The Messengers, now a TRIO

Hi Moxy! It might not have been your intention, but your recent edit removed content from the Messengers (producers) article. When removing content, please specify a reason in the edit summary and discuss edits that are likely to be controversial on the article's talk page. All references to "Theodore Feldman" can be personally given to you if you would just kindly drop me a message at my talk page. If this was a mistake, don't worry; the content has been restored, as you can see from the page history. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia, and if you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you.

We appreciate it. --Removed 20:59, 26 October 2011 (UTC)

I indicated it was because it was unsourced. Can you provide a source for this info as per WP:UNSOURCED in the article?. If not i will have to remove again as per WP:CHALLENGE.Moxy (talk) 00:54, 27 October 2011 (UTC)

Joseph again....

I saw on one of your edit summaries that you filed a new report on him. I couldn't find it anywhere though. Did you end up doing this? I just wonder because this user is back at it again, and I'd gladly back you up/reiterate things if you had reported it. Let me know. Thanks. Sergecross73 msg me 00:33, 7 November 2011 (UTC)

(EDIT) Oops, nevermind, I see that that edit summary was from the first time he was blocked. I misread the date. Okay, well he is back and adding sloppy/poor edits to the article again, randomly undoing edits, not discussing things, etc, at various nickelback articles. It's not as bad as I originally thought though, since many were older than I thought. Sorry. Sergecross73 msg me 00:48, 7 November 2011 (UTC)

It's been archived.[2] This account was blocked for one week.[3] A Quest For Knowledge (talk) 00:51, 7 November 2011 (UTC)

Yeah, that's what my second post was getting at (I've reformatted them above to better emphasize I made 2 separate posts.) I was aware of his week long block on October 28/29. I was looking at the history of the Nickelback page, and saw that that Joseph was back at it on Nov 5th, right after the block was over. I saw a revert from Moxy saying he reported him, but Moxy's edit was was older and actually in reference to the Oct 28th stuff, not the Nov. 5th edits. I posted on your talk page Moxy because I had thought it said you filed a report on Nov 5th, and I couldn't find it. However, that's because you hadn't really done a Nov. 5th one.

Anyways, sorry for all the confusion...Sergecross73 msg me 01:41, 7 November 2011 (UTC)

Canada article - ranking of academic papers in space research

Moxy, hello, and thank you for the question on the Discussion page for Canada. Apologies that the layout of what I initially posted was subprime. I've cleaned it up. Anyway, at one level I clearly know absolutely nothing about this Canadian space science paper question, and would readily defer to anyone with a red wavy flag and stuff on the user page. (That's a friendly nod to you being uh Canadian, at least I assume that's why I see all that good stuff. Salute you: think the place and the people are top notch.) On another level, as a non-Canadian looking in on editors who probably are mostly Canadian, I can see how easy it would be to just "run with this high ranking score." I'd just ask the broad wikipedia community to look very carefully at whether we have a quality well-researched secondary source for the sentence we are using. IMO, the source is flimsy per criteria, and thus the sentence is unduly weighted. FeatherPluma (talk) 06:31, 7 November 2011 (UTC)

Undo of references to Biblical Flood

Please explain why the reference to the Biblical Flood was reverted from the page discussing the difference between the dates for Y Chromosomal Adam and Mitochondrial Eve. The Biblical Flood gives an important reason for the difference in theses dates that should be considered. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 97.65.82.66 (talk) 16:55, 1 December 2011 (UTC)

There was no reference and lets face it bible references are speculative in nature and have no place in an article about science. Pls see the essay -----> Wikipedia:Identifying reliable sources (natural sciences) Moxy (talk) 02:31, 2 December 2011 (UTC)

A reference was added to the Biblical Flood page and the addition was still reverted. Regardless, the account in the Bible gives a testable result. That is science. In addition it is the only source that gives a plausible explanation of the large difference in the times for the Y Chromosomal Adam and Mitochondrial Eve bottlenecks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 97.65.82.66 (talk) 18:38, 6 December 2011 (UTC)

Support at 9/11 request

Hi Moxy, I appreciate your enthusiasm in the current discussion at the 9/11 article. However, even though seeking consensus is not a vote, it is confusing if you register your support for a proposal in several places. Could you refactor your comments and/or headings in some way? You could use Further comments or Add to my support comment above, or strike a comment with a note such as "support updated below". It is easier to follow your reasoning if it is all in one place. Geometry guy 22:11, 2 December 2011 (UTC)

