Got an edit war of someone trying to add Pornography in Canada to the culture template...they are also trying to add pornography section to the Culture of Canada article. What do others think? Should we mention the fact that all men jerk off (as is implied by this edit) and have a wonderful image of Peter North (pornographer). Not sure about you guys but I think Peter North is a great addition ...hes the kind of Canadian we should teach our children about and hes is definitely a part of our culture and represents all that is Canadian - a Legendary Canadian bisexual porn cock "woodsman" as per the edit (ROLFMoxy (talk)) -- Moxy (talk) 04:09, 3 March 2014 (UTC) Candidates for Toronto Mayor 2014In the papers , TV, and Radio they only show (4) four candidates untill today, but looking in your site I see that there are 33 names listed in the running, why are the not mentioned in any of the media. and why would so many people want to run in this election Regards Ray — Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.244.50.176 (talk) 01:10, 4 March 2014 (UTC)
Help with a Canadian filmI need some help with looking for sources on the article Walter's Christmas. It looks like this film is part of an overall series called Walter & Tandoori, but I have a very strong suspicion that coverage will be primarily in French since the earliest title I could find for the film was Le Noël De Walter Et Tandoori. Can anyone help look for sources for the film? I'm thinking that it might be better to have an article for the series as a whole and redirect there, but I'm coming up with a dead end as far as sources go- partially due to language barriers and also because well, most of the search engines I use tend to primarily reference English language papers.

The College of Family Physicians of CanadaI work for the College of Family Physicians of Canada and would like to see this page expanded with helpful basic information. I understand there is a conflict of interest if I post content and the guidelines say to suggest changes on the talk page. Could someone review the following information and post what is appropriate? I have included third-party references at the end of each paragraph: The College of Family Physicians of Canada (CFPC) is a professional association and the legal certifying body for family medicine in Canada. This national organization of family physicians was founded in 1954 and currently numbers over 30,000 members. Members of the CFPC belong to the national College as well as to their provincial chapters. As a national organization, the CFPC offers services in both English and French. The CFPC establishes the standards for the training, certification, and lifelong education of family physicians. It accredits postgraduate family medicine training in Canada's 17 medical schools, conducts the certification examination in family medicine, and grants the CCFP and FCFP designations. Hehepps (talk) 20:51, 4 March 2014 (UTC) In 2013, the CFPC collaborated with the Medical Council of Canada (MCC) to deliver a new certification examination in family medicine. Those who pass the new exam, and who meet all other qualifications of both organizations, are awarded both the Licentiate of the MCC (LMCC)—the medical license to practise in Canada—and certification in family medicine designation (CCFP). The CFPC runs a program designed to support the continuous professional development of its members called MAINPRO® (Maintenance of Proficiency). This program assesses proposed learning modules and seminars against established standards and awards various types and numbers of credits learners can earn by participating in these learning opportunities. Credits are recorded and physicians must meet a standard number and type of credits in order to maintain their CCFP and FCFP designations. Each year the CFPC hosts Family Medicine Forum (FMF), a national family medicine conference. The conference offers hundreds of clinical and professional development sessions for family physicians over three days in November. The conference is held at varying host cities and provinces each year. The Research and Education Foundation (REF) of the CFPC was established to provide funding for honours, awards, scholarships, and grants bestowed by the College to its members. It is a registered charity with the Government of Canada. The CFPC is a member of the World Organization of Family Doctors (WONCA). The CFPC’s official journal is Canadian Family Physician. History The CFPC was founded in 1954 as the College of General Practice of Canada out of a need to ensure family physicians were dedicated to continuing medical education. At inception, it had 400 members. Dr Victor L. Johnston was the first Executive Director and remained in office for ten years. The first College Executive Committee and Board of Representatives consisted of 17 members. In 1964, the College changed its name to the College of Family Physicians of Canada. The CFPC is governed by the Executive Committee and the Board, who meet times per year. The