Reversions at Eckhart Tolle article

You have now repeatedly reverted a cited content from https://vancouversun.com/news/staff-blogs/eckhart-tolle-has-insights-but-not-the-answer, that aims to present a critical view of ET and balances the current exalted status that is being pushed by his company people, who are also edited and contributing to his wiki article.

Let's discuss this on the talk page for the article -- which is what you should have done the first time your edit was reverted, by the way. I dig your username, dude. Regards. Rray (talk) 13:57, 24 June 2021 (UTC)

Notice of edit warring noticeboard discussion

Hello. This message is being sent to inform you that there is currently a discussion involving you at Misplaced Pages:Administrators' noticeboard/Edit warring regarding a possible violation of Misplaced Pages's policy on edit warring. Thank you. Cigarlover (talk) 17:32, 24 June 2021 (UTC)

Great! I'm looking forward to getting some additional opinions about your changes to the article. Thanks for the heads-up Rray (talk) 19:19, 24 June 2021 (UTC)

This issue needs to be investigated and being escalated to User:Barkeep49. In the meantime, it will be good if you could WP:DISCLOSE your affiliation to Eckhart and his organization, so we know that there is no WP:COI--Cigarlover (talk) 20:53, 24 June 2021 (UTC)

I addressed this on the Administrators' noticeboard, already, but dude, I don't even LIKE Tolle, much less have any affiliation with his organization. I don't know what you're hoping to accomplish, but I promise you that making silly accusations won't help you achieve any of your goals here. Rray (talk) 20:58, 24 June 2021 (UTC)

Spider-Man; Why not reverted back his martial arts and hand-to-hand combat skills in infobox article

Hi this is Eliab, um so I kinda noticed that one of Marvel superhero Spider-Man's abilities in the infobox, martial arts is deleted, but according to Spider-Man's powers and abilities, he is said to be honed in martial arts by using his spider powers due his years of fighting crime, and there's the evidence that after Spider-Man is self-taught in martial art moves that are reliable to his powers, next; there's the evidence that he was trained by Captain America and Shang-Chi, a two martial art superhero experts, so why revert like "Master martial artist and hand-to-hand combatant" in the infobox in Spider-Man?

This would be something to discuss at the article's talk page rather than on my user talk page. Also, you shouldn't insert your comments in the middle of discussions on someone's talk page. They're in order for a reason. Rray (talk) 14:54, 25 August 2021 (UTC)

Request for collaboration

Hi,

I am preparing the article Gambling in Quebec. It is my first article so I am looking for facilitation to avoid common mistakes. I have found that you have already created a similar article about USA. In few hours I will be ready to show it. If you will think that it is too raw for the main space I will just try to rework it. Also, I tried to avoid any brands and give a basic overlook for a question. So let's keep in touch! User cruiser Ben (talk) 16:59, 4 January 2022 (UTC)

Here it is Gambling in Quebec includes Casino gambling in most crowded cities of the region, Lottery, Société des casinos du Québec and Sports betting. Games of chance have existed during the prohibition era but became legal in Quebec only in 1985 when gambling was made legal in the country. Unlike most Canadian provinces where the minimum age for gambling is nineteen, in Quebec, along with Alberta and Manitoba, the minimum age is eighteen.

Lottery

Gambling in Quebec is controlled by a government corporation Loto-Québec. It was created for control and operation of legal gambling authorities in Québec. To permit lottery schemes in provinces, Loto-Québec was started in December 1969 after the emendation of the Canadian Criminal Code and set up the first lottery in the country. The corporation began ticket sales for the monthly passive game Inter Loto fast on the heels of the foundation. The first drawing of that lottery was dated March 14, 1970. Additional games launched that year included the weekly Mini and the quarterly Super.

In 1971, Loto-Perfecta was launched by Loto-Québec with a new mechanical wager-registration system. A differentiating feature of that lottery was the determination of its results - by horse races. Move towards a new era, and video games started in 1978 when Loto-Québec launched its first computerized terminal games. The first game title of that time, 6 /36 lotto, still exists and is available to play.

Net revenues from Loto-Québec operations are turned over to the government, and the funds are used, in part, to finance health and education services, infrastructure improvements, and provincial debt reduction.

Société des casinos du Québec

Loto-Québec is a huge government corporation, and for the more particular control of the industry, it has a couple of separate and several subsidiaries. The Société des casinos du Québec - is one of such subsidiaries. It is a supervisor of four casinos running in the Quebec province by the government: Casino de Charlevoix, Casino de Montréal, Casino du Lac-Leamy and Casino de Mont-Tremblant.

In December 1992, Quebec authorities announced the approval of the construction project of two casinos run by the government. Montreal's casino on Île Notre-Dame was the first one, and a gambling facility at Pointe-au-Pic in the Charlevoix region was the second casino from that announcement.

As the major government corporation created for the gambling control, Loto-Québec delegates its authorities not only with the Société des casinos du Québec Inc but also with such subsidiaries as Resto-Casino Inc and Casiloc Inc. The Société des casinos du Québec Inc is in charge of building and constructing the casinos and overseeing their operation processes. Resto-Casino Inc operates all the restaurants and bars on the territory of the casinos. Casiloc Inc assumes responsibility for acquiring, building and overseeing casino facilities.

Sports betting

Many of the leading bookmakers from the 1930s to the 1960s got their start during the prohibition era of the 1920s. But sports betting became legal in Quebec only in 1985 when gambling was made legal in the country. It took several years before the gaming sector in Quebec grew to its current size. In 2021 the igaming market makes around $80 billion a year and average operator makes $2 million.
