Trout Lake Airport.

I didn't source the info I wrote because doing so was confusing. Here is the link that backed up why I put down that Mount Adams Lumber owns the airport. I also forgot to change the status to privately owned. The information currently displayed by the article is inaccurate. http://www.airnav.com/airport/66WA — Preceding unsigned comment added by CircuitChild (talk • contribs) 14:53, 27 November 2012 (UTC)

A passing

Hello. I'm tremendously sad to hear about Franamax. I knew him slightly in real life. Do you know if there is a service? I would like to attend if it hasn't happened already. The Interior (Talk) 21:36, 30 November 2012 (UTC)

Hello. You have a new message at The Interior#Passing's talk page. The Interior (Talk) 22:00, 1 December 2012 (UTC)

Thank you for letting us know. I'm so sorry. — Ched : ? 21:51, 30 November 2012 (UTC)

Stunning, shocking, to read that news. I found Franamax to be even-handed, good to work with, a fair-dealing admin. Any idea what happened? (Unless it's not for public consumption.) ←Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} carrots→ 03:51, 1 December 2012 (UTC)
- No I don't know what happened. I know he hadn't been around since October. CambridgeBayWeather (talk) 09:43, 1 December 2012 (UTC)

Greetings CambridgeBayWeather. When you posted the courteous notice to my talk page, for quite a while as I was preparing a response, I thought I was addressing Franamax regarding how disturbing it was to hear of your passing. When I realized the error in my perspective, I was happy for you, but of course my sorrow had merely changed its focus. From that experience, in accordance with one of the biggest lamentations on learning someone dear has passed, which is regret for all the things left unsaid, I wanted to say a thing to you, while you are still alive, and me too. You are a wikipedian I respect. I am thankful to have been influenced by your example. And I think you do a tremendous amount of good around here, and I presume everywhere you expend effort. I am thankful that I didn't squander all chances to tell you this, and sorry that I didn't tell Franmax that I felt similarly about him. I wish you all the best. My76Strat (talk) 12:37, 1 December 2012 (UTC)

Following up on discussion I've had with My76Strat, it sounds like you know someone in the family. Could you check and see if they are OK (or not) with posting the URL for his obit here? His own identity is not given here, and while the privacy issue doesn't realy matter to him now, it's still a potential concern for his surviving family. ←Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} carrots→ 05:14, 2 December 2012 (UTC)

Protected John Giuca

From what I can gather you have 'protected' the John Giuca article at the request of Jritts. Jritts is a single use account. Moreover, as can be seen Jritts made edits, then asked for the page to be protected. WP:PREFER "administrators normally protect the current version, except where the current version contains content that clearly violates content policies, such as vandalism, copyright violations, or defamation of living persons. Since protecting the most current version sometimes rewards edit warring by establishing a contentious revision, administrators may also revert to an old version of the page predating the edit war if such a clear point exists. "

At the John Giuca talk page Glaucus said "Just take a peek at the section accusing the DA of inappropriate connections to Cleary's mother. I'm hesitant to remove it wholesale (though it would be acceptable by wiki policy) because I suspect there's reliable semi-secondary sources to support it, but it should be cleaned up ASAP. It's a borderline WP:BLP violation on the mother and the DA as is"

Jritts put that BLP violation back in the article before he had it 'protected'. Current version say "Some have questioned the propriety of Cleary's mother being involved in local politics in the run up to the 2005 election for Brooklyn District Attorney" This is my basically my text but Jritts took out the attribution of that view to Guica supporters that I had included. I explained the need to attribute those kind of views at the John Giuca talk page before I started. And then again on my talk page to Mdavis2, who is a very new single use account as you can see HERE.

Anyway Jritts then added the following, (which is in the current) version "Ms Cleary, who sat on the Kings County Republican Executive Committee, granted DA Hynes a Wilson Pakula, which would thave allowed Hynes to stay in the running even had he lost the Primary.[40]". IMO This is a WP:BLP violation in Wikipedia's voice, or perilously close to it. Overagainst (talk) 17:14, 2 December 2012 (UTC)

Thanks. I removed the sentences as they don't appear to be in the source. CambridgeBayWeather (talk) 17:33, 2 December 2012 (UTC)

Fast. You may be interested in seeing what the page looked like before I started editing it. (Synth allegations about complicity in the murder by named living persons who were witnesses, allegations stated as fact about the private lives of witnesses). I had got the basic shape of the article right, but was far from finished, and was planning on adding moving and deleting refs. At presentsome are not in the appropriate place. Overagainst (talk) 17:54, 2 December 2012 (UTC)