current Executive Director and Chief Executive Officer is Dr Francine Lemire. Mission: To support family physicians through certification, advocacy, leadership, research, and learning opportunities that enable them to provide high-quality health care for their patients and their communities. Vision: The people of Canada have timely access to quality care provided by family physicians committed to the CFPC’s lifelong learning requirements. Summary of Goals • Quality patient-centred care • Rewarding and valued careers • Relevant and progressive educational standards • Research capacity • Organizational effectiveness • Social accountability and equity Hehepps (talk) 20:51, 4 March 2014 (UTC) Misplaced Pages talk:Articles for creation/List of Female Canadian Party LeadersDear fellow Canadians: Here's an abandoned Afc draft that someone put some work into and then never got around to sourcing and submitting. Is this something worth improving, or is this already covered under some other title? Or maybe its unnecessary to sort our politicians by gender? It will soon be deleted as a stale draft unless someone takes an interest in it. —Anne Delong (talk) 04:44, 6 March 2014 (UTC)
We already have a category for Category:Female Canadian political party leaders — and as noted, there are other lists and articles that already cover more specific accomplishments of note. Per WP:CLN, further, not every category has to be matched with a corresponding list — and this seems to me like a case where we don't need both. I'd say that the list should probably just be deleted, since it isn't serving any useful purpose that we aren't already meeting equally well or better in other places. Bearcat (talk) 05:51, 8 March 2014 (UTC) Misplaced Pages talk:Articles for creation/Ottawa fashion weekDear editors: I have been trying to fix up this old Afc submission, but I could use some help from someone who has attended this fashion festival or who at least knows where to find references for the Ottawa area. It sounds like an interesting event. —Anne Delong (talk) 19:23, 6 March 2014 (UTC) RMs on the Comox and Squamish disambiguation (and town) pages.Those Canadians who did weigh in at the CfD on Category:Squamish are being ignored and their views buried under more than my attempts to explain what people do not have the patience to learn what they do not want to know that gets in the way of their imposition of guidelines without any larger context. The name-conflict problem between aboriginal topics and primarytopic geographic names is not going to go away; these new RMs are a bit WP:POINTy, but to me so are the hide-bound invocations of COMMONNAME without any respect at all for PRIMARYTOPIC or the larger context of indigenous-titles conventions (conventions which are being swept aside by piecemeal applications of COMMONNAME and UE by those resistant to "unpronounceable" names). These RMs may muddy those waters further, but since indigenous preferences and cultural sensitivities/realities are not being respected, it stands to follow that, if that is the case, then the Comox and Squamish articles should not have comma-province on them...nor should Chemainus if it is disambiguated (Tzu'menus is the "new" spelling for the First Nations people there); tons of other examples. I know a lot of you have come to "keep away" from things I propose, but what's happening is that non-Canadians are running roughshod over Canadian titles and category structures who don't know what theyre talking about, and are creating name-conflict problems beyond their understanding (or concern). The chauvinism underlying their WP:POINTyness re COMMONNAME and UE is often shocking/glaring......when not just plainly parochial in attitude. As usual, rathre than address the points I raise (or that other Canadians raise) I'm being made the primary topic of t he discussion; in last year's CfD I had made a good case for Category:Skwxwu7mesh but the closer decided against it because I'd had to spend so much time responding critically to bad ideas and mis-suppositions by the other participants I was construed as engaging in personal attacks. But I'm the one being attacked by way of evading answering to very bad logics and mis-taken "evidence" and the ongoing blinkers-on mentality of those in the RM and CfD cabals/turfs....apparently criticizing what someone says is tantamount to criticizing them but it's OK to attack ME (as Ottawahitech has observed at the Cfd or Rm can't remember which)Skookum1 (talk) 06:16, 7 March 2014 (UTC) Jean ChrétienIf anyone's interested, it seems that Jean Chrétien's article could use plenty more images as it seems to be an unsightly wall of text at the moment after an editor added a substantial amount of content. --Connormah (talk) 05:49, 8 March 2014 (UTC) Invitation to User StudyWould you be interested in participating in a user study? We are a team at University of Washington studying methods for finding collaborators within a Misplaced Pages community. We are looking for volunteers to evaluate a new visualization tool.

