You're welcome! Don't worry about screwing anything up, we can always revert. As I told another user yesterday: if you blew up Florida with an H-bomb (our servers are located in Florida) you couldn't take us out! ; - ) -- Essjay · Talk 17:23, July 12, 2005 (UTC)

The idea is that now it might redirect, but in the future there might be enough to make its own article. Thus keeping the extra link shouldn't hurt anything and may make it easier in the future. As for the approaches, the plural comes from the separate road and rail approaches. Anyway, thanks for writing those articles. --SPUI (talk) 00:06, 30 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, that sounds like a good idea, as Niagara seems to be quite closely knit.

I'm not going to bother replying to him on his talk page, seeing as he likes to blank it at random intervals. For the record, I'm heterosexual. --qviri 00:51, 26 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Are you removing the local Aylmer web sites based on the following rule or on another rule? If on the following rule what number of links to local Aylmer website would you think is acceptable?

Mere collections of external links or Internet directories. There is nothing wrong with adding a list of content-relevant links to an article; however, excessive lists can dwarf articles and detract from the purpose of Wikipedia. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:What_Wikipedia_is_not#Wikipedia_is_not_a_mirror_or_a_repository_of_links.2C_images.2C_or_media_files

Hi Qviril, do you have time to answer my above question?

User:Bobmutch)

If you haven't seen it yet, I answered on User talk:Bobmutch. Thanks. --Qviri 16:56, 21 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Well while I have had an account I am kind of new to all this WE stuff. 1/2 the size of the article sounds fine to me. I have to figure which is of more value, the public institutions like clubs, churches, assoc, or buinesses. What is your thought on that. As the Aylmer entry getting bigger I will add more links. I see how the back and forth goes as when I post here you get a message some one has posted. bobmutch 05:28, 22 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Ok there are 16 pages so I add another 5 links (total of 8). I added the ones that I thought would be of most value. I put the church of God groups link there cus it was already there, (I think Herbertster added that one) and a entry in the Aylmer Ontario is on the COG. I know a bunch more history on alymer and lots of good pictures so we can get lots of good info on Aylmer.bobmutch 05:42, 22 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

If you do not recognize a person, it does not mean anything. Shawn Grover was a distinguished Mathematician and UW Alumni. Please refrain from reverting based on personal opinions. Thank you.

The Grover was accepted into the faculty at the age of 17 and was murdered by a gang of Laurier football players shortly after his 20th birthday. He was a beautiful man.

Lazardis never graduated either, clearly you know nothing.

He is famous... nearly every person on UW campus knows of him.

He is a hero among men.

You sir, are rude.

Hi. I noticed you created Niagara Parks Commission and added the {{GoldenHorseshoe-geo-stub}} on it. While the commission is related to geographical issues, it is not itself one, so that stub is inappropriate (I notice your edit summary said you weren't sure, hence this message). I'll re-stub and re-cat that article. By the way, you can find a listing of Canada-related stubs here Mindmatrix 19:15, 28 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Sure. Wherever you see an ogg voice sample uploaded by yours truly, it should be tagged the same way as is now. Halibutt 02:06, 31 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Hey, thanks for fixing the city links in my article. Underneath-it-All 19:55, 31 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. Got your note re: my linking of dates in the History section of the St. Catharines article. (I'd written that section in the first place, with links, and noticed that someone removed them, so I re-added them.) I looked at the style guide you cited and read

• year only. So 1974 → 1974. Generally, do not link, unless they will clearly help the reader to understand the topic'.

I think that in general this is good advice. In a history section, though, I think that cross referencing the year, so readers can see what else was going on at that time, is helpful. That's not to say that any particular year I linked to has a great article behind it, but maybe they'll be improved.  :-) Jeffr 16:27, 10 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there! I'd like to invite you to explore Wikimedia Canada, and create a list of people interested in forming a local chapter for our nation. A local chapter will help promote and improve the organization, within our great nation. We'd also like to encourage everyone to suggest projects for our national chapter to participate in. Hope to see you there!--DarkEvil 17:11, 20 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I'll see what I can do to procure some photographs for you. --Andy Saunders 01:46, 5 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Regarding the page about the mascots, a brief intro can stay I think. If another line gets added, yeah, we should spawn a new page for it...--AlphaTwo 05:26, 5 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the hints and tips. I'm still new to Wikipedia, so your suggestions were most helpful.

Cheers, (Mouswj 14:29, 12 February 2006 (UTC))[reply]

I've had a look for information about Welland, Peterborough, and it doesn't seem to be very big or important. It isn't listed in the Ordnance Survey Gazetteer.

In official administrative terms, places like Peterborough are divided into "electoral wards", each with an average, very roughly, of 5000 inhabitants. Welland isn't big enough to qualify - it is part of Dogsthorpe, which was already listed.

There is a Welland housing estate and a Welland primary school, but in my opinion, I can't find enough to justify a Welland, Peterborough article. Hope this helps CarolGray 19:33, 20 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for helping out with the École secondaire Confédération stub so quickly after it had been marked. Much appreciated!

Thank you soooo much for fixing that table for me! I couldn't figure out what I was doing wrong, but now I don't have to worry about it. Thanx again! Icelandic Hurricane #12 21:53, 5 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I am Chris Chan from SPCR. Nice to see you here.

The reason for Grimsby and West Lincoln being coloured different is because they are not part of the St. Catharines-Niagara CMA - Grimsby is part of the Hamilton CMA, and West Lincoln is not part of any CMA. Wainfleet might look slightly different because I did not originally include it in orange, and had to colour it later. Snickerdo 21:25, 7 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
