I noticed that you reverted the "see marijuana" change on the Liberal Party article. Perhaps the link should just be to marijuana rather than cannabis (it redirects there anyway) as marijuana is the term usually used in political discussion. -- JGGardiner 20:43, 31 January 2006 (UTC)
I might normally prefer the term as well. In Canadian political discourse marijuana seems much more common. I don't have a strong opinion either way but I thought it might maintain what the anonymous user had intended. -- JGGardiner 21:00, 31 January 2006 (UTC)
Hey CJ, an editor has been changing the order of the results of an election in riding article from the current standard (ordered by the number of votes the candidates received) to alphabetical order. I think we should develop a consensus. Given your past interest in these articles, your comments would be welcome at Wikipedia:WikiProject Electoral districts in Canada/Election results. Ground Zero | t 02:38, 3 February 2006 (UTC)
You need to edit the Charlie Angus page to reflect that he does not live in the riding he represents.
He lives in Cobalt which is 60 km outside of the riding boundary. This is verifiable in the January 21st edition of the Timmins Daily Press in which Angus said that he "technically didn't live in the riding".
R...
I understand that it makes sense to put the riding name in a table when you're putting tables in a person's article and you want to identify where they ran. But for my part, in the article about a riding, it seems like unnecessary clutter to repeat the riding name in every table, especially when it's at the top of the page as the article name. And do you think that User:Lightoftheworld is someone we know? Regards, Ground Zero | t 00:16, 7 February 2006 (UTC)

I'm one of the people responsible for replying to mail to the Wikimedia Foundation. As part of this, I have been told to take this action (deletion of relevant sections) whenever there is a legitimate complaint that may have legal connotations. It is better to have a section removed for a time that to have problem material on view. We can then repair and replace as needed.
I mentioned the main problems, as I understand them, on the talk page - The disproportionate representation of these "controversies", and the implication that gives. If an article on you has two paragraphs about the time you shook hands with a racist, that implies an awful lot about your views - even if the reality is that he was someone you met once and whose views you never knew.
This ties in with our NPOV policy - issues should be included in proportion. So the questions are, are they important, are they relevant, and are they balanced in relation to other information. And, of course, we need to check that they are also fully accurate and properly sourced.
All the above applies to the last section too. Is it in proportion? Are these really significant events? Or are they minor incidents that are thrown up to smear and make implications? This needs to be decided before the section can be put back in.
I hope this answers your questions -- sannse (talk) 00:20, 23 February 2006 (UTC)

No, you're quire on track with Gold Dragon. I have been concerned about his editorializing. I don't think that he is a genuine POV-pusher, but rather that he is writing in a more florid, journalistic style that is not appropriate for an encyclopedia. This style is very prone to POV coming out. If I had more time on Wikipedia right now, I would join you in you watch, but I'm afraid that my time is very limiited. Keep up the good work. Ground Zero | t 13:03, 8 March 2006 (UTC)
The line: "noting that a fiscal self-examination was overdue while spending on new programs was rampant" also caught my eye as being blatantly biased/POV, and was actually part of my last edit, though I decided to postpone doing anything about it until I've checked out the reference, in the unlikely event McGunity actually said something to this effect (which I highly doubt).
Re: Royson James - I would consider him to be more of a free agent (better yet, a Lastman apologist). In any event, calling him a "supporter" of Miller is an overemphasis in spite of his stated preferences. A critic would have been far more appropriate.-- AlvinofDiaspar 16:58, 8 March 2006 (UTC)
Not withstanding our recent disputes over the articles of several current politicians, I otherwise hold most of your contributions in high esteem.
I define myself as a moderator of extreme criticism and apologist articles. Obviously, certain articles are being used as attack vehicles and I commend your efforts for blocking vandalism to the Stephen Harper article.
Compare the articles of Jack Layton and David Miller. Yes, the Layton article is a lot less formal but it is more about the facts. Just facts. Andrew Coyne's editorial was brought in because I felt that his column best described Layton's election strategy. At the same time, the reader does not get a sense of whether his direction is right or wrong.
By contrast, the David Miller article is rather apologist and supportive. The facts are arranged in such a way so that the reader is driven towards a conclusion, whether it may be a sly dig at his opponents or a vindication of Miller's actions, even though the raw information might be NPOV on their own.
One example is the "police in jail comments" which was described at great length and ends with Miller having an 82% approval rating. Likewise, the garbage dispute which despite the Mayor's optimistic outlook has not been resolved and still remains at the mercy of Michigan politicians. In our recent dispute, I feel that while you afford lots of attention is given to the downloading issue and the board of trade criticism, the spending policies are barely discussed and they are reduced to a footnote despite the abundance of material.
Raising the formality of the article effectively sets that apologist tone in stone, and that essentially stifles any potential criticism whatever. Because of these constraints, there is less room to maneuver and suddenly those minor words become all important. That is what I feel is causing the impasse.
Another article that has a similar problem is Joe Clark. Although I do admire his policies and his style, I do take issue with the way that his PC leadership comeback has been presented. It runs contrary to many pundits who feel that the effort had mixed results at best, or even a failure.
Although there may not be a quick solution over the dispute with David Miller and several other current politicians, there are other articles that we have worked upon that have left no protracted diagreement between us. I await your response on my talk page.

You asked about GLF's letter etc. I had my attention drawn to this by a friend at Chelsea. In the letter he refers to two constituency meetings (one of which he attended) where overwhelming support was made for two issues. After the meetings had said what they wanted their MPs (the "member for Chelsea" being one) stood up and said they disagreed and were not going to take those wishes any further. I am told that members of his Ward committee suggested he resign after the letter was published as they felt it was "disloyal". Clearly he did not. 86.143.82.10 05:59, 10 March 2006 (UTC)
You may notice anon reverts, that go by the IP 201.58.153.33 [4] or something similar in Canadian politics. Daniel Davis has traced the IP back to Brazil4Linux whom I and several other wikipedians had a nasty edit war with back in December 2005 over some video game articles. Brazil4Linux's account has been permanently banned for personal attacks and sockpuppetry among other things, but as an anon user, he is still watching our contributions list and harassing some of us.
Brazil4Linux's recent anon reverts are likely for the sake of causing trouble to me, rather than being an endorsement of your work. I'm sure that he doesn't even pay attention to the content since Canadian politics is outside of his expertise on videogames, Brazil, and soccer. Chances are that Brazil4Linux will do you no harm.

This article is being turned by Mr. Crummey into an off-topic personal and family history.

I stand by my version because it can be interpreted ambigously as a "he said she said", with both sides making their respective claims. The problem I find with your sentence addition is that it is a defence that the Axworthy camp would take, and putting it in a non-biased article would clear Laliberte of the accusations.

Hello, CJCurrie- I've prepared an article on Len Evans, the "godfather of the Australian wine industry," and was trying prevent his name from redirecting to Leonard Evans of Canada. However, it was late at night and I didn't get to complete the transaction. I think a disambiguation page would also be in order, although I don't know how to set one up. Please share your thinking on this. Many thanks. David Justin 19:20, 24 March 2006 (UTC)
Despite the heated edit wars that we have been having as of late, I nonetheless have to commend you on that astute observation. I have found that name in one mainstream source [5] but in this case, I'm willing to defer since I'm pleased that your wording leaves it in a "he said she said" ambiguous situation. GoldDragon 02:20, 25 March 2006 (UTC)
Please explain your comment about "watching Sussexman's contributions". Have I broken a rule? You have deleted a statement which places Murphy in a positive light - what he was arguing actually came true - and you have deliberately changed the entry to show, basically, that he was expelled by the party when it is a known fact, even reported in the Bradford newspapers, that Eric Pickles bragged that he (1) would have him expelled and (2) did. What, therefore, is offensive about facts and why have you altered them? What is wrong with my contributions? I have not been involved in politics for 14 years now.

I don't know if parties in Israel are required to provide a "full list" of 120 candidates for 120 Knesset seats. I know it's customary for the "big" parties to do so as a point of pride but I suspect a number of the smaller parties would have trouble mustering a 120 person list. If there is no such requirement then, really, there'd be no need for most parties to have a list of more than a few dozen names (if that). Homey 01:07, 31 March 2006 (UTC)

Well yes, the subtle(?) innuendo I got was the suggestion of sex tourism (men coming in and out all day, one guy coming out to play catch with a boy - heavens, what is a Sun reader to think - perhaps I'm overly suspicious but I don't see the point of including such mundane details otherwise). Ruprecht is quoted in the Star today saying a Spanish teacher friend of his died last week after being in a coma for 10 days which is probably the truth, Blizzard's innendos notwithstanding. Whether his other trips to Cuba are health related, I don't know. I know Cuba is renowned for "miracle" cures for eye ailments but I don't think they're known for anything else health wise that couldn't get elsewhere. Mexico is usually the destination for people looking for magic health cures but you never know. Homey 02:40, 20 April 2006 (UTC)

