Menzies
Thank you for your work on Menzies. Unfortunately, disambiguation pages do not follow the same stylistic rules as normal pages.

Please see the disambiguation style guide for more information. If you have any questions not answered there,

or try the help desk. Fourohfour 14:50, 11 August 2007 (UTC)


 * My apologies! I wasn't sure if everyone would know where Manitoba was, so I included the wikilink.  I may have done so on other disambig pages - I will try to track them down & correct them.  Thanks for bringing this to my attention. --MBueckert 15:06, 13 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Yeah, it's a nuisance. We say do people "do X, Y and Z", then we have to tell them that it doesn't apply to dab pages. Personally, I'd like to see something done about it, but that might require overhauling the Wiki software itself, who knows... Fourohfour 21:00, 14 August 2007 (UTC)

Unreferenced BLPs
Hello MBueckert! Thank you for your contributions. I am a bot alerting you that 1 of the articles that you created  is tagged as an Unreferenced Biography of a Living Person. The biographies of living persons policy requires that all personal or potentially controversial information be sourced. In addition, to insure verifiability, all biographies should be based on reliable sources. if you were to bring this article up to standards, it would greatly help us with the current Category:All_unreferenced_BLPs article backlog. Once the article is adequately referenced, please remove the unreferencedBLP tag. Here is the article:

Proposed deletion of Fred Sandhu


The article Fred Sandhu has been proposed for deletion because it appears to have no references. Under Wikipedia policy, this newly created biography of a living person will be deleted unless it has at least one reference to a reliable source that directly supports material in the article.

If you created the article, please don't be offended. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Referencing for beginners, or ask at the help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the prod blp tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within ten days, the article may be deleted, but you can when you are ready to add one. by Kevin12cd  Talk to me  This was posted at  00:25, 3 December 2012 (UTC)

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)

Proposed deletion heads up
Hi MBueckert, hopefully you got a notification from the username mention, but just in case I wanted to point out this discussion I started on the WikiProject Canada notice board which relates to some articles you created. If you think I'm misreading the situation re notability, I hope you'll chime in. Also, I hope you don't take offense at my suggestion. I appreciate that these articles were made in good faith, and a significant amount of effort must have gone into creating them, but I just don't think they're right for wikipedia.
