Hi there. I thought I had already done this, but apparently not. I wanted to thank you for your expansion of Made in Canada, and particularly for the addition of the history section. It's much appreciated! Mind matrix 19:30, 9 January 2021 (UTC)

For tariff-exemption purposes, the USMCA (USMCA, formerly NAFTA) considers a good to qualify as Canadian in origin if it: (a) is wholly made in Canada, or (b) is made in Canada with some non-Canadian parts satisfying product-specific rules, or (c) is made in Canada with parts from the United States or Mexico (which are themselves tariff-exempt).
USMCA changed the rules-of-origin. It raised the qualifying de minimis requirement from 7% to 10% of content originating from outside the pact countries. url= https://www.mccarthy.ca/en/insights/blogs/terms-trade/usmca-now-force-important-changes-nafta

Hello. If you find some time, could you take a look at this section (especially the first two sentences of the third paragraph), please?

Thank you for the thoughtful third opinion you gave yesterday in List of American liberals. I feel we've almost reached an agreement on the criteria of inclusion, but will still disagree on wether Bernie Sanders satisfies them or not. In that case, would you like to be called back to weigh in on the issue, or should we post another 3O request? Mottezen ( talk) 16:28, 28 January 2021 (UTC)
On 1 February 2021, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Made in Canada, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that a journalist lived for a year using only goods made in Canada? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Made in Canada. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page ( here's how, Made in Canada), and if they received a combined total of at least 416.7 views per hour (ie, 5,000 views in 12 hours or 10,000 in 24), the hook may be added to the statistics page. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

Hi. Since you are a very experienced Wikipedia user, could you have a look at the article I co-created, please? I mean especially checking grammar, wording, spelling, and punctuation. It has already been reviewed, but perhaps a fresh pair of eyes might still be useful. You copyeditors are doing a really good job, I greatly appreciate it. If you find some time, I will be very grateful. Thank you. -- Pinoczet ( talk) 21:00, 11 February 2021 (UTC)

Hello, Reidgreg. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, " 11th Canadian Comedy Awards".
In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia
mainspace, the draft has been nominated for deletion. If you plan on working on it further, or editing it to address the issues raised if it was declined, simply and remove the {{db-afc}}
, {{db-draft}}
, or {{db-g13}}
code.
If your submission has already been deleted by the time you get there, and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion by following the instructions at this link. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.

@ Miniapolis: Thanks! That too-long article really pushed me over, back to a Caretaker's Star after a two-drive absence. BTW, I believe we used to only give the 10k star on drives for the rare occurrence of an editor completing a 10k copy edit without placing on the long-article leaderboard. Otherwise you're giving them a barnstar and a leaderboard award for the same thing. – Reidgreg ( talk) 23:03, 5 April 2021 (UTC)
Just a quick note for you about citation templates to save you a bit of work in the future, pursuant to your expansion of Hey Lady! — I'll admit that the template documentation doesn't do a very good job of making this clear, because you'll find out only by reading the specific description of access-date= well after having passed a dozen usage examples which were already contradicting what the description actually says, but access-date= is actually meant to be used only when the source doesn't have any publication date locatable at all, and it actually isn't necessary to add access-date= to any citation that already has a date in the date= field. In other words, it's only necessary to add "access-date=today" to a citation template if you're unable to find the actual publication date of the source material at all, and not necessary for a citation template to have both date= and access-date= filled out — a citation template needs one field or the other, not both. But thanks for the expansion job nonetheless — I still wish I had more people actually helping me with Canadian Screen Awards stuff, so that I could spend more time writing genuinely long, detailed articles because I didn't have to worry about 3,598 new redlinks all at once, but I've long resigned myself to the fact that I'm possibly the person on earth who isn't directly employed in Canadian media yet actually still gives a flying fig about them. Bearcat ( talk) 13:40, 7 April 2021 (UTC)
|date=
and |access-date=
are generally not both to be used. (It specifically states that access-date is Not required for linked documents that do not change.) I have generally tried to fill every citation parameter that I can. Like Jonesey, I felt that access-date helped convey the date of verification of the statement and perhaps with the technicalities of semi-automatic archiving (and which snapshot to use). I suppose that access-date might also help editors back-trace when material was added to a heavily-edited article. I know that when you link with
|id=
to an archival source like ProQuest or Newspapers.com that the access-date parameter is ignored (or maybe it gives an error in preview). However, I have seen some published newspaper sources in which the online version is modified after the original publication date. (Usually with a note like, A previous version of this article stated [x]. This has been corrected to [y].) So I think access-date could be useful there. It's an exception to the rule but I'd rather be safe than sorry. Hopefully it doesn't make the References section look too cluttered. – Reidgreg ( talk) 17:57, 7 April 2021 (UTC)

CC-BY-SA declaration; the following was copied from a talk page by Reidgreg (originally posted 7 May 2021, diff).
Hello! BattyBot recently made this edit, rearranging talk page banners. I have one note: {{ WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors}} represents a review process and belongs with the article history banners rather than with the WikiProject banners. I know the name makes this confusing; I usually use the alias {{ GOCE}}) for the banner. Alternatively, if an article has a lot of history, the data from the GOCE banner can be entered into {{ Article history}}, which accepts GOCE in its parameters.
Oh, I was once GOCE lead coordinator but am not presently on that team. I can probably answer any questions but if you need to talk with the present leadership, their forum is at WT:GOCE/COORD. Thanks for your attention on this, and good work with the bot! – Reidgreg ( talk) 11:40, 7 May 2021 (UTC)

Good morning:
Just a quick note to let you know I finished a copy edit on " Canadian Idiot". I wanted to make sure it was ready for July 1st.
One suggestion: why not add Weird Al's portrait to the article? It would fit on the left side of the Composition section without disrupting the layout.
Hope all is well with you.

