Canada Hi there Id like to invite you to explore Wikimedia Canada and create a list of people interested in forming a local chapter for our nation A local chapter will help promote and improve the organization within our great nation Wed also like to encourage everyone to suggest projects for our national chapter to participate in Hope to see you there   Strelchick   I got your message about Strelchick  When I made an article about him it was about  weeks before the election  It was only  sentences long  Then some NDPer added like  paragraphs too it  Dont worry Im a staunch liberal  I think it should be shortnened and then if nothing at all happens for about six months deleted  But not yet  Thanks  Strelchick   I got a reply from someone about you and the Strelchick article  I didnt really understand it but this guy hates you  Take a look at it and tell me what you want to do about the article  Thanks    PS  You went to TSS  cool   Help with Vandalism   Hey you seem like a fairly experienced user so I thought Id ask you for help  keeps blanking TalkSimon Strelchick Ive reverted it like three times already and he keeps blanking it  what should I do Thanks     Ive left him a warning message on his talk page You could list the incident on WPANI or if he reverts more than three times in  hours on WPAN    Strelchick redux  While its clear that the new editors behaviour is inappropriate Id be remiss if I didnt also suggest to you that you might want to be a bit more careful in the future not to get involved in discussions where you might be perceived as having a personal bias Whether you do or dont isnt even really the point  sometimes all thats necessary to spark this kind of ruckus is the perception that you have a vested interest They obviously believe that your nomination was politically motivated rather than based on a neutral assessment of Wikipedia policy  In future it might be best to just avoid putting yourself in a situation where your motivations might be questioned in this way You can always ask other editors or the Canadian notice board to review a situation if you think your motivations for proposing a course of action might be questioned     WikipediaCanadian wikipedians notice board     WikiProject Vancouver   Hello I am Arnold aka BuchananHermit and I am writing to invite you to join the newlyformed WikiProject Vancouver It was created really recently and its in need of new members and those who are willing to spread the word  Id love to see you there  Thanks for your time     test page   Please do not use the main article namespace for testing There is the WikipediaSandbox for doing that or  Just edit the page at the red link  EMAIL   Ive speedily Userfied your test page it can now be found here UserPm shefPm Shefs Test Center feel free to test away in your own userspace  CVU   Test pages are not approriate for the main Article space however you can have all the test pages you want that start with UseryournamePageName  I moved the test page Pm Shefs Test Center out of main article space to a subpage of your userpage UserPm shefPm Shefs Test Center  You can testeditdevelop it all you want there  If you intend to make it in to an article you can either MOVE it to the article name or just copyapste the contents if you are the only contributor  Hope this answeres your question  CVU    Shefman AfD   No I wasnt aware of it but heres a counterexample if you look at Boston MA there are perhaps two people on the entire City Council that have articles here on WP theyre all listed but only one or two have blue links  Boston is about  times the population of Vaughan and I would also point out that its politicians get in the papers very often as well for voting if nothing else  Its certainly much more historically notable as a city than Vaughan is as I see it and yet there is clearly no consensus on who deserves an article and who doesnt  I would also note that if there is a group that concerns itself with Vaughan on WP theyve got kind of a vested interest in claiming that everyone in their city deserves an article and thus youve got a slanted vote  I see very little in the way of content that makes Shefman any more notable than the average town selectman and if you would like I would support an RFC on notability for all of the Council as long as there wasnt a skewed vote as occurred on the first or second Shefman AfD  From that vote it seems that a lot of the Vaughan people are politically active which also makes motive regarding political notability questionable  The reasoning you have wrt Vaughan would also have it stand to reason that every SGA president of a sizable college campus would be deserving of an article and that certainly is not the case by any stretch of the imagination  Also if newspaper appearance was notable every weekly columnist for every paper in any municipality would also be notable  Thats not the case  Every athlete would be notable from high school on up and thats not the case To take it a little further I would bet that every single UN delegate does not have an article on WP and theyre much more notable than a councilman in my view  I see a rigged consensus and some selfpromotion involved  What would in fact best serve this whole process would be a WP policy on political notability because it gets it out of a single issue which this is while achieving the same result as well as solving the problem in future for everybody   WPRFC I believe is the policy page but I think we would need to do something bigger than that for purposes of reaching the whole community  An RFC is a Request for Comment so you basically ask for other peoples opinions on something but invariably unless someone is interested in the topic they dont comment  If you are interested in trying to do something communitybased rather than on one article Ill have to look in to how to do that   If there were to be a City Council level page you would probably get into a WPBIO problem if you dealt with each individual separately on that page and I still dont think it addresses the NonNotability issue in your favor  the Hamilton Council page has  names only two of which have articles one being the mayor who would be notable and the other being Ward  Councilor Tom Jackson whose article was up for a deletion vote in the past  So theres clearly still a notability issue  I could see a council page with the mayor as notable and no one else without remarkable proof and if that was acceptable to everybody I would agree to that kind of page but I dont think others will precisely because they feel that there is notability for everyone involved and I dont think there is  Other people have apparently thought so too Even if the council page is a list there can still be articles linked and I or anybody else could still AfD the articles inidividually which doesnt solve the issue NEW
