Thanks for uploading Image:AllSaintsSchoolLogo.gif. However, the image may soon be deleted unless we can determine the copyright holder and copyright status. The Wikimedia Foundation is very careful about the images included in Wikipedia because of copyright law (see Wikipedia's Copyright policy).
The copyright holder is usually the creator, the creator's employer, or the last person who was transferred ownership rights. Copyright information on images is signified using copyright templates. The three basic license types on Wikipedia are
open content,
public domain, and
fair use. Find the appropriate template in
Wikipedia:Image copyright tags and place it on the image page like this: {{TemplateName}}
.
Please signify the copyright information on any other images you have uploaded or will upload. Remember that images without this important information can be deleted by an administrator. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me, or ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. 82.83.101.76 07:31, 12 May 2006 (UTC)
I am done editing for now. Feel free to change anything. If you want me to remove things from the template or otherwise simplify it, I'd be happy to do so. I'd also be happy explaining the features so that you could edit it yourself. -- Usgnus 00:03, 19 May 2006 (UTC)
You did great for the most part, except you replace the copyright material with the copyvio tag. Hope this helps. Ardenn 01:54, 19 May 2006 (UTC)
U had your account blocked once for spamming my talk page and stalking me, please don't make that happen again. Cordially SirIsaacBrock 00:32, 20 May 2006 (UTC)
Just a thank-you: I liked it so much, I've gratuitously stolen your about-me box for my talk page as well! :) dewet| ✉ 04:01, 22 May 2006 (UTC)
I noticed your comment over on Talk:Google Web Accelerator and posted a reply to you there, though mostly for the benefit of other GWA users who might be curious about the block. You get this note. :)
There's little that can be done to keep GWA users from being blocked on Wikipedia. Sadly, the way GWA works, it makes it nearly impossible to minimize damage on blocks and autoblocks. If you're interested in more information, I put my own experiences into a section at Wikipedia talk:Autoblock. I assume that by now you've already discovered how to keep GWA autoblocks from affecting your Wikipedia experience.
Thank you for your patience with this issue!

S charette:
My name is Dylan Bradbury, and as you probably know, I am the newly elected President at David and Mary Thomson. I would like to thank you for your help in keeping the David and Mary Thomson C.I. page clean. I have a few worries, some readers have begun to believe that I am crazykid76. I have no affilitation with the user, and I would greatly appreciate if you could make this clear to the users who believed this. It's bad publicity. I had to post this message on the page to get crazykid's attention:
Ok,
Here is the thing.
Crazykid76, you are misleading people to believe that you have some influential say into what goes on in the school. I do not know what is wrong with you, but you really need to stop editing articles. People are beginning to believe that I am editing this article to promote my popularity. This really doesn't bode well with me. I don't know where you were getting your information, but you know WAY too much about me and the rest of the SAC. I do not know what your intentions are either, you seem to have an obsession and it worries me.
As well as impersonating members of the school, you've begun to write threatening messages online. Wikipedia is a GREAT tool, and you should not abuse it. I urge the wikipedia people to block your account, as it seems that all you do is abuse it.
Crazykid76, how about you work on a biography on yourself. You seem pretty proficient in wikipedia's language. Put it to good use.
Again, please don't edit this page again Crazykid76.
However,
S charette, I am not familiar with the wikipedia language, but if there is a way to allow Crazykid to see this, please make it so. I put the message here because I assume this is all he does. I applaud you for putting up with such a vandal, and if there is any info about David and Mary Thomson C.I. you would like to know contact me. Good Luck!
I thank you again for your help! And notify the readers that believe I am Crazykid76, that I am not CrazyKid76. Sorry for the inconvience, and the hassle.

