Shields
Per the WikiProject shield standards, shields need to be 20px tall when placed in-line. This requires a width of 20px for most 2-digit shields and 25px for most 3-digit shields. (Width is the value you pass to an image.) —Scott5114↗ [EXACT CHANGE ONLY] 02:03, 19 April 2008 (UTC)

Crémazie
Please don't disambiguate titles unless there's actually something else of the same name to distinguish them from. And even if there is a need to disambiguate, we always choose the least complex title at which the topic is uniquely-named — that is, Crémazie (electoral district) would be sufficient. The rule on here is to only disambiguate when it's absolutely necesary, not to preemptively disambiguate every single article of a particular class. Thanks. Bearcat (talk) 03:54, 20 March 2009 (UTC)
 * It depends on what the name of the riding is:
 * If it's a unique name, it can just be at "name".
 * If it's not a unique name in general but is unique among electoral districts, it can be at "name (electoral district)".
 * If there's been a federal riding of the same name but no other provincial one, then it needs to be at "name (provincial electoral district)".
 * If there's been another provincial riding in another province by the same name, then they'd go to "name (Actual Name of Province electoral district)". We'd only have to go all the way to "Actual Name of Province provincial electoral district" if there's actually been a federal riding of the same name and a provincial riding of the same name in another province — I can't absolutely say for sure without checking, but I'm not aware of any case that's actually that crazy.
 * I know it seems kind of confusing, but Wikipedia actually does have a rule about not disambiguating titles unless we absolutely have to. Basically, the rule is to always use the simplest available title at which the topic doesn't conflict with any other topics at their simplest available titles. (For example, this is why we have Rouyn-Noranda instead of "Rouyn-Noranda, Quebec", but Hamilton, Ontario instead of "Hamilton" — there's nothing else in the world called Rouyn-Noranda, but there are a lot of other things called Hamilton.) Hope that helps a bit :-) Bearcat (talk) 04:11, 20 March 2009 (UTC)

The general practice for redirect pages is that they're usually considered harmless and not worth the trouble of actually bothering to delete them. There are some cases where a redirect would actually get deleted: But for a redirect that isn't actually causing any harm, WP:RFD will usually just say "redirects are cheap" and leave it in place. Bearcat (talk) 06:08, 20 March 2009 (UTC)
 * 1) if it's from a really implausible misnomer or spelling error that's unlikely to ever actually get used (e.g. if somebody created a redirect from "Muntttreowlll" to Montreal),
 * 2) if it creates a biased or tendentious assertion (e.g. if somebody redirected "worst prime minister ever" to Stephen Harper),
 * 3) if it's standing in the way of a more appropriate use of the redirect (e.g. if for some weird reason somebody had redirected the alternate title Ottawa, Ontario to Heinz Ketchup instead of Ottawa).

Quebec Routes
I deliberately put a question mark (?) after I accidentally refered to the wrong page in some articles due to a too enthousiastic "copy and paste". Be aware of this and on the look-out. text that you use in the geobox title is inconsistent formatting and unnecessary. Using regular text or bold as shown above is better. Or maybe not use it at all (except where there are multiple boxes, like Aparri, Cagayan), because that would seem to be consistent with all other geobox use. I guess it is really understood that they are "Adjacent Municipal Subdivisions".

 * The Canada census template shows census highlights for the last 3 censuses, whereas the Historical populations template is strictly for population counts and can go back as far as censuses were done. So no overlap, it's just that no data has been added for historical populations before 1991 for most Quebec places.


 * With "inconsistent formatting" I mean that big text is not used for anything else and it is not consistent with geobox use for other places, like all of Ontario. IMO, the big text is too much, really why should the text stand out? My preference is no title...


 * You can just reply here, I will watch this page. That way the conversation says together. Regards, -- P 1 9 9 ✉ 00:26, 1 February 2014 (UTC)


 * Okay for census infobox. I thought the footnotes were a bit too populated anyways. As far as the geobox, the reason I intended to add them was to distinguish between municipal subdivisions and RCMs. Some municipalities have both statuses Mirabel, Quebec that require it. Oddly enough, I did this one without the big text in the first place. So I guess I could go back and change them eventually, but that could take a while.  Gordalmighty (talk) 01:19, 1 February 2014 (UTC)
 * Yes, I totally agree that for places with multiple boxes it is needed to have a title (whether it is for different statuses like Mirabel, Quebec, or for non-contiguous areas like Rivière-Rouge). Thanks for your efforts. -- P 1 9 9 ✉ 02:52, 1 February 2014 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for April 13
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Notre-Dame-de-l'Île-Perrot, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Chateauguay (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ* Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Redirect Greenwich, New Brunswick
Hello. I've noticed that you've removed the redirect, apparently with the rationale that other Greenwich articles exist as a redirect target. However, please be noted that there is a disambiguation page for Greenwich: Greenwich (disambiguation) and that the redirect serves to redirect for Greenwich in New Brunswick. If you believe that another article should be redirected, please change the redirect into a disambiguation page with the appropriate page. If you have a question or comment, please leave a message on my talk page. Thanks.  KJ  &#171;Click Here&#187; 02:11, 1 May 2014 (UTC)

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.

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)