BTW, I don't think that kind of thing (what you removed) ought to be in an article at all if it's stated in Wikipedia's voice. Even if there is a good ref, such views ought to be attributed.Overagainst (talk) 19:27, 3 December 2012 (UTC)

Bom Bom

You obviously didn't bother to look at the page history, because if you did you would have clearly see three separate IPs vandalize the article. Till 22:49, 2 December 2012 (UTC)

Request

I appreciate seeing you were moved to post the "honour" I've worked on for Franamax. I take that as a strong endorsement that it conveys a proper message in accordance with where my hopes were placed in taking the endeavor. I've tested the template for all manner of transcluding and substitution and all test's are favorable. I've copy-edited the presentation to my best ability, and am satisfied that my goal is intact. I have two request's, firstly, unless there's a reason not to, I'd like to request it be transcluded to the top of Franamax's user page. Secondly, I request that you fully protect the templates location at User:Franamax/Honour for obvious reasons, and that my need to edit there is complete. Thank you for considering this request. Best regards, My76Strat (talk) 03:21, 4 December 2012 (UTC)

Unionville, Ontario

Hi, you helped us back in May by semi-protecting this article. The community has a few unregistered users who make changes but refuse to identify themselves. They had amassed a bunch of small changes over the last 6 months, some of which I missed, and some that I just allowed to stay, even though I was doubtful about them. On rereading the article recently I found a number of typos, and some changes that didn't even make sense. On Dec. 5, I therefore reverted the article to Aug 2., as that was the last version I had much confidence in! Two days later, one of these unregistered users (184.146.111.37) put a number of incorrect and/or misspelled changes back in. I am therefore requesting permanent semi-protection. If this person wishes to contest some of the statements in the article, I feel he or she should contact me or the Unionville Historical Society (UHS) directly, instead of just causing work for myself and members of the UHS that I keep having to get involved. I have asked this person to identify him/herself, but so far no luck, and as you may remember, this has been going on for months!

To give you a flavour, I am including the first few paras of a note from a member of the UHS that I asked for an opinion:

...whoever is making changes has a sense of the history & good intentions but is lacking some facts. It may be possible that, through iteration, we can get the history part straightened out. There are some other parts that are politically driven, so getting a consensus on them may be problematic. ...
However, three things stood out that are just plain wrong:
1. Neighbourhoods Angus Glen, Berczy Village, South Unionville, & Cachet, yes. Brown's Corners, maybe. Victoria Square, Cachel (actually it is Cashel), Almira & Buttonville, definitely not. Buttonville was never part of Unionville.
2. Markville is mentioned. Markville was created on farmland around 30 years ago, to house a shopping centre! It never had municipal status.
3. The railway is mentioned. The railway reached Coboconk (67 miles NE) in 1872, with a 27-mile branch line from Stouffville to Jackson Point. It never went to Lindsay. ...

This UHS member, and possibly others, will be providing me with more feedback as time goes on, but it is very difficult making changes to a moving target! He and I have actually come up with an improved format for the festivals, that does not require constant updating, but I dread waking up one morning and finding it has been reverted to the previous mess! Please consider permanently semi-protecting this article, and maybe we can persuade these unregistered users to come out of the shadows! TIA Jpaulm (talk) 18:55, 10 December 2012 (UTC)

Many thanks, but how come it says "expires 23:13, 11 December 2012 (UTC)) ‎[move=autoconfirmed] (expires 23:13, 11 December 2012 (UTC)" - sounds like a day, not a month...! Jpaulm (talk) 01:38, 11 December 2012 (UTC)

That's great - thanks! Not complaining, mind you, but how come we can't get an indefinite semi-protect? The article on the Phaistos disk, which is a subject I am interested in, has an indefinite semi-protect, dating back to Apr. 2009... Just curious...?! Jpaulm (talk) 20:13, 11 December 2012 (UTC)

Why you edited link of Shia Template

This [Template] is of Shia Twelver. So it should show Shia View of Ali. Please dont be biased. This [Template] is of Sunni Islam and its showing Sunni view of Ali i.e Ali.SpidErxD (talk) 16:51, 15 December 2012 (UTC)

