407
Nice info on the 407, where'd you get the 108 km info? Fizscy46

Opps. I don't know where that error re the Canadian Privy Council came from, especially as I had a copy of the British North America Act in front of me at the time. Well spotted. FearÉIREANN 04:04, 28 Sep 2003 (UTC)

I noticed that you separated "Legislative Branch" out of Legislature, which may be a good idea. There was however an earlier article existing at "Legislative branch", which was redirected to Legislature. I restored that entry and moved text there. The two texts still needs merging however at Legislative branch. -- Mic 09:05, Mar 3, 2004 (UTC)

409
The article DOES reflect that the 409 is owned by the GTAA west of the 427, as, if you had read my alterations, I added the sentence: "The portion of Highway 409 west of Highway 427 is owned and operated by the Greater Toronto Airport Authority, though it is still signed as Highway 409."

In the future, please sign your comments on people's talk pages (by using ~ ), especially if you expect a response. Darkcore 22:49, 5 Dec 2004 (UTC)


 * It's not really the same thing. Park Lawn Road was a QEW exit, but is now a Gardiner Expressway exit as a result of the downloading, so if there was a Park Lawn exit listing in a QEW article, it would just be moved to the Gardiner article. That section of the 409 is still called the 409, even if it is no longer owned by the provincial government, so they are still "409" exits even if, officially, they are not part of the 409.

Great maps!
Just wanted to note that I really appreciate your 400-Series Highway maps. Very well-made and illustrative. Radagast 13:47, Dec 7, 2004 (UTC)

RIRO expressway
From what I can tell, the original article at low-budget freeway was intended to cover more than just freeways with RIRO ramps, but also super-2s with normal interchanges. I'm not all that sure that that article should exist, so maybe it should be moved to RIRO and talk specifically about those ramps.

I moved super-2 expressway back to super-2, as that term is always used, but whether to add freeway or expressway on the end is a regional thing. A super-2 expressway can refer to a two-lane surface road built to high standards. I also readded the part about the possibility of a median barrier; some super-2s like RI 78 have them. --SPUI (talk) 03:37, 7 Apr 2005 (UTC)

It may be inconsistent, but the term super-2 is used for divided two-lane freeways. --SPUI (talk) 03:42, 7 Apr 2005 (UTC)

I've seen roads like I-93 through Franconia Notch and RI 78 called super-2s; both have a Jersey barrier with one lane on each side. --SPUI (talk) 03:52, 7 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Digital AMPS
You added a claim to the Digital AMPS page stating that: Rogers Wireless removed all 1900 MHz IS-136 in 2003, and is slowly doing the same with their 800 MHz spectrum as the equipment fails. It is not unusual for a Rogers D-AMPS customer to have coverage in a specific location one day, and then none in that same area the next. I was wondering what you had based this second sentence on? I'm an 800 MHz TDMA user and find the coverage to be really good. But then my phone is also AMPS capable, so perhaps I'm switching over to old analog sites. Anyways, I'm just wondering if you can substantiate this claim in any way, it seems like POV to me but if it's true then perhaps it just needs to be reworded. Musser 21:15, 10 May 2005 (UTC)

Hey there,

I noticed you categorised yourself as a Wikipedian in St. Catharines. Instead of me just making Wikipedians in Welland, Ontario for myself, would you be interested in creating a more broad Wikipedians in Niagara category, much like Wikipedians in Toronto did?

Strategic Counsel polls
Thanks for adding the Strategic Counsel polls to Opinion polling in the Canadian federal election, 2006. Can you use the date the polling was completed though, rather than the release date? I'm assuming that what you just added was January 10th, as the January 9th report came out yesterday (and got to SC's website today), and it can't be January 11th, as it's was only just after 10 pm Eastern, 7 pm Pacific when you posted, so they will still be on the phone doing the polling.

Hope to see you there!--DarkEvil 17:11, 20 January 2006 (UTC)

Honorific prefix
Hi there. I noticed you added "Hon." to Emerson's name in the David Emerson page. The Wikipedia manual of style, which is generally followed for other ministers, suggests this not be used (presumably to reduce clutter). For example, there are no honorifics at the beginning of the articles on Tony Clement, Stephen Harper, or Paul Martin. Nevermind, I was confused (someone else did this, but what you added was an image, which is fine). Sorry about that. --Saforrest 18:15, 7 February 2006 (UTC)

Colouring on Image:StCatsOntario.png
Hey, I'm wondering if there's any particular reason as to why the Town of Grimsby and Township of West Lincoln are coloured in with a different colour than the other municipality in Image:StCatsOntario.png? It also seems like Wainfleet's colour is slightly different... I'm just curious. --Qviri (talk) 21:05, 7 April 2006 (UTC)

St. Catharines article
Glad to see your time and effort put into the article, it's encouraging for me and pays off large! (Trappy 08:09, 16 April 2006 (UTC))

Hey man, I was thinking the exact thing about the Facer article, I plan to get out and take some pictures this week, as I would love images of the church you have mentioned, the Mary Shrine off Garnet Street, plus some images of commercial signs in polish, italian etc...if you ever have a suggestion for photos, just let me know as I would be happy to take them.