Genie AwardsWhile I recognize that not really giving a hoot about Canadian film is pretty much one of the defining characteristics of Canadian culture, I'd still like to request some assistance in getting our coverage of the Genie Awards up to contemporary formatting and content and referencing standards — with the exception of a couple of years that I've recently updated (1st Genie Awards and 19th Genie Awards, and I've been tackling 24th Genie Awards today but am not done with it yet), very nearly every related article has one or more major problems that need some concerted attention. Many of the award-by-year articles, for example, have never actually been properly updated with anything beyond the "big six" (best picture, best director and the acting awards) categories; sometimes, but not always, the screenplay categories have been added, as well as, again sometimes but not always, winner-only lists for a completely random selection of other categories (in one year it'll be the documentary, in another year the animated short, in another year nothing, and on and so forth). And many of the award-by-category articles, in turn, are missing significant pieces of information too; before today, for example, Academy of Canadian Cinema and Television Award for Best Achievement in Music – Original Song went "11, 17-20, 22-32", and was missing everything else, and even for some of the years it did contain it was still missing the names of the songs (which is pretty damn important information in a list of songs, isn't it?) — I've got it completed as far back as 1990 now, but would still appreciate some assistance tracking down the older years. Is anybody willing to help out with this, or am I stuck driving a lonely road here? Bearcat (talk) 06:34, 11 March 2014 (UTC)
For anyone who is willing to help out, I've created a "project guide" at Misplaced Pages:Canadian Wikipedians' notice board/Genies cleanup project to explain what needs to be done and how to do it. Bearcat (talk) 22:29, 17 March 2014 (UTC)
RMs re indigenous people names and corresponding town/geographic namesPlease see Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Indigenous_peoples_of_North_America#current_and_recent_RMs_re_indigenous_names. Also note that unique town names still disambiguated that need not be include Chemainus, British Columbia which should just be Chemainus (the band has changed its name to Tz'uminus to avoid confusion). Canadian disambiguation practices and indigenous title conventions (not codified, but should be) are being given the short shrift on the various RMs and on the thorniest CfD, whether or not my efforts to refute the false claims and bad suppositions/narrow quotes from guidelines fielded by many opponents of the move are "TLDR" (which is a bore to hear, but not surprising from people who don't even read the whole of the guidelines they simplistically invoke as if they were ironclad, which they are not cf. COMMONNAME) the four Canadians who agreed that the PRIMARYTOPIC of "Squamish" is the town, not the people, have been drowned by "votes" from the cabals, and denunciations of myself for whatever reasons suits my attackers at the moment. The notion that the town is not the PRIMARYTOPIC has also been claimed on Talk:Squamish#Requested move.Skookum1 (talk) 04:09, 12 March 2014 (UTC)
Noting again that Chemainus, British Columbia doesn't need its disambiguation; and that re the PRIMARYTOPIC issue on Comox and Squamish, that the use of native names means that there is no confusion between the Kwikwetlem First Nation and Coquitlam, likewise re Nanaimo/Snuneymuxw and various others. Note my comments on the link about about Tsawwassen as to why it should remain disambiguated - because of the MOSTCOMMON use being the ferry terminal, not the FN. I may file an RM on Lillooet/Lillooet, British Columbia since the town name is decidedly unique and also demonstrably the primary use.Skookum1 (talk) 04:25, 12 March 2014 (UTC) I just filed another RM on Chemainus (Talk:Chemainus, British Columbia#Requested move.Skookum1 (talk) 06:53, 12 March 2014 (UTC) Also on Talk:Sooke, British Columbia#Requested move for the same reason.Skookum1 (talk) 07:02, 12 March 2014 (UTC) Misplaced Pages talk:Articles for creation/Isabelle LeblondDear editors: According to the guidelines, information about the above candidate should, instead of being a standalone article, be added to an article 2014 Quebec provincial elections. However, there isn't such an article right now. Is the upcoming election covered under another title, or should a draft of this article be started so that candidate information can be added? Or is this a bad idea altogether? —Anne Delong (talk) 13:40, 12 March 2014 (UTC)
