User talk:PKT/Archive 2017Hi PKT, I was just sticking in some references. Even had an edit conflict with your message while inserting these. I usually get a little window of opportunity by some status that someone once assigned to me. I'm writing and editing here forever, never bother much with rights. I know there are vast amounts of folks who just dump stories that cannot and will not be seriously referenced. Just thought that my experience could also be helpful for your continued success! gidonb (talk) 18:41, 14 January 2017 (UTC) Coordinates for Telus Garden articleHi PKT. Thank you for adding coordinates to the Tsawwassen Mills article. It would be great if you could add coordinates to the infobox of the Telus Garden article. I tried using the tool from WMF Labs, but was a couple of blocks off the correct location. Thank you! Daylen (talk) 21:10, 15 January 2017 (UTC)

Communities Project, Canada, problemGood afternoon, PKT. You had given me some useful tips at the Community project Talk page WP:Canadian communities. Would you agree to take a look at the lead for another one? West Montrose, Ontario. I have been working to improve many articles about small towns and cities in Southern Ontario, Canada including West Montrose, Ontario. When I first got involved (March 29) there was not a single citation. I added new content and added citations. Suddenly, we have a long, ongoing argument at the Talk page about the very short lead. Because the Talk content is so extensive, and hence confusing, it's tough to get anyone from the Feedback Service involved to try to cut through all that and help us get a Consensus. The only real issues (as I see them) are: 1. Does this community have Old Order Mennonites who drive horse and buggies. (That content has been in the article since 2007 and I did not change it. I just added citations.) Very recently however, this became a huge item of contention. 2. Is West Montrose, Ontario just a small core with a bridge and a few houses or is it a more extensive area. (The citations confirm that this rural farming region with a few small villages has many Old Order Mennonites but because West Montrose is tiny, they do not specifically discuss this community.) 3. There were also debates as to what is, or is not, a reliable source, although I believe we have a consensus (though definitely not unanimous!) as to which are reliable sources. The actual content of the lead is very short but the Talk section goes on and on and on with debates. (Admittedly, some of those are my posts.) Cheers!

Speedy deletion converted to PROD: BatcoreHello PKT. I am just letting you know that I have converted the speedy deletion tag that you placed on Batcore to a proposed deletion tag, because I do not believe CSD applies to the page in question. Thank you. Adam9007 (talk) 17:01, 3 June 2017 (UTC)
Quick question out of curiosityHi PKT, Thanks for this edit. I saw it come by on my watchlist. However, it also triggered my curiosity - why did you change "[[Colombia|Colombian]]" to "[[Colombia]]n"? What's bad about the previous situation? Thanks for explaining, maybe I'm just not aware of something. effeietsanders 21:45, 4 July 2017 (UTC)
Refrain...Hi PKT. Please stop patrolling articles now – your patrolling does not appear to be in accordance with the instructions at New Page Patrol. Specifically, in your patrol of Visorhead you tagged it with WP:BLPPROD which was not at all suitable.It is not a biography.. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask me on my talk page.

Assessment for WikiProject CanadaHi! I noticed your name at Wikipedia:WikiProject Canada/Assessment and also at The 10,000 Challenge.

Hi PKT. Are you sure these pages are dabs and not set-index articles? Per WP:SETNOTDAB, I find it likelier that they are the latter.--Nevé–selbert 19:16, 14 September 2017 (UTC)
Your contributed article, Parbati rai dancer
Hello, I noticed that you recently created a new page, Parbati rai dancer. First, thank you for your contribution; Wikipedia relies solely on the efforts of volunteers such as you. Unfortunately, the page you created covers a topic on which we already have a page – Parbati Rai (dancer). Because of the duplication, your article has been tagged for speedy deletion. Please note that this is not a comment on you personally and we hope you will continue helping to improve Wikipedia. If the topic of the article you created is one that interests you, then perhaps you would like to help out at Parbati Rai (dancer). If you have new information to add, you might want to discuss it at the article's talk page. If you think the article you created should remain separate, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "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. Additionally if you would like to have someone review articles you create before they go live so they are not nominated for deletion shortly after you post them, allow me to suggest the article creation process and using our search feature to find related information we already have in the encyclopedia. Try not to be discouraged. Wikipedia looks forward to your future contributions. Robert McClenon (talk) 20:02, 18 September 2017 (UTC)

Alex Shih (talk) 03:25, 4 December 2017 (UTC) Wikipedia Visiting Scholars at WindsorHi there, I work on the Wikipedia Visiting Scholars program in my role with Wiki Education. I've been talking to someone at the University of Windsor about sponsoring a Visiting Scholar and hope to get your thoughts about the subject. The basic idea of the program is that a university gives remote library access (ebooks, databases, etc.) to an experienced Wikipedian capable of using those resources to improve articles in an area of mutual interest. In other words, it's a pretty easy-going relationship intended to empower a Wikipedian in their editing while increasing the impact of a library's holdings. UWindsor would like to support someone interested to write about the history of southwestern Ontario. In my experience, it can be challenging to find the right person given a geographically limited topic scope, but I wanted to get your take. The first question would be whether this sort of program would be interesting to you personally. Second question is what your sense is of how many editors actively contribute to such articles? The opportunity hasn't been formally announced yet -- I'm just doing some advance research at this point. :) Thanks for your time. --Ryan (Wiki Ed) (talk) 22:49, 6 December 2017 (UTC) Very important tagsHi and thank you for putting a warning at the top of Khai khrop alerting readers that the citation style used therein might be unclear to them. But the article contains a sum total of five citations, so my understanding of you action was that in choosing not to undertake the trivial task of fixing them and instead opting to put a big sign at the top of the article you were simply being too polite and wary of imposing your own citation style. I removed the tag with an indication that any style you choose will be accepted. But you seem to have foregone the opportunity to make the changes you deem necessary and have simply put the tag back on. Now I am perplexed and I am wondering whether I might not have misconstrued your intention. – Uanfala (talk) 01:26, 7 December 2017 (UTC)
