Salisbury, New Brunswick

Would somebody mind keeping an Salisbury, New Brunswick? There's an editor there who made his account solely to right some wrongs about how the governance reforms were conducted. They've already been blocked once and I don't feel like trying to explain how a village election isn't considered notable enough to put on the page. I suspect they're a member of some sovereign citizen movement; they think a new council could overturn the amalgamation they blame on the sitting mayor. G.

Newspaper Archives

Hey everyone, I wanted to make this to let any WP:NEWB members know that I have access to https://da.tj.news/, the Telegraph-Journal's newspaper archive, incase anybody would like for me to search for anything. I've been using it to expand upon articles a few times now and I don't mind helping out if somebody would like for me to look up something.

PSA: Just keep in mind that the search function is relatively broken, and searching with quotation marks (example: "Cranberry Sauce On a Plate") doesn't often work. I found a slight workaround that sometimes works by using "%22" (HTML encode for a quotation mark) instead of placing quotation marks around the words I search, but it doesn't always work and sometimes does not showcase all articles with that phrase. Otherwise, I am more than happy to help! B3251 (talk) 17:21, 3 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

 You are invited to join the discussion at Wikipedia talk:Content assessment#Proposal: Reclassification of Current & Future-Classes as time parameter, which is within the scope of this WikiProject. This WikiProject received this message because it currently uses "Current" and/or "Future" class(es). There is a proposal to split these two article "classes" into a new parameter "time", in order to standardise article-rating across Wikipedia (per RfC), while also allowing simultaneous usage of quality criteria and time for interest projects.

Albert County, New Brunswick and counties in general

An editor, @PonapsqisHous:, has fixated on a single usage of the term county to mean the municipalities that were abolished in the 1966 Municipalities Act, despite being pointed toward active legislation and continued use of the term by governments for non-municipal purposes. While a third editor has agreed with me, I think something more formal is needed. Could somebody more senior/level-headed than me please take a look? Relevant uses include:

  • Territorial Division Act
  • Use as Census divisions.
  • Post-1966 use for defining electoral districts.
  • Other provincial Acts and regulations that use the counties to define boundaries of non-municipal administrative units such as forestry and highway departments.

Thank you for any help G. Timothy Walton (talk) 00:46, 16 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@G. Timothy Walton I think making a request at WP:RFC or WP:3O, or even WP:DRN if absolutely necessary, would be a good idea. B3251(talk) 01:47, 16 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@B3251 I think this is where I'm supposed to start, but I could easily be wrong given how my mind glazed over reading some of the WP: stuff. G. Timothy Walton (talk) 01:54, 16 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
No objection of course. I just typically bring up discussions in more broad areas since the WikiProject only has a handful of active editors. If a discussion is made to invite non-NB editors for comment, I'm more than happy to participate in it. B3251(talk) 02:02, 16 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