Misplaced Pages talk:Articles for creation/Dr. Riley SenftWould anyone like to review this Afc submission that was a stale draft until I decided to improve it? I don't believe it can be described as a single event, since Dr. Senft was in the news for months, and is still getting into the news for his cancer-fighting activities. —Anne Delong (talk) 03:33, 13 March 2014 (UTC) Help needed over at Eaton'sCould we get some eyes on the Eaton's article, specifically the section called "Eaton's in Quebec"? Two users got caught up in an edit war in June 2012, which quickly degenerated into a series of insults and other unproductive behaviour on the talk page (see Talk:Eaton's#Eaton's in Quebec (section)). That fight died down, and then one of them quietly reinserted the text in question a year ago, and the other editor just noticed, so now they are back to reverting one another. One of the editors is willing to discuss on the talk page. Could editors with fresh eyes take a look at the section in question and please add their two cents? Some new input is desperately required. No need to read the past discussion, since it's mostly just insults back and forth. Thanks. --Skeezix1000 (talk) 16:40, 18 March 2014 (UTC) should unincorporated communities be subject to CANSTYLE re no-comma-province dab is unique?I've launched RMs on all but two of the items in the various municipal categories which are primaryuse and/or already redirects to themselves to strip the comma-province dab from them for consistency. Should this be applied to unincorporated settlements also? The two I've avoided are Squamish, British Columbia and Lillooet, British Columbia, the first because of two failed RMs decided from people from elsewhere who didn't have any clue about the town on Talk:Squamish people#Requested move and Talk:Squamish people#Requested move (thanks for showing up and flying the flag, folks...) and there is a still-open RM on Talk:Squamish#Requested move which includes the de-dabbing of Talk:Squamish, British Columbia (which hopefully will be more well-attended by Canadians as so far a lot of BC-related RMs are deluged by people not from BC who are unfamiliar with the town and insist that the people are the primary topic, despite the extant examples of Sechelt, Kamloops, Penticton, etc... Lillooet I may file an RM of the same kind on because of the items on the Lillooet dab page, the primary topic is the town (open to debate but in wiki terms the people title is St'at'imc and the Lillooet Indian Band is the T'it'q'et First Nation.Skookum1 (talk) 12:23, 19 March 2014 (UTC)
Yes it applies to unincorporated communities as well. There are at least three unincorporated communities in Alberta at their undisambiguated titles. Hwy43 (talk) 18:05, 19 March 2014 (UTC)
list of remaining open RMs
Contemplating Tsawwassen, British Columbia → Tsawwassen but not sure; it's not the FN that's at question, but the main primary reference to me seems to be the ferry terminal, which is not in Tsawwassen proper (nor is the IR/FN).Skookum1 (talk) 02:54, 20 March 2014 (UTC) There are more now, from A-G are done in Category:Populated places in British Columbia. Some I was lucky to be able to move them instead of to engage an RM. By the time I/we are done there will be maybe "thousands" of RMs....I wonder if I'll be dressed down for being "disruptive" like I have been on the indigenous names titles, which are in similar number.Skookum1 (talk) 06:17, 23 March 2014 (UTC)

Misplaced Pages talk:Articles for creation/R.J. (Bob) HugginsDear editors: This old declined Afc submission was forgotten, and another editor later made a fresh article about the same person: Robert J. Huggins. Is there useful material in the draft that should be moved to the mainspace article? Or should it just be let go as a stale draft? —Anne Delong (talk) 04:46, 22 March 2014 (UTC)
Re the CfD closure at "Squamish people"Well, seems like targeting me and being insecure about long passages of responses detailing why bad ideas are bad ideas is a successful tactic (and we're seeing the same game of illogic joined with accusations of unintelligibility of the proponent's rebuttals to wrong ideas, and we still have this problem category that was moved/changed by people who aren't even from the area or know anything about the topics at hand. The "Squamish" and "Squamish (disambiguation) RMs were non-admin closed despite other similar RMs on primarytopic=town have gone through, in many cases items of the very same kind. See Category_talk:Squamish_people#Re_the_2nd_CfD for other comments. Rather than complain about me writing in paragraphs instead of bullet points, I really think a lot of people in Misplaced Pages should start taking remedial reading..... and that they shouldn't "vote" on CfDs and RMs until they're knowledgeable about the subject at hand. "Waaah he uses big words and long sentences" is not an adequate excuse for not educating themselves as they should instead of complaining "I don't have time, but I want to make a vote based on a guideline I think is mandatory". This was wiki-lawyering of the worst kind but typical of the legal world also; don't examine the evidence, attack the proponent. Content and titles are suffering. What's up next? A MoveReview on all three of Squamish people, Squamish and Squamish, British Columbia at the same time to get them jointly relisted so a long hard look at the primarytopic nature of the town and the pattern of endonym titles that was SO OBVIOUS......ah, well, this'll be snitted at as another "wall of text" and it's a tiresome thing to be around people writing an encyclopedia that don't have the attention span to be able to read your average articles in the Encyclopedia Britannica. I doubt any of these people could handle reading a 19th Century novel or a philosophical treatise....Skookum1 (talk) 02:31, 23 March 2014 (UTC)
