Criticism section of Gateway Program article

The wikipedia guidelines (http://wiki.riteme.site/wiki/Wikipedia:Criticism_sections) state that it is preferable to move statements from the general criticism section to the relevant section. The guidelines state : "While sometimes appropriate, this structure is not optimal, as relegating all criticisms to one section usually results in an unbalanced presentation. When present, such sections should be considered a temporary solution until the article is restructured to integrate criticism into each relevant section. It may then be desirable to have a "General criticisms" section near the end of the article, for those points which did not neatly fit anywhere else."

The edits I made clearly are meant to follow the Wikipedia guidelines. Why are you changing them? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 154.20.83.221 (talk) 20:34, 16 February 2009 (UTC)

Sorry about that. I was actually trying to add info to the link and ended up erasing it by mistake. I know that you folks - as well as the site in question - keep a pretty good eye on that stuff, so I figured that I'd let you replace it in the format that you felt best served the info.

Royal Roads University Wikipedia Entry

Hi Emarsee,

We agree that Wikipedia entries should not be promotional. Could we say that Royal Roads University targets students who are working professionals, instead of saying that it's Canada's public university for working professionals? Also, we would link this statement to the current Royal Roads website instead of what is currently linked: Royal Roads Military College which has not existed for 14 years.

Thanks

Removal of excessive fair use

Hi, it's been a little while; are you planning on discussing anything related to this? It's poor tact (and a bit disingenuous) to rollback all of someone's edits before even trying to talk with them about the problem you have, and then say you don't want to edit war over it. I don't see any valid reason for your reverts, and will reinstate my original edits if I don't here from you. Dominic·t 02:15, 26 February 2009 (UTC)

I was accused of vandalism?

Hello,

You have accused me of vandalism without citing which edit I made that fell in this category. I assure you, I would not vandalize a page and find this accusation unnecessary. If I made an error in an edit, I think it would have been more constructive for you to simply correct me.

Family Jr.

Excuse me, but you don't have to be so rude. I can't find a youtube link but if you have a day off or something, watch during the times Family Jr. or as you like to call it "Playhouse Disney" comes on, and you'll see during the time before another show starts, that the "Family Jr." logo will appear. What happens in this logo sequence is a red ball, a blue square, and a yellow triangle spin top all go around the room splashing their colours everywhere like paint, then they come together, then the "Family Jr." logo appears. I have only happened to notice that it is now called Family Jr. because I have been babysitting recently, since I am not in school for the time being(I am finished school).

Abbotsford skyline

Actually, there aren't many towers at all in Abbotsford, and only one in the "old downtown" at Essendene/South Fraser Way and McCallum - and that's the one for sure. There are some others at the other end of South Fraser Way, and some smaller towers. But if downtown Abbotsford has a skyline, well, that is it. Not that your amended caption is wrong. More "true" of the Skyline as such would be a view along the strip mall on South Fraser Way, or overlooking the Essendene area, with Mount Baker looming in the background; that is really Abbotsford's skyline....Skookum1 (talk) 15:20, 2 March 2009 (UTC)

Categories

{{helpme}}I'm wondering how you get italics to appear in categories like here Category:Channel_9_TV_stations_in_Canada. Is it also possible to change the name that appears in the categories as well. Thanks.  єmarsee  • Speak up! 06:32, 9 March 2009 (UTC)

When you wikilink to a category, you should place a colon in front of it (I just edited your request to fix it) so it doesn't add the current page to the category. To change how an article is sorted in categories I think you use the template:defaultsort thing. If that doesn't answer your question then add the "helpme" template again. Killiondude (talk) 07:46, 9 March 2009 (UTC)

The italics appear when an entry in a category is not a full page but just a redirect, for instance WNPI-TV's entry looks like:

 #REDIRECT [[WPBS-TV]]
 [[Category: Channel 18 TV stations in the United States]]

(channel 18 just redirects to channel 16) and would therefore appear italicised on the Channel 18 category page (WNPI 18 rebroadcasts NY flagship WPBS 16 into Ottawa). This much is done automatically; I don't know of any other means to force italicisation of a category entry. And defaultsort? I think that only affects where a page is listed within a category, but does not change the displayed name or text formatting. For instance, if an article on Tina Fey were tagged as [[Category:US vice-presidential candidates|Fay, Tina]] the category page entry for the article would still display her name as "Tina Fey" but the listing would appear in the 'F' section within that category - useful mostly for biographies filed by surname. --66.102.80.212 (talk) 17:02, 9 March 2009 (UTC)