On similar note as you said "This [Template] is of Sunni Islam and its showing Sunni view of Ali" but it direct to the main article Ali not Sunni view of Ali. Mostly the proper way is to direct to the main article. As depicting NPOV.But if you keep on isolating articles to the main article as here here here that would be a problem. Similarly if you are reverted by editors 2 or 3 times the best way is to start a consensus. -- Ibrahim ebi (talk) 07:44, 18 December 2012 (UTC)

Arctic Bay Airport

Hi Cambay! I hope that it's not too cold up there! It finally dawned on me that the comments of the Arctic Bay airport has a line about twin otters landing on the road prior to the construction of the new airport. Actually that is not correct. There was a short runway built for the twin otter size about a hundred yards north of the new runway. If you look at google earth you'll see a short strip. The east end of that is where the new terminal is located. I actually have a picture I'll be adding on the page that shows a required "X" to show the abandoned strip. I found that while cleaning up some of my photo's. That should satisfy my explanation. As a second question, there is an abandoned research site located on Devon Island that was called "True Love The Arctic research Institute of North America. If you check google you can find my photos. It's on the north end of Devon. I could not find any info about it on this site so could I start a page with it and put some general info on it or am I not seeing an existing page? Cheers tim Timkal (talk) 02:01, 18 December 2012 (UTC)

Edit war

Your recent editing history shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. Being involved in an edit war can result in you being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

To avoid being blocked, instead of reverting please consider using the article's talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. See BRD for how this is done. You can post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection. --Paranero (talk) 17:54, 20 December 2012 (UTC)

Hi, CambridgeBayWeather! Many thanks for the current semi-protection on this article! The culprits are now putting stuff into the Talk page - I think one was a request for a change, which was thankfully blocked by RudolphRed. The second one (today) is in caps!!! This person (persons?) persists in this kind of activity, but we can't figure out who they are so we can have a civilized discussion! Any idea what else we can do to control this - it's getting pretty annoying! BTW The Unionville Historical Society is using this welcome break from harassment to fix up the article, and make it as solid as possible, but this will get harder after Jan. 11! :-) Permanent semi-protection would be very nice... hint, hint? :-) Happy New Year anyway!

April - National Contribution Month

Good day CambridgeBayWeather,

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.

Unionville, Ontario (again - sorry!)

Hi CBW! Happy New Year!

Our one-month semi-protection expired Jan. 11, and we used the time productively to make the article as good as we could, and get it reviewed by a number of people. However, 2 days ago one of our usual suspects struck again (Jan. 26). The IP address is 184.147.52.65 - these IP addresses shift around a bit (although the first byte seems to stay the same), so I don't know if we can block him/her. However, long-term semi-protection would fit the bill - hopefully long enough for this person to give up and find other pursuits! Permanent semi-protection would be even better! :-) BTW A real (i.e. registered) person made a small (valid) change after the 26th, so we have kept that change. Anyway, help would be much appreciated! TIA Jpaulm (talk) 00:23, 29 January 2013 (UTC)

Neuville airport

Hi CambridgeBayWeather. User Bouchecl just added some header in the article Québec/Neuville Airport http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Qu%C3%A9bec/Neuville_Airport&diff=538439559&oldid=538045642 I don't think he's right. I'm having an argument with him on the french wikipedia about the same airport. This airport is very new and small but it is known across all Quebec because of the controversies it has created. So the main point talking about it here is the controversies. User Bouchecl was recruited by a pro-aviation writer to try to rewrite the neuville airport article in french but his draft is really not neutral.

For example if we talk about Al Capone we will not start a lenghty story about what he eats or what he does as a hobby, we talk about what he is know for: his criminal activities. If we tlak about Neuville airport it's kind of the same thin, we will talk about the controversies for what it is know.--Jstrob (talk) 18:29, 15 February 2013 (UTC)

Québec/Neuville Airport

Sorry to barge in with this cross-wiki dispute. After Jstrob (talk · contribs) ~~and vienneauluc (talk · contribs)~~ fought here on Québec/Neuville Airport last week, ~~they moved their~~ the spat moved to the French version of this article, Aéroport de Neuville. Following a similar pattern than the one shown in the English version history, the WP:3RR rule failed to calm down the dispute. But, contrary to what happened on en: the page attracted attention of other Quebec editors and has been put on full protection for three days, starting February 13.

