You probably won't be surprised to know that I'm already aware of the issue. And I do share your concerns. I was actually about to say something a day or two ago but didn't because GD posted that a tag was better than a removal, even if it was problematic. I'm not really familiar with WP policies in that regard so I just let it go, waiting for Eric to post some sort of defence. And like I said before, I hate to step in the middle of your disputes with GD. =) -- JGGardiner 08:43, 5 January 2007 (UTC)
Sorry--didn't mean to assume a lack of knowledge of surrealism. I never caught a reference to Peter Murphy in the song, but if there is a history there (i.e. animosity between Kilbey and Murphy), then maybe it fits. I don't feel particularly strongly about it, and after thinking about it, it really doesn't hurt to be on the list. Freshacconci 17:28, 8 January 2007 (UTC)

While I agree with you, I just did a lookup on the anon's IP number, and guess where it resolves to? APNIC. Which means, in a nutshell, that it's most likely the same person as our beloved DiNovo vandal (especially since the same person has also made edits to Sylvia Watson), and that it's very unlikely that any amount of discussion or reversion is going to make them settle for any version of the article that isn't theirs. I honestly don't know what the best way is to handle this, but we know from experience that editblocks and reversions aren't going to work.
I'd suggest maybe going back to your more thorough wording, but say that the incident "was characterized as a smear campaign" if it can be externally attributed to a viable source. Bearcat 03:08, 12 January 2007 (UTC)
Quit following me around; quit looking for any opportunity to support someone who opposes me no matter how bad an editor it is; and quit e-mailing people asking them to post comments against me. Your support for someone who reverted five times in 50 minutes is astonishing, and for you to chastise any admin for reverting takes the biscuit given you're one of the worst offenders. I'm serious, CJC. I don't want to see you following me around any more. If you continue, I'll begin dispute resolution. SlimVirgin (talk) 06:32, 15 January 2007 (UTC)
Well, technically, he served -one- day on Regional Council as a St. Catharines representative, the day they elected the Regional Chair. From that day forward, he was no longer a St. Catharines representative, but rather the chair for the entire region. Almas was filled to replace Partington, and then Rigby replaced Almas as Partington was re-selected as regional chair. So yes, Partington was a regional councillor, but for only one day after the 2003 election, and Almas replaced him for the rest of the 2003-2006 term. Partington was still regional chair up until the election, he was still technically regional chair during the re-selection of him as regional chair this past December.
Basically, to sum it up, it is in fact more correct to refer to Almas as Rigby's predecessor, not Partington. Partington's predecessor would Debbie Zimmerman, who was regional chair before him (and now a regional councillor)

CJ, why did you remove the lawsuit stuff from the Raymond Samuels Page? It was very well sourced and very relevant, I think it met the BLP (is that what it's called?) guidelines. The lawyers were involved and never said to remove it, I think it should go back in, it's relevant. Technicalglitch 04:03, 23 January 2007 (UTC)
re: your reply just now, I don't agree. I don't think you have the authority to be the last word on this article. Others have disagreed with you on this too. With all due respect, you value internet based research far more than actual court documents, and this is backwards. The lawsuit material is much better sourced than the other stuff in the aticle. Please put it back. I'll do so tomorrow if you don't.

CJ, I was trying to re-edit the Samuels page to reinstate the "other" section, and it won't let me save it as there's a "blacklisted hyperlink" somewhere on the page. I'm guessing it must be one of the sex-related links from your sections that you wrote, can you check it out? I can't figure it out. It's not something I'm introducing as I tried both adding it to the current version and reverting to a previous version, neither work, it's gotta be something forbidden that's already there.

An editor with no prior record of activity on this page (AFAIK) posted the "prohibited" version of the Marsden article a few minutes ago. I will assume that this editor was unfamiliar with the Arbcomm decision, which I have since forwarded to him.
I have reverted his changes, and I plan to delete and recreate the page *in its current form* after sending this post. Given this page's complicated history, removing the "prohibited" version from the documentary record seems to be a sensible precaution.

I would like to add the following text to the article under the header: Conservative Minority Government.
Jack Layton and the NDP continue to support the new proposed rules for income trusts introduced by the Conservatives October 31, 2006. The immediate result of the change in tax policy was a loss to Canadian investors of $20 Billion, the largest ever loss attributed to a change in government policy [1]. According to the Canadian Association of Income Trust Investors some 2.5 million Canadian investors were effected by the change in Income Trust Policy [2]

I'm not sure what that line is supposed to be about. A Conservative party official offers a nomination, then withdraws the offer. Is that supposed to say something about Marsden? Is Wikipedia sure the Conservative official had the right to make the offer? I just don't get why that can be considered an encyclopedic fact. Alaric the Goth
Why is it significant enough to mention? In what way? I just don't get the spin of this. If she's not fit to run for the Conservatives, why did they ask her? It seems more insultiung than anything. You answered my question by stating an opinion.
Alaric the Goth
I don't agree it was "scouting". It seems like a rash offer (perhaps, if the person making it was qualified to do so), taken back, and nothing of real substance. It seems like it's supposed to be something negative, since it's listed with her conviction.

Hi CJCurrie,
I was wondering if you have some free time helping with Antisemitism article(in which case I would be thankful). If not, that's perfectly okay.
I have been involved in that article for awhile and I think the Islam section is very POV. I think the section would not become neutral unless several new editors join in. There is a dispute here [1].

