Hey there. I've left some suggestions at your RFF. If you need any help with the article, drop me a line at my talk page. Regards, WackyWace converse | contribs 16:19, 13 September 2010 (UTC)
BC islands
editHi; saw your work columnizing these, just to advise I went over them and broke them up by group/ region, screwing the alphabetization in the process, and necessarily so. The North Coast begins at Milbanke Sound-Don Peninsula, the Bella Bella region is the core of the Central Coast; in some reckonings Queen Charlotte Strait is South Coast but that's not commonplace. I did what I could, and created subcats in the North Coast Archipelago, though I suppose Kaien Island (where Prince rupert is) could go with the Hecate Strait ones; and the Hecate Strait ones could be broken into a separate subgroup from the Queen Charlotte Sound ones; I'm not happy with either of those terms, btw, but they are in use, the reason I object is because some islands described as such are not actually on either body of water, but inland from them.....the North Coast Archipelago also includes the Central Coast items around Bella Bella; so maybe that section heading could just go back to North Coast, period; North Coast Archipelago is an informal/semi-official name, though not on BCGNIS.....Skookum1 (talk) 04:28, 16 September 2010 (UTC)
Mountain crabs
editSorry about this: I seem to be sending you round the houses. The source you cited states that the "mountain crab" is Sesarma haematocheir, but I overlooked the fact that it had been moved to a new genus since that source was written. That species is now Chiromantes haematocheir, a stub that would greatly benefit from some expansion. --Stemonitis (talk) 07:05, 16 September 2010 (UTC)
- No worries, I don't really know anything about the subject - I just noticed that there was very little written about these crabs and I wanted to expand that some. I'll move my sesarma section to the article you have suggested - any chance you could provide me with any references on the subject?
- May I also ask what the issue is with citing a blog post? I'm not aware of any Wikipedia rules against that, perhaps you could point me in the right direction.
- Cheers, Ewaladel (talk) 07:13, 16 September 2010 (UTC)
- I can't think of any good references off the top of my head, but let me know if you find any that you can't get hold of. I can access most major journals at work, and I'll happily send you PDFs. I don't know how much work you want to do on it, but I suspect that quite a lot must be known about C. haematocheir.
- Blogs are not usually considered reliable sources; there's a more detailed explanation at WP:SPS. --Stemonitis (talk) 07:20, 16 September 2010 (UTC)
- Honestly, I was out walking a couple days ago (on vacation in Nagano right now), I saw a crab, I looked it up, couldn't find much, so I tried to expand the subject. Beyond that, I'm probably not going to have time to work on a subject like this after I get home next week. Either way, I've now learned the species is actually called, and I've got a starting point for more research later on. Thanks for the help.
- Also, thanks for pointing me to WP:RS, it's a fair point (for all we know, I could have written that blog). Cheers, Ewaladel (talk) 08:00, 16 September 2010 (UTC)
When you moved this to Automated car, you left the extensive talk page and its history behind for some reason. Look in Archive 2 to see a previous move proposal. You'll need a new WP:RM if you think it needs to be moved. Dicklyon (talk) 03:51, 25 August 2018 (UTC)
Generally, you should respond where the conversation started, i.e. here on you talk page, not a new thread on mine. Anyway the talk page links to 3 archive pages, the second of which has a section Talk:Autonomous_car/Archive_2#Requested_move (you'll need to click on "show" since someone decided to hide it). In general, when there have been previous naming discussions, a move to a new name is considered to be not-uncontroversial. So use the procedure at WP:RM to propose and discuss a move.

Łutselk'e
editWhat was the point of this. I am working through a small group of articles reducing links to common terms as per Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Linking#What generally should not be linked. I'm not the only one doing this, see here for example. Are you going to revert everybody that is removing the link to Canada? At the same time I'm fixing the redirects. So "Métis people (Canada)" becomes "Métis in Canada" and "Denesuline language" becomes "Chipewyan language". CambridgeBayWeather, Uqaqtuq (talk), Sunasuttuq 10:26, 27 August 2018 (UTC)
