Train Station (OC Transpo) overpass paragraph
Hello Skeezix1000.

I've put that paragraph since the article about both the Transit Station and the Train Station are merged together.

The Transportation Master Plan says about that overpass that it will:"Provides (d) enhanced transit accessibility to the stadium (Lynx) and adjacent employment area (Coventry Road)". That paragraph was related to the Transitway Station and transit accessibilty to the baseball stadium and the growing employment area on Coventry Road and also Overbrook residents.

I'm wondering if de-merging the article would be better, so we would put the Transit stop's info and the overpass paragraph in a separate article --JForget 02:09, 8 September 2006 (UTC)

Biased Tim Hortons edits.
Hello skeezix1000. This is my second comment on your talk page about Tim Hortons. It seems your a "regular" editor of the article. Almost every time I add someting to the Tim Hortons article, or change something. . . you seem to remove it. I find you are very biased towards Tim Hortons and Canada, you can't seem to accept the fact that Tim Hortons is also in the United States. I find many Canadian owned companies, that have Wikipedia articles are over done with the whole Canadian thing. Take The Canadian Home Hardware for example. Several months ago it has some very anti American comments on it, and it was compared to other American comanies like Home Depot, which apprantly "invaded" Canada. I find the same thing with the Tim Hortons article. Canadians that edit the article (not all, but some) are trying as best they can to get any comments about The United States "out of the article". The thing is, Tim Hortons is still currently affiliated with one of the largest U.S. fast food chains. Wendy's. You need to realise just because a company is Canadian. . . it isn't perfect. Tim Hortons is no different then any other fast food company, they don't care how Iconic they are in Canada ... there in the business for the money. It's as simple as that. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Decimal10 (talk • contribs).


 * No, I am not trying to remove any reference to the U.S. in the article. As my edit summaries indicated, I simply removed the inaccurate reference to TH being "plentiful" in the northeastern U.S. -- in Canada, TH has practically saturated the market in many regions (there is a TH outlet for approximately every 12,500 persons in Canada), but no state in the U.S. has more than 50 outlets, except New York which has under 100.  TH is in the U.S., as it says many times in the article, but it is not ubiquitous the way it is in Canada.  If you have a source that states that TH is plentiful in Buffalo or Detroit, then amend the sentence accordingly by all means -- but it is an exageration to extend the concentration of outlets in those two cities to the entire N.E. U.S.  Perhaps if you took more time to read the edit summaries and the substance of the sentences you are editing, you would not jump to conclusions of anti-Americanism.

and vs. or...
I sense we're very close to a stable version of Ottawa-stub, since we're now only differing by one word. :) But I don't really understand your thinking on that:  why would "or" be read exclusively here?  The trouble is, that if this is applied to an article in the NCR, but not in Ottawa, then the article isn't about both, but is only about the NCR, strictly speaking.  (Granted that those seem to be very much the minority, and the statement is true as written about topics within Ottawa proper.)  But this isn't a big deal, and I'm no hurry to change it back if you disagree.  Alai 02:16, 15 September 2006 (UTC)

TA Sekhar
A minor problem. T. A. Sekhar is the naming convention followed (space between initials) but the article is now at T.A. Sekhar. I'll get an admin to do the switch. Tintin (talk) 05:18, 15 September 2006 (UTC)

Moving an article
The big asterisk (you may know this already, but just in case) is that IF the target article is ONLY a redirect, you can do the move anyway (overwrite the redirect). And such was the case with Frank Clair Stadium. So you DID see something there - it was a redirect. If the edit history had anything more than that - it did not, in this case - the move would have required admin assistance. John Broughton 19:17, 25 September 2006 (UTC)
 * I did not realize that at all, but figured it out when I saw your comment at WP:RM. I'm glad to have learned something new.  Thanks for your help. Skeezix1000 21:28, 25 September 2006 (UTC)

Timbit of Dreams
I've posted to his talk page, as politely as possible asking him to explain why he views it as necessary to give it a separate subheading. Don't know if or when he'll answer, though. Bearcat 20:01, 28 September 2006 (UTC)

Tim Hortons Criticism
Thanks for your help in ensuring I get the citiations necessary for the item I added today. I have now updated the page with proper citations. KsprayDad 23:11, 29 September 2006 (UTC)