I agree its all messed-up ...I am simply adding "Support" ever time I see a change in text.Moxy (talk) 22:19, 2 December 2011 (UTC)

I thought that might be the reason. There are lots of ways to clarify: "continue to support after update" would be another. Geometry guy 22:28, 2 December 2011 (UTC)

WikiProject Council

I stumbled here from yogurt. I noticed you are on WikiProject Council, so you probably know a fair bit about WikiProjects. Is it reasonable for someone to make an RM for a WikiProject, if they feel the name doesn't fit, and also if they aren't even really "part" of the wikiproject they think should move? WikiProject Conservatism has a RM going on, and I mildly supported it, but there's a lot of flak from User:Lionel who opposes it, so now I'm left wondering if the RM is even a valid process. -Kai445 (talk) 06:06, 3 December 2011 (UTC)

Self Promotion

Hi Moxy! I wasn't trying to self-promote with my edits, sorry it came across that way, it was not my intention. I am at the top of my field and have written many scientific books relating to the study of Arrowhead Typology. Everything I posted/edited was with fact, not opinion. Everything is backed up with science, not talk. I included books I have written as references, because they are the very best source for the scientific based information that I included. No self promotion necessary. I hope you understand............thanks, (Stephen G. Granger (talk) 19:03, 3 December 2011 (UTC))

Hello! The information on the Eden page, is incorrect at best. This is why I removed all content. None of it was correct...I repeat, none of it was correct! I am the foremost authority in the field of Typology. I have written the standard for all 911 point types that have been named to date! All information on arrowheads, is my information!!! I am not trying to use this site to further myself, I have done that on my own! I would like to see this Site with all 911 point types on it! And yes, I will reference the material to my written works, afterall, I am a scientists, and the information we have on those point types, is due to Greg Perino and myself! If my formatting is wrong, please help me out..........I'm not getting paid to help this site be better! Please stop removing my edits! I am getting old, and it is harder and harder for me to continue typing the same information, over and over!

Category:Musicians from Regina, Saskatchewan
I was away for a while from editing musician articles. When I started back up, it was driving me bannans trying to remember this city had a category, that one didn't.

Military history of Canada

G'day, Moxy. Impressive work on this article. I am reading through it now, just to look for typos, etc. I came across this in the First World War section: "The other major combatants had all introduced conscription to replace the massive casualties they were suffering". I'm not sure what definition of "major combatant" is being used here, so maybe it doesn't apply, but if you include Australia as a major combatant (60,000 killed; 137,000 wounded) then the statement is not quite correct. During the war there was considerable debate in Australia about using conscription to provide manpower for the six (later reduced to five) divisions that Australia sent. There were two referendums and ultimately they were both defeated; as a result all Australians that fought overseas during the war were volunteers. Not sure if its worth tweaking the statement or not, I will leave it up to you to decide. Maybe the sentence could be reworded to something like this: "Most of the other major combatants had introduced conscription to replace the massive casualties they were suffering". Just a suggestion. Keep up the good work. Cheers, AustralianRupert (talk) 23:09, 13 January 2012 (UTC)

Eh! Thank you very much - You are right the wording is misleading at best. If you like pls swap out the text for your version during your copy edit ..I will not edit page for the next while. PS you think its close to GA level ?Moxy (talk) 23:13, 13 January 2012 (UTC)

Cheers, I've made that edit. Yes, I think it could be successful at GA. In order to give it the best chance, I suggest putting it up for a thorough peer review at WP:PR (maybe inviting a few Canadian editors and some editors with experience writing broad military histories - User:Nick-D and User:Anotherclown worked on Military history of Australia and Military history of Australia during World War II). Then I would recommend getting someone from the Guild of Copy Editors to run through it. After that, I think it would stand a very good chance. Regards, AustralianRupert (talk) 23:31, 13 January 2012 (UTC)

