[edit] King George V School

There is nothing in the internet about the rumours part so I cannot really cite it. But since i am a KGV student i know about it as everyone in the school have been either spook by an older student, or by a teacher. So could you let this one off? KGV 09:03, 2 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Hollywood North

I spent the last 30mins cleaning up the article, that user had reverted all the changes to the citations in the Toronto section so all the publisher information and formatting was lost in place of only urls. Mkdw^talk 01:05, 2 January 2007 (UTC)

Ah, that's bizarre. Carson 04:50, 2 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Portal:Vancouver

It's me again. I addressed some of your recommendations on the Portal:Vancouver's featured portal review. I noticed your vote is still object. Any responses so they can be addressed? Mkdw^talk 11:16, 2 January 2007 (UTC)

I just gave it another look and I can now say that I can support it. :) Carson 04:42, 4 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Image:SkyTrain Future V2.png

Thank you for removing the "do not use outside of Wikipedia" watermark. --NE2 03:36, 8 January 2007 (UTC)

No problem. Yllianos wanted me to remove it for him since I wanted to update the image anyway. Carson 03:31, 9 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] List of portable software deletion

Why have you deleted no-install.com from the list of links on the portable software article on wikipedia? It is a good resource of information on the subject. Not to mention one of the very first resources on the internet on the subject. Please contact me directly leftyfb@left-click.org

Sorry, I'd rather not email you. Instead, I've replied to your talk page. Carson 03:18, 23 January 2007 (UTC)

As I told you, I check this article regularly, as well as another on wikipedia having to do with portable software. The flash drives I sell on my site are for people who do not feel like preloading their software or do not know how to load a bootable version of linux onto their flash drives. I have not sold many and don't rely on it at all. It was just something to help foot the bill of hosting the site. The registration is due to too many people abusing the site at one time and the VERY large amount of spam I was getting. I was not the one who entered my site on any of wikipedia but I am now requesting that it be kept on as the whole purpose of my site is to inform people of the current news and software surrounding the subject. I am also not the only person who believes it should be kept on.

(btw, how to you enter your signature as well as the date and time on your postings?)

Alright, I guess that's a valid reason. An anon seems to have added your link back in for you already. You can sign your posts with 4 tildes (~~~~). Carson 04:33, 23 January 2007 (UTC)

Sorry, that was me who entered it back on. I saw someone else agree with me and thought it might be ok. If you feel I should take it back off and let someone else put it back on for reasons of conflict of interest, I could do so as well. Also, about the lack of updates to my site. Real life career/side job schedules have taken a toll on my online dealing as far as taking the time to sit down and go through articles and post about them as well as read through, authorize and edit articles and downloads other people have posted. I am just now able to spend a little time catching up. Thanks for the wiki tip. Leftyfb 04:39, 23 January 2007 (UTC)

You should reconsider the requirement to register before you can browse or download anything. Adding the site back is still a conflict of interest, as it can be argued that if your site really is that useful, then someone else will add it in for you. I won't remove it since you've convinced me that it's not spam, but you should still keep this in mind. Carson 05:18, 23 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Hollywood North

Carson, please read the full edit history and talkpage at this ongoing nightmare, especially the archived materials; and also the talkpages for Mkdw, Ckatz and lately myself; Yellowsnow tried to unilaterally place the AFD template already, although I believe it was Mkdw who pointed out WP:SNOW will override any such AFD; his placement of the supposed "blatant advertising" as well as the "speedy deletion" templates are tantamount to vandalism, as are most of his edits. I know I have a testy reputation, but this guy is downright hostile and very often nasty. I'm ignoring his attack on my talkpage, although I did just kibbitz on Ckatz's talkpage about some of his latest inanities. This guy is more than a troll, and is something like a propagandist; almost something like a film industry McCarthyite; I'm pretty sick of it; all very ironic because my involvement with the page originally was to prevent Duhon's Toronto-only agenda from overtaking it; then Yellowsnow shows up; I actually have issues with the expansiveness it's taken on, i.e. being an article about the scale of the industry in Canada, instead of the meaning/phenomenon of "Hollywood North" in and of itself; I think the article's overblown but Mkdw and Ckatz did an admirable job of trying to cite/represent both sides ("both" meaning the Vancouver meaning, and where Toronto's taken it; now there's a third "meaning", from yellowsnow, that it's "advertising" and "self-promotion" for the Canadian biz; that's a stretch but too long a discussion for here (certainly true about TO in some ways, but still it's become so high-profile/in such currency in the media as well as public speech that it's inescapably of encyclopedic interest). Anyway, recommending that he try an AFD is a bit of a non sequitur since he's already tried that, although he didn't go through the proper process; he doesn't know what proper process is and, quite frankly, doesn't seem to care.Skookum1 03:51, 26 January 2007 (UTC)

