Notes

Hi Qyd, I am trying to make sure the access dates for the footnotes on the Winnipeg article are current. I am finding that some come from the same source. How do you get them so that they are listed a,b,c,d like the Statscan note if that's the case. If you have time, could you take a look? Thanks. jdobbin 14:41, 2 February 2007 (UTC)

Hmm, I've tried a couple of times to follow your instructions on the National Defence footnotes. I don't know what I'm doing wrong. Do you think you can look at it? Once I see it for myself I should be able to fix other notes on this and the Manitoba page. Thanks! jdobbin 00:31, 9 February 2007 (UTC)

Orphaned fair use image (Image:Lethbridge-coat.PNG)

Too many images at Havana

Hello Qyd, you had deleted all links that I posted yesterday, and I ask you now: if there are too many images (therefore page increments it weigh), why you don't select the best images about Havana and related to publish it on Havana's main page? Thanks for you interest... ZorphDark.

Ok, your answer was gratify, but I insist in review once in a while the new uploaded photos to select the best that make the article more comprehensible. Thanks again... & be 1n touch... ZorphDark.

PD: Also, keep in mind that one image had more value than a lot of words. A picture reveals contents that we can't appreciate by read. But obviously, we should abridge bytes as more as possible. ZorphDark.

Recent reversions

Hi, Qyd.

I noticed that your recent "reversion" on the Havana article changed more than just a reversion - how did you do you reversion ? Manually ? Not by formally reveryting or using the undo function ?

Auyuittuq National Park

I got a bit confused after this. It turned out there was Category:Parks in Nunavut (and Category:National parks of Nunavut is a sub-category of that) and the now deleted Category:Parks of Nunavut. CambridgeBayWeather (Talk) 23:14, 12 February 2007 (UTC)

Pearson Airport

Hello Qyd!

I was just looking up Pearson Airport page here and I couldn't help noticing you've got some nice shots of the terminals... I'm building a Pearson Scenery for a flight simulator called X-Plane and I need some pictures of the buildings so I was wondering if you have some there that you could share and allow me to use, the photos will be basically used for modelling the 3d buildings and to create the textures so only pictures from the exterior would be useful and especially ones taken from the aircraft ramps(showing the facades that face the airplanes rather than the ones that face the parking lots side), if you cannot share I'll understand! ;) You can find me at this e-mail

Regards,

José Moura

Great work on the project stuff Qyd. I Like the template. Ooh, and by the way, I've put one of your photos on the Portal selected pics list! Hope you don't mind.-- Zleitzen^(talk) 00:06, 26 February 2007 (UTC)

Reversion to Bowen Island Article

I think we both attempted to revert the same vandalism to this article. I am not sure it came out right. I thought before I try to fix anything, I would let you know in case you are in the middle of doing the same thing --KenWalker | Talk 03:50, 26 February 2007 (UTC)

Subdivisions of [Canadian province/territory] templates

Hi Qyd,
Just to thank you for continuing to correct my forgetting to update the name parameter in these templates. I'll try to remember to do it myself! Best wishes, David Kernow (talk) 13:06, 28 February 2007 (UTC)

National Parks Map

Hi Qyd,

RE: Canadian National Parks Location.png

This is a great looking map. I made some comments on it in the Discussion page of the Image. Take a look and let me know what you think. Yoho2001 11:17, 1 March 2007 (UTC)

Thought I'd pop in to see if you've had a chance to reply, here or at the image discussion page. Thanks for adding the Categories box at Pingo National Landmark. :) Yoho2001 12:27, 6 March 2007 (UTC)

Thanks Qyd for revising the coordinates on the Millenium Park article. Can you tell me where I can find the docs regarding the coordinates syntax. Monsieur david 19:42, 5 March 2007 (UTC)

Template:Road types

Hi. I can appreciate the reasoning for you removing the whitespace from the top of the navibox, as it could appear 'inconsistent' when used with other Naviboxes. However, without the whitespace, the navibox 'collides' with whatever text is immediately before it, which I think looks dreadful. Adding a blank line (all I was trying to do – NB, this technique has been seen and used on other naviboxes) provides just enough breathing space to avoid the text being dominated by the navibox.

