Vancouver
I notice you just made an edit that states Vancouver is the largest foreign exporter in North America. Do you have a reference for that change? If it's corroborated, then the sentence right after should also be changed too, since it's rather hard to be first in North American while only being second on the West Coast. &mdash; Saxifrage | &#9742; 09:36, Feb 25, 2005 (UTC)

PeregrineAY: I would like to point out that foreign exports and total cargo volume are different statistics, because ports on the West Coast may ship less foreign cargo but more local cargo or imports than the Port of Vancouver (what is the west coast? debatable? west coast of whole North America? Canadian west coast?) However you are right, and I have changed both.

 * Thanks. My bad for missing that distinction. I've added an in-line citation to that line, too, since the External link to the Port Authority's page way down at the bottom of the article wasn't obvious enough as the source. &mdash; Saxifrage | &#9742; 22:02, Feb 27, 2005 (UTC)

First Aid, back slaps
Regarding your question about back slaps as choking procedure in first aid: They are the standard method taught here in the UK, as per the First Aid Manual (8th Edition) which is the de facto authoritative guide to First Aid procedure in the UK. (It's written jointly by medical advisors representing the UK's largest First Aid providers and training organisations: St. John Ambulance, the British Red Cross, and St. Andrews Ambulance). The procedure in this manual is (or should be) taught on any first aid course in the UK.

The standard procedure for a choking adult is: Encourage the casualty to cough. "If the casualty is beginning to struggle, bend him forwards. Give up to 5 sharp slaps between the shoulder blades with one hand. Check his mouth", followed by 5 abdominal thrusts (Heimlich manoeuvre), repeating the sequence three times if necessary. (Obviously you stop if the person stops choking). Then you should call an ambulance and then repeat the procedure until help arrives or the person becomes unconcious, in which case CPR is commenced.

IB
Yeah, I followed the VfD process, and I think the article was deleted for the wrong reasons (and by people who didn't know anything by the IB). Anyhow, I think a List of International Baccalaureate people is more generally acceptable because of the wording (and it includes the IBO officials), but we'll see if that gets deleted too... :)

I like to think though that it's not the same article any more, since recreating a deleted article would be against policy.

By the way, if you're interested, you're welcome to edit pages relating to the IB... I've been doing that all by my own lately... =P - ulayiti 08:14, 22 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Portals
No, I absolutely dispise the portals on the top. I don't even like them in the first place, and putting them there is way too much. Nope, sorry, not happening for me. Páll 30 June 2005 09:25 (UTC)


 * I'm neutral on this as I don't have any preferences. But with the infobox taking so much space on the right, the portal image makes it look cramped on top. Raul was the one who removed the link on the India page saying it should not be in the main namespace. I don't know what exactly he meant by that, but to include back on the page, I added it in the external links section. =Nichalp   «Talk»=  June 30, 2005 09:26 (UTC)

CSD Proposal 3-B
You voted or commented on Criteria for speedy deletion/Proposal/3-B or  Criteria for speedy deletion/Proposal/3-A or both. I have proposed a revised version, at Criteria for speedy deletion/Proposal/3-C. This version is intended to address objections made by many of those oppsoed to 3-A or 3-B. The revised propsal refers explicitly and directly to the criteria at WP:MUSIC. If you have not already done so, please examine the revised proposal and vote on it also. Thank you.

Inappropriate comments to another user
Your comments to User:67.140.148.94 were inappropriate and inflammatory. Please do not say things like "you're too slow, you haven't conquered anything..." to a vandal, it just eggs them on. Kelly Martin 03:49, July 10, 2005 (UTC)

Major cities in North Dakota
I'd like it if you'd reconsider your vote at CFD. The idea of the category is definitely different from Metro areas. I've also made significant improvements to the implementation of the category, and have incorporated the "Largest cities" section of Template:North Dakota as a guideline for what constitutes "Major".

