Hi, Shawn. It's been a long time since our paths last crossed, and I sincerely wish it were under different circumstances. As an aside in the "General discussion" section of the pending RfA, you asked why my comment on OldEnglish's user talk page was not impermissible canvassing. Simple: OldEnglish is the primary nominator of the candidate and has already expressed his support of the candidate. As far as I am aware, there is no violation of WP:CANVASS when an RfA supporter and the RfA nominator discuss the status of the RfA on the nominator's talk page. Are you aware of another guideline that might apply? I think we ought to be focusing on some of the less-than-honorable conduct of at least one of the chief oppose voters, who seems to have trouble understanding both WP:CONSENSUS and WP:CANVASS, and how he biased the talk page discussion for which he is now attempting to hold the RfA candidate responsible for purported ignorance of policies and guidelines.

I did a little bit of digging into the Academy's "special award" press releases for the past few years, and while you're right that the Canada Award hasn't been presented since Screenies #1, something called the "Diversity Award" starts being presented as of #2. So while I haven't yet found a source which officially says this outright, it looks as if the Canada Award was simply renamed rather than being discontinued.

I finally did some work on an article about one of my favourite Canadian films. I had the honour of hosting Blake James a few years back at a showing of his film at the local air museum.

Got it fixed. {{ ill}} actually has extra parameters to accommodate a situation like that, which just aren't as familiar because we don't have to use them very often — but the trick, if you're using that template where the English link will have to be disambiguated away from a different topic that already exists, is to go dab-title pipe French title pipe display text. I provisionally went with "animator" as the English dab since that's the list he's on, because I'm not that personally familiar with him to know whether a different one would be better, but it can still be changed if need be. Bearcat ( talk) 16:36, 20 January 2016 (UTC)
Well, of course notability does still depend on whether the article can be properly sourced or not. I wouldn't generally go ahead with an article if the only source I could find for anything at all about the film was its presence in a list of the award nominees, but as long as there are enough sources to say something substantive about a film I don't believe that a Genie/CSA nomination should count for less in the notability sweepstakes than an Oscar or BAFTA nomination does. I am a lot less confident about the craft staff (film editors, costume designers, cinematographers, sound engineers, etc.) being sourceable for much of anything beyond "award-nominated, the end" — even at the Oscar level, a lot of the articles that do exist about those people aren't much better than "award-nominated, the end" either — but as a rule the films are generally able to get over WP:GNG if we look carefully enough.

Hi there, I've done some work on this film article and after screening the film numerous times, I've found some problems with the information that was originally in the article.

If he doesn't want to admit his affiliation there is not much we can do. But many information presented in his articles are misleading or non-relevant. E.g. Djuradj Vujcic is a member of the Canadian Association of Journalists. Voting member or non-voting (anybody can apply)? He is a member of the Royal Canadian Legion, the organization that is open to the general public. How is that relevant? His father Prvoslav Vujcic published 12 books in last 3 years, the name of the publisher is "UBC Canada Press". Those books were not published by the well-established UBC Press (University of British Columbia Press). It's probably an acronym for Urban Book Circle. Would be interesting to see if any of those books have ISBN number and if "UBC Canada Press" is registered publisher here in Canada. They are probably just PDF files published over the Internet.

Since the AFD discussion on Katie Nelson closed before I could answer (or even saw) your question, I just wanted to clarify for you. It's not that student newspapers are considered unreliable sources — it's that they're not notability-conferring sources. They can be used for some supplementary confirmation of facts after notability has already been covered off by enough better sourcing to satisfy WP:GNG, but they can't bring GNG in and of themselves because of their limited circulation and narrow intended audience. And the same goes for alt-weeklies like Now or The Georgia Straight as well: they're perfectly fine for verification of facts in an article that's already solidly sourced otherwise, but they can't help to carry whether the person passes GNG or not. A source can be perfectly reliable for verification of facts, but not useful toward establishing whether the person has the level of media coverage necessary to get a Wikipedia article — some types of sources can serve both purposes simultaneously, but others (IMDb and AllMusic are other examples) can only do the verification piece while not helping the basic notability issue at all. Frex, if an article has a solid number of citations to a broad range of media sources and notability has already been properly established as a result, then it's okay if a few citations to The Georgia Straight or the McGill Daily are present in the mix — but if the topic's basic notability is in question, they're not sources that can help boost it. Bearcat ( talk) 01:43, 21 February 2016 (UTC)
Please check Prvoslav Vujcic, an article created by Tempo21. The same person created deleted article about Urban Book Circle and Djuradj Vujcic (a son of Prvoslav Vujcic). For me, it's hard to believe that somebody can publish 12 books in 2 years, by the same publisher - the ( UBC Press). Also, Prvoslav Vujcic can't be found in their online catalogue. Many references are in Serbian, from Serbian press. For example: "Vujcic is a member of... the US-based International Association of Writers. In 2007, the International Association of Writers named him a Poetry Ambassador of the United States." The references are two texts from Serbian press. I couldn't find the International Association of Writers on the Internet. -- N Jordan ( talk) 07:20, 21 February 2016 (UTC)

