Third opinion

What debate? -- Earl Andrew - talk 04:58, 15 September 2009 (UTC)Reply
Oh, I see. The editor had a problem with my reverts, and didn't discuss it with me first. I see the issue is about consistency, well, I clearly started with this format before he used his. Plus, mine shows more information. It's basically the same table as his, except it shows more information. What's wrong with that? The editor is removing information. That is akin to vandalism. I think instead of simplifying this page to match the others, we should expand the others. -- Earl Andrew - talk 05:03, 15 September 2009 (UTC)Reply
Could you explain in a bit more detail? Irbisgreif (talk) 05:19, 15 September 2009 (UTC)Reply
There's not much more to say. The other editor started creating similar articles for the other federal parties in Canada, after I had created this one. He started using a different table format which shows less information. He then came here and changed the format already in place to match the other pages, instead of expanding the other pages. -- Earl Andrew - talk 21:48, 15 September 2009 (UTC)Reply
For consistency's sake, I suggest you both discuss which format should be used and use it on all such articles. Irbisgreif (talk) 22:30, 15 September 2009 (UTC)Reply
I agree with Irbisgreif regarding the advantageous nature of consistency. While I'm here, I must say that it is really great that you both are working to expand Wikipedia in this area. Keep up the hard work! —Matheuler 22:37, 15 September 2009 (UTC)Reply

Confusion leading to factual inaccuracies

edit

Hi all,

Hoping someone more knowledgable on the subject can help me here...

We recieved an email (via OTRS) highlighting the point that Pierre Cyr's bio on this page, in the New Brunswick Tobique Mactaquac section, is a mix of 2 persons who happen to have the same name. One was candidate in the 2003-2006 elections but was not in Nepisiguit in 2010 and is not a McGill educated or retired person.

Could someone please have a look at this and make the appropriate adjustments?

Regards, and thanks in advance,

That was verified off of the CBC biography. -- Earl Andrew - talk 02:36, 11 April 2011 (UTC)Reply
Update: found some info on the NDP website to use. It was hard to find, but since I am have been using their software for another candidate, I knew where to look. (I guess there is a conflict of interest here, but watch my edits closely if you must) -- Earl Andrew - talk 02:43, 11 April 2011 (UTC)Reply
Nope, that's quite OK; thanks for making the changes (glad I left it to the experts!). Regards, Daniel (talk) 03:21, 11 April 2011 (UTC)Reply