Does only part of the edit constitute a 3RR violation?
That is fine, I am always up for third parties and mediators. I would however like to explain something. Saying that it is "not fair" because he has also said that about Christianity does not mean anything, and I know you have been here long enough to know that. The quotation is also sourced by a reliable source, and I also know that you know that. That is a huge part of the opposing argument. Erasing it is not only a violation of NPOV but a vandalism violation since you knowingly remove a sourced quotation. Aside from that, there is a world of difference between a Christian leader saying that Christianity has had a monopoly on whatever, and a Christian leader saying that Jews thought they had a monopoly. Big difference, plus that does not even include the Jesus part, nor does it make the statement removable. Are you saying that the people who were offended should not be because he said something similar about Christianity? If so, fine, but that does not change the fact that *they were* offended about that controversial statement. -- Shamir1 04:33, 6 March 2007 (UTC)

welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you.
i appreciate your attempts at wikifying and improving the quality of the pallywood article, however, it would seem that both you and ChrisO have "taken the article hostage", not allowing anyone else to adding deeply relevant information. your initial attempts at deleting the article (whiche failed), and your insessant insistance on controlling the material that is inserted as if it's false and unrelated (did you even see the film "jenin jenin"? or the counter film made by pierre rehov?) are being the point of good editing and at the point of "controllism" over the article. i suggest, now that your work with the article is done, that you allow for other people with valid expertieze on the subject to introduce what materials they see as extremely relevant - frontpagemag was simply reporting on the "jenin, jenin" film and while the word 'pallywood' is not mentioned in the frontpage mag, it is (the film) mentioned at the seconddraft and it is also commonly reffered to as pallywood by people who reffer to "pallywood productions".

I'd like to draw your attention to these comments: [5] When an editor insists that the Holocaust is merely an "allegation" or a "political epithet", and I merely note that, do you really think that could in any way possibly amount to a violation of WP:NPA? Please quote the section you think applies, if you do. Or, if you weren't aware of those edits, perhaps you should retract your question. Jayjg (talk) 15:56, 16 March 2007 (UTC)
Repeating his comments really isn't stating anything about him, is it? If his own comments give you a bad impression of him, well... Also, it's hardly clear he was using a reductio ad absurdum argument, and his later comments tend to compound the problem. See, for example, User_talk:Quadell#Re:_jayjg.

Greetings. As an experienced Wikipedian and someone obviously heavily involved in Canadian politics pages, I'd like your advice as to how to handle an edit dispute I'm currently involved in concerning the Grant Devine article.

Personally I think many of the disputes could be resolved if we had some consistency in what is and what isn't to be said about politicians, and that is, more than anything, a structural issue with Wikipedia that probably has also been dealt with extensively in other wikis, concerning, perhaps, George Bush. Perhaps we can should be looking there for guidance as to how the community has dealt with the issue.
Basically what we have is one camp who wants to tar Grant Devine/Brad Wall with (sourced and referenced) bad stuff, but goes and eliminates the (sourced and referenced) bad stuff written about Lorne Calvert and other figures in NDP administrations. And we have another camp that does the opposite, and an edit war is the ultimate result. 70.73.4.197 21:42, 24 March 2007 (UTC)

Hey CJ -- maybe based on my suggestions, you could compile a list? The OR issues generally being your initiative, you may better be able to characterize them. I'm also not sure if the attribution issues, etc., in the "Responses" section require mediation. They should probably go on the list either way. If I started one, it would be 1.) The lead, 2.) The history section and OR issues, 3.) The responses section and attribution/NPOV issues. At the same time, I'm encouraged by Jay's comment that we may be able to resolve the lead without mediation.

You'll have to forgive me for venting my frustration, but it appears that no document, save mass media reports, are going to satisfy those opposed to the information in the article. Not just the articles written mt Matthew Lauder being objected to, but Canadian Human Rights Tribunal documents are being called "original research' and not acceptable as well. As it is I'm not sure that it's possible to re-write the article in any form since the bar for legitimate sources has been set so high as to not even include government and legal documents.

Dear Sir,
I realized after putting my edits that they were indeed dry and technichal and didn't flow with the last scentence in the section.
However: (1) according to the party constitution 'affilaited members' are scaled 25 percent of the vote, the rest is individual party members, and (2) affiliated membership is open to all the groups listed(which is in quotes because it is a quote). To revert the edits to '25 percent' would be an over simplication(which is perhaps appropriate), to revert it to 45 percent is plain wrong. I have set it to 25, but have ommitted the details. Whether you wish to change it back or not I would appreciate a note back explaining what specifically about my edits was innapropriate, thank you. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Jethro 82 ( talk • contribs) 14:43, 2 April 2007 (UTC).
The labelling of the party as “right-leaning” as opposed to “centre-right” is based purely on amateur speculation toward future policy or the isolated remarks of individual party members. The party should be assigned a label based on actual official policy and legislation that they introduced and/or supported in the House. Speculation on what the Conservatives would do with a majority government based on their much trumpeted “hidden agenda” is not a valid basis for assigning political alignment, since it is not factually verifiable, nor is speculation on the motivation of policy. Equally invalid are the isolated remarks of individual members, since they are not likely representative of the party as a whole. All mainstream federal parties have members who have been out-of-step with official stance. Former Liberal Carolyn Parrish and former New Democrat Bev Desjarlais are obvious examples, since few would label the Liberal Party as an inherently anti-American party, nor the NDP as against same-sex marriage. The recent federal budget, while arguably a product of political compromise, should serve as clear evidence that the Conservatives are a centre-right party. –Anon, 3 April 2007

My notes indicate that I got this from the "Creditiste MPs Outweight Socreds" article (Globe, 11 Sept 1963, p. 41). Is it possible that I made this note to myself as opposed to noting it from the article? Yes. I am sure, however, that the 12-member rule pre-dates Mulroney. I am quite certain that Trudeau bent the rule in 1974 to give Caouette's 11-man band official party status on the basis that it was a party that had been around a while and fell just one short. In 1979, Roy asked Clark to bend the rule again to allow the 6-man Socred caucus to be a party, and Clark refused. Next time I have access to the microfilm, I will try to check again, but that is unlikely to happen for quite a while. Without some evidence that the 12-member rule didn't exist at the time, I am not inclined to change it.
How does the article read? It could probably do with a critical eye. Ground Zero | t 22:59, 4 April 2007 (UTC)
It turns out the issue is a bit more complex. According to the Globe and Gazette articles I've cited in this article, in the summer of 1963, a $4000 allowance was introduced in for leaders of "any recognized group of 12 or more members in the House". This could be the start of the official party status, or could be another step along the way. Ground Zero | t 12:40, 20 April 2007 (UTC)

