Hi. |
|
|
|
|
|
You might be aware that there has been some contention around the use of userboxes. There has also been a new ] added with regard to templates. |
|
|
|
|
|
A box you are using, ] was recently tagged as such. I've removed the tag, but would ask that you <nowiki>{{subst:}}</nowiki> the template. You may also wish to contribute to ] if you are not already. |

::The thing is, we've had quite a bit of disruption over the last few months around user boxes. Some from admins going a bit delete happy and pushing their agenda, some from new editors not understanding that the purpose of every action here is not to create an encyclopedia pushing ''their'' agenda. Even if you simply use <nowiki>{{subst:}}</nowiki> to make it plain text instead of a template, that would be really helpful. - ]]<span class="plainlinks"></span> 05:47, 11 February 2006 (UTC) |

==Your userpage was briefly delisted by a rogue admin== |
|
|
|
|
|
You have a userbox ] which links your userpage to ]. There is currently a movement to ban userboxes from Misplaced Pages which are shared and which create ]. Certain admins have taken it upon themselves to preemptively sabotage and/or delete such categories and template. Here is the ] which reported damage to yours, in which hundreds of userpages were delinked from categories without the users' knowledge. They have been stopped, barely, and the damage reverted— for now. |
|
|
|
|
|
There is a ], which if passed, will make required by policy the damage done to categories and templates such as '''User UN/United Nations Wikipedians'''. If you do not want this to happen, I urge you to vote '''Oppose.''' in the poll. Support is currently running at about 66%, and your vote could make the difference. It is said to require 75%-80% to be deemed reflective of consensus. |

You're right that it is silly. But while the article may appear to you to be written in "American" English it is in fact written in Canadian English and in that variety of international English, as I say, "practice" is a noun and "practise" is a verb. Please check the Oxford Dictionary of Canadian English if you wish authoritative confirmation. ] 08:39, 15 May 2006 (UTC) |

Indeed, on closely reading the article, I am perplexed at what makes you think it is written in "American" English. The only word in the article that departs from international usage is "hospitalized" with a Z rather than an S and that is the protocol in Canadian spelling. "Practice" for the verb, however, is incorrect north of the 49th parallel and Madam Justice McLachlin is indeed the Chief Justice of Canada. ] 08:44, 15 May 2006 (UTC) |

Indeed, on further close reading I note that "Governor General" was spelled with a hyphen. That is British, not Canadian, spelling. I have corrected this as well. ] 08:49, 15 May 2006 (UTC) |
