Canadian Live 8 Site

Source(s) confirming Barrie? Otherwise it's pure speculation, and Misplaced Pages is not a Crystal Ball. Let's not jump to any conclusions w/o any references to back your claim up.

And we're going to need something more substantial than "undisclosed sources confirm... blah blah" on some random music site like this... . If this was true, the more mainstream media would have jumped on this lead already.

LGBT rights opposition

Hi, I just noticed the LGBT rights opposition category you listed yourself under. This category is usually reserved for articles about LGBT rights opposition, not users who support it. There are categories specially for Wikipedians that you could list yourself under. Acetic Acid 04:10, August 26, 2005 (UTC)

Objections to Salvation Army Doctrines

Placing a comment on Misplaced Pages talk:Articles for deletion is not the way to nominate an article for deletion. That page is for discussion of Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion itself. You've done step 1 of the process that is laid out at Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion#How_to_list_pages_for_deletion. Please now do steps 2 and 3 if you wish the article deleted.

However, note that deletion is not the way to render the neutral point of view. That's done through simple editing, with discussion on the article's talk page if there is a disagreement. Deletion is not involved. Please read our Misplaced Pages:deletion policy, paying special attention to the "Problems that don't require deletion" section. Uncle G 17:10:35, 2005-09-05 (UTC)

Baseball on Wikicities

Hello SFrank85, Googie Man here and I want to ask you something as a fellow baseball fan on Wikipedian. Jimbo and Angela have made a new webstie called Wikicities. This link in particular will take you to the baseball Wikicity. As you'll see it's similar to Misplaced Pages, but my hope is this will allow baseball fans to do more and different things, like reporting on games, in depth statistics, create mulitple pages for pictures, and whatever else baseball fans care to create. You've done great work on Misplaced Pages and I was hoping you could help get this baseball Wikicity off the ground. Please let me know what you think either at my talk page, or you can email me at terry@wikia.com. Thanks! Googie Man, 20:38, 3 January 2006.

Election poll dates

The date shown for an election Opinion polling in the Canadian federal election, 2006 poll should be the date the poll was completed! I fixed for the Ekos Jan 5th poll. Thanks for adding though, I didn't know Ekos was going daily! Nfitz 19:12, 7 January 2006 (UTC)

    • Ah, interesting ... I don't get the Star. I guess there are some other results we are missing. Was it the Jan 5th results that were in Saturday's paper? Nfitz 21:30, 7 January 2006 (UTC)
    • Are you sure it wouldn't be Jan 5th results in Saturday's paper? The Globe always runs 2 days later (likely because they wouldn't finish making the phone-calls until 10 PM PST, which would be 1 AM local time in Toronto, and too late to process data and turn-around for Saturday edition). I haven't seen any Jan 6 Ekos results; their website has only the Jan 5 results which they released on Jan 7. Nfitz 18:26, 8 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Well, we could figure it out by the numbers ... The EKOS press release on January 7th for polling completed January 5th, was quite clear about the polling dates. Are the numbers in this release matching what is in the paper copy of the Star for Friday (6th) or Saturday (7th)? I'd trust the Ekos press release, over what the Star reported.

Hi there! I'd like to invite you to explore Wikimedia Canada, and create a list of people interested in forming a local chapter for our nation. A local chapter will help promote and improve the organization, within our great nation. We'd also like to encourage everyone to suggest projects for our national chapter to participate in. Hope to see you there!--DarkEvil 17:11, 20 January 2006 (UTC)

David Miller

Sorry for removing your last edit.

Btw, do you have any interest in becoming an administrator? We had a few disagreements when you first arrived on Misplaced Pages, but I don't have any quarrels with what I've seen of your recent edits. CJCurrie 03:12, 5 February 2006 (UTC)

  • That's ok, I know sometimes it is hard to find the small edits.

I never thought of becoming an administrator. I would have to really think hard about it, but as of right now, it really is not a goal of mine. SFrank85 15:47, 5 February 2006 (UTC)

Thanks

Hi! Just wanted to say thank you for your support on the Monk talk page. I've made the change now. Palpalpalpal 00:41, 14 February 2006 (UTC)

Hey, no problem. SFrank85 01:08, 14 February 2006 (UTC)

Stephen Harper

Sorry about the bad revert on the article. I must have hit the wrong button. Thanks for catching it. CambridgeBayWeather (Talk) 23:08, 26 February 2006 (UTC)

No problem, we all make mistakes. SFrank85 23:18, 26 February 2006 (UTC)