As an experienced Quebec-based editor, thus far uninvolved with the dispute, I moved in to the talk page and proposed a 1,700-word version of the article, fully sourced, adopting a strict neutral point of view and featuring more reliable material (over 45 sources, mostly from news stories about the dispute). Jstrob stated quite forcefully that he disagreed with what he called substantive issues in my version, and there was a proposal to translate the English article to French. After reading it, I immediately pointed out that it failed mimimal fr: standards on neutrality and sourcing and added the {{multiple issues}} banner here. As a strong adherent of the {{cite}} templates, I added that one to the lot.

Right now, the new version is being combed by fr:Utilisateur:Racconish (also active here: Racconish (talk · contribs)), an experienced mediator, used with Israel-Palestine articles on fr:. Four issues are discussed and resolved one by one. One issue has been resolved so far. I have prepared a draft version of the current version of the proposed replacement into Englsh and I keep it current off-line. I'll be happy to share it with the en: community after the issues raised by Jstrob (talk · contribs) are mediated. Sorry for the ruckus. Bouchecl (talk) 02:30, 17 February 2013 (UTC)

Bouchecl just replaced everything by his own version without debating it first. Being aware of neuville airport since the beginning I can say his version is erroneous and is faor more flatering to the aiprort promoters than reality. I don't understand why someone can write his own POV in a wikipedia article like this. For sure not many people on Wikipedia are aware of what really happened in this smal village, and there are a lot of articles to read before understanding it well so it's difficult to see all the lies. What is the best thing to do?--24.226.173.161 (talk) 14:11, 22 February 2013 (UTC)

Hey there! I've been going around pressing the random button, and I noticed that Arnes Airport has the call letters struck out in the lead and in the infobox and that it was your work. I'm not an airport expert or anything in any sense, but I'm curious. Why did you do this? –T C N7JM 03:49, 16 March 2013 (UTC)

Muhammad in Islam violates Neutral point of view

This article is pure muslim propaganda, includes references to moral decadence from jews, and claim Islam is the only true religion. Where is NPOV?. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kabalakhbar (talk • contribs) 22:03, 18 March 2013 (UTC)

Re: UK airports

Thanks for your comments. As regards conversions, I have found that there are several templates apparently in use and not all seem to accept a length in metres to convert to feet, but will do the other way round. But, given as runway length is officially promulgated in metres, it is that figure which is accurate. I've encountered similar problems for elevation, officially promulgated in feet but required on some pages to be given also in metres. Emeraude (talk) 16:43, 22 March 2013 (UTC)

Gold Range Article

The CBC article does not use the word 'expropriation' per se. However, in combination with the previously cited sources, it is clear that Council intends to expropriate rather than 'purchase.' Under domestic law when property is expropriated, compensation must be given. But the term 'purchase' implies a totally voluntary sale. It is obvious from both sources read together that it is not a voluntary sale.Billturner1983 (talk) 22:53, 9 April 2013 (UTC)

Agreed. CBC has released a correction stating that the city did not in fact say it would be used as a parking lot. That was a CBC screw up. As for expropriation, it is my understanding negotiations have long since failed and that is documented in the media. I understood the CBC article stating council is going ahead with the purchse is code for expropriation. But in any case, I agree we can wait until something concrete is actually done. From what I understand it needs to be approved by the NWT Legislative Assembly anyway. Billturner1983 (talk) 23:08, 9 April 2013 (UTC)

Iqaluit

Based on nothing other than happening to see your user name around today, which made me wonder "What is that guy's name about?" I did some clicking and ended up watching this. What an amazing-looking place Iqaluit is. By sort-of absolute coincidence I've always used Iqaluit as my go-to "I bet there's no populated place in the world colder than there right now this winter!" location. I didn't even know Iqaluit was near Cambridge Bay. That's all I stopped by to say, really... have a good weekend. Zad68 19:09, 26 April 2013 (UTC)

Template:Infobox nhsc

Been a while.

