I've recently been trying to substantially help that page, and I was very happy to see that you took time to look through it. Thank you!!! [[User:Kiwiboy121|Kiwiboy121]] ([[User talk:Kiwiboy121|talk]]) 14:41, 21 February 2011 (UTC) == British Columbia == You ignored our Constitutional convention of Canada - just because a party selected its leader does not make one automatically the premier. It only happens upon swearing-in by the LG (oaths, the Commission from the Crown, etc) and until such time, she is just the designate. --[[User:Cahk|Cahk]] ([[User talk:Cahk|talk]]) 03:24, 27 February 2011 (UTC) * The constitutional convention in Canada is that the leader of the majority party becomes premier -- is there any instance where a governing party has elected a new leader and the Lieutenant-Governor has rejected the choice? My point is that no-one is "sworn in as "premier-designate". Premier-designate is not an office -- it is a media designation to indicate that someone has been designated to become premier. [[User:Ground Zero|Ground Zero]] | [[User talk:Ground Zero|t]] 03:26, 27 February 2011 (UTC) ** Fair enough, I wasn't clear on my first edit. My point was, until all the formalities are completed, she is still not the premier (and no, the term 'designate' is used during the swearing-in ceremony so it's not just a media term) --[[User:Cahk|Cahk]] ([[User talk:Cahk|talk]]) 03:29, 27 February 2011 (UTC) ***I agree that she is the premier-designate now, but she will be sworn in as the premier. I've never heard a swearing-in ceremony, so I'll take your word for it, but it is not an official position. It is a term that has been invented recently to avoid the egregious and just plain wrong Americanism "Premier-elect". Regards, [[User:Ground Zero|Ground Zero]] | [[User talk:Ground Zero|t]] 03:32, 27 February 2011 (UTC) **** Each ministers of the Crown must be sworn in at the Government House (after an election, cabinet shuffle, etc). The Premier-designate is called upon by the protcol officer to the LG for her oath of office, etc. Only after such formalities are completed would she be called 'Premier' in the speeches. And yes, I agree with you it's not a position because there can only be one chief advisor to the Crown. --[[User:Cahk|Cahk]] ([[User talk:Cahk|talk]]) 03:36, 27 February 2011 (UTC) == William Balfour (general) == Hello, Ground Zero. I've been working on the [[William Balfour (general)]] article. I noticed you called him English. This is probably correct as far as it goes. If I understand the source article, he was born in Scotland and became "naturalised" English. I'm sort of thinking out loud here, but, how would he have described himself? I know Scots are very proud of Scotland. Whatever you can tell me about your research, or even just your thoughts, I would appreciate. Thanks! --[[User:Kenatipo|<span style="color:#933;font-family:Monotype Corsiva;cursor:help">'''<big>Kenatipo</big>'''</span>]] ^{[[User talk:Kenatipo|speak!]]} 16:43, 27 February 2011 (UTC) *I didn't actually call him English, but rather an English parliamentary general. I see how that can be misleading, so I have suggested what I hope is a clearer formulation.

[[User:CIC7|CIC7]] ([[User talk:CIC7|talk]]) 22:53, 6 March 2011 (UTC) == Request == You recently contributed to [[Big Chuck and Lil' John]]. I am requesting your input on the article's discussion page at [[Talk:Big_Chuck_and_Lil'_John#Subject:_Hosts_or_Show.3F]]. Thank you. [[User:Levdr1|Levdr1]] ([[User talk:Levdr1|talk]]) 19:32, 14 March 2011 (UTC) == Country references == Hello. I noticed [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Summerhill-North_Toronto_CPR_Station&action=historysubmit&diff=418756933&oldid=418736684 your recent edit]. Yoho2001 is a good and well-intentioned editor, who has made some very valuable contributions to Wikipedia, esp. in relation to heritage sites. But he has insisted for years on removing references to Canada from articles. I raised the issue with him in 2007 and 2009, if you look at his talk page. It was like talking to a wall. I don't say that to be uncivil, but that's what it felt like. In other discussions he's mentioned that it comes across as insecure and self-conscious to mention the word Canada. He seems perhaps to completely miss the point (international encyclopedic, not everyone in the world knows where Ontario is, it's basic information), and keeps insisting it's a style decision. I personally have stopped arguing with him about it (I don't like getting into prolonged arguments with editors that I otherwise like), and just reverse his deletions whenever he does it with appropriate edit summaries.--[[User:Skeezix1000|Skeezix1000]] ([[User talk:Skeezix1000|talk]]) 15:56, 19 March 2011 (UTC) ==Norwegian nobility== Thank you for the correction in this article. --- [[User:Aaemn784|Aaemn784]] ([[User talk:Aaemn784|talk]]) 12:04, 21 March 2011 (UTC) == References == Excuse me, but I have noticed that you have been editing several articles about Canadian electoral districts, and have referenced your information - this is, of course, good, and I am glad you have done so. However, you seem to have not noticed that several of these articles had not previously had any references on them, and thus had not previously had reasons to have reference sections or lists of references. If you could perhaps check that an article has a reference section when adding references (and even adding one if there is none), it would be suggested. Thank you. [[User:Layona1|Layona1]] ([[User talk:Layona1|talk]]) 02:00, 24 March 2011 (UTC) *Will do. I shouldn't have assumed there were reflists already. Thanks for catching that.

You are adding the wrong link to numerous articles, and it is a nuisance to fix. See one of the corrections I had to make (one of many, I might add): [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Brandon%E2%80%94Souris&action=historysubmit&diff=423911590&oldid=423378835 Latest revision as of 14:48, 13 April 2011]. --[[User:Skol fir|Skol fir]] ([[User talk:Skol fir|talk]]) 19:54, 13 April 2011 (UTC) :Noted.

Specific by-laws regulating the space within Y-D Square were passed by Toronto city council as a condition to encourage a private concern, Cadillac Fairview, to build the square. Per Ruppert, Evelyn S. (2006). Note pp. 68–9 in particular. link: http://books.google.com/books?id=yXzXVn4HQQoC&lpg=PR9&ots=xT5om_egxO&dq=Yonge-Dundas%20Square%20private&lr&pg=PA68#v=onepage&q=private%20square&f=false Also, in Smith, Christopher (2004), p. 159: "the author quotes Toronto police chief Julian Fantino as saying: 'a problem is now arising where portions of the public believe that Dundas Square is a public space;' (13). This passage dramatically reinforces the sheer hypocrisy inherent in the marketing of Dundas Square, which has consistently been advertised as being an explicitly "public" space; nowhere in the "public" discourse surrounding the project is the term "public-private partnership" employed." link: http://pi.library.yorku.ca/ojs/index.php/public/article/view/30361/27889 Finally, in Rahder, Barbara & Richard Milgrom (2003), The Uncertain City: Making space(s) for difference, in ''Canadian Journal of Urban Research'', 13(1), p. 37 "In the case of Yonge-Dundas Square, uses of a 'public' space are suppressed and managed to project a safe image of harmonious diversity to potential urban investors and tourists." And on p. 35: "[Yonge-Dundas Square] is heavily regulated, and permits are required for anything but the most passive activities." <span style="font-size: smaller;" class="autosigned">— Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/132.216.228.116|132.216.228.116]] ([[User talk:132.216.228.116|talk]]) 02:01, 10 July 2011 (UTC)</span><!-- Template:UnsignedIP --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot--> ==number== You have 186^th place in most edits (85179).
