Liberal Party of Canada candidates, 41st Canadian federal electionWondering why you removed Brian Murphy (Canadian politician)Brian Murphy from the list of candidates for the 41st Canadian federal election?

Cheers!, PKT(alk) 13:59, 18 January 2011 (UTC) Siobhán CoadyHi there, I noticed you added the title "The Honourable" for Siobhán Coady, in her infobox, but I'm confused as to how she obtained this title. Being elected as an MP doesn't entile a person to be styled as "The Honourable". She has never been a cabinet minister, as she has only served in opposition, never in government, and I can't find anything in article to suggest that she has been sworn in to the privy council. If you can somehow find a source that backs up the title, feel free to put it back in, but as it stands right now, there is nothing provided to suggest she actually has this title so it doesn't belong. Cmr08 (talk) 06:26, 24 January 2011 (UTC) Re: Nfld PC partyThe Progressive Conservative Party of Newfoundland and Labrador article is looking good. It's borderline C-class or B-class. If you expand and cite the ideology section and add some more images you can probably nominate it for good article status before long. —Arctic Gnome (talk • contribs) 01:56, 4 February 2011 (UTC) ReferencesWas thinking you may have uses for this refs that are arleady in templates....Moxy (talk) 20:02, 5 February 2011 (UTC)
Looking for helpHi, I have noticed you are contributing to articles pertaining to NL. You are doing some nice work, thanks for that. I have nearly 6,000 NL related articles in my watch list that I monitor for vandalism and watch as they improve. I would like to see a school class or a MUN history class take on Wikipedia articles as a project. Yvonne JonesHi there, when I received your message, I was actually in the middle of writing a response to the section you added to the talk page. Basically, I agree the information should be sourced or removed. It looks pretty much like a promotion of the subject, while at the same time, taking a shot against Danny Williams. If the comments were in fact made, than the onus should have been on the editor who added the info back in November 2009 to provide one. If you look at the original addition of the material, the editor used the term "we" when discussing the priorities. I find that strange in itself. Cmr08 (talk) 04:23, 10 February 2011 (UTC)
GA Review: Andrei Kirilenko (politician)I've fixed the remaining problems, however, you're problems with how the article is referenced remains invalid. Everything in the article is referenced, I just havn't put a reference behind every sentence. This is a totally normal referencing procedure, see for example the Nikita Khrushchev article, an FA or the Leonid Brezhnev and Alexei Kosygin articles, two GAs that I nominated. While it's nice you're reviewing articles, you should learn more about common referencing procedures by reading the Wiki guidelines if you want to continue.
Just wanted to say, I read your review and wanted to clear up some misconceptions. A citation follows the text being cited, so if an entire paragraph is being referenced by one source, it's sufficient to have one ref at the end of that paragraph. Likewise, if a single sentence comes from different sources, it's appropriate to place references either at the end of that sentence, or at parts which show exactly what is being referenced by each source. See WP:CITE#Some general advice. Regarding the date format, WP:DATERET states that there is no preference given to any format, and that it shouldn't just be changed unless there is a compelling national reason to do so. In this case, the DMY format is preferred. Thanks for your note. No, I don't think the article is B class yet......not even C class, IMO. There is a typo and more linking to be done for C class, and I think more depth is needed before B class could be considered. PKT(alk) 20:59, 18 February 2011 (UTC) Christy ClarkSeventh overall, yes, but only the fourth of a province (the other three were territorial premiers; they're chosen differently and have less executive power than a provincial premier does, so the distinction between provincial and territorial premiers needs to be maintained.)

A quick questionHi there, I'm sure if anyone can answer this question, you can. In Newfoundland & Labrador, is the post nominal MHA only used by current MHAs? Danny Williams article still has the MHA after his name, and if he also resigned his seat, wouldn't that mean he's no longer an MHA? I'm in Nova Scotia, and here only sitting MLAs have the post nominal MLA. Once they resign or defeated, it's no longer used after their name. I belive MPs also lose the post nominal MP once they are no longer an MP. I didn't want to just remove the MHA in case the rules are different in the two provinces. I know here, former cabinet ministers now keep the title Honourable, while other provinces don't, so its posible rules on post nominals could also vary by province. Any ideas? Thanks.

Aaaccc (talk), 6 March 2011 (UTC) St. John'sPoliticians are better placed in Category:People from St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador rather than Category:St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador, and since the people category is itself a subcategory of the main city one, there's no real need for them to be in both categories simultaneously.

