Comment about your edits to airports
You seem to be changing instances of Montréal all over the place. But I have reverted your edits due to your inconsistency. The inconsistency is that you've ignored San José, Cancún and others. --Inetpup 02:32, 1 April 2007 (UTC) A better reason to use the native spelling when they use the latin alphabet is Manual of Style.--Jorfer 16:12, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

City spellings
You have been told multiple times why your edits violate the manual of style. If you persist in this manner, you may be blocked for tendentious editing behaviour. Please cease this useless scheme - you will always be reverted and you're on a fast track to not being able to edit at all. I don't want to have to do that. FCYTravis 08:45, 6 April 2007 (UTC)


 * Hi Habs4ever, I've got to say that I'm with you on your position and applaude your efforts. Though I now live in Ontario, I was born in Montreal, am a native English speaker, and have never used an accent when writing "Montreal" in English. From what I understand of the Wikipedia policy, what you are doing is correct (although I am a new editor here with no status to advise you on your edits). I beleive the part of the Style manual that deals with this kind of thing reads "Wikipedia prefers italics for phrases in other languages and for isolated foreign words that do not yet have common use in the English language. Use anglicized spellings for such words, or use the native spellings if they use the Latin alphabet (with or without diacritics)."


 * There has been a strong and vital English-speaking community in Montreal for hundreds of years and, therefore, "Montreal without the accent" would seem to me to have found common use in English by a sizable native population of Montreal. Even if Montreal is not considered to be an English word, certainly removing a humble little accent would count as anglicizing and the above quote expressly allows the removal of diacritics.


 * Certainly the word Montreal has had a longer and wider use in the English language than, say, the word Vietnam that is spelled "Việt Nam" in Vietnamese and has a Wikipedia article under the anglicized name. Cheers CWPappas 06:15, 19 May 2007 (UTC)

Dagwoods Sauce
I have added a "" template to the article Dagwoods Sauce, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but I don't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and I've explained why in the deletion notice (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may contest the proposed deletion by removing the  notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page. Also, please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. 172.145.237.89 16:27, 18 April 2007 (UTC)

double vote
Hi. Although Articles for Deletion discussions are just that, and not votes, it is generally unacceptable to !vote twice as you did at Articles for deletion/2008 NHL Quarterfinals Riot, Montreal. If you would like to add to your rational, you can just add to your previous statement. Alternativly, you can add your comments as a "Comment". Best, -- brew crewer  (yada, yada) 06:12, 29 May 2008 (UTC)


 * No prob. Thanks for correcting it. -- brew crewer  (yada, yada) 06:19, 29 May 2008 (UTC)

May 2008
Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia. However, please do not add promotional material to articles, as you did to Montreal. Advertising and using Wikipedia as a "soapbox" is strongly discouraged. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about Wikipedia. Thank you. Shawn in Montreal (talk) 14:46, 29 May 2008 (UTC)

Hi there. 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. If you can't type the tilde character, you should click on the signature button located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your name and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you! --SineBot (talk) 15:24, 29 May 2008 (UTC)

WP:BLP and Lindsay Lohan
Please stop adding unreferenced controversial biographical content to articles or any other Wikipedia page, as you did at Lindsay Lohan. Content of this nature could be regarded as defamatory and is in violation of Wikipedia policy. If you continue, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Ward3001 (talk) 01:12, 8 July 2008 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of Cold War 2
A tag has been placed on Cold War 2 requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a very short article providing little or no context to the reader. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.

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 article 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 article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that a copy be emailed to you. - Realkyhick (Talk to me) 05:05, 19 September 2008 (UTC)


 * Do not delete - The concept of a 'Cold War 2' has become a strong possibility in recent years. One only has to look at Russia's war against Georgia in the summer of 2008, the political instability in the Ukraine, the recognition of South Ossetian independence as well as the independence of Abkhazia of Russia and Nicaragua and lastly the eastward expansion of NATO, including the possibility of inviting Georgia and Ukraine.Habs4ever (talk) 05:10, 19 September 2008 (UTC)

Please stop adding unsourced content, as you did to Dominican Republic. This contravenes Wikipedia's policy on verifiability. If you continue to do so, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Cresix (talk) 00:12, 7 October 2012 (UTC)
