Hi! What do you think, is George Miok notable, or this article could be deleted? -- Eino81 ( talk) 01:05, 6 January 2010 (UTC)

Now I need your supoort: Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/George Miok -- Eino81 ( talk) 09:07, 7 January 2010 (UTC)
Please be advised that the following articles have been nominated for deletion at Articles for deletion/January 9:
These short articles were created with the assumption that they are hamlets. After a recent review of which settlements are actually hamlets, it was found that these community are not currently registered by Alberta as a hamlet, if it they ever were. I nominated them for deletion as they are short, and not notable. 117Avenue ( talk) 01:05, 10 January 2010 (UTC)
Don't worry about it...it's just that it'll take a few people to get it sorted out, that's all. And while we might sometimes redirect a really small and unreferenceable place to another article instead of leaving it as a separate article, we never delete articles about real places no matter how small they are. The only ones I've deleted are places where there was an error (spelling, incorrect title, etc.) in the link you started with in the first place — but those errors wouldn't be your fault; you just created a stub for every redlink on the list, and if there were some that were wrong it's the fault of the person who put an incorrect link there in the first place. Bearcat ( talk) 07:53, 11 January 2010 (UTC)
My apologies, I thought my computer was acting up until your message popped up. If I’m reading this right, if we’re using Koppen’s classification, you can’t have a “semi-arid continental climate”. You’re basically describing a steppe climate (which is semi-arid). The map [1], categorizes both cities as Dfb climates. The map is indeed correct as neither city is semi-arid. As crazy as this sounds the two cities have a humid continental climate, albeit a very dry version of the climate. ( G. Capo ( talk) 20:53, 19 January 2010 (UTC))
I reverted your edit of that page. There are other entries within that list that don't have references.

Some links you're adding to Lauren Luke seem questionable, for example this one to a blog that encourages readers to shop, but has little or no encyclopedic content. [2] ("...you can run (don't walk) to your nearest Sephora and buy it in-store!

Hi. I have noticed you adding a whole bunch of new mountains, which is great. Just as well is your addition of sources but it would be an improvement if you used the citation templates so the references look better organized. For references to pages on bivouac.com, you can use the {{ cite bivouac}} template, specifying the mountain id, name and the access date, as shown in the following example:
<ref name=bivouac>{{cite bivouac|id=14|name=Mount Logan|accessdate=2010-02-19}}</ref>
PeakFinder does not currently have its own citation template. You can copy/paste the following sample for using the {{ cite web}} template:
<ref name=pf>{{cite web|url=http://www.peakfinder.com/peakfinder.asp?PeakName=Mount+Robson|title=Mount Robson| publisher=PeakFinder|accessdate=2010-02-19}}</ref>
Please be sure to use the accessdate parameter. Good articles require this to be specified for a reference so it would be a great help in the long run. Thanks. RedWolf ( talk) 06:59, 19 February 2010 (UTC)

Hi Kyle1278, please see Talk:List of communities in Alberta#Cities of Alberta. I wasn't a Wikipedia user at the time of the redirect of List of cities in Alberta to List of communities in Alberta#Cities last summer. Can you recall why the redirection occurred while the same did not for Villages of Alberta, Summer villages of Alberta, Hamlets of Alberta and List of Alberta municipal districts? Also, your input on the proposed creation of a Cities of Alberta article would be greatly appreciated, especially since it is essentially a suggested reversal of the past redirect.

such articles (religion) often come across COI and I submit there's probably quite a bit of WP:OWN going on too. However I know independently of this article that she is the head/founder of the Emissaries of the Divine Light a "major minor" religious sect of largely white Hindus, or with Hindu-like belief, who are very active as a religious minority in various parts of BC, particularly in the South Cariboo, around 100 Mile House, and in the West Kootenay; on a friend's whim we went out to the east shore of Kootenay Lake to check out their ashram and temple (and gift-shop LOL....but it was a very nice gift-shop); her image is the featured item on the flower table in the temple/meditation room. I don't know much more about them except that their existence is regularly recounted in local and sometimes provincial media; around 100 Mile House their relative wealth is one thing keeping local retailers going (along with a large population of wealthy German aristocrats). I've never found further citations about them, though I'm sure they're out there if I dug hard enough; about her is another matter; but just because she's obscure doesn't mean she's not notable. You should alost note, by way of example about COI on religion pages, that most saint and bishop pages in the Orthodox Church article hierarchy are clearly COI, often POV or at least "unbalanced"; some have links that go through to a members-only Wiki run by the church (i.e. which is not editable by other Wikipdeians....).....if anything this article I think needs just better cites and an article is needed on the Emissaries....pls reply on my talkpage it's easier for me to keep track of than watchlisting everyone's pages for single topics...