The only way to change how a title appears in the category is to place that category on a redirect from the alternate title instead of on the main article. For instance, Category:CBC Radio One programs is on the redirect at Radio Free Vestibule, rather than the target article The Vestibules, in order for that category to display the "Radio Free Vestibule" title. If you were to put that category onto the real article instead, there would be no way to make the category display any title other than "The Vestibules" no matter what you did with it. The same action of placing the category on the redirect also causes that title to display italicized; there's no other way to make that happen. Bearcat (talk) 23:04, 9 March 2009 (UTC)

TV stations

Just so you know, there's not really a lot of point in changing the reference to a city in a TV station's article so that it's pointing to a redirect to the same article instead of directly to the city's article. In new writing, you're certainly free to use shortcuts like Yorkton, SK instead of typing out the whole word "Saskatchewan", if that makes things easier and saves time for you — but if the article's already pointing to Yorkton, Saskatchewan, there's no value in changing the existing link to the SK redirect instead. Bearcat (talk) 16:33, 9 March 2009 (UTC)

Defunct TV stations

It wasn't actually you that made the changes I was talking about WRT putting the rebroadcaster's call sign and information into the infoboxes; it was User:New World Man.

CFLA-TV should probably be considered defunct in the strict sense, but what makes that one a bit unusual is that while most of the others dropped their old call signs and became CBLT-6 or CBKT-4 or whatever, CFLA kept the same call sign. So technically the station never stopped broadcasting in the sense that CKNC-TV or CJFB-TV did; it just changed where its programming was coming from.

I'm going to have to look into the CBSET-1 thing a bit more closely; while its current presentation seems not right to me, I'm not sure what would be the best way to handle it. Bearcat (talk) 00:02, 10 March 2009 (UTC)

A-Channel logo

Hey Emarsee, just a quick note about the A-Channel logo edits to avoid any kind of edit war thing, I explained it in my reverts, but the logo didn't always have the "A" in black, most of the time it did, but that's only because most of the time they presented it against a black background. The black was not technically apart of the actual logo itself. So since it's not an actual part of the logo, then this is the better one to use.

RCSS article (again)

Believe it or not, the editor who was giving us problems a few months ago over the logo at the RCSS article, is back, demanding the opposite of what he demanded last time! He now wants us to say the new logo (generic type for both Superstore and Loblaws Superstore) is not used for Loblaws Superstore advertising, because it is not used on their flyers. Last time, he was arguing that the logo used on the website should be the determining factor. I checked, and the website is still using the generic logo for Loblaws Superstores in Ontario. Feeling like I'm about to beat my head against a wall again, I will try to discuss it with him, and no assistance is required yet, but please keep a watch on the article, Real Canadian Superstore, and the user, User talk:99.224.112.64.

CBAFT-TV

I know that usually, Channel 6 broadcasts on FM Radio 87.7, but that is not the only frequency that can be used by Television Stations, I have listened to my MP3 Player, and on the Japan FM Radio dial, which is found below the North American FM dial, I could hear channel 11 crystal clear on FM 81.7 MHz. That is why I mentioned it in the article. I don't know if anyone knows of this but I know for certain it is the right frequency, and channel that I am hearing.

Low Power FM

Do you use Short Wave Radio or something?? Also, this is not a radio station, radio stations always interfere with other frequencies. But as for this, this is a TV station which I can hear on the Radio, and it might not be legally broadcasting on it, but I know it is. Usually TV stations don't interfere with Radio Waves unless they are broadcasting on Channel 6, in which it would broadcast on 87.7 FM on the the standard Radios. CBAFT can be heard on the very low FM Dial, which is the Japanese Radio Dial. Anyway, I just thought I would put that in that Article. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Nathan Williams (talk • contribs) 17:42, 9 May 2009 (UTC)

BC Highway 7

Hey man, I read the highway 7 article and concluded that it in fact is actually entirely and completely all wrong. There is not two portions lougheed highway. The entire article is so wrong in fact, it's har to know where to start. Firstly there are not two segments as the article claims, the entire Lougheed is continuous. It does not being near schoolhouse street. Whomever wrote that has obviously never driven the lougheed highway as the lougheed carries on all the way to Boundary, where it turns into Broadway, which as far as I know is STILL a part of Highway 7 which terminates at Granville ST. I am reverting the article to a version from WAY earlier because at least those versions have the correct pieces of the highway and don't suggest that the highway is not continuous because I am very very 100% positively sure that in fact the Lougheed is continuous.