 * Hey there, I spent an hour today walking around the Facer street area, and took quite a number of photographs; images of churchs, stores, signs etc.. I hope to add a few of them to the page, I also took a photo of the St.Cyril & Methodus church which provided for some beautiful colours ( I took it at 1pm when the sun was bright).  In speaking with a woman that works at the ABC daycare on Facer, she mentioned graffiti being a HUGE problem in that area and indeed I noticed...so i took some pictures of graffiti too, perhaps we can include a graffiti problem section to the article.  I should be uploading the pictures sometime late tonight, let me know what you think. Trappy 18:52, 20 April 2006 (UTC)::: I added a photograph to the Facer article, however I found the Wiki Commons very frustrating for uploading photographs, I managed to upload only one picture of the Sts. Cyril Methodius Church but didn't bother uploading the others I have of storefronts and signs, check it out --Trappy 05:29, 21 April 2006 (UTC)


 * Hey man. I just wanted your personal opinion on the changes I recently made to the article.  I felt that the Notable Figures section was getting a bit too long and taking up too much valuable space, so I moved it to its own article like many of the major city articles have been doing.  I also revamped the Shopping Section because much of the information I had originally typed up was simply repeated in the individual mall articles.  I just deleted the information I had typed on Lincoln Mall because I dont really think it was that important to begin with.  But if you recommend I put the information back, I'll just give Lincoln Mall its own page (though I don't think its worthy of one).  Should there be links as to where each retail destination is located within the city?  Let me know Trappy 22:08, 8 February 2007 (UTC)

Facer St.
Hey, I'm wondering if you would be able to snap some photographs of the Facer St. area during the World Cup Italy-France match this Sunday. Apparently, there is going to be a big celebration (and possibly street closure) with large scale displays of Italian patriotism. I would do it myself, but I am going to be in Ottawa all weekend...I thought it would be great for the Facer article. Trappy 00:44, 7 July 2006 (UTC)

St. Catharines Ward Map
You've done a great deal of work on the St. Catharines page - THANKS! - The ward map you created has a minor, though significant error. You've exchanged St. Andrews' and St.Patricks' wards on your map. St. Andrews contains Brock and sits south of the 406, whereas St. Patricks is the Ward in the Downtown / Martindale Area.
 * Doh, you're right. I'll fix that ASAP.  Snickerdo 22:56, 13 July 2006 (UTC)

Logo pictures
Hi Snickerdo,

I want to drop by and ask you a question, kindly. Where did you get the 407 Logo from? Did you create it yourself, or copy from the internet? (Don't worry, I am not here to prosecute you or something). I am just curious, and whether or not I should do the same thing.

PLEASE reply as soon as possible.

P.S. If convenient, may I add you as my Wikifriend? And may you please sign my Autograph book. Thank you. Please let me know your decision as soon as possible.

Rigby page
Snickerdo,

Wasn't Partington a St. Catharines Representative on the Regional Council in the brief period before he was re-elected as chair? I don't want to get into an edit war over something this trivial, but I think it's technically correct to list him as Rigby's predecessor. CJCurrie 01:55, 18 January 2007 (UTC)

Okay, that clears it up. Thanks. CJCurrie 02:30, 18 January 2007 (UTC)

Response to AMA Request
Hello Snickerdo, I'm and I'll be your Advocate for your case: Association of Members' Advocates/Requests/January 2007/Snickerdo. It is apparent that the user that you have been involved in conflict has launched a counter-AMA Case Association of Members' Advocates/Requests/January 2007/Yankees76. I will find a resolution to this, hoverer, you must be patient and civil. You have done the right thing in requesting an Advocate.

If you have any questions, just ask me at my talk page. Regards, Dfrg.msc   06:30, 3 February 2007 (UTC)
 * No problems at all, it may take me a few days to get started though, there is a huge amount of information to trawl though. Cheers, Dfrg.msc  06:15, 4 February 2007 (UTC)

Official Response
Thankyou for your patience. It seems a case of the classic, incivil edit war, although yours was more of a skirmish. I understand the amount of work you have done. Quite a lot, you are to be congratulated on that.

Perhaps Yankees76's choice of template was not suitable or that he though you were a vandal. It seems his intentions were to get you to stop you deleting content he added.

The only point of conflict that remains is is:
 * Does Yankees76 still want the information in the Article? If so, then we will find a solution and compromise as to where to put it and how to put it in there. Yankees76 has a point, no-one owns pages, and we all have a say in what goes into them, if the information is true and relevant, there should be no reason to omit it.