Thanks for creating Saint-Gédéon, Quebec. I was able to expand the article with some material from the corresponding article in the French Wikipedia. If you create any more articles about places in Quebec, please check whether there is a corresponding article in the French Wikipedia which you can add an interwiki link to. Articles in the French Wikipedia don't normally include the name of the province in the title, so the French article on Saint-Gédéon, Quebec can be found at fr:Saint-Gédéon. The reason I mention this is that another editor put a speedy tag on Dixville, Quebec, another article which you created. I removed the speedy tag and expanded that article as well.

Hello,
Please be aware that
longitude and
latitude are divided into 60 minutes, which are divided into 60 seconds. {{
Location map}}
uses decimal degrees, which means to calculate degrees in decimals from minute and second format, you must divide the seconds by 60, then add that number to the minutes, then divide that number by 60, then add that number to the degrees. Simply placing the minutes and seconds number after the decimal will not place the red dot on location map in the correct location. Also, something as small as a building can be a couple of seconds across, hundreds of a second accuracy is not need for hamlets (it is
false precision), seconds is fine. Thanks,

Thanks for the compliment. First off, I must state that Koppen’s system isn’t flawless. A few cities (like Edmonton and Calgary) do not fall neatly into any category. However, I believe that it’s the best system to classify climates. Going strictly by the numbers, Edmonton & Calgary are both humid continental climates. However, I would emphasize these cities relative lack of humidity. I’d characterize Edmonton as a markedly drier version of a humid continental climate. I’d emphasize the fact that while Edmonton technically has a humid continental climate, it is not a particularly humid city. Calgary is a more complicated situation. My gut says that Calgary has a steppe climate, or at least has a strong steppe influence. I would write something to this effect…Calgary features a humid continental climate with a strong steppe influence. As a result, a “humid continental climate” is something of a misnomer to describe Calgary’s climate. G. Capo ( talk) 17:26, 20 April 2010 (UTC)

Thank you for uploading File:Stjoachim.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, please add a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a brief restatement of that website's terms of use of its content. However, if the copyright holder is a party unaffiliated from the website's publisher, that copyright should also be acknowledged.
If you have uploaded other files, consider verifying that you have specified sources for those files as well. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged per Wikipedia's criteria for speedy deletion, F4.

Hello. Your account has been granted the "reviewer" userright, allowing you to review other users' edits on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged protection, will be commencing a two-month trial at approximately 23:00, 2010 June 15 (UTC).
Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under flagged protection. Flagged protection is applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial.
When reviewing, edits should be accepted if they are not obvious vandalism or BLP violations, and not clearly problematic in light of the reason given for protection (see Wikipedia:Reviewing process). More detailed documentation and guidelines can be found here.
If you do not want this userright, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. Courcelles ( talk) 03:57, 16 June 2010 (UTC)

I have posted the following on the Winnipeg article discussion page:
Why do certain people insist on placing the statement "According to Environment Canada....Winnipeg is the coldest city in the world with over 600,000 population", when even with the qualification that the claim only relates to daily minima for the Dec-Feb period the statement is not true. There are numerous other cities that are far larger (Harbin, Ulan Bator, etc.) that have colder nightly minima during the winter months. Is it because the statement is sourced? Should a statement that is patently false belong in this article simply because a source can be provided? Can it not be accepted that Environment Canada makes errors? (Many, many, errors, I would add). And really, who cares what city has the coldest daily minima in the winter months; times of the day when most people are sleeping. More important is annual average temperature. With respect to that, Winnipeg is not even the coldest major city in Canada, Edmonton is. I've removed the statement a few times, but certain editors (you know who you are) continue to re-insert it. -- 24.77.41.241 ( talk) 23:05, 26 October 2010 (UTC)
Please explain on the Winnipeg discussion page why you continue to revert my edit which deletes an untrue statement (sourced or not). Please explain why you feel that a statement that is false belongs in the Winnipeg article and provide an argument as to your rationale for believing that it does.
By the way, in the grocery store today I saw a National Enquirer with the headline that a man gave birth to a baby. I suppose I should go ahead and edit the pregnancy article in Wikipedia to reflect that men can get pregnant too; I mean come on, I can provide a source. -- 24.77.41.241 ( talk) 23:05, 26 October 2010 (UTC)