I do not mean to be rude, but there must be some mistake. You see I created my account today, so that I could stop the vandalism of David and Mary Thomson's own webpage. I wrote the letter to CrazyKid76, to stop the vandalism, and I apoligize, I did not now about the discussion page, and I would have originally posted it there if I would have known. I would greatly appreciate. Again, I have created my account today. I feel that I am being attacked for someone else's actions. Crazykid76 is a vandel, I am a believer in this. Ask any of my friends, and they will tell you that I am a law abiding citizen, and a role-model memeber of society. If there is a way to prove this, I will. --Dylan Bradbury 23:35, 28 May 2006 (UTC)
I've taken College of Toronto which was {{ copyvio}}, and created a brand new non-copyvio article at College of Toronto/Temp. So can I now remove the {{ copyvio}} tag and replace it with the article I've written? Or can that really only be done by administrators? The copyvio template seems to indicate it can only be done by an administrator:
An administrator will move your new article into place once the copyright status of the original has been resolved.
Thanks! -- Stephane Charette 06:21, 2 June 2006 (UTC)
Usgnus, what does "double redirect" mean? Here is the edit in question: CSDNE. Thanks! --Stephane Charette 03:30, 5 June 2006 (UTC)
Thanks for uploading Image:Csdgno-logo.gif. Wikipedia gets hundreds of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.
For more information on using images, see the following pages:

Thanks for the recent work on Wikipedia:WikiProject Education in Canada. This was a significant improvement. Wakemp 01:15, 7 June 2006 (UTC)
Within judaism bc you cant write/say G-d's name in vein and also you cant erase it once it is written. It's also a sign of respect.-- Gregorykay 19:08, 9 June 2006 (UTC)
Thanks, the later ones he has put the correct format date, so I'm not worried. Rich Farmbrough 23:37 13 June 2006 (GMT).
Thanks for the heads up, it wasn't me. I really don't know why he would impersonate me. -- Jeff3000 01:51, 14 June 2006 (UTC)
Sorry about that. You added to your comment while I was composing my reply, which led to an edit conflict. A result, I had to remove the first part of my reply. I guess what remained did not sound so good. -- Usgnus 14:10, 15 June 2006 (UTC)
hey S charette...hows it going...anyways...you seemed pretty knowledgeable on the customs and rules of the wikiproject "education in canada"...i was wondering if you could take a look at a dilemna i have...at here... your opinion is greatly valued and appreciated... thanks zeChinaman 01:35, 17 June 2006 (UTC)
hello again...time for me to consult your wisdom once again :P...there is an article, Westdale Seconday School....it's supposed to be about Westdale Secondary School, but the title is spelt wrong...now....i've sent the contributor a PM...as well as leaving a msg on the discussion page explaining the situation...now in this case, should i go ahead and merge+ redirect? your suggestions as always are appreciated :) zeChinaman 21:37, 10 July 2006 (UTC)
again thanks for input :) zeChinaman 23:04, 10 July 2006 (UTC)
srry again lol...as an added note...my first attempt at the Westdale Secondary School article was deleted due to intense copyrightvio...so i have watched my prose carefully since :)...that one archetictural bit must've slipped me...thanks again :) zeChinaman 23:10, 10 July 2006 (UTC)
merci beaucoup for the advice :)

Hi there. I know that both British and US spelling are used in Wikipedia, and that honour can be spelt 'honor' or 'honour' depending on the dialect.
Perhaps surprisingly though, honourary is not a correct spelling. Just to be sure, I checked it in the Oxford English Dictionary and only honorary is mentioned.
Cheers, CmdrObot 19:55, 19 June 2006 (UTC)
Hi there. I was just curious about A. Y. Jackson Secondary School (disambiguation), which was moved by you to this new location. Per convention, the redirect should probably go the other way in this case (see the example for Table on that document). If you don't object, I'll fix this to use the current convention.
Aside: the additional (disambiguation) is used only when there is one subject which overwhelmingly deserves to use the article page. For example, London versus London (disambiguation). In essence, use the simplest title possible. I hope this is useful. Mind matrix 18:00, 20 June 2006 (UTC)
A disambiguation page may be named after the general term ("Term XYZ"), or may have a title like "Term XYZ (disambiguation)".
Thank you for stepping forward and helping with the Project. For a while it was just me, I think. I'm glad we can work on our own sections, etc. I don't want to step on toes, and there's no need for a seperate project for Colleges & Universities. :-) Ardenn 19:46, 20 June 2006 (UTC)
Ugh. I guess it's no worse than a {{ wikify-date}} tag, but it's pretty ugly. -- Usgnus 07:21, 1 July 2006 (UTC)
Please do not revert my talkpage. Feedyourfeet 18:10, 5 July 2006 (UTC)
I do not wish to archive. Could you please back up this comment with a policy "you cannot selectively clear messages from your talk page" Thank you Feedyourfeet 04:42, 6 July 2006 (UTC)
Thank you for your concern, I looked but could not find the policy that says it must be linked to. Could you reply here with it. Thank you. Feedyourfeet 01:15, 8 July 2006 (UTC)
Who are you to tell me I'm not "His Imperial Majesty"?

