Hello, 117Avenue! I saw you recently edited a page related to the Green party and green politics. There is a new WikiProject that has been formed - WikiProject Green Politics and I thought this might be something you'd be interested in joining! So please head on over to the project page and take a look! Thanks for your time. Me-123567-Me ( talk) 18:25, 22 January 2017 (UTC)
Hello 117Avenue. Will you be creating Alberta municipal elections, 2017 at some point? If no, I will remove the redlink at Alberta municipal censuses, 2017#See also. Cheers, Hwy43 ( talk) 04:28, 5 February 2017 (UTC)
Welcome to spring! I’ve almost finished redrawing the 1938 ERR map to replace the NF version that was deleted, but I want your advice about a couple of things before I complete it. I don’t know whether or not you still have a copy of the source, but anyway you may recall it shows two former segments (“Portage Avenue (Kingsway) 1915–1916” and “106 Avenue c.1920”) in thinner or dotted lines. I’m including those. At the same site there was once a 1924 map, which (unlike the 1938 map) did make it into the Wayback Machine: see here. It shows a line running west from 124 St. on 102 Av., but unfortunately the scan is cut off before its western end. Moreover there‘s no indication of how long it was used, or when between 1924 and 1938 it was abandoned. So I’m debating whether to include it—at least a stub of the eastern end—in the same style as the other two, with only “102 Avenue” for a label, or to leave it off for lack of information. (As a practical matter, I have little room on that edge, having based my “artboard” on the 1938 map, so I’m weighing the slight value added by an incomplete or conjectural addition against the inconvenience of enlarging or shifting the viewframe.) Any thoughts?
A curiosity: on the 1924 map the Jasper Av. route crosses the Latta Ravine (just east of 92 St.) on a bridge, but the 1938 map shows the track detouring some distance above. Perhaps the bridge was being repaired or replaced at that time, but I‘m debating whether or not to show the detour. Were I sure it was a temporary situation I‘d leave it out, but if the route was permanently changed between 1924 and 1938 it would be misleading to show the older version under the latter date.

Hi there, you may be interested in commenting in a bulk AfD that includes a bunch of Edmonton road articles you created back in 2009. Regards, " Pepper" @ 00:05, 12 April 2017 (UTC)
Hey 117Avenue, would you be able to weigh in here re: "Liberals" or "BC Liberals"? There's merit to the other user's argument and I'd like the input of some other editors who have worked on the 2017 BC Election.

Hi,
I'm on the Wikipedia Typo Team, and noticed that you recently reverted my edit on this page. I'm trying to eliminate duplications of the word "the" when it shouldn't appear, which is almost always. I'm not sure why you reverted it, but if it's because "the" is part of the title, it still shouldn't appear twice - when the definite article is followed by a title starting with "the", there should only be one "the". Even though logic suggests there should be two, that's a misconception. (Try reading your reverted version out loud, or ask yourself whether it's proper to sing " The Star Spangled Banner" or "the The Star Spangled Banner"). If there is something that I missed or don't understand, please let me know, or if you prefer to recast the sentence entirely to avoid repeating "the", that's another approach.

Hi again - I rewrote the sentence entirely to avoid the double 'the.'

How else am I supposed to get the page in Category:Redirect-Class severe weather articles if I can't tag it with the WikiProject banner (which I note is done with 31 other redirects at present). The page is indeed a redirect, from Talk:Edmonton Tornado to Talk:Edmonton tornado, and it should be tagged as such for WikiProject statistical purposes. Tagging it below the redirect code preserves the redirect functionality, allowing it to be tagged without impairing the function of the redirect. This is why the messages here can be placed on redirects. Ks0stm ( T• C• G• E) If you reply here, please ping me by using {{ re|Ks0stm}} in your reply. 17:36, 22 July 2017 (UTC)
Hi 117Avenue,
You reviewed an edit of mine for a tagline and I just had a question. I cited the Town's city hall verified Google+ page as I thought it was a reliable source for the tagline. You reverted the change stating it wasn't a reliable source. Would a reliable source be their official town website? Unfortunately I am unsure they have any encyclopedic sources for their tagline. It is not the biggest deal but just wanted to ask! Thanks for your contributions. Connorbrown22 ( talk) 14:08, 21 July 2017 (UTC)
Check my comment on Josh Blaylock talk page regarding the sources that I tried to add for his birthdate. I am having trouble sourcing them btw. If you can help, will be appreciated. 104.34.108.44 ( talk) 06:08, 9 November 2017 (UTC)
