There's been a long-established consensus that media lists should actually be spun out of the city article and into their own separate lists, whenever there's sufficient content to do so — please see Category:Lists of media by city and Category:Lists of media by city in Canada. For instance, there'd be no point in spinning out a "Media in Kenora" list from Kenora — but for a city the size of Guelph, it is often better because the media section and the city's main article are both quite substantial in length.
And even if there were a reason why we wanted the media list to be a section in the city's article instead of its own list, why would we deleteMedia in Guelph instead of redirecting it to the city's article? Bearcat (talk) 14:08, 6 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Re:Removal of images from Canadian Afghan detainee issue
Well, sorry, they don't. What those two people look like is of no importance to the issue, and so it fails NFCC#8, and, in any case, they're both still alive (I believe?) and so the use of the images is contrary to NFCC#1. J Milburn (talk) 02:54, 11 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
On 11 April 2010, In the news was updated with a news item that involved the article Ununseptium, which you recently nominated. If you know of another interesting news item involving a recently created or updated article, then please suggest it on the candidates page.
I looked at it again and did not see any major issues that I can see as far as GAN is concerned. The GA reviewer will doubtless find something I missed ;-) but this looks pretty good to me. I think I would make a little clearer what the non-gallery images are - so say they are Candaian or British troops pictured, or that it is a general image of a redacted document.

Hi I will be doing the GA review for the Canadian Afghan detainee issue the link to the review page is here Talk:Canadian Afghan detainee issue/GA1.
I've reviewed the article and left notes on the talk page. I've put the nomination on hold for seven days to allow the issues to be addressed. Feel free to contact me on my talk page, here, or on the article talk page with any concerns, and let me know one of those places when the issues have been addressed. If I may suggest that you strike out, check mark, or otherwise mark the items I've detailed, that will make it possible for me to see what's been addressed, and you can keep track of what's been done and what still needs to be worked on.--Jim Sweeney (talk) 18:54, 8 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I removed that category to remove overcategorization. An article should be in a more specific subcat if possible, and removed from up the tree as it is then redundant. Ng.j (talk) 06:10, 16 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Hi, I saw you removed the 'see also' section from CFAP article, and I wondered why you did so? The Canadian Forces page is definitely an interesting article to check for anyone who reads about the agency's Artists Program! Cheers - [CharlieEchoTango]09:42, 10 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
It would seem that moving an article that is being rapidly edited without extensive discussion is a major no-no. Hope I never make that mistake (I've made plenty of others already). Thanks for clarifying. HuskyHuskie (talk) 22:38, 13 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The purpose of a navbox template is to navigate back and forth between related article. Every item should be directly related and it should be placed in every link so that you can return again.
{{Metrolinx}} is only a shell for three other templates:
{{Navbox GO Transit}} does that adequately but there is no need for it to be inserted in unrelated articles.
{{Navbox Air Rail Link}} is mostly a series of redundant external links which are already in the ARL article. Related articles listed should be under "See also", since you are not going to insert the template there to allow you to navigate back.
{{Navbox Presto}} is mostly a series of redundant external links which are already in the article. You are not going to add this template to "Radio-frequency identification", "Accenture", "Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area", "Ottawa", etc. because they are not directly related to the PRESTO card, and you should not enter it in every transit system either.
What needs to be done is that the Metrolinx navbox is trimmed to only contain directly related articles. This would be the ones that currently link to it. The two redundant templates should be deleted. Secondarywaltz (talk) 16:58, 11 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks - good format now. You are correct, those main ones are divisions. Presto and Air Rail Link templates are not needed and should be deleted. The Presto one is simply a list of links already detailed and maintained in the Presto card#Rollout table. Air Rail Link template is unused. Secondarywaltz (talk) 21:44, 26 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Haha, I was just working on some stuff today, including an infobox and a track diagram. It appears the B-Line is a go for sure, its currently in a detailed design phase, and there may be enough content to warrant its own article (B-Line (Hamilton)?). As for everything else, it could go into another article about Hamilton RT, covering the "BLAST" plan. Thoughts? --NaturalRX23:05, 29 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Hi. When you recently edited The Big Move, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Queen Street (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

You don't need to make another file out of the two images you want to display together. By using the template {{multiple image}} you can combine several images both horizontally, as demonstrated, or vertically. The images can then be replaced individually to suit changes in the related article. Notice how I have simply reversed the images to match the text you used in The Big Move article.

I have moved all the "Toronto Air Rail Link" templates to a Metrolinx system. It is only one line and by creating a system now it allows for the addition of other lines in the future. Color can also be standardized and does not need to be redefined every time. 23:41, 29 November 2012 (UTC)

"The Paradigm Shift at GO Transit" http://www.ceo.on.ca/files/GO,Final%20Presentation%20Slide%20Deck.pdf . Perhaps you can make something out of this. I find it a little confusing, since they seem to mix the use of colours throughout. I already sampled two for use in the station infobox. Your estimate to use for the default was pretty close so I left it, but I am not so sure that it is the primary. A public announcement should be coming - but so is Christmas :) Secondarywaltz (talk) 02:49, 29 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Yeah I saw that too, but it seems that when they were prepping that slide deck, they had the primary and secondary colours reversed. From this Star article: "The new logo will see the word ‘GO’ change from a medium green to a darker, forest green tone....On the trains and buses, the current green — a meadow hue that perfectly matches that of Ontario’s highway signs — will be replaced by both the new logo green and a lighter apple green." So the darker green must have been changed between then and now as the new primary. Anyway, I changed the logo using that slide deck and applying my guess for the primary. Like you said, it's pretty close, we will have to wait for public announcement to get it exact. --NaturalRX03:06, 29 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I think we should wait. The problem I have with this is that the Wikipedia branding does not match the current official GO Transit one. Remember that things need to be referenced. Secondarywaltz (talk) 03:24, 29 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I'll agree to waiting, but if you take a closer look, the new logo has bolder spacing on the T. I based it upon the slide deck you sent me. Here is a side-by-side comparison. --NaturalRX13:43, 29 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Yes. That is a good side by side comparison. We won't know the exact proportions until GO publishes something better or upgrades their website. Secondarywaltz (talk) 14:06, 29 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I say GO! - but don't replace the old one, as if it never existed. There is historic value in the original design. I'm going to try and "catch" some of the new vehicles, with my camera, to capture their paint design. Secondarywaltz (talk) 15:48, 29 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
But don't replace the old one, as if it never existed. There is historic value in the original design is what I requested above. Why don't you just create a new name for the new logo in Commons? Secondarywaltz (talk) 15:06, 6 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
On second thoughts it might be easier to update the old one, so that it shows up everywhere, but create a historic copy of the original under a different name. Secondarywaltz (talk) 15:12, 6 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
That was my rationale for replacing it, but yes, I can re-upload the old one under a different name. I'm on a trip right now, so I'll have more time to do all of this next week. --NaturalRX16:17, 6 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
GO Bus in new colours. Perhaps you can find the appropriate place to insert it. Different reflected light and shade changes the apparent colours, so don't use this picture for sampling, stick to updates from the website. Note the addition of a Metrolinx logo towards the back.
