Hi

My mistke, but don't you think that it should be removed from those categories and put into the "Notable people" heading so readers can find it much, much easier? How would you know to go to the Culture section to find notable people? I believe it should have its own category. Thanks. Vaselineeeeeeee (talk) 21:32, 29 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Edits to Dalton McGuinty

Hi, I noticed you recently made some changes to the Dalton McGuinty biography page, including the deletion both of the infobox notation as to religion and its removal from the Category of Canadian Roman Catholics, despite it being noted in the article as a noteworthy fact about McGuinty. I have noted that you also have been doing so for other Canadian political officeholders, whether it is mentioned in the article, sourced or neither of those two. I was wondering if this was pursuant to a policy on Officeholder articles generally. Homagetocatalonia (talk) 19:38, 6 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, thanks for your reply. I cannot say that I agree with your perspective as to what should go into a wikipedia page, but I don't think I need to question that perspective to make a case for leaving the mentioned category/infobox link in on the Dalton McGuinty page. It notes as a notable fact that he is the first Roman Catholic premier since John S. MacDonald to hold the premiership. In the context of Ontario politics and the historic (and arguably current) importance of religion on politics in that province, it seems like that fact is worthy of note. If his religion is worthy of note in the body of the article in relation to his politics, then I would think it should be included in the infobox even if the infobox content should be restricted only to information relevant to his political career. Alternatively, the sentence noting his religion in the article as a notable political fact should be removed. If however you think that the reference to his religion in the article can be left in while also barring mention of his religion in the infobox, I'd appreciate hearing your views on that.

DYK for Ontario Liberal Party leadership election, 1976

On 24 June 2015, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Ontario Liberal Party leadership election, 1976, which you recently created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that David Peterson, Premier of Ontario, Canada, from 1985 to 1990, characterized his 1976 convention address as the "worst speech in modern political history"? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Ontario Liberal Party leadership election, 1976. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, live views, daily totals), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

Dalton McGuinty

Dear EncyclopediaUpdaticus I have been complaining about remove content from infobox it is inappropriate for right of Wikipedia SO I want you to revert the normal version or else I will do? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 41.69.63.171 (talk) 05:46, 15 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Terence Young (politician)

You previously made major updates to the Provincial politics and Federal politics sections at the article Terence Young (politician). Many thanks. I have just completed a major revision to the Drug advocacy section. Given we are in an election and this is a sitting MP, I would appreciate any further suggestions for improvement. Nevertheless, I think the {{Multiple Issues}} template can now be removed. Comment at the talk page. --papageno (talk) 03:33, 11 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Jim Foulds

Listen, buddy. It was Jim Foulds who was the poker player. If you are one of the many who believe it was Nic Tubb, that is fine but I know the truth. It was Jim, trust me. Don't come on here accusing me of vandalism. Where is your proof?

Haste makes waste

Thanks for your communication explaining why you reversed my correction in the article on Mark Adler. Of course, you were mistaken to correct my edit. Mark Adler did hold that political job, you are right. However, it was listed in the "before politics" section of the article and therefore not accurate. I did explain the purpose of my edit, perhaps you should check the context before making a correction and accusing another editor of not reading references. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Yosl00 (talk • contribs) 04:26, 4 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Infobox "term dates"

Hi there, I have a quick question about the "term dates" in Canadian political articles that I was hoping you could help me with. In the past, I have seen numerous editors removing the election wikilinks and replacing them with actual dates. Edit summaries usually read something like cleanup, or use actual dates not election links, etc. I know I have removed quite a few myself as I thought this was correct because it was other experienced editors doing this. I was wondering if that's been changed, because there are IP editors adding them back to many articles, with edits like this[1], [2], and [3]. According to edit histories its been going on for several weeks without anyone questioning the edits, so if the IP is wrong, they have a pretty good head start. Any ideas about this? Thanks.

Rae Ministry

I understand it looks like they all served at the same time, perhaps in a compromise we can make an article detailing the cabinet roles for Rae's Ministry and allowing the template to stand, it's how we've done it with The Prime Ministerial Ministries --Jack Cox (talk) 15:54, 12 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

ArbCom elections are now open!

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

Jane Philpott

You are not being very helpful here. Jane Philpott is not Charles Darwin. Darwin's article does not, in fact, list everything he wrote; it lists his notable books, and there is a huge difference, as anyone should know, between publishing books that change the course of science and history and publishing a few articles. Philpott, no matter what her other merits, is not notable as a physician or a scholar (WP:PROF). And there's more to that article: a list of non-notable awards: awards given out by university departments are never of encyclopedic value, and university awards aren't either, unless they're special named awards that have an article, for instance, or are otherwise proven to be of value--proven by way of secondary sourcing. likewise, "Coin for Every Country" does not appear to be notable and that very fluffy section lacks proper secondary sourcing; "co-curator of TEDxStouffville" is promotional and is sourced only via a link to TED itself (TED being plugged shamelessly all over Wikipedia). One wonders, by now, whether you are editing this article in a neutral manner, and I may take this to the article talk page. Drmies (talk) 17:54, 12 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

My only dispute is with the Published works section on Philpott's page. Please discuss it on the article talk page. EncyclopediaUpdaticus (talk) 20:13, 12 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Persondata

I don't know the reason why you decided not to answer on my talkpage (perhaps the ping didn't worked), so we will talk here: First, forgive me for removing Persondata. Second, I would like to point that users such as @Ser Amantio di Nicolao: and @Dan Koehl: said that it's OK to remove it, because it was depreciated. Third, I checked the info in Wikidata regarding Persondata and I see no difference in removing it manually or wait until the bot do it. Such an example will be this. After verifying with Persondata in this article and its identical info in Wikidata, I came to understanding that removing it will be fine. But, either way, I will wait for a coherent response from the rest of the party...--184.97.253.159 (talk) 16:56, 7 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Well this is out of this world but our KasparBot does a bit of a poor job. Look here.
