Canada provincial relief maps

I've come across the excellent relief maps you've done of BC and Alberta (Image:BC-relief.png and Image:AB-Relief.jpg)), and I was wondering (for private uses) if you have available similar maps for the other provinces. Tompw 23:59, 24 September 2006 (UTC)

I didn't make relief maps for other provinces so far, but I have all the necessary data, so I could create them when I find the time (possibly this week). --Qyd 00:15, 25 September 2006 (UTC)

That would be exteremely useful. Many thanks. Tompw 11:51, 25 September 2006 (UTC)

I've made a few more, you can find them in this gallery. --Qyd 15:40, 5 October 2006 (UTC)

New AB Towns map

Fantastic work. I love all the work you've been doing to AB-related geography articles lately. Keep up the fantastic work. However, on that map I don't see Westlock or Barrhead. What gives? Kevlar67 09:50, 5 October 2006 (UTC)

Fixed, thanks for noticing. --Qyd 10:44, 5 October 2006 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Encentre-rendering1.jpg

Re: Weatherford International

Thanks! Mattisse (talk) 15:25, 17 October 2006 (UTC)

No, I don't work for WI. Certainly, update the information (add links/references to sources as well). The current logos work fine here (but there's been glitches at upload.wikipedia today). Cheers. --Qyd 21:31, 18 October 2006 (UTC)

South Nahanni River

Hi, I'm the one who started the South Nahanni River article and noticed that you've contributed a few times. It's the first article I've started, and I hope to be able to flesh it out and hopefully get good article status or featured article status. Right now the scope is a bit overwhelming, and it's nice to see someone else contributing to the article. Anyway, I thought I'd let you know I appreciate seeing another face there.

Ooops, I didn't check the name from flickr with the uploader is the same. I've reverted it back. Thanks for notifying me. ;-) — Indon (reply) — 17:12, 4 November 2006 (UTC)

Re: BC Wikiproject

I'd love to release it, but have you asked everyone else yet for any last-minute improvements? Otherwise, I'll likely release it next week or so. -→Buchanan-Hermit ™/?! 03:44, 5 November 2006 (UTC)

Apartments and housing for rent in Canadian cities....

Hello,

I noticed the links we posted for Calgary/Edmonton rental housing were removed? Would'nt these external links prove to be a valuable reference to anyone searching for rental housing in these cities?

Any comments would be appreciated.

Sincerely,

Re: Rental housing in Canadian cities ...

Hello,

Thank-you for your clarification on the types of links that are allowed.

Looking deeper into some of the external links that currently exist for "Edmonton", it would appear that the "Edmonton Dining" link (http://www.edmontondining.com/) should be marked as "spam" as well. The above site is no different from ours -- it allows visitors to view ads for free, but charges for advertising, ie:

http://www.edmontondining.com/restaurants/advertising/edmontondining_rates.pdf

I do think however, that sites like ours, which do offer a valuable service (ie: housing) should be included -- logically, it is no different from sites that offer other types of services within a given city, ie: news, sports, city attractions, etc.

However, I do respect and support the Wikipedia initiative, and will not re-post any links until such time that a "Housing" topic is present in each city.

Sincerely,

The Rent Board of Canada http://www.rentboard.ca

Thorough GA review. Impressive! --Ling.Nut 06:00, 8 November 2006 (UTC)

Wild rose drawing

I was wondering if I can use that wild rose drawing of yours as a small part of a logo? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Quackgrassacrez (talk • contribs) 20:26, 19 November 2006

Image:Wildrose-drawing.png is licenced under PD, meaning you can use it for any purpose. Thanks for asking though. Qyd 20:54, 19 November 2006
