[edit]

I wish you'd weighed in on the primarytopic RMs on Squamish (disambiguation) and Squamish, British Columbia; too late now for the 8-day close on the 2nd RM for Squamish people->Skwxwu7mesh which I may take to Move Review yet, but looking at the way that place works it focusses more on wikiquette than on rationale and given the usual attitude towards me I'd say it's pointless; getting it relisted would give more time for comment from other Canadians/BCers, but as with the RM of last year (closed in 7 days), that seems to be a done deal. The recognition of Squamish/town as a primarytopic, as has been going down with other BC towns since I RM'd them this week, would be the fly in the ointment at the CfD. Whatever, thanks for your understanding words; please see my usercontributions for other RMs underway, not just of this kind but also re the towns, and I'm about to launch one to make First Nations government into band government where it should be, and traditional and tribal council and other paragovernmental systems might be at First Nations governance or Aboriginal governance in Canada. Kwami told me today, ironically on Talk:Tlingit people#Requested move, that I can't build a "walled garden around BC" and dispenses as usual with the local variety and lexicon of Canadian English as being irrelevant against his mass of linguistic/ethnographic sources....apparently he doesn't know the Tlingit aren't really in BC, other than one kwaan of them.Skookum1 (talk) 11:21, 22 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

File:Tessek valasztani.jpg listed for deletion

[edit]

A file that you uploaded or altered, File:Tessek valasztani.jpg, has been listed at Wikipedia:Files for deletion. Please see the discussion to see why it has been listed (you may have to search for the title of the image to find its entry). Feel free to add your opinion on the matter below the nomination. Thank you. Armbrust The Homunculus 23:15, 9 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The image may have deserved deletion, but it seems to me it would make sense to make sure my legitimate question was answered before doing so. - TheMightyQuill (talk) 16:37, 19 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The issue is that there was no sourced commentary that required the image for significant reader understanding of the topic. In the Fidesz article the only text referring to the image on the poster was the image description. Though this had a reference, that reference in a circular fashion just referred back to the same text here on Wikipedia(see here). In the History of Hungary article none of the article's text referred to the image either. Sourced commentary is a large indicator of the significance of images; if independent writers see it as important enough to write about it is often correspondingly important enough here. Some images fail to be kept even if there is commentary as the text is sufficient without the image. - Peripitus (Talk) 21:20, 19 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

I tried using "ping" and it comes up as redlinks; per here and this, which I finally put up as a sandbox last night. The ongoing war at WP:NCL is related....I may catch heat for voicing so loudly (again) against that closer (Chipewyan and certain others) but the consequences of the "irrationalizations" of the closing arguments, which are verbose while complaining of my verbosity, remain with us and ultimately need resolution by informed discussion and proper readings of the full texts of guidelines, not one-liner suppositions of what's needed; As you know I work with the titles and topics of this kind in BC all the time; having to pipe wrong or unnecessarily disambiguated terms all the time, whther endonyms or town-names, because someone can't even read the whole of a guideline they cite (and so cite wrongly) is beyond irritating; Kayoty re-started that discussion, which Flyodian had started; and F got the same high handed disregard for disputes of a bad, uninformed and, to me, obviously biaed/POV, closing call with "consult a dictionary" is quite the thing to hear from someone who apparently can't (or didn't, at least) even read the whole of the guideline she used to justify her bad close....anyways, I've been mostly busy doing geographic/historical articles..... the same editor who buggered up the Denesuline title by moving it to Chipewyan, and who moved Nlaka'pamux to Thompson, and Tsuu Tina to Sarcee and so on..... is who is blocking consensus at NCL; I'm not POLLing of CANVASSing; it doesn't matter who says what there, anything they say is turned on its head and claimed to say the opposite of what it actually says; that guideline is blocked for edit-warring right now..adn guess who was doing the warring....Skookum1 (talk) 08:42, 13 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Derby

[edit]