I have sought to be completely accurate in the changes I have made. The original text was in fact repeating similar inaccurate "spin" put on the Green Tax shift by opponents seeking to portray the Green Party as right-wing. This may be fine in a partisan context but should not be given the credibility of Encyclopedia record. I can back up any changes I have made and asked Homey to specifically state what is inaccurate. Homey has not done this to date. Please see the talk section of Ericbwalton. EricbWalton
What do you think of the "what-if" Dave Barrett was elected NDP leader over McLaughlin? Since he campaigned about Western alienation, do you think that the NDP did not make that a priority since he lost (which might explain their 1993 federal election showing somewhat)? I feel that McLaughlin have tried to concentrate on Quebec instead, particularily after Phil Edmonston won the by-election.
Several other BC politics articles had "what-if" scenarios, such as when many (one was NDP's Mike Harcourt) saw Rita Johnston's victory over Grace McCarty as a mistake for the Socreds in the 1991 election. GoldDragon 03:56, 25 April 2006 (UTC)

Hi there,
I saw your contributions over at the Marc Emery article, and thought you might be a good person to talk to about this.
I've started a Marijuana wiki (aka The Sticky Wiki) which I think you might be interested in. I'm hoping you can help me get started with this project. Whereas lots of articles about weed get speedy-deleted on Wikipedia, they would be totally cool over at MarijuanaWiki. But really I want the site to be more of a marijuana community than merely an encyclopedia.
To give you an example, I want to have city guides about where to score, find pot-friendly cafes, marijuana events, and what represents a good price in that city. Etc. (You can check out the featured article: "Toronto" to see what I mean). I also want to have grow diaries and marijuana blogs. All in all, basically more communal than encyclopedic.
I am in need of admins/moderators, and people experienced with MediaWiki to help build policy, categories, and templates, etc. If you'd be interested in helping me with this project, the URL is MarijuanaWiki
Thanks for your time and consideration. Hope to see you there!

I did both a quick google search and factiva search on Tristan Emmanuel and controversial/controversy. The only thing that came up, other than the wikipedia info in question, was the controversial nature of same-sex marriage legislation and the controversial nature of the hate crime bill. While I accept that the one Islam commentary was controversial, what is the bigger controversy? I trust that it's more than the fact that he holds social conservative views. I note that Svend, a confessed thief and instigator of controversial legislation, gets to be introduced only as a "prominent activist" in his introductory sentence. What about Laurier LaPierre and his bizarre anti-Christian comments. Does that warrant a controversial intro? What is the standard for being "controversial" and are we applying it in a balanced manner? Deet 03:03, 28 May 2006 (UTC)

We have had our differences in the past and doubtless we have entirely different political ideologies. But given your many contributions in the form of articles, which, I think, none of the British right-wingers have tampered with, might I call upon your sense of fair play as an Administrator? Gregory Lauder-Frost's article has been vandalised in the past day or so by some newcomer called User:Edchilvers.This individual, I have found doing a trawl of Google, is having some unholy argument with Michael Keith Smith of the Conservative Democratic Alliance. He appears now to have decided to import that row into Wikipedia via vandalism of those he associates with Keith Smith. I cannot say for certain but I would say its unlikely that GLF, living in Berwickshire, ever sees Smith, who lives on the South Coast. GLF is interesting and at one time he played a prominent role in Tory politics outside parliament. Personally I think we need more articles like his on Wikipedia. Can you look into this EdChilvers affair? I would argue that such an obvious attempt at vandalism for personal reasons warrants a block. 86.137.204.101 09:54, 1 June 2006 (UTC)

I'd like to suggest that instead of spreading the battle out over multiple talk pages, we should consider opening a centralized RFC discussion to cover the whole shebang in one place. My own position, reviewing the whole affair, is that I'm personally uncomfortable with Wikipedia using "apartheid" in the title of any article that isn't specifically about South Africa — in other cases, I really think we should stick to neutral and accepted titles like Israeli-Palestinian conflict instead of Israeli apartheid, or homophobia instead of sexual apartheid. Would you be able to help provide a neutral summary on a centralized RFC page? Bearcat 01:13, 10 June 2006 (UTC)

Please stop vandalizing this page. It is completely unnacceptable to do a blanket revert simply because you don't like a few of the edits, but not all of them. You obviously may want to revert certain edits, but to do a blanket reversion is quite simply abusive. See also the Talk:Saskatchewan Party page, for further discussion.

Holy POV-mongering! A quick dig through the history shows that you're quite right about that article being subject to heavily POV edits. As requested, I've added it to my watchlist (although it's currently under protection, it'll undoubtedly have problems again once protection is lifted). — GrantNeufeld 11:21, 26 June 2006 (UTC)
64.110.251.69 ( talk · contribs) is suggesting that you have been engaged in activities contrary to the Wikipedia:Sockpuppetry policy. I've replied to reject those claims. You may want to look at the discussion on my talk page and their talk page. — GrantNeufeld 22:41, 5 July 2006 (UTC)
NDP articles are victims of vandalism. It appears you are good at making edits and moderating discussion. Some articles that are under attack are Prairie Giant, Saskatchewan Party , Weyburn-Big Muddy and Saskatchewan New Democratic Party, and if you'd be so kind as to help moderate, that would be rad cool.
Thanks, Schnits
NDP articles are not 'victims of vandalism', and it is completely innappropriate of you to request that User:Bearcat perform reverts on articles for which he is in a direct conflict of interest per the Wikipedia:Conflict of interest policy without making the appropriate disclosures and abiding by appropriate Wikipedia rules.
Thank you

Would you mind taking a gander at the recent edit by 82.152.204.174 ( talk • contribs), please? I don't think it's appropriate to that article (I'd think that matter would be more appropriate to the Green Party of Canada article), but I'm too POV on this subject to fairly judge it.

From a strictly quality-of-Wikipedia perspective, I wouldn't say I think you've gone overboard. From a personal perspective, I'm more concerned that you might end up driving yourself nuts in this situation. On a few occasions I've forced myself to step away from unresolved disputes on here, if only to preserve my own mental health because I was starting to let the dispute drive me crazier than was really necessary. To be fair to GD, some of his edits are really more divergent style preferences than NPOV issues per se; the problem is that he makes them at the same time as the more problematic edits, and then reverts wholesale, so it's very difficult to separate the two types of edits effectively. So as regard policy, I think you're doing fine — although personally I couldn't and wouldn't fault you if you felt the need to step away from it once in a while for your own sanity's sake. Bearcat 21:57, 6 July 2006 (UTC)

OK, I'll get you the reference. Wait a sec. Deet 00:37, 17 July 2006 (UTC)
This wasn't the reference I was looking for but does it suffice?
Just read your comments. Read the National Post article and you will see that the Government has been full of it all along and they refuse even now to confirm it officially. The law today doesn't permit it.
CJ, in all the article, Kempling and Corren need to be there from my perspective, and I don't even care how they get written up, and I'm flexible on absolutely everything else. Leave it in there until the ministry confirms there is not religious freedom issue, then I'll happily take it out.
Due to your edits, the Kempling blurb to the unfamiliar will read like he pursued the LGBT material issue all the way to the Supreme Court. Please clarify the paragraph.
Why are you reverting all the edtis from 64.231.242.68, they appear to have added content with referenecs and reveting the vandalism from pm_shef,mwho has no business editing any articles involving the City of vaughan. He has been warned on many many occations about the fact that he is trying to use wiki to promote his and his fathers politcal agenda-- 64.228.214.13 00:53, 17 July 2006 (UTC)

I am familier with the Vaughan related debates on articles. I got involved to some degree many months ago, baiscly I was asked to provide some info on a person that I added to another article (unrelated to the City of Vaughan) I thought everything was settled that everyone involved be it Vaughanwatch, EyeOnVaughan, TheOnlyEdge, pm_shef etc was not going to make any further edits to Vaughan related articles. I would say this started again because pm_shef removed some content from Michael Di Biase's article. I see you edit lots of politcal articles, are you involved with any party or politicians? I am somewhat involved in politcs and in fact I have been asked to help out with one of the candidates in the Vaughan Municipal election even though I don't live in Vaughan. -- JohnnyCanuck 02:09, 17 July 2006 (UTC)

Is he trolling you or something? I noticed on the Volpe page, he reverted your edits, and never even mentioned it. I am suspicious of people with soapbox edits. Oh yeah, you are wanted at the RfAR. Pete Peters 04:08, 25 July 2006 (UTC)
He pissed me off when he rereverted me on the Moscoe entry, then made some arrogant comment. So I am looking at his past edits to make sure he is not on some political vandal or soapbox spree. Like my situation with the Kinsella page. Did I mention you are wanted on the RfAR. :) Pete Peters 04:20, 25 July 2006 (UTC)

Can you please see what is going on at the Gary Goodyear entry. I like to focus more on data and numbers than monitoring vanity content. I am not too sure what is acceptable, the editor Ace Ventura is fixated on promoting Gary Goodyear while reducing his opponent Janko Peric to mere stub. The editor is stuffing a lot of committee info into the entry, I am not too sure if this excessive or acceptable. I am not too sure if these committees are realy that notable, because every politician is on committees, and it saturates the entry with his committee involvement. I provided an external link that identifies his committee experience, I like to think that is sufficient. But you are lot more experienced than I on these bios of politicians. Pete Peters 14:28, 28 July 2006 (UTC)
My above statement is not that urgent. I think Ace has done an adequet job providing citations. So everything could be kosher. Pete Peters 22:15, 28 July 2006 (UTC)
Although i will make it no secret that i dislike Janko Peric with a passion if u look at the history of my edits on his page i have not only added info but uploaded a picture of him, so even though i may hate the guy i still have contributed to his page and not reduced it to a stub like what is claimed. Also, yes, every politician is on comittees, however not every politician chairs a committee and i have only added the committees he chairs and nothing else. :)-- Ace ventura 02:09, 2 August 2006 (UTC)

CJ, you and Gold Dragon have been at it so long that it's pretty impossible for anyone to sort out who's right here. I have, instead, compared your last two versions and tried to work out what sounds reasonable to me. I'm sorry that I don't have time to sort out the voluminous arguments on the tlak page. I have posted explanations there, and some questions that, if answered, would be the basis for adding some things back in. I hope that this helps. I am afraid the two of your will have to work it out between you otherwise.
An alternative would be to freeze the article (e.g., at my imposed compromise), and work out one issue at a time, make the change to which you agree, and then move on to the next issue. Best of luck. Ground Zero | t 23:06, 30 July 2006 (UTC)

I thought we would have this discussion here because i don;t wnat u to get the wrong impression that i am starting some sort of edit war. This news comment made national news Globe and Mailand did effect the national campagin. Throughout this article it talks about many other controversial comments he made with no links or anything to back it up i have provided 2 differnt links, and i fail to see why you get to decide if it is worthy of entry on his page, you even said if i am going to mention this i need to mention both sides which i have done. I mean no offense and thought by providing links it was not a problem. Also the 3RR rule only applies when u add nothing encyclopedic as i have provided links as proff of this comment and each time i have changed the article i added more substance to the article i don;t think that rule applies to this situation. Also i am curious how do you determine if this applies to me or you? look forward to your reply thanks-- Ace ventura 01:49, 2 August 2006 (UTC)
There are many David Millers, as you can see here. The original "David Miller" link led to some politician ( David R. Miller).
Ok. I tried to revert my edits, first by deleting the redirect from David Miller to David Miller (disambiguation). I then tried to move David R. Miller back to David Miller, since I want to preserve file history. But it said David Miller was already existing, so now I need administrative help. You're not by any chance an admin, are you??-- Ed 01:43, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

Since i haven;t heard back from u since i provided those links to local newspapers, i thought i would write u again. Since both of us can;t agree on this issue i thought i would suggest an entry of this page that is a neutralas can be and is pretty much taken from a local paper, here it is:
During the 2006 federal election Telegdi drew some criticism for using a racial epithet normally directed at blacks, which he says was a metaphor for the oppressed, while a student leader in 1974. He denies it was any type of slur however, he has apologized for using the term.
Since this made news all over the local region i think it should be added. Just because it may not have made a huge impact on national news does not mean that it didn;t have an imapact locally, and i think omitting this simply because it was not a major news story does a disservice to wikipedia.-- Ace ventura 01:36, 4 August 2006 (UTC)
I just ran across your latest edit to one of my local politicians while patrolling recent changes. I tend to be an impatient hit and run editor changing a bit here and there. I'm impressed by the amount of effort you put into his page. -- Brat32 05:11, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

Hey CJ, a reliable source tells me that you are the foremost authority on Canadian Politics. The Michael Ignatieff article has just been protected, but I was wondering if you would mind take a look at it in a couple of days? I am Australian and don't really know anything about the actual article content, I only became involved there due to a lot of trolling and apparent sockpuppeting. I was hoping that when the page is unprotected again, you might be able to look at the actual contents. There seems to be a lot of pro- v. anti-Ignatieff trolling going on there. And just so you know, regarding the complaint about comments being moved, I transferred a discussion about a personal attack which was made by one IP to another on the user's talk page, to the talk pages of the various users involved because it was unrelated to the article and it seemed it was being used to escalate problems there.

