User talk:Braffit

Hello! Welcome to Wikipedia, Braffit. Thank you for your fine work in 'Montreal, Quebec' and 'Brampton, Ontario'. Judging from the work you've done, it seems that your forte is in eastern Canada; you can find plenty of articles in need of fleshing out at 'List of communities in Ontario' and 'List of communities in Quebec'. You can find more articles in need in other fields at Wikipedia:Pages needing attention, if you wish.

You might find these links helpful in starting new articles or helping with existing ones: How to edit a page, How to write a great article, Naming conventions, Manual of Style. You should read our policies at some point too.

If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump, or ask me on my talk page.

If you made any edits before you got an account, you might be interested in assigning those to your username.

You can sign your name on talk pages using three tildes, like this: ~~~. If you use four, you can add a datestamp too.

If you ever think a page or image should be deleted, please list it at the votes for deletion page. There is also a votes for undeletion page if you want to retrieve something that you think should not have been deleted.

Thank you for your contributions; I hope you continue to help us.

Hi Braffit, good work you've been doing, just any reason you've changed the table at the bottom of Brampton, Ontario? -- user:zanimum

A very informative site. I merely upgraded the table at the bottom of the page to be a little closer to the quality of the site itself. Why is there no current photograph of Brampton, similar to what appears on the Toronto or Montreal pages? If you can even find a photo of city hall that would further add to the effectiveness of the page.

The table is based on a template, used on most, if not all of the Canadian city, town and village pages. If you'd like to have the table look that way, suggest it on the Talk:Canada. I will add pictures soon, but on Wikipedia, everything must be public domain, or fair use, which is a whole other story. -- user:zanimum

Re: Black Canadian, I have one comment and one question. The comment is that lists of people's names have to be alphabetized by last name, not first name, which is why I changed the order of the list yesterday. It's not just a Wikipedia thing, or my own personal preference -- it's standard format in any reference work to alphabetize a list by surname. The question is, why do you keep removing legitimate names such as Glenn Lewis and Maestro Fresh Wes? Bearcat 22:49, 13 Apr 2004 (UTC)

Hi, why did you change the references in Elijah McCoy from refering to him as "McCoy" to as "Elijah"? The last name is usually considered more the more proper and respectful way to do so. Unless there is some particular reason you can explain, I think this should be changed back. -- Infrogmation 21:52, 13 May 2004 (UTC)[reply]

This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail.