I've sent him another warning for his 3rr violation/edit war. If he persists for another week or two, I will file a report about him at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/3RR. It's been at least 2 months he's been doing that, so probably a 24h or 48h block may stop him one day. Also, this account is from the Public Works Government and Services Canada, although I doubt they will do something, if we contact hem about the abuse. Thanks!-- JForget 21:13, 24 May 2007 (UTC)

Hello CJCurrie. I am not sure why you reversed my change to Jack Layton that I did on May 25 at 07:42. I reversed what looked to me like vandalism by 172.144.242.130, but on May 26 at 00:01 you reversed my change, so the vandalism is back. Is there something I don't understand, or was this an error? The article looks very strange as it is... Que-Can 01:51, 26 May 2007 (UTC)
I just closed Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Wyatt McIntyre as a merge. You indicated some int erst in the AfD discussion in doing the merge. Do you plan to? As the closer, I feel some responsibility for doing some sort of merge if no one else does, but an editor who knows the subject area could probably do a better job.

I think we have one of the clearest cases of anonymous sockpuppetry ever. What do we do to stop all that vandalism and those personal attacks?-- Boffob 00:38, 22 June 2007 (UTC)
the 3RR applies to everyone, however, the 3RR relates to reverts/contributions that are against edits of other users - it does not apply to changing/upgrading your own edits. to make things clear, i have no idea on who anon. editor is and i have no problem with an IP check being made if you feel i'm not being honest.
i am a bit concerned with the lack of respect i am receiving from both non anon. editors as a fellow editor by what could be regarded as a POV attempt to push reviews (in a non consensus way) that are against the film to lead the article. please help make the work on this article less confrontational so that we can get it over with and move on to other projects.

The succession boxes for the current ministers of the Canadian parliament are currently not following the proper standards of

Thanks for your kindly worded opposition. I've cancelled the straw poll, with the idea of trying to lay out the basic procedural premises from which we might move forward. So, I'm wondering if you would be so kind as to reply to the policy (G1-2) and the new procedural (P1-3) principles I've floated. This may be better than getting bogged down in Name options, though I would point out that you used the phrase "(an overview of the) 'Israeli apartheid' analogy", which itself might satisfy P1-3. I'd respect your feedback. Thanks. HG | Talk 10:44, 9 August 2007 (UTC)

Hi CJC. The above article relates, like NAS, to a contested concept. Except that it doesn't even tell you which authors promote the concept or find it useful. Created by an editor who registered, and made 27 edits, all either to this article or creating links to this article, then edited no more. If you had time to have a glance at it, would be appreciated. Best wishes. Itsmejudith 16:32, 10 September 2007 (UTC)
I wonder if you might look at this? Piperdown's been perma-banned as a "Wordbomb sock." Apparently no checkuser was performed, but David Gerard has said to me that there's evidence I can't see as a non-admin. Candidly, the idea that Piperdown is WordBomb seems surprising to me, to say the least. I know the Judd Bagley – Gary Weiss situation on Wikipedia is an intractable mess, and I don't frankly much care about it or naked shorting or any of all that BS. My only concern is that Piperdown may have been mistakenly identified as a WB puppet; he struck me as a serious and established editor with integrity. I asked David Gerard if I could see the evidence, and am taking silence for a no. I wonder if you could have a look at it, and say if it seems compelling? Your word would be all I'd need.-- G-Dett 23:56, 10 September 2007 (UTC)

You can change it back and I won't change it again if it makes you feel better. It's just kind of sad that the misnomer "Indo-Canadian" is used to describe Indian-Canadians. I mean you have Arab-Canadians (Egyptian-Canadians, Lebanese-Canadians, Palestinian-Canadians, Syrian-Canadians etc.) Bangladeshi-Canadians, British-Canadians (English-Canadians, Scottish-Canadians and Welsh-Canadians), Chinese-Canadians, French-Canadians, German-Canadians, Greek-Canadians, Iranian-Canadians, Irish-Canadians, Italian-Canadians, Japanese-Canadians, Korean-Canadians, Latino-Canadians (Chilean-Canadians, Dominican-Canadians, Mexican-Canadians etc.) Native Canadians/Aboriginals (Cree, Inuit, Iroquois, Metis etc.) Pakistani-Canadians, Portuguese-Canadians, Russian-Canadians, Somali-Canadians, Thai-Canadians, Ukrainian-Canadians and so on and so forth. "Indo-Canadian" is a vacant term that means nothing. But again if you want to change it back I won't change it again so knock yourself out.
God bless.
Hey. Name's BCSWowbagger. I haven't been around WP for a while and I don't check my Talk page every day like I used to, so I'm willing to defer, but I thought it worth bringing this up: When I read the Israel-Palestine section of the Desmond Tutu article, I see some of it as not being very encylopedic--certainly not up to FA snuff. These are mainly little things--for example, I don't see how what Melanie Phillips' opinion on the matter is is relevant any more than Ann Coulter or Tom Hanks' opinions would be. She is not a Jew, she is not close to the archbishop in any way, and she is basically just a pundit. Secondly, the extended quote from the professor of Justice and Peace studies seems unnecessary--it's giving additional space to a particular subtopic simply because it's of recent impact. Again, it's just an example of some random irrelevant guy having an opinion. Good for him. Shouldn't be in the encylopedia. Lastly, I don't understand why you reverted the citation to the City Pages' article--the Star Tribune is a far more reputable and well-respected source, being a newspaper of national standing, whereas the City Pages is basically a sensationalistic rag.
Otherwise, you've obviously done a lot of good for article, adding additional specifics where there were none before (where I said "Jewish groups," you expanded to, "some Jewish groups, including the ADL and the Simon Wiesenthal Institute..."), so I'm not complaining about your work in general. These are just some things I think could be improved by using my version.
Write me on my Talk page; I promise I'll check this week. Thanks! -- BCSWowbagger 07:52, 9 October 2007 (UTC)