Noticed your previous removal of the category of public polcy analyst from Kimble Ainslie's article (can we say "vanity article" ladies and gentlemen?) and your more recent reinstatement of the Ontario politician category. The truth is Mr. Ainslie can legitimately claim to be a semi-widely published public policy analyst, whereas the claim that he is an "Ontario politician" is a significant stretch if one uses the litmus test of common sense. i.e. a defunct political party that never really got off the ground in the mid-1990s; no elected candidates; no impact or discernable support then or now. Makes the Freedom Party by comparison seem like a bona fide political dynasty. Ditto for the Rhino Party. Best regards. Barry Wells 22:09, 12 August 2006 (UTC)

But unlike Ms Sherban, Mr. Di Biase is already facing a challenger -- community activist Gino Ruffolo, whose wife is suing the city for wrongful dismissal. "

You're article on Jim Maddin needs work. It needs sourcing and should be toned down to become more balanced. I am trying to show in a balanced way why his policies failed and became unpopular, which resulted in the 4th place showing in his re-election bid. I also quote facts, hard numbers, about his attempts at both re-election and federal politics, and you are removing them. Is this due to a NPOV on your behalf? Not only this, but what you seem to be quoting as fact, about the Stonechild case, only went to an inquiry and has never been legally proven one way or the other. That is dangerous. -- DerekDD

Howdy, I noticed that you and I seem to post in one or two articles dealing with progressive issues in political science/sociology. There's currently a debate beginning in Boston Tea Party as to whether the article should include the category [13]. It meets definitions set in the articles Terrorism and Definition of terrorism, however, there are several self-proclaimed patriots who watch BTP who refuse to recognise the fact. The simple criteria for terrorism generally seem to be intimidation or destruction of property in order to change public policy or public opinion while a state of war has not yet been declared. Some users would rather use recent acts of terrorism as a yardstick, rather than using a firm definition, and hence lose their ability to discuss matters calmly. Would you be able to pop in to the Talk page and join in the discussion? Thanks much, samwaltz 05:45, 22 August 2006 (UTC)

Gordon was a political activist in Toronto for many years. He was initially active with the Cooperative Commonwealth Federation, which he joined in 1945 while still in his teenaged years.
He wrote in support of removing the Union Jack from the Flag of Canada in 1946, arguing that the removal of a British symbol would show Canada's maturity as a nation. [1] The following year, he endorsed the abolition of the Canadian Senate. [2] In 1949, he criticized the policies of the Dutch government in Indonesia. [3]
Gordon was chosen as the Ontario Cooperative Commonwealth Federation's candidate for Bellwoods in the 1951 provincial election, defeating former candidate Sid Midanik at a nomination meeting on October 24. He was a twenty-one year old university student at the time of the election. [4] He finished fourth against Progressive Conservative candidate John Yaremko.

Hi, I admit that that edit might be considered original research, in that it's not something I looked up, but rather heard it discussed in the office.

Hi. Since you are involved with this page, can you please offer an opinion on the following debate: Talk:Toronto_municipal_election,_2006#Candidate_websites
Wolfchild 20:29, 1 October 2006 (UTC)
Sure thing, I am enjoying reading the article and I appreciate all the effort you have put into it. Some of the points don't jive with my recollection, so I've been visiting the central reference library to look up the newspaper archives just to verify that the articles being referenced concur with Wikipedia. Atrian 23:07, 1 October 2006 (UTC)
I have added a couple of paragraphs at the head of the Mayor section. Basically I want to summarize the ups and downs of the previous three years. I think there are many good things to say about it, as he has initiated several foundational projects that will only bear fruit in the long term. This looks like there isn't much to show for the first term and a couple of reporters are more than willing to point this out, Barber calls him an underachiever, with which I disagree.
Nevertheless, what's the best way to capture this essence in 2-3 short paragraphs without being too POV? Maybe you can take a shot at it as well. Atrian 03:19, 3 October 2006 (UTC)

Hey, I've recently put myself up for the Editor Review process. With the (seeming) end of the Vaughan-gate mess, I've been back to normal editing for the last while and wanted some outside opinions as to what kind of job I'm doing; if I'm on the right track, if there's anything I can do to improve, etc. If you have some free time, I'd really appreciate it if you could take a look and leave me some feedback!

