Hey, I need some help saving some pages. The deletion of these pages may set a bad precedent for municipal elections on Wikipedia. Have your say at:
 * Articles for deletion/Peel Region municipal elections, 2010
 * Articles for deletion/York Region municipal elections, 2010

Thanks, CJ. -- Earl Andrew - talk 22:34, 10 January 2010 (UTC)

Unreferenced BLPs
Hello CJCurrie! Thank you for your contributions. I am a bot alerting you that 312 of the articles that you created  are tagged as Unreferenced Biographies of Living Persons. The biographies of living persons policy requires that all personal or potentially controversial information be sourced. In addition, to ensure verifiability, all biographies should be based on reliable sources. If you were to bring these articles up to standards, it would greatly help us with the current Category:All_unreferenced_BLPs article backlog. Once the articles are adequately referenced, please remove the unreferencedBLP tag. Here is the list:

It seems that you have not been editing, but just in case you check in, I am going to nominate this article for deletion.

NOWAR-PAIX
This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of NOWAR-PAIX, and it appears to be a substantial copy of http://www.nowar-paix.ca/bg.htm.

It is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article. The article will be reviewed to determine if there are any copyright issues.

If substantial content is duplicated and it is not public domain or available under a compatible license, it will be deleted. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material. You may use such publications as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. See our copyright policy for further details.

 * The article contained too much verbatim material from the referenced website. It also didn't assert notability although it appears likely to me that the organization is notable. A rewrite from secondary sources would be a good idea.   Acroterion  (talk)  04:05, 5 October 2010 (UTC)


 * I quoted the organization's three primary goals in the main body of the article (while noting that my source was the group's website). Otherwise, there was no verbatim material from the referenced website at all. I don't think there was a copyright violation, though I am prepared to adjust the wording.

Speedy deletion nomination of NOWAR-PAIX
A tag has been placed on NOWAR-PAIX requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about about a person, organization (band, club, company, etc.) or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable. You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard.

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. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you. - McMatter (talk)/(contrib) 05:18, 5 October 2010 (UTC)

"scandal-du-jour,"
Why would you step in to identify the Smitherman topic as a scandal-du-jour and not step in with regards to the vague form letter response from Ford's campaign ? I am very concerned about the selective editing and non-editing by senior Canadian Editors, particularly when I peruse the complete history of Rob Ford and Helena Guergis, so I figure I must be missing something here. When you have a chance, maybe you can try to explain how you decide which of the articles you watch to edit. I realize you don't have to do that, But it might be real helpful to me to have a better understanding. Mr.Grantevans2 (talk) 15:17, 5 October 2010 (UTC)

Edit War on Jason Kenney
You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war&#32; according to the reverts you have made on Jason Kenney. Users who edit disruptively or refuse to collaborate with others may be blocked if they continue. In particular the three-revert rule states that making more than three reversions on a single page within a 24-hour period is almost always grounds for an immediate block. If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the talk page to discuss controversial changes. Work towards wording and content that gains consensus among editors. If unsuccessful then do not edit war even if you believe you are right. Post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If edit warring continues, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. --SaskatchewanSenator (talk) 01:22, 14 October 2010 (UTC)


 * Readers may note that this was the edit to which User:SaskatchewanSenator objects, and that I was addressing his/her concerns on the article talk page at the very moment that s/he posted his/her message. I doubt this situation could be described as an edit war in the meaningful sense of the term.


 * Readers should also note that it's generally not recommended for one participant in a content dispute to post an "edit war" notice on another participant's talk page. CJCurrie (talk) 01:32, 14 October 2010 (UTC)
 * When your changes are not accepted, it is usually better to discuss the issue rather than repeatedly reverting the article. Check out WP:CYCLE. Let's discuss your concerns on the talk page. Cheers.--SaskatchewanSenator (talk) 19:08, 14 October 2010 (UTC)

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 hang-on 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. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. Graham Colm (talk) 18:30, 11 December 2010 (UTC)

Lewis MacKenzie
Hello. I'd just like to explain that I'm not reverting your change to my edit at the Lewis MacKenzie article as a knockabout tit-for-tat riposte, I'm serious in saying that Lewis MacKenzie's ongoing support for the Serbian nationalist stance on Balkan issues is significant matter as far his biography and the article are concerned.

I assume from the pattern of UrbanVillager's activities across a series of Wikipedia articles that the original insertion of a mention of MacKenzie's role in the two films was part of an effort to promote awareness of the forthcoming The Weight of Chains film. The film, like its predecessor Kosovo: Can You Imagine? has an obvious Serbian nationalist agenda, which is not remarkable given Malagurski's background. What is significant is that Lewis MacKenzie, long after his very limited period of active involvement in UN peacekeeping in Bosnia continues to involve himself in propaganda for the Serbian nationalist position in relation to the Bosnian war and Kosovo. The reasons remain controversial, but that support is public and sustained. MacKenzie's involvement with Malagurski's films alongside the likes of Srdja Trifkovic cannot be said to be the misadventure of an innocent abroad.

A few references for you to check out, whether or not you agree with what I am saying, just to show you that I'm not simply engaging in an uninformed slanging match aimed at maligning a national hero. Malagurski's role in the Serbian Youth League http://www.serbianyouthleague.org/vancouver/contact.html and their advocacy activities http://www.serbianyouthleague.org/vancouver/multimedia.html What Malagurski has to say about the film The Weight of Chains on his Facebook page: http://www.facebook.com/pages/Boris-Malagurski/107962485893652 MacKenzie continues to offer himself as a commentator on contemporary Balkan issues: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f9eNT9_CPZY MacKenzie's ongoing political support for the Serbian nationalist viewpoint: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1LjmGei-UJY http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9dzeWzok56k Opbeith (talk) 10:06, 13 December 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for taking the time to clarify the situation at my User page. I'm very much aware of Canadian sensitivities concerning Lewis MacKenzie, who has frequently courted controversy on the subject of the Balkans (including in a number of areas where he has no special knowledge or expertise) but nevertheless retains considerable respect among Canadians (and others). I wanted to make the reason for my references to Malagurski's affiliations clear. MacKenzie and the other participants in Malgurski's films all have a long history of advocacy for the Serbian nationalist cause (including challenges to the legal findings about war crimes, etc.). I find it difficult to see MacKenzie's involvement with Malagurski as politically innocent. Obviously I wasn't expecting you simply to agree with me when I insist on pointing out the relevance of MacKenzie's longstanding involvement with the propagandists, I just wanted to make it clear that my amendments were thought through, not simply the next step in a tit-for-tat squabble with UrbanVillager.

Please don't hesitate to comment, whether or not you agree with me. I have no problem with people holding different views to me as long as they're not part of an organised campaign! As you might guess I hold fairly strong views about MacKenzie but I'm certainly not averse to being disagreed with on a reasonable basis.Opbeith (talk) 00:01, 14 December 2010 (UTC)