Please do not delete documented things, or go against the original research policy which you did with Greg Felton. It is against the rules. Canada.com has said he wrote for the National Vanguard, of course Felton's interest is to say he didn't authorize them but this is against original research and a breach of the wikipedia rules. He is on JDL's web site as a jew hater, does that make him one? No, it says he is one. Not sure why you edited the exact same way as he had it without making a discussion of who is in favor of writing it the way you wish, but you have to put this in talk before deleted everything and attempting to delete a very worthy person off wikipedia.
Sorry to bother you, CJCurrie, but eternalsleeper is feeding you a lot of ^#@$^%. He earlier acknowledged that I was not responsible for the National Vangaurd reprint, yet here he is again demanding that it be included. I think you and I both know that JDL-champion eternalsleeper has little or no interest in objective research. Earlier comments by you and another editor about the dubious credibility of Ezra Levant and the JDL are spot on. Too bad eternalsleeper doesn't respect them, just as he refuses to respect the rules of Wikipedia.
Here are two samples from his talk page from other editors. I put Eternalsleeper's comments into italics for purposes of clarity:
April 2007 Please stop. If you continue to vandalize Wikipedia, as you did to Jewish Defense League, you will be blocked from editing. —DerHexer (Talk) 18:42, 13 April 2007 (UTC)
I don't see myself as a vandal at all :) Unfortunately, it's not enough that some unnamed person at the FBI tells you that they don't regard the JDL as a terrorist group. It has to do with verifiability, a fundamental Wikipedia policy. You need to find some published official statement by the FBI, or else ask them to clarify their position in a public statement. Please note that we are not saying that the FBI lists the JDL as a terrorist group in 2007, because we don't have any evidence for that. We say that they used the label "right-wing terrorist group" in their report for 2000/2001 (which is the latest available).--Denis Diderot 02:23, 22 April 2007 (UTC)
You have no official proof JDL is listed as a terror group. I will say though, it humors me that the two or three people have contributed to strictly anti-Zionist articles in the past. ~~eternalsleeper~~
Your edit [2] and the edits above look like they fail to assume the good faith of the other editors when you start throwing around accusations of "anti-Zionist" and "anti-Semetic" (actually it's anti-Semitic) but spelling errors aside it's still not civil. Ttiotsw 04:10, 29 April 2007 (UTC)

I've know that you have an interest in the Canadian far right. Perhaps you would want to provide your input on whether these two articles should be kept as they are, modified, or deleted as per the nomination? AnnieHall 05:37, 24 October 2007 (UTC)
you have reverted twice my adition to the article and then blaming me for vandalizing the article please tell me whats the problem maybe we could fix it together don't just tell me "i will block you", why? and why are you righting that its a minor here read this [Minor_edit]
[13] this is minor?
here is the piece:
"Its interesting to note that Dalton McGuinty is a Roman Catholic himself which could explain why he has nothing against status quo of Ontario education inequality. Canada's approach to religious education has sometimes been criticized as inconsistent. Catholic education public funding is mandated by various sections of the Constitution Act, 1867 and reaffirmed by Section Twenty-nine of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms. The United Nations Human Rights Commission declared in 1999 that Ontario was in violation of the international covenant on civil and political rights by only funding Catholic schools and not other faith-based schools. Newfoundland withdrew Catholic funding in 1996, via legislation that required approval from the Canadian House of Commons. Quebec abolished religious education funded by the state through the Education Act, 1998 which took effect on July 1st of that same year.
If such a act of Antisemitism and discrimination, against any other religion, is permissible for Dalton McGuinty the premier of the most populous province of Canada, how could Canada condemn other countries like Russia or China about human rights or religious freedom??? How could we force someone to listen to United Nations if we don’t listen??? Is Canada a good example??? There is no other western democratic country which violates the rights of its citizens just because they are minority and are not big percentage of electorate! John Tory was the only leader who maid a point to do something right and not just something that will help him to win an elections!"

In case you are not watching the situation, G2bambino got one editor's agreement to include the material in the infobox of the Harper article, then began making the change to all the Canadian PM articles. I'm ensuring that you know, on the thought that you may wish to take further part in resolving the issue. There's a discussion of sorts begun at the Harper article.

Hello, this is a message from
an automated bot. A tag has been placed on
Ross Sutherland, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be
speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because
Ross Sutherland seems 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.
To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting
Ross Sutherland, 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. To see the user who deleted the page, click

Hey CJCurrie - as you may or may not be aware, the above article (which you created) has been nominated for deletion. Among other things, the nominator is claiming that the article is original research, a claim that as far as I can tell he's making based solely on the lack of sources in the article. Anyway, debate's here, and we'd appreciate your presence if you can spare the time. Sarcasticidealist 05:37, 4 December 2007 (UTC)
Your edits were mostly POV-pushing:
So my reverts are definitely "restoring the balance to the article".
-- Gabi S. ( talk) 19:56, 6 December 2007 (UTC)
If you look closely, you'll notice I did not perform any reverts. Rather, I simply conducted additional edits after you repeatly removed or altered my material to whitewash Bangash's views. I have added a note to the end the statement in which he wrote called for the explusion of "zionists" "from all of Palestine" but since he has never clarifed his statement, people are free to interpret it.
One more thing, don't threaten me with being blocked. I am well aware of Wikipedia's rules. ( Hyperionsteel ( talk) 03:56, 21 December 2007 (UTC))
I've removed the sentence that speculated about the meaning of Bangash's statement. Instead, I've simply written that Bangash has never clarified the statement. ( Hyperionsteel ( talk) 04:24, 21 December 2007 (UTC))

You probably won't be surprised to know that I'm already aware of the issue. And I do share your concerns.

Sorry--didn't mean to assume a lack of knowledge of surrealism. I never caught a reference to Peter Murphy in the song, but if there is a history there (i.e. animosity between Kilbey and Murphy), then maybe it fits.

