St. Catharines article et all

Hey dude, thanks for the work you've done on the St. Catharines and related articles. It's nice to see the article grow from nothing more than a stub when I first edited it to a large article with a wealth of information on the city. Good show, keep up the good work! Snickerdo 23:11, 15 April 2006 (UTC)

St. Cats/Community Photos

Hey dude, I don't know if you get down to the Facer Street area often, but if you could snap a picture of that large Ukrainian Church at the corner of Niagara, Vine and Facer that would be an excellent photo for the Facer page. Pictures of the war-time homes (in contrast to the North End, which is all suburban-style) would be quite cool to add, too. I've been meaning to snap some photos myself to add, I just haven't gotten around to you. Snickerdo 07:41, 17 April 2006 (UTC)

Hey dude, I've managed to get a picture from the side of Sts. Cyril and Methodus Church on the corner of Niagara/Vine/Facer and added it to the Facer article. I didn't get a chance to stop and take some pictures of the other places though, it would be awesome if you got some pictures of the shops, cafes and churches in the area. Facer is certainly one of the most unique areas of St. Catharines, and I hope to expand the article much more than it is right now. I might also tie in Ryderville into the article, which is the subdivision directly to the east going towards Bunting Road and more or less included as part of the North End. It is a much newer development that is entirely residential and part of the Grantham Annex, but still home to many Polish and Ukrainian immigrants - including my Grandmother. I also added some pictures for Glenridge, and also have pictures for Western Hill when I actually go ahead and make the article. The St. Catharines article and its associated sub-articles are certainly getting to be something special. I also need to get an article done for Secord Woods along with some pictures. Secord Woods is what Martindale and Vansickle will look like in 10-15 years. Snickerdo 17:15, 19 April 2006 (UTC)

Getting your own images deleted

You can request your own images speedy deleted by any admin (or using {{db-author}}) under criteria G7 of WP:CSD:

• Author requests deletion. Any page for which deletion is requested by the original author, provided the page was edited only by its author and was mistakenly created. If the author blanks the page, this can be taken as a deletion request. Note: Please check the page history to make sure there is only a single author.

Just a heads up in case you didn't know. Circeus 04:32, 23 April 2006 (UTC)

about Niagara Health System

Hey there. I noticed your created that article; I also noticed most of it was copied verbatim from http://www.niagarahealth.on.ca/about/index.html. That's generally a no-no on Wikipedia, in accordance to WP:COPY. It's definitely okay to source facts -- but the words you use to describe them have to be your own. I noticed this and rewrote in my own words (sure they sound similar... they're describing the same thing... but they're my own), but someone else could have just slapped a big honking {{copyvio}} template on it and got it deleted. Please avoid doing this in the future...

Also, when you create an article that has to do with Niagara, please categorise it under Category:Niagara Region, Ontario or one of its subcategories. It makes it much easier for other editors to find the articles; I only found your NHS article by looking through the list of pages that link to Regional Municipality of Niagara, Ontario.

Other than that, happy editing! :) --Qviri (talk) 15:18, 24 April 2006 (UTC)

Jeff Wincott

Hey Trappy,

Do you have any means of confirming whether or not Jeff Wincott is an alum of Ryerson University? This inquiry is simply for fact-checking. --Folajimi 19:43, 3 June 2006 (UTC)

Re: Facer Street

Hey dude, I'll see what I can do, but I very well may end up dead with the French flag I plan on draping over my car. Not that I'm a fan of the French team, but man, anyone is better than those damn Italians :-p Snickerdo 02:26, 7 July 2006 (UTC)

I search help

Hallo, I am sorry, I have two invocations:

• 1) I am searching free images for article about Kristen French (and for cs: verzi). Please, can you help my and make pictures of Kristen's grave and monument to Kristen's memory on beginnin of Green Ribbon Trail? (both images are on web, but probably not free ( here ). And from Czech Republik is it in St. Catharines "a little long way".

• 2) Can you your images to locate directly on commons? En: is not only wikipedia with article about St. Catharines. :-)

• 3) I am very sorry for my horrible english.

