Someone unfamiliar with the schools or the area (like me) might be looking for a college or university named "Lethbridge" that is in Lethbridge unaware that there are two (in the United States there is no established difference between terms "college" and "university").

			:The only thing similar about their names is the word “Lethbridge”. In Canada, where these two institutions are located, there is an established difference. Lethbridge College doesn’t even offer degrees. I feel that such a practice could lead down a slippery slope, especially given the American usage. After all, it wouldn’t make sense to create college redirects for every US university article, and university redirects for every US college. --] (]) 03:46, 2 December 2009 (UTC)

	Hi - it has come to our notice that you have recently created a new stub type.

	In the case of your new stub type, it covers far too small a subject. Very, very few individual cities gt stub templates, and in each case there is a specific WikiProject to do with them.

	Unless the article goes to ] status, it won't change. It's certainly not A-Class (Which is close to featured status). Personally, I'd rate it Low-Importance; I don't think so many Canadians across the country would know about this specific city that it warrants mi-importance (which maybe a dozen or so cities in the country warrant, in my opinion).] 19:41, 23 January 2007 (UTC)

	:You may be right, but it is debatable. Considering the exposure it's received in recent years in the media (i.e. Dar Heatherington, 2007 Scotties, a stop on several band tours and so on), I wouldn't be quick to drop it off mid just yet.

	::It is a pity that 206.163.235.114 doesn't register a username and thereby attorn to the jurisdiction of the arbitrators. Given that he or she does not, may I state my (doubtless unnecessary) full support of your laudable attempts to tone down the polemic and return the article to appropriate disinterestedness: may I also (doubtless equally unnecessarily) encourage you to entirely to ignore 206.163.235.114 without let or hindrance. The ludicrous suggestion that only a current resident of Regina has any standing to participate in a neutral-toned description of the city puts me in mind of a class I once taught at the University of Regina: I made occasional (in the context highly relevant) observations as to small town prairie life that were not entirely laudatory; some of the students inferred from the fact that I had lived elsewhere than Saskatchewan that I was ''from'' elsewhere than Saskatchewan and solemnly informed me that "We don't really like outsiders talking about our way of life." I got their ear by demonstrating my ''bona fides'' according to their bone-headed criteria and then pointed out how bone-headed those criteria were. I would of course make this observation to 206.163.235.114 him- or herself if he or she would register a username but there hardly seems any point so long as he or she hides from scrutiny as to his or her edits. ] 03:59, 3 February 2007 (UTC)

	::::Good idea. He or she has certainly given lots of indication of where he or she is coming from; the silly thing is it is unlikely that any truly impartial participant in the editing process would discount his or her viewpoint on the substantive issues at hand, which will doubtless make their way into the eventual outcome of this particular editing issue one way or another. Do you have any idea of the background of the proposal that there be an urban reserve and why this might be thought a favourable move with respect to the problems of personal safety in the NW neighbourhood? Clearly it's not of central importance to an article on Regina overall but if, as is stated, Saskatoon, Swift Current and other urban centres have gone this route there should at least be a footnote stating why they did so and whether the outcome was favourable. Meanwhile, where do you think this discussion should go? Clearly not where it is at present: it's not an urban planning issue, surely, is it? Certainly not one they address at schools of urban planning, anyway, and when they do, not successfully. ] 04:35, 3 February 2007 (UTC)

	:::::I have never heard of the proposal, but I certainly find it interesting 206.163.235.114 cries racism, but then brings up the urban reserve issue as if it will solve all of NC's problems. I certainly do not think it is an urban planning issue (I said as much in fact); I doubt city planners intended for Moccasin Flats to turn out like it did. It's a social issue, not an urban planning one. I think what needs to happen is that this section needs to be transplanted into another article, whether by itself or one with all the neighbourhoods/quadrants. That would discourage much of what is happening, in my opinion, or at least take it away from the Regina article. --] 04:46, 3 February 2007 (UTC)

I hope it is ok with you if I continue to find substantial articles about Regina and insert them with your help to go over them and get them looking polished and professional. Also, thanks for your assistance with the North Central issues, I agree with you that a priority is that we need to move the NC article to another place and possibly create articles for each major subdivision later.I do not know how to do that so if you want to do it, feel free, you have my full support.

	:"Introduction is vague or missing" -- Well, it wasn't missing till Mr or Ms 24.71.100.216 deleted it on the basis that it was "vague or missing." Improvements are always appropriate; it is difficult to see how simply deleting this introduction makes it less "vague or missing." One wonders what the issue is. Are we getting into the old heave-ho about wanting a sociological excursion into the causes of the social problems in the North-Central precinct? If there are published sources for such discussion, then by all means, why not. And Mr or Ms 24.71.100.216 should certainly feel free to go ahead and add such material.

