Vancouver East or East Vancouver?

Welcome. I am sorry that I had to revert your edits to Vancouver East. This article relates to the federal electoral district only. It is not a general article about East Vancouver. If you have any questions, leave a message on my talk page. The information you provided may fit into Downtown Eastside, or another article about Vancouver neighbourhoods. Regards, Ground Zero | t 18:05, 18 October 2005 (UTC)

• Vancouver East refers only to the electoral district, not to the East Vancouver neighbourhood. The boundaries of Vancouver East change every ten years or so when federal ridings are redistributed to reflect population changes. I think, perhaps, you should start a new article called East Vancouver for information about the neighbourhood. If you have any questions, you can leave a message on my talk page. Regards, Ground Zero | t 20:47, 18 October 2005 (UTC)

• Hi Hu Gadarn: you can review an older version of any article by clicking on the "History" tab a the top of the page. So there you can read the article as you last edited it. Another thing that I'd like to point out is that normally Wikipedians communicate by leaving messages on people's talk pages (like I'm doing now), rather than by e-mail. E-mail is only used when Wikipedians want to discuss things not related to Wikipedia, or there is some other reason for not wanting to make their comments public. (I had to learn that lesson the same way: when I first joined, I e-mailed someone, and was told what I'm telling you know.) With any powerful tool, like Wikipedia, there is a lot to learn. Don't be afraid of making mistakes. I hope you enjoy yourself here. If you have any questions, feel free to leave a note on my talk page. Regards, Ground Zero | t 19:25, 25 October 2005 (UTC)

Thanks for the information. I have now started and am working on an article on "East Vancouver" (and not Van. East). Hu Gadarn 15:23, 6 June 2006 (UTC)

Manitoba (disambiguation)

Caribou has been added to the page tons of times, and it has been removed the same number of times. There seems to be someone who really doesn't want Caribou mentioned on that page. Do you have any idea why? Qutezuce 04:41, 2 June 2006 (UTC)

Maybe someone (associated with/ who supports) the guy who threatened to sue "Caribou" for using the name? Who knows? I'll keep checking in on the page. Hu Gadarn 05:03, 2 June 2006 (UTC)

When you want to revert a page back to a previous version you many find it helpful to do the following: goto the history of the article in question, then click on the date of the last good version that you want to revert to, then click "edit this page", mark the edit summary "rv" or something similar, and then save the page. Qutezuce 05:14, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

Hmmm ... I think that I may find this information useful. Thanks, Hu Gadarn 06:19, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

Hey, thanks for the heads up, man. Whoever this guy is he/she is very annoying.--Lairor 20:50, 5 June 2006 (UTC)

You're welcome. I bet s/he didn't play well with others as a child.Hu Gadarn 21:24, 5 June 2006 (UTC)

I agree. It seems ridiculous to continuously go into an article and remove valid additions. They were also removing the link markup that I placed on their OWN entries... obviously someone needs more to do with their time. The only suggestion I could make is to have the page protected from non-registered users' edits, but I don't know if an admin will go for it. Here's the link to that policy: Wikipedia:Protection policy. Cheers! --Alan 02:22, 6 June 2006 (UTC)

East Vancouver map

Well, those maps were based on the official Vancouver neighbourhood maps found on the city's website. I don't think they have a clear definition of which neighbourhoods are part of "East Vancouver," so creating one at this point may be tricky as it may be based on original research (which, of course, is a no-no). I'd love to try to make one if someone finds a good source for it.

Also, I didn't understand your second post to my talkpage. I don't remember "vandalizing" a page like that, nor do I remember editing it. Can you please jog my memory? I also don't remember using all caps in anything I do either. -→Buchanan-Hermit™/?! 16:54, 7 June 2006 (UTC)

Note: I never edited the Haryana article. Am I missing something here? -→Buchanan-Hermit™/?! 16:57, 7 June 2006 (UTC)

