Proposed deletion of 2022 in Canada

edit
 

The article 2022 in Canada has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

We don't normally have articles more than 1 year in advance for "[YEAR] in [country]" articles. See Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/2023_in_the_Philippines and Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/2022_in_the_Philippines.

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}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. — Insertcleverphrasehere (or here)(click me!) 23:59, 28 January 2020 (UTC)Reply

This appears to be the only '2022 in [country' article on the wiki (except the likely-to-be-deleted 2022 in the Philippines). The cutoff appears to have naturally developed as one year in advance; even then, those articles are usually only created towards the end of the preceding calendar year. 2021 in Canada is also an anomaly. I wonder if moving to draft or user space to await a more appropriate time for creation would be an acceptable compromise? — Insertcleverphrasehere (or here)(click me!) 22:31, 29 January 2020 (UTC)Reply

Maria Sole Agnelli

edit

Hey Mindmatrix, thank you so much for adding information to the Maria Sole Agnelli page! I just wanted to warn you that you said that she was the niece of Giovanni Agnelli when, in fact, she was the grand daughter. No hate at all, I’m just warning you I’m going to change it and wanted to avoid any confusion. Again, thank you very much for your help, Kind Regards RCdS Ranieri001 (talk) 09:32, 1 March 2020 (UTC)Reply

@Ranieri001: I only corrected your original writing: "...as she was the nephew of the deceased founder of FIAT, Giovanni Agnelli...", changing 'nephew' to 'niece', as the former is for males. I didn't change the context or meaning in any way. Mindmatrix 13:44, 1 March 2020 (UTC)Reply

Also, while scrolling through the page I noticed you made another error but I can understand I might have been unclear. This is because when I said her dead’s husband son, I didn’t mean Bernardino but rather Rovero, since Maria Sole’s husband had another son before marrying her, Rovero. Rovero is not her son but he did become mayor after her. I hope I cleared any misunderstanding before I do the edits. Sincerely RCdS - Ranieri001 (talk) 09:38, 1 March 2020 (UTC)Reply

OK, that wasn't clear in the original phrasing. The word you should probably use is 'stepson'. Mindmatrix 13:44, 1 March 2020 (UTC)Reply

Hi, maybe my attempt to create a new section in the page was not perfect, so tanks to point it. But now do you have a to fix the issue on the article ? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ros975 (talkcontribs) 21:25, 5 March 2020 (UTC)Reply

Suggested Changes From E Ink

edit

I proposed some changes to the Electronic Paper page per WP:COI but didn’t get a response. I saw that you have edited the page previously and was wondering if you would be willing to take a look. The suggested changes are shown here. They primarily have to do with mis-use of our trademark and some criticisms cited to a vendor blog. CDaignault1 (talk) 19:36, 28 May 2020 (UTC)Reply