While I agree with you, I just did a lookup on the anon's IP number, and guess where it resolves to? APNIC. Which means, in a nutshell, that it's most likely the same person as our beloved DiNovo vandal (especially since the same person has also made edits to Sylvia Watson), and that it's very unlikely that any amount of discussion or reversion is going to make them settle for any version of the article that isn't theirs. I honestly don't know what the best way is to handle this, but we know from experience that editblocks and reversions aren't going to work.
I'd suggest maybe going back to your more thorough wording, but say that the incident "was characterized as a smear campaign" if it can be externally attributed to a viable source. Bearcat 03:08, 12 January 2007 (UTC)
Quit following me around; quit looking for any opportunity to support someone who opposes me no matter how bad an editor it is; and quit e-mailing people asking them to post comments against me. Your support for someone who reverted five times in 50 minutes is astonishing, and for you to chastise any admin for reverting takes the biscuit given you're one of the worst offenders. I'm serious, CJC. I don't want to see you following me around any more. If you continue, I'll begin dispute resolution. SlimVirgin (talk) 06:32, 15 January 2007 (UTC)
Well, technically, he served -one- day on Regional Council as a St. Catharines representative, the day they elected the Regional Chair. From that day forward, he was no longer a St. Catharines representative, but rather the chair for the entire region. Almas was filled to replace Partington, and then Rigby replaced Almas as Partington was re-selected as regional chair. So yes, Partington was a regional councillor, but for only one day after the 2003 election, and Almas replaced him for the rest of the 2003-2006 term. Partington was still regional chair up until the election, he was still technically regional chair during the re-selection of him as regional chair this past December.
Basically, to sum it up, it is in fact more correct to refer to Almas as Rigby's predecessor, not Partington. Partington's predecessor would Debbie Zimmerman, who was regional chair before him (and now a regional councillor)

CJ, why did you remove the lawsuit stuff from the Raymond Samuels Page? It was very well sourced and very relevant, I think it met the BLP (is that what it's called?) guidelines. The lawyers were involved and never said to remove it, I think it should go back in, it's relevant. Technicalglitch 04:03, 23 January 2007 (UTC)
re: your reply just now, I don't agree. I don't think you have the authority to be the last word on this article. Others have disagreed with you on this too. With all due respect, you value internet based research far more than actual court documents, and this is backwards. The lawsuit material is much better sourced than the other stuff in the aticle. Please put it back. I'll do so tomorrow if you don't.

There was nothing unfair in the original article on Yisreol Dovid Weiss. Those unflattering facts about Yisreol Dovid Weiss should not be deleted simply because you think its not even handed, just like facts concerning Hitler should not be removed because they are unflattering. Your concerns. provided they are rooted in fact, ought to be discussed. If you don't know the relevant facts, it is advisable that you first learn them and THEM decide to make edits by people who are apparently fluent on the issues. Thank you.

CJ, I was trying to re-edit the Samuels page to reinstate the "other" section, and it won't let me save it as there's a "blacklisted hyperlink" somewhere on the page. I'm guessing it must be one of the sex-related links from your sections that you wrote, can you check it out? I can't figure it out. It's not something I'm introducing as I tried both adding it to the current version and reverting to a previous version, neither work, it's gotta be something forbidden that's already there. Technicalglitch 20:47, 31 January 2007 (UTC)
Hi CJ. Please see the articles on Stephen Harper and Paul Martin. It seems that party leaders have a small flag next to their date of birth in the infobox - probably to spruce it up.

An editor with no prior record of activity on this page (AFAIK) posted the "prohibited" version of the Marsden article a few minutes ago. I will assume that this editor was unfamiliar with the Arbcomm decision, which I have since forwarded to him.
I have reverted his changes, and I plan to delete and recreate the page *in its current form* after sending this post. Given this page's complicated history, removing the "prohibited" version from the documentary record seems to be a sensible precaution.
Please inform me if you disagree with my decision. CJCurrie 03:14, 6 February 2007 (UTC)

I would like to add the following text to the article under the header: Conservative Minority Government.
Jack Layton and the NDP continue to support the new proposed rules for income trusts introduced by the Conservatives October 31, 2006. The immediate result of the change in tax policy was a loss to Canadian investors of $20 Billion, the largest ever loss attributed to a change in government policy [1]. According to the Canadian Association of Income Trust Investors some 2.5 million Canadian investors were effected by the change in Income Trust Policy [2]

I'm not sure what that line is supposed to be about. A Conservative party official offers a nomination, then withdraws the offer. Is that supposed to say something about Marsden? Is Wikipedia sure the Conservative official had the right to make the offer? I just don't get why that can be considered an encyclopedic fact. Alaric the Goth
Why is it significant enough to mention? In what way? I just don't get the spin of this. If she's not fit to run for the Conservatives, why did they ask her? It seems more insultiung than anything. You answered my question by stating an opinion.
Alaric the Goth
I don't agree it was "scouting". It seems like a rash offer (perhaps, if the person making it was qualified to do so), taken back, and nothing of real substance. It seems like it's supposed to be something negative, since it's listed with her conviction.

Hi CJCurrie,
I was wondering if you have some free time helping with Antisemitism article(in which case I would be thankful). If not, that's perfectly okay.
I have been involved in that article for awhile and I think the Islam section is very POV. I think the section would not become neutral unless several new editors join in. There is a dispute here [1].
Thanks,-- Aminz 06:56, 28 February 2007 (UTC)
Does only part of the edit constitute a 3RR violation?
That is fine, I am always up for third parties and mediators. I would however like to explain something. Saying that it is "not fair" because he has also said that about Christianity does not mean anything, and I know you have been here long enough to know that. The quotation is also sourced by a reliable source, and I also know that you know that. That is a huge part of the opposing argument. Erasing it is not only a violation of NPOV but a vandalism violation since you knowingly remove a sourced quotation. Aside from that, there is a world of difference between a Christian leader saying that Christianity has had a monopoly on whatever, and a Christian leader saying that Jews thought they had a monopoly. Big difference, plus that does not even include the Jesus part, nor does it make the statement removable. Are you saying that the people who were offended should not be because he said something similar about Christianity? If so, fine, but that does not change the fact that *they were* offended about that controversial statement. -- Shamir1 04:33, 6 March 2007 (UTC)

welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you.
i appreciate your attempts at wikifying and improving the quality of the pallywood article, however, it would seem that both you and ChrisO have "taken the article hostage", not allowing anyone else to adding deeply relevant information. your initial attempts at deleting the article (whiche failed), and your insessant insistance on controlling the material that is inserted as if it's false and unrelated (did you even see the film "jenin jenin"? or the counter film made by pierre rehov?) are being the point of good editing and at the point of "controllism" over the article. i suggest, now that your work with the article is done, that you allow for other people with valid expertieze on the subject to introduce what materials they see as extremely relevant - frontpagemag was simply reporting on the "jenin, jenin" film and while the word 'pallywood' is not mentioned in the frontpage mag, it is (the film) mentioned at the seconddraft and it is also commonly reffered to as pallywood by people who reffer to "pallywood productions".