Sorry to hear about Colin Low's passing. I have become very interested in the NFB filmmakers and know a few personally including Aaron Kim Johnston who hired Russell Crowe for his first North American feature film debut (shot, in all places, in Brandon, Manitoba).

Re: Hi Bill. I want to begin by reiterating how impressed I am with your work in Canadian film, especially, these days, Canadian World War II propaganda films. But I'll be remiss if I didn't share a concern that I have: that too many of these short WWII newsreel series films might be challenged at some point as individually non-notable, per WP:NFILM. I say this because I've noticed of late that aside from the detailed synopses that you provide on each film, most or all of the rest of the content seems given over to repeating text that has appeared in multiple articles on other series titles: the distribution for the series as a whole, the ways that these were compilation documentaries, Lorne Greene as the "voice of doom," etc. You've put so much time and effort into these articles and I'd hate to see them end up AfD. I trust that you've mined as much from your references as possible in support of the individual notability of the films, but I thought I'd flag this. Shawn in Montreal ( talk) 16:14, 27 March 2016 (UTC)
In re-screening my copy of this film, I noticed that large sections of Quebec – Path of Conquest were set in Montreal during the Second World War. I just added the following: One of the other significant contributions from Quebec are the weapons of war produced by the province's industry, mainly concentrated in Montreal where munitions factories and aircraft manufacturing plants were built and were running at full capacity. From the airfields along the eastern seaboard come the bombers that are built in North America, as they are ferried across the Atlantic Ocean. The seaports that also are found in this region provide not only the warships but also the merchant shipping from countless nations setting out in convoys to supply Great Britain and other Allies across the Atlantic. Besides newsreel material, original footage was also shot at Montreal's docks and factories, notably the Montreal factories where munitions and aircraft factories were built. Ship and rail yards were also shown. Workers at companies such as Canadian Vickers and Noorduyn built NA-64 Harvard trainers and Consolidated PBY Canso flying boats. The Canadian Pacific Railway’s Angus Shops turned out a range of weapons, including Valentine tanks, while the Montreal Locomotive Works built Ram and Grizzly tanks, and the Sexton self-propelled gun.

Thank you very much, I was asking to lock the article and you came to protect the guy who was cherry picking. Now, he changed his IP address and he is literally continuing to destroy the article. The article is related to the Kurdish women, but more than 90% of the content is related to Iraqi Kurdish women, which compose only ~15%-25% of Kurdish population. Also, almost all Mr. cherry picker's sources are from Mojab publications. He is trying to other sources which are referring to Mojab sources, so we can't realize that they are actually from 15-20 years Mojab sources, which are mainly written about the Iraqi Kurds in the 90's.

You made reference to the Strafford Train Station being a structure at the Centennial Exposition. Wonder what documentation you have for that assertion. I lived in Strafford a dozen years, used the station, painted it prior to the renovation. I researched the story ( seeing pavilion pictures and dimensions ) in the Philadelphia library to confirm local folklore but was unable to do so.

Hi, Shawn. It's been a long time since our paths last crossed, and I sincerely wish it were under different circumstances. As an aside in the "General discussion" section of the pending RfA, you asked why my comment on OldEnglish's user talk page was not impermissible canvassing. Simple: OldEnglish is the primary nominator of the candidate and has already expressed his support of the candidate. As far as I am aware, there is no violation of WP:CANVASS when an RfA supporter and the RfA nominator discuss the status of the RfA on the nominator's talk page. Are you aware of another guideline that might apply? I think we ought to be focusing on some of the less-than-honorable conduct of at least one of the chief oppose voters, who seems to have trouble understanding both WP:CONSENSUS and WP:CANVASS, and how he biased the talk page discussion for which he is now attempting to hold the RfA candidate responsible for purported ignorance of policies and guidelines.

I did a little bit of digging into the Academy's "special award" press releases for the past few years, and while you're right that the Canada Award hasn't been presented since Screenies #1, something called the "Diversity Award" starts being presented as of #2.