It is true that you were:
 * In-civil
 * Offensive
 * Un-cooperative
 * Irrational

However, it is good that you have realized and acknowledged your mistakes and actions and are seeking to make a means, and if you (and it appears you already are) adopt a new style of editing based around civility and co-operation, no further action should be taken against you and we can forget your discrepancies.

It would be a great show of good faith is you apologized to Yankees76 for your personal attacks. Regards, Dfrg.msc 07:08, 6 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Right, as it seems you have found a solution I am officially declaring this case closed. Reagards, Dfrg.msc 04:45, 20 February 2007 (UTC)
 * No problem Snickerdo, I'm happy to do it. I'm sure those involved have already forgotten about it. Your a good editor, and if you need anything, just ask. Cheers, Dfrg.msc 21:51, 24 February 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading Image:NichoR.jpg.

About Boomburb
Snickerdo, don't hold your breath about any lack of edit wars with Trorov. If you've looked through the history of the boomburb Wikipedia entry, you will see how long the war has gone on, back and forth. For weeks, if not months. I support your changes 100% and have always undone Trorov's edits if he undoes mine.

You are invited to a WikiProject!
Hi Snickerdo,

I, hereby represent the whole team of WP:GHR, invite you to join us at WP:GHR! I had reviewed your contributions and have found that you are extremely proficient of Niagara Region! We are in need of users like that since we have none in our team. Before I forget, I have to mention the scope of the project. Well, WP:GHR is a project where we are trying to include all important roads (the regional roads, and the arteries, and the historically-significant ones) in the Golden Horseshoe (both inner ring and outer ring), that is, the area east to Peterborough, west to Kitchener Waterloo, south to Port Colborne, and north to Gravenhurst. Well, you might think we are pretty boring because we are just creating articles for roads. Well, the truth is, we are not! We are currently expanding the project, so that we will no just include roads, but buildings, landmarks, communities, and et cetera. Nhl4hamilton is doing a good example of that. Also, we set up some Outreach department, and we are starting to work on newsletter, and template. Don't forget, the project is very young, only 3 months old!

As a part of WP:GHR, WE REALLY WANT YOU TO JOIN US!

--> Please place your reply at User talk:Smcafirst Thank you!

Art Deco Facade
Thanks for reverting that information, as it was originally correct. St. Catharines City Hall may not be the most stunning example of the Art Deco style, but it definately was designed in that way. I was planning to change to the information myself, thanks for doing it. Trappy 19:14, 1 June 2007 (UTC)

WP:GHR Update


First of all, thank you for joining us!

We will soon be expanding from a road project to a local project (which means including landmarks, and pretty much everything in the Golden Horseshoe), and I hope you can help us!

Enclosed is a map of census divisions (so, counties/ regions / cities), and colour coded to show how are we doing in different parts of the Golden Horseshoe, and how much articles are written. Over the summer, I will create another similar one. The white parts of the map means that we will start to work on these areas, after the expansion of the project. (So, that is, after the creation of WP:QCWC (WikiProject Quebec City-Windsor Corridor).

I am sorry to say, but the region you live in (I believe it's Niagara Region is one of the census divisions on our "Red List", meaning it has none or very few articles about the local roads. I have to admit my team members and I were focusing a lot at York Region, Toronto, and Hamilton, Ontario.

Niagara Regional Roads template
Hi Snickerdo,

Thanks for making such a good job on the Niagara Regional Roads template. It's just good to see that Ontario has SO many road navigational templates than other provinces, and our project is certainly expanding, if you look at this. I remember when I started it, it was barely 2 lines, now it has almost 3.

I am starting to work on some of the Niagara Roads. The first one I've finished is Niagara Regional Road 81. It is quite short, but not too short that I would call it a stub. Myself is not quite familiar with Niagara Region, since I live all the way across the lake. So, it's up to you if you want to add something to the article. I also need some more shield images to go with the articles. What font and colour did you use? If you don't want to tell me, that's fine, but just make some more for Niagara Regional Road 81, like the ones for York Road, St. Paul Street, Main Street, King Street, with the Niagara Regional Road 81 shield. Guess I have to visit Niagara Region more to know more about it, eh?

P.S. I just visited the region like, last week, and it surprised me it changed since the last time I visited (that's 4 years ago)

Victoria Cross (Canada)
Hi, in March 2007 you added the statement: preporations[sic] for the new Canadian Victoria Cross were underway in 1987, pre-dating the Australian award. You wouldn't happen to have a reference would you? I am going for FA status and everything needs citing. I cannot find a reference for this statement. Unless a reference is found i will have to delete it. Thanks. Woodym555 17:44, 5 September 2007 (UTC)

 * I've recently dealt with this; all appropriate tags have been placed, rationale provided, however, now ST47 insists non-free images cannot be used in templates while every single politics (and many other) templates on Wikipedia use non-free images. I've restored the image in question to the teplate until ST47 can explain why this image is being singled out of the hundreds of others being used in a similar fashion. You may wish to join the discussion at the template's talk page. --G2bambino 19:09, 28 October 2007 (UTC)