	You are quite right. As I say, these generalisations really are truisms of the religion of sociology, and are readily supportable in the academic literature, but as you rightly point out they should not be presumed. (There are articles, indeed tomes, regarding the number of US presidents who have been from the minority but elite Episcopalians, for example, versus the anomaly of the elite Rockefellers having been Baptists: it is telling in this connection that when General Eisenhower was about to become President he found it desirable to switch from Jehovah's Witness to Presbyterian.) Where I am, in Australia, I cannot provide the necessary footnotes. So I have removed the observations: as I say, they are readily supported by all manner of published academic commentary in the sociology of religion but I do not have access to it -- and you rightly suggest that they ought to be footnoted -- but they really don't much matter. In due course it might be interesting to consider vis-a-vis Regina, Saskatchewan, the issue of the shifting demographic of the various denominations: the closing of St Andrew's and St. John's United Churches from the North Central, for example, as WASP Canadians have moved to the north and the south.

They were, the both of them, mainstays of cultural literacy in a Regina that was possibly not very literate for a long time. (Dr George Ledingham was the biology person; Mademoiselle Belcher was the French person; these few heroes brought their considerable scholarship to Regina College in the hope that sooner or later there would be a university in Regina, and indeed, eventually there was.) In fact my aunt was Dr Crossman's high school English teacher in Rosetown, and in Shakespeare classes at Regina Campus (as it was till 1974) it was mildly embarrassing to have all those cross (as 'twere) currents. As I say, when Dr Tom Peart died I got his library and it seems tragic that it is now overseas and the primary school named after him is now closed. ] 11:24, 23 June 2007 (UTC)

	Hello, fellow regular contributor to the Regina, Saskatchewan articles. My apologies for the recent contretemps with a user in Australia, which you may have felt yourself involuntarily drawn in upon. I confess that I overreacted: Crummy English I can handle; rudeness and arrogance together with crummy English sends me ballistic.

	Actually, I continue to maintain that my response to such user was not out of line — I do correspond regularly, believe it or not, with all manner of non-native anglophone business associates and friends in a half-dozen countries and in three languages — but never mind. Apparently for Misplaced Pages purposes I was wrong and I shall be more careful in future. (“Ad hominem,“ indeed!)

	However, please do not intrude on my user page. I am a poor weak fellow and I am susceptible to taunts. If I delete matters from my user page it is because I do not wish to be provoked by them to further indiscretion. If you barge in and restore such deletions without comment, surely you can understand how I might perceive that as being, at least prima facie, and certainly if it is without explanation, an act of aggression.

	I see you're interested in Mormon history....I'm not Mormon but my field of interest/expertise is the Fraser Canyon Gold Rush and the ] area in particular. Had a look at the early censuses and other stuff in detail a year or two ago and remarked that, in the first census in Lillooet, there were half a dozen or a dozen Mormons - listed as an ethnicity alongside Galicians (Ukrainians), Poles, Italians, Irish and all the rest. One of the main gold-mining bars just north of town, between the Bridge River Rapids (aka Six Mile, at the confluence of that river with the Fraser) and ] (aka 12 Mile) was called Mormon Bar. I'm wondering if there are any Mormon historians or records that might have diaries or journals of the experience of Mormon pioneers in the ] that might make mention of Lillooet (then known variously because of multiple local shantytowns as Cayoosh, Cayoosh Flat, Parsonville, Parsonsville, the Fountains, Bridge River and "Kayousch"; it didn't get the name Lillooet until fall 1860, when the rush was mostly over). See http://www.cayoosh.net (my hobby site) for more on the area; I'm always looking for new material from unusual, especially personal, sources...sometime in the near future I'm going to try and "get done" my long-postponed book on the area, as its 150th Anniversary is upcoming in 1858-60.] 09:18, 3 January 2007 (UTC)

	Hi. Saw your post on the ] talk page and I agree with you about the tribe->people thing; "tribe" in particular is a very US-side usage and kind of awkward, as you know, when used in Canada (when used by non-First Nations people anyway...). I'm all over the place on the Indigenous Peoples of North America WikiProject and I can tell you there's a lot of variance between the two forms, and some have brackets around tribe or people, some don't; there's also some that omit it entirely (] e.g.) as was also the case in BC with ] and other names (now disambigs, mostly; see how it got resolved on ] and the Lillooet pages....which are still kind of tangled. Anyway, yeah, there needs to be a standard; the Indigenous Project has been kind of fallow for a while but an appropriate place for discussion of this issue would be the talk page there....I've kind of overposted there so it might be better if someone else posted something for a change ;-) ] 09:12, 3 January 2007 (UTC)

	I think the individual who has recently chosen a name is engaging in vandalism, trolling, baiting, hurling personal insults, politicized and POV enflamed arguments, engaging in attacks, and generally spends more time making trouble than contributing (although the individual does have some contributions). I think we may have to report this. However, I am not sure of what to do now except, since the individual engages in trolling, to try and ignore as much as possible. However, the areas in which I usually work in Misplaced Pages are rife with these miscreants and we tend to shut them down quite quickly because of their disruptiveness and the difficulties that they create. What do you think we should do? for example, I saw above that you had considered 'arbitration' the last time (you mean dispute resolution?) but I think we might consider asking for an official comment from an admin who's familiar with this kind of thing.