Hi!
I wanted to invite you to join the new WikiProject Political parties and politicians in Canada. The goal is simple: to create and maintain high quality articles on Wikipedia related to Canadian politicians and Canadian political parties. Come on over and check us out at WP:PPAP. Ardenn 16:37, 10 July 2006 (UTC)
Thanks for assuming good faith on my logo change. I tagged the one I uploaded for speedy deletion. -- Usgnus 21:43, 12 July 2006 (UTC)
Thanks for notifying me about that question. It's easy to overlook it when you're busy with other things. :) -→ Buchanan-Hermit ™/ ?! 22:52, 12 July 2006 (UTC)
Doh. I'll go further and convert the navbox to our standard. -- Usgnus 18:44, 18 July 2006 (UTC)
I don't know him at all, but I'll keep an eye out for him. Adam Bishop 23:59, 18 July 2006 (UTC)
Yeah, I thought about doing the same thing but it looks like it'd get deleted quickly if I did... :)
And thanks for notifying me about the "photos without articles" thing. I can't believe I missed that. -→ Buchanan-Hermit ™/ ?! 17:03, 19 July 2006 (UTC)
I can get most Toronto photos (but not GTA) if you're looking for them in general, feel free to drop me a line. I'll look into picking up the two you asked about on the Wikiproject Toronto. WilyD 18:20, 19 July 2006 (UTC)
Of course it interests me! I thought I was already in it... and I didn't know I wasn't the only teenager here who cares about wiki.. :) Thanks. -- Deenoe 21:22, 19 July 2006 (UTC)
I recently was reading the Miscellany for Deletion page on Wikipedia:Schools/Arguments, and noted that you accused AMIB of an out-of-process deletion and bad faith in nominating that page itself for deletion. I would first direct you to your accusations of people in favor of deletions pointing to the delete section of it, and bring to your attention Silensor's comment at this AFD, in which Silensor displays exactly the conduct that AMIB explained in his nomination. Secondly, I noted that your comment is vastly accusatory of AMIB's actions in undertaking his duties, and would like to remind you of Wikipedia's Assume Good Faith policy, which you cite right at the top of your talk page. Incivility is no way to improve the quality of the project, and accusing other editors without providing evidence is something that I personally strongly discourage. -- Kuzaar- T- C- 18:00, 31 July 2006 (UTC)
as a member of WP:EiC I would see our activities severely restricted on Wikipedia if this proposal is accepted.
What activities would those be? This worries me, either that there's been a miscommunication or that this entire proposal is misguided.
Ideally, I want to require at the least...
“ | Foo Elementary School is a school in Foo, Bar. Jimbo Wales describes how it formed his outlook on life in the book Pod of Wales. | ” |
or
“ | Foo High School is a school in Foo, Bar. It was involved in a local scandal when nearly half of its classes were cancelled and condensed when the schol district ran out of money, due to embezzlement. [8] | ” |
or something along those lines; just some sort of seed to turn the article into something other than a demographic stub.
It explicitly discourages:
“ | Foo Middle School is a school in Foo, Bar. It has 3125 students and classes in English, Math, and Basketweaving. | ” |
if there's no kernal to grow into a complete article. That doesn't give any more material to expand the article into an encyclopedic article than the title and Whatlinkshere does.
I have two separate questions for you:
Do you feel that this proposal does a bad job of implementing the desire I stated above? - A Man In Bl♟ck ( conspire | past ops) 08:24, 2 August 2006 (UTC)
and... Do you feel that this proposal is essentially misguided? If so, why? - A Man In Bl♟ck ( conspire | past ops)
You reverted my edit on that page for some reason....I've undone your edit so, if you have a problem with mine let me know on my talk page. Thanks