Why did you remove the neighbourhoods cat from Derby, British Columbia? Because it's not an "official" neighbourhood according to the ToL's planning department, maybe? Many of the official neighbourhoods have no historical context, e.g. Walnut Grove and Willowbrook, vs long-standing historical localities such as Derby and Glen Valley.Skookum1 (talk) 01:48, 5 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I understand your concern, Skookum. It's a great article and an important contribution to wikipedia, but I just don't think "neighbourhood" is accurate. It isn't currently a neighbourhood because really, no one lives there (the article itself says its now just a farm field) and to my knowledge, no one describes the surrounding area as Derby. The article itself doesn't describe Derby as a neighbourhood, but a "locality." You'll note, as well, that real estate agents (who love neighbourhood names more than anyone, consider Glen Valley a neighbhourhood, but not Derby.[1] When Derby was a community of sorts, "Langley" didn't exist, so it never was a neighbourhood of Langley, really. It's categorized as "ghost town" which is at least somewhat accurate (in my mind, ghost towns are existing but empty/abandoned towns, but I know the term is used beyond that) but I'm not sure if we have a term for this kind of place except "former community." - TheMightyQuill (talk) 16:38, 5 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
There's lots of localities in BC with zero population, or zero sign of any (in some cases there's heaps of people around, but nothing to say what the place is, and no store etc e.g. Moha, British Columbia. Official and real estate community designations aren't the only placenames within a district/muni; in some cases they're notably absent from planning schemes; such as Ferndale in Mission, although that name is used in real estate, and of course by the prison there; some neighbourhoods in Mission are known just by their road names e.g. Clay Road, Keystone Road, Richards Road; in one case Genstar tried to publish plans that would have wiped the name Silverhill off the map, even Silverhill Road wasn't on their plans for redeveloping the area (the community stood up and kiboshed that b.s.), even though it's one of the oldest communities in the district. So if it's a question of nomenclature; what is a neighbourhood and what is not a neighbourhood, that's a very wide net in need of a few more knots either tied or untied; the Whonnock Indian Reserve is now no longer populated, and it's in Maple Ridge, but it's not a neighbourhood of Maple Ridge, though Whonnock is. Yes, Derby's a "ghost locality" (and is covered, I think, by Old Fort Langley, which it sprang up around; that may be a redirect to a section on Fort Langley, I'm not sure lately. I'm not sure what someone who lives on one of the farms at that location calls that area; I know they don't call it Walnut Grove, which though that's the name that it's ascribed to by the ToL's planning department, effectively means only all the new condos and mini-malls just off the 401 to its west/southwest.Skookum1 (talk) 16:55, 5 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Part of the problem with places like Moha, just to note about that, is that the people who live in such places "have no traffic with revenooers" and aren't counted in census, and because many don't own property, don't vote in RDEA elections; are they residents? Some have lived there for thirty years. I can't cite the c.300 people who live in that environs because there's no official count of them to cite; similar situations abound in rural BC, around the Coast and throughout the Interior, and just like bands that don't allow census-takers on IRs, they don't officially exist; but do in real terms. There's also some places with "community" listings that aren't communities, and some places that are "former Indian Villages" that are still very much real, living villages.....Skookum1 (talk) 16:59, 5 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Internment

[edit]

I note what you say but we can't have a section with no content other than saying the main content is elsewhere. I think there needs to be content of some sort in the section or it should go back in See Also. Philafrenzy (talk) 14:01, 25 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I understand your concern, but what can we say that it's self-referential to wikipedia (ie. wikipedia maintains a list according to these characteristics) ? I could insert something banal like "Many countries have introduced internment in many forms" if you think it would be better. - TheMightyQuill (talk) 14:53, 25 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
If there is no valid content for the section then we simply don't have the section. There's no point filling it with padding. That's why the "main" tag is not relevant here. I don't think the list is any more special than the other topics that are in See Also but don't have an empty section. Philafrenzy (talk) 15:06, 25 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Well, it's more relevant than the other topics because it was split off from the article as a compromise, and it keeps people from turning the Internment article into yet another list itself. We've recently been having a discussion on the internment talk page about how to reorganize/improve the article. Would you like to contribute there? - TheMightyQuill (talk) 09:57, 26 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
