message: Some anon user recently wrote up almost every TV series linked from the MuchMusic article, with the following problems:
# The writing is appallingly bad. (From French Kiss: "In addition to Canada's francophone population, MuchMusic of CHUM Limited operates  a francophone music television station, Québécois MusiquePlus." And from The Punk Show, the redundantly redundant "the program exclusively features music videos of indie underground punk bands that are not mainstream." As opposed to what, indie underground punk bands that are mainstream?)
# None of them have either  or :Category:MuchMusic television series applied to them.
# For programs that are a half-hour long, the person consistently just wikified the word half rather than the compound half-hour.
# When links to MusiquePlus are warranted, the person insists on referring to it as "Québécois MusiquePlus"; they even edited MuchMusic itself to call it that.
Could some generous soul kindly help me fix this mess up? Thanks muchly, no pun intended. Bearcat 05:38, 11 January 2006 (UTC)

message: Hello everyone. I'm not a Canadian myself — went there once years ago, though, lovely place — but I have recently been working on this article about a prominent Canadian, who had a huge influence on British television, particularly BBC television drama, which are two of my main Wikipedia interests. I'm trying to drive this article up to featured level — I rebuilt it from the ground-up a couple of months back, and have been making various tweaks to it since then. I'll be placing it on peer review soon — it doesn't have a picture at the moment, but will hopefully do so sometime tomorrow, after which I'll add it. If all goes well there it should be on FAC within the next week or two, but I thought I'd put a note about it here as, being a Canadian-related article, I thought some of you might be interested in taking a look and seeing what improvements might need to be made from your perspectives. Particularly, being a biography of a Canadian, there are some spellings which might need changing from the British English I wrote the piece in to Canadian English, I'm not sure. Anyway, I hope the piece is of interest. Angmering 19:10, 29 January 2006 (UTC)

message: I'm considering finally-- going for the plunge and starting an article on Canada-Caribbean relations.  I just wanted to drop a note here and ask if there's any objections to the naming- etc. or other things I should consider before doing so?
In thinking to myself I would rather find out now, rather then see 1 month from now a 'vote for deletion.' *smirks*
Don't laugh, I've seen it happen to others. ,-)
P.S. on the talk('discussion') page of Canada-Caribbean relations I also have a series of topics which I thought of off the top of my head, ofcourse all are underpinned within the Canada-Caribbean relations.  BTW: I used the wording of 'Caribbean/West Indies' because the Bahamas aren't officially in the "Caribbean" but are in the "West Indies". However the term West Indies is considered somewhat archaic.

The other thing is you can't really escape that whole relationship between the two regions I mean you can take it back to Paul Martin on the Canadian side, he was chided over his business ties in Barbados.  And likewise the Barbados PM 1-2 years ago was chided over quietly appointing someone from Canada to be fully incharge of the Government owned Caribbean Broadcasting Corporation television station.  Appearently someone got word of it and a dispute quickly loomed with one director claiming they had seniority- and should have been appointed as the next in line. etc. The government continued to state the lady from Canada had better credentials. ,  It was a mess.

message: Right now, there are three articles on the city and the surrounding area with incredible overlap - Victoria, British Columbia, Greater Victoria, British Columbia, and Capital Regional District, British Columbia.

message: This is frustrating.  The template includes a box for official languages, leading to fruitless debates over what languages apply.  The Ontario site has "English and French (in some areas)," Manitoba has "English" (its French as well), and provinces like BC and Alberta, which have no language legislation, have "English."  I think the template needs to be changed to remove this box.  Until then, I'm removing the language from the boxes in provs which have no offcial language(s) Fishhead64 16:07, 7 March 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I have difficulties with the whole notion of "official language" being applied to provinces that have no specific legislation denoting an official language.  This in itself is inaccurate and misleading.  Lets look at the fact that French services are mandated in certain provinces:  Does this mean that French is therefore an official language?  A "quasi-official" language?  Or does it simply mean exactly what the legislation says - that certain services shall be provided in French and English under certain circumstances?  I'm for removing it from the template altogether.  Who gets to make the decision? Fishhead64 20:00, 7 March 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: In Alberta, there are more people who speak Ukranian than those who speak French. I wouldn't be surprised if there were more people who spoke Mandarin or Cantonese in BC and a few other provinces than those who speak French.

See the 2001 Census numbers. However, I do agree that official should be removed from the template and dealt with in the text, as it has too many different meanings and interpretations.

text: The language in which the government actually operates is a de facto official language even if none is specifically spelled out in law. (That's all "official language" means anyway: the language in which the government operates.) Thus, it's in no way inaccurate to say that English is the official language of British Columbia, even in the absence of a law mandating this. But it would be entirely inaccurate to say that French is, because the government of BC does not operate in French to any notable degree. Bearcat 21:00, 9 March 2006 (UTC)

* :Category:Members of the Order of Canada <- This is the current category and would stay with just the Members.