Thanks for telling me :). I blocked the new account. -- Where 22:44, 2 August 2006 (UTC)
Yeah in that case the account can be blocked indefinitely. Whenever something like this happens you might want to take it to Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents. Adam Bishop 23:02, 2 August 2006 (UTC)
Thanks for the information on my talk page. I'll try to use the template and add the associated school board for John Rennie High School. I haven't had a look at the discussion concerning the "revamping"/deletion yes but I will take your advice and start working on the school boards until there is some resolution regarding the individual schools. Meanwhile I have taken my first picture and updated the site for MSVU. Unfortunately I didn't choose a good "destination filename" and I can't seem to change it, any suggestions? I plan to take some more pictures of local schools as I have time and update the relevant pages/categories. Misterjerk2 13:10, 3 August 2006 (UTC)
It's not very accurate, but give you a general idea of the stubs in a category: http://tools.wikimedia.de/~interiot/cgi-bin/queries/stub_sense
FYI, procedure is to wait a week after proposing a new stub. And it should be {{ Canada-bridge-struct-stub}}. -- Usgnus 07:21, 21 August 2006 (UTC)
No problem...I definitely got most of them, but I'm not 100% sure that I got them all, and I haven't actually edited List of universities in Quebec at all. I also posted to dude's talk page to advise him both about the actual naming convention and the fact that he can't move articles by cutting and pasting. This whole thing was really absurd, wasn't it? Did he actually think this wasn't the kind of thing he should have raised for discussion first? Bearcat 09:05, 22 August 2006 (UTC)
Regarding your comment at User talk:Bearcat: Actually, no. A few Canadians, mostly French-Canadians on an obscure discussion page they created is not Wikipedia policy or proper procedure. However, I will present this in the prescribed manner so that one way or the other they is a factual policy reference in existence. And, just for the record, Université de Montréal gets 18.2 million Google hits but the "University of Montreal" gets 56.7 million hits. - Lionel GM 20:56, 23 August 2006 (UTC)
I really dont get it... Cause I'm not really good in English. If you want to explain it to me in French (your name seems french to me) so I sent you my Email on Wiki Mail :) -- Deenoe 18:28, 27 August 2006 (UTC)
Hey Stéphane,
the CSDCSO article you've created a while back is now seeing a bit of a content/revert war over (as I understand it) fairness or lack thereof of its funding. Apparently tempers are flaring a bit between two new users. I'll try to step in and mediate this a bit, but if you have a bit of time, could you get involved as well? Thanks. -- Qviri (talk) 15:35, 14 September 2006 (UTC)
Salut Stéphane, l'article est actuellement vandalisé en permanence par un activiste qui semble plus proche des groupuscules comme "Alliance Preservation of English".
Merci -
Miquelon
I don't fully understand what it is that you, GST2006 and Miquelon are arguing about, so I cannot devote the time needed for an ArbCom case. You seem a worthy Wikipedian: would you mind filing it? Dev920 19:46, 26 September 2006 (UTC)
You have a history of being banned for stalking. You earlier apoligized for making personal attacks and now are harrasing me with graffiti and slandar on my talk page. You seem to be interested in Education Articles and Schooll Boards. I hope you are not a representative of Public Education since this would show very little integrity for a public servant.-- GST2006 05:44, 30 September 2006 (UTC)
Dear Stéphane
I have prepared a request for check user on Brampton 2006 ( talk + · tag · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log · CA · CheckUser( log) · investigate · cuwiki), whom I strongly suspect is a sockpuppet of WikiWoo (whom I believe you dealt with in his incarnation as GST2006), at Wikipedia:Requests for checkuser/Case/WikiWoo. Since you filed the last RFCU on a WW sockpuppet, I thought I would give you a heads-up. Cheers, JChap2007 07:20, 30 October 2006 (UTC)
Thanks for restoring the commons link on the Okanagan Lake article. I must not have been paying close attention when I was cleaning up linkspam that day. Cheers! -- AbsolutDan (talk) 15:40, 15 November 2006 (UTC)

