Thanks for uploading Image:Mayor-miller.jpg. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:


 * 1) Go to the image description page and edit it to add , without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template.
 * 2) On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace the fair use image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or a similar) image under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on [ this link]. Note that any fair use images which are replaceable by free-licensed alternatives 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. Chowbok  ☠  02:57, 29 January 2007 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Children of the Prime Ministers of Canada
Thinks you can help us save this article? Articles for deletion/Children of the Prime Ministers of Canada. Thanks —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Earl Andrew (talk • contribs) 01:24, 5 February 2007 (UTC).
 * Hi, thanks for your vote to keep on the article on their children, but they have put this one (Articles for deletion/Parents of the Prime Ministers of Canada) on AfD as well. -- Earl Andrew - talk 19:11, 10 February 2007 (UTC)

Lengths of PMs time in office
I'm not sure whether or not we are counting the days the same way. The way I see it, Feb. 6, 2006 was his 1st day in office, Feb. 5, 2007 was his 365th day, and Feb. 6, 2007 was his 366, which translates to 1 year and 1 day. You had 367 days translating to 1 year and 1 day, so I was wondering if that was a typo or whether we are adding up these numbers differently. --Arctic Gnome (talk • contribs) 02:05, 7 February 2007 (UTC)
 * I think we might be adding them up differently. Feb 5, 2007 was his 365th day in office, but that is still not a complete year. There are 365 days in a year, but when it his 366 days, then it is a complate year, starting a new year. Feb 6, 2007 was Harper's one year in office, Feb 7 was Harper's 1 year and one day. SFrank85 23:32, 7 February 2007 (UTC)
 * So for the incumbency in days you are including the current day and for the calendar length you are only including completed days. While there is a certain logic to that, I think it's looks weird to see "367 day = 1 year + 1 day" when that mathematically doesn't make sense.  IMHO both numbers should use the same system, and since the other PM's times include the last day for both, Harper's should too.  If we want to not include the last day, than both numbers should not include it and all the other PMs numbers should be changed as well.  --Arctic Gnome (talk • contribs) 04:16, 8 February 2007 (UTC)
 * In fact, it looks like government references do not include the last day. I'll change the other PM's to match the shorter version you use.  But I stand by my point that the two columns should use the same system to prevent mathematical inaccuracies.  --Arctic Gnome (talk • contribs) 04:53, 8 February 2007 (UTC)
 * I have now standardized all of the calculations based on the Library of Parliament's website. By that standard, the last day of a term is not counted.  If you want, we can make the incumbents current day count, meaning we'd add one day to Harper.  How it is now, the incumbency in days column works the same way that the calendar incumbency column works.  The measurement in days is not the XXth day in office, but the total number of days.  --Arctic Gnome (talk • contribs) 06:01, 8 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Sorry to be leaving so much junk on your page, but I've gone back and forth with the way the numbers are calculated because of some contradictory information on the government's website. It seems that you and I have spent more time making our list right than they have :).  I have clarified my method of calculation on the bottom of the page.  For example, here is Harper's calculation up to and including today, with the length in days the same as the calendar length: .  --Arctic Gnome (talk • contribs) 06:33, 8 February 2007 (UTC)
 * I still think the days for Harper is wrong (not total days). There are 365 days in one year. Once you hit 365 days in a year, it is now a new year, but the last day of the first year. February 6 is Harper's first year, but according to this, his first year anniversary was on February 5, which is wrong. SFrank85 15:08, 9 February 2007 (UTC)
 * His anniversary is on the 6th, sure. However, the list counts both the first and the last days as full days (except for the day when power is transfered at the end of terms).  You are trying to include the last day in the total days column and not include the last day in the other column; and it's confusing to have the columns not use the same system.  When we include all of Feb. 6 '06 and all of Feb. 5 '07; as of and including Feb. 5th he had been in power for 365 full days: 1 year.  Including all of Feb. 6 '07, he has been in power for 366 full days: 1 year and 1 day.  This is how the calculator that I used to add up these numbers works ; you can tell it to not count the last day, but when you do that it takes off the last day from both the length by days and by years.  To list it your way, with the days and calendar columns not adding up, we would have to specify that the 367th day equates to 1 year and 1 day.  --Arctic Gnome (talk • contribs) 15:50, 9 February 2007 (UTC)

Trailer Park Boys
I thought it very odd to see Trailer Park Boys listed as a favourite show, knowing the Salvation Army's stance on alcohol, drugs, profanity and otherwise immoral activities, as they define them. I was a Salvationist from birth until I left in 1998. Not that I wish to judge, but I can't watch that show, mostly due to the constant profanity that grates. What do you find attractive about the show?--WPaulB 18:12, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

Image:St Mark's CopticChurch--TO.jpg
Hello, there.

I just wanted to know if you're able to take a picture of St. Mark's Coptic Orthodox Church in Toronto. You can find out the street address online (the links to those websites are on the image pages). The current images are, unfortunately, copyrighted, as I was the one who uploaded them.

The current (copyrighted) images may get deleted, so if they do, then I'll need to replace them.

I need you or somebody else to take a picture, release its copyright, and upload it onto Wikipedia. I HAVE contacted others to notify them also, so if there are more than one pictures, that's OK (I can still make an article on them). I want these images to be used for, specifically, the article "Coptic Orthodox Church in Canada". The image page is, again:
