I notice that you added to the Gallium article back in 2006 that F. Lecoq de Boisbaudran disputed the claim that he had named the element after himself (gallium < gallus < le coq) in an 1877 journal article. Do you have a reference to this article? A chemist at my institution is doing some research into this eytmology and this reference would be very useful. Thank you!

Note: I will respond to you here.

Looking for good administrator

How you doing? Are you in Canada? I need a good administrator, somebody neutral, i am having problem with arafat site, this confuised individual keeps on reverting arafat's page, link to jerusalem which is of importance, otherwise, it's incomplete biography, i will tell you much more later and i have other concerns, hopefully you know some other administrators, we can do something together, also, how to report bad administrators, how to kick them out?

http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Yasser_Arafat&diff=88678086&oldid=88675033 If you go under arafat history this guy keeps on reverting,so I want to know, am I right or wrong here, if I am wrong, then what is right? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.99.3.172 (talkcontribs)

Hi Montrealais, Please note that this user is continously violating concensus against adding this information, which he is citing from a source which is not reputable. He has vandalized my user page several times and one of his other IP's is currently blocked (64.107.3.104). Thanks, --Strothra 22:22, 18 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Note, I fully reject the above statement, i posted on his site not to do what he is doing, the above user is vandal, has 10 accounts and was blocked 10 times, be very careful, i always provide BEST POSSIBLE LINKS and if you look under links under arafat you will know he died in france and they issued death certificate, born in Jerusalem, strothra should not be allowed on wiki anymore. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.99.3.172 (talkcontribs)

What??? This has got to stop. You can see his block log here [1] --Strothra 22:34, 18 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Yasser_Arafat&diff=88693006&oldid=88691470 As you can see, information was correct, I simply added information about his death, correct death certificate and possibility of birth in Jerusalem, is that vandalism, or is that only a try to make wikipedia more accurate that never was or is nor will be>? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.99.3.246 (talkcontribs)

You have no idea how little I'm interested in this argument. Get dispute resolution if you like, but stop having your argument on my talk page. - Montréalais 04:31, 22 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
The argument was resolved once I requested the page to be protected as well as my userpage to stop his vandalism. I realize that it's annoying for you; my last edits to your talk page were simply to add the unsigned tag and to restore my comment which he edited. --Strothra 18:01, 22 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, so you are an administrator? Great help you are, no, nothing has been resolved.

You're welcome. I'm not a dispute resolver. - Montréalais 20:23, 22 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

So why are u administrator, you gave me some link as throwing an old bone to the dog to eat it, what good is that link if i cant find good administrator to look over arafat? DO u recommend some administrator?

Translation check request

I just wondered if you saw my /Talk_archive_8#Valiants_Memorial_photo request before you archived it. Canadiana 22:26, 18 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I did. I don't see anything wrong with your French, but I'm the wrong person to ask for perfection in written French. - Montréalais 00:18, 19 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. I'm not concerned about perfection. As long as there don't seem to be obvious errors, I'm happy. Canadiana 05:23, 19 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Montreal December 9 meeting

Hi there. I suggest December 9 for a new Wikipedian meeting. Thank you for specifying whether you can or not at this address. Thank you. --Liberlogos 18:47, 1 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Graphics Lab

I saw your name listed on Wikiproject Illustration or the list of graphic artists, and I thought I'd let you know that a Graphics Lab has been created on EN. Based on the highly successful French and German graphics labs, it seeks to better organise and coordinate our graphic design and photo-editing efforts. Up until now, there has been no common space on EN where users could ask for maps, charts and other SVG files to be created. What's more, the Graphics Lab has discussion boards, tips, tools and links; in sum, a good common workspace. Come help us out! The infrastucture is already in place, and now we need participants. :) --Zantastik talk 02:08, 12 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Article in need of cleanup - please assist if you can

DYK

Updated DYK query On December 13, 2006, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Women in the 39th Canadian Parliament, which you created. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the "Did you know?" talk page.

