It's the start of another new year; better call the newspaper up...

Dear Samaritan

- Dear Wiki contributors, admins & sysops. You have been mislead by Curps. Please see that article in question and decide for yourselves if deletion is a correct Wiki thing to do. I have decided not to pursue the re-naming of Curps's article 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake and through consultation with other helpful Wikis, I have decided to start a series of Asian Tsunami articles on my own ... there is freedom to initiate such a move right ? The articles in questions is proposed to drill deep in the subject in question. In Asian tsunami : The earthquake I have attempted to focus just on the earthquake that caused the Asian Tsunamis. In Asian tsunami : Time-line (currently vandalised by Curps), I have drilled down to the exact minutes to minutes account of the waves of deadly tsunamis. I will be added other article in the Asian tsunami series like the humanitarian aspects, current news & occurrences etc. because I think it is the right thing to do. kenkam 06:55, 10 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Canadian television stations

Kirjtc2 and I seem to have gotten into a bit of a spat about whether the article on Vancouver's CTV affiliate should be titled CIVT or BC CTV. My understanding was always that TV and radio station articles should always go at the call sign, and that there needs to be consistency; he believes that common naming should be the more important consideration. What's your take? (See Talk:CIVT.) Bearcat 05:06, 15 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Due South

Have I got a doozer for you...are you familiar with any convention under which Due South (1997) is considered a separate television series that was spun off from Due South (1994)? It's a new one on me, for sure. Bearcat 07:53, 16 Jan 2005 (UTC)

I've found proof that the post-97 episodes were billed as "Season 3" and "Season 4" when they originally aired; that's enough for me. I've killed the split and added a note to the article clarifying the matter. Oy gevalt. Bearcat 08:11, 16 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Neoconservat(iv)ism

It's certainly clear enough that Common Sense Revolution doesn't have enough content (and can't, really) to distinguish it from common sense conservative. Blue Tory, I'd need to read more. But if you want a good laugh, go to Neoconservativism (Canada) (as distinguished from Neoconservatism (Canada); be careful, as I already did the redirect), load up the page history and read the single anon contribution there. SIX MONTHS nobody caught this. Bearcat 05:48, 20 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Alternative Press

Hi! Thanks for cleaning up my entries. What you did with the Alternative Press Syndicate makes sense, and I will follow that form in the future for name changes. I'm not sure how much to add in terms of new headings for various defunct alternative news services. There were about ten. Maybe create a page just on Alternative news service (U.S.) ??? --Cberlet 15:29, 20 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Neoliberalism in Canada

Hello, I noticed your Neoconservatism (Canada) article and found it a welcome addition, but I wanted to ask you with what parameters do you seperate Neoconservative policies from Neoliberal policies in Canada? The two systems seem to share most economic beliefs such as increased free trade and reduced government spending. If Neoconservatism differs because of values including a much more self-interested, realist approach to international relations and a tendency towards social conservatism, would for example the governments of Chrétien and Martin be better mentioned in a seperate paragraph or article about Neoliberalism in Canada? This would assist in contrasting them with the policies of for example Harper and Klein. Thanks, Kurieeto 17:05, Jan 23, 2005 (UTC)
