Martin Couture-Rouleau

I had to move your redirect because Rouleau's incident was not in Ottawa; it was in Quebec. News article Since his incident can't support an article yet, I hope you're not offended that I moved it to List of terrorist incidents, 2014#October temporarily. Thank you for contributing! --Discuss-Dubious (t/c) 00:36, 23 October 2014 (UTC)

You've lost me.

What's the deal here?

A passport is a thing you can get if you're a citizen. The Stanley Cup is the thing you can get if you're a hockey player. If it doesn't make sense to pipelink "He was a minor hockey player", it doesn't make sense to say this guy applied for Libyan citizenship. I mean, the term's right there in the infobox as an eligibility requirement. So it can't logically be the same.

Can it? InedibleHulk (talk) 23:26, 23 October 2014 (UTC)

I wanted to make a difference between ethnicity French-Canadian people and Libyan people. Nationality is not the same as ethnicity. (An ethnic Chinese immigrant becomes Canadian national after 4 years, but still ethnic Chinese. When the ethnic Chinese possesses Canadian nationality could if he/she wants to apply for a Canadian passport. But even without a paper Canadian passport in his/her pocket, the ethnic Chinese is still a Canadian national as a result of naturalization in Canada.) Dowincolao (talk) 23:36, 23 October 2014 (UTC)

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.
