Hey CambridgeBayWeather,

I added some convert templates to List of Canadian tornadoes and tornado outbreaks. The User:Suckerpunch that has undone both my edits and said No need to add conversion rates - Canada uses Metric system.In one of their edit summaries. Is this true for that article/list or should convert still be used?

Thanks Cheers - Kyle1278 (talk) 11:37, 23 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Suckerpunch I agree with Kyle1278-2 in that conversions should be provided, in this case, as per Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Dates and numbers#Unit conversions. Wikipedia is for a general audience and not just for people that understand metric. In some cases, such as {{Infobox settlement}}, the conversion is done automatically. I also noted in this edit that southwestern was capitalised. However, as per Wikipedia:Manual of Style#Compass points that should not be a capital.

Thank you for your quick answer. Cheers - Kyle1278 (talk) 12:32, 23 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Also worthy of note Kyle1278-2, not everyone in Canada is entirely fluent with metric... I know some people that really only use it for speeds, distances traveled by car (i.e. kilometers and kilometers per hour), and temperatures (there is a reason that grocery stores still list prices of meat in price per pound, as well as per kg). While I was born after metrification (is that the word?), I didn't really utilize it in every day use (beyond what is listed above) until I was in my mid 20s. Even now, I still have to flip back and forth between metric and imperial depending on who my audience is. I would probably use imperial more so if I didn't spend so much time working in Asia, where most people don't know it.--kelapstick^(bainuu) 22:16, 23 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

That is something I will definitely take note, thanks for mentioning that. Same here born after, but I still use a lot of imperial units for measurement. Being next to he largest uses of the imperial system has some effect. Thanks again! :D Cheers - Kyle1278 (talk) 13:49, 27 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hiya! I found your name on the History tab of the article Mayuto Correa. Can you please leave a message over at Wikipedia:Biographies_of_living_persons/Noticeboard#Mayuto_Correa? Thanks in advance, (((The Quixotic Potato))) (talk) 21:05, 26 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks again, good work! (((The Quixotic Potato))) (talk) 21:10, 27 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

What a day for Cambridge Bay! Are the relevant pages all up to your standards? Do let me know if there are any you want me to have a look at. Carbon Caryatid (talk) 21:11, 1 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks Carbon Caryatid. All going fine here, how about with you? I need to take a run over to the river and see if I can get some updated pictures of Maud (ship). See here. Cheers. CambridgeBayWeather, Uqaqtuq (talk), Sunasuttuq 21:36, 1 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I made a few improvements to Maud. (When I hear the name, I still think of the completely unrelated Tennyson poem, and the delicious criticism that the title had "one vowel too many". ) It strikes me that Wikipedia is weak on expeditions, historic ones at any rate. I had thought they would be well-covered: systemic bias working in their favour, but apparently not. Have you any thoughts on this? And are you involved with the Ultima Thule project you told me about? Carbon Caryatid (talk) 11:06, 2 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. No I'm not involved with it. Still trying to research stuff for the expedition but without access to a decent library it's hard. CambridgeBayWeather, Uqaqtuq (talk), Sunasuttuq 01:05, 3 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

This is very cool! I wouldn't have known about this except that I am abusively stalking your talk page. Shock Brigade Harvester Boris (talk) 02:03, 3 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I got some pictures earlier but still have to see how they came out. Also go a picture of one of our new fire hydrants. CambridgeBayWeather, Uqaqtuq (talk), Sunasuttuq 03:10, 3 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Interesting that the first pic there is of a hydrant in Charlottesville, Virginia where I lived for seven years. Small world. Anyway, do you need special hydrants because of the climate? Shock Brigade Harvester Boris (talk) 03:31, 3 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not sure if there is anything special. They are laying an underground water line to have a utility system for the new Canadian High Arctic Research Station. Rumour has it that they are going to supply the new houses but I thought it would be for the station. Normally we get our water delivered by truck which is not something that could be practically done on a building that large. However, at this point they are beyond the houses and not going in the right direction for the station. They seem to be heading for the old water pump house. A friend of mine said that they have them in Resolute, Nunavut and when the RCMP house caught fire the hydrants were frozen.

The author of the name has been blocked, so I'm not able to ask him.Xx236 (talk) 09:07, 10 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Xx236. Wow, that took a while to figure out and involved going off Wikipedia to find it. It stands for the Commission for Environmental Cooperation who defined the ecozone and is used to differentiate them from ones designated by the World Wide Fund for Nature. See List of ecoregions in North America (CEC) and List of ecoregions (WWF). If you look at Category:Ecozones of Canada there are quite a few of them with (CEC). I checked the [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:WhatLinksHere/Commission_for_Environmental_Cooperation&limit=250 what links here for the Commission for Environmental Cooperation and found on four links with (CEC) in the name, one is the above list, two were redirects and only one, Mixed Wood Plains Ecozone (CEC), was a proper link. I have a few other things to do but later I will go through them and add something like "as defined by the Commission for Environmental Cooperation" to the first sentence.

Hello CambridgeBayWeather. A few weeks ago you moved Captain Asfandyar Bukhari Shaheed to Asfandyar Bukhari Shaheed. User AbdulQahaar, a relatively new author, meanwhile reverted that move. I must say that I concur with your move and tried to explain the reasoning behind this to AbdulQahaar at User talk:AbdulQahaar#Captain Asfandyar Bukhari Shaheed. I hope this can be solved without an edit war, so if you want to move the article to a title without the "Captain" in front of it and keep Captain Asfandyar Bukhari Shaheed as a redirect, you would have my backing for this as I think this would be in line with the article naming practice on Wikipedia. --Proofreader (talk) 21:23, 13 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Proofreader. Thanks. I did move it back and left them a short note. CambridgeBayWeather, Uqaqtuq (talk), Sunasuttuq 04:48, 14 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Thanx for uploading an image of the bridge, wikipedia really needed one! 24.108.58.49 (talk) 21:52, 15 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hello CBW. I hope that you are well This was posted on your userpage. I have moved it here so you would have a better chance to see it. Cheers. MarnetteD|Talk 22:06, 15 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I noticed that after deleting Francesca Hunt several months ago, you omitted to remove backlinks from lists etc where entries had been added for this non-notable person. Please note that this housekeeping task is mentioned in the admin instructions for the various deletion processes. If you normally do it but overlooked it on this occasion, please forgive my intrusion. Otherwise, I hope this is a helpful pointer. Keep up the good work! – Fayenatic London 12:06, 26 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Greetings! When you have the time, could you please have a look at Tigrinyas? As per the speculation template, the link-thrus which don't indicate that the individuals have Tigrinya parentage should be removed. Kind Regards-- Soupforone (talk) 15:24, 1 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
