Citations at 'Canadian federalism'

I've put in a request at Template talk:Harvard citation no brackets for some assistance in getting the harvnb reference templates to work with the cite court reference template. I tried various ways of doing it, to no avail. Hopefully someone more experienced there can help. --Ħ MIESIANIACAL 21:30, 12 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

More information needed about File:Haltonr.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:Haltonr.jpg. However, it needs some more work before it is okay to use on Wikipedia.

Please click here and do the following:

Add a description of where the image comes from (not what it is) and who the creator is. Please be specific, and include a link if you can.
Find the appropriate license from the list of free, non-free media, or public domain options. Copy the license template and paste it in the file's page, and save.

If you follow these steps, your image can help enhance Wikipedia. If you have any questions, feel free to ask at the media copyright questions page.

Thank you for your contribution! --ImageTaggingBot (talk) 17:05, 18 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

File permission problem with File:Map tsr 1918.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:Map tsr 1918.jpg. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file agreed to license it under the given license.

If you created this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either

make a note permitting reuse under the CC-BY-SA or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or
Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en@wikimedia.org, stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here. If you take this step, add {{OTRS pending}} to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.

If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-en@wikimedia.org.

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:File copyright tags#Fair use, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See Wikipedia:File copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too.

File copyright problem with File:Map tsr 1918.jpg

Thank you for uploading File:Map tsr 1918.jpg. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright and licensing status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can verify that it has an acceptable license status and a verifiable source. Please add this information by editing the image description page. You may refer to the image use policy to learn what files you can or cannot upload on Wikipedia. The page on copyright tags may help you to find the correct tag to use for your file. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem.

Please also check any other files you may have uploaded to make sure they are correctly tagged. Here is a list of your uploads.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 19:10, 10 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Non-free rationale for File:Gray-whelan-martin-elect-1962.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Gray-whelan-martin-elect-1962.jpg. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under non-free content criteria, but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia is acceptable. Please go to the file description page, and edit it to include a non-free rationale.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified the non-free rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page.

Scotch Block, Ontario

I was very specific when I reverted each of your edits. I will not engage in a edit war with you, and will ask you to kindly explain the rationale for your edits on the article talk page. Thank you. Magnolia677 (talk) 11:38, 20 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks and some questions...

First off, I want to say thanks for the great editing you have been doing to the Chartered Professional Accountant page and the Chartered Professional Accountants of Canada page. I am relatively new at Wikipedia editing, so your input and additions are much appreciated. I think its appropriate to act more collaboratively in the future, so I want to ask your opinion of some more changes I think the Chartered Professional Accountant page needs.

1. I would like to remove the section "Origin of name." It seems outdated and irrelevant. What do you think?

2. The "Impact" section is 5 years outdated. I believe the sources are from 2012, and the section is speculative in nature. Perhaps one of us can find some source/sources that have a more recent discussion of the impact of the CPA designation on public perception, etc...?

3. Right now the article is rated as a "Start class" article. I think that designation is quite inaccurate, and should probably be changed to at least C-class. Do you agree?

I would be happy to hear from you about these issues and any others you might want to bring to my attention. One other thing- is your Talk page the right place for this discussion, or is it more correct to discuss this on the article's Talk page? I thought about placing it there, but then I wasn't sure if you would see it. I am happy to move the discussion to the article's Talk page, if you think that is more correct. Thanks again. SaturnsRings27 (talk) 06:14, 8 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the good words! Being a Canadian CPA, I've felt it to be my duty to assemble the various facts together for this, such as they are. I'm surprised, though, that none of my fellow members have felt compelled to join in. Canadian accountants have always been a very insular bunch. As to your comments:

I'd prefer to keep the discussion about the name's origin, if only to show that it was not purely a Canadian creation.
Agreed. There has been almost nothing available from third parties these past few years to rely on, in order to update the section. The Bottom Line, Canada's accounting periodical, ceased publication last December, and CPA Magazine has mentioned nothing in its issues. I recently noticed that the Canadian Academic Accounting Association has just published some research about the impact of the merger, but I haven't had the chance to look at it. I'll give it a go and update.
If you feel the article deserves a C-class rating, go ahead and update.

Perhaps future discussion can take place on the articles' talk pages. They're on my watchlist, and I do check it regularly. Thanks again.Raellerby (talk) 10:28, 8 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Chartered Professional Accountants of Canada

Hi, I noticed that you have been editing Chartered Professional Accountants of Canada so I thought you might like to know that I just took off a speedy deletion tag from that article. I have no idea why the tag was placed there, but it seemed to me inappropriate. From my point of view the article seems important and should not be deleted.

Autopatrolled granted

Hi Raellerby, I just wanted to let you know that I have added the "autopatrolled" permission to your account, as you have created numerous, valid articles. This feature will have no effect on your editing, and is simply intended to reduce the workload on new page patrollers. For more information on the autopatrolled right, see Wikipedia:Autopatrolled. Feel free to leave me a message if you have any questions. Happy editing! TonyBallioni (talk) 02:36, 21 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Image is still too big for non free - text is not a criteria for non-free image - as policy states - An original, high resolution image (that can be reasonably scaled down to maintain overall artistic and critical details) may lose some text detail. In such cases, that text should be duplicated on the image description page. Care should be given to the recreation of copyrighted text: while it is appropriate for credits from a movie poster as factual data, such duplication would not be appropriate for an original poem embedded within an image. It's sometimes better to use a block quote on the article. A one megapixel image is very large for non-free and would have to have a very good reason and community support to stay.