WikiProject Canada rating

I've reverted your change to the Lethbridge rating - see my reasoning. Mind matrix 22:12, 2 June 2009 (UTC)

Re: Lethbridge College

I added the "not to be confused with University of Lethbridge" hatnote to the top of Lethbridge College because both institutions are in the same town, Lethbridge, Alberta, and share a similar name. Someone unfamiliar with the schools or the area (like me) might be looking for a college or university named "Lethbridge" that is in Lethbridge unaware that there are two (in the United States there is no established difference between terms "college" and "university"). If you disagree, please let me know why. -Mabeenot (talk) 22:10, 1 December 2009 (UTC)

The only thing similar about their names is the word “Lethbridge”. In Canada, where these two institutions are located, there is an established difference. Lethbridge College doesn’t even offer degrees. I feel that such a practice could lead down a slippery slope, especially given the American usage. After all, it wouldn’t make sense to create college redirects for every US university article, and university redirects for every US college. --Kmsiever (talk) 03:46, 2 December 2009 (UTC)

Fair enough. You're more familiar with Canadian higher education. In response to your slippery slope comment, we already have redirects and disambiguation pages that mix universities and colleges in the United States (for examples, see the hatnotes for Boston University and Trinity University (Texas)). -Mabeenot (talk) 05:44, 2 December 2009 (UTC)

You are now a Reviewer

Hello. Your account has been granted the "reviewer" userright, allowing you to review other users' edits on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged protection, will be commencing a two-month trial at approximately 23:00, 2010 June 15 (UTC).

Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under flagged protection. Flagged protection is applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial.

When reviewing, edits should be accepted if they are not obvious vandalism or BLP violations, and not clearly problematic in light of the reason given for protection (see Misplaced Pages:Reviewing process). More detailed documentation and guidelines can be found here.

If you do not want this userright, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. Karanacs (talk) 03:41, 16 June 2010 (UTC)

Cool. Thanks! --Kmsiever (talk) 15:50, 16 June 2010 (UTC)

Your submission at Articles for creation: Dave Siever (February 22)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by SwisterTwister was: This submission's references do not adequately show the subject's notability. Misplaced Pages requires significant coverage about the subject in reliable sources that are independent of the subject—see the guidelines on the notability of people and the golden rule. Please improve the submission's referencing (see Misplaced Pages:Referencing for beginners), so that the information is verifiable, and there is clear evidence of why the subject is notable and worthy of inclusion in an encyclopedia. If additional reliable sources cannot be found for the subject, then it may not be suitable for Misplaced Pages at this time. Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit when they have been resolved.

ARCHES

Hello, why did you remove contents related to their hiring of relatives in Special:Diff/996891573 even though it is properly sourced? "A senior executive’s family member was hired, earning $9,900. The auditors could not locate a resume or personnel file to verify any qualifications." "Proper personal conflict of interest declarations were not recorded when related individuals or vendors were hired or utilized." Graywalls (talk) 09:06, 30 December 2020 (UTC)

Because it had nothing to do with the $13,000 in interest income earned on SCS funding, which is what the sentence was implying. —Kmsiever (talk) 16:43, 31 December 2020 (UTC)

Managing a conflict of interest

Hello, Kmsiever. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about in the page Draft:Kim Siever, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a conflict of interest may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. We ask that you:

avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, colleagues, company, organization or competitors;
propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the {{request edit}} template);
disclose your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see Misplaced Pages:Conflict of interest#How to disclose a COI);
avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see WP:Spam);
do your best to comply with Misplaced Pages's content policies.

In addition, you are required by the Wikimedia Foundation's terms of use to disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution which forms all or part of work for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation. See Misplaced Pages:Paid-contribution disclosure.

Also, editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. Dan arndt (talk) 03:23, 15 February 2021 (UTC)

Thanks, Dan, for reaching out. I was afraid this might end up being the case, even though I tried to be strict about following notability and citation guidelines while creating the sandbox article. While reading through the COI guidelines you linked to (thank you, by the way), I noticed that editors with COI can use the AfC process for such articles. Do you think the article I submitted for review could be a candidate for AfC? Kmsiever (talk) 03:33, 15 February 2021 (UTC)
