List of current Canadian senators edit

The 18 new Senators are in the "2008 appointees" section. As far as I can tell, they haven't yet been appointed by the GG yet, which is why they aren't in the normal section. -- Scorpion0422 18:52, 22 December 2008 (UTC)Reply

License tagging for File:Grand Central Hotel.jpg edit

Thanks for uploading File:Grand Central Hotel.jpg. You don't seem to have indicated the license status of the image. Wikipedia uses a set of image copyright tags to indicate this information; to add a tag to the image, select the appropriate tag from this list, click on this link, then click "Edit this page" and add the tag to the image's description. If there doesn't seem to be a suitable tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Wikipedia.

For help in choosing the correct tag, or for any other questions, leave a message on Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. Thank you for your cooperation. --ImageTaggingBot (talk) 06:06, 21 May 2009 (UTC)Reply

Invitation to join Wikiproject Ontario Roads edit

So I noticed that you've created an essentially flawless county road table for Renfrew County, and so I thought I would shoot you an invite to join the Ontario Roads WikiProject. Its a good tool for sharing resources, maps and other information, and we could really do well with new interest and talent. Cheers - ʄɭoʏɗiaɲ τ ¢ 12:55, 3 September 2011 (UTC)Reply


Also, a few tips on the articles you are making:
  1. About a year ago all the highway articles were moved from Highway X (Ontario) to Ontario Highway X. Some pages still have the old links but I'm updating them as I go. Generally I make my links like so: [[Ontario Highway X|Highway X]], which will just help alleviate the link issue.
  2. Because Ontario has so many different names for its divisions (municipality, city, district, county), the format for the title of the list articles is List of numbered roads in FOO. There's a list of what lists need to be done on this page.
Otherwise, as I said, they're looking good. You may wish to look at List of numbered roads in Durham Region and List of numbered roads in Kawartha Lakes for examples of what you can do beyond the table itself. Cheers - ʄɭoʏɗiaɲ τ ¢ 14:25, 8 September 2011 (UTC)Reply

This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot.

Committee articles edit

Glad to see someone creating the committee articles. These committees are significant players in Canadian government. Those like me who are CPAC fans will find these useful. I have added some that have been started recently to Category:Canadian Parliamentary committees although I have wondered whether there should be a sub cat there for the HofC committees as parliament includes those and the Senate for which there is a sub cat. I had not come across Category:Standing_committees until I notice you using it for some as well. Has me wondering whether what I jumped in and did might have got things on the wrong cat. Not sure which is the best way to go here. Your thoughts? I have also asked Bearcat who does a lot of category work for his advice. See User_talk:Bearcat#Cats_for_parliamentary_articles. --KenWalker | Talk 18:23, 21 January 2012 (UTC)Reply