SuggestBot predicts that you will enjoy editing some of these articles. Have fun!
SuggestBot picks articles in a number of ways based on other articles you've edited, including straight text similarity, following wikilinks, and matching your editing patterns against those of other Wikipedians. It tries to recommend only articles that other Wikipedians have marked as needing work. Your contributions make Wikipedia better -- thanks for helping.
If you have feedback on how to make SuggestBot better, please tell me on SuggestBot's talk page. Thanks from ForteTuba, SuggestBot's caretaker.
P.S. You received these suggestions because your name was listed on the SuggestBot request page. If this was in error, sorry about the confusion. -- SuggestBot 04:20, 21 November 2006 (UTC)

Hi, i m writing this concerning the authenticity of this article. ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A._Y._Jackson_Secondary_School_%28Toronto%29)
I highly doubt the statement "95% of the school's population is Chinese." As being a graduate from this school, I believe this statement is false. To whom posted this information, could you please ask him/her to list a reference to this? or else this is considered vandalism, isnt it? People have been posting false information for the past, and this is dishonoring my school's reputation so please limit the editting of this article. Thank you very much.
Please note that I have responded to your comments here. -- 216.13.78.165 03:01, 14 December 2006 (UTC)
Popups and any reverting that does not give an explanation are only to be used for vandalism, reverts of which do not require an explanation. — Centrx→ talk • 01:46, 19 December 2006 (UTC)
Edit summaries are for explaining a change. Popups, reverting, rollback, etc. do not have explanatory edit summaries, and are for situations where an edit summary is not necessary, such as vandalism, spam, etc. Changes in content or disputes over content warrant a specific edit summary. — Centrx→ talk • 02:14, 19 December 2006 (UTC)

Within judaism bc you cant write/say G-d's name in vein and also you cant erase it once it is written. It's also a sign of respect.-- Gregorykay 19:08, 9 June 2006 (UTC)
Thanks, the later ones he has put the correct format date, so I'm not worried. Rich Farmbrough 23:37 13 June 2006 (GMT).
Thanks for the heads up, it wasn't me. I really don't know why he would impersonate me. -- Jeff3000 01:51, 14 June 2006 (UTC)
Sorry about that. You added to your comment while I was composing my reply, which led to an edit conflict. A result, I had to remove the first part of my reply. I guess what remained did not sound so good. -- Usgnus 14:10, 15 June 2006 (UTC)

Hi there. I know that both British and US spelling are used in Wikipedia, and that honour can be spelt 'honor' or 'honour' depending on the dialect.
Perhaps surprisingly though, honourary is not a correct spelling. Just to be sure, I checked it in the Oxford English Dictionary and only honorary is mentioned.
Cheers, CmdrObot 19:55, 19 June 2006 (UTC)
Hi there. I was just curious about A. Y. Jackson Secondary School (disambiguation), which was moved by you to this new location. Per convention, the redirect should probably go the other way in this case (see the example for Table on that document). If you don't object, I'll fix this to use the current convention.
Aside: the additional (disambiguation) is used only when there is one subject which overwhelmingly deserves to use the article page. For example, London versus London (disambiguation). In essence, use the simplest title possible. I hope this is useful. Mind matrix 18:00, 20 June 2006 (UTC)
A disambiguation page may be named after the general term ("Term XYZ"), or may have a title like "Term XYZ (disambiguation)".
Thank you for stepping forward and helping with the Project. For a while it was just me, I think. I'm glad we can work on our own sections, etc. I don't want to step on toes, and there's no need for a seperate project for Colleges & Universities. :-) Ardenn 19:46, 20 June 2006 (UTC)
Ugh. I guess it's no worse than a {{ wikify-date}} tag, but it's pretty ugly. -- Usgnus 07:21, 1 July 2006 (UTC)

Thank you for your concern, I looked but could not find the policy that says it must be linked to. Could you reply here with it. Thank you. Feedyourfeet 01:15, 8 July 2006 (UTC)