Template:Canadian federal election, 2019

I've rolled back your changes because:

Symbols instead of text reduce clarity, not improve it.
The % where running column gives an accurate impression of the strength of the BQ and minor parties that are regional in nature. It is not redundant.
N/A was used for new parties in 2015, not dashes; if a dash were used an em-dash would be more appropriate.

I developed the template by adapting the code used in the template for the 2015 results. I'll test your removal of text-align coding and use that if it doesn't break the table.

I do thank you for (indirectly) making me aware of forgetting to use asterisks to mark unmarkable columns for new parties.

Table

On Results of the 2019 Canadian federal election, I've been trying to do make a similar table you made for the closest ridings by vote count by I'm having trouble. So, I was wondering if you could do the 20 closest ridings by voting percentage and the 20 largest margins of victory by voting percentage.

Google Code-In 2019 is coming - please mentor some documentation tasks!

Hello,

Google Code-In, Google-organized contest in which the Wikimedia Foundation participates, starts in a few weeks. This contest is about taking high school students into the world of opensource. I'm sending you this message because you recently edited a documentation page at the English Wikipedia.

I would like to ask you to take part in Google Code-In as a mentor. That would mean to prepare at least one task (it can be documentation related, or something else - the other categories are Code, Design, Quality Assurance and Outreach) for the participants, and help the student to complete it. Please sign up at the contest page and send us your Google account address to google-code-in-admins@lists.wikimedia.org, so we can invite you in!

From my own experience, Google Code-In can be fun, you can make several new friends, attract new people to your wiki and make them part of your community.

If you have any questions, please let us know at google-code-in-admins@lists.wikimedia.org.

Thank you!

Updates to Template:UCC

Hi!

Since you are the original creator of Template:UCC, I thought I'd make sure you were looped in on an update I made just now that added the ability to cite a subsection. e.g. UCC § 2-314(2)(b) . (And I certainly don't mean to imply that you are fungible :) ...) I added the Template:UCC/sandbox and Template:UCC/testcases pages and everything seems to work just fine. Since you were the original creator, if you had a minute to double check the test cases and also to make sure that I didn't miss something that would break the template.

Hope you're well!

Proposed deletion of List of marginal seats in the 2015 Canadian federal election

The article List of marginal seats in the 2015 Canadian federal election has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

This article is 100% unreferenced. The idea that these are all somehow marginal seats is WP:OR, not backed up by any WP:RS that asserts that.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Nomination of List of marginal seats in the 2015 Canadian federal election for deletion

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article List of marginal seats in the 2015 Canadian federal election 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 marginal seats in the 2015 Canadian federal election 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. Ahunt (talk) 15:22, 8 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

MPPs

Hi, I have been going through the Quebec general election pages and noticed numerous references to MPPs. Please note that it is only in Ontario where members of the legislature are referred to as MPPs (Member of Provincial Parliament). In most provinces they are MLAs (Members of the Legislative Assembly) and in Quebec MNAs after 1968 (Members of the National Assembly) and in Newfoundland MHAs (Member of the House of Assembly). I don't know if you have used the same templates and charts in provinces other than Quebec but if you have can you please be careful to use the *correct* term for a member of the province's assembly in each province rather than use the Ontario-only term MPP? Wellington Bay (talk) 17:51, 31 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Wellington Bay Quebec used the designation MPP prior to 1968. Check the dates of the articles. Raellerby (talk) 19:01, 31 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Wellington Bay Quebec has used MPP informally since its creation, and formally since 1955: See Deschênes, Gaston; Levy, Gary (1983). "What's in a Name: Titles of Federal and Provincial Legislators" (PDF). Canadian Parliamentary Review. 6 (2): 27.. I checked that out before I started using it in these articles. Raellerby (talk) 19:16, 31 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

You're partly correct. This was only the case from December 1955 until 1968. The 1955 act can be found here page 3912. See also Member_of_Provincial_Parliament_(Canada)#Quebec Wellington Bay (talk) 19:20, 31 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, but you continued to use MPP in the 1970, 1973, and 1976 election articles. Wellington Bay (talk) 19:23, 31 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

And the speech by Duplessis cited in Member_of_Provincial_Parliament_(Canada)#Quebec makes it clear that MPP was a new designation when the law was passed in 1955 and that previously members had been more commonly referred to as MLAs or, in French, MALs (which Duplessis found problematic). Wellington Bay (talk) 19:30, 31 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Wellington Bay Sorry about the later articles. However, the article I cited (which I just inserted the URL for) says that MLA was never used in practice prior to 1955, but MPP was. As Deschênes worked for the Library at the National Assembly, I'd say that is a reliable source. Raellerby (talk) 19:51, 31 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Well, MPP was the title pre-Confederation and it probably persisted as a legacy (in a quick search I noticed it being used in Quebec in the late 1800s, at least), but if MLA/MAL had not been in common usage by the 1950s that wouldn't explain Duplessis's speech or his feeling that the title needed to be codified. Anyway, I didn't know MPP had ever been used in Quebec so you have me there, sorry for the earlier lecture. Wellington Bay (talk) 21:20, 31 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Wellington Bay I've generally been skeptical of citing political speeches, especially when more reliable sources appear to be at hand. It's probably best to say what was actually used at the time in question. As the article I've referenced notes, legal sanction for a member's designation only seems to have ever been in effect between 1955 and 1982 (after which the relevant provision was repealed), but the National Assembly still uses MNA to style its members. MPQ had also been adopted in the period 1968-1971. Should we update 1970 Quebec general election to reflect that? That would be preferable for the sake of consistency of treatment, but we'll need to explain that further in the body of the article. Raellerby (talk) 22:41, 31 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