Trevor TaylorHi, here is the link you requested confirming that the PC MHA, and the 2000 NDP candidate are the same person.[1] Cmr08 (talk) 06:45, 29 March 2011 (UTC)
Dominic LeBlancHi there, I just wanted to give you a heads up that I reverted one of the edits you made to the Dominic LeBlanc article. According to WP:CREDENTIAL, "Post-nominal letters indicating academic degrees (including honorary degrees) should not be included following the subject's name in the first line (although they may occasionally be used in articles of which the person with the degree is not the subject to clarify their qualifications)." It's already fixed, so it's no big deal or anything, I just thought you were probably unaware of the policy, and would like to know for future reference. As for listing the degrees after name in infobox, I'm not quite 100% sure, but I do believe they are allowed to be listed there. Cmr08 (talk) 05:51, 2 June 2011 (UTC) Ted HsuYou got it right with your third edit; we should normally give pronunciation keys in IPA rather than trying to approximate a phonetic spelling in English letters, because dialects of English vary quite widely — there are, believe it or not, dialects of English where even "SHOO" would be interpreted as implying "show" or "sue" rather than "shoe" the way Canadians say it. And just as another example, try to imagine an article which gave a word or name's pronunciation as "rhymes with car": would that imply caur the way many Torontonians say it, or cair the way many Newfoundlanders say it? So changing it to IPA was the right step. Bearcat (talk) 16:41, 8 June 2011 (UTC) Hello.

Latest polling numbersHi Newfoundland&Labradorian, could you please check the PDF file you added to Kathy Dunderdale's article with the most recent polling numbers from Corporate Research.[2] When I try to open it, I keep getting an error message, but I'm not sure if the problem is with the PDF file or with my pdf reader. If there is a problem, the HTML version can be used as it's the same information, but if there's not, I apologize in advance for getting you to check the link.

PC external linksHi there, I don't know if you noticed this yet, but every external link you added for the bios of PC MHAs are no longer directing to the bio link you provided. Each one is re-directing to the (newenergynl.ca) homepage. You've done most of the work on these articles, so I didn't want to go over your head, but at the same time I figured you would want to know about this. The party must have changed the url when the campaign began, because these links were still directing to the bios a few days ago. Cmr08 (talk) 02:27, 24 September 2011 (UTC)

WikiProject Conservatism faces the ultimate test
By Lionelt On October 7, WikiProject Conservatism was nominated for deletion by member Binksternet. He based his rationale on what he described as an undefinable scope, stating that the project is "at its root undesirable". Of the 40 participants in the discussion, some agreed that the scope was problematic; however, they felt it did not justify deletion of the project. A number of participants suggested moving the project to "WikiProject American conservatism". The overwhelming sentiment was expressed by Guerillero who wrote: "A project is a group of people. This particular group does great work in their topic area[,] why prevent them from doing this[?]" In the end there was negligible opposition to the project and the result of the discussion was "Keep". The proceedings of the deletion discussion were picked up by The Signpost, calling the unfolding drama "the first MfD of its kind". The Signpost observed that attempting to delete an active project was unprecedented. The story itself became a source of controversy which played out at the Discuss This Story section, and also at the author's talk page. Two days after the project was nominated, the Conservatism Portal was also nominated for deletion as "too US-biased". There was no support for deletion amongst the 10 participants, with one suggestion to rename the portal.  In other news, a new portal focusing on conservatism has been created at WikiSource. Wikisource is an online library of free content publications with 254,051 accessible texts. One highlight of the portal's content is Reflections on the Revolution in France by Edmund Burke. October saw a 6.4% increase in new members, bringing the total membership to 58. Seven of the eight new members joined after October 12; the deletion discussions may have played a role in the membership spike. Mwhite148 is a member of the UK Conservative Party. Stating that he is not a conservative, Kleinzach noted his "lifetime interest in British, European and international politics." Let's all make an effort to welcome the new members with an outpouring of Wikilove.

I'd like to have the importance rating, obviously the class assessment doesn't make sense seeing all articles will be apart of other projects. Newfoundlander&Labradorian (talk) 18:16, 28 January 2012 (UTC)
I figured there could be a St. John's specific rating system. The Mayor of St. John's would only be considered low importance for instance in any other project but in relation to St. John's it would be high or top importance. The other thing with having the quality class assessments done as well is that if the table of statistics gets done, which will list all the projects, their importance and rating, then it would be easier to see which articles need work.

