List of Divided Islands
[edit]Thanks for your contribution to List of divided islands. A few months ago, I was going to create this article myself, but was pleased to find it's already here, and with such attention to detail. I never knew there were others besides myself interested in this topic. Regards, Newyorkbrad 14:38, 17 September 2006 (UTC)
Thx! I'm a mature Law School student and all the Public International Law study (archipelagic states, continental shelf, etc.) revived my interest in world geography... :-) I have also written some stuff in time zones, especially European ones... Varlagas 14:46, 17 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit]When making multiple edits in one session, please use either "Show preview" or "Show changes" (below the edit window) to review your edits. Do not use "Save page" until you are satisfied with all of your edits. Every Save page results in an entry in the Page history which is excessive. — Joe Kress 05:11, 3 October 2006 (UTC)

ICJ Opinion on Nuclear weapons
[edit]Hi,
Thanks for contributing to the above article - it's good to know I'm not trying to sort it out on my own. I have one question about your edits: you changed the name of the registrar, and I'm pretty sure it was correct in the first place (working from the actual ICJ documents) so I reverted the edit. I could be wrong, though, so it would be good to know where you got your information from.
Cheers, --Jim (Talk) 12:27, 8 January 2007 (UTC)
Disambiguation link notification for October 9
[edit]Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Minority-majority state, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Territory (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Demographics info
[edit]Hi there. I noticed you've been adding demographics data to GTA-related articles. Could you please attach the source you use when you add this info. If it's from Statistics Canada (as I assume it is), you can use the {{SCref}} template to simplify the process.
I've updated the article for King, Ontario to use the ref I had already added earlier this year. Use it as an example (the actual ref is the third one listed in the references section of the article at the time I edited it).

[edit] Hello, I'm Hwy43. I noticed that you made a change to an article, List of Canadian census areas demographic extremes, but you didn't provide a reliable source. I've removed it for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so! If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page.

[edit] Please do not add or change content, as you did at Greek Canadians, without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. Dr. K. 02:13, 4 December 2017 (UTC)
I went through all entries as this for CMAs and likewise for provinces and computed detailed and correct tables. Better than having Quebec with 100.000 Greeks and no citations. That's OK - I don't mind - keep it at the previous sorry state instead. A "lacking citation" comment would be greatly appreciated rather than deleting all this work of mine. http://www12.statcan.gc.ca/census-recensement/2016/dp-pd/prof/details/page.cfm?Lang=E&Geo1=CMACA&Code1=535&Geo2=PR&Code2=01&Data=Count&SearchText=toronto&SearchType=Begins&SearchPR=01&B1=Ethnic%20origin&TABID=1 Panagiotis Varlagas
- Could you possibly add the link you just provided to your table? If not, I can help you. Dr. K. 02:23, 4 December 2017 (UTC)
Fixed it. Sorry, I spent a couple of hours working on this, and when it vanished for the lack of a straightforward citation I went crazy. Thank you for pushing it to put this editorial dispipline... :) Cheers - PV
- Thank you very much for your understanding and your great work. I have struck my message above, as it is not needed any longer. Best regards. Dr. K. 02:51, 4 December 2017 (UTC)

Nomination of List of majority minority Canadian federal electoral districts for deletion
[edit]![](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/5/5f/Ambox_warning_orange.svg/48px-Ambox_warning_orange.svg.png)
A discussion is taking place as to whether the article List of majority minority Canadian federal electoral districts is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.
The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of majority minority Canadian federal electoral districts until a consensus is reached, and anyone, including you, is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.
Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article. Bearcat (talk) 15:21, 24 April 2019 (UTC)

[edit] Please do not add or change content, as you did at London, Ontario, without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Please add an inline citation to support your edits. Thanks. Magnolia677 (talk) 23:21, 12 September 2019 (UTC)
Note taken. Added Census page citation to ethnic origins data in London, Aurora, etc. Thanks for goading me to be tidy. A question though: you refer to my Montreal edit as “unencyclopedic”; what do you mean by that? Varlagas (talk) 14:56, 14 September 2019 (UTC)
- "For the benefit of American readers" is unnecessary and unencyclopedic. Magnolia677 (talk) 16:01, 14 September 2019 (UTC)
Got it. Thx Varlagas (talk) 20:14, 14 September 2019 (UTC)
