I've added 20th and 21st-century Canadian double-bassists and keyboardists categories. I'm wondering if they were be better under the 20th and 21st-century Canadian bass guitarists and pianists categories. When I create those century Canadian drummer categories, we could put percussionists under it too.

09:21:00, 19 June 2017 review of submission by NeenKaler
Hi Bearcat,
Thank you for taking the time to review my first full submission. Apologies for it not being up to scratch - I'm still learning :) I hope you can help with a few queries over why the Userbenchmark submission was declined.
Firstly, you made a comment that many of the sources linked were glancing name references. The ZDnet and Sapphire Nation articles (section 4 of this article is dedicated to UserBenchmark - so not such a small reference) specifically and with reasonable depth, illustrate to me that professional PC users recommend Userbenchmark. I would like to understand better why this doesn't indicate notoriety.
Secondly, I can see that there are many more online software reviews of Userbenchmark, similar to Softpedia e.g. http://userbenchmark.findmysoft.com/. Would you reccommend that I add more of these?
And lastly, personally, I use and love this website and was surprised that there was no Wiki article on the topic yet. I know that a large proportion of the PC Master Race Reddit community also use and write about this site on Reddit. And I'm not alone if the Alexa website rankings are anything to go by: http://www.alexa.com/siteinfo/userbenchmark.com where Userbenchmark is currently ranked at 4716th globally and 2624th in the US. I was wondering if you recommended any way to incorporate this info into the Wiki article?
Once again, thanks for your time. And I look forward to hearing from you.

Hi Bearcat, While I don't think you created this article, I did see where you made a major contribution,so I wanted to let you know.
Deletion of Matt Flynn
Hi Bearcat! I recently requested and was going to make a page for Matt Flynn but just found out that his page was deleted today. He is currently running for Governor of Wisconsin: http://forwardwithflynn.com/ and polling at #1: http://www.jsonline.com/story/news/investigations/daniel-bice/2017/08/08/bice-judge-david-borowski-weighs-possible-challenge-u-s-rep-gwen-moore/514977001/ . Please advise! Thank you!!!
But two other Wisconsin chairs also have pages even though they haven't been in office as well. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Martha_Laning https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mike_Tate
Canadian TV viewership/ratings
Hi there. I was wondering if you know of any sites that will have Canadian TV viewership/ratings, specifically for Bad Blood (miniseries) now that it’s ended. Regards, Vaselineeeeeeee★★★ 14:15, 27 October 2017 (UTC)
- Hi again. I found this from National Post about the viewership for Bad Blood in "week 1" and "week 2". They say it got 209,000 views in its first week, "however, saw the premiere receive a 31 per cent lift in total audience once ratings gathered over a seven day period were added." (~274,000). Which is the figure to include? Regards, Vaselineeeeeeee★★★ 03:35, 5 November 2017 (UTC)

This article.
Hi, Bearcat,
I saw that you took this article to this AfD after repeated recreation and finally salted the title, it seems the guy just gamed the system and recreated it here Kabir Tanimu Turaki (SAN). The guy is notable per GNG and POLITICIAN but the promotional tone may make it require fundamental rewrite. You may take look at it — Ammarpad (talk) 17:55, 5 November 2017 (UTC)
New Mayor of Sherbrooke article
Bonjour Bearcat, could you create a new article about new mayor for yesterday's Quebec municipal elections. The following new mayor have been elected, first could you create the article titled Steve Lussier. Steve was elected as the new mayor of Sherbrooke, Quebec defeating Bernard Sévigny. And that is all, these are new respective mayor to be created. Steve Lussier for mayor of Sherbrooke, Quebec. These propose title to be created as an article. I hope the new mayor of Sherbrooke article will be created. I will look forward to your reply. Thanks and have a great day. 2001:569:7C0B:6100:B123:828C:E4C3:5B9E (talk) 06:37, 6 November 2017 (UTC)
Missing New Quebec Mayors as new articles
Hello again, I almost forgot in addition to creating Steve Lussier article, could you create some articles about new Quebec mayors. I almost forgot about the new Quebec mayors. First could you create Doreen Assaad article. She is elected as the new mayor and the first female mayor of Brossard, Quebec defeating Paul Leduc. Second, the new mayor of Longueuil is too close to call between Sylvie Parent and Josée Latendresse. Whoever is the winner as mayor of Longueuil. Whoever wins mayor of Longueuil will be created as an article as soon as declared the winner. Thanks for your understanding. Talk to you later. 2001:569:7C0B:6100:B123:828C:E4C3:5B9E (talk) 07:46, 6 November 2017 (UTC)

