Alta Vista

Alta Vista is a very ambiguous term, indeed, which leads to many problems. First off, I have never really considered Alta Vista to go south of Heron, as that is Heron Gate and Ridgemont neighbourhoods. The problem with the maps you showed was that the first one is just clumps of census tracts put together, and the second one is showing Alta Vista Ward which includes my neighbourhood of Riverview as well. Alta Vista does have a core, and that would be the area around Alta Vista Drive, mainly between Smyth and Heron. I have always considered the area east of the greenspace to be part of Alta Vista, but I cannot be sure of that. My map of Ottawa by the government, that shows all the subneighbourhoods has "Alta Vista" is larger font than the rest of the neighbourhoods, which probably means that it trumps all the nearby neighbourhoods. Which neighbourhoods those are however is up for debate. -- Earl Andrew - talk 20:31, 13 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, they are notable as they all appear on my map. (Canterbury doesn't however, but I would consider it a neighbourhood as well, I guess. I will re-add them. -- Earl Andrew - talk 21:56, 13 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Edit summary

Hi. You have made this edit at Geometry. It is one of those minor things for which it is really important to put an edit summary. But either way, it would be good if you could visit talk:geometry, and explain your change. That would be much appreciated. Thanks! Oleg Alexandrov (talk) 04:06, 2 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Wikimedia Canada

Hi there! I'd like to invite you to explore Wikimedia Canada, and create a list of people interested in forming a local chapter for our nation. A local chapter will help promote and improve the organization, within our great nation. We'd also like to encourage everyone to suggest projects for our national chapter to participate in. Hope to see you there!--DarkEvil 17:11, 20 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks

Thanks for correcting me in the Ottawa article -> ~~January~~ February. For some reason I can't comprehend, I thought it was January. *shrug* - nathanrdotcom ^{(Talk • Contribs)} 08:09, 25 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Magnetic induction

Hi! The term "magnetic induction" usually refers to the magnetic field B (see there), rather than to the electromagnetic induction. So please revert your change of the redirect, or at least make it into a disambiguation page. Sincerely, Yevgeny Kats 04:24, 16 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

about the house picture

The picture we have now is horrible. The entire thing is just a black square with three out of the five letters showing. We can do alot better and i put that template there so people can be aware that a better picture is needed for the article.

I didn't know that template existed either until i looked for it. you can find other strange templates here:

The Game

I have reverted your edit to The Game (game). The list of countries the game is played in is from the De Morgen article. Your addition was unsourced and was probably original research. Thanks for playing. Nardman1 19:31, 30 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Children of the Prime Ministers of Canada

Think you can help us save this article? Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Children of the Prime Ministers of Canada -- Earl Andrew - talk 01:26, 5 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, they put Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Parents of the Prime Ministers of Canada on AfD as well. -- Earl Andrew - talk 17:14, 10 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Mars

Hi there, Regarding your linking in the Mars Bar article; normally we only link the first instance of a word in an article. There may be common-sense exceptions to this; this isn't a hard-and-fast rule, but generally we just need the one link. Thanks! Fourohfour 11:58, 22 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Unity = 1

Sorry to be pedantic, but I don't like seeing users editing entries (in this case 'Paramagnetism') when they were correct to start with. I wish you to know that 'unity', in scientific terminology, is the equivalent to '1'. So 'greater than unity' means 'greater than one'. You should know this, as a scientist. Have fun learning. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 129.12.24.104 (talk) 15:26, 30 March 2007 (UTC).[reply]

yeah, thanks for that. i am well aware that unity can be used to refer to the number one (thus me changing unity to 1 in the artice). i just thought that the phrase "greater than unity" sounded illogical and ostentatious. in the interest of those who may not know what it means to be greater than unity, i changed it (back) to 1, which everyone is familiar with. if you had bothered to check the discussion page, you would see that someone already had been confused by that awkward wording. howbout next time spending your time and effort fixing crucial errors and omissions instead of reverting someone's 2 month old edit just to prove to the world you know what unity means? --Someones life 04:34, 1 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