Just thought you should know seeing as you edited the page not too long ago. TotallyTempo (talk) 03:57, 14 May 2009 (UTC)

Lougheed is concurrent for the duration of highway 7, east of Broadway. This webpage merely points out where the province is responsible for highways. If you look at the notes on the bottom of the page it says "Some portions of contiguous highway are under municipal jurisdiction" And this is the case with the Lougheed/ Highway 7. The part that goes beyond the overpasses at the Cape Horn and winds around Riverview hospital is still apart of highway 7 despite the fact that the provincial government does not exercise jurisdiction over it. Indeed, a parallel would be highways the pass through federal parks. The Provincial government does not have jurisdiction over these sections of the highway, however it does not mean that the highway itself doesn't continue.

At first I took your "good will" edits with respect. but after seeing your edits of late without consultations or respect, I no longer consider your edits in good will, but willfully disrespectful. Although I started the article I realize it's subject for editing, but editing for the better, not for the worse. If you wipe out entire sections, how is this improving the article. After you finished butchering the article, it looked like crap. Please stick to your radio's & TV expertise. As this article involes my alma mater. I also coach there. Members of my family have gone there. I have more insite on this subject then you do. it's frustrating to put so much work into something you love, only to have someone go and tear it down without an iota of thought. I've also noticed that you seem to edit other peoples articles with similar disrespect. Smarten up!!! The fact that you think you're editing in goodwill doesn't mean you are. Your point of view might not be other peoples point of view. Your edit of my article is not my point of view. Iota 9 (talk) 00:13, 23 May 2009 (UTC)

Let me see if I understand you... If I'm a police officer, I shouldn't write articles on crime?? Or if I'm an architect, I shouln't write or edit aticles on buildings. Why?? because it conflicts???

Re B'way...."well, actually....."

just saw your edit comment re Kitsilano, and yes true enough in the city of Vancouver there is no such thing as a Broadway Avenue or Broadway Street. BUT its old continuation in Burnaby, which runs in fits and starts from Brentwood right out to North Road, is "Broadway Avenue", I think...maybe Broadway Street, but definitely B'Way Street or Avenue.....no biggie. It's generally a block north of Lougheed and winds up in the top end of the Lake City Industrial Park, and another chunk of it forms the connector between Gaglardi Way and Como Lake Road....Skookum1 (talk) 23:02, 14 June 2009 (UTC)

Architects of Landmarks in Metro Vancouver

Dear M.R.C.

There are buildings described as landmarks in Metro Vancouver in Wikipedia. Most of these building have the architect listed because this is important information. Review it for yourself and you will see that the 2 essential pieces of information is when it was built and who designed it. Otherwise what other information do you consider paramount to the design of a building that is admired and recognized by the public? Buildings do not just happen, they start as amorphous concepts which through the sheer will of the architect are pushed and pulled into their final built forms. It may take 10 years for a major building to come to fruition and involve hundreds of pages of drawings backed up by models and renderings.

If one saw a painting of the Mona Lisa, it would be important information that this was painted by Leonardo Da Vinci. If one heard the Ode to Joy it would be important to know that this was composed by Beethoven. If one read Harry Potter it would be important to know that this was authored by J.K. Rowling.

Architecture is a source of interest to many people although obviously not to you. If you go into any bookstore there will be a substantial architecture section. People travel to cities all around the world to view the architecture. There are even books on Vancouver architecture because it is of interset to people. Many architects have even become public icons such as Frank Llyod Wright, I.M. Pei, Frank Gehry, Arthur Erickson, Moshe Safdie or even president Thomas Jeffersen.

All I am saying is to have some empathy. You have your own interest set which appears to radio stations. I believe a more common public interest is architecture and by your edits, you are denying the public of essential information. There is a wikipedia article for Canada Place that reads " The white sails of the building has made it a prominent landmark for the city, as well as drawing comparisons to the Sydney Opera House in Sydney, Australia and the Denver International Airport in Denver, Colorado." When I visit the Denver Wiki page it states that the building was initially designed by Perez Architects and was completed by Fentress Bradburn Architects. Of course the Sydney Opera house is an architectural masterpiece admired by the entire world and it was designed as a result of Jorn Utzon winning an architectural design competition. So my point is, here in Vancouver is a building being compared to one of the world's greatest architectural masterpieces and you in your wisdom think that the architect of the building is irrelevant.

We obviously do not see eye to eye. Perhaps you could involve an admistrator to resolve this issue.

