IFC (Canadian TV channel) and Cosmopolitan TV (Canadian TV channel)

Hi Bearcat, User:E789999 has revert my edits and restoring the cable provider and channel positions on IFC (Canadian TV channel) and Cosmopolitan TV (Canadian TV channel). Could you remove all satellite and cable providers after the channel went off the air on any defunct Canadian channels. The following defunct Canadian channels have include Canadian channel providers and channel positions: Action (Canadian TV channel), BBC Kids, Cosmopolitan TV (Canadian TV channel), IFC (Canadian TV channel), Comedy Gold (TV channel), Teletoon Retro (English), Télétoon Rétro (French). M3 (Canadian TV channel), G4 (Canadian TV channel) and Sundance Channel (Canadian TV channel) already cease broadcasting and channel positions and cable and satellite providers are removed after after the channel went off the air. So could you talk to User:E789999 to do not restore and revert the channel positions and cable providers from the availability after the channel cease broadcasting. I will be be happy for you resolution with you reply. Thanks. 2001:569:7C07:2600:1562:6118:8514:72E3 (talk) 23:34, 4 October 2019 (UTC)

List of people from Vlorë

Hi. Re this, I am not its creator. I am probably not fully aware of relevant rules and I am not against waiting for a reviewer, if that is needed. The entries that are unsourced in the list can be easily verified by their own articles. Ktrimi991 (talk) 21:38, 6 October 2019 (UTC)

Southwestern Ontario

Hi there. I know you do a lot of edits to Canadian articles. I've been pulling my hair out with an editor at Southwestern Ontario and other Ontario articles. Their edits seem scattered and I'm not sure how to fix them, as I'm not sure what this editor is trying to do besides add content, but I may be completely wrong. If you are able to have a look at the article I'd appreciate it. Thanks. Magnolia677 (talk) 10:50, 7 October 2019 (UTC)

Aldermen/councillor categories

Hello. I was wondering why you moved articles on local politicians in the Netherlands from "Aldermen of X" categories (such as Category:Aldermen of The Hague) to "Municipal councillors of X" categories (such as Category:Municipal councillors of The Hague). Aldermen (members of municipal executives) are not the same as municipal councillors, nor are aldermen necessarily also municipal councillors. Luxorr (talk) 17:34, 7 October 2019 (UTC)

In response to your response: I appreciate that the translation might've led to confusion. It seems that in articles on Dutch politics, the word "alderman" has been used as a translation of wethouder, which is a member of the municipal executive, and not a municipal councillor (though they could simultaneously be councillors before 2002). To my knowledge, the word "alderman" has never been used on Dutch politics articles to mean municipal councillor, but we could avoid this confusion by simply not translating the term wethouder.

De-full protection Tina Keeper

Can we trial removing the full protection of Tina Keeper? {{ping|waddie96}} {talk} 14:50, 21 September 2019 (UTC)

Can you please provide a valid rationale for WP:ECP of Tina Keeper? Right now, the rationale on WP:AN shows it as blank. If enacted under discretionary sanctions, please make sure such actions are appropriately logged per WP:ARBCOM. Buffs (talk) 18:38, 23 September 2019 (UTC)

Please reply. Buffs (talk) 15:09, 26 September 2019 (UTC)

To what? There's nothing new for me to say, because you haven't raised any new points I didn't already address. Bearcat (talk) 15:12, 26 September 2019 (UTC)

Wasn't pinged, so I missed this. Can you reprotect with an appropriate rationale included? Buffs (talk) 19:58, 2 October 2019 (UTC)

Unfortunately I accidentally hit the enter key in the process of trying to type an edit summary, and if there's a way to go back and alter an edit summary after it's been saved I've never been told how it works. So the only thing I can do is provide an explanation now. No, you can apply ECP again and add an explanation (just like an edit summary). As it stands now, there's no rationale...which is a violation of WP:ECP. Please address this. Buffs (talk) 16:26, 7 October 2019 (UTC)

I already have. Days ago. Bearcat (talk) 17:02, 7 October 2019 (UTC)

My apologies; I didn't see the change. Thank you so much!!! Buffs (talk) 21:57, 7 October 2019 (UTC)

Quick Notice Regarding Speedy Deletion Nomination of Jacksonville Gem and Mineral Society

Hello! Just wanted to notify you that a page that you contributed to on September 26th, 2012 is currently being nominated for CSD via category G11 (Unambiguous advertising or promotion).

(I have no idea whether one needs to notify every contributor to the article about its possible deletion, or only the article's author, but I figured I would notify everyone just in case. Please forgive me if this turns out to be unnecessary.)

