A tag has been placed on Old Reece's, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article seems to be blatant advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article.

Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia. However, please do not add promotional material to articles or other Wikipedia pages.

StatsCan

Regarding your question on my talk page - StatsCan refers to Statistics Canada. It is the government agency which produces the only official population counts in Canada. All other numbers are derived or extrapolated from them. The figure of 701,000 you provided for Mississauga are estimates made by either Peel Region or the city itself. These figures can be discussed in the demographics section of the article, but not in the intro or infobox. This was established by consensus by Canadian editors on Wikipedia at the Wikipedia:Canadian Wikipedians' notice board. Mindmatrix 14:12, 2 March 2009 (UTC)

CFTR

RadioLocator doesn't actually have any way of confirming a station's coverage pattern; the map on a RadioLocator page is simply a computer-generated assumption based on the technical parameters of the transmitter. The station doesn't reach Sudbury on a daytime pattern — trust me, I spend at least five days a year in Sudbury and CFTR's nowhere to be found on the radio dial. It might get to Sudbury sometimes on a DX, but we don't make note of those on Wikipedia. Bearcat (talk) 05:57, 20 March 2009 (UTC)

CKIS-FM

Wordpress blogs are not appropriate sources for Wikipedia, and neither is Yahoo! Answers. Acceptable sources would be newspapers, magazines, radio or TV news coverage or books. Bearcat (talk) 20:16, 25 July 2009 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for File:TorontosBestRockVeriety.png

Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:TorontosBestRockVeriety.png. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use. Suggestions on how to do so can be found here.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Do you want to opt out of receiving this notice? Rockfang (talk) 02:00, 1 February 2010 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free media (File:TorontosBestRockVeriety.png)

Thanks for uploading File:TorontosBestRockVeriety.png. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Rockfang (talk) 02:01, 1 February 2010 (UTC)

Non-free files and rationales

When you use a non-free file on Wikipedia, it needs to have a rationale on the image's page. This image does not have one. Please do not remove the templates I added without adding a rationale.--Rockfang (talk) 21:18, 1 February 2010 (UTC)

File:Mona shaw.jpg

I have removed File:Mona shaw.jpg as the image you used is obviously copyrighted, the article it might go in Mona Shaw has been deleted and there is no fair use rational possible. Fred Talk 15:36, 7 November 2010 (UTC)

ArbCom elections are now open!

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
