Hi Raellerby, I just wanted to let you know that I have added the "autopatrolled" permission to your account, as you have created numerous, valid articles. This feature will have no effect on your editing, and is simply intended to reduce the workload on

Image is still too big for non free - text is not a criteria for non-free image - as policy states - An original, high resolution image (that can be reasonably scaled down to maintain overall artistic and critical details) may lose some text detail. In such cases, that text should be duplicated on the image description page. Care should be given to the recreation of copyrighted text: while it is appropriate for credits from a movie poster as factual data, such duplication would not be appropriate for an original poem embedded within an image. It's sometimes better to use a block quote on the article. A one megapixel image is very large for non-free and would have to have a very good reason and community support to stay.

I've rolled back your changes because:

• Symbols instead of text reduce clarity, not improve it.
• The % where running column gives an accurate impression of the strength of the BQ and minor parties that are regional in nature. It is not redundant.
• N/A was used for new parties in 2015, not dashes; if a dash were used an em-dash would be more appropriate.

I developed the template by adapting the code used in the template for the 2015 results. I'll test your removal of text-align coding and use that if it doesn't break the table.

I do thank you for (indirectly) making me aware of forgetting to use asterisks to mark unmarkable columns for new parties.

On Results of the 2019 Canadian federal election, I've been trying to do make a similar table you made for the closest ridings by vote count by I'm having trouble. So, I was wondering if you could do the 20 closest ridings by voting percentage and the 20 largest margins of victory by voting percentage. The source is the following : https://www.theglobeandmail.com/politics/article-federal-election-2019-results-trudeau-liberal-minority-explainer/

Thank you in advance and have a nice day,

User:MikkelJSmith Thanks for pointing out that article - I'd missed it when combing through the sites! The design doesn't look too difficult, and I'll do it shortly.Raellerby (talk) 19:56, 31 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hello,

Google Code-In, Google-organized contest in which the Wikimedia Foundation participates, starts in a few weeks. This contest is about taking high school students into the world of opensource. I'm sending you this message because you recently edited a documentation page at the English Wikipedia.

I would like to ask you to take part in Google Code-In as a mentor. That would mean to prepare at least one task (it can be documentation related, or something else - the other categories are Code, Design, Quality Assurance and Outreach) for the participants, and help the student to complete it. Please sign up at the contest page and send us your Google account address to [email protected], so we can invite you in!

From my own experience, Google Code-In can be fun, you can make several new friends, attract new people to your wiki and make them part of your community.

If you have any questions, please let us know at [email protected].

Thank you!

I thought you might find it interesting to know that your edit [1] to the History of British Airways was the 930,000,000th edit to the English Wikipedia. I like keeping track of (and in this case, updating) WP:Time Between Edits, which is about the time it takes between every 10 million edits. Clovermoss (talk) 21:09, 10 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi!

Since you are the original creator of Template:UCC, I thought I'd make sure you were looped in on an update I made just now that added the ability to cite a subsection. e.g. UCC § 2-314(2)(b) . (And I certainly don't mean to imply that you are fungible :) ...) I added the Template:UCC/sandbox and Template:UCC/testcases pages and everything seems to work just fine. Since you were the original creator, if you had a minute to double check the test cases and also to make sure that I didn't miss something that would break the template.

Hope you're well!

The article List of marginal seats in the 2015 Canadian federal election has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

This article is 100% unreferenced. The idea that these are all somehow marginal seats is WP:OR, not backed up by any WP:RS that asserts that.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. Ahunt (talk) 12:53, 8 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article List of marginal seats in the 2015 Canadian federal election is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.

I appreciate the work you've done creating tables for election results but please do not delete the riding by riding results that list results by candidates - you may not find these useful but other people do. If it's too long then put them on a subpage but please don't just delete them as you did in various Ontario provincial election result pages. In future, please create a subpage like this one Results of the 2003 Ontario general election by riding and if you could do that for any page for which you have deleted riding by riding results, please do.