I finally did some work on an article about one of my favourite Canadian films. I had the honour of hosting Blake James a few years back at a showing of his film at the local air museum.

Got it fixed. {{ ill}} actually has extra parameters to accommodate a situation like that, which just aren't as familiar because we don't have to use them very often — but the trick, if you're using that template where the English link will have to be disambiguated away from a different topic that already exists, is to go dab-title pipe French title pipe display text. I provisionally went with "animator" as the English dab since that's the list he's on, because I'm not that personally familiar with him to know whether a different one would be better, but it can still be changed if need be. Bearcat ( talk) 16:36, 20 January 2016 (UTC)
Well, of course notability does still depend on whether the article can be properly sourced or not. I wouldn't generally go ahead with an article if the only source I could find for anything at all about the film was its presence in a list of the award nominees, but as long as there are enough sources to say something substantive about a film I don't believe that a Genie/CSA nomination should count for less in the notability sweepstakes than an Oscar or BAFTA nomination does. I am a lot less confident about the craft staff (film editors, costume designers, cinematographers, sound engineers, etc.) being sourceable for much of anything beyond "award-nominated, the end" — even at the Oscar level, a lot of the articles that do exist about those people aren't much better than "award-nominated, the end" either — but as a rule the films are generally able to get over WP:GNG if we look carefully enough.

Hi there, I've done some work on this film article and after screening the film numerous times, I've found some problems with the information that was originally in the article.

If he doesn't want to admit his affiliation there is not much we can do. But many information presented in his articles are misleading or non-relevant. E.g. Djuradj Vujcic is a member of the Canadian Association of Journalists. Voting member or non-voting (anybody can apply)? He is a member of the Royal Canadian Legion, the organization that is open to the general public. How is that relevant? His father Prvoslav Vujcic published 12 books in last 3 years, the name of the publisher is "UBC Canada Press". Those books were not published by the well-established UBC Press (University of British Columbia Press). It's probably an acronym for Urban Book Circle. Would be interesting to see if any of those books have ISBN number and if "UBC Canada Press" is registered publisher here in Canada. They are probably just PDF files published over the Internet.

Since the AFD discussion on Katie Nelson closed before I could answer (or even saw) your question, I just wanted to clarify for you. It's not that student newspapers are considered unreliable sources — it's that they're not notability-conferring sources. They can be used for some supplementary confirmation of facts after notability has already been covered off by enough better sourcing to satisfy WP:GNG, but they can't bring GNG in and of themselves because of their limited circulation and narrow intended audience. And the same goes for alt-weeklies like Now or The Georgia Straight as well: they're perfectly fine for verification of facts in an article that's already solidly sourced otherwise, but they can't help to carry whether the person passes GNG or not. A source can be perfectly reliable for verification of facts, but not useful toward establishing whether the person has the level of media coverage necessary to get a Wikipedia article — some types of sources can serve both purposes simultaneously, but others (IMDb and AllMusic are other examples) can only do the verification piece while not helping the basic notability issue at all. Frex, if an article has a solid number of citations to a broad range of media sources and notability has already been properly established as a result, then it's okay if a few citations to The Georgia Straight or the McGill Daily are present in the mix — but if the topic's basic notability is in question, they're not sources that can help boost it. Bearcat ( talk) 01:43, 21 February 2016 (UTC)
Please check Prvoslav Vujcic, an article created by Tempo21. The same person created deleted article about Urban Book Circle and Djuradj Vujcic (a son of Prvoslav Vujcic). For me, it's hard to believe that somebody can publish 12 books in 2 years, by the same publisher - the ( UBC Press). Also, Prvoslav Vujcic can't be found in their online catalogue. Many references are in Serbian, from Serbian press. For example: "Vujcic is a member of... the US-based International Association of Writers. In 2007, the International Association of Writers named him a Poetry Ambassador of the United States." The references are two texts from Serbian press. I couldn't find the International Association of Writers on the Internet. -- N Jordan ( talk) 07:20, 21 February 2016 (UTC)

