Thanks, Anna!

Feel free to remove this, it is kinda big. Sharktopustalk 06:23, 29 January 2011 (UTC)

Hi. I reassessed from stub to list.[1] Also, I think I fixed an error in the article.[2] If that wasn't what you intended, please fix. Thanks. Viriditas (talk) 00:21, 30 January 2011 (UTC)
- Thank you. I will check out the fix you made. List of allergies is on my list of stubs to come back and fix up. As you have probably seen from my contribs, I make stuff and then come back way later to add to them. I'm not sure if you agree with that. Please let me know your thoughts. I guess it's the immediatist/eventualist thing. I just figure that most people don't have the wherewithall to make stubs. So, if they google a subject and it's not there, a chance is lost for it to grow. I try to plant the seeds. My next mission is to email schools in the Northwest territories to get photos of the lakes and settlements. A very sneaky way to recruit editors. Get 'em when they're young. Very "wikimissionary". :)
- By the way, secure.wikipdedia is blocked for me. Best, Anna Frodesiak (talk) 02:03, 30 January 2011 (UTC)
- I've replaced the links. Please check them again. If you run into this problem in the future, simply replace https and secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en with http and en.wikipedia.org. That's all you need to do to get the link to work. Viriditas (talk) 05:14, 30 January 2011 (UTC)
- Good calls on both edits. I'll go over the whole article soon.
- Thanks for the 'secure' tip. Best, Anna Frodesiak (talk) 08:48, 30 January 2011 (UTC)
Lac La Martre
I'm pretty sure that they are different. The Alberta one is too far south from what I could see. Cheers. CambridgeBayWeather (talk) 19:22, 31 January 2011 (UTC)
DYK for Faces of Meth
![]() | On 1 February 2011, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Faces of Meth, which you created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that the Faces of Meth project shows before-and-after images documenting physical deterioration caused by meth use? You are welcome to check how many hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, quick check) and add it to DYKSTATS if it got over 5,000. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page. |

- Anna, looks like you got somewhere between 14-15k hits. Good job! Viriditas (talk) 02:26, 2 February 2011 (UTC)
- Fantastic! I'm sorry I was too late in figuring out how to put your name on it. After all, you wrote most of it. And, testament to your good writing, not one tweak from one editor, except for converting a few hyphens. Very nice! Anna Frodesiak (talk) 03:08, 2 February 2011 (UTC)
- Do you think you will add it to DYKSTATS? BTW, the only reason I got so involved is because you challenged me on the article talk page! You said you didn't think it would be large enough, so I expanded it. :) Viriditas (talk) 08:38, 2 February 2011 (UTC)
- You certainly did expand it. I am very pleased, and surprised. I could only find enough to fill a paragraph. I will add it to DYKSTATS, and will add your name too. Best, Anna Frodesiak (talk) 09:11, 2 February 2011 (UTC)