Hi; saw your addition of the "means" to Lytton and Lillooet, caused me to fix a few citations/wordings on Lillooet's page. I'm the one who added the uncited bit about the microclimates varying on different benches, it's very, very true....I had a look at Environment Canada's historical data, and it complicates things that the measuring station has moved over time....currently it's at, SFAIK, the Seton Powerhouse just south of Cayoosh Creek, though the MoF keeps its own weather measure, not sure if that's reported on-line, ditto the school, t he RCMP etc.....and at Riverlands Farm in East Lillooet. The historical locations vary, some were originally at the government agent's office (about where the post office is now).....there's gotta be biogeoclimatic study on the area, somewhere, it's rather famous around there for the rapidly-shifting climate regimes.....but also here to note that historical records, such as for highs and lows and rainfall, were not all from a constant location, but changing over time....in the area, moving by 1/4 mile is a lot, climate-wise....the Powerhouse is a good half mile from downtown, maybe more, and not really representative of town....in the same way that YVR's weather data doesn't apply to downtown Vancouver, or even to South Vancouver/Kerrisdale, though they're nearby.....

Hi Kyle. I saw you listed at WP:WikiProject Canada as being someone who edits climate templates. Would you be able to help out with the table at Manitoba#Climate? It's quite messy as it stands, and I have no idea how to clean it up. If not, that's fine, just let me know. Thanks, Nikkimaria ( talk) 14:04, 9 February 2010 (UTC)

Hi. I have noticed you adding a whole bunch of new mountains, which is great. Just as well is your addition of sources but it would be an improvement if you used the citation templates so the references look better organized. For references to pages on bivouac.com, you can use the {{ cite bivouac}} template, specifying the mountain id, name and the access date, as shown in the following example:
<ref name=bivouac>{{cite bivouac|id=14|name=Mount Logan|accessdate=2010-02-19}}</ref>
PeakFinder does not currently have its own citation template. You can copy/paste the following sample for using the {{ cite web}} template:
<ref name=pf>{{cite web|url=http://www.peakfinder.com/peakfinder.asp?PeakName=Mount+Robson|title=Mount Robson| publisher=PeakFinder|accessdate=2010-02-19}}</ref>
Please be sure to use the accessdate parameter. Good articles require this to be specified for a reference so it would be a great help in the long run. Thanks. RedWolf ( talk) 06:59, 19 February 2010 (UTC)

Hi Kyle1278, please see Talk:List of communities in Alberta#Cities of Alberta. I wasn't a Wikipedia user at the time of the redirect of List of cities in Alberta to List of communities in Alberta#Cities last summer. Can you recall why the redirection occurred while the same did not for Villages of Alberta, Summer villages of Alberta, Hamlets of Alberta and List of Alberta municipal districts? Also, your input on the proposed creation of a Cities of Alberta article would be greatly appreciated, especially since it is essentially a suggested reversal of the past redirect.

such articles (religion) often come across COI and I submit there's probably quite a bit of WP:OWN going on too. However I know independently of this article that she is the head/founder of the Emissaries of the Divine Light a "major minor" religious sect of largely white Hindus, or with Hindu-like belief, who are very active as a religious minority in various parts of BC, particularly in the South Cariboo, around 100 Mile House, and in the West Kootenay; on a friend's whim we went out to the east shore of Kootenay Lake to check out their ashram and temple (and gift-shop LOL....but it was a very nice gift-shop); her image is the featured item on the flower table in the temple/meditation room. I don't know much more about them except that their existence is regularly recounted in local and sometimes provincial media; around 100 Mile House their relative wealth is one thing keeping local retailers going (along with a large population of wealthy German aristocrats). I've never found further citations about them, though I'm sure they're out there if I dug hard enough; about her is another matter; but just because she's obscure doesn't mean she's not notable. You should alost note, by way of example about COI on religion pages, that most saint and bishop pages in the Orthodox Church article hierarchy are clearly COI, often POV or at least "unbalanced"; some have links that go through to a members-only Wiki run by the church (i.e. which is not editable by other Wikipdeians....).....if anything this article I think needs just better cites and an article is needed on the Emissaries....pls reply on my talkpage it's easier for me to keep track of than watchlisting everyone's pages for single topics...

Thanks for creating Saint-Gédéon, Quebec. I was able to expand the article with some material from the corresponding article in the French Wikipedia. If you create any more articles about places in Quebec, please check whether there is a corresponding article in the French Wikipedia which you can add an interwiki link to. Articles in the French Wikipedia don't normally include the name of the province in the title, so the French article on Saint-Gédéon, Quebec can be found at fr:Saint-Gédéon. The reason I mention this is that another editor put a speedy tag on Dixville, Quebec, another article which you created. I removed the speedy tag and expanded that article as well.

