Sorry about changing UAW to CAW in one of the articles that you edited. I didn't know that the UAW back in or still in Canada. I had assumed, incorrectly it seems, that all of the locals went over to CAW when that union was formed. Thanks for your great work on the riding articles.

UAW in Wallaceburg

No Problem, Ground Zero. UAW Local 251 was the only UAW local in Canada to reject joining the CAW in the 1980's. NDP Johnny 20:40, 2 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

AfD

Hi Ndpjohnny, I noticed your supportive vote on Niki Ashton, and found a similiar AfD on a young NDP candidate in the 2006 election that's already had one AfD vote to Keep. Right now it's hovering, and just needs your Keep vote. Please go here Thanks. CanadianElection 10:34, 20 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The AfD defaulted to Keep on the second AfD, but the article was speedily deleted anyway. Please vote undelete on the deletion review[here]. Thanks.

Here's a better [link]. GSinclair 07:08, 26 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Sockpuppet

[People are accusing you of being a sockpuppet] because you voted Keep in an AfD. Be careful, they are blocking practically everybody. They blocked me. Gsinclair 00:33, 3 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Edmonton meetup

Hello - I'm contacting you with this message because you have listed youself in Category:Wikipedians in Edmonton - if you are not actually in Edmonton, I apologize for bothering you; unfortunately, the sort of spamming I'm doing isn't conducive to reading everybody's userpages thoroughly. I am investigating the possibility of creating a Wikipedia meetup in Edmonton for sometime during the spring or summer of 2008. If you're interested, please visit Wikipedia:Meetup/Edmonton, add yourself to the list of interested editors, and watchlist the page.

In addition, to insure verifiability, all biographies should be based on reliable sources. if you were to bring these articles up to standards, it would greatly help us with the current 139 article backlog.

Peer Review: David Lewis (politician)

Hi Ndpjohnny, wondering if you'd be interested in peer reviewing an article I've been working on over the past few years, David Lewis (politician). It recently went through a major rewrite, and I would really like to get this article up to feature status. Take care, --Abebenjoe (talk) 19:52, 20 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Notification: changes to "Mark my edits as minor by default" preference

Hello there. This is an automated message to tell you about the gradual phasing out of the preference entitled "Mark all edits minor by default", which you currently have (or very recently had) enabled.

On 13 March 2011, this preference was hidden from the user preferences screen as part of efforts to prevent its accidental misuse (consensus discussion). This had the effect of locking users in to their existing preference, which, in your case, was true. To complete the process, your preference will automatically be changed to false in the next few days. This does not require any intervention on your part and you will still be able to manually mark your edits as being 'minor'. The only thing that's changed is that you will no longer have them marked as minor by default.

For established users such as yourself there is a workaround available involving custom JavaScript. If you are familiar with the contents of WP:MINOR, and believe that it is still beneficial to the encyclopedia to have all your edits marked as such by default, then this discussion will give you the details you need to continue with this functionality indefinitely. If you have any problems, feel free to drop me a note.

Thank you for your understanding and happy editing :) Editing on behalf of User:Jarry1250, LivingBot (talk) 18:59, 14 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

User category proposed deletion

You may be interested in Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2021 August 21#Category:Wikipedians who know where their towel is. It is proposed to delete this category. SpinningSpark 16:32, 30 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of Paul Moth

The article Paul Moth has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

This page has had the banner for not meeting notability guidelines since January 2010 (over 10+ years), its also barely been edited since around 2012, and the page doesn't cite any sources. Given the reasons stated, I propose the page be deleted.

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.

This bot DID NOT nominate any of your contributions for deletion; please refer to the history of each individual page for details. Thanks, FastilyBot (talk) 09:00, 28 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
