The other Canadian Naval reserve article is ...
HMCS Malahat. I had actually blocked the creator for two previous accounts that failed the username policy. He then left this message. Daniel Case (talk) 04:36, 17 January 2010 (UTC)

Re: Smithers
If you look at the edit history you will notice that I am not the one who added that particular reference. The author's name, however, does sound vaguely familiar. I'm sure if someone were to contact the Smithers Museum someone would be able to get you information on the Meir publication as well as this whole section of the article. My understanding is that they are the ones who provided the picture of Rabbi Glatzer. --Pachavi (talk) 08:12, 20 January 2010 (UTC)

'Rabbi Glatzer' is about as real as Puff the magic dragon. I live in Smithers, have been in the museum many times, and know that THIS IS A HOAX! Don't be deluded by it! I can give you pictures of the whole museum, or a video, If you'd like proof. Stuntology (talk) 06:56, 22 January 2010 (UTC)

I swear that I will, within the next week. I can take pictures of the pages cited, but I don't konw how to upload them, and you'd have to tell me how to. Thank you for your understanding that I have access to proof (whether I am right or not)! —Preceding unsigned comment added by Stuntology (talk • contribs) 19:59, 24 January 2010 (UTC)


 * At this moment I have scanned my copy of the Bulkley Valley Lakes District yellow pages, scanning the 'Churches and other places of worship' section. COuld you tell me how I could get this picture to you? It lists no synagogues, and I hope that that proof is sufficient. If not, I will got to the library as you suggested and take photos, or you can contact the Smithers Museum through this link: http://www.bvmuseum.com/about/contact Contact me if you need further proofs. Stuntology (talk) 02:39, 25 January 2010 (UTC)


 * I've heard about the Shervill book, what's hard is that the citer left no page# or chapter. So you are saying that proof is unnessecary? I will check it out nevertheless, and will bring up what I find on the talk page. Respectfully, Stuntology (talk) 06:53, 25 January 2010 (UTC)

Diefenbaker
Hi, I checked the Newman book when I got home last night and that's what Newman says, sure enough. I put the exact quote on the article talk page. I'd be grateful for any further comments, if you want to leave them there, or at my talk page, or on the FAC page. Best,--Wehwalt (talk) 12:15, 20 January 2010 (UTC)

Subst
Please don't substitute cleanup/dispute templates like you did at Mica Heliskiing Guides. That just ends up putting them in Category:Pages with incorrectly substituted templates for un-substing. :-) — SMcCandlish  Talk⇒ ʕ(Õلō)ˀ  Contribs. 16:22, 29 January 2010 (UTC)

some $&$% wanting to "determine copyright" in images that are clearly PUBLIC DOMAIN
It seems some template-happy admin-type doesn't like the public domain {{tl|PD-Canada]] images on HMS Ganges, Admiral Baynes or the Alexandra Bridge. See User_talk:Sfan00_IMG for my response, and also the re-iteration of the delete notices on my page (they would have been deleted tonight if I hadn't removed their templates). It's like asking for an image of the pyramids to be deleted because we're not sure of the architect. How can something that is already in the public domain be deemed to be something that might have copyright (when it clearly can't)? Sometimes I think/know there's Wikipedians out there don't have anything better to do but make up nonsensical rules for other people without lives to have something destructive to do....these are all in the BC Archives and have catalogue numbers and BC Archives claims copyright (illegally), but some I know (such as the Alexandra Bridge pictures) are in VPL and/or the Vancouver Archives, neither of which claim copyright control over anything (because they know they can't, as is also the case with the National Archives). Citing the BC Archives call numbers may satisfy this, but hten some other earnest-but-uneducated admin is going to read the BC ARchives cash-grabbing false claim of copyright and remove them......Skookum1 (talk) 00:49, 9 May 2010 (UTC)
 * The images are:


 * this painting of Admiral Baynes, 1880s, artist undetermined. Society registers and diaries probably will contain the information as to who the Admiral "sat for" at the time
 * HMS Ganges at anchor in Victoria, 1880s, photographer undetermined - but likely under contract to the Royal Navy
 * Alexandra Bridge, c. 1868 - photographer undetermined, but from my knowledge of the time is most likely Charles Gentile. There were very few active photographers in BC in the 1860s, and only one or two "foreign 'photographers who took the trip to the Cariboo; this image is also either in VPL or the Vancouver Archives; BC Archives' claim to own copyright is as spurious as their claim that the Phair family collection, of which they have copies, is under their copyright; or indeed if one of my family photos were in their possession and they made such a claim.
 * Alexandra Bridge, 1926 - "Miscellaneous E album", whatever "E" is in Archives-speak or government-of-the-day-speak. My guess is that this is a DoH-type image (the Cariboo Highway had only recently been reopened, in 1922, and there was probably talk of upgrading the bridge).  It doesn't matter who the photographer was since these are in the public domain (no matter what BC Archives claims).
 * It galls me that this kind of thing goes on; wastes our time....too many teenagers with wiki-admin/wiki-guideline-writing obsessions is my diagnosis....Skookum1 (talk) 00:58, 9 May 2010 (UTC)

You are now a Reviewer
Hello. Your account has been granted the "reviewer" userright, allowing you to review other users' edits on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged protection, will be commencing a two-month trial at approximately 23:00, 2010 June 15 (UTC).

Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under flagged protection. Flagged protection is applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial.

When reviewing, edits should be accepted if they are not obvious vandalism or BLP violations, and not clearly problematic in light of the reason given for protection (see Reviewing process). More detailed documentation and guidelines can be found here.

If you do not want this userright, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. Karanacs (talk) 03:37, 16 June 2010 (UTC)

Re Template:Infobox mountain
You are using Infobox mountain on your sub page User:KenWalker/mountain. Your infobox used deprecated parameter names. In the near future the template is to be updated and the old parameter names will no longer work. I updated the template for you. I hope that was OK. – droll  &#91;chat&#93;  20:06, 20 October 2010 (UTC)