There must be a way of avoiding this problem without introducing new ones. Any ideas?

EdJogg 15:31, 6 March 2007 (UTC)

Take Macadam as an example. The last paragraph now 'includes' the navibox, as there's no visible separation between the two (aside from the leading below the last line of paragraph text).

In Tarmac, the navibox again 'touches' the final text, yet there is space allowed before the 'See also' heading – consistency would demand space before the navibox also.

You are right that {{Navigation}} includes 'style="clear:both;"', which should allow for some leading space. However, {{Road types}} is based on {{Navbox generic}}, which is a table, and does not include a 'clear' of any kind. The sample usage shows three such boxes butted-together, and I can't imagine why one might want to display that way.

Adding a blank line to the article is an easy compromise, but risky, as there are many editors and bots who will remove 'stray' blank lines on sight!

Image:Canada-Drainage.png

Just a comment: The part of your drainage diagram, Image:Canada-Drainage.png, that drains into the Gulf of Mexico seems a bit small and only seems to indicate the Milk River drainage and not the Old Wives Lake, Big Muddy Creek, and Poplar River drainages (I'm referencing the Saskatchewan Water Authority map at http://www.swa.ca/Maps/ ). (Although, being a native Saskatchewanian, I always thought Old Wives Lake was a self-contained basin which didn't actually drain anywhere...just loss by surface evaporation & irrigation, but I'm assuming the SWA knows better than I do) Thomas Dzubin _Talk 16:07, 6 March 2007 (UTC)

Photos

Qyd Per your photo requests, I do have several Stephen Ave photos and I would be happy to share. However, they are not better than the copyrighted shots. I will take a crack at beating the Chamber of Commerce shots and will post if successful. I do have some first class Calgary skyline wide angles and panoramas which I think are as good as or better than the Copyrighted Chamber shot there now. I have been hesitant to replace it since the Chamber shot is decent and it seemed so self aggrandizing. Is the Chamber copyright offensive? What would you advise? Cszmurlo 17:49, 11 March 2007 (UTC)

World Heritage template

Hi again. Someone proposed that the World Heritage template be merged with the protected area template. In any case, a user is complaining about the lack of use of the World Heritage template. See this article for reference. Joey80 12:57, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

{{NB Expressways}} and other templates

Sure i can!

It's an error in the javascript encoding, but it's neutralised by placing "<br clear=all>" right before the templates, either in the articles, or directly above the template information in the template itself. RingtailedFox • Talk • Stalk 21:19, 30 March 2007 (UTC)

Public domain BC govt map-generator

Just found this which you should have a look at; you're the first guy (gal?) I thought of when I saw it, though I'll let WPBC know as well. I haven't played with its toggles yet but don't know the quality of the graphics; the bigger mapplace system can load sat photos, contours, all kinds of stuff so this may be able to as well; looks like an easy way to do park and IR boundaries properly. No copyright, unlike Basemap (which you can't even mail yourself now; they want to charge for it; to hell with it I use prnt-scrn '-). Skookum1 00:59, 17 April 2007 (UTC)

Re: {{expand}} and counties

Thats fare enough man. Reason i did so, was thinking that having the {{expand}} tag on top would encourage people that know bout the area to add things in...if u dont think it's need it just remove it. I wrote on that articles talk page though articles that are similar: such Brant, Ontario and unless im mistaken Chatham-Kent, Ontario is also a country/municipility? no? And that has a history section for eg? But fare enough, in future when i add a "expand" tag, i will make sure that i want something in particular added. Hope i addressed ur concern. petze 15:12, 25 April 2007 (UTC)

You're right...

Yukon shoudl be YT (according to ISO_3166-2:CA, which is the default for such thing on WP). I've tweaked the template so that using either YT= or YU= as a parameter will work, though the documentation now only mentions YT. Thanks for highlighting this iussue.