Replying to Jytdog via Bearcat re: Bumf

Jytdog, Noticed an old thread I posted on @Bearcat:'s Talk page re: CKOO-FM page move I'd initiated, which has long since been completed, and you asked what "Bumf" was. Did you get your answer? If not, it is British slang, and means the same thing as ephemera. Ephemera, in turn, is any printed matter that is inconsequential or trivial (flyers, brochures, pamphlets, annual reports, etc.). --Doug Mehus (talk) 03:19, 10 October 2019 (UTC)

Draft: Luis Dato

Hello. There has been a confusion about my draft and the article Luis Dato. I am quite new in the wikipedia and i did not know the rules well. i deeply apologize. I intentionally moved the Draft:Luis Dato to the Article section. The article has been revised by other contributors to a point that it was almost perfect. And then it was deleted. The worse thing is that a couple of websites has already reference (or copied) it. Anyway, I revised the Draft: Luis Dato to the wikipedia's standard. Please review it. Thank you so much. And I apologize again for the move. Stephentalla (talk) 05:24, 13 October 2019 (UTC)

Daniel Cockburn and You Are Here (2010 film)

Hi Bearcat

I've filled out Daniel Cockburn to at least Start. I wonder if we might ask someone to see if it's ready for 'C'. Only thing significantly missing is 'early life' and a picture... Second question, I think You Are Here just might be ready to be nominated 'good', what do you think? I've added quite a lot recently.ZarhanFastfire (talk) 02:57, 27 September 2019 (UTC)

Right, okay. Oh one more question, is there a way of seeing how many views a WP page has had? ZarhanFastfire (talk) 01:21, 30 September 2019 (UTC)

Follow up. Daniel Cockburn has been rated B class! Pop open the champagne. Also, I just finished my 4th pre-You Are Here Cockburn short article. ZarhanFastfire (talk) 18:00, 22 October 2019 (UTC)

Karen Levine, author of Hana's Suitcase - Karen's birthplace

Hi Bearcat, Karen Levine is a personal friend. She was pleased and surprised to see someone had created a Wiki page for her; however, she pointed out to me that her birthplace was incorrect. The page says she was born in Ottawa. She was, in fact, born in Toronto. I went into the system and changed it, but was unable to offer a citation to back it up because the same error appears in many other places online. Perhaps that's why you changed it back? In any case, it's wrong. Karen was born in Toronto and raised in Ottawa. (She now lives in Toronto.) I'd rather not get into an editing battle over this and I'm clearly not as experienced on Wiki as you are. Would you mind changing it back? Thanks.Ccapeson (talk) 13:50, 23 October 2019 (UTC)

Nature Strip

S'evening my hairy and heavy bloke from the Great White North,

In case of if you bugger meaning getting in trouble the 47 ending in 238 for mentioning your name in an inappropriate and disrespectful manner again, I will be providing all of my future contributing duties with this one.

Now onto the main barbie story: I have been deceased to do this fair dinkum... however I have a sick chore for you: On the 17 of June MMXI Friday, a gigantic wave of the anonymous had been inserting tons and tons of fake and bogus third season gammon on the nature strip for Cat versus the Ankle Biter. (kid in AmE) This time... I. am. NOT. high. lighting. it.

You realized that holding it captive a synonym for protected was the only way to forbid the aforementioned third volume gammon from existence.

Lastly, I don't care if having it unlock does not seem necessary, but pending changes is after one week. My kindest apologies that I didn't ink a request on the talk for a while.

Lights out mate,

Talk:PostCard News/Mahesh Vikram Hegde

Hello Bearcat. The subject page existed to preserve the attribution for PostCard News, which was originally a fork from Mahesh Vikram Hegde, which had been deleted. When I did this, I was following the "move to subpage of talk page" model presented in WP:Merge and delete. Please restore so that the attribution of PostCard News is not lost.

Thank you, Bensci54 (talk) 17:38, 4 November 2019 (UTC)

Muhammad iqbal

Hi, I have undone some of category replacements to works by Muhammad Iqbal (from Category:Poetry collections → Category:Pakistani poetry collections) as it is quite retrospective to categorize these collections as "Pakistani". Hope you understand. Thanks. Gotitbro (talk) 13:35, 5 November 2019 (UTC)

Jeanne d'Arc Boulevard article

Hey there Bearcat,

A few months ago I wrote an article on an artery road in Ottawa, Ontario (Draft:Jeanne d'Arc Boulevard). I then believed it was worthy of an article, since it is a major road in the city and I found that many other comparable roads had their own articles. My article submission got denied a few times, and not knowing doing so was against the guidelines, I re-published the article under the main wiki which I shouldn't have done.

I now see that the article was very undersourced, and I took the time to do some extensive research and greatly improve the article, adding info about the future O-Train light rail station, the Orléans campus of La Cité collégiale, more about the road's history, and other things that make it worthy of having its own article.

I resubmitted the revised article and I'm hoping that it'll get approved this time around!

Hi Bearcat!

Could you please review 2019–20 All-Ireland Senior Club Football Championship for transfer from draftspace to Article? This is an ongoing competition, full of match reports and citations. SportsAficionado (talk) 10:42, 14 November 2019 (UTC)

Possible suggestions of editors who may be interest to help improve an COI article.

Hello Bearcat

I would like to improve/update the Kent Tate article. The process of making requests on the KT talk page has made me quite weary. I was wondering if there is a task force or Canadian editors interested in improving Canadian filmmakers' pages. I have drafted a change page. I have access to all the articles. I have reached out for help on my talk page but was told I'm a poor writer. This may have some truth to it but I haven't received near the push back on any other article that I've written... so makes me wonder a bit. Do you have any possible suggestions? Thank you!LorriBrown (talk) 21:47, 14 November 2019 (UTC)