Thanks Tonsilitis (talk) 18:53, 28 June 2009 (UTC)

Use of rollback privileges

Would you please care to explain why you decided to abuse your rollback privileges in undoing my edits today? Rollback is to be used for blatantly unproductive edits (i.e., vandalism). I have never conducted any vandalism on this project. My edits were in good faith, in line with policy and guidelines, and your use of the tool to undo them is abuse. I would ask you to provide a detailed rationale as to how my edits constituted vandalism, and since I conducted so much vandalism why I wasn't reported for vandalism. If you can't provide an adequate rationale as to how my edits were vandalism, I will ask for your rollback privileges to be suspended. Or failing that, you can undo the abuse and apologize for your actions. Thank you, --Hammersoft (talk) 03:07, 29 July 2009 (UTC)

Legality of fair use vs. use on Wikipedia

Emarsee, I want to address the particular issue of legal fair use vs. use on Wikipedia with you. You stated at [2] "as far as I know, Mike Goodwin has stated that using logos on articles constitute as fair use". The response to this has been stated multiple times in multiple places. Nevertheless, I want to get this point crystal clear.

Using something under fair use on Wikipedia doesn't make it acceptable on Wikipedia just because it's legal to use. Quoting our policy on this at WP:NFCC, "using more narrowly defined criteria than apply under United States fair use law". Our fair use policy is deliberately more restrictive than fair use law. It being legal to use is just one step to being acceptable here. Some of the additional steps relate to fair use law (for example, prior publication) but not all of them.

Just because Mike Godwin says it's legal doesn't make it acceptable. It only makes it legal. Mike Godwin is the legal counsel for the Wikimedia Foundation. He does not set policy on local projects, and has no more significant role than any other editor in determining the appropriateness of non-free content usage beyond his legal counsel role for the Foundation.

In short, legal does not mean acceptable. It is just __one__ of many criteria towards being acceptable. --Hammersoft (talk) 16:09, 29 July 2009 (UTC)

File:Canada Line.svg

The only problem I have about this image, is that you inserted "Broadway-City Hall" as a transfer station. What I thought was considered a transfer station is a station where you can change from a line to another. Bridgeport, I believe, is counted as one because it can "transfer" to either YVR or Richmond Centre-Brighouse, but Broadway doesn't go to any other line except for the Canada Line. What are your thoughts on this? -- [[SRE.K.A.L.|L.A.K.ERS]] 06:48, 18 August 2009 (UTC)

I thought that was the reason why you put that as a transfer station, though I still believe it is incorrect. If you look at DavidArthur's SkyTrain map, you will see that he did not put either Lougheed or Broadway as a transfer station, just so you know... -- [[SRE.K.A.L.|L.A.K.ERS]] 21:02, 18 August 2009 (UTC)

Port Mann Bridge: neutrality tag

Hi Emarsee,

I see you've reverted my removal of the neutrality tag on the section of this article concerning opposition to twinning the Port Mann. I should explain my reasoning. The tag has been in place since February, at which time another editor (Rwerner) specifically objected to the use of the term "very controversial". Subsequent edits saw the removal of that subjective description, thus resolving the original dispute. No objections appear to have been raised to the remaining material, which is limited to describing the groups opposed to the project, and their reasoning. Vortigern (talk) 20:09, 19 August 2009 (UTC)

Was it along the same lines of reasoning that you removed the disputed NPOV tags from the New Democratic Party of British Columbia article? I of course assume good faith in that you know what you're doing, however in the future it would help if you could please leave an edit summary such as "Dispute resolved" to let other editors know your reasoning behind removing tags, especially one having to do with neutrality. (Sorry for butting in Emarsee :) -- œ^™ 20:46, 19 August 2009 (UTC)

Similar reasoning, yes. In that instance, no specific reason was even given on the discussion page for the POV tag, which had been in place for nine months. Still, in future I'll make sure to give reasons for removing such tags. Vortigern (talk) 21:34, 19 August 2009 (UTC)

Non-free logos

Hello. Thank you for trying to save the logos from the television station pages. However, simply interspersing them through the rest of the article doesn't really justify their use. Non-free media must achieve something than simple words cannot. Can you find a reliable source discussing the change in branding, or something, which directly relates to a specific logo? The JPS^{talk to me} 17:13, 29 August 2009 (UTC)

Most logo changes happen when the networks have a rebranding and they can be found on the Canadian Communication Foundations. Other than that, I don't believe there are a lot of sources out there, besides Youtube videos.  єmarsee  • Speak up! 17:49, 29 August 2009 (UTC)