Keep up the great work Montrealais. Blnguyen (bananabucket) 07:28, 13 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Next meeting

Hi! You are invited to contribute to the determination of the next date for the Montreal wikipedian meetings at this address. I would also appreciate you giving me your email address and telephone number for faster contact with members when necessary (if you agree to provide them, do send this to my email address through Wikipedia). Finally, please tell me the best and fastest way to reach you: by email address, English-language Wikipedia talk page, French-language Wikipedia talk page, home phone, cellular phone, or other. Thanks! --Liberlogos 23:12, 13 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Invite

Hey, I saw your edit to Civil Unions in Austria, and wanted to invite you to join Wikipedia:WikiProject LGBT studies. We'd be delighted to have you aboard. Dev920 (Have a nice day!) 23:26, 30 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Sure I can't persuade you to join? I think you'd be a great asset to our WikiProject. Dev920 (Have a nice day!) 08:23, 27 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Oh come ON, you just added an article to our watchlist! Could you at least reply to my invitation? Dev920 (Have a nice day!) 19:18, 28 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I don't usually join things, but thank you for the invitation anyway. - Montréalais 03:01, 1 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

A request for assistance

Would you support the concept of moving the Earhart "myths" to a separate page or article? The reason for my suggesting this is that the main article should be an accurate and scholarly work while the speculation and conspiracy theories surrounding the disappearance of Amelia Earhart are interesting, they belong in a unique section. Most researchers, as you know, discount the many theories and speculation that has arisen in the years following her last flight. Go onto the Earhart discussion page and register your vote/comments...and a Happy New Year to you as well. Bzuk 02:50 3 January 2007 (UTC).

Hello, Montrealais. See my reason, for why this article should be deleted. PS- I was getting lonely, waiting for someone to discuss the issue with me. GoodDay 20:14, 6 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Image:1000-de-la-gauchetiere.jpg

Greetings: Can you furnish additional information on the building (city, date built, formal name of building, architect)? Please post it to the image page and let me know, l will add the info to Postmodern architecture. Nice image!

Thanks, Leonard G. 18:02, 7 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Visit 1000 de La Gauchetière, linked to in the image's page, and all will be revealed. - Montréalais 02:45, 8 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Same-sex marriage in Spain

Hi there. Checking through the history of the article Same-sex marriage in Spain I found out you were the user that initially created that article. I just thought you'd might like to know that it recently became a FA. :) Cheers Raystorm 16:33, 2 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned fair use image (Image:Qc-coat-thb.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:Qc-coat-thb.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable under fair use (see our fair use policy).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any fair use images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you.

Sharing of images

Hi. Please help. I've had some difficulty with uploading images taken by other photographers and posted on other websites.

In two different cases, I wrote to the photographer and copyright holder asking their permission, and they wrote back granting it. When I uploaded the images, I selected "The copyright holder gave me permission to use this work only in Wikipedia articles". In both cases, I pasted the photographer's name and the image URL into the space provided along with the text of their e-mail to me granting permission. In both cases, the images were deleted almost immediately.

What can I do differently that would allow me to post these images? Thank you, Peter 04:29, 19 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. Montrealais, there is a "intense discussion" (that's, obviously, an euphemism for "nasty war") about the Comunidad Valenciana name in English. Apparently, some Valencian autonomous office itself (the department for tourism) has occasionally translated as "Land of Valencia", I guess trying to avoid the non-sense "Community" may mean to English speakers not familiarized with the Spanish "Autonomous Communities" system. Some users (none of them English native speakers) are clinging to this translation for political reasons which this is not the place to introduce, at least right now. However, I have read some opinions by English native speakers despising that translation as clumsy, even "illiterate". As per these native speakers, apparently the right translation could be Community of Valencia, but I don't know. Do you have an opinion? Thanks. Mountolive | Talk 06:55, 1 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

