Hi, thanks for doing that list of past moves, did you come across how the current title was arrived at? Looking at the list, between 28 August 2007 and before 3 May 2009? Selfstudier (talk) 17:23, 23 August 2022 (UTC)

Thank you for copy editing the draft of the RfC on the deployment of Vector (2022). Given that you've read the text carefully, do you maybe have any opinion about anything we've shared there? For example, any thoughts on the questions in the ombox? SGrabarczuk (WMF) (talk) 15:15, 5 September 2022 (UTC)
While I you might not feel that this work is important, this information was well researched and offers more information about what RFO was doing in his time as a MP. Most MP pages don't have a lot of information about the work they do. I do not see the harm in including this information unless the goal is to limit peoples access to information. There is also not a lot of space where well researched information like this can be made available. I am asking if you could restore the information. Robert-Falcon Ouellette

Thanks for uploading File:AEFO logo.jpeg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).
Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. HapHaxion (talk / contribs) 16:49, 7 November 2022 (UTC)
The file File:OECTA logo.jpeg has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
Redundant to File:OECTA logo.svg which is hosted on Commons
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 files))
notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the file's talk page.
Please consider addressing the issues raised. Removing ((proposed deletion/dated files))
will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and files for discussion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. Salavat (talk) 00:31, 15 November 2022 (UTC)

Your editing on Canada could be disruptive. What's your logic behind not capitalizing a proper noun? Estar8806 (talk) 03:46, 25 January 2023 (UTC)
Your recent editing history shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war; read about how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.
Being involved in an edit war can result in you being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you do not violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

Hi - I see you have moved a few articles relating to Canadian military people. There is extensive precedent for including the country in the disambiguation. We use "(British Army officer)" consistently to disambiguate all British Army officers e.g. Colin Mackenzie (British Army officer). We also use "(United States Army officer)" to disambiguate United States Army officers e.g. Richard Marshall (United States Army officer) and "(Canadian army officer)" seems to be in widespread use to disambiguate Canadian Army officers as well. Also, if you are moving articles, please remember to observe WP:MV#POST. I am minded to move them back to maintain consistency but would like to hear your thoughts first. Thanks, Dormskirk (talk) 23:57, 7 February 2023 (UTC)
The disambiguator is usually a noun indicating what the person is noted for being in their own right. In most cases, these nouns are standard, commonly used tags such as "(musician)" and "(politician)". Avoid using abbreviations or anything capitalized ..., that is apart from instances where more specific guidelines specify particular exceptions. If possible, limit the tag to a single, recognizable and highly applicable term.
Sometimes disambiguators need to be more specific. For example, "Engelbert Humperdinck (musician)" could still refer to two different people, so Engelbert Humperdinck (composer) and Engelbert Humperdinck (singer) are used. Or, failing a practical single qualifier, the disambiguator can be expanded with a second qualifier: e.g. Roger Taylor (Queen drummer) and Roger Taylor (Duran Duran drummer).
Can I interest you in becoming a Template editor? — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 10:03, 10 February 2023 (UTC)
On 21 February 2023, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Jane Dempsey Douglass, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that Jane Dempsey Douglass became the first woman to head a worldwide communion of churches in 1990? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Jane Dempsey Douglass. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Jane Dempsey Douglass), and the hook may be added to the statistics page after its run on the Main Page has completed. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

Hi! A few months ago, you tagged International Religious Freedom Act of 1998 with a suggestion that Protect Cemeteries Act should be merged into it. Usually, after an article is merge-tagged, the editor starts a discussion at the talk page of the target article, in this case Talk:International Religious Freedom Act of 1998, briefly explaining the rationale for the merge. it gives interested editors a chance to chime in. Joyous! | Talk 03:11, 3 March 2023 (UTC)
Thanks for uploading File:Douglas John Hall.jpeg. I noticed that this file is being used under a claim of non-free use. However, I think that the way it is being used fails the first non-free content criterion. This criterion states that files used under claims of non-free use may have no free equivalent; in other words, if the file could be adequately covered by a freely-licensed file or by text alone, then it may not be used on Wikipedia. If you believe this file is not replaceable, please:
((Di-replaceable non-free use disputed|<your reason>))
below the original replaceable non-free use template, replacing <your reason>
with a short explanation of why the file is not replaceable.Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media item by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by creating new media yourself (for example, by taking your own photograph of the subject).
If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these media fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification, per the non-free content policy. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. -- Marchjuly (talk) 07:41, 7 April 2023 (UTC)

RE: the place names/links you changed here at Gerald M. Morin, is there a specific place in the MOS (or any other guideline, etc.) that indicates it should be done like that? I ask because I've seen numerous other articles that purposely omit "Canada" from the infobox (I think I saw someone remove it once and point to a MOS link... can't seem to recall where to look for that though), and that link the place name by including the province (e.g., Cumberland House, Saskatchewan), instead of separating the two (e.g. Cumberland House, Saskatchewan).

Hi Graham11, I've undone your edit to United States, as it does not follow consensus or the MOS. The MOS is clear: "retain U.S. in American or Canadian English articles in which it is already established, unless there is a good reason to change it". There was no good reason to change it here. There was only a single instance of "UK" being used; I've fixed that by changing it to "United Kingdom". Please don't make changes like that again without getting consensus. Thank you! -- RockstoneSend me a message! 22:34, 7 November 2023 (UTC)