I'd like to draw your attention to these comments: [5] When an editor insists that the Holocaust is merely an "allegation" or a "political epithet", and I merely note that, do you really think that could in any way possibly amount to a violation of WP:NPA? Please quote the section you think applies, if you do. Or, if you weren't aware of those edits, perhaps you should retract your question. Jayjg (talk) 15:56, 16 March 2007 (UTC)
Repeating his comments really isn't stating anything about him, is it? If his own comments give you a bad impression of him, well... Also, it's hardly clear he was using a reductio ad absurdum argument, and his later comments tend to compound the problem. See, for example, User_talk:Quadell#Re:_jayjg. Jayjg (talk) 22:03, 16 March 2007 (UTC)
I notcied you were trying to post a comment at the WP:RM page. Jayjg moved the entry out of the section where I had originally listed it, into the section where it now sits. Is this right? I ask only because I'm unfamiliar with the process and considering his deep partisan involvement against a name change, I'm wondering if his actions were appropriate. Thanks.

Hey CJ Currie, whatever happened to Sarah Ewart? Has her account been deleted? - Finnegans wake 01:42, 24 March 2007 (UTC)
Greetings. As an experienced Wikipedian and someone obviously heavily involved in Canadian politics pages, I'd like your advice as to how to handle an edit dispute I'm currently involved in concerning the Grant Devine article. A look at the second-last section of the talk page will show you what I'm dealing with. Thanks! -- Hiddekel 03:25, 24 March 2007 (UTC)
Personally I think many of the disputes could be resolved if we had some consistency in what is and what isn't to be said about politicians, and that is, more than anything, a structural issue with Wikipedia that probably has also been dealt with extensively in other wikis, concerning, perhaps, George Bush. Perhaps we can should be looking there for guidance as to how the community has dealt with the issue.
Basically what we have is one camp who wants to tar Grant Devine/Brad Wall with (sourced and referenced) bad stuff, but goes and eliminates the (sourced and referenced) bad stuff written about Lorne Calvert and other figures in NDP administrations. And we have another camp that does the opposite, and an edit war is the ultimate result. 70.73.4.197 21:42, 24 March 2007 (UTC)

Hey CJ -- maybe based on my suggestions, you could compile a list? The OR issues generally being your initiative, you may better be able to characterize them. I'm also not sure if the attribution issues, etc., in the "Responses" section require mediation. They should probably go on the list either way. If I started one, it would be 1.) The lead, 2.) The history section and OR issues, 3.) The responses section and attribution/NPOV issues. At the same time, I'm encouraged by Jay's comment that we may be able to resolve the lead without mediation.

I noticed that Guille's article had been subed yesterday but hadn't realized the whole thing would be removed (as was the Canadian Heritage Alliance). I have to say this is a little frustrating. There was good information there that was well sourced. AnnieHall 02:57, 31 March 2007 (UTC)
You'll have to forgive me for venting my frustration, but it appears that no document, save mass media reports, are going to satisfy those opposed to the information in the article. Not just the articles written mt Matthew Lauder being objected to, but Canadian Human Rights Tribunal documents are being called "original research' and not acceptable as well. As it is I'm not sure that it's possible to re-write the article in any form since the bar for legitimate sources has been set so high as to not even include government and legal documents. AnnieHall 20:54, 13 April 2007 (UTC)
Dear Sir,
I realized after putting my edits that they were indeed dry and technichal and didn't flow with the last scentence in the section.
However: (1) according to the party constitution 'affilaited members' are scaled 25 percent of the vote, the rest is individual party members, and (2) affiliated membership is open to all the groups listed(which is in quotes because it is a quote). To revert the edits to '25 percent' would be an over simplication(which is perhaps appropriate), to revert it to 45 percent is plain wrong. I have set it to 25, but have ommitted the details. Whether you wish to change it back or not I would appreciate a note back explaining what specifically about my edits was innapropriate, thank you. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Jethro 82 ( talk • contribs) 14:43, 2 April 2007 (UTC).
The labelling of the party as “right-leaning” as opposed to “centre-right” is based purely on amateur speculation toward future policy or the isolated remarks of individual party members. The party should be assigned a label based on actual official policy and legislation that they introduced and/or supported in the House. Speculation on what the Conservatives would do with a majority government based on their much trumpeted “hidden agenda” is not a valid basis for assigning political alignment, since it is not factually verifiable, nor is speculation on the motivation of policy. Equally invalid are the isolated remarks of individual members, since they are not likely representative of the party as a whole. All mainstream federal parties have members who have been out-of-step with official stance. Former Liberal Carolyn Parrish and former New Democrat Bev Desjarlais are obvious examples, since few would label the Liberal Party as an inherently anti-American party, nor the NDP as against same-sex marriage. The recent federal budget, while arguably a product of political compromise, should serve as clear evidence that the Conservatives are a centre-right party. –Anon, 3 April 2007