p.s. probably "do you have an opinion"? is not the best question, as I heard somewhere that opinions are like asses: everyone's got one ;)
"Land of Valencia" sounds ridiculous. IMHO it should either be "Comunitat Valenciana" or "Valencian Community," preferably the latter. The title the article has now is about as good as we're likely to get. But you'll forgive me if I don't get involved in that particular nightmare of a debate. Believe me, if I ever move to Spain as I've been thinking of, I'm going to be keeping my fool mouth shut. - Montréalais 08:05, 1 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you, Montréalais. There is a voting going on now in [2] Based in your opinion and others, the matter seems to be close to a happy ending. I know you don't want to get much involved but you may be interested in having a quick look at the page and cast your vote there. Thanks again. Mountolive | Talk 18:46, 9 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
p.s. actually, don't bother, man: the situation is as fucked up as ever. Thanks anyway Mountolive | Talk 02:00, 10 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Oh God, I don't know who did it (please send me a sign if you were ;) but someone has made vandalizing one of the fine arts in the lead of this article. And what is even better: one of the usual Catalanists has gone after the superb vandalizing....and has fixed a TYPO!! hahahaha, nationalists are sometimes the cutest creatures on Earth....Go check it right now!! And give me a sign if... ;) ~~

WP on Iraq War WMD

Hi Montrealais. I noticed you were in at the start of this article on the lead up to the war, and I thought you might be able to help me. What I'm looking for is a record of the pre-March '03 Wikipedia discussions about reports of the governments' WMD claims. I'd just like to see how well NPOV was being applied by editors before the lack of WMDs became clear. So many articles have sprung up following the war that it's difficult to locate where the original discussions might have taken place. I'd appreciate it if you pointed me in the right direction. Thanks.--Shtove 21:16, 2 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, I didn't get involved in those discussions and I'm not sure where they might be found. - Montréalais 21:24, 2 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Oh. You're quick! Thanks.--Shtove 21:36, 2 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Image:Madrid-metro-map.png

Hi, I have nominated Image:Madrid-metro-map.png, an image you created, for delisting from Wikipedia:Featured pictures as the image is no longer used in an article. It formerly illustrated Madrid Metro but has been superseded by Image:Red de metro de Madrid.svg. Feel free to join the discussion at Wikipedia:Featured picture candidates/delist/Image:Madrid-metro-map.png. --KFP (talk | contribs) 22:47, 6 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Metro Bilbao

Hi, could you update your map of Bilbao Metro? Since January 20, 2007 the line 2 has two more stations, Abatxolo and Portugalete. Thanks and best regards, --Jcornelius 11:55, 22 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Micheline Montreuil

Hi Matthew. Following the recent events of the NDP, I wrote an article in French about Micheline Montreuil. I have produced a rough draft of an English translation. In my research, to my pleasant surprise, I noticed that you were Co-President of the LGBTT Commission of NPD-Québec and that, as such, you had issued an official comment on this choice of candidate.

I was already thinking of asking someone to review my draft for language. Since you are probably better informed than I about your Co-President and since I trust your language abilities, a quick review of yours of the draft would be an honour, if you have the time. I am wondering, for example, about the correct use of "transgender" and/or "transgendered". Add any appropriate fact you wish. If you wish to have credit when the article goes live, I can write it in the description of the first edit or anything else. Thanks! --Liberlogos 05:32, 6 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

P.S.: Why do I get the feeling you are not unrelated to the choice of a Montreal Metro picture on the Commission website?

