Bridges

[edit]

I see you've been working on several articles about bridges in Saskatoon and elsewhere in Canada. If you're interested, you might want to check out Wikipedia:WikiProject Bridges, which is a project to standardize articles about bridges and improve the quality of those articles. I've been working on Minnesota bridges as part of the project (although I should probably take a break; I've probably edited about 40 bridge articles today.) Check it out! --Elkman - (talk) 03:40, 30 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I fixed up the Victoria bridge article and will do the other in the next day or two. Thanks for the tip. --M@sk 00:14, 1 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Saskatoon bridges

[edit]

Good work so far on the bridges articles. Please take a moment to make note of changes I and others have made regarding grammar and spelling in the articles. Assuming that you will be creating articles on each bridge, please note that I have added one bridge to the list at the main Saskatoon article -- the Grand Trunk rail bridge -- plus the Idylwyld Bridge was renamed the Sidney L. Buckwold Bridge about 6 years ago so I have changed this accordingly in the article. Cheers. 23skidoo 06:05, 30 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the additions and edits. It will probably be a few days before they all apear but that was my plan. --M@sk 00:15, 1 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Categories

[edit]

Please don't apply Category:Saskatchewan to articles that are already in subcategories such as Category:Universities and colleges in Saskatchewan — the whole idea behind subcategories is to keep them as uncluttered as possible by only applying the narrowest appropriate categories, rather than some recursive stack of duplicated categories.

Speedy deletion of Saskatoon Club

[edit]

Please refrain from introducing inappropriate pages such as Saskatoon Club, to Wikipedia. Doing so is not in accordance with our policies. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that a copy be emailed to you. - Jameson L. Tai talk ♦ contribs 17:27, 15 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I've restored the article for the time being. It will, however, require more proof of its notability than its age and mere existence. I work with the US National Register of Historic Places - what is the Canadian equivalent? Right now, it seems unremarkable, and others agree. There needs to be some historic event, historic register, or a similar distinction.
You've done a great deal of good work, but keep in mind that Wikipedia can be a tough environment - the editors who tagged and deleted the article were correct to do so, but I believe the article can be improved and saved if there are appropriate sources. Please do not allow your frustration to lead you to placing inappropriate messages in article space. Acroterion (talk) 17:37, 15 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

AfD nomination of Saskatoon Club

[edit]

I have nominated Saskatoon Club, an article you created, for deletion. I do not feel that this article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Saskatoon Club. Your opinions on the matter are welcome at that same discussion page; also, you are welcome to edit the article to address these concerns. Thank you for your time. Do you want to opt out of receiving this notice? SchuminWeb (Talk) 17:32, 15 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Contributions

[edit]

I do hope you will consider continuing on Wikipedia. Saskatoon Club comment. You have contributed valuable insight, and articles to wikipedia as a whole, and the silly AfD's are part of the growing pains of Wikipedia establishing credibility in general on the internet. As was noted by several folks who are more familiar with Saskatoon and Saskatchewan, the discussion showed support of your work. I am sorry, I was sick and with mom at hospital during this time, or I would also have added my two cent worth as well. Kind Regards SriMesh | talk 00:59, 21 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion of Enerjet

[edit]

A tag has been placed on Enerjet requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a company or corporation, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for companies and corporations.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that a copy be emailed to you. —Largo Plazo (talk) 12:50, 26 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Another nomination for deletion. I do question why I should contribute to this community when attempts to do so discouraged in this way. Have a look at the talk page for this article. What criteria do we have on Wikipedia for adding pages about airlines .... --M@sk (talk) 13:23, 26 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

See WP:Notability, WP:Notability (companies). In the case of companies, as in the case of several other classes of topic, the article needs to *indicate* that the topic is notable. This article doesn't, and the likelihood that an airline with a single plane is notable seems small. Regarding the value of contributing to this community: I think it's good that the community is concerned with working toward a quality encyclopedia. Guidelines have been established by consensus to help with this by preventing it from becoming a repository for advertising, advocacy, personal reflection, and so forth, and by preventing large amounts of space by being taken up by topics of relatively little value. —Largo Plazo (talk) 13:46, 26 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

What criteria do you propose? Two aircraft? 10? 100? Do you want to weight average a a Boeing 737 is equivalent to 4-5 props or 1/2 a wide-body? --M@sk (talk) 13:53, 26 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

There is no official threshold based on number of planes or weight. I cited the possession by the company of a single aircraft as an indication that notability is unlikely. For the most part, someone's purchase of some property (a plane, a taxi, a restaurant, an apartment building) for use in earning a living isn't a topic suitable for inclusion in an encyclopedia.
I answered your previous question about the applicable criteria by providing you with links to two relevant articles. The answers are there. Please read them instead of trying to turn this into a confrontation between you and me. You might also look at WP:Welcome and WP:First article.—Largo Plazo (talk) 14:02, 26 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

When deleting the article you also missed the reference on the Edmonton Airport page. I was going to add a reference on the Fort McMurray airport page however there is little point in doing that at this point since the airline clearly does not warrant mention on Wikipedia.

I hope you don't take this as an attack on you. It is not. In the past few months I have had three articles including this one nominated for speedy deletion. In each case we have people waist their time debating the merits of deleting the article and then the article is reinstated. At this point I give up. Clearly the Wikipedia community does not appreciate the effort some of us have put in to making this encyclopedia more complete. You should note, I waited until they received Transport Canada approval before adding them, since once they are licensed there is some substance behind them. Perhaps I should have waited until they announced taking delivery of their second aircraft or third aircraft.... In any case at this point I will leave it to someone else to add it the article once it meets the high standard for notability that appears to be required. I would have assumed including them on the list of Canadian Airlines is something that Wikipedia would defer to Transport Canada, but it is probably best to be notable in these cases instead of complete. --M@sk (talk) 00:32, 27 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
