ACC

I'll take a crack at it. My friends in England tell me that Canada is perceived as a "liberal catholic" province internationally. Let me see what I can flesh out. Thanks for the vote of confidence. Carolynparrishfan 22:50, 14 November 2007 (UTC)

History of the ACC

Regarding the unbalanced article: I agree. My contributions were intended to answer the questions: a) what is the first and b) what is the oldest? I think the casual reader wants to know that (for example, the enduring popularity of the Guiness Book of World Records); more so than a lot of the polity of the church. But yes, the article is unbalanced. Cheers! Wassupwestcoast (talk) 23:49, 19 November 2007 (UTC)

No, I wouldn't mind. My original intention was to combine the histories of the ACC and ECUSA because they share so much. But on reflection at the time, it didn't seem wise. Maybe, it would make sense to combine them. Cheers! Wassupwestcoast (talk) 01:01, 20 November 2007 (UTC)

Locator Maps

To use a locator map... Go to the lower half of this page about the template usage...Examples which shows the different formats for Croatia and a few other examples. The locator map can use either decimal or degree -minute-seconds of longitude and latitude.

I generally use Geo names to find the locations. Good luck.

All you have to do is change the label, and the longitude, latitude and all should be good to go.

So a copy and paste you could use for Grenfell located at Latitude - Longitude : 50° 25' 00" N - 102° 56' 00" W or 50.416667 (West is always a negative value for longitude in decimal format) -102.933333

So in the infobox under the value of image map, this is the template to paste in. |image_map = ((Location map |Saskatchewan |label=Grenfell |lat=50.416667 |long=-102.933333 |position=right |width=300 |float=right }}

I will adjust the locator map shortly about the locations, give me a few moments longer Kind Regards Julia SriMesh | talk 03:39, 4 December 2007 (UTC)

Hello I added the locator map within an infobox for Grenfell, Saskatchewan  :-)

For location maps without infoboxes see...some of these examples which also work with the longitude and latitude thrown in - maybe this way is easier. SriMesh | talk 01:28, 5 December 2007 (UTC)

Qu'Appelle, Saskatchewan

Hello there, you have done an amazing job on the Qu'Appelle, Saskatchewan, as well as Fort Qu'Appelle, Saskatchewan. it is great to see some locations with probably some of the oldest records come online, especially as this was not only a main trading post site, but also as you say considered to the capital of the NWT. Cool. Keep up the absolutely great work. You even have citations!  :-) SriMesh | talk 03:52, 4 December 2007 (UTC)

Re: Regina, SK article

Don't worry about differences in British vs. American spelling. However you guys write things up in Canada, is fine with me. What I was really referring to is the necessity of a good copyedit prior to nominating for WP:GA or WP:FA, particularly to catch any minor grammatical issues, or wikipedia manual of style issues, that the regular editors might have missed. Though overall, the article is very well written, but sometimes the professional copyeditors might catch things you and I might miss,... ;-) Also, two specific guidelines or templates that might help for the article are WP:USCITY and WP:UKCITIES (sorry, there's no template for Canadian cities; you're always free to start one ;-) ... but hopefully the two should help point you in the right direction towards improving the structure of any city article.

My edits have nothing to do with the PNG honours system, but rather with WP policy on the use of styles in articles. I suggest you familiarise yourself with the relevant policies (and urgently seek professional help with your continued delusions about me). Proteus (Talk) 11:35, 30 December 2007 (UTC)