Canadian Parliament bios
Hi Bearcat, not sure if you seen this or not, but the Parliament of Canada bios that appear in pretty much every MP and former MP article are now coming up as page moved. This is the first time I noticed, so it must have been recently. Can you take a look at this? Would a new template have to be made in order to fix them, or would we have to search for the new url? I didn't want to go ahead and try to fix them without asking, incase I did something wrong and ended up causing more problems. Thanks. Cmr08 (talk) 07:40, 11 November 2017 (UTC)

Hello! I'm fairly new to Wikipedia, so the article was nominated before I could complete all my sources. I've added them. How do we go about getting the proposal to delete removed? Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Herr.geschichte (talk • contribs) 02:53, 14 November 2017 (UTC)

AfD
You can give the usual description of the AfD process, I was referring to reality. Too many AfD's depend on minimal input. One strong voice can sway a discussion when there is only one or two comments total. Much less one powerful voice swaying a legitimate argument, but too few of these are decided on merit. Most are barely noticed. JPL has taken advantage of that void, by being the one strong comment across a swath of AfDs. It looks like he makes a negative pass through closing AfDs almost daily. What I do, finding sources, improving badly written articles, rescuing relevant content, takes considerably more work. And I don't have the time to even watch what content is potentially vulnerable, much less have the editing time to do this. So his technique, mindlessly removes content at a rate of probably more than 100 to 1. I can't count how often I've come late to a discussion to see his one loud vote swayed the gullible closer. I have no idea of the nature of what was deleted, I'm not an administrator, so to me, that content is lost forever. The fact that I even bothered to look for the AfD likely means the original subject was valid. That would describe a level playing field. The fact that he would deliberately vandalize the article before his strong delete vote brings into question his ethics in all of those determinative votes.

GENDERID et al
Hi, in light of your explanations about how to interpret current guidelines, do you have any thoughts on whether we should push for further changes to the guidelines? I was hoping that the sorts of questions that come up repeatedly in popular articles about genderqueer and transgender people would be addressed by pointing to TRANS?, but maybe the essay is not sufficient. --Fæ (talk) 10:17, 15 November 2017 (UTC)

NPOL
Hey, I hope I haven't come off as too combative in the AfD. I've certainly seen you around the traps at AfD for years (I'm generally only there on Australian politics articles, but I would say around 90% of the time we've been on the same "side") and didn't mean to imply that you weren't familiar with the process. I'm not sure further discussion in the AfD itself is worthwhile (it seems clear neither of us will change our minds on this particular case), but I would certainly be interested if you're familiar with previous instances that correlate to the Dropulich case. As far as I am aware he is completely unique in Australian political history (bar one other case where GNG is well and truly passed in any event) and I don't know any international cases off the top of my head, but you are more likely to than I am! Frickeg (talk) 04:38, 18 November 2017 (UTC)
- Fair enough. I think there's plenty for a standalone article but respect your position too. It seems to me that this aspect of NPOL could do with some clarification, since there are so few cases involved it's hard for either side to point to "ongoing consensus" (especially with differing systems internationally). Without seeing the specific circumstances I couldn't comment with any certainty on the Canadian situation, of course, but from what you say I think that case would probably work very differently in an Australian context, where for most legislatures someone's term begins the day they are elected (the Senate, as we are seeing here, is obviously a different story) so he would have held the office even if he wasn't seated - clearly it works differently in Canada.

