Wikimedia Canada

Hi there! I'd like to invite you to explore Wikimedia Canada, and create a list of people interested in forming a local chapter for our nation. A local chapter will help promote and improve the organization, within our great nation. We'd also like to encourage everyone to suggest projects for our national chapter to participate in. Hope to see you there!--DarkEvil 04:24, 3 February 2006 (UTC)

WikiProject Backpacking

Hello, I noticed you seem to like Backpacking and was wondering if you'd be interested in WikiProject Backpacking, a new project geared towards improving backpacking related articles on Wikipedia. If you'd like to join, show support by signing your name at Wikipedia:WikiProject_Council/Proposals#Backpacking and by helping to edit our beta project page at User:Leif902/WikiProject Backpacking. Thank you, and have a nice day! -Leif902 00:30, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

AD&D Userbox

so um does that mean it no longer works till i fix it, that everyone has to alter their pages to get it to work again? that i need to somehow inform people where to find and how to use it now?

i never knew where to put the darn thing and just followed what instructions i found for creating one, but as long as it works and people can still use it without any special attention from me each time someone wants to use it i don't really mind where it is. rather pleased actually that after all this time someone has taken the time to at least inform me where user created userboxes go, or that a usebox policy change may have occured that i may wish to look into and learn about the changes. shadzar|Talk|contribs 20:53, 30 July 2007 (UTC)

Userbox link with text change...

I may have misunderstood your question on the Wikipedia_talk:Userboxes/New_Userboxes page, but I posted up the following response:

"Isn't that done by putting a separator between the link phrase and your desired text, thus - '''[[Grammar Nazi|Grammarian smarty-pants]]''' = Grammarian smarty-pants ? Now someone can help me by telling me which keys on my PC keyboard produce the separator - I'm fed up with having to copy and paste. Thanks."

Hope this helps, but I'm sure you must have meant something else. Drywontonmee 00:54, 4 August 2007 (UTC)

I think I got what you meant. Does this look right? 63.172.28.121 20:03, 26 August 2007 (UTC)

RCAC userbox

No sweat, I was just trying to help out - many userboxes have non-free images that get deleted leaving them bare, as a member of Wikiproject Userboxes one of the things I do is try to fix them up. Usually that goes over well, but if you want to protest Wikipedia's fair-use policy then by all means go ahead! - Ahunt (talk) 12:18, 7 July 2008 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Crown Dependency of Forvik

Hi. Gene Poole and I are both supporting closing the above AfD as soon as possible because we think that Adam233 is likely to be either a sockpuppet or a single-purpose account. Could you please leave a short comment on the page to support closing the AfD, if you support that? It will help us get this AfD closed and see if Adam233 is planning anything else. Thanks. Onecanadasquarebishopsgate 14:13, 10 August 2008 (UTC)

If you could keep an eye on Adam 233's user page and restore the sockpuppet warning if he tries to remove it again I'd appreciate it. Time we knocked this one on the head. --Gene_poole (talk) 01:23, 15 August 2008 (UTC)
I'll try, but I'm eating soon. What's the procedure for reporting a user for blocking or banning? We might want to take that path, especially now that he's moved on to 3RR too. --coldacid (talk|contrib) 01:25, 15 August 2008 (UTC)

Now that the AfD is closed, I'd be very happy to just forget that any of this happened. All I wanted to do was edit and improve my own articles, now I'm again questioning whether or not I'll stay on Wikipedia. Thanks to everyone involved. --coldacid (talk|contrib) 03:32, 15 August 2008 (UTC)

Hi Coldacid, thank you for signing my final comment in the AfD debate. A simple oversight made late at night.

Adam233 is very clearly a sockpuppet or single-purpose account of an experienced user. He's also a quite effective troll. I'll look into what can be done to see justice ultimately prevail. Don't be too discouraged by the opinion of Bidgee, he clearly hadn't read into the background of the dispute. Even good admins have their bad days. - Dalvikur (talk) 19:41, 15 August 2008 (UTC)

No problem. Somebody has to fight off the (signature signing) bots.
I'd like to give Adam233 the benefit of the doubt, but considering there's been no further edits or activity from that account, I'm still sticking with my SPA theory. If it were an IP editor who wanted to do AfDs and further edits, then we'd see more activity at least. I try to adhere to WP:ASSUME, but yeah, there's nothing but evidence that supports only a bad view of the account.
I may disagree with Bidgee's view, but he makes a good point for someone who is an outsider to the entire case. And he at least dealt with it well. I've got nothing against his view. barneca's accusation of gaming, on the other hand...
I don't think I'll be going away (gotta get the Toastmasters article to GA!) but it's become yet another reason for me to be pissed off with Wikipedia, as if I needed another. --coldacid (talk|contrib) 21:47, 15 August 2008 (UTC)