You have not added critical commentary. You've merely thrown the images in where there is a lot of text. The images are at the moment purely decorative. I'm not going to revert again today because of the 3RR. Without sources and genuine critical commentary you cannot use the logos. The JPS^{talk to me} 18:04, 29 August 2009 (UTC)

I believe I have added critical commentary. If you don't see what I've did as critical commentary then nothing I do will ever please you enough for the logos to stay on. As I mentioned before, sources for logo changes are usually from the CCF, but they are very vague.  єmarsee  • Speak up! 18:12, 29 August 2009 (UTC)

The yellow 'A' logo shows promise, but the other two in that rather messy section are problematic. I don't see the critical commentary that justifies using these non-free media. Critical commentary isn't a currency -- a 'History' section doesn't buy you an image. You need to justify every image. The JPS^{talk to me} 18:21, 29 August 2009 (UTC)

I can add some more commentary to these logos, but it's going to take a lot of time. I have a question regarding wordmark logos. Are they still considered NFC when they only contain words and simple shapes? See this as an example. As far as I understand, they are in public domain.

Why??

Hey man long time no talk. With regards to the Lougheed, and the thing being split and not part of Highway 7, I have figured out a solution. Basically, what we could do is make an article for the "Lougheed Highway" and then have a section that says "Highway 7" and say "this part and this other part past Ottawa Street are provincial Highway 7, while the rest of the route was decomissioned in 200??" What do you think about that?? I now see that you are right about highway 7 being divided, but the lougheed is still a major arterial route, and deserves it's own article. I think BC Highway 7 should redirect to the subsection of the Lougheed Highway article entitled "Highway 7"

Hey, check out what I got on my talk page: "The WP:NFCC is a Wikipedia policy, and must be followed. I have reverted your edits on British Columbia Highway 7 as you are still failing criterion 8 and do not have fair use rationale listed for these images. If you want to dispute the copyrighted status of these route markers, then talk to WP:MCQ. Thank you.

Isn't that special. Other highway articles use signs for marking highways, I fail to see how BC is any differentI'ma deal with this tomorrow probably around 6 pm EST or so, after I return from work. TotallyTempo (talk) 04:10, 2 September 2009 (UTC)

On this point, since I left this message - the US route shields and state route shields are all public domain as US government work. The BC traffic signs from what I understand are still copyrighted items, and per their copyright notice template were refused to be published as a free item. --Admrboltz (talk) 04:13, 2 September 2009 (UTC)

I have asked uninvolved people their opinion on this matter at Wikipedia:Media_copyright_questions#British_Columbia_route_images. Thank you --Admrboltz (talk) 04:29, 2 September 2009 (UTC)

2007 Canada broadcast TV realignment

You should seriously have read the article before you removed that. Apparently all relevant update were NOT done a long time ago unless 2007 lasted until 2009- that would make it the longest year in history! --208.38.59.163 (talk) 23:26, 2 September 2009 (UTC)

File source problem with File:Chch1986.png

File Copyright problem

Thanks for uploading File:Chch1986.png. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, their copyright should also be acknowledged.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 16:49, 3 September 2009 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Salavat (talk) 16:49, 3 September 2009 (UTC)

Re: Logos needing "sourced commentary"

To be honest, I don't know what they mean when they say "sourced commentary". I have really given up on trying to figure that one out. Me and another user (an admin) have locked horns on this image removal and this "sourced commentary" thing. Please ask your favorite admin what they think it means, they will probably have a better idea than I would. Sorry I couldn't help more :S.

If the logo is public domain, let J Milburn know that so he can readd it. - NeutralHomer • Talk • 23:48, 3 September 2009 (UTC)

Logo

(Edit) No, it's a duplication. No point in having this image when there's such a similar one in the lead. Revert it if you want, but I don't see the point. Black Kite 23:55, 3 September 2009 (UTC)

Marking text logos as PD

Thankyou. Much as you probably see me as some evil logo-removing bastard, as long as the images are tagged properly I haven't got a problem. There's probably a lot more images on TV station articles that fit the text-only bill as well. Black Kite 01:01, 4 September 2009 (UTC)

Stop removing my mentions that the logo and promo style was changed.