A couple of further suggestions

• G'day, again, sorry to flood your talk page. I've read through the article and have a couple of minor suggestions which you might consider. Feel free to ignore if you disagree:
  • watch out for date format consistency: sometimes you have ddmmyyyy (e.g. "19 March 2011"), but then elsewhere mmddyyyy (e.g. "November 27, 2010"). Either way is fine, but it should be consistent;
  • in the Iraq War section, the article has an image of "one of four Canadian ships deployed to the Persian Gulf in relation to the Iraq War", however, the prose doesn't mention the deployment of ships. Would it be possible to add a short sentence on this, explaining their role?
  • the Libyan civil war section didn't really give me a good understanding of Canada's contribution to the NATO action. I understand that you don't want to write too much on this so that it doesn't overshadow earlier, larger conflicts, but I wonder if a small sentence or clause could be added. For instance, maybe: "Canada's contribution included the deployment of a number of naval and air assets, which were grouped together as part of Operation Mobile."
  • "In July 2006, for instance, Canada ranked 51st on the list of UN peacekeepers". Is there a ranking that could be provided as a comparison? I assume it was higher previously, do we know what it was at the peak of Canada's involvement for instance? If so, maybe just add a short sentence on that.
  • Anyway, good luck with the article. Cheers, AustralianRupert (talk) 23:47, 13 January 2012 (UTC)

Thank you for all that info I will work on ever point mentioned over the next few days. Question is there a bot to fix dates? Moxy (talk) 23:50, 13 January 2012 (UTC)

No worries. Regarding the dates, I don't think so, but I'm not sure, sorry. Regards, AustralianRupert (talk) 00:13, 14 January 2012 (UTC)

history of the petroleum industry in Canada

What are you doing? The link is to the text of the book from which most of the history derives. What in the world are you thinking? The book was published by a well-known publisher, it was written by three well known authors and it was the source of that history. This is madness!

Category:Years in Canadian music

Moxy we now have Category:1964 in Canadian music to date! I have not written any of the accompanying articles. I have added the Canadian Albums Chart for each year to the category and to the music project. I will do the same for the RPM (magazine) singles charts. In fact, I plan on citing the RPM Chart Lists. I managed to include a few articles of note for some of the years. Do you of any articles to include? It is obviously a work in process, but there are deletionists that will take a different view. Have a look! Argolin (talk) 05:10, 29 January 2012 (UTC)

• RPM (magazine) - started in 1964
• Terry Black - Top male vocalist: 1964
• Shirley Matthews - Top female singer: 1964
• Sarah Peebles - born
• Jed Simon - born
• Darryl Neudorf - born
• Denise Murray - born
• Brent Lee - born
• Jim Matt - born
• Michael Foster (musician) - born
• Krämer - born
• Gordon Downie - born

Actually, 1968 is thin. The category has only one article in it. The CfD people do not like that. I may be making more of it than necessary. We will see the categories in the Article Alerts if they want to delete any of them. I guess I could suck it up then and create the main article for the category. That's assuming the only want to delete the one cat.

I don't believe we are allowed to put Bio articles directly into the years in Canadian music category. I'll check though. I had great luck in the music festivals. I'm looking there now in the genre section. Care to help? Argolin (talk) 06:01, 29 January 2012 (UTC)

I will note what categories I've looked through for years in articles to add to these cats. We are having a restructure to the music festival categories and music by cities. Do you feel like writing any of the main articles? I wanted to get all the structure in place first so that, if needed, I'll have some content for the article.

I'm glad we've had this chat. After visiting Hendrix, I thought of a different method to get birth/death dates for our music bios. I have a sort of plan for getting birth/death dates automatically. So please don't worry about that aspect of it too much. Argolin (talk) 07:05, 29 January 2012 (UTC)

O i see - I get it now.Moxy (talk) 11:41, 29 January 2012 (UTC)

I will create the associated articles for the years under Category:Years in Canadian music. I've seen, what the 4 we have already, and thought wow! where did Bearcat get all the info for the article. The information is out there in a few places. I'm still organising the Canadian music festivals (and adding the category yyyy in Canadian music). I do have a method for birth/death dates. There were eight deaths in 1968 in Canadian music for example. The 1968 in Canada article only lists one Canadian musician!Argolin (talk) 21:35, 29 January 2012 (UTC)

Another editor is adding foreign chart lists to the Canadian articles. What's up with that? I thought the article was for events in Candian music? Argolin (talk) 21:51, 29 January 2012 (UTC)

Cited

Moxy, List of RPM number-one singles of 1964 is done sort of. I think we need to change the table slightly. Some of the rows are grouped where the #1 didn't change week to week. I've always taken the title to mean that there would be a list of 52 regardless. The server at LAC is very finicky. Argolin (talk) 11:34, 29 January 2012 (UTC)

Ok i will take a look ..PS great job!Moxy (talk) 11:41, 29 January 2012 (UTC)

Hi. When you recently edited Multiculturalism, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Christian Democratic Union (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver).

