List of municipalities in PEI?

Hi there, hope all is well. Last year you mentioned that you would like the lead in co-nominating the List of municipalities in Prince Edward Island page for featured list, but that you were quite busy at the time. I'm assuming you are still busy or maybe taking a break from wikipedia but I'm wondering if this is still your intention? If so, I'm happy to wait as long as it takes. Your dedication to improve all the Canadian municipality pages has been outstanding. Even if you are no longer interested, thanks for all your efforts keeping such an organized and informative system. Mattximus (talk) 21:40, 8 June 2019 (UTC)

Mattximus, we were waiting for PEI to publish 2016 estimates for those municipalities not yet recognized as census subdivisions by StatCan (since happened), and the new MGA to come into force (since happened). Then, we were waiting for StatCan to publish its annual interim list of population adjustments for the Brackley amalgamation.

When StatCan finally published its 2018 interim list, it concurrently implemented mass changes so that all municipalities became census subdivisions to accurately reflect them and their boundaries here. If you can make sense of all the resulting 2016 population transactions for the municipalities here, and if we were to update the list to implement, would this be a large WP:SYNTH violation? Wondering if we nominate as is or update to reflect the changes and then nominate if it wouldn't be a SYNTH violation.

Regardless, might be worth waiting until StatCan's 2019 interim list is out so that we can acknowledge the three amalgamations that occurred in late 2018. Perhaps copying the list article to sandbox space would be a good way to go about navigating next steps.

The great news is StaCan and PEI have collaborated to fix the inconsistent census subdivision approach to PEI municipalities, so in future censuses we won't have to overcome the key estimation delay issue first presented above after the next census. Cheers, Hwy43 (talk) 05:12, 11 June 2019 (UTC)

City articles bad edit

There is no need for the same data 2 or 3 times in different formats not saying the same thing in one section ...plus the demographics articles have the same charts....thus since proses if preferred we should just keep that.--Moxy 🍁 05:21, 23 July 2019 (UTC)

Calgary for i.e

According to the 2016 Census, 59.5% of Calgary's population was of European origin, 4% was of Aboriginal heritage, and 36.2% of the population belonged to a visible minority (that is, non-white, non-aboriginal) group. Among those of European origin, the most frequently reported ethnic backgrounds were British, German, Irish, French, and Ukrainian. Among visible minorities, South Asians (mainly from India or Pakistan) make up the largest group (9.5%), followed by Chinese (6.8%) and Filipinos (5.5%). 5.4% were of African or Caribbean origin, 3.5% was of West Asian or Middle Eastern origin, while 2.6% of the population was of Latin American origin. Of the largest Canadian cities, Calgary ranked fourth in proportion of visible minorities, behind Toronto, Vancouver, and Winnipeg. 20.7% of the population identified as "Canadian" in ethnic origin.

	Japanese	5,170	0.4%
	Other visible minority	4,410	0.4%
	Mixed visible minority	13,895	1.1%
Total visible minority population		442,585	36.2%
Aboriginal group	First Nations	27,915	2.3%
	Métis	19,705	1.6%
	Inuit	550	0%
Total Aboriginal population		46,385	3.8%
European		704,040	57.6%
Total population		1,239,220	100%

My concern, at this moment, is the deletion of historical population templates. Please take this to Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Canadian communities/Structure guideline#Historical population templates to where I have started a thread is as to keep everything together.

Category:Indian government districts in British Columbia has been nominated for discussion

Category:Indian government districts in British Columbia, which you created, has been nominated for possible deletion, merging, or renaming. A discussion is taking place to decide whether this proposal complies with the categorization guidelines. If you would like to participate in the discussion, you are invited to add your comments at the category's entry on the categories for discussion page. Thank you.

Thanks for the notice, BrownHairedGirl. You likely didn't see the recent similar proposal at Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2018 October 28#Category:Resort municipalities in Prince Edward Island that was withdrawn after it was realized that WP:SMALLCAT allows such small categories that are part of large overall accepted sub-categorization schemes.

Population of Canada

Hi Hwy43. The sentence in the article is looking to convey that despite Canada being "second largest by area", it is sparsely inhabited. This clearly is linking a relationship between area and inhabitancy. If we are talking purely about area being inhabited, then water area is not relevant. People do not inhabit water. Canada is not the second largest by land area (it is only second by water+land), and stating "second largest by area" in the population inhabitancy article is misleading.

Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.38.31.51 (talk) 00:47, 11 October 2019 (UTC)

They're baccckkkk!!!! User:50.101.52.223

Jumping around some Ottawa based IPs it seems. Yes it's old, but it shows they've not given up yet. Their usual topics. Ottawa, urban planning and transit. Canterbury Tail talk 13:22, 15 November 2019 (UTC)

Yep, Canterbury Tail. Led a couple horses to water a few weeks ago, but neither took a drink. That IP's activity stopped just prior to that conversation ending. Perhaps the IP observed it. Hwy43 (talk) 01:30, 16 November 2019 (UTC)

		This maple leaf is awarded to Hwy43 for creating or expanding nearly 20 articles on Canadian communities during the third year of The 10,000 Challenge of WikiProject Canada. Congratulations, and thank you for your contributions! Reidgreg (talk) 17:17, 26 November 2019 (UTC)

Would appreciate your opinion, Kitchener, Ontario

Good morning, User:Hwy43. You are my go-to guy on articles about cities. This request would be very quick. There is a photo of a monument in this article, which happens to have a historic plaque. The image size is small so it's not really intended to actually read the wording on the plaque. Another editor first questioned whether a plaque erected by a city is appropriate.

He then questioned the value of the image in general on the Talk page.

See the Talk topic, Image of plaque

The photo is in the article section German heritage and was added to this important paragraph:

In 1897 a large bronze bust of Kaiser Wilhelm I, made by Reinhold Begas and shipped from Germany, was installed at Victoria Park, Kitchener to honour the region's prominent German-Canadian population.[53] It was removed and thrown into the lake by vandals in August 1914 at the beginning of the First World War.[54] The bust was recovered from the lake and moved to the nearby Concordia club, but it was stolen again February 15, 1916, marched through the streets by a mob, made up largely of soldiers from the 118th Battalion, and has never been seen again.[53] The 118th Battalion is rumoured to have melted down the bust to make napkin rings given to its members.[55] A monument with a plaque outlining the story of the original bust was erected in 1996 in the location of the original bust and its stand.[56][57] As the incidents with the bust suggest, there was certainly some anti-German sentiment in Canada.

As always, thanks for your insights. Cheers, Peter K Burian (talk) 14:58, 27 November 2019 (UTC)

Peter K Burian, unfortunately I have no opinion to share as I am indifferent to the issue. Hwy43 (talk) 08:10, 29 December 2019 (UTC)
