The Toronto Sun website shows "missing link" instead of the intended page.

message: This article refers to 'Catholic Sinn Fein'.  While historically I understand that Sinn Fein has Catholic roots, I don't think that this is currently an official affiliation (correct me if I'm wrong) and I'm not sure that it adds to this article.  Thoughts? Ellensn (talk) 20:05, 14 January 2009 (UTC)

message: Hello...I wonder if somebody can take a look at this site with particular interest to the section on Israel. The site is being used as a propoganda tool to discredit the name of Sid Ryan. Clearly the comments of one individual columnist(with an axe to grind) or one individual's opinion should not be allowed to tilt the nature of issue being reported ie: boycott of Israel. 
It seems to me we could fill up several pages on this subject by carrying individual opinions both pro and con but im not sure how that fits in with the policies of Wikipedia. 
Some of the material posted is just quite silly for example, the reference to CUPE removing the original press release from their website. How does this qualify as being worthy of reporting when CUPE says it was removed to reflect CUPE's position of boycotting institutions rather than individual academics. 
I would therefore ask you to consider all the posts both pro and con and decide on how best to proceed in order to be fair to both sides.
Thanking you in advance

message: I made some additions to this profile and they have been removed? Could I  have an explanation as to why? I added in 3 organizations that supported CUPE's resolution 50 to provide balance to the 3 sources that disagreed with resolution 50. All 3 refercenes were removed?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Porterxx (talk • contribs) 21:49, 15 February 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Hi Porterxxx, a couple things. First, you should post at the bottom of the talk page, not the top. Second, when you see a big yellow bar at the top of the page, that means you have new messages. You should check them -- that's your own personal talk page, and could be a useful thing for you to know about. Third, what you added was just unsourced, confusing, and unexplained. Can you say more about these organizations, what they said, how they're notable, and say where you got the information? Also, you should sign all your talk posts with four of these:  ~~~~ . That automatically puts your user name and the time you made the post at the end of that post. IronDuke 22:00, 15 February 2009 (UTC)

text: Okay... I was just worried Porter wouldn't see it down here, as he is a newbie. IronDuke 22:46, 15 February 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I think he'll notice this change (I kept his name in the section title for this reason). You've also provided a detailed explanation of how to post on wikipedia talk pages so that this can be avoided in the future. On the off-chance he doesn't notice, we can notify him on his talk page if any problems arise.(Hyperionsteel (talk) 23:01, 15 February 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Yeah... I have posted on his talk page, and sometimes people don't notice the yellow bar at first. Thanks.... IronDuke 23:10, 15 February 2009 (UTC)

message: The section on free trade and TILMA has a total of one source and is almost entirely composed of opinion statements. If I felt I had even a smidgen more Wikipedia authority, I'd delete the whole section.AntidoteWasHad (talk) 19:58, 5 February 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Looked again and realized that the one source cited appears to be legal advocacy. Great.AntidoteWasHad (talk) 20:00, 5 February 2011 (UTC)

text: Done. I'm not an expert on Wikipedia policy but that section seemed pretty much indefensible. If some editor can point me to a policy indicating differently, I invite them to do so. AntidoteWasHad (talk) 05:39, 22 March 2012 (UTC)

Wondering, whether or not his behaviour should be recorded on the page.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 121.222.55.231 (talk) 07:30, 28 November 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: If there are reliable sources (not an opinion piece) stating that Sid Ryan assaulted a reporter then yes.  If "assault" is your intrepretation of the video then it is Original Research and should not be posted.  If the incident is not significant enough for news coverage then it lacks notability, and should not be posted. Poyani (talk) 23:09, 1 December 2011 (UTC)