Re: Hi Bill. I want to begin by reiterating how impressed I am with your work in Canadian film, especially, these days, Canadian World War II propaganda films. But I'll be remiss if I didn't share a concern that I have: that too many of these short WWII newsreel series films might be challenged at some point as individually non-notable, per WP:NFILM. I say this because I've noticed of late that aside from the detailed synopses that you provide on each film, most or all of the rest of the content seems given over to repeating text that has appeared in multiple articles on other series titles: the distribution for the series as a whole, the ways that these were compilation documentaries, Lorne Greene as the "voice of doom," etc. You've put so much time and effort into these articles and I'd hate to see them end up AfD. I trust that you've mined as much from your references as possible in support of the individual notability of the films, but I thought I'd flag this. Shawn in Montreal ( talk) 16:14, 27 March 2016 (UTC)
In re-screening my copy of this film, I noticed that large sections of Quebec – Path of Conquest were set in Montreal during the Second World War. I just added the following: One of the other significant contributions from Quebec are the weapons of war produced by the province's industry, mainly concentrated in Montreal where munitions factories and aircraft manufacturing plants were built and were running at full capacity. From the airfields along the eastern seaboard come the bombers that are built in North America, as they are ferried across the Atlantic Ocean. The seaports that also are found in this region provide not only the warships but also the merchant shipping from countless nations setting out in convoys to supply Great Britain and other Allies across the Atlantic. Besides newsreel material, original footage was also shot at Montreal's docks and factories, notably the Montreal factories where munitions and aircraft factories were built. Ship and rail yards were also shown. Workers at companies such as Canadian Vickers and Noorduyn built NA-64 Harvard trainers and Consolidated PBY Canso flying boats. The Canadian Pacific Railway’s Angus Shops turned out a range of weapons, including Valentine tanks, while the Montreal Locomotive Works built Ram and Grizzly tanks, and the Sexton self-propelled gun.

Another NFB documentary, on a very controversial subject, the forced deportation of Japanese-Canadians in the Second World War. FWiW Bzuk ( talk) 00:33, 12 April 2016 (UTC)
Hello -- I am a freelancer trying to assist the business owner with keeping their page in Wikipedia. I have made some edits and would appreciate feedback as to whether they were helpful. I know I did not configure the references section in the appropriate way, but it has been so long since I've done Wikipedia edits that I had to create a new username. Any advice would be appreciated.

Thank you very much, I was asking to lock the article and you came to protect the guy who was cherry picking. Now, he changed his IP address and he is literally continuing to destroy the article. The article is related to the Kurdish women, but more than 90% of the content is related to Iraqi Kurdish women, which compose only ~15%-25% of Kurdish population. Also, almost all Mr. cherry picker's sources are from Mojab publications. He is trying to other sources which are referring to Mojab sources, so we can't realize that they are actually from 15-20 years Mojab sources, which are mainly written about the Iraqi Kurds in the 90's. Added neutrality tag and have a fun. I won't touch it anymore because I am tired of remind him. Ferakp ( talk) 22:00, 13 April 2016 (UTC)
I noticed your comment in an AFD I just closed. I've resorted to using the script at User:Mr.Z-man/closeAFD.js when I close AFDs, even as a non-admin. It does all of the hard work. --| Uncle Milty | talk | 20:32, 26 April 2016 (UTC)

I have recreated this article, after finding this information in wikipedia deleted pages, I think some one is repeatedly deleting the article. The article highlights essential information about the Indian films screened and awarded at cannes. Make sure the article is not deleted once again. Chimpidshi ( talk) 04:31, 21 May 2016 (UTC)
Hi shawn please recreate the article. This guy Lugnuts is determined to abuse me. Chimpidshi ( talk) 12:29, 21 May 2016 (UTC)
Hi, Shawn! At Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Khimera, I followed your suggestion and restored the original article about the software. That suggests that the article you created, Khimera (software), is not needed, and you might want to request its deletion, per G7 or A10. If somebody tries to restore the gang article, let me know and I will protect the page. -- MelanieN ( talk) 18:26, 30 May 2016 (UTC)

Hi Shawn in Montreal: Thanks for performing deletion sorting. Just a note that when you placed the delsort notice under "publications" on the Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Fisheries Science of Ukraine AfD log page, the discussion was never relisted at the redirect, at Wikipedia:WikiProject Deletion sorting/Literature. I have added the entry for you there ( diff). North America 1000 21:44, 4 June 2016 (UTC)

You added Mark Breeze to the sportsperson and rugby lists, but he is not a sportsperson or rugby player. Just wanted to check before I undo that. Thanks! Apriestofgix ( talk) 16:18, 15 June 2016 (UTC)

You made reference to the Strafford Train Station being a structure at the Centennial Exposition. Wonder what documentation you have for that assertion. I lived in Strafford a dozen years, used the station, painted it prior to the renovation. I researched the story ( seeing pavilion pictures and dimensions ) in the Philadelphia library to confirm local folklore but was unable to do so.