My notes indicate that I got this from the "Creditiste MPs Outweight Socreds" article (Globe, 11 Sept 1963, p. 41). Is it possible that I made this note to myself as opposed to noting it from the article? Yes. I am sure, however, that the 12-member rule pre-dates Mulroney. I am quite certain that Trudeau bent the rule in 1974 to give Caouette's 11-man band official party status on the basis that it was a party that had been around a while and fell just one short. In 1979, Roy asked Clark to bend the rule again to allow the 6-man Socred caucus to be a party, and Clark refused. Next time I have access to the microfilm, I will try to check again, but that is unlikely to happen for quite a while. Without some evidence that the 12-member rule didn't exist at the time, I am not inclined to change it.
How does the article read? It could probably do with a critical eye. Ground Zero | t 22:59, 4 April 2007 (UTC)
It turns out the issue is a bit more complex. According to the Globe and Gazette articles I've cited in this article, in the summer of 1963, a $4000 allowance was introduced in for leaders of "any recognized group of 12 or more members in the House". This could be the start of the official party status, or could be another step along the way. Ground Zero | t 12:40, 20 April 2007 (UTC)

I wonder if you might look at this? Piperdown's been perma-banned as a "Wordbomb sock." Apparently no checkuser was performed, but David Gerard has said to me that there's evidence I can't see as a non-admin. Candidly, the idea that Piperdown is WordBomb seems surprising to me, to say the least. I know the Judd Bagley – Gary Weiss situation on Wikipedia is an intractable mess, and I don't frankly much care about it or naked shorting or any of all that BS. My only concern is that Piperdown may have been mistakenly identified as a WB puppet; he struck me as a serious and established editor with integrity. I asked David Gerard if I could see the evidence, and am taking silence for a no. I wonder if you could have a look at it, and say if it seems compelling?

i'm aware that there's a great temptation to revert when you see something you dislike, however, you have missed that the cited ref only notes that the independent considers the cartoon as criticism and the term "others" in that regard is a weasel term that should be avoided. [12] Jaakobou Chalk Talk 02:24, 20 September 2007 (UTC)
You currently appear to be engaged in an
edit war according to the reverts you have made on
Bob Rae. Note that the
three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions in a content dispute within a 24 hour period. Additionally, users who perform a large number of reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring, even if they do not technically violate the
three-revert rule. If you continue, you may be
blocked from editing. Please do not repeatedly revert edits, but use the talk page to work towards wording and content that gains a
consensus among editors. I know you're a sysop but potential edit warring merits a friendly warning. And yes, I've warned the other guy as well.

Regarding this, what is WP:POLICY regarding linking to youtube? I can't see a problem, except for reasons such as a) we have reason to think (not necessarily an RS) that the footage is falsified or b) YouTube qualifies as an "attack site" or c) dunno?. PR talk 10:56, 5 October 2007 (UTC)
I saw the nice article you wrote 2 years ago about John K. Downes. Unfortunately, I've been unable to find any references about him. Did you write it from memory or after consulting a source. If a source, it would be nice for the source to be cited. Mrs.EasterBunny 21:36, 6 October 2007 (UTC)
You can change it back and I won't change it again if it makes you feel better. It's just kind of sad that the misnomer "Indo-Canadian" is used to describe Indian-Canadians. I mean you have Arab-Canadians (Egyptian-Canadians, Lebanese-Canadians, Palestinian-Canadians, Syrian-Canadians etc.) Bangladeshi-Canadians, British-Canadians (English-Canadians, Scottish-Canadians and Welsh-Canadians), Chinese-Canadians, French-Canadians, German-Canadians, Greek-Canadians, Iranian-Canadians, Irish-Canadians, Italian-Canadians, Japanese-Canadians, Korean-Canadians, Latino-Canadians (Chilean-Canadians, Dominican-Canadians, Mexican-Canadians etc.) Native Canadians/Aboriginals (Cree, Inuit, Iroquois, Metis etc.) Pakistani-Canadians, Portuguese-Canadians, Russian-Canadians, Somali-Canadians, Thai-Canadians, Ukrainian-Canadians and so on and so forth. "Indo-Canadian" is a vacant term that means nothing. But again if you want to change it back I won't change it again so knock yourself out.
God bless.
Hey. Name's BCSWowbagger. I haven't been around WP for a while and I don't check my Talk page every day like I used to, so I'm willing to defer, but I thought it worth bringing this up: When I read the Israel-Palestine section of the Desmond Tutu article, I see some of it as not being very encylopedic--certainly not up to FA snuff. These are mainly little things--for example, I don't see how what Melanie Phillips' opinion on the matter is is relevant any more than Ann Coulter or Tom Hanks' opinions would be. She is not a Jew, she is not close to the archbishop in any way, and she is basically just a pundit. Secondly, the extended quote from the professor of Justice and Peace studies seems unnecessary--it's giving additional space to a particular subtopic simply because it's of recent impact. Again, it's just an example of some random irrelevant guy having an opinion. Good for him. Shouldn't be in the encylopedia. Lastly, I don't understand why you reverted the citation to the City Pages' article--the Star Tribune is a far more reputable and well-respected source, being a newspaper of national standing, whereas the City Pages is basically a sensationalistic rag.
Otherwise, you've obviously done a lot of good for article, adding additional specifics where there were none before (where I said "Jewish groups," you expanded to, "some Jewish groups, including the ADL and the Simon Wiesenthal Institute..."), so I'm not complaining about your work in general. These are just some things I think could be improved by using my version.
Write me on my Talk page; I promise I'll check this week. Thanks! -- BCSWowbagger 07:52, 9 October 2007 (UTC)
A template you have created or significantly contributed to, {{ user12}}, is the subject of a discussion I have started on the village pump. — Random832 17:53, 10 October 2007 (UTC)
In case it's not on your watchlist, I thought I'd let you know that User:JForget has proposed merging this article into the candidate articles. My first reaction is to be in favour of the proposal, but I have a high enough regard for your opinion that I'd like to hear why you created it as a separate article before I commit one way or another. Sarcasticidealist 23:15, 11 October 2007 (UTC)
Please do not delete documented things, or go against the original research policy which you did with Greg Felton. It is against the rules. Canada.com has said he wrote for the National Vanguard, of course Felton's interest is to say he didn't authorize them but this is against original research and a breach of the wikipedia rules. He is on JDL's web site as a jew hater, does that make him one? No, it says he is one. Not sure why you edited the exact same way as he had it without making a discussion of who is in favor of writing it the way you wish, but you have to put this in talk before deleted everything and attempting to delete a very worthy person off wikipedia.
Sorry to bother you, CJCurrie, but eternalsleeper is feeding you a lot of ^#@$^%. He earlier acknowledged that I was not responsible for the National Vangaurd reprint, yet here he is again demanding that it be included. I think you and I both know that JDL-champion eternalsleeper has little or no interest in objective research. Earlier comments by you and another editor about the dubious credibility of Ezra Levant and the JDL are spot on. Too bad eternalsleeper doesn't respect them, just as he refuses to respect the rules of Wikipedia.
Here are two samples from his talk page from other editors. I put Eternalsleeper's comments into italics for purposes of clarity:
April 2007 Please stop. If you continue to vandalize Wikipedia, as you did to Jewish Defense League, you will be blocked from editing. —DerHexer (Talk) 18:42, 13 April 2007 (UTC)
I don't see myself as a vandal at all :) Unfortunately, it's not enough that some unnamed person at the FBI tells you that they don't regard the JDL as a terrorist group. It has to do with verifiability, a fundamental Wikipedia policy. You need to find some published official statement by the FBI, or else ask them to clarify their position in a public statement. Please note that we are not saying that the FBI lists the JDL as a terrorist group in 2007, because we don't have any evidence for that. We say that they used the label "right-wing terrorist group" in their report for 2000/2001 (which is the latest available).--Denis Diderot 02:23, 22 April 2007 (UTC)
You have no official proof JDL is listed as a terror group. I will say though, it humors me that the two or three people have contributed to strictly anti-Zionist articles in the past. ~~eternalsleeper~~
Your edit [2] and the edits above look like they fail to assume the good faith of the other editors when you start throwing around accusations of "anti-Zionist" and "anti-Semetic" (actually it's anti-Semitic) but spelling errors aside it's still not civil. Ttiotsw 04:10, 29 April 2007 (UTC)
Multiple accounts Please see my note on User talk:208.124.136.98. You are apparently violating out policy on sock puppets.

