Provincial parks

Hi, just a couple of notes about your sandbox pages for provincial parks in BC.

You shouldn't actually file a sandbox page directly in an article category until it's ready to go live; you can put a colon before the word "category" in the category link (like [[:Category:this]]) to make it a text link, and then remove the extra colon when you're ready to move the page into real article space.
Category:Provincial Parks of British Columbia is already a subcategory of Category:Geography of British Columbia, so you shouldn't file an article in both categories simultaneously. Wikipedia actually has rules about this.

No big worry, I see you're fairly new around here, so you may not have known this yet. Bearcat 09:00, 15 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Big Sur

Thanks for your thoughtful edits to the Big Sur article. I like your picture placement changes. Scooterboss 20:30, 28 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hey, no problem, Scooterboss. The article was a great read; really makes me want to visit the place. Cheers! →smably 20:50, 28 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

SS Valencia

On 29 August, 2006, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article SS Valencia, which you created. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the "Did you know?" talk page.

Thanks for the contribution! -- Samir धर्म 01:56, 29 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Strathcona Provincial Park

Thanks for the editing of the work I did yesterday on this article. Every one of them is an improvement that I should have caught in making the changes to your article when I did them. Such collaborations achieve a positive result, glad to work with you on it. Just reading about the Valencia, an article that I had thought should be done. Pleased to come across it, a well done article! Cheers. KenWalker | Talk 18:50, 29 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the message, Ken! You did an excellent job of expanding the Strathcona article. It's always great to find other Wikipedians who are interested in similar topics. :) Cheers! →smably 19:13, 29 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Could you specify which sentences do not have the correct "tone" so I can fix them? Pepso 09:19, 6 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Fort Rodd Hill

Hi Smably!

Hope I haven't caused a lot of extra work or hair-pulling; as you can tell, I'm a newbie here, and pretty much feeling my way on the Fort Rodd story (particularly working the images).

A couple of questions--the images: I'm the Curator at Fort Rodd & Fisgard Lighthouse NHSs; the images that I have used are from our Parks Canada collection--our usual criteria is "no commercial repro & give Parks and the photographer, where known, a credit." What licence style should I be using on Wikipedia (given that I'm the one responsible to give permission for use of these images!)

Let me know how I can make your life easier! Thanks for your assistance. -Dave Storeswallah 22:26, 10 January 2007 (UTC)—The preceding unsigned comment was added by Storeswallah (talk • contribs) 22:25, 10 January 2007 (UTC).[reply]
