Canada Line Table

While I do appreciate your time and effort in creating this very useful table, I can't help but point out a things I'm concerned about. "False Creek" is not a name of a station, I believe using "Olympic Village" would easier for readers to understand. Adding 41 or 49 to Oakridge or Langara would also help many readers who may be unfamiliar with either of these places. Thanks.  єmarsee  • Speak up! 04:48, 17 June 2009 (UTC)

Hi Emersee,

Yes the table needs some more work. However, I thought it was a useful addition for the time being, until I can update it. I don't know if the name Olympic Village has been approved yet. However, I realize the names should be consistent with the article. Some minor errors make people think, but overall the table provides information that was previously not available. The numbers should also not have a decimal place since they are rounded to the nearest minute. Instead of using a single letter it is better to user the full name of the station on the columns. I had some lack of space so I just put City Center instead of Vancouver City Center; for the same reason I did not add Brighouse. For now, I hope it won't throw people off too much.

Whatever2009 (talk) 05:16, 17 June 2009 (UTC)

I believe the name of Olympic Village Station has already been finalized per the Canada Line website. I do think that using the full name of the station would decrease confusion, especially to those who are coming to Vancouver to the Olympics.  єmarsee  • Speak up! 05:28, 17 June 2009 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for August 26

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Haplogroup I2 (Y-DNA), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Haplogroup G (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Proposed deletion of List of Flirtatious Songs

Hello, Whatever2009. I wanted to let you know that I’m proposing an article that you started, List of Flirtatious Songs, for deletion because I don't think it meets our criteria for inclusion. If you don't want the article deleted:

1. edit the page
2. remove the text that looks like this: {{proposed deletion/dated...}}
3. save the page

Also, be sure to explain why you think the article should be kept in your edit summary or on the article's talk page. If you don't do so, it may be deleted later anyway.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. JamKaftan (talk) 17:32, 9 March 2014 (UTC)

Nomination of List of Flirtatious Songs for deletion

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article List of Flirtatious Songs is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of Flirtatious Songs until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article. IagoQnsi 20:14, 9 March 2014 (UTC)

Veal calves

I have deleted your new article since its content was copied from Veal without giving proper attribution. See Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia--as such it is a copyright violation. (Also, but that's beside the point, I doubt there is a need for this particular new article.) Drmies (talk) 01:22, 3 November 2014 (UTC)

Hi Drmies, as I have not split articles before I was not aware of the way to split an article by giving credit to the article from which it was split in the edit summary. Thank you for pointing this out. However, the need for this article splitting is real. In general smaller articles are preferred where possible. The issue of veal calves is a unique aspect of our society and deserves a page separate from meat or calves in general. In addition a technical issue arose in that the dutch wikipedia has a separate entry for veal and veal calves (Vleeskalf and Kalfsvlees). In order to ensure full international linkage between articles there was the option of merging the Dutch article or splitting the English article. The English article linked to the very short Kalfsvlees article rather than the longer Vleeskalf article. While at first proposing a merger of the articles I saw that after some thought the Dutch approach was the right one. By separating the articles Wikipedia gives again more room to add further details to either article without becoming too broad. Much more can be added to the veal calves article. I simply established a new focus or base for that to happen. I will thus recreate the page while giving due credit to the page veal. I have not deleted or changed anything from that page as yet to avoid issues such as you had with my entry. Het is in Nederland nu 4 uur in de morgen. Hoe kunt U zo snel reageren. Ik neem aan dat U niet in Nederland woont.Whatever2009 (talk) 02:10, 3 November 2014 (UTC)
