the right spot, using the preview mode. It isn't hard but it is a bit time consuming.

If you're going to try it, only replace maps which use the base map and a red dot. I have separate maps for single-tier municipalities and will be adding maps with insets for other cities like Toronto or Niagara Falls at a later time. vıdıoman (talk • contribs) 04:05, 13 October 2007 (UTC)

Succession boxes vs. nav templates

On the same lines...

If it already mentions someones successor in their main infobox (e.g. MPs, Senators) should we be getting rid of succession boxes there too? Or should we try to use infobox in a way that doesn't mention successors? What about people who held many offices?

Also, now that the comedy troupe and the TV series no longer share the same name, should the Royal Canadian Air Farce comedy troupe have its own article? Steelbeard1 15:14, 24 October 2007 (UTC)

I created the separate Royal Canadian Air Farce article. How is it? Now that the Talk: Air Farce Live page is cleared, it should be safe to move the historic Air Farce TV show talk page to this page. Steelbeard1 18:30, 24 October 2007 (UTC)

What article are you refering to? --Cloveious 06:35, 26 October 2007 (UTC)

Canadian Radio Personalities

Hi Bearcat, thanks for your response... you mentioned that just because someone is a Canadian Radio Personality it doesn't automatically give them the right to be on that particular stub. I just took a quick look into that stub as well as the TV personality stub... what makes these people notable enough? I'm just curious as to what exactly you're looking for?