Please discuss this on the talk page rather than engaging in an edit war. -Will Beback · † · 19:41

Hi CJ, just wanted to let you know off-stage that I do appreciate your effort in this regard. BTW, I found the link to our previous brief exchange on this. Back then, you didn't sound like you would have supported your suggested title, so I commend you if this is a sign of flexibility and rethinking. (And I empathize even more if it's merely Lethe!) By any chance, were you inspired to move the issue due to the ArbCom case? In any case, take care and thanks for your constructive effort(s). HG | Talk 04:37, 16 October 2007 (UTC)

Please ban eternalsleeper from maliciously editing the page "Greg Felton" In the past I had to ask that the page be taken down because of his misconduct. If you cannot or will not do as I ask than please pull the page.

Hello CJCurrie. I'm currently doing some fixes on his article for trying to make it a GA-rating, but there are a few areas that needs sources that I cannot find, and I'm wondering if you may have some of those elements such as Energy Minister bit as well as details about his early life, like from who he is born. See the talk page for the elements that needs to be fixed/added so it can passed, I think there's only the weekend left (yeah I know I should alert earlier) I've did most of the changes suggested/demanded so there isn't a whole lot left.Thanks.

I've know that you have an interest in the Canadian far right. Perhaps you would want to provide your input on whether these two articles should be kept as they are, modified, or deleted as per the nomination? AnnieHall 05:37, 24 October 2007 (UTC)
you have reverted twice my adition to the article and then blaming me for vandalizing the article please tell me whats the problem maybe we could fix it together don't just tell me "i will block you", why? and why are you righting that its a minor here read this [Minor_edit]
[13] this is minor?
here is the piece:
"Its interesting to note that Dalton McGuinty is a Roman Catholic himself which could explain why he has nothing against status quo of Ontario education inequality. Canada's approach to religious education has sometimes been criticized as inconsistent. Catholic education public funding is mandated by various sections of the Constitution Act, 1867 and reaffirmed by Section Twenty-nine of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms. The United Nations Human Rights Commission declared in 1999 that Ontario was in violation of the international covenant on civil and political rights by only funding Catholic schools and not other faith-based schools. Newfoundland withdrew Catholic funding in 1996, via legislation that required approval from the Canadian House of Commons. Quebec abolished religious education funded by the state through the Education Act, 1998 which took effect on July 1st of that same year.
If such a act of Antisemitism and discrimination, against any other religion, is permissible for Dalton McGuinty the premier of the most populous province of Canada, how could Canada condemn other countries like Russia or China about human rights or religious freedom??? How could we force someone to listen to United Nations if we don’t listen??? Is Canada a good example??? There is no other western democratic country which violates the rights of its citizens just because they are minority and are not big percentage of electorate! John Tory was the only leader who maid a point to do something right and not just something that will help him to win an elections!"

Hello, this is a message from
an automated bot. A tag has been placed on
Ross Sutherland, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be
speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because
Ross Sutherland seems 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.
To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting
Ross Sutherland, 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

Hey CJCurrie - as you may or may not be aware, the above article (which you created) has been nominated for deletion. Among other things, the nominator is claiming that the article is original research, a claim that as far as I can tell he's making based solely on the lack of sources in the article. Anyway, debate's here, and we'd appreciate your presence if you can spare the time. Sarcasticidealist 05:37, 4 December 2007 (UTC)

If you look closely, you'll notice I did not perform any reverts. Rather, I simply conducted additional edits after you repeatly removed or altered my material to whitewash Bangash's views. I have added a note to the end the statement in which he wrote called for the explusion of "zionists" "from all of Palestine" but since he has never clarifed his statement, people are free to interpret it.
One more thing, don't threaten me with being blocked. I am well aware of Wikipedia's rules. ( Hyperionsteel ( talk) 03:56, 21 December 2007 (UTC))