Alberta location maps

Hi Q,
I asked for help at the village pump with the Airdrie, Alberta map. I seen that you switched the Medicine Hat, Alberta map to the roads map. I compared the older Census divisions AB.png map between FF and IE7 (WinXP) and there didn't seem to be a difference in dot placement at Medicine Hat. Have you come across any other odd dot behavior in the Alberta maps? —MJCdetroit 20:19, 26 April 2007 (UTC)

Other than Resolute's issue on Airdrie, I didn't notice any odd behaviour, but than again, I can't test it in IE6. I swithed the Med Hat map only because I find the road map more informative (census divisions are not well known these days). I'm contemplating changing all AB census divisions background maps with the road map, but so far it's just a thought. Nice work on implementing the {{Infobox City}}, by the way. --Qyd 20:28, 26 April 2007 (UTC)

Thanks, I am slowly working on the Canada Town one now. I figured that Med Hat switch was a preferance thing.

I may have found another odd-behaving dot eariler, Redcliff, Alberta, but at the moment I am using a Macintosh and everything looks good (go figure?).

Question: Is there a way to line up the dot in Firefox (or whatever) and select that map image and turn it into a permenant map (no dot x & y)? Like how Invermere, British Columbia's map is? —MJCdetroit 02:46, 27 April 2007 (UTC)

Could be done by hand for every community (and was done, unfortunately by me, for AB and BC). But I believe that is the point of having map+dot, that is, avoiding the dotty map syndrome, piles of similar map images clogging up the servers. It was the resaon I preffered AB and BC municipality infobox over the canadian infoboxes. --Qyd 14:16, 27 April 2007 (UTC)

I agree. I was just wondering if it was possible. THanks,MJCdetroit 14:55, 27 April 2007 (UTC)

UPDate: I am going to start to fix the dot map placements. The list of places that maybe affected can be found here: Category:Settlement articles requiring maintenance. I am going to switch the templates to a test template first, then move the dot as needed. When all pages needing work have been fixed then I will edit {{Infobox Settlement}} and switch the pages using the "test" template back to the live template. I am using google earth to double check the placement; please feel free to double check my placement and adjust if needed. Thanks, —MJCdetroit 16:33, 30 April 2007 (UTC)

Sounds good. As of now, with the map aligned left, the dots are out of place. Let me know if you want any particular one tested in IE7, FF and Opera. --Qyd 16:35, 30 April 2007 (UTC)

{{Infobox City/Test1}} centers the image and the same change will be applied to the main template soon. I don't have Opera, so some tests in that would be nice. Just look at my user contribs to see what the last pages were. Cheers. MJCdetroit 16:42, 30 April 2007 (UTC)

Athabasca, Alberta and Banff, Alberta look good in Opera, so I suppose /Test1 works. --Qyd 16:49, 30 April 2007 (UTC)

All the maps have been fixed. Most by just subtracting 35 from the dot_x value. Some may need an adjustment one or two in either direction but they are close (compared with google earth). The only one I am not sure of was Tomahawk, Alberta. Please check that one out. Thanks, —MJCdetroit 16:46, 2 May 2007 (UTC)

Tomahawk looks good (it's just southeast of the yellowhead x cowboy trail intersection. --Qyd 17:08, 2 May 2007 (UTC)

Ok, because that map was sized at 250px I couldn't use the -35 from the dot_x, but the dot did not need to be adjusted. Thanks for double checking. —MJCdetroit 17:53, 2 May 2007 (UTC)

Template:Canada provinces map

Hi, I noticed your addition of the labeled map feature to Template:Infobox Province or territory of Canada, but the infobox is suited for maps of 250px or smaller. The bigger map you added is stretching the infobox and disrupts the layout. Since you appear to be the main editor of Template:Canada provinces map, can you please edit the template to make its width adjustable before it gets added? I think your template would be much more practical and adaptable if you can make that change. — Kelw (talk) 02:56, 27 April 2007 (UTC)

List of municipalities in British Columbia

Can I ask for your help on this page? I created the article the other day and the framework will be complete soon. I've been using the maps that were on individual articles, many of which you created. However, the formats differ and in some cases there are no maps (in which case the Regional District map is used). What do you suggest for using small image size maps? --maclean 07:21, 1 May 2007 (UTC)

