"The" Ukraine in 1944 MLA biographies

This is a small pet peeve of mine.|-( Please see Name of Ukraine#Syntax, _especially_ the reference notes.

Anyway, using "Ukrainian Canadian" when referring to their immigrant parent's generation is better, IMHO.:-)

Actually on second thought, using this -> [[Ukrainian Canadian#Settlement – First wave (1891–1914)|Ukrainian immigrants]] <- would be better. – Jwkozak91 (talk) 10:12, 1 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Page Move

I just moved Blackshades Remote Admin Tool to Blackshades, per WP:COMMONNAME. The qualifier is what disambiguation pages are for. If there is a need for such, please make such. I don't wish to start a move war, so if you do want to move it back, please go to the talk page and make a case, I will respond. If needed, an RfC can be started. Thank you.

Saskatchewan

Plip!

Saskatchewan is a province, not a city. Saskatoon is a city. "City of Saskatchewan" is not real. Nikkimaria (talk) 03:19, 30 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Missing Canadian politicians

Many thanks for creating the articles. I myself wanted to create these articles and nominate them for DYK. If you are able to create articles larger than 1500 characters and avoid copyvios I will nominate it for DYK provided it has some interesting fact in it. As you can see above, I have nominated several of your recent creations. The Russell Wilson article was to be featured on the Main Page today but it was pulled from the prep area because of copyvio concerns. Please avoid close paraphrasing and there won't be any problem in getting the articles to the Main Page.--Skr15081997 (talk) 14:10, 30 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of Ian Rusted

Hello Big iron,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Ian Rusted for deletion, because the article doesn't clearly say why the subject is important enough to be included in an encyclopedia.

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion, but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. Shiprabaxi1112 (talk) 12:49, 18 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