Furthermore, the press release from the Commision [3] states that "If she is elected, she will be the third transgender MP in the world, after Georgina Beyer in New Zealand and Vladimir Luxuria in Italy", but I also see two other people that could possibly be considered: Aya Kamikawa and Shabnam Mausi. Mistake of the release or something else? --Liberlogos 06:00, 6 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for the question. I'll have a look at the draft but judging from your French article it ought to be fine. Aya Kamikawa is a city councillor and Shabnam Mausi is a member of a regional assembly, not national. - Montréalais 14:16, 6 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I have reviewed your draft and found no real problems with your discussion of trans issues; I've just made a few improvements in style and added a few links. - Montréalais 14:29, 6 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

image:Vladimir_Luxuria-Medium.jpg

So it was my mistake, delete it if you think you should. Thanks. 亮HH 14:46, 7 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

RecentChangesCamp Montreal / "RoCoCoCamp"

Hi! My name's Evan -- I'm a longtime Wikipedian and an adoptive Montrealer. I'm writing because I'm one of the organizers of the upcoming RoCoCoCamp event; 18-20 May 2007. RoCoCoCamp is the Montreal version of RecentChangesCamp, a BarCamp-style unconference centered around wiki technology, culture and communities. I've posted on the Quebec Wikipedians' notice board, but I'd like to make sure that you have a personal invitation to attend. Your long experience as a Wikipedian would be a great contribution to the event.

If you think you can attend, please sign up on the Participants list. I'm particularly proud that the local wiki community is able to organize this international event; I hope you can give us the support we need to make it a success. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me on my user page here, by email at evan@prodromou.name, or however else you'd like. --ESP 17:16, 23 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Image:Coat of arms of Nunavut.png, by Strangerer, another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Image:Coat of arms of Nunavut.png is an image page for a missing or corrupt image or an empty image description page for a Commons-hosted image.

To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting Image:Coat of arms of Nunavut.png, please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page, and put a note on its talk page. This bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion, it did not nominate Image:Coat of arms of Nunavut.png itself.

I was hoping one day there could be a featured topic about Canadian rapid transit. The idea came to me after working hard on the SkyTrain article (which is now an FAC). The metro article is good, but lacks inline citation. I knew your website was a good place to start looking for some reliable sources, but now that I see the webmaster on Wikipedia, I see it as a better place to start. Perhaps you can lend a hand in get the Metro article back up to GA quality? Sources are the only thing that's wrong with it. Thanks. — Selmo (talk) 22:46, 14 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Image:Ns-coat-thb.jpg

The image you uploaded at http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Image:Ns-coat-thb.jpg was seemingly taken from a site that should *not* have been distributing the Coat of Arms. The Coat of Arms has very restricted use and the copyright info/license supplied was also incorrect. The image needs to be deleted; a new image (from government, and being the actual coat of arms instead of the reproduction that was previously up) has been uploaded.

I didn't upload this image to Commons. - Montréalais 15:32, 23 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have perfomed a web search with the contents of Barcelona metro line 10, and it appears to be very similar to another wikipedia page: Barcelona Metro line 9. It is possible that you have accidentally duplicated contents, or made an error while creating the page— you might want to look at the pages and see if that is the case.

This message was placed automatically, and it is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article and it would be appreciated if you could drop a note on the maintainer's talk page. CorenSearchBot 03:14, 7 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I'm contacting you out of courtesy as you have contributed to the page and may wish to supply your own citations. If you feel this doesn't matter to you, please ignore it. This page was rated as a Good Article, but has been downgraded because nobody did the donkeywork of listing the attributions to the various statements provided, which is after all a fairly serious dereliction of duty in what's suppoed to be a historical record. Having discussed the withdrawal of GA with LuciferMorgan, I give notice that I am sitting down with the three classic original source texts (Puylaurens, Vaux-de-Cernay and de Tudèle - the last in the Livre de Poche edition as the Martin-Chabot is long out of print) to add the missing inline citations to this page. I do not intend at this point to make any textual alterations, but if comments are made which are NOT justified, be prepared to state your sources now.

Fair use rationale for Image:Pei-coat.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Pei-coat.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.