Can you look at {{Infobox nhsc}} which you have edited in the past. I believe that it is inserting a blank line at the very beginning adding extra white space on the pages where this is used. I was not able to find exactly where this blank line is coming from. Thanks. Vegaswikian (talk) 23:38, 29 April 2013 (UTC)

Good work. In have been wondering if the best approach would be to just convert it to use {{infobox}} and model if after {{Infobox NRHP}}? Do that would simplify the logic and make inclusion in {{Infobox building}} feasible so information not included in the box, but used in the building one, displayable in one infobox. Vegaswikian (talk) 18:55, 30 April 2013 (UTC)

I'm testing a version for {{Infobox hotel}} at User:Vegaswikian/Infobox hotel1. I suppose if you can help me test and fix both, I can do the basics for the nhsc. I know that the coordinates section needs work on the hotel one. Vegaswikian (talk) 20:29, 30 April 2013 (UTC)

India Statistic Vandal

Hi there! I'm getting sick and tired of having to monitor the India Statistics Vandal [1], who randomly changes statistics across mostly airport articles. AIV and ANI often result in slow response and I hate having to explain it again and again. I wonder if you can help me protect some articles for a few months or a year. The latest IP this morning accumulated a pretty typical list of his favorites: [2] HkCaGu (talk) 18:37, 16 April 2013 (UTC)

Thanks for the help! If I see some other favorite targets of his, I'll add them here. HkCaGu (talk) 19:01, 16 April 2013 (UTC)

I don't know how to tag this

Partly because I'm just waking up; was going to drop by here to tell you about the CfRs on Sto:lo, St'at'imc and Nuxalk categories but this is on my watchlist.......WP:Bulletin Board maybe, don't wanna be too harsh on them as I understand the sensitivities etc.....this one even lists the people who work at the gas bar .... WP:Wikipedia is not a directory but there's some better way to tag this so they don't do it again, no?Skookum1 (talk) 02:13, 4 May 2013 (UTC)

Fixed it, have a look. There are many band and town articles on this problem, is there a a template somewhere that could be used? I put a hidden comment at the start of the section in question. When you get a chance, if you're in the mood, but also because you're someone aware of Canadian FN and aboriginal nomenclature, having a look at the May 3 and May 4 CfDs re, gawd, all of the Squamish, St'at'imc, Sto:lo, Nuxalk and Cree items? I may have missed one....it's getting confusing....Skookum1 (talk) 05:53, 5 May 2013 (UTC)

Unionville, Ontario

Hi, sorry to bother you again on this ridiculous saga! Don't know if you remember, but one or more IP address users keep trying to change this article to their own version of reality. You kindly put a 3-month semi-protect on the article, which expired on April 29. On May 2 (today) he or she must have noticed that the semi-protect was off, and tried again (I have reversed it). Our Historical Society thinks they know who the person is, but for some reason does not want to beard them in their den! This wastes everybody's time! Couldn't we just put a nice long semi-protect on the article, such as permanent or 5 years?! After all, registered users have been able to update it during this period, and their suggestions were constructive. Thanks in advance! Jpaulm (talk) 17:03, 2 May 2013 (UTC)

Many thanks! That's great! I will let the various Villagers' associations know - it should be quite a relief! Jpaulm (talk) 01:27, 4 May 2013 (UTC)

Looks like our friend tried to undo your tag by changing yes to no - this was picked up and responded to by ElHef... Maybe we could try warning him or her - or is there a stronger sanction available?! TIA Jpaulm (talk) 14:47, 4 May 2013 (UTC)

Thanks! Is there a template for IP address users, e.g. "you may not be the same person, but..."? Jpaulm (talk) 14:23, 6 May 2013 (UTC)

That's great! I'll try one of those - I will try to figure out which is the most appropriate. Thanks much! Jpaulm (talk) 14:15, 7 May 2013 (UTC)

Colour of weatherboxes

Subtropical-man has recently made a mass revert of many weatherboxes on articles that I usually edit, saying that I am using non-standard colours and he is threatening to open a discussion in order to block me from any more edits. I know that other editors use non-standard colours as well, meaning that he is singling me out for my recent edits. I did not do anything bad such as vandalizing pages or continuously adding POV edits/controversial facts. Even though I have told him/her about the problems of using blue colours in certain climates and certain articles (examples: Calgary, Edmonton, and Toronto), he still continues to just changed the colours, even though they may cause blending of blue colours, making it hard to read. Although I respect his opinion, in this case, it feels like he is trying to push his opinions to force me to accept them. How should this dispute be resolved before an edit war can occur.Ssbbplayer (talk) 15:27, 2 May 2013 (UTC)

