Jody Thomas became the first female Commissioner of the CCG on January 2015. How do you edit the details in the overview box?   — Preceding unsigned comment added by Wjserson (talk • contribs) 16:23, 9 March 2015 (UTC)
thread_title: New Commissioner

message: I noticed this is tagged as too long, and frankly I agree, but there's nothing in here justifying it or offering solutions.
I think personally that the seemingly endless lists make the page much too long and daunting, and could probably be split into separate articles ("Bases of the Canadian Coast Guard", "Ships of the Canadian Coast Guard", etc.). Other than that, the article doesn't seem too bad length-wise. --djbon2112 69.157.33.153 (talk) 22:51, 5 October 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Too long

message: Most of the images on this article are from the DFO's Canadian Coast Guard web-site.
The DFO allows their images to be re-used conditionally.  The two conditions are:
#Non-commercial
#Credit given
#No misrepresentation
Apparently, after internal discussion, it has been decided that the tags applied to these DFO images are no longer valid.  Thos images may be deleted any time now.
Some other images were tagged as {PD-Self}.  And another skeptical wikipedian accused the uploader of {copyvio}.  Personally, I think the accuser went too far -- they accused the uploader without providing any substantiation.
So, is there another, newer tag, that would allow these images to be retained?
I used google to look for some images of CCG vessels and aircraft that would be tagged with {PD-USGov}.  I found some, from joint operations.  So, if those that we have been warned will be deleted are deleted, we won't be left without any images whatsoever.  They aren't as good as the earlier images.
We should keep planning ahead, and looking for new images.  --  Geo Swan 15:34, 6 February 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Images -- most of these images have tags that are no longer valid 

message: I've exchanged some comments with a wikipedian who tagged most of the DFO images the CCG article were using with a tag that suggested they would soon be removed.  I will regret the disappearance of those images.  But I think the wikipedian who tagged them was correct,
Someone asked me if I thought we could find another liscence that those images could be classified, that would allow us to keep them.
Rather than putting my response on their talk page I thought I would respond here...
:I am not really an expert on liscenses, I am just an amateur.  In my amateur understanding he is correct -- the DFO and the DND liscenses impose restrictions on those who re-use the images,  The wikipedia's use of the images is not commercial.  But we can't police those who download and re-use images they found on our site.  I regret the loss of those images as much as you do.  But I think we have to grit our teeth, and look for alternate images.  Did you see I found a bunch of PD images of CCG vessels by restricting my google searches to the ".mil" and ".gov" domains?  Pictures taken by US federal employees, as part of their duties, are generally in the public domain.  Unfortunately most of those US images are inferior to the DFO images.
:Our only hope of using the DFO and DND images Denniss flagged would be to convince the ministries to alter the permissions they offered on their web-site, to remove the unrealistic restriction that we try to control how our end-users use the image.  Realistically they can't control how their end-users use their images.  I recognized several images of CCG vessels, used, without credit or attribution, on the US sites where end-users could reasonably assume all uncredited images were PD, were duplicates of pictures on the DFO site.  --  Geo Swan 06:23, 25 February 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Finding new images

message: I have updated the Procurement section. I have inserted references that direct to the Canadian Public Works and Government Services page of the Canadian Government.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.12.69.183 (talk) 13:50, 25 May 2009 (UTC)

message: G'day, I do a bit of work looking at articles with MILHIST banners, and am wondering on what basis this article is considered part of the wikiproject? The CCG appears to be a completely unarmed and civilian organisation. Could someone shed some light? Cheers, Peacemaker67  (send... over) 09:08, 1 January 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: You're right, the CCG is not a military force, it doesn't belong to the Canadian Forces and really it doesn't belong to the MILHIST wikiproject. It's closer in role to HM Coastguard than the USCG. McMuff (talk) 23:44, 3 January 2013 (UTC)