Oh okay. I saw what happened [1]. I reverted your edit not because it's not accurate or anything like that. The reason for it was that it was written in caps and the sentence structure did not seem coherent. It also lacked sources and citations (which would violate WP:OR), and the use of the word "wrongly" violates WP:NPOV (as that word always has a POV slant to it). Also, the last part was added in the wrong place -- sections of an article should NEVER go after the categories. You may re-enter that information, but please make sure that a) your additions are properly cited and supported by other sources (to maintain verifiability) and b) they are written in a coherent manner that would make sense to outsiders as well (i.e. NO CAPS). If you wish to emphasize a point, don't use caps; instead, try using italics (which can be done using ''these marks''. Thanks. -→Buchanan-Hermit™/?! 17:04, 7 June 2006 (UTC)

No, I didn't write that entry about vandalizing. It was written by another user. I merely added a section heading (because s/he didn't have one and I didn't want it to be confused with my entry (re. the East Van maps). I also added the comment about the caps for the other user (not directed towards you). Hu Gadarn 17:17, 7 June 2006 (UTC)

Yeah, I just realized that (edit conflict seconds ago while I was striking out my reply above). Thanks. :) -→Buchanan-Hermit™/?! 17:19, 7 June 2006 (UTC)

The wiki entry on East Vancouver discusses the boundaries. Complicating this is that Ontario Street is the divide, which bisects two Vancouver communities. Hu Gadarn 17:21, 7 June 2006 (UTC)

Okay, I'll take a look and see what I can come up with, if I find the time. :) -→Buchanan-Hermit™/?! 17:24, 7 June 2006 (UTC)

Alright, I made one based on the information I found on that article. I had to use a combination of solid colors and dotted patterns, for neighborhoods that are only partially in East Van. Also, I added East Van to the {{VancouverNeighbourhoods}} template so more people can find this neat article. :) -→Buchanan-Hermit™/?! 03:49, 8 June 2006 (UTC)

did you remove my theorem?

Did you read my theorem? From the Author of: Concepts of Modern Geometry. Unsigned comment from skishows

I'm not sure to what you refer. Can you provide me a link to where you think I removed your material? Also, please do not use my "user page" to post comments, use this ("discussion") page. Thanks, Hu Gadarn 18:07, 14 December 2006 (UTC)

Barbarian

In the context of the article, barbarian is being used in the neutral manner, as correctly and commonly used by historians and contemporaries. It is also more accurate, as "goth" is a term with a lot of controversy over who the goths were and what made up the goths. Finally, the sentence only makes sense when talking about barbarians as a whole. -- Stbalbach 16:53, 15 December 2006 (UTC)

24.125.0.232

The user has not been warned since January 31, 2007, so I cannot block the user as of now. I have left a t4 warning, and if the user vandalizes again, I will block.

Also, you'll get a faster response (in a matter of minutes) if you submit your vandal reports to WP:AIV. Thanks, Nishkid64 21:30, 9 February 2007 (UTC)

Mickey Beyer Clausen

I have removed the {{db-spam}} template from Talk:Mickey Beyer Clausen, as the talk page was not the "target" for the speedy deletion template. If you wish to nominate an article for speedy deletion, you should add the notice to the article instead. Aecis^Brievenbus 00:46, 10 February 2007 (UTC)

RE: Query re warning unregistered vandals

You simply press the discussion tab as you normally would and place the text in the edit box. After pressing the Save page button it will create their new talk page. Hope this helps.¤~Persian Poet Gal ^(talk) 18:06, 28 February 2007 (UTC)

Oh! If you meant what kind of template you use to warn them, then just take a look at this for a full list.¤~Persian Poet Gal ^(talk) 18:08, 28 February 2007 (UTC)

Proposed merge of Anthony Smyth

Proposed for deletion Audrey Tang

Adding Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Audrey Tang. Hu Gadarn 21:08, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

Please see my comments on Talk:Audrey Tang. I'm sure you felt strongly that the article's subject was not noteworthy, but in future perhaps a bit more discussion first would resolve your concerns? -Harmil 18:23, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

BLP edits to various articles

I'm letting you know that I've made serious and major edits to several articles relating to the Christian Brothers sex scandal, because these articles made unfounded and potentially libelous claims about living people. For example, Joseph Burke cannot, repeat cannot, be described as a "sex offender" because the sex offence convictions were overturned. These edits were undertaken to bring the articles into compliance with Wikipedia ethical standards and the biographies of living persons policy. Thank you. FCYTravis 22:07, 3 April 2007 (UTC)