Trout Lake, Northwest Territories
Hi. I moved Trout Lake (Northwest Territories) back to Trout Lake, Northwest Territories as it is a community rather than a geographic feature. As per Wikipedia:Naming conventions (geographic names)#Disambiguation, "With the names of cities, towns, villages and other settlements, as well as administrative divisions, the tag is normally preceded by a comma, as in Hel, Poland, and Polk County, Tennessee." and Wikipedia:Manual of Style (Canada-related articles)#Places, "For cities which do not qualify for undisambiguated titles, the correct title format is City, Province/Territory (the "comma convention")." It turns out there are 5 Trout Lakes in the NWT. One is the lake on which the community sits, one is Old Trout Lake and there are two more. The first is easy because it's Trout Lake (Dehcho Region, Northwest Territories) but the other two are both in the same region, North Slave Region. I've asked at Wikipedia talk:Canadian Wikipedians' notice board#Lakes and Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Lakes#Disambiguating lakes. Cheers. CambridgeBayWeather (talk) 01:48, 3 February 2011 (UTC)
- I'm trying to remember what I was thinking. I might have mistaken it for a lake. Thanks for mopping up my spill.
- I'm curious to see what the right procedure turns out to be regarding the Trout Lake super-dab. I'm watching the discussions.
- By the way, you mentioned US fed govt public domain sat maps. I was digging around USGS and places, but couldn't find the site. Also, I am guessing I can crop suitable maps, and upload as derivative works. Is that the procedure?
Finally, (and sorry to bug you with this), where on earth is the help page for doing the pushpin map thingy?(I think I've got it.)- It won't render. I suspect the problem is that the coordinates don't have seconds. Anyway, if you could please advise, or better yet, do Aylmer Lake, and I will follow what you did for all the others, I would be very grateful.
- Triple thanks. Anna Frodesiak (talk) 03:06, 3 February 2011 (UTC)
- No problem with the Trout Lake, by the way Trout Lake is popular. I think that this might be a starting point for the USGS maps. Also I think that NASA World Wind may be OK for screen shots to use here but I'm not positive. I'll have a look at the lake tomorrow as I'm on the laptop and it's not as easy as the desktop. I know that I've had problems with the pushpin maps as well. Where was the pushpin map thing located? Cheers. CambridgeBayWeather (talk) 04:26, 3 February 2011 (UTC)
- Thanks for the sat map links.
- A zillion Trout Lakes. Nice. Couldn't they have named them something a bit more original. Very Canadian. Don't we have 6 football teams, with 2 of them having the exact same name? :)
- The map link is here. I am just trying to swipe the format from other articles, but it doesn't seem to render. Let me know if you have any luck. Thanks. Anna Frodesiak (talk) 04:47, 3 February 2011 (UTC)
Obsidian Soul seems to have cleverly figured out the map thing. I will try to put it inside the infobox.
This USGS link you gave me has scary lines like: "Buy digital format on media", "Commerical distributors", and "Pricing Information". I found this page yesterday by searching for the string "public domain" on the USGS page: Gallery. It didn't have much. Please let me know if you come up with anything. Anna Frodesiak (talk) 06:50, 3 February 2011 (UTC)
- If you copy and past the whole {{Location map}} onto the line "|image_lake =" or "|image_bathymetry =" it will work. However, "[[file: |240px|alt=]]" then appears above the map. The other problem is that it works with {{Location map Canada}}, {{Location map Canada (equirectangular)}} and {{Location map CanadaGeo}} but not with {{Location map Canada Northwest Territories}}. I think that there is missing information at the NWT template. CambridgeBayWeather (talk) 15:12, 3 February 2011 (UTC)
- Thank you. I will wait and see if the NWT template gets fixed. Cheers. Anna Frodesiak (talk) 23:38, 4 February 2011 (UTC)
- There are three of them, NWT, NU and YT that don't work. I left a message at the Wikipedia talk:Canadian Wikipedians' notice board as the pushpin maps have quite a few uses. CambridgeBayWeather (talk) 00:58, 5 February 2011 (UTC)
DYK for Pseudobiceros bedfordi
![]() | On 5 February 2011, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Pseudobiceros bedfordi, which you created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that the flatworm Pseudobiceros bedfordi uses its two penises to engage in penis fencing (pictured)? You are welcome to check how many hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, quick check) and add it to DYKSTATS if it got over 5,000. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page. |

Mentor Request
Hello:
I am willing to get more involved in Wikipedia edition, for we have some projects for Wikipedia in Indiana University. I notice that you are currently in Guangzhou city, where I am come from, and now I am studying in the US. So could you please be my mentor? For our project, please leave some message to my talk page.
Thanks very much — Preceding unsigned comment added by TiMkOk (talk • contribs) 23:29, 9 February 2011 (UTC)
- Greetings. I see that you asked both PrincessofLlyr and me around the same time, and she agreed first. I think a good idea is that she be your mentor, but if you need help and she is not online, you can ask me. Is that okay? By the way, I am in Haikou, not Guangzhou. Best, Anna Frodesiak (talk) 23:55, 9 February 2011 (UTC)
- Bulleted list item
Thanks so much~ I asked for a mentor some days before, but I haven't received any reply. As the project approaching, I just asked different mentor at the same time. Sorry about that. I am glad to know you can help me when PrincessofLlyr is not available
Hope you have good days in Haikou, and have fun in China. Most importantly, go to Guangzhou sometime