DISCUSSION REPORT
Why is Everyone Talking About Rick Santorum?
By Lionelt  Articles about the GOP presidential candidate and staunch traditional marriage supporter have seen an explosion of discussion. On January 8 an RFC was opened (here) to determine if Dan Savage's website link should be included in Campaign for "santorum" neologism. The next day the Rick Santorum article itself was the subject of an RFC (here) to determine if including the Savage neologism was a violation of the BLP policy. Soon after a third was opened (here) at Santorum controversy regarding homosexuality. This RFC proposes merging the neologism article into the controversy article. The Abortion case closed in November after 15 weeks of contentious arbitration. The remedies include semi-protection of all abortion articles (numbering 1,500), sanctions for some editors including members of this Project, and a provision for a discussion to determine the names of what are colloquially known as the pro-life and pro-choice articles. The Committee endorsed the "1 revert rule" for abortion articles.
List of articles to addAs promised, I've started a list of articles that need to be added. It's at Wikipedia:WikiProject St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador/to do. I'll go throuhh Category:St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador after the stats table is done. Argolin (talk) 03:21, 18 February 2012 (UTC)
You're brand new to the assessments? You haven't looked at all the new categories that were set up. Goto Category:Unknown-importance St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador articles. I made it similar to the music one Category:Unknown-importance Canadian music articles. I jazzed up the category when I was new to wiki assessments. Now, I use the page as my "home page". I go there first to see if any articles need an assessment/rating. Then I go to the project to check the article alerts, etc... I'm not saying you have to do the same thing. I am saying that there are tools and places to go for help. You've gotta know where they are! Make sure you go to the /Assessment subpage. There is a wikipedia wide definition of the classes (article & non-article). Don't worry too much about the non-article classes (Template, Category, Project, ...) as I'm adding them. Also there is the importance rating table as maintained by the Canada project. Feel free to ask any questions. If it's not clear to you, it's probalby not clear to someone else. You didn't ask anything so I thought you were up to speed on this aspect of wiki. Argolin (talk) 05:40, 22 February 2012 (UTC)
Poll referenceHi, I'm not opposed to this modification, as I think the article should not give importance to polls sponsored by the candidates (as opposed to independent polls) but, for information, a reference about the removed sentence is available on this website. -- Asclepias (talk) 23:45, 18 February 2012 (UTC)
I've just noticed that the St. John's discussion page is redirected to Newfoundland and Labrador (meaning you are both using the same one). When I posted the articles to add, I didn't state that it was for St. John's. Are you ok with that; is it what you want? It can be corrected/fixed whatever. It won't take three weeks or months... lol Argolin (talk) 23:22, 21 February 2012 (UTC)

Sorry for my rash decision in trimming the candidate list, but that will eventually have to happen on this page. You yourself suggested that Carney, Nenshi and May weren't serious names. Dalton already has a job, and declined the chance to run federally, as did Scott Brison. I know that with some of them we are waiting for a final word as to whether they'll run (i.e. Justin) but others we should start trimming from the list, wouldn't you agree?

If you have evidence to the contrary, please cite it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.195.223.230 (talk) 05:22, 9 June 2013 (UTC)
I just read the St Augustine article, early 1500s is the date; though it was destroyed and rebuilt at different locations more than once. But what I'd like to know, and is vague in the Saint John's article, where I just amended the disputed (and edit-warred sentence), not when it was first settled, which is what is given (1620) but in what year it got city status, which is the pivotal point of dispute, it would seem to me given the tone of that paragraph in the article...I'm still looking for the date of incorporation, User:N&L I imagine or I would hope can tell us that. And re SJ as Moxy observed, perhaps the qualifier "English" should be added to the oldest part; as this is clearly a matter of anglophone bias/premise. The St Augustine article mentions Seminole towns, those of us who know aboriginal history know that the Creek and Cherokee and certainly teh Pueblo and others had what can only be described as cities; Hochelaga, on the site of Montreal and now subsumed into that city, in the same way that Tenochtitlan and Xochimilco and Texcoco and others were subsumed into Mexico City (each of those three and their three or four sister cites around the Lago de Mexico were a hundred times the population of Madrid, London or Milan, then the largest cities in Christendom (the population of Constantinople under Ottoman rule at the time was vastly larger, but I don't know what it was). This whole discussion should probably be cut-and-pasted to the talkpage at St John's, and noticed on WP:Cities. a List of North American cities by date of founding would probably be worthwhile undertaking, with a column for founding, another for incorporation or other formal date of establishment.Skookum1 (talk) 15:56, 9 June 2013 (UTC) St. John's DemographicsHi there.

