Welcome

Welcome to Wikipedia. I noticed you "sign" articles by adding your name to the talk page. There's really no need as the "history" tab keeps track of your exact contributions to that page. The discussion page should be used for actual discussions on the contents of the article. Just a friendly pointer on the conventions within Wikipedia. Again, welcome and hope you enjoy your time here. Samw 03:12, 28 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Request for Arbitration

I've filed a request for arbitration regarding the Paulus issue here. If it is accepted by the admins you can present your side of the dispute there. - mixvio 01:14, 6 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Suggestion

There are a couple of MPs who aren't undecided but rather 'Neutral' - which is different because they will never move into another column. Graham (Interim Leader) and LeBlanc (Convention Co-Chair) for sure - and possibly Robillard (as deputy leader) and Bonin (National Caucus Chair) also come to mind. Senator Austin is also Neutral.

Should probably count "06 candidate" before you count PCs, as there are overlap and the number of defeated candidates (306 minus #ofMPs) is much more definite than PCs (virtually impossible to keep track of which PCs still hold a valid membership, and who is in good enough health to attend convention).

A neutral catagory for all catagory of ex-o, not just MP and senators, would be advisible. You also need a list of national exec who have declared neutral for a seat on the leadership expense committee... that would account for lots of the Prov Prez as well. There are around 20 ex-o on that committee.

Not all past MPs are PCs (note Marlene Catterall), so if they did not run in 06, they are not ex-o.

How solid of "source" are you expecting? The Bennett campaign for example, will likely not post an endorsement page due to numbers, but quite a number of past women candidates (e.g. Mary Pynenburg, Kate Wilson, Siobhan Coady) has been visbly campaigning for her in various party function. This to me is more reliable than sources from hilltimes.

Thanks for noticing Catterall. I must have confused her with Jennings. As for counting order, I essentially count people in the "highest possible" category, with MPs > Sens > Privy Councillors > 06 Candidates > others. The order on my user page is essentially just as I thought of them originally. As for extra-parliamentary neutral figures, there is quite possibly not enough time in the world (that's why there's not a list of them like there is for MPs & Sens, which is what this list just started as). (The "weighting", incidentally, is done by province to account for regional strengths & weaknesses.)

As for sources, I'm pretty easy. Generally, anything from a blog entry upwards. If you find anything let me know here. I might even be convinced by a message on my talk page, giving some sort of detail (location, date, etc.)... --Hamiltonian 20:27, 30 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Are you planning to publish this? BTW am happy to continually feed you declared name that I notice. Please email me. And the following ExOs have declared for Ignatieff on his site which you have yet tracked: - Sukh Dhaliwal, MP Newton - North Delta - Chuck Mrena, President - St. Boniface FLA - Allen Mills, President - Winnipeg South Centre FLA - Marcel Juneau, President – Pitt Meadows-Maple Ridge-Mission FLA - Jacques Leger, President – New Westminster-Coquitlam FLA - Tanya Parks, Past Candidate - Transcona-Elmwood - Marcelle Mersereau, Past Candidate - Acadie Bathurst[1] The following ExO have declared for Rae on his site which you have yet tracked: - Al Graham (the site listed him as "former senator", which is not ex-o... but he is ex-o by nature of being privy councillor for being senator leader under chretien) --Milton Chan 01:02, 10 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Talk:Michael Ignatieff

I wondered if you wanted to make any more comments on the points listed, or if you had addressed the subjects you wished to as far as you want to go. Tyrenius 16:53, 19 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, I had to overwrite. Do you mind reinstating your very recent post? Tyrenius 18:21, 21 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. I'd just changed all the titles to sub-headings so sections could be edited individually and also be located in the Table of Contents at the top, and it took too long to start again following an edit conflict with you! Tyrenius 18:30, 21 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Diagnosis: Murder

I have recently revamped the Diagnosis Murder page, including puuting in seperate pages for the 5 TV Movies and individual episodes. Could you stop redirecting these episode pages from "EPISODE NAME (Diagnosis Murder Episode)" to "EPISODE NAME (Diagnosis Murder episode)" as it messes up the templates i have in place, however if you feel its nescesarry to continue doing this can you inform me of the pages you have changed and will change so that i can update the templates i have made. Pat 18:10, 6 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Diagnosis Murder...Again

It's me again i have been back and redirected all the pages so they have lowercase "episode" and i have updated the templates. Thanks for co-operating Pat 20:25, 6 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

No Problem

Heh, I was reading the comments, and noticed that you contradicted yourself within two edits, so I looked at the history and saw that your signature had been stuck in the middle of the anon user's.

Now, I must admit I am confused by the new deletions to the list. By definition, What is an "Inernet Phenomenon"? Up to this point, I thought I had an understanding, but the recent deletions have baffled me. For ex. Cindy Margolis (became famous because of the Internet, but is'nt an Internet phenomenon?). I'm not taking sides here or anything, I'm just genuinely confused... Thanks. Wavy G 04:50, 17 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I see. An Internet phenomenon is something that is "spread" across the Internet. I was thinking "became famous on the Internet" (which, I could only assume, is what everyone who throws something onto the list must be thinking). Okay, it makes sense now. I just wanted to be on the same page, here.

I think it must be that everyone has their own idea of what fits the definition, and no one wants to worry about the details. Maybe if the opening paragraph clarified the definition (but like you said, it need to come to a consensus), it might deter some of the people from adding non-notable entries, or non-phemonena. Wavy G 05:26, 17 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Stop deleting internet memes.

Seriously, you've deleted several articles because you've "questioned their memeness", regardless of popularity. E.G, the didsscussion about the Avenue Q song "the Internet is for porn", many people on the internet know about it. So please, stop deleting them because you think that they're not memes. 67.174.242.227 13:22, 3 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I don't know if you'll see this because you're not registered, but I've actually completely abandoned the internet memes article because it's absolutely awful. The article is without aim, and without purpose. It lacks a clear definition. It does not provide sources. It is blatantly unencyclopedic. It has become shockingly useless. Rather than trying to improve it based on accepted Wikipedia standards I have decided to leave it to others and even if I see it become a string of useless bits of information (as it now is) I don't really care any more. --Hamiltonian 14:36, 3 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. When you recently edited 1991 ATP Tour, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Scott Davis, Robin White and Jeremy Bates (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Proposed deletion of List of mayors of Burlington, Ontario

The article List of mayors of Burlington, Ontario has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Unsourced and not properly formatted (just a list of names and years, no other context provided).

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.
