Is the street notable? A series of similar pages has been deleted.Xx236 (talk) 11:28, 19 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Not particularly. There might be some historical significance but not in the amount that would warrant a stand alone article. Alberni Street currently is not a major road in Vancouver. Mkdw^talk 22:59, 19 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Another editor has created two Vancouver locator maps to use in Vancouver-related infoboxes:

• 
  Vancouver (British Columbia)
• 
  Vancouver (British Columbia) Downtown

I encourage project members to replace less helpful maps with these more detailed ones. Thanks! ---Another Believer _(Talk) 23:14, 22 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Do you mean in replacement of maps like File:Stadtgliederung_Vancouver_2008.png? Some of the words on the above two maps (such as some street names) aren't even legible? If the only goal is to indicate neighbourhoods, then the 2008 map does a better job it. Mkdw^talk 23:29, 22 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I believe OP means that we can use those maps for location map templates to replace the less detailed maps like the ones on the Science World (Vancouver) article currently. _dk (talk) 00:35, 23 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I have been talking to the walls over at wp: WikiProject Ottawa since 2009, so hope to have better luck here, but without attracting the wrong elements :-)

Anyway, I have tried slowly putting in some sorely needed edits at Homelessness in Vancouver, but my edits, which are pretty benign (I think?), are being reverted by two editors. I know other editors are watching this happen, but no one will step out and say anything one way or the other.

Anyone here willing to tell me what is going on? Ottawahitech (talk) 15:47, 2 January 2017 (UTC)please ping me[reply]

Are your edits sourced and neutral? Have you discussed your edits on the article's talk page? Once your edits are clear to the other editors, you will likely have an easier time with them. However, if they are showing ownership of the article, you could request that they edit in a more cooperative way. Walter Görlitz (talk) 19:48, 2 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Ottawahitech: Based upon the edit history for World's Lamest Critic, you have both been involved across a number of other articles such as Amanda Filipacchi, Canine cancer detection, Bill 28 (British Columbia), and many other articles. I think you have an interaction issue here as it's clear your dispute is clearly with each other and not about the content. WP:ANI or WP:DR may be able to provide you recourse. Mkdw ^talk 23:19, 2 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I first encountered Ottawahitech when he commented on a Signpost report and subsequently changed the adjective "female" to "women" in Amanda Filipacchi's article based on an idiosyncratic belief that it is somehow derogatory. Of course I looked to see if he was doing this anywhere else and discovered several problematic edits. My attempts to discuss issues on his talk page have gone nowhere. I have no doubt that Ottawahitech has only the best intentions, but he seems to have difficulty working collaboratively. If he took Walter Gorlitz's advice of ensuring that his edits were sourced and neutral, and was willing to discuss them, I am sure we would have no problems.

@Mkdw: I don’t have an interaction issue neither with user: SportsMedGuy nor with User:World's Lamest Critic, they have an interaction issue with me. If you take the time(you are probably too busy?) you will see that in every single case you mentioned above, I contributed content to those articles, and they followed me and reverted my content contribution, not the other way around which you seem to be implying?...AND YES Homelessness in Vancouver IS a content issue, for me. Ottawahitech (talk) 12:19, 5 January 2017 (UTC)please ping me[reply]

You need to stop stalking me. You've posted 3 times on my talk page wanting me to identify myself, I reverted you once on the page in question now you claim it is a conspiracy? Leave me alone and stop harassing me honestly. I don't know you except to know you are pushing an agenda on Wikipedia. Now I am getting e-mails about you putting my name on random pages? SportsMedGuy (talk) 13:26, 5 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Ottawahitech: many editors revert your edits. If you feel that I have treated you unfairly, I apologise and encourage you to take it to WP:ANI as suggested above. World's Lamest Critic (talk) 15:36, 5 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• I don’t have an interaction issue neither with user: SportsMedGuy nor with User:World's Lamest Critic, they have an interaction issue with me.

  Literally means the same thing. The very word "interaction" means two way. No one was imparting blame. Why would I recommend DR or ANI as a means of recourse if I was implying you're to blame? So you can report yourself? Obviously there's a problem (not saying with whom) but whatever, whoever, it shouldn't be resolved here. Mkdw ^talk 18:23, 5 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Mkdw: No there is no problem, as long as others continue to take action on Homelessness in Vancouver and other related content. It looks like the problem HAS been resolved because of this posting on this wikiproj! Ottawahitech (talk) 19:58, 7 January 2017 (UTC)please ping me[reply]

Another one of my edits at Homelessness in Vancouver has now been reverted by User:SuperMarioWikiEditor. Help/suggestions would be appreciated. Ottawahitech (talk) 16:49, 19 January 2017 (UTC)please ping me[reply]

If you click Project page at the top of this page you will see a box that says: This WikiProject is believed to be semi-active , but one would not know it judging from the activity right now? Is there a way to get more editors here interested in building content? Ottawahitech (talk) 13:39, 6 January 2017 (UTC)please ping me[reply]
