All is well
Hello CJ3370. In response to your query at my own talk page, Everything is well and your efforts are appreciated. The tags applied to the article John Davis Barnett are non controversial maintenance tags which invite you and other editors to improve the article. You are on the correct track in your efforts to wikify the article which is to introduce links and format the articles style IAW WP:MOS. The Orphan tag describes an article which is not referenced in any of the 3 million plus articles already in Wikipedia. On the left of your screen under the "toolbox" you can access "What links here" to see the articles which link. A minimum of three is preferred. Insofar as the comments on the article talkpage confused you, they were meant to highlight the fact that after submitting the article through AFC, you choose to publish the article yourself. Therefore it is not an AFC article under the guidelines of WP:AFC but rather a new page governed by WP:NPP. If you look at my own talk page just above your entry, you will see an interaction where I had erred in an AFC creation. This is proper criticism as the article had passed through my purview as an AFC reviewer. Your article however bears my signature but not my review. I was closing the AFC request without actually having reviewed it. I hope maybe this makes sense to you and invite you to ask questions in the future if you would like. Cheers.

Orphaned non-free media (File:Canmedaj01489-0107-a.gif)
Thanks for uploading File:Canmedaj01489-0107-a.gif. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Melesse (talk) 02:18, 14 July 2010 (UTC)

Hi, I don't know if you know this, but there is feeback on an article that you requested. It can be seen at Requests for feedback/2010 July 10. If you want me to explain a bit more about WikiProjects I can do. Yaris678 (talk) 12:09, 14 July 2010 (UTC)

Your recent edits
Hello. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( &#126;&#126;&#126;&#126; ) at the end of your comment.

Hi CJ3370. I've put a reply at Talk:William "Tiger" Dunlop. Sorry if I got your hackles up. it wasn't intended. Skinsmoke (talk) 01:55, 15 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Hi CJ. I've replied to your question on my Talk page.  I see you're still having trouble signing your posts!  This could be simply because you forgot (we all do, occasionally), but I got the impression you were struggling to work out how to get the links to your home and talk pages to show.  Just sign the comment with four tildes ~, and it will appear automatically, like Skinsmoke (talk) 19:57, 15 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Hi. Have replied to your latest query.  Keep them coming!  Skinsmoke (talk) 03:07, 16 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Have just realised there may be a problem with the copyright status of the map you've used. It looks to me like it is probably under copyright to Canadian Geographic Enterprises, which would mean it cannot be used.  Their website states:
 * RESTRICTIONS ON USE: You acknowledge that any and all information, content, reports, data, photographs, databases, graphics, interfaces, web pages, text, files, software, product names, company names, trade-marks, logos and trade-names contained on the RCGS site (the “Content”) including the manner in which the Content is presented or appears and all information relating thereto, is the property of RCGS or its licensees, or the respective owner as indicated. All Content is protected by Canadian and worldwide copyright laws and treaty provisions. RCGS and/or its licensors grants you a limited non-exclusive, non-transferable license to use and display on your computer or other electronic access device, the Content and Services for your own personal, private and non-commercial use only. You agree not to reproduce, make derivative works of, retransmit, distribute, sell, publish, communicate, broadcast or otherwise make available any of the Content obtained through a RCGS Site or any of the Services, including without limitation, by caching, framing or similar means, without the prior written consent of the respective owner of such Content.
 * That's a shame, because it's a decent map! You could try finding something to replace it at Wikimedia Commons: Category:Maps of the history of Canada . There are just short of seven million free images on the Wikimedia site, many of them from other language versions of Wikipedia, and its surprising what you can find to insert in an article sometimes.  Because the site is linked to Wikipedia, all you have to do is insert the image title the same way you would if you had found it on Wikipedia.  Other than that, it's a matter of finding someone on Wikipedia good at drawing maps.  You could try asking for help at Graphic Lab/Map workshop or at WikiProject Canada or Wikipedia talk:Canadian Wikipedians' notice board.  As you're probably gathering, you don't half learn fast on Wikipedia!
 * By the way, given your background and interests, you may find  Wikipedia:WikiProject Military history/Canadian military history task force of interest.  Don't know how active they are, but there does seem to be some activity.  I just stumbled across it while I was looking up the two Canadian groups above.  There are other Canadian groups listed at WikiProject Council/Directory/Geographical/Americas.   Skinsmoke (talk) 03:46, 16 July 2010 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of File:1849 ProvinceofCanada.png
A tag has been placed on File:1849 ProvinceofCanada.png requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be a clear copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words.