If user Ssbbplayer do not stop massively change the standards colours to non-standard colours in the weatherboxes in very many articles, I'll have to open the case in AN/I (or similar page) in his case. User Ssbbplayer currently and in the last months pushing non-standard colours (pastels, green) in climate sections of very many articles. If case concerned a few of articles, this ok BUT mass changes in very many articles must have a consensus. Not important is personal opinion about colors by Ssbbplayer, me and other. Ssbbplayer like green and pastels because not blending of blue colours, I like pink, other user like black - it does not matter. To make mass changes in very many articles, must to be consensus. Administrator User:Djsasso helped me undo new reverts by Ssbbplayer, thanks. Ssbbplayer, you want to changes on a massive scale on Wikipedia? OK, first - consensus. Subtropical-man (talk) 16:26, 2 May 2013 (UTC)

This issue is not like the common issue of placing controverisal edits and then edit-warring over the content. A consensus is an ideal idea but the main problem is that climate is one of the most under edited sections and is rarely discussed. That is why many climate edits tend to stay there for a long time.Ssbbplayer (talk) 16:36, 2 May 2013 (UTC)

"A consensus is an ideal idea" - yes, and the only possibility. You can try to first get a consensus on the Wikipedia:WikiProject Meteorology. By the way: "I guess the discussion should now move to the Village Pump to get a broader consensus" - opinion by user Calimo and supported by CambridgeBayWeather. There is still a compromise solution - color changes in infobox to violet [3]. Subtropical-man (talk) 16:40, 2 May 2013 (UTC)

There should be more opinions on the discussion on the colours to be used in the weather box, currently only 4 or 5 users have voiced their opinions which is not enough. Ssbbplayer (talk) 18:05, 14 May 2013 (UTC)

There is currently a vote on deciding with colours schemes should be used in the weather box. Putting in more votes would make the discussion more meaningful. Ssbbplayer (talk) 16:11, 16 May 2013 (UTC)

re: jannah

It is not within the Islamic Adab (etiquette) to have pictures. Like churches and hindus praise and picture and idolise their artwork and statues.. we do not. Islam does not do this. We do not allow pictures nor concepts of Prophets or concepts. Including paradise. That is why I removed it.. will continue to remove it and other photos on other islamic articles.

Thank you

re: jannah2

I am not from a sect.

This is not how some "sects" feel. That is a highly ignorant statement to make. Who gave you such authority? It causes offence. Wikipedia I enjoy reading from time to time but seeing images trying to represent Prophets, Islamic Concepts pollute the mind like Television. It is like filling a good book with images to appease or pollute. It is not offensive, not liked, not frowned upon - it is forbidden. Never put a question mark where God puts a full stop.

I would appreciate your collaboration on this matter. I will continue to make changes across the Wikipedia Network regardless. That is not a treat.

(Remove coordinates)

Why? Cheers, Pdfpdf (talk) 00:33, 12 June 2013 (UTC)

Because it's a WP:Disambiguation page and they should have no external links or more than one link per line. Plus I've never seen map links in disambiguation page before. CambridgeBayWeather (talk) 00:43, 12 June 2013 (UTC)

Thanks.

a) Are coordinates classed as an external link? I suppose they are.

b) Actually, that's one blue link per line.

c) I'm sure there are many things you have never seen before, (and never will see).

Obviously, I think they are useful/helpful, (but then, I would, wouldn't I ... ) After all, it is a {{geodab}}, not just a {{dab}}.

Still, as you say, I guess coordinates are external links. Pdfpdf (talk) 02:17, 12 June 2013 (UTC)

Appropriate action?

Since I have been discussing about the colours used in the weather box, I have noticed that every time I try to create a new proposal, I always receive negative responses from other users (sometimes they say "inappropriate", "illogical", "Ble ble ble", "absurd", "wrong"). I know that I sometimes make mistakes but this is just my opinion and doing this way further agitates me. When other users put their ideas forward (sometimes a similar idea to mine), they do not receive negative responses from other users. Is this type of action appropriate?

These two edtiors Toddy1 and MezzoMezzo are really on a campaign to get me blocked. This MezzoMezzo has contacted WP Admin Dianaa, and then editor Someguy1221. He seems to be on a campaign to round up as many people as he can to accomplish God knows what. I hope you had a chance to read my last two responses in the Muawiyah I Talk Page under the Edit Conflict section. In my perception, both those editors have lost a lot of credibility just by the way they are handling this and the unfounded acccusations they are hurling. Please look into this and see if a neutral WP Admin can put a halt to this rather petty campaign of maligning my contribution and effort in the Muawiyah I article. --Flagrantedelicto (talk) 02:23, 21 June 2013 (UTC)
