To Whom It May Concern :

Hello,


I am very sorry to this result. However, I have just made an account on Wikipedia-- and are not that familiar with these sort of guidelines (Yes, I have read the beginners section) I am shocked by your warnings towards me; even though I have presented thus, evidence of the truth.

Such as? I would like you and me to agree upon this conflict between Greater and Metro Vancouver Personally , I would go with both because the district still uses Greater Vancouver in the water and plumage systems.


Hopefully you can agree upon with me ; I am just fixing up some sentence flaws, I am unclear of how this is called Vandalism [Yes again, I have read through the guidelines, however to this myself I am unclear]


PS. The Picture about Arbutus Ridge is looking upon Downtown Vancouver ; to be more specific.


Thank you in regards; Please talk to me if you have any concerns or questions.


Thank you the most sincerely. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Iiarecooll (talkcontribs) 03:19, 26 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hello again Emarsee,


Yes - Although on The Weather Network uses Greater Vancouver.

Secondly, Personally I think It doesn't really matter if the media uses Metro Vancouver. It is not exactly 100% official that Greater Vancouver is destroyed or not used anymore, and that Metro Vancouver is replaced entirely. It is only still under construction. It focuses more on the people, a whole lot of the population still don't know about the name change and still name Greater Vancouver. One of my friends from England, thought it was a train system running in Vancouver.

Anyway; I do not want to argue about the funny things on this Christmas Holiday ; all on all peace?

And yes you are right the mountains are focused on West** Vancouver. Not Vancouver West :)

However there is a flaw in the structure I wanted to edit out earlier View of ___what___ from Arbutus Ridge...etc


Thanks and Regards Peace

Lets just dont talk about this anymore Its getting on me :) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Iiarecooll (talkcontribs) 04:56, 26 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

As to your talk regards Metro Vancouver and against TransLink; the ORIGINAL NAME WAS NOT South Coast British Columbia Transportation Authority. It was the Greater Vancouver Transportation Authority, and before that - was BCTransit, BC'S Transit System.

It is TransLink because it would be a "a nickname" for GVTA / SCBCTA as of JAN/1/08.

As of Metro Vancouver, it is not the same. People still use Metro Vancouver only for media and district as of Official Name, HOWEVER; the population does not use the name Metro Vancouver in many cases;

a. it's hard to understand for tourists from countries
b. it does not make sense in directories (EG YellowPages - they use Vancouver and areas surrounding it)


The concept I am trying to get here Emarsee is that Greater Vancouver is still in use, and thus - It is not an authority that you may choose to take down the old name, Greater Vancouver


Towards your talk about the RADIO STATION THAT USES METRO VANCOUVER:

As you said, Mr 'Emarsee' - the media does not Matter, as suppose you said awhile ago.


Thanks —Preceding unsigned comment added by Iiarecooll (talkcontribs) 06:01, 27 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, what you said is true;

HOWEVER-

It may matter due to the population if the district calls Vancouver ; Supercali..etc People will not have interest in the name; which will make the district change the name


And as well Toronto does not use the name Metro Toronto ; it uses GTA [Greater Toronto Area] if you may not have already known.

Metro Toronto is only Applied as in professionally - it is not a thing used; and it is not a legal name.


Although people say that Metro Vancouver does not make sense; even when the district uses it; It might be helpful posting up the old name / and the new name

eg? Preceding Name : Greater Vancouver

      New Official Name as of 2008: Metro Vancouver

Helping me, helping others; and helping everybody. thanks as people are confused ; it'll be helpful. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Iiarecooll (talkcontribs) 06:27, 27 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

As Well,

the term Lower Mainland is used against the people; even though its not official to the district and not legally correct, and the district has control but, -- everyone uses it. which led to even the district itself.

Now, People does matter.

However I do want to end this very childish argument -


Thanks and hope to get this solved.

Iiarecooll (talk) 06:32, 27 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Also,

Lower Mainland is applied as Metro Vancouver

So Lower Mainland still takes in effect.


Greater Vancouver, and its surroundings, although Greater Vancouver still makes more sense -- Metro Vancouver is more of a legal name Even the Directories uses Greater Vancouver. Everyone. except for the Media and District itself.

The Main concept ; Greater Vancouver and Metro Vancouver should still be used in the Metro Vancouver page, and as well to include both histories as of dates.

eg. TransLink's new official name and old "Greater Vancouver Transportation Authority"

Thanks Iiarecooll (talk) 06:35, 27 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Pardon, user Emarsee


Could we please end this childish argumentation, as you please.

I understand the fact; and I know what I've done wrong as a "beginner" on Wikipedia. I am sorry,

and as you please STOP this argumentation about Metro Vancouver

The "images cannot be added purely for decorative purposes" rationale applies only to images that are licensed under fair use. It's irrelevant if the image is licensed under GFDL; images uploaded to Wikipedia under GFDL, CC or public domain licensing can always be in the article whether they're purely "decorative" or not.

CKPM-FM categories

Hey Emarsee, I'm interested in your comment where you say "Only COL should be in category". Is that a Wiki rule (I searched but couldn't find anything), or an assumption? I ask because although CKPM is to be located in Port Moody, it is a radio station specifically targeting the entire Tri-Cities. Thanks. Greg Salter (talk) 00:52, 5 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

A (TV system)

In the case you're wondering why I've made some minor changes is that to avoid confusion with the indefinite article, the system's name is often marked with single quotes as 'A'.

CRTC

Looks like they've finally switched everything over to the new url format, so for the moment almost all of our weblinks to CRTC decisions are dead (except for a few that I manually updated today.) I've put in a request with WP:AWB to see if we can automate the changeover, since for the most part it's actually a fairly simple middle-of-the-url text substitution. I'll keep you updated on the response. Bearcat (talk) 04:18, 8 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

That certainly is news to me, haven't heard anything about the CRTC changing their URLs. Thanks for the info though, I will be using my newly granted AWB powers to change the URLs of the CRTC decisions. єmarsee (Discuss) 06:21, 8 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Granville Island Water Taxi?

Can you pls help me understand why you deleted my addition to the Transportation in Vancouver page? This is a private company (I have no business interest) offering a new transportation option for people who might wish to visit Bowen Island. I use it all the time, as do lots of others who live out here. Why is this different than the Aquabus listed on the page, or the private charter service that runs scenic tours of the park?

In November 2008, the private company Granville Island Water Taxi introduced daily scheduled foot-passenger service between Granville Island and Snug Cove, Bowen Island. The 12-passenger vessel Eagle XXX takes approximately 25 minutes to make the crossing, and runs as many as 16 trips per day in either direction. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jamesglave (talkcontribs) 17:20, 13 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Wiki policy change??

Hi there, sorry I wasn't sure what frequency to put in for CHFR-FM, I believe they now operate at 96.5 FM, instead of 91.5 FM so I left it blank because I wasn't quite sure. I checked the recent CRTC decision on CHFR Hornby Island and its at 96.5 FM as of 2007, while Recnet says it operates at 91.5 FM which may be outdated. Once again, i'm sorry for removing the frequency from the Northern Vancouver Island template. The next time i'll leave it until I make the official change(s).