Peer review limits changed

This is a notice to all users who currently have at least one open peer review at Wikipedia:Peer review. Because of the large number of peer review requests and relatively low number of reviewers, the backlog of PRs has been at 20 or more almost continually for several months. The backlog is for PR requests which have gone at least four days without comments, and some of these have gone two weeks or longer waiting for a review.

While we have been able to eventually review all PRs that remain on the backlog, something had to change. As a result of the discussion here, the consensus was that all users are now limited to one (1) open peer review request.

If you already have more than one open PR, that is OK in this transition period, but you cannot open any more until all your active PR requests have been closed. If you would like someone to close a PR for you, please ask at Wikipedia talk:Peer review. If you want to help with the backlog, please review an article whoe PR request is listed at Wikipedia:Peer review/backlog/items. Thanks, Ruhrfisch _><>°^° 01:53, 3 February 2012 (UTC)

1964 in Canadian music

Moxy, check it out: 1964 in Canadian music! And here I was worried about content. If you would like to help, surprisingly, it is not by adding Album/Songs/ etc. content. It's by bannering articles with {{WikiProject Canada}} music=yes. Argolin (talk) 04:50, 3 February 2012 (UTC)

LOL "1964 in Canadian music" thats funny. - As for the banner talk to User:MSGJ - hes our banner master.Moxy (talk) 04:52, 3 February 2012 (UTC)

I enjoy reading these "years in" articles. No we all are banner masters. I could not have put it together without articles assigned to our music project. That's why the Songs/Albums section is so thin. I didn't bother too much with those sections as I know that most songs/albums have yet to be added to the Canadian music project.

Talk:Prime Minister of Canada - Ministerial Infoboxes

Hi, Would you like to voice your opinion about this topic? I see you are an experienced editor, so if you want to, please contribute to the discussion. 174.7.90.110 (talk) 20:37, 4 February 2012 (UTC)

Sure I will take a look.Moxy (talk) 22:23, 4 February 2012 (UTC)

Oh yeah, by the way, besides the list I provided on the talk page, a number of government ministers of various countries use the same political infobox that I am proposing. Exmaples include the UK, Germany, United States, and the EU. Most countries do not have infoboxes for their ministers of foreign affairs, defence etc. but when you look at the ones that do, they all use the new version of the infobox, even the Australian ministers use it (not the prime minister, but the ministers of defence, etc. do). The only one left out is indeed Canada. 174.7.90.110 (talk) 23:58, 4 February 2012 (UTC)

Lets give it a bit of time see what others have to say (a day or 2)- if noone new comes we will make a request for others not involed to join the topic.Moxy (talk) 00:00, 5 February 2012 (UTC)

Sure thing! By the way, I never got to thank you for getting involved. I'm new here, and I simply asked the people on the talk page to join in on the conversation. If you have any tips for me on Wikipedia, I'm all ears. 174.7.90.110 (talk) 00:04, 5 February 2012 (UTC)

Thanks for the information! I'll definitely consider creatng an account after this discussion has been resolved. 174.7.90.110 (talk) 00:34, 5 February 2012 (UTC)

Hey Moxy. I just wanted to ask if you think a consensus has been reached. From what I see, including me, there are four people who think that the political infobox (my preference) is a better choice, and there is only one person (Miesianiacal) who disagrees. I asked this on the talk page, but I want your opinion: has a consensus been reached? Thanks, 174.7.90.110 (talk) 22:18, 5 February 2012 (UT

I responded to your question. 174.7.90.110 (talk) 00:26, 6 February 2012 (UTC)

ARE YOU UP FOR IT? Talk:Prime Minister of Canada 174.7.90.110 (talk) 03:34, 6 February 2012 (UTC)

Hi Moxy. I know I've been asking a lot of you, but first off, you seem like you support my proposal to change the infoboxes to the standardized one used accross Wikipedia, so if you still feel this way, could you clearly state your support on the talk page, because I want to make sure Miesianiacal knows that you support this. Second, do you believe with four supporters (including you and me) VS. one person who opposes constitutes a consensus being reached? Thanks, 174.7.90.110 (talk) 00:02, 7 February 2012 (UTC)

A discussion has been started at WP:CANADA. I hope you will read everything I wrote, I know, I know, it's long... Sorry in advance, but I'd really appreciate it if you read it. :) Thanks, 174.7.90.110 (talk) 05:49, 7 February 2012 (UTC)
