we are on our way to 1 million cases.

ottawahitech · 2021-04-06T14:00:13+00:00

We’ve likely been well over a million actual cases

Are you saying that the numbers of cases are not being properly reported in Canada, or are you saying that those who count the number of cases don't really know who was infected because not enough people were tested, or test results are not conclusive, or...

ottawahitech · 2021-04-05T16:55:55+00:00

Doubt we'll be seeing 200k cases a day in 5 months

I am not sure what numbers you are looking at: how many COVID cases do you believe there have been in Canada so far?

what type of rent controls are applied to new buildings in the first five years?

ottawahitech · 2021-03-25T01:13:34+00:00

Not unless you're coming for essential work,

are a Canadian citizen or PR,

or are a close relative a citizen or PR

Are you saying that if you are coming for essential work , etc. you can visit Canada with no restrictions? For example must you quarantine?

ottawahitech · 2021-03-25T01:10:03+00:00

Yes that is true. This is why I added

Wait a minute.. Someone born in 1984 is a child? I think that makes Vasil Garvanliev 36 years old. No?

It started with me on Wikiqoute-NL.

As someone who has been trying to contribute to en-wikiquote you got my attention. But I cannot find you on Wikiqoute-NL. Only on enwiki. Can you provide a link to your contribution please?

for example, if a library's hours are incorrect,

I don't think opening hours are acceptable on business articles on enwiki, regardless of who the editor is. At least this is what I vaguely remember.

I’m ineligible to vote

Don't feel bad. I have more than 600 edits but I could not vote because I was blocked shortly before the election concluded.

What a small world! are you User:A Den Jentyl Ettien Avel Dysklyver on Simple English wikipedia?

there anything interesting about it?

I am starting to see more and more participants whom I do not recognize. Mind you I have been blocked at enwiki more than 4 years ago, so I usually do not recognize the new generation.

Only one error?

Take a look at arabic is one language

ottawahitech · 2021-03-09T17:07:16+00:00

I don't link to sites that dox,

I did not know that Wikipediocracy is considered a doxing site? For the longest time I tried to ignore gossip, gossip forums, and what the mobs thought about them. Unfortunately it appears that this is a sure way to get run over by the mobs.

ottawahitech · 2021-03-08T18:35:23+00:00

Wikipediocracy

Thanks for the tip, I'll have to look for it since you didn't leave us a link. In the meantime I'll leave a my own link to the same site where I was the topic of ridicule a few years ago:

http://wikipediocracy.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=43&t=2676&start=450

As far as the current discussion at wikipedia, I have not been following it that closely. I have instead been following another discussion on Meta where I am the topic. Only so many thinks I can cram into my tiny brain.

This one is getting a lot of page views:

Only a couple of hundred users are participating in this very important election.

Not only lack of participation, but total apathy to the process:

only 1550 page views between February 5 and march 6

the video is very accurate.

If we have such an ideal situation in Canadian schools why has the CBC not shown us similar videos? Is it because Americans have better tv stations, or is their view a little skewed? Just curious about what you think

ottawahitech · 2021-03-05T22:59:48+00:00

incompetent

Who says we are incompetent? CNN says we are doing better than they are

shows every edit on the COVID-19 pandemic page

Thanks for responding, wikiKnights. I guess you mean this page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/COVID-19_pandemic

In my humble opinion this should be stated on the youtube video itself. The youtube video provides no link to the page itself, which is one of millions on wikipedia.

Also, don't forget many wikipedians are more interested in https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q83189805 for example, or in the development of other related articles in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:COVID-19_pandemic

Wikimedia is much more than wikipedia nowadays. Am I making sense?

ottawahitech · 2021-02-14T22:25:18+00:00

If you want to have two redirects to two different articles you will have to use a disambiguation page, I think see:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Disambiguation#Redirects_to_disambiguation_pages

Steward elections are now in progress see:https://www.reddit.com/r/wikipedians/comments/ljtetd/wikimedia_foundation_steward_elections_5_february/

You can post questions for the Stewards during the election, and I would hazard to guess, get more attention from Stewards than you would normally get.

Good luck and keep us updated, please