Hi Reidgreg,
Thanks for your help on Parliament Hill's GAN and DYK.
The DYK passed and is on WP:DYKNA. Given that this should be posted around Canada Day, should I make a new section under Special occasion holding area for July 2nd to put it in, or should I put it under either 1st or 3rd July. I don't really want to put it on 3 July, as Yoninah hooks will be placed there, but I would greatly appreciate your thoughts on this.

@ Fishhead2100: I was thinking I ought to finally publish the rest of those drafts on the Canadian Comedy Awards, year by year (linked here). After reviewing the DYK rules, I'm convinced that they won't collectively qualify (after discounting the overlap in the prose, they aren't all long enough, and some are high on primary sources). If you'd like to do a DYK for some of the better ones and can see the nomination(s) through, I've got plenty of DYK credits that you can use. – Reidgreg ( talk) 20:13, 9 July 2021 (UTC)

For tariff-exemption purposes, the USMCA (USMCA, formerly NAFTA) considers a good to qualify as Canadian in origin if it: (a) is wholly made in Canada, or (b) is made in Canada with some non-Canadian parts satisfying product-specific rules, or (c) is made in Canada with parts from the United States or Mexico (which are themselves tariff-exempt).
USMCA changed the rules-of-origin. It raised the qualifying de minimis requirement from 7% to 10% of content originating from outside the pact countries. url= https://www.mccarthy.ca/en/insights/blogs/terms-trade/usmca-now-force-important-changes-nafta

@ Miniapolis: Thanks! That too-long article really pushed me over, back to a Caretaker's Star after a two-drive absence. BTW, I believe we used to only give the 10k star on drives for the rare occurrence of an editor completing a 10k copy edit without placing on the long-article leaderboard.

Just a quick note for you about citation templates to save you a bit of work in the future, pursuant to your expansion of Hey Lady! — I'll admit that the template documentation doesn't do a very good job of making this clear, because you'll find out only by reading the specific description of access-date= well after having passed a dozen usage examples which were already contradicting what the description actually says, but access-date= is actually meant to be used only when the source doesn't have any publication date locatable at all, and it actually isn't necessary to add access-date= to any citation that already has a date in the date= field. In other words, it's only necessary to add "access-date=today" to a citation template if you're unable to find the actual publication date of the source material at all, and not necessary for a citation template to have both date= and access-date= filled out — a citation template needs one field or the other, not both. But thanks for the expansion job nonetheless — I still wish I had more people actually helping me with Canadian Screen Awards stuff, so that I could spend more time writing genuinely long, detailed articles because I didn't have to worry about 3,598 new redlinks all at once, but I've long resigned myself to the fact that I'm possibly the person on earth who isn't directly employed in Canadian media yet actually still gives a flying fig about them. Bearcat ( talk) 13:40, 7 April 2021 (UTC)
|date=
and |access-date=
are generally not both to be used. (It specifically states that access-date is Not required for linked documents that do not change.) I have generally tried to fill every citation parameter that I can. Like Jonesey, I felt that access-date helped convey the date of verification of the statement and perhaps with the technicalities of semi-automatic archiving (and which snapshot to use). I suppose that access-date might also help editors back-trace when material was added to a heavily-edited article. I know that when you link with
|id=
to an archival source like ProQuest or Newspapers.com that the access-date parameter is ignored (or maybe it gives an error in preview). However, I have seen some published newspaper sources in which the online version is modified after the original publication date. (Usually with a note like, A previous version of this article stated [x]. This has been corrected to [y].) So I think access-date could be useful there. It's an exception to the rule but I'd rather be safe than sorry. Hopefully it doesn't make the References section look too cluttered. – Reidgreg ( talk) 17:57, 7 April 2021 (UTC)

Hello! BattyBot recently made this edit, rearranging talk page banners. I have one note: {{ WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors}} represents a review process and belongs with the article history banners rather than with the WikiProject banners. I know the name makes this confusing; I usually use the alias {{ GOCE}}) for the banner. Alternatively, if an article has a lot of history, the data from the GOCE banner can be entered into {{ Article history}}, which accepts GOCE in its parameters.
Oh, I was once GOCE lead coordinator but am not presently on that team. I can probably answer any questions but if you need to talk with the present leadership, their forum is at WT:GOCE/COORD. Thanks for your attention on this, and good work with the bot! – Reidgreg ( talk) 11:40, 7 May 2021 (UTC)

Good morning:
Just a quick note to let you know I finished a copy edit on " Canadian Idiot". I wanted to make sure it was ready for July 1st.
One suggestion: why not add Weird Al's portrait to the article? It would fit on the left side of the Composition section without disrupting the layout.
Hope all is well with you.

Hi Reidgreg,
Thanks for your help on Parliament Hill's GAN and DYK.
The DYK passed and is on WP:DYKNA. Given that this should be posted around Canada Day, should I make a new section under Special occasion holding area for July 2nd to put it in, or should I put it under either 1st or 3rd July.

@ Fishhead2100: I was thinking I ought to finally publish the rest of those drafts on the Canadian Comedy Awards, year by year (linked here). After reviewing the DYK rules, I'm convinced that they won't collectively qualify (after discounting the overlap in the prose, they aren't all long enough, and some are high on primary sources). If you'd like to do a DYK for some of the better ones and can see the nomination(s) through, I've got plenty of DYK credits that you can use. – Reidgreg ( talk) 20:13, 9 July 2021 (UTC)