You can't please everyone. Now that he has properly filed an AfD, he can easily see the consensus instead of being told that there is consensus. After it's closed as 'keep' it will further solidify the article's validity, so there'd be less debate over that. Carson 05:45, 26 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Air Macau

I don't think that logo posted on the topic of Macau was breaking the principle of "fair use". 72.138.191.63 21:50, 27 January 2007 (UTC)

It is breaking fair use because logos are only allowed to be used when demonstrating the topic. Since the transportation section is not specifically talking about Air Macau, we can't put the Air Macau logo there. Carson 21:56, 27 January 2007 (UTC)

yes, that is why I put on the left side of that main article - Air Macau. I think that your point is the logo may be allowed to put on it if the "whole topic" is talking purely about Air Macau. I don't think so. W. Disney's logo, MTR's logo can be seen in the topic of Hong Kong.72.138.191.63 22:20, 27 January 2007 (UTC)

Well, there's really no point putting the Air Macau logo beside a main article link. The logo fair use policy says it's fair use "to illustrate the organization, item, or event in question" when using the logo. I'll go remove those logos from the Hong Kong page right now; it shouldn't be a problem. Carson 22:53, 27 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] RC meaning

Hey, I just added RedCommunist to the general page for RC, under the list of other meanings. Now, I don't see why you took it off since I am going to make a page. I believe since this is an encyclopedia I should be allowed to be listed there since that is the nickname for RedCommunist. I just don't see a reason it shouldn't be listed while some others listed have less to do with the meaning. An example is Rebel Camp, an internet game, which the link doesn't even go to anything about it. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by RedCommunist (talk • contribs).

I removed it because it linked off to your userpage. I assumed it was vandalism or a test. By the way, you are not allowed to redirect from mainspace to userspace. It's also a very bad idea to create an article about yourself, if that's what you're planning on doing. Carson 02:40, 31 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] World Energy

Thanks for your excellent comments. One questions; if I spend the time fixing and improving the article to address all of your admittingly solid suggestions, will you support the article for a feature artcile nomination? Frank van Mierlo 03:42, 31 January 2007 (UTC)

Yes, definitely! Unless another editor brings up issues that I didn't find... Carson 03:45, 31 January 2007 (UTC)

But of course, you'll need to address the concerns raised in the previous FA nomination. ;) Carson 03:47, 31 January 2007 (UTC)

Thank you I will take on board all your suggestions for improvement and resubmit the article as a featured candidate. Thank you for your encouragement. I made specifc comments to your suggestions on the articles talk page. As always your input is appreciated. Frank van Mierlo 21:34, 31 January 2007 (UTC)

I believe I have addressed most of your comments. Please have a look at the page and see if you are willing to remove the GA hold. I will continue to improve the article to get it ready for FA . Once again your comments were excellent and very constructive, which is why I worked so hard to clear them. Frank van Mierlo 23:32, 1 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Sources needed tagging of Norwin S. and Elizabeth N. Bean Foundation

Hello, there are two sources listed in the article, with the little footnote [1] and [2]. Please teach me how I can better meet the sourcing requirement. I am new to Wikipedia. Thanks, Jerry lavoie 04:48, 1 February 2007 (UTC)

Take a look at my changes to the page just now. To use inline references, the <references /> tag needs to be added for them to appear. For sourcing requirements, see WP:CITE. Carson 04:51, 1 February 2007 (UTC)

Ok, so can the maintenance tags be removed now? Jerry lavoie 04:55, 1 February 2007 (UTC)

I just checked the sources; looks like the tag can be removed now. :) Carson 05:00, 1 February 2007 (UTC)

Thanks. PS: If you get a second, I am currently on editor review. Wikipedia:Editor_review/Jerry_lavoie Jerry lavoie 05:07, 1 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Your Notes

Thank you very much for your review of Boston College High School and its GA Nomination. I will be letting this first nomination pass and when I have some time to get back into Wikipedia I will certainly address the issues. Thanks again for your comments as they will be very helpful in furthering the article and preparing it to eventually become a Good Article. Thanks Caf3623 23:53, 5 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] King George V School

The on hold tag on it is already 7 days old. Please respond. Thanks KGV 04:25, 8 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] No prob

I figured as much, and I was trying to assist at clearing the backlog. Didn't want to step on any toes. Nja247 (talk • contribs) 09:39, 10 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Coordinates for Burrard Station

I removed your coordinates for Burrard Station. They where pointed at Telus World of Science. Do you have a GPS and/or the correct coordinates for Burrard?

Thanks