Image:Kawartha Highlands PP.JPG

Hey there! Your photo for the Kawartha Highlands Provincial Park article is great! For someone who gets to spend some time every year on one of the many lakes within the park, I'm curious to know where you took the picture, in case it's within hiking or canoing/portaging distance from Loon Call Lake (near Wolf and Anstruther Lakes). It probably wouldn't hurt to add some more specific locale information to the photo's page on Commons, either. Thanks! --coldacid (talk|contrib) 01:50, 21 August 2008 (UTC)

  • Thanks for your commendation. This pond is located along Anstruther Lake Road, before Wolf Lake. -- P199 (talk) 17:41, 21 August 2008 (UTC)
    • Which would explain why I haven't seen it; I almost never go further than the public access for Loon Call Lake, and even then just for the annual corn roast. I've got to get a bike up to the cottage so I can ride up to Anstruther, and all points in between... --coldacid (talk|contrib) 03:28, 22 August 2008 (UTC)

Le Parc Downsview

Okay, I was going to write this entire passage in French but I relented (LOL). I know the Downsview Park very well as I have a connection with the Toronto Aerospace Museum. However, please do change the note to whatever is proper, but "official names" probably should predominate in the first instance, and then familiar names after. FWiW, I currently work with a high school program in Commercial Aviation, the school: Collége Sturgeon Heights Collegiate (just the way of the world in Canada, hard to go against the official nomenclature, sorta like pushing water uphill...) Bzuk (talk) 11:58, 22 August 2008 (UTC).

BTW, I wrote the de Havilland Canada articles quite a long time ago, so they only appear on my watchlist, and I have long since left them behind. FWiW Bzuk (talk) 12:00, 22 August 2008 (UTC).
I'm not going to change it back to my edit. It's just really annoying to see the bilingual names pushed, when the plain and seperate English and French names are every bit as official. BTW good thing you didn't write it in French, because I wouldn't understand it. I got my grade nine French credit on a technicality, I never actually passed the class. And those years having to learn it in school, those have amounted to nothing. I know more classical Latin than I know French. I'm just a curmudgeonly English speaker I suppose. :p --coldacid (talk|contrib) 12:13, 22 August 2008 (UTC)
Just remember that it's not just the "bilingual" name, it's actually, in many cases in Canada, the official or formal name that is in use. FWiW Bzuk (talk) 12:21, 22 August 2008 (UTC).

Sockpuppetry

Hi. Just thought you might want to be aware of this. --Gene_poole (talk) 22:39, 10 September 2008 (UTC)

Wilderness Diarrhea Article Getting Killed

coldacid: perhaps this is of interest to you. A couple of zealots are merging Wilderness Diarrhea into Travelers Diarrhea for obscure reasons. The article is comprehensive and dull, and useful to those interested in the topic. After a couple of weeks of calm discussion, I went ballistic and no longer wish to participate. It might be helpful if there were some reasonable voices arguing in favor of a backpacking-related perspective. Calamitybrook (talk) 17:36, 24 September 2008 (UTC)

My solution to all this bullshit zealotry is find someone to bankroll a fork of Wikipedia aimed toward people who don't act like such idiots. Seriously, this stuff is really pissing me off, and I doubt I could provide such a rational voice. --coldacid (talk|contrib) 22:34, 24 September 2008 (UTC)
Mmmm, too bad. Best not to get pissed. Not worthwhile, and probably hopeless. Thanks anyway.
My personal take on Wilderness diarrhea is that there is way too much hype around the topic. I'd added to the article a wide range of studies, the best of which seemed to demonstrate this. I'm afraid I pissed off a small cabal of failed medical doctors, because I told one that his notion of "writing so high school students can understand" is the wrong approach and disrespects the reader.
They decided to teach me a lesson (at the expense of Wilderness Diarrhea) with merger to Travelers Diarrhea. Purely spiteful.
Anyway, if you'd like to read a very thoughtful NYRB article on Wikipedia "deletionists" that would seem to confirm your view, see this link: [[1]]. Calamitybrook (talk) 22:51, 24 September 2008 (UTC)
Good article, thanks for the link! Now if only we could chase off all those deletionist pricks. --coldacid (talk|contrib) 01:17, 25 September 2008 (UTC)

ADR microformat

Please note this edit; the test {{#ifeq:{{{inadr|+}}}|{{{inadr|-}}}| is positive in the earlier version, where the parameter is present, but the value is empty. Andy Mabbett (User:Pigsonthewing); Andy's talk; Andy's edits 20:03, 8 October 2008 (UTC)

By design, because at the time I got adr working with {{Infobox Organization}}, we had an adr nesting inside another one. Your change to {{Infobox Organization}} means that the inadr parameter isn't needed for articles using the infobox any more, however. It wasn't the most obvious setup, but it worked... --coldacid (talk|contrib) 21:25, 8 October 2008 (UTC)
The docs for {{User:Coldacid/Templates/mf-adr}} explains the purpose of the hack. --coldacid (talk|contrib) 21:28, 8 October 2008 (UTC)