Because of the large number, it may look unconstructive but the edits are legit. It appears that after using the same links for years, CBC News have a new url format which is causing most of the articles from the previous decade to direct to "page not found." The articles are still there, it's just a matter of searching to find the updated url. I was also attempting to fix the links in your other good article, Kathy Dunderdale, but after going through, searching and changing the links, I messed up and closed the page and couldn't get them back. Because of the time frame, there isn't as many dead links as there was in Williams article, just most of the first column, but it's still a lot of links. Out of frustration and the fact I'm half asleep here, I'm done for tonight, but I will continue to fix as many articles as I can, but thought I would also let you know incase you want to take a look at some of the other articles you wrote to make sure the links are good.

ARBITRATION REPORT
Russian Agents Editing at American Politics?
By Lionelt After a series of unfortunate events largely self-created, bureaucrat and admin Andrevan was the subject of an Arbitration case for conduct unbecoming. Prior to the case getting underway Andrevan resigned as bureaucrat and admin. A widely discussed incident was when he suggested that some editors he described as "pro-Trump" were paid Russian agents. This resulted in a number of editors from varied quarters denouncing the allegations and voicing support for veteran editors including Winkelvi and the notorious MONGO. Editors who faced Enforcement action include SPECIFICO (no action), Factchecker atyourservice (three month topic ban ARBAPDS), Netoholic (no action) and Anythingyouwant (indef topic ban ARBAPDS).

Breitbart Versus Wikipedia
By Lionelt Breitbart News, in response to Facebook's decision to use Wikipedia as a source to fight fake news, has declared war on our beloved pedia. The article in Haaretz describes the Facebook arrangement as Wikipedia's "greatest test in years" as well as a "massive threat" to the encyclopedia that anyone can edit. Breitbart's targeting of Wikipedia has resulted in an "epic battle" with respect to editing at the Breitbart article. The article has also recently experienced a dramatic increase in traffic with 50,000 visitors according to Haaretz. There is no love lost between Breitbart and Wikipedia where editors at the Reliable Sources Noticeboard have criticized the news websites unreliability and have compared it to The Daily Mail.

DISCUSSION REPORT
WikiProject Conservatism Comes Under Fire
By Lionelt WikiProject Conservatism was a topic of discussion at the Administrators' Noticeboard/Incident (AN/I). Objective3000 started a thread where he expressed concern regarding the number of RFC notices posted on the Discussion page suggesting that such notices "could result in swaying consensus by selective notification." Several editors participated in the relatively abbreviated six hour discussion. The assertion that the project is a "club for conservatives" was countered by editors listing examples of users who "profess no political persuasion." It was also noted that notification of WikiProjects regarding ongoing discussions is explicitly permitted by the WP:Canvassing guideline. At one point the discussion segued to feedback about The Right Stuff. Member SPECIFICO wrote: "One thing I enjoy about the Conservatism Project is the handy newsletter that members receive on our talk pages." Atsme praised the newsletter as "first-class entertainment...BIGLY...first-class...nothing even comes close...it's amazing." Some good-natured sarcasm was offered with Objective3000 observing, "Well, they got the color right" and MrX's followup, "Wow. Yellow is the new red." Admin Oshwah closed the thread with the result "definitely not an issue for ANI" and directing editors to the project Discussion page for any further discussion. Editor's note: originally the design and color of The Right Stuff was chosen to mimic an old, paper newspaper.

RECENT RESEARCH
Research About AN/I
By Lionelt Reprinted in part from the April 26, 2018 issue of The Signpost; written by Zarasophos
Out of over one hundred questioned editors, only twenty-seven (27%) are happy with the way reports of conflicts between editors are handled on the Administrators' Incident Noticeboard (AN/I), according to a recent survey . The survey also found that dissatisfaction has varied reasons including "defensive cliques" and biased administrators as well as fear of a "boomerang effect" due to a lacking rule for scope on AN/I reports. The survey also included an analysis of available quantitative data about AN/I. Some notable takeaways:
In the wake of Zarasophos' article editors discussed the AN/I survey at The Signpost and also at AN/I. Ironically a portion of the AN/I thread was hatted due to "off-topic sniping." To follow-up the problems identified by the research project the Wikimedia Foundation Anti-Harassment Tools team and Support and Safety team initiated a discussion. You can express your thoughts and ideas here. (Discuss this story)Delivered: 09:27, 9 July 2018 (UTC) ArbCom 2018 election voter messageHello, Newfoundlander&Labradorian.