Hello,
Please be aware that
longitude and
latitude are divided into 60 minutes, which are divided into 60 seconds. {{
Location map}}
uses decimal degrees, which means to calculate degrees in decimals from minute and second format, you must divide the seconds by 60, then add that number to the minutes, then divide that number by 60, then add that number to the degrees. Simply placing the minutes and seconds number after the decimal will not place the red dot on location map in the correct location. Also, something as small as a building can be a couple of seconds across, hundreds of a second accuracy is not need for hamlets (it is
false precision), seconds is fine. Thanks,

Thanks for the compliment. First off, I must state that Koppen’s system isn’t flawless. A few cities (like Edmonton and Calgary) do not fall neatly into any category. However, I believe that it’s the best system to classify climates. Going strictly by the numbers, Edmonton & Calgary are both humid continental climates. However, I would emphasize these cities relative lack of humidity. I’d characterize Edmonton as a markedly drier version of a humid continental climate. I’d emphasize the fact that while Edmonton technically has a humid continental climate, it is not a particularly humid city. Calgary is a more complicated situation. My gut says that Calgary has a steppe climate, or at least has a strong steppe influence. I would write something to this effect…Calgary features a humid continental climate with a strong steppe influence. As a result, a “humid continental climate” is something of a misnomer to describe Calgary’s climate. G. Capo ( talk) 17:26, 20 April 2010 (UTC)

Thank you for uploading File:Stjoachim.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, please add a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a brief restatement of that website's terms of use of its content. However, if the copyright holder is a party unaffiliated from the website's publisher, that copyright should also be acknowledged.

Hello. Your account has been granted the "reviewer" userright, allowing you to review other users' edits on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged protection, will be commencing a two-month trial at approximately 23:00, 2010 June 15 (UTC).
Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under flagged protection. Flagged protection is applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial.
When reviewing, edits should be accepted if they are not obvious vandalism or BLP violations, and not clearly problematic in light of the reason given for protection (see Wikipedia:Reviewing process). More detailed documentation and guidelines can be found here.
If you do not want this userright, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. Courcelles ( talk) 03:57, 16 June 2010 (UTC)

I have posted the following on the Winnipeg article discussion page:
Why do certain people insist on placing the statement "According to Environment Canada....Winnipeg is the coldest city in the world with over 600,000 population", when even with the qualification that the claim only relates to daily minima for the Dec-Feb period the statement is not true. There are numerous other cities that are far larger (Harbin, Ulan Bator, etc.) that have colder nightly minima during the winter months. Is it because the statement is sourced? Should a statement that is patently false belong in this article simply because a source can be provided? Can it not be accepted that Environment Canada makes errors? (Many, many, errors, I would add). And really, who cares what city has the coldest daily minima in the winter months; times of the day when most people are sleeping. More important is annual average temperature. With respect to that, Winnipeg is not even the coldest major city in Canada, Edmonton is. I've removed the statement a few times, but certain editors (you know who you are) continue to re-insert it. -- 24.77.41.241 ( talk) 23:05, 26 October 2010 (UTC)
Please explain on the Winnipeg discussion page why you continue to revert my edit which deletes an untrue statement (sourced or not). Please explain why you feel that a statement that is false belongs in the Winnipeg article and provide an argument as to your rationale for believing that it does.
By the way, in the grocery store today I saw a National Enquirer with the headline that a man gave birth to a baby. I suppose I should go ahead and edit the pregnancy article in Wikipedia to reflect that men can get pregnant too; I mean come on, I can provide a source. -- 24.77.41.241 ( talk) 23:05, 26 October 2010 (UTC)

Hi; saw your addition of the "means" to Lytton and Lillooet, caused me to fix a few citations/wordings on Lillooet's page. I'm the one who added the uncited bit about the microclimates varying on different benches, it's very, very true....I had a look at Environment Canada's historical data, and it complicates things that the measuring station has moved over time....currently it's at, SFAIK, the Seton Powerhouse just south of Cayoosh Creek, though the MoF keeps its own weather measure, not sure if that's reported on-line, ditto the school, t he RCMP etc.....and at Riverlands Farm in East Lillooet. The historical locations vary, some were originally at the government agent's office (about where the post office is now).....there's gotta be biogeoclimatic study on the area, somewhere, it's rather famous around there for the rapidly-shifting climate regimes.....but also here to note that historical records, such as for highs and lows and rainfall, were not all from a constant location, but changing over time....in the area, moving by 1/4 mile is a lot, climate-wise....the Powerhouse is a good half mile from downtown, maybe more, and not really representative of town....in the same way that YVR's weather data doesn't apply to downtown Vancouver, or even to South Vancouver/Kerrisdale, though they're nearby.....