Category:People from Windsor, Ontario by occupation for speedy renaming
Hi Bearcat, Did you know there is a new category is titled Category:People from Windsor, Ontario by occupation. The category is going to speedy rename to Category:People from Windsor, Ontario, by occupation to make it an extra comma it was setup by User:HandsomeFella. The following categories are about to be speedy renamed with an extra comma: Category:People from Victoria, British Columbia, by occupation, Category:People from London, Ontario, by occupation, Category:People from Hamilton, Ontario, by occupation and Category:People from Halifax, Nova Scotia, by occupation. I already oppose speedy rename. So could you review the Canadian locations by occupation categories for Victoria, London, Hamilton and Halifax. And if you can oppose rename, that would be great. Here is the link: WP:Categories_for_discussion/Speedy#Current_nominations While you're in the speedy page. Review the Canadian locations by occupation categories. If you can "oppose" speedy rename and talk to User:HandsomeFella on do you want to add an extra comma. I hop you can participate in the speedy renaming discussion. I will see you at the CFD speedy page. 2001:569:74EF:BD00:C5DB:BC3E:974F:E670 (talk) 03:03, 19 November 2017 (UTC)
Links to other wikis
Hi! About the links to the French wikipedia I had on the Claudine Chatel bio. I thought it was better to have a useful link to the French wikipedia (noted with {{fr icon}}) than to have a redlink. Are you aware of any policy or guidelines about inline links to sister projects? (I occasionally see links to wiktionary, etc.) Do you think I should put such links in a See also section? Always appreciative of a second opinion. BTW, thanks for adding categories! I've tried using Hotcat but still have to guess at what categories are out there. – Reidgreg (talk) 14:25, 20 November 2017 (UTC)
- Actually, Reidgreg, the best way to link to a foreign wiki is using {{ill}}. The syntax is
{{ill|<name>|<language code>|<name in foreign language if different>}}
. So if we want to link to Les Berger it would be{{Les Berger|fr}}

Poutine page protection
@Bearcat: Maybe you should extend protection for the poutine page until the RfC ends (in about 30 days), just in case someone decides to edit the page to their own voting preference before the RfC voting finishes? -- EzekielT Talk 20:01, 25 November 2017 (UTC)

- It's in the RS. But didn't you see my message on the talkpage of WikiProject LGBT Studies? I wanted to expand it with other editors, yes. Nominating it for deletion is counter-productive and discouraging.Zigzig20s (talk) 22:12, 25 November 2017 (UTC)
- Yes, the dead guy is mentioned in the "personal life" section. Didn't you read the article?Zigzig20s (talk) 22:13, 25 November 2017 (UTC)
- Oh, right. Why would it have to be redacted? It's covered in many RS. I don't think it's a BLP violation; it's a fact. A BLP violation would include the allegations against him, which are not in the article (although they do appear in the LA Times for example). If anything, the article makes it clear that the allegations were relegated by fake news websites (possibly due to homophobia).Zigzig20s (talk) 22:19, 25 November 2017 (UTC)

Marie Plourde article
Hello,
I've drafted a new version of the recently deleted Marie Plourde article that I believe asserts the subject's notability. It's currently posted on my sandbox page -- the first time, incidentally, that I've ever made use of this feature.
I know we had a conversation on this point a short time ago, the essence of which was that I wouldn't need to seek your permission (or anyone else's) before re-creating a deleted article under these circumstances. That being said, I'd appreciate your 'yea' or 'nay' on this version in advance of putting on the mainspace. CJCurrie (talk) 08:54, 28 November 2017 (UTC)
PEI legislature districts
Just letting ya know, some of the former districts (1996-2007) have been changed from 're-directs' to 'articles'. See Sherwood-Hillsborough for example. GoodDay (talk) 15:34, 28 November 2017 (UTC)
Assuming you're just going to keep fighting me on this, via edit warring. Here's the other districts that do use vacancies: Morell-Mermaid, Summerside-Wilmot, York-Oyster Bed, Belfast-Murray River, Charlottetown-Brighton, Georgetown-St. Peters, Kensington-Malpeque. If you're going to keep deleting at Charlottetown-Parkdale? then please make deletions at those other articles, per consistency. PS: I haven't checked to see how this is handled at other provinces districts. GoodDay (talk) 17:32, 28 November 2017 (UTC)
FWIW, now (for examples) Kensington-Malpeque & Georgetown-St. Peters give an appearance that 'no resignation' occurred, which is inaccurate. Same with a few others, you've deleted vacancies from. GoodDay (talk) 17:41, 28 November 2017 (UTC)

List of Women of Rock Oral History Project interviews
Regarding List of Women of Rock Oral History Project interviews, the non-refspam citations do show coverage of the subject of interviews, so I'd like to know what you think about my suggestion in that AFD discussion to remove the list, leave the prose, and link to http://www.womenofrock.org/videos (which is basically the same list offsite)? The prose and references that remain may be sufficient for a stand-alone article, and if not, it can be merged into the parent article on Women of Rock Oral History Project.
In the meantime, in an attempt at WP:OTHERSTUFF arguing, the author of that article found a similar one, which I regard as even worse and have nominated for deletion at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of most-followed Instagram accounts. ~Anachronist (talk) 23:20, 29 November 2017 (UTC)
