A beer for you!

I saw the post on RfC and your reply. I liked your short and sweet response, and thought you could use a beer after dealing with that. GeogSage (⚔Chat?⚔) 04:44, 17 March 2025 (UTC) |
- @GeogSage, are you referring to the COVID one? TarnishedPathtalk 05:25, 17 March 2025 (UTC)
- Aye, although I'd imagine the Geography one probably calls for a beer as well. GeogSage (⚔Chat?⚔) 16:58, 17 March 2025 (UTC)

Re: Canadian residential schools
I am too far behind on the conversation on that talk page to catch up, but would be willing to offer my two cents if you want me to comment on something in particular. Because of the formatting of that whole discussion, I just don't know for certain what everyone is talking about. Thanks for working on that article! Best, ~ Pbritti (talk) 03:56, 3 April 2025 (UTC)
- All good. The editor has been trying to claim that I am in a one against many situation, that there are four editors for the addition of "and society" and only me against. Their numbers include you as one of the four when your last statement on it was that you didn't think it's necessary but that it's not a big deal for you. TarnishedPathtalk 04:07, 3 April 2025 (UTC)
- My approximate understanding of that phrase was that it was accurate and adequate either way, but the back and forth between you and Moxy makes me wonder if I should look into it more. Thanks for summarizing. ~ Pbritti (talk) 04:13, 3 April 2025 (UTC)
- Most of the back and forth between myself and moxy was a discussion about whether "white settler society" or "Euro-Canadian culture" was better, nothing to do with the addition of "and society" on the end of "Euro-Canadian culture". They made an edit which added that Canada was a settler society, to the prose and I'm happy with that as a compromise. The issue now is the other editor is continuing to push "and society" claiming that there 4 for it and 1 against when that is simply not the case. I'm not sure if they are misinterpreting what others write or if they're straight up gaslighting. TarnishedPathtalk 04:19, 3 April 2025 (UTC)

Hello. Can you please relist the RM? There was only one participant, some of us missed this one (it was only listed once, for the seven days. There are so many RM's on de-capping), and, most importantly, this topic may be covered by MOS:GEOCAPS. Please read GEOCAPS and see if you agree that it may (emphasize "may") cover these articles about named and defined places on Earth which have been uppercased since 2013 with no complaint. Thanks. Randy Kryn (talk) 15:23, 3 April 2025 (UTC)
- Since there are only two editors involved, the nominator Dicklyon and the supporter Cinderella157, will alert them to this request to see if they can argue, and are 100% sure, that MOS:GEOCAPS does not count. Thanks. Randy Kryn (talk) 15:29, 3 April 2025 (UTC)
- Sure, it applies. And it links more specific relevant advice such as Wikipedia:Naming conventions (geographic names)#Names of classes, which says "As usual, we look to sources to determine what is conventionally capitalized." That's what I did in proposing these moves, as with plates, terranes, triple junctions, and such. Dicklyon (talk) 15:35, 3 April 2025 (UTC)
- Hi @Randy Kryn, as @Dicklyon states above they referenced that the sources have inconsistent capitalisation and that therefore per WP:NCCAPS and MOS:CAPS we should not captialise. Wikipedia:Naming conventions (geographic names)#Names of classes supports this. TarnishedPathtalk 23:16, 3 April 2025 (UTC)
