We do not move hoaxes or inappropriate articles to draftspace; instead, they are deleted. Articles are moved to draftspace only when a) the article is not blatantly inappropriate and the only concern is a matter of time (such as potential future notability) or b) when the article creator intends to work on it in good-faith and the article subject itself is not some autobiography or in this case, fictional animal.

Naming conventions for English language Wikipedia
[edit]Please note that Via Rail doe not use French for the name of stations in Quebec. See http://www.viarail.ca/en/explore-our-destinations/stations/quebec/drummondville for what thy call "Drummondville train station". In Wikipedia, the common usage has long been established to use "railway station" for Canada. Please don't start screwing with something that is not broken and lets concentrate on things that need some standards. I can work with you on that. Secondarywaltz (talk) 13:45, 6 May 2016 (UTC)
- @Secondarywaltz: Okie-dokie, let's do that. Let's first propose what we have to the CANSTATION talk page, shall we? <<< SOME GADGET GEEK >>> (talk) 14:20, 6 May 2016 (UTC)
- I started this discussion in relation to your sandbox, so I felt it was not relevant to discuss your private page there. That is not where you made any changes or suggestions, and I already posted there. I think there might only be the two of us willing to work on this anyway.

- Note also that AMT does not use the format "Gare de/d' X" but simply "Gare X". Secondarywaltz (talk) 14:35, 6 May 2016 (UTC)
- @Secondarywaltz: Noted. - I will probably update all mainline stations to reflect "X railway station" (although Via's French sites do use "Gare de/Gare d'"), but will need to consider AMT stations a little further - we could decide between either Mont Saint-Hilaire railway station, Gare Mont Saint-Hilaire or even Mont Saint-Hilaire AMT station (following GO Transit conventions), but the whole point was to avoid the "(AMT)" formatting as was the intention of USSTATION unless absolutely necessary for disambiguation. <<< SOME GADGET GEEK >>> (talk) 14:03, 9 May 2016 (UTC)
- This is the English language Wikipedia. That should be reflected in any naming convention here. You will need to go through each system and properly nominate any name changes. We cannot arbitrarily decide on this. That is why I have hesitated in starting the process. Thanks - I have more thoughts to come. Secondarywaltz (talk) 14:19, 9 May 2016 (UTC)
- I agree that parenthetical disambiguation like (CTrain), (TTC), (AMT) and (Montreal Metro) should be eliminated. You will have to chip away one system at a time. The first straightforward change might be in Edmonton and Calgary, to a generic "LRT station", and then every light rail system in the country would have one naming convention.

I added to the Phrygian Dominant page a simpler spelling. It has a long list of frankly verbose names, and a simpler one is Phrygian #3. You asked for a citation. I would cite Wikipedia itself, in the article on Phrygian: https://wiki.riteme.site/wiki/Phrygian_mode
"A Phrygian dominant scale is produced by raising the third scale degree of the [Phrygian] mode." — Preceding unsigned comment added by TheRealJeffreyBenjaminBrown (talk • contribs) 08:31, 26 May 2016 (UTC)
- Hi there. I don't know quite get what you're talking about - I have never edited the page Phrygian mode, nor has anyone asked for a citation of the statement above. If you like, you can post your concern on Talk:Phrygian mode and hopefully someone who's been working on this article will respond. Best, <<< SOME GADGET GEEK >>> (talk) 11:38, 26 May 2016 (UTC)
