Prince Edward Island/Nova Scotia (Speakers)
I reread the biography for William Cottnam Tonge at and it appears that, although he was reelected as speaker in November 1806, the governor John Wentworth did not approve, and he was replaced by Lewis Morris Wilkins on November 20. According to, Wilkins resigned from the assembly in February, 1817. I believe that he was replaced as speaker by Simon Bradstreet Robie in that year; see.

I will try to track down some information on the other issues that you mentioned. --Big_iron (talk) 21:34, 2 May 2009 (UTC)

Prince Edward Island : garden province of Canada reports the following speakers for the first period:
 * P. Callbeck, 1788
 * A. Fletcher, 1790 - this is Alexander Fletcher (colonial politician) who also seems to have been speaker from 1785 to 1787
 * J. Robinson, 1790 - this is Joseph Robinson (loyalist) who was first elected in 1790 and was speaker from 1790 to 1794, when he was named to the Legislative Council
 * J. Stewart, 1795 - this is John Stewart (d. 1834), who succeeded Robinson and was speaker from 1795 to 1801
 * J. Curtis, 1801, this is James Curtis who was speaker from 1801 to 1805 and again from 1813-1818
 * R. Hodgson, 1806

The same source reports the following speakers for 1867 to 1873:
 * Donald Montgomery, 1859
 * Joseph Wightman (Canadian politician), 1867, who was speaker from 1867 to 1870 and in 1872, see
 * John Yeo, 1871, who was speaker in 1871
 * Stanislaus Perry, 1873

In case you haven't seen it yet, user Cmr08 left a note on my talk page stating that "Vince MacLean was Speaker for two years following his election in 1974.". --Big_iron (talk) 09:00, 4 May 2009 (UTC)


 * Sorry for posting that info on the wrong talk page. It was just now that I noticed what I had done. Cmr08 (talk) 01:57, 6 May 2009 (UTC)

I have some more information on Nova Scotia speakers from the annual Canadian Parliamentary Guides: --Big_iron (talk) 10:09, 5 May 2009 (UTC)
 * George M. Mitchell was speaker from 1970 to 1973; named Minister of Development in 1973
 * James L. Connolly was speaker from 1973 to 1974
 * Vince MacLean was speaker from 1974 to 1976; named to cabinet in 1976
 * George Doucet was named speaker in 1977

Note: John Stewart (d. 1834) above is the same as John Stewart (Prince Edward Island politician) who was also speaker from 1825 to 1831. --Big_iron (talk) 11:18, 5 May 2009 (UTC)

Ted McWhinney
DR - I note you've taken an interest in Ted McWhinney's suggestion r.e. proclamations of accession. I wonder, though, with this obscure and singular opinion now included in a pretty much identical fashion in no less than four articles, is there no way to streamline this and conform more neatly with WP:UNDUE? The Ted McWhinney article would seem to be the most logical place to direct all other references. --Miesianiacal (talk) 13:27, 19 May 2009 (UTC)

SK election map
Hey, by any chance do you have a map of the 1991 Saskatchewan election results? I see you have one for the 1995 election so I'm hoping you maybe have a 1991 in storage? Dodge rambler (talk) 18:50, 20 May 2009 (UTC)

No, unfortunately I don't. They use two different sets of electoral boundaries and I don't have those boundaries. I'm working on it though. Ndchriste (talk) 17:06, 4 June 2009 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Canadian Council for Israel and Jewish Advocacy
A tag has been placed on Canadian Council for Israel and Jewish Advocacy 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 a company or corporation, 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, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for companies and corporations.

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), 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 admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you.

 * Hey Dodge, as you probably noticed, I recreated the article. I thought the speedy was incorrect enough that I went ahead and just did it.  That being said, I didn't realize at the time that you had started a DRV.  In the future if this happens, ask at the DRV for somebody re userfy the article for you.  While there is nothing wrong with my recreating the article, once the DRV was started, it probably should have been handled through that process.--- I'm Spartacus!  NO!

Question
Hi, Dodge. Can you say if you have used or are using any accounts other than this? Thanks, IronDuke  20:12, 27 June 2009 (UTC)
 * No. Now please deal with the issue of cutting the size of the Israel section in CUPE. Dodge rambler (talk) 21:01, 27 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Dr, I've moved this so it's together (and so my question to you doesn't disappear, which I'm sure you didn't intend). If that bothers you, feel free to port this whole discussion over to my talk page. Cheers. IronDuke  21:19, 27 June 2009 (UTC)

Disambiguation pages
Hello. I see from my watchlist that you sent me a message, but it isn't on my Talk page. I think it may have been overwritten as someone else was contacting me at the same time, so I thought I'd reply here. I am well aware of MOS:DAB and MOS:DABRL, and did check 'What links here' and revert additions if they link to nothing, or only to a user's page and/or another dab/list. It's also always preferable to create the article first. Thanks, Boleyn2 (talk) 20:37, 27 July 2009 (UTC)