Disambiguation

You wrote in an edit summary for the disambiguation page David Moore, "rm multiple redlinked entries - please either create an article or do not add" Actually, I believe that Wikipedia disambiguation policy allows red ink links on disambiguation pages. See, for example, Wikipedia:Manual of Style (disambiguation pages)#Redlinks where its says in part: "Links to non-existent articles ("redlinks") should be included only when an editor is confident that an encyclopedia article can be written on the subject. Adding links to articles not yet written should be done with care. There is no need to brainstorm all occurrences of the page title and create redlinks to articles that are unlikely ever to be written, or likely to be removed as insufficiently notable topics. Do include a redlink when another article links to the ambiguous article with none of the disambiguation options in mind." I emphasize the Do include a redlink.

In particular, the following three individuals all have another article linking to them.

1. David Moore (botanist) (1808-1879), English botanist
2. David Moore (Colonel), American Civil War soldier
3. David Moore (shooter), Australian pistol shooter

I have consistently removed additions to the David Moore disambiguation page where I found the entries lacking in notability. --Bejnar 23:02, 10 October 2007 (UTC)

I'm afraid I don't know what you're talking about. --G2bambino (talk) 19:32, 10 January 2008 (UTC)

The First Cathedral

On 1 March 2007, you made the following statement regarding my contribution to the April 12th page.

Someone has made an entry regarding a (redlinked) church. I propose that this be deleted. I welcome your thought. Thanks, Hu Gadarn 15:23, 1 March 2007 (UTC

I, until know have not came across this statement. That being said, I suggest that you click The First Cathedral, and read about the notability of The First Cathedral in regards to trend setting status within The New England region of the United States.

Your AIV report

Thank you for making a report on Wikipedia:Administrator intervention against vandalism. Reporting and removing vandalism is vital to the functioning of Wikipedia and all users are encouraged to revert, warn, and report vandalism. However, it appears that the editor you reported may not have engaged in vandalism, or the user was not sufficiently or appropriately warned. Please note there is a difference between vandalism and unhelpful or misguided edits made in good faith. If they continue to vandalise after a recent final warning, please re-report it. Thank you!

Nomination of Edward English for deletion

The article Edward English is being discussed concerning whether it is suitable for inclusion as an article according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Edward English until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on good 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 template from the top of the article. Bilby (talk) 01:49, 7 January 2011 (UTC)

File copyright problem with File:Tol-bok_for_boy.JPG

Thank you for uploading File:Tol-bok_for_boy.JPG. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can determine the license and the source of the file. If you know this information, then you can add a copyright tag to the image description page.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their license and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 10:39, 7 January 2011 (UTC)

Hello Hu Gadarn, the reason for this request is that laws state that copyright has to be granted in writing (or typing), this means that you have to say something about what your license is. {{PD-self}} means that you release all rights you have. {{CC-BY-SA-3.0}} means people can use it or modify it, but your work has to be recognised or attributed with a name or dedication that you supply. There are a few other possibilities but I won't promote them. So pick the license you want to supply your work with and paste it into the file description page. That will avoid this problem. The reason copyright is taken seriously is the mission of Wikipedia, which is that it is a FREE encyclopedia, that is free to use. The license proves it is free rather than just being unknown or assumed something. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 21:55, 7 January 2011 (UTC)

Pentecostal Assemblies of Canada

I've responded to your comment on Talk:Pentecostal Assemblies of Canada. I agree and will try to expand the article. Also, I've linked to the church's Statement of Fundamental and Essential Truths. If you wanted to learn more about it though for now, I'd look at the Assemblies of God USA. The PAOC is the AG's Canadian counterpart and the two are very close theologically, culturally and historically. Ltwin (talk) 18:45, 18 May 2011 (UTC)

Hey again. Since you commented on the talk page, I'd thought I'd make you aware that I've added a beliefs section to the article. Ltwin (talk) 05:28, 14 August 2011 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Windsor Street (Vancouver)

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Windsor Street (Vancouver), requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, group, product, service, person, or point of view and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Organizations for more information.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator. PRAXIDICAE🌈 12:00, 24 July 2022 (UTC)
