Hello, Ground Zero. I've been working on the William Balfour (general) article. I noticed you called him English. This is probably correct as far as it goes. If I understand the source article, he was born in Scotland and became "naturalised" English. I'm sort of thinking out loud here, but, how would he have described himself? I know Scots are very proud of Scotland. Whatever you can tell me about your research, or even just your thoughts, I would appreciate. Thanks! -- Kenatipo speak! 16:43, 27 February 2011 (UTC)

Hello. I noticed your recent edit. Yoho2001 is a good and well-intentioned editor, who has made some very valuable contributions to Wikipedia, esp. in relation to heritage sites. But he has insisted for years on removing references to Canada from articles. I raised the issue with him in 2007 and 2009, if you look at his talk page. It was like talking to a wall. I don't say that to be uncivil, but that's what it felt like. In other discussions he's mentioned that it comes across as insecure and self-conscious to mention the word Canada. He seems perhaps to completely miss the point (international encyclopedic, not everyone in the world knows where Ontario is, it's basic information), and keeps insisting it's a style decision. I personally have stopped arguing with him about it (I don't like getting into prolonged arguments with editors that I otherwise like), and just reverse his deletions whenever he does it with appropriate edit summaries.-- Skeezix1000 ( talk) 15:56, 19 March 2011 (UTC)

Excuse me, but I have noticed that you have been editing several articles about Canadian electoral districts, and have referenced your information - this is, of course, good, and I am glad you have done so. However, you seem to have not noticed that several of these articles had not previously had any references on them, and thus had not previously had reasons to have reference sections or lists of references. If you could perhaps check that an article has a reference section when adding references (and even adding one if there is none), it would be suggested. Thank you.

To clarify: Y-D Square is regarded by scholars, the Downtown Yonge BIA, and retired city councillor Kyle Rae as a conditional space allowing public access. Specific by-laws regulating the space within Y-D Square were passed by Toronto city council as a condition to encourage a private concern, Cadillac Fairview, to build the square.
Per Ruppert, Evelyn S. (2006). Note pp. 68–9 in particular.
Also, in Smith, Christopher (2004), p. 159:
"the author quotes Toronto police chief Julian Fantino as saying: 'a problem is now arising where portions of the public believe that Dundas Square is a public space;' (13). This passage dramatically reinforces the sheer hypocrisy inherent in the marketing of Dundas Square, which has consistently been advertised as being an explicitly "public" space; nowhere in the "public" discourse surrounding the project is the term "public-private partnership" employed." link: http://pi.library.yorku.ca/ojs/index.php/public/article/view/30361/27889
Finally, in Rahder, Barbara & Richard Milgrom (2003), The Uncertain City: Making space(s) for difference, in Canadian Journal of Urban Research, 13(1), p. 37
"In the case of Yonge-Dundas Square, uses of a 'public' space are suppressed and managed to project a safe image of harmonious diversity to potential urban investors and tourists."
And on p. 35:
"[Yonge-Dundas Square] is heavily regulated, and permits are required for anything but the most passive activities." — Preceding unsigned comment added by 132.216.228.116 ( talk) 02:01, 10 July 2011 (UTC)

I can understand why you would revert my protection template removal. As per the times at the articles history page, it was 3 hours since you had readded the protection template.

Again, I can understand why you would actually do that, and I don't really have a problem with it. LikeLakers2 ( talk | Sign my guestbook!) 15:01, 24 September 2011 (UTC)
