Recent edit to Westwood Plateau
Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. I noticed that you made a change to an article, Westwood Plateau, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so! If you need guidance on referencing, please see the referencing for beginners tutorial, or if you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you!

Population sources
I noticed that you updated some population numbers on articles from the 2016 census without providing a source. Providing a source for information like this is a Wikipedia policy WP:VERIFIABILITY and most importantly it gives credibility to Wikipedia when people can easily verify information that they find here. Please go back to your edits and include your source. Thanks a lot. Air.light (talk) 21:46, 12 February 2017 (UTC) Sorry. I was in a rush. Socialistboyy (talk) 20:25, 2 March 2017 (UTC)socialistboyy

Welcome to Wikipedia and thank you for your contributions. I am glad to see that you are discussing a topic. However, as a general rule, talk pages such as Talk:MPLA are for discussion related to improving the article, not general discussion about the topic or unrelated topics. If you have specific questions about certain topics, consider visiting our reference desk and asking them there instead of on article talk pages. Thank you.

Updating climate charts
Thanks for updating the climate charts like you have been. When you do update climate charts, please make sure all of the data on the chart comes from the same station. For example, on the Salt Spring Island chart I noticed you updated some figures but didn't change the extreme temperatures which were from a different station on the island. Also if you add a new record high into the chart please be sure to add a reference for it from the daily data for that station. Thanks a lot! Air.light (talk) 00:38, 12 September 2017 (UTC)

Clarification
Hi, the lists that we have that use M6 as inclusion limit were not set by WikiProject Earthquakes (or anyone for that matter). That just came about somehow during the early days of WP. You know how most things developed (or continue to be developed)? People just duplicate what someone else has done. In other words, no consensus was ever established about this issue. I am not even sure which editor was the first one to start that practice :) but I have been active with WP Earthquakes for several years and have put some effort into stopping it. We should not be listing earthquakes that meet some arbitrary minimum magnitude. There's no real reason to. Effects are what should limit whether an event should be listed or not. Dawnseeker2000  01:05, 6 January 2018 (UTC)
 * I understand. My problem is, deadly earthquakes are rare in Canada, so the list is quite empty only including those. Magnitude 6 earthquakes are quite relevant here when they happen, and are put everywhere on the news. Alex of Canada (talk) 03:01, 6 January 2018 (UTC)
 * I've opened a discussion on the article's talk page, which is where this should be thrashed out. Mikenorton (talk) 15:41, 17 January 2018 (UTC)

February 2018
Your recent editing history at Richard B. Spencer shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See BRD for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Being involved in an edit war can result in your being blocked from editing&mdash;especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring&mdash;even if you don't violate the three-revert rule&mdash;should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.'' Richard B. Spencer is under WP:1RR, since it is under Discretionary sanctions.

Discuss on the article's talk page. Thank you. Grayfell (talk) 07:21, 19 February 2018 (UTC)'' Grayfell (talk) 07:21, 19 February 2018 (UTC)
 * Edit war? It was two edits. That's hardly a "war" of any sort Alex of Canada (talk) 07:22, 19 February 2018 (UTC)


 * Again, since the article is under discretionary sanctions, even a single revert is a problem. I strongly recommend you self-revert and resolve this on the talk page first. Grayfell (talk) 07:23, 19 February 2018 (UTC)


 * I agree. Thanks for the quick reply, I made a discussion on the talk page. Alex of Canada (talk) 07:24, 19 February 2018 (UTC)


 * Did you miss the part about WP:1RR and self-reverting? By self-revert, I mean that you undo the contested edit until this is resolved. Grayfell (talk) 07:28, 19 February 2018 (UTC)

A complaint and two notes of thanks
First, since it's said too rarely, I see you editing a lot so thanks for all your hard work.

As I'm sure you know by the fact you self-reverted this is not on; don't talk to other editors like that, no matter how frustrated you may get.

With that said, thanks also for realising the need to remove it again. Too many people dig their heels in when they make a mistake.

Happy editing! -- BobTheIP editing as 88.111.218.152 (talk) 22:16, 7 April 2018 (UTC)

Albany limousine crash moved to draftspace
An article you recently created, Albany limousine crash, does not have enough sources and citations as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of " " before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.

Citation problem
Re this edit, I assume you used some automated means to create the citation template. Unfortunately, that resulted in a trashy citation, as can be seen here. For starters, it put things in the author name fields that have nothing to do with any author (that particular news story has no byline, therefore no author is needed in the citation). Use of an automated means does not mean you're not responsible for the results. I have cleaned up that instance "manually" using the basic wiki editor, but please take this into consideration in future edits. ― Mandruss  &#9742;  23:07, 24 March 2019 (UTC)
 * Hmm, it seems to work fine for me. I'm not exactly sure what the problem is. Sorry if it caused any for you, though. Alex of Canada (talk) 23:08, 24 March 2019 (UTC)
 * I thought I just explained what the problem is, or at least the worst part of it. For example, "Mar 18" and "March 19" are not authors' surnames, and "CBC News · Posted:" and "2019 9:56 PM ET | Last Updated:" are not authors' forenames. Looking at the template code in the diff I linked might aid your understanding. I also gave you a link to the rendered citation. &#8213; Mandruss  &#9742;  23:16, 24 March 2019 (UTC)
 * Ah, sorry. Perhaps Wikipedia should fix their automatic citations.... Alex of Canada (talk) 23:27, 24 March 2019 (UTC)
 * I agree. In the meantime, however, you're responsible for the results of a tool that you choose to use. &#8213; Mandruss  &#9742;  23:31, 24 March 2019 (UTC)

Al Noor Mosque, Christchurch
I would concur with your edit to this page -- as it stands now. But the History section may get changed very soon. If you self-revert, I can keep this information:


 * In 2014 the New Zealand and Australian press reported an allegation that in 2011 an Australian man was introduced to radical Islam at the mosque

from appearing in the same (sub)section as this information:


 * On 15 March 2019, the site, along with Linwood Islamic Centre, was a target of the Christchurch mosque shootings.

which one editor may well challenge as WP:SYNTH that "directly negatively affects the life safety of people related to the mosque" and "may incite another shooting". Many thanks! --Dervorguilla (talk) 05:44, 25 March 2019 (UTC)
 * I'm not exactly sure what you're asking of me. Alex of Canada (talk) 05:45, 25 March 2019 (UTC)
 * Apologies; I'm just asking you to self-revert, for now. (You're welcome come back and restore the change after the material gets added, if you see fit!) --Dervorguilla (talk) 05:52, 25 March 2019 (UTC)
 * I don't really see the purpose, but I guess I will then. Alex of Canada (talk) 05:52, 25 March 2019 (UTC)
