Fishing history

Hi Jonathan. With regard to your additions to Template:Fishing history, I removed Neil McLean because his brother, Allan, is already on the list and the article on Neil adds nothing new (there is also little of substance or interest to fishing history in the article on Allan, and it should probably be removed as well). I also removed Chicken of the Sea since it appears to be an ordinary marketing operation of little historic interest to fishing. --Geronimo20 (talk) 01:53, 1 May 2008 (UTC)

Politicians

Just so you know, there's actually a separate {{Infobox Officeholder}} that we should use for politicians instead of just {{infobox person}}. Bearcat (talk) 20:09, 1 May 2008 (UTC)

Red Party

Maybe we can translate the titles in parentheses?

There is a small section on Non-English sources in the Verifiablity policy, but it does not say anything beyond what we might call basic common sense.

I guess the best I can do is start to add footnotes, where I will provide translations.

It should be easier to find English-language sources for Province of Canada, because the subject is not specific to Quebec. I'll start looking.

It is a strange coincidence that you posted your request for sources, because I last week I contacted Library and Archives Canada to let them know that there was a mistake on this public site:

• The Canadian State Political Library

The mistake was (and still is as of now) that when you try to download the Manifeste du Club national démocratique (Club national démocratique = Parti rouge) you end up with Étude sur l'union projetée des provinces britanniques de l'Amérique du Nord, by Joseph Cauchon instead! The civil servant who replied me (within 72 hours, not too bad :-) said they were going to re-digitize it within "a few weeks".

According to Yvan Lamonde, "Parti rouge" and "les rouges", are labels stuck on them by their political adversaries to compare them to the Italian Redshirts. Other than comparable ideologies, the analogy could very well come from the Italian flag which really is the same as the one used by the Lower Canada Patriots, only with the stripes vertical instead of horizontal. -- Mathieugp (talk) 21:07, 22 May 2008 (UTC)

Joseph Z. Daigle

Since both entries in your disambiguation page led to an article about the same person, I've combined the functions into a redirect page that should accomplish the same function. This is the way to go when faced with two reasonable spellings under which a Wikipedia user would be searching for information about the same person. The disambig page was the right idea, it's just that redirect is more commonly used. If I can be of any further help, just leave me a note. Accounting4Taste:talk 15:50, 24 May 2008 (UTC)

List of communities in New Brunswick

Hello Jonathan! I'm Red Castle from the french wikipedia. My message is not directed only at you but I saw you are interested in Acadia. Me (and other people) have upgraded the list on our wiki and it now contains every municipalities and LSD in province. There are only some minor problems remaining, so if you or some other people interested in New Brunswick, it could be a good base to make yours better. Just take care of the fact that some places have officiel or unofficial french names, so we used them in those particular case. Have a nice day!