Please bear in mind that there is no legal differentiation between large and small communities in North Dakota. I feel that Category:Cities in North Dakota, being the full list of all communities, is inadequate, while Category:Metropolitan areas in North Dakota is too restrictive. This category fills an important niche that until now has not been met. --Alexwcovington (talk) 05:38, 10 July 2005 (UTC)


 * Thanks for changing your stance, but I don't believe the categories can be merged in any meaningful way. I would encourage you to allow us to keep the category as it now stands, or join Who in requesting a rename.  Fellow North Dakotan User:MatthewUND has noted on my talk just how much it has improved. --Alexwcovington (talk) 07:54, 10 July 2005 (UTC)

Criteria_for_speedy_deletion/Proposal/3-C
Hello! Sorry to bother you, but since you voted on the earlier CSD proposal about unremarkable bands, it would be appreciated if you cast your vote for this version. It has been reworded to address concerns raised against the earlier wording. Please take a look at it and consider if you support or oppose it. Yours, Radiant_ &gt;|&lt; 08:45, July 15, 2005 (UTC)

Vancouver Skybridge
I notice from your user page that you are located in Vancouver (I found this becuase you've contributed recently to the Vancouver article. There is a dispute on talk:Vancouver Skybridge over an inapropriate image of the bridge (basically its two topless girls with the bridge in the background). I have a feeling the only thing that will stop this dispute is if we get a much better picture. Would you be in a position to take such a photograph and upload it to Wikipedia? Thanks, Thryduulf 14:46, 17 July 2005 (UTC)
 * And why it's called the Vancouver Skybridge I can't imagine; it's between the cities of New Westminster and Surrey and about 10km from the boundary of the City of Vancouver.Skookum1 02:17, 24 November 2005 (UTC)

Wikimania 2006
In the course of informal discussions at Wikimania in Frankfurt the possibility of having Wikimania 2006 in Vancouver was raised. What makes Canada desirable for such a meeting is the capacity to draw delegates from the United States. For many overseas delegates, however, U.S. visa requirements make that country less attractive. All else being equal, Europeans see Vancouver as a more interesting Canadian city to visit than Toronto, the only other Canadian city to receive significant consideration.

Preliminary bids from various cities need to be made by Sept. 30, 2005. A short list will be drawn from those bids. Is there enough interest and energy to put together such a conference in Vancouver for August 2006? The people in Frankfurt put on a tremendous gathering, with a core organizational group of about a dozen people. Some 400 people attended from 52 different countries.

I expect that a North American Wikimania could be a little smaller, but we would still need a suitable facility. It would be good to know that such a facility is available for a conference; the type of youth hostel facility that was used in Frankfurt does not exist in North America. What would be the cost of hosting such a conference at UBC?

I'm looking for interest and commitment. To that end I am proposing a Vancouver meetup for Saturday, Sept. 24. If someone has a reasonably accesible place for such a meeting please let me know. (I live in Richmond, but something in the city of Vancouver would be more appropriate.)

I am spammiong this to all Vancouver area Wikipedians that I can find. Please reply to my talk page. Eclecticology 21:50:16, 2005-09-03 (UTC)

SO I just edit here 71.107.62.213 00:52, 4 January 2006 (UTC) What are u talking about I am being fair & balanced. The entire region of Pakistan was once apart of India!

You are mentioning historical things in Pakistan that have to do with India not Pakistan u moron....And when it comes to me erasing "terrorist" groups, I only erased one...That is not a terror group thats a political group..Only Pakistan has called them a terror group...is it fair when only one country calls them that?

Hi
Hi.

What do you do with an anonymous user that leaves rude comments when I try to tell him his edits are NPOV? His edits are also full of "&"s and rhetoric questions and generally, style that doesn't belong in an encyclopaedia. See User_talk:PeregrineAY

Edit count
I noticed that you created a page at "edit count" redirecting to Edit count. I have tagged it for speedy deletion since an identical redirect was previously deleted. See Redirects for discussion/Log/2006 October 23. Redirects from the main article namespace to the Wikipedia namespace are generally frowned upon and often deleted. If you want to reach the page quickly you can just type WP:EC or for links use edit count. Eluchil404 07:31, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
