Disappearance_of_Kimberly_McAndrew
I am writing an article about the Disappearance_of_Kimberly_McAndrew and I would to have your feedback on this article, I feel it is part of our Canadian history of missing person in Nova Scotia. I would like to keep it on Wikipedia.jbignell (talk) 01:01, 21 August 2013 (UTC)

welcome
Thanks for joining our slightly slow moving project! Do you work at Collideascope? I used to work with Steve and MA when Steve was at Citadel, ages ago. I moved the article of the moment to the one you suggested, it will be a long haul to make that turkey work! As my mother-in-law says, pitter patter, lets get at 'er!WayeMason 02:33, 13 February 2006 (UTC)

Formatting my contributions
Thanks for the help with the Halifax demographics. I feel the content changes are valuable, but I feel like such a goof when the result *looks* worse afterward. Thanks for cleaning it up a bit! AshleyMorton 14:58, 14 June 2006 (UTC)

Image:Red dragon thing.gif
The image Image:Red dragon thing.gif is clearly a derivative work of Image:Dalhousie coat of arms.png. As such, the original holder of the copyrights to the latter image retains rights on the former. I've retagged the former (and OrphanBot picked up on it) appropriately. If you have questions about this, I'd be happy to answer. All the best, --Durin 18:11, 14 August 2006 (UTC)

Help with RFC
Hello fellow WikiProject_Nova_Scotia member. I have recently lodged a Request for Comments on the Talk:Halifax, Nova Scotia page. I and several other editors have had a running dispute with user Lonewolf BC. The RFC is This is a dispute about whether it is accurate to continue to refer to the area of or approximately coinciding with the boundaries of the City of Halifax, which became a part of the rural/urban Halifax Regional Municipality in 1996,  as a city.

Basically, as I say on the RFC, we all agree that this is no longer a City, but to use former City's boundaries when describing the current urban area as a "city" (note the lower case) is at best arbitrary and at worst a fabrication. The city is now a continuous area that wraps the harbour, from Portuguese Cove (outside of the city of Halifax to the west and south) to Cole Harbour (outside of the former City of Dartmouth to the east). People now refer to the entire urban area of Halifax Regional Municipality as 'the city' and 'Halifax'.

Anyway, the bottom line is at least five people have tried to change the wording of the intro since January, and every time this one user changes it back. I have tried to come up with compromise wording, and he won't dialog. Right now wikipedia says HRM and Halifax are the capital of Nova Scotia. This article is now factually incorrect, in my opinion, and I need your help, please chime in. WayeMason 23:05, 7 April 2007 (UTC)

Image:Xev-Seeberg.jpg copyright
Hi, OldCommentator, I was just through and saw Image:Xev-Seeberg.jpg. I was wondering you managed to get a GFDL on that image, since almost all the Lexx images are purely copyrighted screenshots. If you got them to agree to freely license their images, it would be good to know. If so, could you explain it on image talk page. Thanks! -- Ricky81682 (talk) 05:07, 13 September 2007 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Zev3.jpg
Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Zev3.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use. Suggestions on how to do so can be found here.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Rettetast 21:50, 14 September 2007 (UTC)

Notification of automated file description generation
Your upload of File:Column cap.gif or contribution to its description is noted, and thanks (even if belatedly) for your contribution. In order to help make better use of the media, an attempt has been made by an automated process to identify and add certain information to the media's description page.

This notification is placed on your talk page because a bot has identified you either as the uploader of the file, or as a contributor to its metadata. It would be appreciated if you could carefully review the information the bot added. To opt out of these notifications, please follow the instructions here. Thanks!

Please claim your upload(s): File:OldCommentator.jpg
Hi, This image was seemingly uploaded prior to current image polices, Thank you.

However, as part of ongoing efforts to ensure all media on English Wikipedia is correctly licensed and attributed it would be appreciated if you were able to confirm, that it was your own work, by marking it as own, amending the information added by a third party, and by changing the license to an appropriate "self" variant. You can also add  to the media by uploader tag if it is present to indicate that you've acknowledged the image, and license shown (and updated the information where appropriate).

This will assist those reviewing the many many "free" images on commons that have not yet been transfered to Commons. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 17:15, 4 June 2016 (UTC)


 * I sincerely tried, but it's all too complicated. Back in the day, the Wikipedia could easily be edited by people like me. Now it seems to be run by, and for, the bots. If the picture of me, taken by me, cropped by me, and uploaded by me, is no longer acceptable, the robots can bloody-well take it down. OldCommentator (talk) 18:06, 4 June 2016 (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)
