Hello Al guy and welcome to Wikipedia! Hope you like it here, and stick around.
Here are some tips to help you get started:
Good luck!
Good article re. Anderdonk. I recently read Pierre Berton's "The Last Spike"? Did you get most of your facts from there? I also had the good fortune to work for the CPR on a maintenance crew in 1988, and I worked over Craigellachie. BTW two questions: 1) do you know the OTHER last spike picture? Major A.B. Rogers is the man holding the spike-pull and I don't think he's visible in the posted picture, but he is, I've heard, visible in the other less famous one taken one or two minutes before. and 2) Does ANYONE know what "A.B." stands for? If Berton knew, he never wrote. It's one of those details of which no record seems left. Cheers, Vincent 05:36, 8 Sep 2004 (UTC)
I noticed your question to Decumanus. U.S. and Canadian rivers usually use the form, X River (state/province). Some other countries do not but use X River, place. In the U.S. we have to worry about diambiguating towns like Indian River, Michigan from the Indian River in Michigan. see also Wikipedia:WikiProject Rivers Rmhermen 19:13, Dec 10, 2004 (UTC)
Hi, I've posted a reply to your comment at Talk:Canadian Pacific Railway. Thanks for creating the map! JYolkowski 15:28, 12 Dec 2004 (UTC)
A lot of the new subtags were just created, hence the new addition. As for external links, the links should be lowercase. Spinboy 02:01, 16 Dec 2004 (UTC)
Thank you for reverting the vandalism to my user page. I really appreciate it. :-) -- Spinboy 07:09, 24 Feb 2005 (UTC)
Hi Al, since we have a common interest in railways and the history of the Canadian west, I've naturally noticed that you have significant expertise in creating maps. I have been working hard on establishing and upgrading the article for the CPR / Via Rail train The Canadian. The article would much enhanced with maps for both the historical CPR routing and the Via rail routing. And the VIA rail route map would do dual duty as the route map for the Super Continental... Would you have any interest in taking on these projects? Fawcett5 14:25, 4 Mar 2005 (UTC)
Hi Al, would you please take a peek at the controversy at Wikipedia:WikiProject Trains/Strategy, I would appreciate your feedback on this - I'll be willing to go with whatever consensus emerges there. Cheers Fawcett5 21:25, 21 Mar 2005 (UTC)
Hi, I just wanted to let you know about a handy new template I created.
{{Canadabio|ID=}} expands to:
*[http://www.biographi.ca/EN/ShowBio.asp?BioId={{{ID}}} Biography at the ''Canadian Dictionary of Biography Online'']
You can use it with subst: to avoid the small server hit associated with templates. Fawcett5 16:04, 6 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Hi Al, thanks very much for your vote of support on my recent RFA. It was good to your sig pop up again. Exams over now? Regards, Fawcett5 19:06, 7 Jun 2005 (UTC)
Perhpas you were mislead by your sources, but I'm still disappointed that you don't know where Canada's 6th largest city is! :-) Your map shows Edmonton being a couple hundred kilometers west of it true position, somewhere near Edson, Alberta. I wish we were that close to Jasper, going skiing would be quicker and cheaper. Winnipeg looks too far west too. It should be on the Red River just below Lake Winnipeg. -- Kevlar ( talk • contribs) 03:46, 25 November 2009 (UTC)
