My user talk page policy: Discussion about a particular article should go on its talk page. Things for me can be sent by email (my email link works) or here. Unless you ask me to reply somewhere else, I will respond in the same place as the message I am responding to. I will reply here to comments left here. You won't get the nice caramel banner that there is a message for you but I will mention it in the edit summary and assume that you will watch my talk page. If I leave a comment on your talk page about something, I will watch for a reply there, in case you want to do this the same way.

Rex Weyler

Hi Ken; I have to recuse myself from editing this article considering my contre-temps with this guy, or rather with his article, at The Tyee, though I've ocntinued to edit the Sinixt article as much out of defiance to one E. Holmes as much as to ensure "truthiness" as is my usual wont with any article. I had a brief look over this bio and it's one of those personal-resume things like we saw with Bornmann....what's the appropriate template for "reads like a resume" or the like; can't use "unreferenced" as it's got references; but there's a lot of detail that can only be known personally (like his security clearance at Lockheed). If you don't want to handle this, who do you think within WPCanada is appropriate to take it to? Just the Notice Board secttion on "Requests for Comment"?Skookum1 (talk) 22:01, 4 August 2008 (UTC)

I have never proposed an article for "Needs Attention" in the Biography project, but will for this and see where the goes if anywhere. See also User talk:BlissfulGirl for a concern about the image. I have also added some comments on the article talk page for what it is worth. --KenWalker | Talk 02:53, 5 August 2008 (UTC)

I thank you, and hope not to indulge schadenfreude. There are a series of sucu bios throughout Wikipedia, though in relatively obscure cats. Robert Broughton, actually, is up for discussion but I happen to know the guy; was trying to think of what to say, except that I'd vetnure that he is notable, though not terribly organized ;-) (but brilliant, with the most amazingly resonant Virginian basso....great on radio; somebody who could have had a career in broadcasting - or academia - if he weren't so political. We'll see where that one goes, I've recuse myself there also (more or less); there's been a lot of good candidate history showing up in historical candidate and electoral articles lately, but they're being pretty good about COI and BFAQ. Likewise KootenayVolcano at the Sinixt article, whose work is thorough and very wiki-done-right, though all with an agenda of course; but admirable for a relatively POV tone, compared to other things I've run into....Anyway thanks again; more by email when I get a chance; really should do a newsletter one of these days....Skookum1 (talk) 03:39, 5 August 2008 (UTC)

Elk/Beaver Lake Regional Park and Elk Lake (British Columbia)

Hi Ken; I just threw this by Fishhead64 as his parish used to be in Greater Victoria, but thought maybe you might want to have a "go" at these; the second one is the target for Beaver Lake (British Columbia) (of which there are more; see the Elk Lake articles' talkpage), oen article only for Beaver and Elk Lake(s) obviously, unless we break it into two, which might be hard to justify (same body of water, different names for different parts of it). See similar section on User talk:Fishhead64 for certain content details. BTW this turns out to have some interesting files/resources on it....hopefully UBC and U.Vic have similar pages; tehre's some old UBC theses I know about which have great stuff on early BC ("old" as in 1930s/40s).Skookum1 (talk) 21:28, 25 August 2008 (UTC)

band govt as "municipal legal"

Hi Ken; thought I'd ask your opinion/input; easiest to refer you to the history file of First Nations government (Canada) re edits to the opening line.....Skookum1 (talk) 20:56, 5 September 2008 (UTC)

I agree. It is not a municipal government in a legal sense. Some might say it is like a municipal government, but that is not useful and, I gather, would be disputed by many so there does not seem to be any useful purpose in having it there. --KenWalker | Talk 08:21, 6 September 2008 (UTC)

Photo of four cardinal marks

Great phot, and I have added it to the article Cardinal mark. Springnuts (talk) 20:54, 26 September 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for the generous comment. The location, with all 4 marks, is unusual I think. It is only an hour from where I live. I intend to get a better photo of it sometime. In the meantime, I thought the existing image might be useful. --KenWalker | Talk 21:20, 26 September 2008 (UTC)

Good edit there -- wow that was some strange stuff added to the article. WP:BLP alarm bells sounded loud and long. I checked the editor's history and his/her previous edit was vandalism; might be worth keeping an eye out for this one. (If you choose to reply, please do so on my talk page - thanks!) 23skidoo (talk) 19:24, 1 October 2008 (UTC)