Thanks for uploading Image:Canadian-coins.jpg. You've indicated that the image is being used under a claim of fair use, but you have not provided an adequate explanation for why it meets Wikipedia's requirements for such images. In particular, for each page the image is used on, the image must have an explanation linking to that page which explains why it needs to be used on that page. Can you please check

  • That there is a non-free use rationale on the image's description page for each article the image is used in.
  • That every article it is used on is linked to from its description page.

A tag has been placed on Image:Ville-souterraine-1.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section I8 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is available as a bit-for-bit identical copy on the Wikimedia Commons under the same name, or all references to the image on Wikipedia have been updated to point to the title used at Commons.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on [[ Talk:Image:Ville-souterraine-1.jpg|the talk page]] explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that a copy be emailed to you. Sdrtirs (talk) 10:52, 2 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Demonym?

Hi, I'm doing a little research on the origin and usage of the nonstandard term 'demonym' which is widely used on Wikipedia. I see that you created the Demonym page five years ago. I'm trying to track down its first usage and was wondering where you first came across the word. Have you by any chance read Labels for Locals by Paul Dickson?

Maybe you can help me ?

Bonjour "Montrealais".

Je m'appelle Gabriel Moginot, je suis photographe de mode (professionnel) à Paris. Je suis désolé de vous déranger, mais j'ai un gros problème, et je fais une dernière tentative de le régler amicalement en vous contactant, avant de porter plainte lundi prochain contre la société Wikimédia. J'ai choisi de vous contacter car vous parlez francais, vous avez fait des études dans l'art, et vous soutenez les transexuels (j'ai contribuer à l'article d'Amanda Lepore, personne que j'aime beaucoup, l'illustration de son article est une partie de mon travail photo sur elle) Sachez que j'ai contacté les jours précedents : Mike Godwin (avocat pour Wikimedia je crois) et Cary Bass (personne qui se charge de régler les conflits, mais qui ne me répond pas). Je me dis que vous comprendrez peut être ma position, et que vous pourrez peut être agir, ou me diriger vers la personne qui saura agir.


J'ai créé il y a peu de temps un compte utilisateur "Gabriel Moginot" et j'ai contribué en illustrant et améliorant des articles sur la mode ou les célébrités. Les images que j'ai offert à Wiki Commons pour l'illustration sont un travail professionnel, considérées comme des oeuvres d'art (j'ai un statut d'artiste). Lors de mes contributions sur Wikipédia, j'ai donné une description de l'image en lien avec l'article, et j'ajoutais mon crédit de photographe, c'est à dire mon nom.


Sur wikipédia, il existe des textes pour expliquer comment afficher, aligner, définir la taille d'une image, etc. Mais rien n'existe pour dire si oui ou non un artiste peut signer son oeuvre (illustration j'entend). Je me suis fait rappeler à l'ordre sous prétexte d'auto-promotion, mais cherchant à expliquer que la notion professionnelle de mes images qui possèdent un droit d'auteur devrait m'autoriser à présenter mon nom (comme la signature d'un tableau par exemple), je me suis fait bloquer et censurer (j'ai posté des messages pour demander une réponse claire basée sur les règles d'utilisation de ce site (des textes écrits et non pas l'avis partagé de quelques personnes), mais ces questions ont été supprimées par certains adminitrateurs). Je me suis donc fait bloquer sur les Wikipédias anglais et francais.


J'ai créé un deuxième compte "Vogue Magazine - Style com" afin de me reconnecter, mais là encore on m'a bloqué sous pretexte que c'est un "faux-nez".


Mes images sont actuellement utilisées par Wikipédia de manière frauduleuse car j'ai le droit à afficher mon nom d'artiste sous ces illustrations (puisque aucun texte ne l'interdit), ce droit ma été refusé sans vrai jugement, car personne ne peux me montrer qu'une règle l'interdit. Je me suis fait traiter de "spammeur", ce qui est faux. Je ne compte même plus le nombre de censures, ainsi que la mauvaise foi à ne pas vouloir me donner une réponse claire basée sur des écrits.