CBC Television logo

Hi,

I noticed you uploaded the logo for CBC Television that is currently in the CBC TV articles. They have recently changed their logo (the new one just has the letters CBC underneath the CBC corporate logo, the television part is gone), any possibility you could update the file to the new logo?! I noticed it is an SVG file, I don't know how to create those so if I upload the new logo it will be in PNG format. Let me know, thanks! The GateKeeper07 (talk) 03:35, 18 September 2009 (UTC)

Thmc1 re Chinatown, Vancouver - now at 4RR

As of his latest reversion he's now at $RR reverting the same content, as he'd done the same to two previous attempts of mine to "stay the course". See User_talk:Piano_non_troppo#4RR and the preceding section, ando note warnings on User:Thmc1 re other Chinatown type pages and a similar pattern of edits/conduct. Actual definitions and stats would help (to cite although elsewhere he's deleted Britannica references because they didn't suit his taste/line....)Skookum1 (talk) 20:51, 19 September 2009 (UTC)

Chinatown, Vancouver size

Hi Emarsee, I'm glad I now have the chance to express my intentions and actions to you.

Let me first say that I am a novice at Wikipedia editing and this, in fact, is the first time I am even finding my way around to get to a Talk page. I actually requested Editorial assistance, and editor(?) "Jayron" (or is it "Jayron32"?) advised me to air my same concern on the Talk page of the "Chinatown, Vancouver" article. I proceeded to try that, but I then stumbled upon your message, which I'm glad I did, because I sincerely did not understand why my completely legitimate edit kept being reverted, or by whom, especially when I took great care every single time to actually express my rationale carefully in the Edit Summary.

Let me next convey that I am a very nice person who has absolutely no intention of engaging in an "edit war." I also only subsequently learned about this "3-revert" rule.

Let me additionally address statements made by "Skookum1" and "Piano_non_troppo". First of all "Skookum1" may possibly be begrudging at me because I was actually able to prove to him numerically that he was incorrect regarding his insistence that the SF Bay Area has a larger ethnic Chinese population than the NYC metropolitan area -in fact, NY's is larger, with over 600,000 (as compared to over 500,000 for the Greater SF Bay Area) by Census American Community Survey 2007 estimates. Regarding "Piano_non_Troppo" (editor?)'s comment, I didn't realize that a Britannica reference was held sacred even with regards to modifiying its comment as a former fact, until I saw his warning about that issue to replace the Britannica reference with an equally authoritative reference. For the record, I have NOT seen any warning fom him about a "3RR," not to say that he didn't send one - I just haven't seen one, as your message to me has been the first that I have seen in that vein. Finally, I am surprised that he would state that I have been short on statistics, because I seem to be the one quoting them more often than most others! I also firmly believe in statistical integrity myself.

All that under the bridge, let me address the actual content of my complaint, as I did to the Editorial Assistance site:

Regarding the first line in the "Chinatown, Vancouver" article: I propose that this line needs to be re-stated as, "Chinatown in Vancouver, British Columbia, is the largest Chinatown in Canada and one of the largest in North America." The allusions to the San Francisco and New York Chinatowns are absolutely inappropriate there and should be removed from that context. Such a statement as I propose contains integrity and would avoid and replace an irrelevant, numerically unsubstantiated, unreferenced, and almost certainly inaccurate phrase, including the relatively extreme superlatives. The appropriate idea to be conveyed is that Vancouver's Chinatown is indeed the largest in Canada and one of the largest in North America, rather than an imprecise comparison with other specific Chinatowns and even more significantly, a comparison BETWEEN two OTHER Chinatowns, certainly an inappropriate statement to be present in the first line of "Chinatown, Vancouver." Clearly, therefore, references to San Francisco's Chinatown as well as New York's "Chinatown" (by the way, which one in NYC? - there are multiple in the city proper alone) should be eliminated entirely from this context.

Furthermore, the phrase in question itself is clearly inaccurate, given that the Manhattan Chinatown of 2009 enumerates about 80,000 to 90,000 Chinese residents and is apparently experiencing a very recent resurgence of immigration from Fujian and Zhejiang Provinces in Mainland China, while San Francisco Chinatown's proper could have AT MOST (and unlikely) 60,000 such residents, if recent Census place/zip code estimates are an accurate indication. Additionally, it is important to note that Chinatown boundaries have further blurred in recent years as they have expanded, and there are no official Census counts for such "Chinatowns."

I have no vested interest in any of these issues, but I strongly feel that facts need to be updated when they change with time. Otherwise, editorial credibility is sacrificed.

Restating the line as I propose endows neutrality and integrity to the content of the article and strengthens it to encyclopedic quality. The line in its present form is absolutely invalid and unacceptable.

Thank you, Emarsee, and I hope to hear back from you. I'm just not completely sure at which site I would receive your message.

Respectfully yours,