You said that Harper's sister is mentioned in the biography by William Johnson, but I notice that another editor has removed any mention of her. I took a quick look through the book and can't find it. Can you give me a page number? HistoryBA 02:31, 3 March 2006 (UTC)

I'm curious to know why you reverted my edit. Is the information not verifiable and relevant ? No Guru 23:42, 4 March 2006 (UTC)

The edits that you deleated were relevant, and the Ethics Commish. "Ethics" has been questioned by the PM and other conservatives. SFrank85 23:54, 4 March 2006 (UTC)
I should have just checked the top User page first. It explains all. No Guru 23:57, 4 March 2006 (UTC)
I am a conservative, yes but I have never made partisan edits on wikipedia, ever. SFrank85 00:00, 5 March 2006 (UTC)
No Guru: We're supposed to assume good faith here. If you're not willing to do so, maybe you shouldn't be editing on Misplaced Pages. Why don't you try justifying your edit on the dicussion page to see if others agree with you? HistoryBA 00:10, 5 March 2006 (UTC)
Sfrank - I would describe that edit as partisan. It's okay to state in the article that the Ethics Commisoners motives are questioned in some corners. It's not okat to delete relevant, factual information because you don't like it. No Guru 00:30, 5 March 2006 (UTC)
BA I replied on your talk page. No Guru 00:30, 5 March 2006 (UTC)
I was the one who did not deleate anything on that page, you did. It should be added that the PMO and the conservatives has questioned this investigation. SFrank85 00:36, 5 March 2006 (UTC)
I'm sorry Sfrank I just went to review my edit to the Stephen Harper article. I made a mistake when I went about reverting the deletion of this content:

On March 3, 2006, Ethics Commissioner Bernard Shapiro announced that he was launching a preliminary inquiry into conflict-of-interest allegations against Emerson and Harper. Shapiro says he will look into what influence may have been wielded in the decision by Emerson to cross the floor.

By mistake, at the same time I also deleted this paragraph -

On March 3, 2006, Ethics Commissioner Bernard Shapiro announced that he was launching a preliminary inquiry into conflict-of-interest allegations against Emerson and Harper. Shapiro says he will look into what influence may have been wielded in the decision by Emerson to cross the floor. The probe was widely criticized as partisan since Shapiro was Liberal appointed and he had turned down earlier requests to investigate Belinda Stronach's floor-crossing, as well as Tony Valeri's questionable land deal. Shapiro had also been under fire from former NDP leader Ed Broadbent for "extraordinarily serious credibility problems".

When you reverted I was confused, not fully understanding what I had done. My apologies and happy editing. No Guru 01:08, 5 March 2006 (UTC)

No problem. Take care! SFrank85 01:29, 5 March 2006 (UTC)

Dalton McGuinty

What do you think about the recent edits regarding that article? Most of it is over the 1999 election. Since CJCurrie once mentioned you as an potential admin, maybe you could mediate a solution to the edit war I've been having with him. GoldDragon 03:06, 12 April 2006 (UTC)

List of Canadian political parties by time in office

Hi, I'd just like to remind you that when keeping the political parties' time in office up to date you have to update both the total number of days and the calendar length beside it (in years and days). -arctic gnome 01:39, 15 April 2006 (UTC)

List of Canadian Prime Ministers by religious affiliation

Hi, I've noticed that you've changed Harper's former and current religion, and I was wondering if you could list whatever source from which you got your information so that the page looks a bit more legitimate. The list currently has no sources for anyone, so if you know of a good reference for the other PMs too, it would help. Arctic Gnome 12:57, 12 May 2006 (UTC)

Okay, but if Christian and Missionary Alliance is a type of Evangelical Protestantism, shouldn’t we list him by the former in the article for the sake of specificity? Just saying "Evangelical Protestantism" seems vague. Arctic Gnome 15:22, 13 May 2006 (UTC)

"War on terror"

The reason why a propganda term cannot be used without quotation marks and comment in a header is layed out in the discussion, pointin to it while reverting does not seem logical to me. Añoranza 19:19, 20 May 2006 (UTC)

Stephen Harper's church

Would you please explain why you are so hostile to the fact that he was raised in the UCC? I have, after all, provided a citation. Carolynparrishfan 22:16, 16 June 2006 (UTC)

For one, where is your citation, and for second, he was raised in a presbyterian church, not the United Church of Canada. SFrank85 00:40, 17 June 2006 (UTC)

Look at the discussion at Talk:Stephen Harper. Right beneath my quote and citation you abruptly wrote "Now since we know he was never a member ...". For easier access, look here . Carolynparrishfan 01:05, 17 June 2006 (UTC)