If the external website belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the owner of the external website but have permission from that owner, see Requesting copyright permission. You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag - if no such tag exists then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hangon tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. ukexpat (talk) 14:59, 16 July 2010 (UTC)

William "Tiger" Dunlop - bare links
Great work on this article! I have added back the bare links tag, as the refs still use bare links. Please consider using the Cite web template. – ukexpat (talk) 15:08, 16 July 2010 (UTC)
 * This was a completely unhelpful and over the top move. There is no requirement to use a citation template.  The citations required slight tweaking (which has now been done).  It would have been more helpful to assist a new editor, rather than blandly sticking an ugly bare links notation at the top of the page.  We can all go around sticking boxes at the top of every page, but it doesn't necessarily improve the encyclopedia, and is basically just lazy, particularly when the solution was so minor.  Sorry, but this sort of bullying of new editors just pisses me off!  Skinsmoke (talk) 20:18, 16 July 2010 (UTC)

Huron Tract
I reviewed your article on the Huron Tract. It looks great except for the fact that the infobox is huge. I would do it but i have no clue how to. Cheers --Guerillero &#124; My Talk 01:34, 3 September 2010 (UTC)

I completely agree with your comment about the size of the infobox. I'm not sure how to resize the pics to decrease the size. Or, perhaps another infobox would have been more appropriate??? If you know of one let me know...I'd be happy to change it. CJ_WeißSchäfer 01:39, 3 September 2010 (UTC)
 * Just to let you know, I've been off for the past week or so. However, I've had a quick look at the article and it looks a whole lot better now. I'll give it a more thorough viewing this evening. PanydThe muffin is not subtle 12:48, 27 September 2010 (UTC)

Family Compact
Hello CJ, a fellow UWO grad! I did write the original Family Compact article many years ago, but my interests have moved far away in place and time since then. I am certainly no expert on the subject. But I have been following your edits, and they seem fine to me. I will take a longer look at it when I get a chance.

Absalom Greeley
Individual politicians should never be filed in ; we have the various "MPPs by political party" categories for that. (I don't think the old Conservative and Progressive Conservative categories should have been merged, but that's another story.) Until the two articles that you recently created, no provincial MPP at all was being filed directly in the political history category, and, in fact, no Canadian politician of any ideological stripe or context has ever been filed directly in either — and Absalom Greeley is not so uniquely important that he should be some sort of sui generis exception. Even having been charged and found guilty of a crime doesn't make him a unique case among Ontario MPPs/MLAs; he may have been the first, but he certainly wasn't the last or the only.

Orphaned non-free image File:CanadaCo Widder.JPG
 Thanks for uploading File:CanadaCo Widder.JPG. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

ArbCom elections are now open!
Hi, You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

File permission problem with File:Ellice003.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:Ellice003.jpg. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file has agreed to release it under the given license.

If you are the copyright holder for this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either
 * make a note permitting reuse under the CC-BY-SA or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or
 * Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en@wikimedia.org, stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here. If you take this step, add OTRS pending to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.

If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-en@wikimedia.org.

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Non-free content, use a tag such as non-free fair use or one of the other tags listed at File copyright tags, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See File copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too. You can find a list of files you have created in [ your upload log]. Files lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. You may wish to read Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Kelly hi! 10:42, 21 July 2016 (UTC)

New 10,000 Challenge for Canada
Hi, WikiProject Canada/The 10,000 Challenge is up and running based on The 10,000 Challenge for the UK which has currently produced over 2300 article improvements and creations. If you'd like to see large scale quality improvements happening for Canada like The Africa Destubathon, which has produced over 1600 articles in 5 weeks, sign up on the page. The idea will be an ongoing national editathon/challenge for Canada but fuelled by a contest such as The North America Destubathon to really get articles on every province and subject mass improved. I would like some support from Canadian wikipedians here to get the Challenge off to a start with some articles to make doing a Destubathon worthwhile! Cheers. --MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 01:55, 22 November 2016 (UTC)