Cinik 05:58, 15 August 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for your answer, I place my request on talk of article St. Catharines. May be somebody there... :-) Cinik 03:40, 19 August 2006 (UTC)

Heh, did he threaten you as being a vandal of a page you've worked on for the last two years, like he did me? I'm just going to keep removing the reference and keep telling him to go to the :talk. Snickerdo 03:22, 28 January 2007 (UTC)

Mediation Cabal regarding St. Catharines, Ontario

A request for informal mediation has been lodged with the Mediation Cabal, and I have taken the case and will be serving as the mediator. The request page for this case is viewable here. I'm going to have a read through of all the material and post all discussion on the article talk, although if you have any specific queries feel free to add them on my talk page. I just want to remind you that participation in mediation is voluntary, but should be a good starting point for discussion and help to prevent sanctions or administrative solutions. I look forward to discussing the article with you. Jem 15:20, 29 January 2007 (UTC)

Orphaned fair use image (Image:BrockU Logo.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:BrockU Logo.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image 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 images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable under fair use (see our fair use policy).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. 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 fair use images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BetacommandBot 19:06, 11 May 2007 (UTC)

St. Catharines, etc. Pages

I've been living in St. Catharines only 3 years and am from Montreal (if you take a trip to Mtl from your home base at Ryerson you can come to me for tourist info).

You added a photo to the Port Dalhousie page with the caption mentioning "Lighthouse". Actually, those are not lighthouses, they are range lights which are used together by ship's navigators. If you like. I can change it and try to add a picture of the other rangelight.

Don't you think that Niagara should have it's own project? It seems to be a cohesive entity quite distinct from the Golden Horseshoe or, rather, a project within the Horseshoe project.

I have taken a lot of pretty good photos around here and intend to put some up sometime but I'm kind of new to Wikipedia. Would it be alright if I asked you, obviously a veteran, to check what I've done once I get around to doing it?

By the way, thanks for all the contributions you've made. CWPappas 00:43, 17 May 2007 (UTC)

Re: Art Deco City Hall

Yeah, I've been meaning to do it myself, too. One only needs to look at the Supreme Court of Canada building to realize that, yes, our city hall is very much Art Deco, albeit not anywhere near to the level of Buffalo's. Snickerdo 04:01, 2 June 2007 (UTC)

Disputed fair use rationale for Image:Downtownstcathlogo.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Downtownstcathlogo.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read the instructions at Wikipedia:Non-free content carefully, then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies for fair use. 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 it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted within a couple of days according to our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot (talk) 08:03, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of City Journal (Ottawa)

The article City Journal (Ottawa) has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Fails WP:N, a weekly urban newspaper that was published for single year before being discontinued

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{dated prod}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Speedy deletion nomination of Service Inspired Restaurants

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Service Inspired Restaurants requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about an organization or company, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion," which appears inside of the speedy deletion ({{db-...}}) tag (if no such tag exists, the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate). Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. RadioFan (talk) 17:20, 29 May 2011 (UTC)

Copying within Wikipedia requires proper attribution

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from St. Catharines to Downtown St. Catharines (your addition has since been removed). While you are welcome to re-use Wikipedia's content, here or elsewhere, Wikipedia's licensing does require that you provide attribution to the original contributor(s). When copying within Wikipedia, this is supplied at minimum in an edit summary at the page into which you've copied content. It is good practice, especially if copying is extensive, to also place a properly formatted {{copied}} template on the talk pages of the source and destination. If you have copied material between pages before, even if it was a long time ago, please provide attribution for that duplication. You can read more about the procedure and the reasons at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. Thank you. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 21:08, 4 November 2017 (UTC)

Request to use image for art history book

Dear Trappy,

I am writing to request permission to use an image from your database for my book on art in Rome. The book is called "Nature and Imagination in Ancient and Early Modern Roman Art" and is being published with Routledge/Taylor and Francis. All the images in the book will be reproduced in black and white, and the book will be distributed primarily for scholars and libraries. There will be 150 hardbound copies.

The image I am requesting to use is your photo of the cupola in the Cappella della Sindone:

Chapel of Holy Shroud Cupola.jpg. https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Chapel_of_Holy_Shroud_Cupola.jpg

I would be discussing the image in connection with similar cupolas by the architect Borromini in Rome. I would give you full credit for the photo in the book.

I am happy to pay something to thank you for your work and for letting me use your image. But I should point out that I do not expect to make any money from this book, so my resources will be limited.

I would need to send you a permissions form (I can't send an attachment here) that you would have to sign and photograph or scan and email back to me.

Please let me know if you can give me permission for this image and thanks so much for your help in advance. My email is Gabriel.pihas@gmail.com

Yours, Gabe Pihas