Il s'agit d'une question de violation de droits d'auteur et de censure, je prend celà très au sérieux car il s'agit de défendre mon métier et le droit des artistes en général.


Je souhaite que : - Mes comptes et mon adresse IP soient débloqués, si je ne peux avoir qu'un seul compte, je veux bien que "Vogue Magazine - Style com" soit supprimé. - Qu'une règle autorise de manière internationale à afficher explicitement le crédit d'un artiste professionnel si il contribue à l'illustration d'un article.


Je suis tellement véxé et énervé de voir que même l'avocat de Wikimédia considère ça comme une dispute entre utilisateurs, que si rien ne change, je contacte mon avocat lundi prochain pour attaquer ce site et la société mère Wikimédia, vous pouvez me croire je vais faire du bruit.


Je n'ai rien contre vous (je parle de "vous" en tant que personne "Montrealais"), mais si nous pouvons éviter un bain de sang et rétablir les droits d'auteurs sur ce site, j'oublierais cette histoire. Dans le cas contraire, j'irais jusqu'au bout.


Vous pouvez me contacter ou me répondre directement à cet email : gabrielmoginot@mac.com


Je me connecte actuellement en dehors de chez moi car je ne peux plus agir sur Wikipédia depuis mon ordinateur personnel à cause des différents blocages.


Mille mercis, j'attends votre retour. Gabriel. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 193.251.17.167 (talk) 12:02, 23 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for trying to revert the anonymous vandalism to the Gideon v. Wainwright article. Unfortunately, you didn’t get it all. Rollback should have caught it all, so I don’t know what happened.

Place Ville-Marie

Hi there,

I see on your user page that you live in Montreal. I am going to assume that you have heard of Place Ville-Marie in asking you this question. The reports of the number of floors in Place Ville-Marie vary from 43 to 46. Do you, with your Montreal expertise, know the actual number of floors in this structure, or could you possibly visit this building to find out? Thanks,

A review to see if Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom meets Wikipedia:Good article criteria has started, and has been put on hold. Suggestions for improvement are at Talk:Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom/GA2, and are mainly to do with coverage and neutrality, and building the lead section. Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom is one of our most high profile and popular articles, attracting an average of over 11,000 readers every day.

André Bessette

Greetings! I noticed that you added Brother André to the Roman Catholic Saints category. I thought I would drop you a note before I did anything. I'm just not sure that this should be added yet, as he won't be canonized until October.

While I understand that all things being equal, he WILL become a Saint then, it is not yet done. The fact of the matter is that the Pope could have a heart attack, stroke or hit by a bus between now and then, and the next Pope could decide not to do it, or a myriad of other possibilities.

I'd just like to suggest that we hold off on adding this until it has happened.

I noticed you are a participant of the WikiProject Quebec.

The Outline of Quebec was created a few days ago and is under vigorous development. It fills a gap in Wikipedia's set of outlines. It is the 3rd outline to date about a Canadian province/territory.

Outlines form one of the subsystems of Wikipedia's contents navigation system. For more information on outlines, see Wikipedia:Outlines and Wikipedia:WikiProject Outlines.

The goals for the Outline of Quebec is to complete it to as high a standard of quality as possible, and to make it even better than the Outline of Saskatchewan and the Outline of British Columbia.

Once the Outline of Quebec is completed, it will provide an important example to others creating outlines for the remaining provinces and territories of Canada.

Please take a look at the outline to see if you can notice (and fill in) any missing topics. Pictures would also be nice (the rarer and the more interesting, the better).

Thank you.

Gallium etymology

I notice that you added to the Gallium article back in 2006 that F. Lecoq de Boisbaudran disputed the claim that he had named the element after himself (gallium < gallus < le coq) in an 1877 journal article. Do you have a reference to this article? A chemist at my institution is doing some research into this eytmology and this reference would be very useful. Thank you!
