Constitutional debate of Canada
As-tu eu la chance de voir cette page de discussion?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Constitutional_debate_of_Canada

Il y a beaucoup de travail à faire et j'hésite encore à proposer une structure pour l'article. Cette page était directement à même Politics of Canada avant ça.

 * Pour l'instant j'ai beaucoup de pain sur la planche, je crée des pages sur les anciens hommes politiques québécois. Vas-y et fais des modifications comme bon te semble.  J'ai ajouté cette page à mon watchlist, je vais peut-être pouvoir contribuer plus tard. P.T. Aufrette 19:46, 12 Mar 2004 (UTC)

-- Do you know anything about the Quebec Liberal Party between confederation and the 1950s? That's the major gap in the Quebec Liberal Party article. Formeruser-83 23:34, 15 Mar 2004 (UTC)


 * OK, I filled in some details at Quebec Liberal Party. P.T. Aufrette 03:42, 16 Mar 2004 (UTC)

Message
Oi, remember to wikify dates, particularly years. Thanks GrazingshipIV 09:06, Apr 7, 2004 (UTC)


 * Actually, I didn't create that particular page, just created a new redirect to it.

Re: the Concordia University vandal, I've added the page to my watchlist and have since reverted that user's most recent vandalism of the page. Darkcore 06:01, 7 May 2004 (UTC)


 * OK, great. Obviously, I'm watching it myself, but the more people on it the better.  P.T. Aufrette 18:17, 7 May 2004 (UTC)

in response to you comments on my talk page:

Hmm, well I didn't come up with the template, and I'm not very good with html. The only reason why I can see it being a bad idea would be because it would stretch out the year column rows. However, I plan on adding more years, so that might be a solution. Anyways, I'm not that good with html, and it has been very frustrating, but you may change it if you feel it necessary. Earl Andrew 19:03, 15 May 2004 (UTC)


 * Since the Eastern Townships text is very verbose, I'll leave it extra small for the moment, but maybe it should change later. -- P.T. Aufrette 19:30, 15 May 2004 (UTC)

You have moved all of the Canadian election pages to "Canadian federal election, ####". A few months consensus was reached at Talk:Canadian federal election for the "#### Canadian election" format. Why do you think the grammatically awkward "Canadian federal election, ####" format is better? - SimonP 02:34, 3 Jun 2004 (UTC)

Invitation
Salut. D'abord, en complétant la catégorie Quebec general elections que j'ai créée, j'ai remarqué combien ton travail est impressionnant sur les pages d'élections québécoises et j'amierais t'en remercier, comme pour le reste de ton travail sur la Wiki. Ensuite, je souhaite t'inviter à ajouter ton nom à la nouvelle communauté Wikipedians/Quebec et à en parler aux autres Québécois Wikipédiens (ou liés au Québec, comme les expatriés ou les Franco-Américains, par exemple) que tu connais. Merci! --Liberlogos 09:53, 4 Aug 2004 (UTC)

Article Licensing
Hi, I've started a drive to get users to multi-license all of their contributions that they've made to either (1) all U.S. state, county, and city articles or (2) all articles, using the Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike (CC-by-sa) v1.0 and v2.0 Licenses or into the public domain if they prefer. The CC-by-sa license is a true free documentation license that is similar to Wikipedia's license, the GFDL, but it allows other projects, such as WikiTravel, to use our articles. Since you are among the top 1000 Wikipedians by edits, I was wondering if you would be willing to multi-license all of your contributions or at minimum those on the geographic articles. Over 90% of people asked have agreed. For More Information:
 * Multi-Licensing FAQ - Lots of questions answered
 * Multi-Licensing Guide
 * Free the Rambot Articles Project

To allow us to track those users who muli-license their contributions, many users copy and paste the " " template into their user page, but there are other options at Template messages/User namespace. The following examples could also copied and pasted into your user page:


 * Option 1
 * I agree to multi-license all my contributions, with the exception of my user pages, as described below:

OR
 * Option 2
 * I agree to multi-license all my contributions to any U.S. state, county, or city article as described below:

Or if you wanted to place your work into the public domain, you could replace " " with "  ". If you only prefer using the GFDL, I would like to know that too. Please let me know what you think at my talk page. It's important to know either way so no one keeps asking. -- Ram-Man (comment| talk)

Federal elections charts
I’d like to get some consensus on what to do about colours in the elections charts, but I don’t want to get into a revert war, so I’m asking people to express their opinions here before any changes are made. Since you have contributed to these pages, I’m inviting your comments. I am initiating this discussion because some of the colours that are currently being used are too dark for some monitors so that it is difficult to read the text. The point of adding colours to the charts is to make it easier for readers to derive information from the charts. This goal is foiled by using colours dark enough to obscure the text. The Wikipedia style guide is clear on the issue:
 * Use colour sparingly. Computers and browsers vary: you cannot know how much colour is presented on the recipient's machine if any. Wikipedia is international: colours have different meaning in different cultures. Too many colours on one page make them look cluttered and unencyclopedic. Use the colour red only for alerts and warnings.

So let’s choose some colours that are light enough that red Wilkilinked text and blue Wikilinked text are both easy to read through.

Please join the discussion at: Talk:Canadian federal election results since 1867. Thanks, Kevintoronto 17:30, 18 Feb 2005 (UTC)

AfD nomination of Lampshade hanging
An editor has nominated one or more articles which you have created or worked on, for deletion. The nominated article is Lampshade hanging. We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe that the article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in his/her nomination (see also Notability and "What Wikipedia is not").

Your opinions on whether the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome; please participate in the discussion(s) by adding your comments to Articles for deletion/Lampshade hanging (2nd nomination). Please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes ( ~ ).

You may also edit the article during the discussion to improve it but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate.

Please note: This is an automatic notification by a bot. I have nothing to do with this article or the deletion nomination, and can't do anything about it. --Erwin85Bot (talk) 01:18, 31 December 2009 (UTC)

DYK for James Stirling (judge)

High Sheriff of Leicestershire 1882
William Winterton took the oath in 1882. See http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/a2a/records.aspx?cat=056-qs_4&cid=1-17-133&kw=robert%20rosbottom#1-17-133 Plucas58 (talk) 22:03, 18 March 2011 (UTC)

All resolved - It was William Winterton. The original candidate copped out for some reason (not death - he died in 1889). Thanks for pointing out the problem. Regards Plucas58 (talk) 23:01, 18 March 2011 (UTC)

 * OK, fixed. -- P.T. Aufrette (talk) 06:13, 8 April 2011 (UTC)

Horseshoe orbit
Thanks for improving the Horseshoe orbit article. You seem to be pretty knowledgeable, so I have a question for you. What does "there is no repeated looping" refer to? It would be great if you could clarify that in the article. &mdash; Sebastian 17:11, 18 April 2011 (UTC)

It appears that that refers to "The loop is not closed but will drift forward or backward slightly each time, so that the point it circles will appear to move smoothly along Earth's orbit over a long period of time." However, that is unclear to me, too. What is "the point it circles"? Wouldn't that be the sun? Or does it mean L3 (as the 'center' between L4 and L5)? &mdash; Sebastian 17:15, 18 April 2011 (UTC)


 * It looks like that wording has been there since the article was created, and I find it confusing too. Unfortunately, I'm not really qualified to do the rewording or rewrite here. :( -- P.T. Aufrette (talk) 05:52, 19 April 2011 (UTC)


 * No problem; I'll as at the article talk page. Thanks! &mdash; Sebastian 07:05, 19 April 2011 (UTC)