Hello. I see that you've created quite a few articles about municipal elections for various Canadian cities. I was wondering what you would think about merging articles about municipal elections in the same city for different years into larger articles (e.g., something along the lines of "History of municipal elections in (city)"). This would create fewer, more comprehensive articles, as opposed to a whole bunch of stubs. Just a thought, since, to me at least, each article on its own doesn't necessarily come across as noteworthy. The current proposal for notability guidelines for candidate and election articles (which, granted, is just a proposal) doesn't have a guideline for municipal elections - it only goes down to State Legislature. In any case, I'd be interested to hear your thoughts. Feel free to respond on my talk page. -- JaimeLesMaths 05:41, 21 October 2006 (UTC)

Hey CJ. I just wanted to let you know that I unprotected Talk:Michael Ignatieff and reprotected it in my name just to put a stop to the accusations of conflict of interest etc. I've tried semi-protection and I promise I will keep a close eye on it and if the vandalism starts up again, I'll fully protect it. Also, I blocked User:BarbWatts for personal attacks, trolling and general disruption. She repeatedly started Talk talk:Michael Ignatieff to accuse you of admin abuse and other rubbish. And when I looked at her "contributions," she had only one mainspace edit and that was to troll you at Liberal Party of Canada leadership convention, 2006. 8-| If I can help in anyway, please let me know.

Hi CJCurrie, I made a few edits to your Wilson Parasiuk contribution. I tried to keep as much of what you wrote as I could but I did add where you left off and took a few things out because they were incorrect. I hope I haven't broken any rules or conventions but I am Wilson's son and he wanted to have the information as true as possible. Michael Parasiuk
It is totally inappropriate of you to wheel war when an uninvolved admin responds to an AN/I thread expressing the view that someone has exhausted the community's patience. You are a friend of Homey's and not only on Wikipedia. You have helped him with the disruption; you've edited many of the same articles where the subjects ended up making legal complaints to the Foundation. You are directly involved in this situation. Please revert your unblock and have respect for the community's processes. SlimVirgin (talk) 20:59, 6 November 2006 (UTC)
Yes, CJCurrie, I understand your claim, but the conflict of interest guidelines still do apply. Jayjg (talk) 23:22, 6 November 2006 (UTC)
I recommend that you don't argue with Moshe. -- Deodar 23:43, 6 November 2006 (UTC) My responses:
There is no need to response to any accusations with regarsd to your unblock. If they had merits they would file an ArbCom case that would likely clear you. Its sort of a nasty emotional pile on right now that you need to pull back from. -- Deodar 00:04, 7 November 2006 (UTC)
I agree, and I don't believe that anyone apart from Jay has seriously suggested taking me to ArbComm since I posted my response. That he continues to pretend there's a "conflict of interest" here is unfortunate, but not entirely unexpected. CJCurrie 00:06, 7 November 2006 (UTC)
I'm done. I think it is a lost cause given the evidence. -- Deodar 00:31, 7 November 2006 (UTC)
I want to set the record straight about some statements I made concerning you, specifically "Homey and CJCurrie campaign for this Canadian political candidate Marcell Rodden", further implying you edited the article on Rodden as part of that campaign. Let me qualify what I have said with the following.
That Homey and CJCurrie have personal connections through university is certain (whether they are close friends is unknown to me). That Homey and Marcell Rodden have personal connections through activist groups is certain. That Marcell Rodden edits his own page is certain as he even states himself (of course that is a separate issue irrelevant to anything associated with Homey). That CJCurrie and Marcell Rodden even know each other is *not* certain. That CJCurrie and Homey have violated Wikipedia policy by editing the Marcell Rodden page as part of some political machine is an unsubstantiated overstatement that I wish to retract.
The above allegation I made was a side issue I brought up in the context of a discussion about long-term disruption caused by Homey leading to a community ban. I think the merits of a community ban for Homey based on all the other evidence regarding exhausting the community's patience with months of disruption are solid enough. However, I do not like that I made smearing comments, so to Homey and CJCurrie I apologize for any allegations I made which appear to me now to be false. -- MPerel ( talk | contrib) 21:42, 8 November 2006 (UTC)

Hey CJ, I know you've had your hands full with other dramas, but I just wanted to let you know that Ottawaman is using socks to avoid Pschemp's one week block for using sockpuppets to file that spurious RfC against me, to make repeated RFPP requests for unprotection of Michael Ignatieff and Liberal Party of Canada leadership convention, 2006. I just reprotected Michael Ignatieff because he got User:Shyam Bihari to unprotect it for him. One edit was made before I reprotected it so you might want to check it. Cheers, Sarah Ewart ( Talk) 17:41, 11 November 2006 (UTC)

