Hi,

As a regularly contributing UK Wikipedian, we were wondering if you wanted to contribute to the Oxford bid to host the 2010 Wikimania conference. Please see here for details of how to get involved, we need all the help we can get if we are to put in a compelling bid.

We are also in the process of forming a new UK Wikimedia chapter to replace the soon to be folded old one. If you are interested in helping shape our plans, showing your support or becoming a future member or board member, please head over to the Wikimedia UK v2.0 page and let us know. We plan on holding an election in the next month to find the initial board, who will oversee the process of founding the company and accepting membership applications. They will then call an AGM to formally elect a new board who after obtaining charitable status will start the fund raising, promotion and active support for the UK Wikimedian community for which the chapter is being founded.

You may also wish to attend the next London meet-up at which both of these issues will be discussed. If you can't attend this meetup, you may want to watch Wikipedia:Meetup, for updates on future meets.

We look forward to hearing from you soon, and we send our apologies for this automated intrusion onto your talk page!

"Official" logo at Greater Montreal

This logo is from montreal.com. What organization are you claiming made the logo official? Joeldl (talk) 11:03, 31 December 2008 (UTC)

Hi. Thanks, I didn't know about this logo. (I actually quite like it, but I'll bet it will eventually be used mostly with different shades of a single colour.) A couple of things though:

1. The MMC still has its own logo, which can be seen on the French Wikipedia page for the MMC. Perhaps both should be included in the Wikipedia article on Greater Montreal, and something said to distinguish the ways they're used.

2. On all of the pages I've seen that feature the logo, it has an accent over the e in Montreal, even in its English version. Where did you get the version without an accent? Joeldl (talk) 01:44, 4 January 2009 (UTC)

Viger Station and Hotel - Place Viger

Hi. I don't mean to cause offence, but I moved this back to Place Viger. I'm not entirely sure that "Viger Station and Hotel" is more descriptive or not, but even if it were, the purpose of an article title is not to provide additional details on the article subject. Unless I have missed something (and maybe I have), I have never seen the building referred to as "Viger Station and Hotel" -- even the old English-language stuff referred to it as Place Viger. Today, the city calls it Édifice Jacques Viger, and I guess that would be a candidate for article title (or the Jacques Viger Building, if we can find sources showing that is a widely used and recognized name in English). But Viger Station and Hotel? Feel free to disagree with me and raise the issue on the talk page. Let me know if I have missed some key fact. Regards, --Skeezix1000 (talk) 20:05, 27 February 2009 (UTC)

I moved it to Viger Station and Hotel for a few reasons. The first being that both the French wiki and the city of Montreal refer to Place Viger as Gare-hôtel Viger, and I did think that Viger Station and Hotel is the best translation of that. However, I also have heard the term Château Viger used by what seem to be the property's current owners, and I like the ring of that better than simply Place Viger. In retrospect Viger Station and Hotel was probably not the best choice of page name, I actually like Chateau Viger the best (especially when considering that is was built by the same architect who built the Chateau Frontenac). It seems as though this building has no real official name, but instead has multiple names that are used, Place Viger being one of them, so I have no problem with the status quo. MTLskyline (talk) 21:07, 27 February 2009 (UTC)

You've hit the nail on the head - the building has had (and has) various names. That's the problem. Personally, I have no strong preference, but do think that we need to step back a bit. What is the status of the redevelopment proposal? Any idea? Whatever name they start marketing it under would probably end up deciding it. --Skeezix1000 (talk) 14:26, 28 February 2009 (UTC)

using Advisor.js

Hi. I noticed in this edit in the Stephen Harper article, you did a text substitution, using "Advisor.js". There was just one small problem, that it inadvertantly changed the name of a link to an image, creating a redlink. I wandered if the script you used can be made to leave links to images (or articles) alone. --Rob (talk) 06:31, 4 April 2009 (UTC)

Montreal Trudeau

I have provided a link to the story when Aeroports de Montreal have done a recount of passengers to come to an estimate of 12.8 million. The original number of 12.3 was not correct do to the fact that the airport was not counting non revenue passengers. EX. Passenger A is traveling from Vancouver to Montreal to later get on a flight from Montreal to Paris he would only get counted as one passenger instead of counted twice.
