Population counts
Hi, I see where you have been making a large number of edits to articles, including 35 to Halifax Regional Municipality without providing any proof that the new numbers are correct. One of the major policies of wikipedia is WP:Verifiability. I would suggest that you begin to follow the policy. While I am not doubting the changes you made, some of them seem a bit off. I find it hard to belive that the population of Dartmouth, Nova Scotia would grow by over 35,000 in the last 4 years. It could very well be true, but without providing sources, there is no way to verify the info. Cmr08 (talk) 00:35, 8 August 2010 (UTC)

litre vs liter
Regarding your receipt edit to Toyota Camry (XV30), both 'litre' and 'liter' are correct (Commonwealth English vs American English). Wikipedia allows for both of them to be used but only one form should be used within a single article. 'liter' was already used extensively in that article, so all uses should remain as 'liter'. I am Austrlian and I prefer the 'litre' form but unless we respect others we will get into a state of constant reversal between Commonwealth editors and American editors. Cheers.

Hello, I'm Leventio. I noticed that you recently removed content from Downtown Toronto without adequately explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an accurate edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry; the removed content has been restored. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks.

Uncited promotional material
Please consider reading the guidelines which confirm that Wikipedia is not a travel guide, is not a soapbox, and is supposed to be verifiable. The number of uncited and unqualified (and overtly promotional) claims that you have added to the Downtown Halifax article, for example, suggests that a review of these guidelines would likely be worthwhile. Promotional turns of phrase (like "restaurants providing an interesting array of world cuisine", "Pedestrians are recommended to be cautious, to know your route, and to use good footwear", "array of attractions, a plethora of events-and-festivals, and restaurants", "places to shop", "can easily be accessed" and "citizens and tourists alike with beautiful natural space") suggest that you may have confused Wikipedia with Wikivoyage. (The latter is intended to host travel guide content. The former, this project, is not.) Guliolopez (talk) 18:55, 27 November 2022 (UTC)