CJCurrie, this is regarding your edit to Stephen Harper [your edit's URL: http://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Stephen_Harper&oldid=88529401] at 00:27, 18 November 2006. Part of your edit reverted my edit [my edit's URL: http://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Stephen_Harper&oldid=88378419] at 06:52, 17 November 2006. This should not be as my edit made the sentence agree with its citation. I can see including the original language, but not at the expense of misrepresenting the cited source. I will return the change from my edit and include the previous language as well (which you restored), but I will also include a citation needed tag for that statement. Please let me know if you disagree with this change. OBriain 01:19, 18 November 2006 (UTC)
I believe that my new edit [edit URL: http://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Stephen_Harper&oldid=88545734 at 02:11, 18 November 2006] best provides the appropriate information, a main article tag for the article to which you made reference. OBriain 02:21, 18 November 2006 (UTC)

Hello again CJCurrie, I just noticed that there is a POV COI note on the page. Anything I can do to clarify this situation? There doesn't seem to be anything added to the talk page.

Please revert yourself on RFCU/Case and undelete the HotR case page unless you have specific authorization from Mackensen or Essjay. Even if you do, it would be better to copy me, one of the other checkuser clerks, or a checkuser to actually perform the deletions.

You placed this in the article: "Others have also defended Tutu against this accusation [of antisemitism]. .... In the same period, Likud MK Yuval Steinitz described Tutu as one of the three most important freedom fighters of the twentieth century.[18]"
I am really confused by your position. You are upset when extrapolations are made in one direction, but feel fine making it in the opposite direction. This is a personal comment, and I apologize, but it seems to be something you might possibly consider when editing stuff on antisemitism. Elizmr 12:05, 4 December 2006 (UTC)

His appointment hasn't been made official yet, though he's already been seen hanging around the council building in Thorold with the St. Catharines delegation. St. Catharines officially decides on his future on the 20th.

You removed a cited contribution I had made to the Judy Marsales Article. We can discuss the wording if you like, but the fact that she voted against the public opinion of her constituents is releveant to her biography.

I noticed that you had become involved in the copyright dispute. What are your thoughts on the discussion thus far? When I viewed the image page I noticed there was an ongoing copyright dispute. At the time, I did a google search for the filename and found that it was copyright Herman Chung. I don't have a great deal of experience with this kind of dispute and I am open to discussing it with you here. I presently have two links that demonstrate a Herman Chung copyright, one of them is the current member page for Stephen Harper under the 39th Parliament link on the parl.gc.ca site.

What is the point of the mindless reverting? I am trying to add a source, and now can't because you won't stop changing the text.

Norman Finkelstein bases his credibility from his claim that his parents were concentration camp inmates. Based on what he has said about them and their supposed history, I don't believe that this is true. He claims it to be true, and I think it is appropriate to reflect that fact in the article concerning his biography. There is no independent verification of this claim.
I am restoring my edit.
I am happy to discuss this issue with you, but I would suggest that you follow Wikipedia's guidelines on civility before hacking away at another's contributions.

If I were to write a book claiming that the Apollo missions to the moon were a hoax and I also provided as part of my biography that my father worked at NASA, I think it would be legitimate to explore the source of that claim of a personal connection to NASA. Bad analogy. A book claiming the Apollo missions to the moon were a hoax would constitute a novel interpretation of a well-known event. There's no meaningful parallel to Finkelstein's assertion that his parents were Holocaust survivors, particularly given that he has never questioned the reality of the Holocaust. I'm going to repeat my request that you not add any qualifying text to the article, unless you have evidence from a *reliable source* that NF misrepresented his parents' history. CJCurrie 00:19, 27 December 2006 (UTC) I am not drawing an analogy between Apollo and the Holocaust, I am drawing an analogy between someone making a controversial claim while claiming special credentials -- in a hypothetical case involving Apollo -- and doing the same thing with respect to the Holocaust. The analogy is between one claiming a special connection via family who worked at NASA versus a special connection through parents who were Holocaust survivors.
Finkelstein has repeatedly emphasized his connection to the Holocaust via his parents while making very controversial and strong statements about core aspects of the Holocaust and the role of the Jewish community with respect to it. It seems to me perfectly legitimate to reflect the fact in the article that this special connection exists only through his own account. That is a fact, plain and simple. I suggest language like "According to Finkelstein's account of his family and background, his parents were..." That implies nothing but the fact that this information comes from Finkelstein himself. Why don't we compromise on that? It is much weaker than "claims" or "according to" and implies no doubt or deception.
I can find nothing in Wikipedia's guidelines, as I read them, against this proposed edit.