Casa Loma

Hey there; I'm not overly familiar with the process of copyvio (in fact, I just intended to mark it with a header template, and didn't expect it to blank the article, but once it did, I just decided I ought to leave it. I had done major weasel-word removal, and removing of like 5 entire paragraphs that were virtually duplicated in the article itself (once in 'History' and once in a separate section after that). After reading all that, it seemed pretty obvious this was copied from some sort of promotional site. I found a lot of it on the casa loma official site (as mentioned at Wikipedia:Copyright problems/2009 March 6. You could especially compare it to the history before I edited it. Even as it is now, parts are copied: "Net proceeds from the operation of Casa Loma support a wide range of the Kiwanis Club's charitable works." is copied directly from this page just to point out one sentence. In fact, I believe that ENTIRE page was verbatum copied into the article before I killed weasel words (that was pretty much before I realized it was copied verbatum). If you go back to history page 5, you will also find that page titled "The years in between". That is exactly what the section in the article was called circa this edit, which makes it obvious that the 'today' section is ripped from the same-titled section of page 6.

If you want to split stuff out of the copyvio, you have my blessing, but you should check out the site I cited on that copyvio page first. I did 'change' a little bit of the text that was in the article to de-weasel, so its obviously not going to be a direct port anymore, but without that site even being cited, I don't think that kind of change is valid enough to claim copyvio has been eliminated, you know? TheHYPO (talk) 08:47, 8 March 2009 (UTC)

Well, I'm going to restore the infobox, but as I mentioned before on your talk page, that opening sentence is a bit trickier than I care to chance with. --coldacid (talk|contrib) 09:31, 8 March 2009 (UTC)

My bad; thanks for fixing that up. TheHYPO (talk) 20:32, 8 March 2009 (UTC)

mIRC and IRC

Hi, I saw your change on the occupy article. The FT source does make a big point out of saying mIRC is their favoured means of communication. I was camping at St Pauls this weekend. Granted I was more interested not in IT, but in finding out about the protestors political motivations and understanding the various power plays from interests trying to co-opt the movement for their own ends. But I did poke my head into the "Tech Tent" (it was too crowded for me to go in) and all the chat screens I could see did seem to be mIRC. I think chats have a unique flavour if everyone uses mIRC, its part of the shared communal experience which the movement seems very keen to maintain. So there is a case both from the sources and actuality to say mIRC not IRC. But I understand your point that IRC is in a sense more technically correct (there has to be some using other IRC clients) so will leave it up to you. FeydHuxtable (talk) 11:45, 31 October 2011 (UTC)

I'd say leave it as IRC. Chances are they didn't say mIRC, but most journalists only know about the client, not the actual technology, and I'd take it that the source misheard. mIRC is probably the least secure client for anyone to use, anyway. --coldacid (talk|contrib) 21:30, 31 October 2011 (UTC)
Yeah, I notice journalists make that sort of mistake about half the time they write on something ive inside knowledge of. But never from an FT journalist and I read FT almost every day. But you could be right so no objection. I didnt know about mIRC being the most insecure. If its true its their favoured client it will be an interesting parallel to their political attitudes where they seem to have a self defeating distrust of the major parties, including ones that share many of their values.

Toastmasters

Hi Chris I'm Angelo Mascaro, the president of the Italian MilanEasy Toastmasters club. I translated the page to Italian http://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toastmasters and I'd like to insert the logo and your image http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Toastmasters_curriculum.png in my page, but I'm not able to reference to them.

Could you please help me?

Thanks, Merry Christmas (a little bit late) and Happy New Year! --Angelo Mascaro (talk) 19:58, 27 December 2012 (UTC)

I've gone and moved the file over to Wikipedia Commons, which should take care of the licensing issue for you. It should also be usable from it.wikipedia without having to upload it there; if I recall correctly any images on Commons can be linked to by any of the language Wikipedias. --coldacid (talk|contrib) 23:59, 27 December 2012 (UTC)

April - National Contribution Month

Good day Coldacid,

During the month of April, Wikimedia Canada is preparing the National Contribution Month, and we are looking for experienced contributors to organize a contribution day (or half-day) in their region.

Contribution days are activities where Wikipedia's contributors, students, or anybody interested in contributing to Wikipedia meets together to collectively improve a predetermined theme. This meetings generally take place in library where references are easy of access, but can be organized in any communal room. Beside improving articles, a goal of this participatory workshops is to initiate neophyte in the cooperative contribution of Wikipedia.

If you are interested in organizing or participating in a contribution day in your region, communicate witht he national team on the project's talk page. The exact agenda of each local event is left to the discretion of the organizer. Help is available for the organization from contributors who already organized these type of days, so don't be worried. If you have any questions or want more information, don't hesitate to contact us.

Speedy deletion nomination of User:Coldacid/Saved pages/Cultural Marxism

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on User:Coldacid/Saved pages/Cultural Marxism, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G4 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be a repost of material that was previously deleted following a deletion debate, such as at articles for deletion. Under the specified criteria, where an article has substantially identical content to that of an article deleted after debate, and any changes in the content do not address the reasons for which the material was previously deleted, it may be deleted at any time.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here.