Hi!
I wanted to invite you to join the new WikiProject Political parties and politicians in Canada. The goal is simple: to create and maintain high quality articles on Wikipedia related to Canadian politicians and Canadian political parties. Come on over and check us out at WP:PPAP. Ardenn 16:37, 10 July 2006 (UTC)
Thanks for assuming good faith on my logo change. I tagged the one I uploaded for speedy deletion. -- Usgnus 21:43, 12 July 2006 (UTC)
Thanks for notifying me about that question. It's easy to overlook it when you're busy with other things. :) -→ Buchanan-Hermit ™/ ?! 22:52, 12 July 2006 (UTC)
Doh. I'll go further and convert the navbox to our standard. -- Usgnus 18:44, 18 July 2006 (UTC)
I don't know him at all, but I'll keep an eye out for him. Adam Bishop 23:59, 18 July 2006 (UTC)
Yeah, I thought about doing the same thing but it looks like it'd get deleted quickly if I did... :)
And thanks for notifying me about the "photos without articles" thing. I can't believe I missed that. -→ Buchanan-Hermit ™/ ?! 17:03, 19 July 2006 (UTC)
I can get most Toronto photos (but not GTA) if you're looking for them in general, feel free to drop me a line. I'll look into picking up the two you asked about on the Wikiproject Toronto. WilyD 18:20, 19 July 2006 (UTC)
Of course it interests me! I thought I was already in it... and I didn't know I wasn't the only teenager here who cares about wiki.. :) Thanks. -- Deenoe 21:22, 19 July 2006 (UTC)
I recently was reading the Miscellany for Deletion page on Wikipedia:Schools/Arguments, and noted that you accused AMIB of an out-of-process deletion and bad faith in nominating that page itself for deletion. I would first direct you to your accusations of people in favor of deletions pointing to the delete section of it, and bring to your attention Silensor's comment at this AFD, in which Silensor displays exactly the conduct that AMIB explained in his nomination. Secondly, I noted that your comment is vastly accusatory of AMIB's actions in undertaking his duties, and would like to remind you of Wikipedia's Assume Good Faith policy, which you cite right at the top of your talk page. Incivility is no way to improve the quality of the project, and accusing other editors without providing evidence is something that I personally strongly discourage. -- Kuzaar- T- C- 18:00, 31 July 2006 (UTC)
as a member of WP:EiC I would see our activities severely restricted on Wikipedia if this proposal is accepted.
What activities would those be? This worries me, either that there's been a miscommunication or that this entire proposal is misguided.
Ideally, I want to require at the least...
“ | Foo Elementary School is a school in Foo, Bar. Jimbo Wales describes how it formed his outlook on life in the book Pod of Wales. | ” |
or
“ | Foo High School is a school in Foo, Bar. It was involved in a local scandal when nearly half of its classes were cancelled and condensed when the schol district ran out of money, due to embezzlement. [8] | ” |
or something along those lines; just some sort of seed to turn the article into something other than a demographic stub.
It explicitly discourages:
“ | Foo Middle School is a school in Foo, Bar. It has 3125 students and classes in English, Math, and Basketweaving. | ” |
if there's no kernal to grow into a complete article. That doesn't give any more material to expand the article into an encyclopedic article than the title and Whatlinkshere does.
I have two separate questions for you:
Do you feel that this proposal does a bad job of implementing the desire I stated above? - A Man In Bl♟ck ( conspire | past ops) 08:24, 2 August 2006 (UTC)
and... Do you feel that this proposal is essentially misguided? If so, why? - A Man In Bl♟ck ( conspire | past ops)
You reverted my edit on that page for some reason....I've undone your edit so, if you have a problem with mine let me know on my talk page. Thanks