Some extra dot maps can be found at commons:Category:Community locator maps of British Columbia (for Burns, for example). The generic maps and overlain dots have the great advantage of saving space and bandwidth, but are not very usefull in a layout like that you propose. Frankly, I would suggest using the coordinates ({{coor dms}}) in the table, rather than a map image, as they are more precise. --Qyd 13:51, 1 May 2007 (UTC)

Yah, alright, that is a great idea. I'll add the ({{coor dms}}) below the maps and see how that looks. Do you know how to superimpose those yellow dots onto the maps like map at Dawson Creek, British Columbia? I've been fiddling with the dot_x=118, dot_y=67 but I can't get it to work in the table. --maclean 01:25, 2 May 2007 (UTC)

{{Superimpose}} does it. The values are in pixels. Or two div's: one with position:relative, and inside it, one with position:ablolute. --Qyd 01:33, 2 May 2007 (UTC)

Thanks, I started using {{Superimpose}}. Can you please review the page and the code I've been using. It is getting rather large kilobyte-wise, is there a way to reduce the amount of code? --maclean 06:03, 9 May 2007 (UTC)

Superimpose IS a shorter sintax (compared to the raw html code), the only things that can be trimmed are the captions for basemap and dot (both are optional). Nice job on List of municipalities in British Columbia, btw. --Qyd 13:45, 9 May 2007 (UTC)

Why was this link removed?

Hello, we added a great link to the following page: Obatala

The link was for Offerings to Obatala. This link was based off of the Ifa College part of the Ifa Foundation of America and very accurate information. Why was it removed?

A link to a page covered in Google PPC ads and full of broken images not to mention incorrect information is a better link?

http: //www. angelfire.com/fl3/OBATALA/index.html

Or one page off of a bed and breakfast website?

http: //bbparkslope.com —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 76.109.51.222 (talk) 03:32, 7 May 2007 (UTC).

The link someone added was to a discussion forum. Per WP:NOT (WP:NOT#LINK) and WP:EL, links to discussion forums are not acceptable as sources or external links. You are right about one of the other links, I removed the ad-driven angelfire link. Haven't seen a b&b one there, if you do, please delete. Thank you. --Qyd 04:02, 7 May 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for the reply about the link

I was the one who added it. Didn't know that links to forums were not allowed. Sorry about that. Question....we have a couple of different sites that have ALOT of great information on Ifa. We'd like to start contributing it to Wiki. Some of this content is on the ifacollege.com site, which is technically a forum as well. As long as the link to the content as an external source for more information goes to a page on that site that is not a forum link, is this acceptable?

Thanks —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 71.196.109.174 (talk) 22:40, 7 May 2007 (UTC).

Yes, it probably is. However, the best way to add it is contrbuting to the article with information, and referencing it with external links, see WP:CITE. Please consider third party sources and hard sources (books) too, as WP:COI might become an issue. You might also consider registering, see WP:WHY. --Qyd 22:49, 7 May 2007 (UTC)

Location of British Columbia provincial and national parks

Dear Qyd,

your map showing the BC provincial and national parks is just what I have been looking for. However, is it available in a GIS format (i.e. ArcGIS shapefile or MapInfo table).

The reason for the request is that we are planning to emigrate to Canada and would like to know where the parks are.

If possible, please email chrisbarrett@explore7.fsnet.co.uk

Thanks, CB —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 86.157.48.109 (talk) 13:10, 11 May 2007 (UTC).

Go to BC Government Map place. BC parks data is "parks_bc_dd.zip" (the standard projection, don't download the BC Albers projection). --Qyd 13:56, 11 May 2007 (UTC)

Thank you very much for pointing me to the provincial parks dataset. Much appreciated.

your stitchwork

Hi. I just noticed the stiching you did with Image:Alberta Children's Hospital 3+4.jpg,of 2 of my images. Thanks, that was a nice job. I was previously dispapointed that I couldn't get a proper wide angle picture of the full length of the building (limit of my camera).