Thanks for telling me :). I blocked the new account. -- Where 22:44, 2 August 2006 (UTC)
Yeah in that case the account can be blocked indefinitely. Whenever something like this happens you might want to take it to Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents. Adam Bishop 23:02, 2 August 2006 (UTC)
Thanks for the information on my talk page. I'll try to use the template and add the associated school board for John Rennie High School. I haven't had a look at the discussion concerning the "revamping"/deletion yes but I will take your advice and start working on the school boards until there is some resolution regarding the individual schools. Meanwhile I have taken my first picture and updated the site for MSVU. Unfortunately I didn't choose a good "destination filename" and I can't seem to change it, any suggestions? I plan to take some more pictures of local schools as I have time and update the relevant pages/categories. Misterjerk2 13:10, 3 August 2006 (UTC)
It's not very accurate, but give you a general idea of the stubs in a category: http://tools.wikimedia.de/~interiot/cgi-bin/queries/stub_sense
FYI, procedure is to wait a week after proposing a new stub. And it should be {{ Canada-bridge-struct-stub}}. -- Usgnus 07:21, 21 August 2006 (UTC)
No problem...I definitely got most of them, but I'm not 100% sure that I got them all, and I haven't actually edited List of universities in Quebec at all. I also posted to dude's talk page to advise him both about the actual naming convention and the fact that he can't move articles by cutting and pasting. This whole thing was really absurd, wasn't it? Did he actually think this wasn't the kind of thing he should have raised for discussion first? Bearcat 09:05, 22 August 2006 (UTC)
Regarding your comment at User talk:Bearcat: Actually, no. A few Canadians, mostly French-Canadians on an obscure discussion page they created is not Wikipedia policy or proper procedure. However, I will present this in the prescribed manner so that one way or the other they is a factual policy reference in existence. And, just for the record, Université de Montréal gets 18.2 million Google hits but the "University of Montreal" gets 56.7 million hits. - Lionel GM 20:56, 23 August 2006 (UTC)
I really dont get it... Cause I'm not really good in English. If you want to explain it to me in French (your name seems french to me) so I sent you my Email on Wiki Mail :) -- Deenoe 18:28, 27 August 2006 (UTC)
Hey Stéphane,
the CSDCSO article you've created a while back is now seeing a bit of a content/revert war over (as I understand it) fairness or lack thereof of its funding. Apparently tempers are flaring a bit between two new users. I'll try to step in and mediate this a bit, but if you have a bit of time, could you get involved as well? Thanks. -- Qviri (talk) 15:35, 14 September 2006 (UTC)
Salut Stéphane, l'article est actuellement vandalisé en permanence par un activiste qui semble plus proche des groupuscules comme "Alliance Preservation of English".
Merci -
Miquelon
I don't fully understand what it is that you, GST2006 and Miquelon are arguing about, so I cannot devote the time needed for an ArbCom case. You seem a worthy Wikipedian: would you mind filing it? Dev920 19:46, 26 September 2006 (UTC)
You have a history of being banned for stalking. You earlier apoligized for making personal attacks and now are harrasing me with graffiti and slandar on my talk page. You seem to be interested in Education Articles and Schooll Boards. I hope you are not a representative of Public Education since this would show very little integrity for a public servant.-- GST2006 05:44, 30 September 2006 (UTC)
Dear Stéphane
I have prepared a request for check user on Brampton 2006 ( talk + · tag · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log · CA · CheckUser( log) · investigate · cuwiki), whom I strongly suspect is a sockpuppet of WikiWoo (whom I believe you dealt with in his incarnation as GST2006), at Wikipedia:Requests for checkuser/Case/WikiWoo. Since you filed the last RFCU on a WW sockpuppet, I thought I would give you a heads-up. Cheers, JChap2007 07:20, 30 October 2006 (UTC)
Thanks for restoring the commons link on the Okanagan Lake article. I must not have been paying close attention when I was cleaning up linkspam that day. Cheers! -- AbsolutDan (talk) 15:40, 15 November 2006 (UTC)

Hi, i m writing this concerning the authenticity of this article. ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A._Y._Jackson_Secondary_School_%28Toronto%29)
I highly doubt the statement "95% of the school's population is Chinese." As being a graduate from this school, I believe this statement is false. To whom posted this information, could you please ask him/her to list a reference to this? or else this is considered vandalism, isnt it? People have been posting false information for the past, and this is dishonoring my school's reputation so please limit the editting of this article. Thank you very much.
Please note that I have responded to your comments here. -- 216.13.78.165 03:01, 14 December 2006 (UTC)
Popups and any reverting that does not give an explanation are only to be used for vandalism, reverts of which do not require an explanation. — Centrx→ talk • 01:46, 19 December 2006 (UTC)
Edit summaries are for explaining a change. Popups, reverting, rollback, etc. do not have explanatory edit summaries, and are for situations where an edit summary is not necessary, such as vandalism, spam, etc. Changes in content or disputes over content warrant a specific edit summary. — Centrx→ talk • 02:14, 19 December 2006 (UTC)
