Welcome to Wikipedia, and thank you for your contributions. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, please note that there is a Manual of Style that should be followed to maintain a consistent, encyclopedic appearance. Deviating from this style, as you did in Toronto, disturbs uniformity among articles and may cause readability or accessibility problems. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. Per Wikipedia:WikiProject Canadian communities, only census information can be used. Thank you. Johnny Au (talk/contributions) 02:34, 26 March 2013 (UTC)
Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

The cleanup of the Allard article was discussed extensively at the AfD as well as on the talk page. If you want to restore this you must open a discussion. Please read WP:BOOSTER before continuing.
Your recent editing history at Peter A. Allard School of Law shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See BRD for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.
Being involved in an edit war can result in your being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

Hello. This message is being sent to inform you that there is currently a discussion involving you at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Edit warring regarding a possible violation of Wikipedia's policy on edit warring. Thank you. Jytdog (talk) 00:52, 13 November 2016 (UTC)
As I noted at the EWN, your account is a WP:SPA. Please read that, to see the community's experience with accounts like yours. Please also read WP:PROMO which is policy, and WP:ADVOCACY which fleshes that out. Jytdog (talk) 01:19, 13 November 2016 (UTC)
Hi, CanadaRed. I'm sure it's accidental, but you're only using a single equals sign (=) before and after talkpage headers (like this), which leaves a trail of badly-formatted talkpages, with over-large headers and misleading tables of contents. Please start using double equals signs (==), like I'm doing for this section. Bishonen | talk 21:19, 13 November 2016 (UTC).

Hey, would you please provide complete citations instead of BareURLs? See link above as to why they are bad.
I don't know if you are aware, but there is a very easy and fast way to do citations
You will notice that when you are in an edit window, that up at the top there is a toolbar. On the right, it says "Cite" and there is a little triangle next to it. If you click the triangle, another menu appears below. On the left side of the new menu bar, you will see "Templates". If you select (for example) "Cite web", you can fill in the "URL" field, and then if you click the little magnifying glass next to the field, the whole thing (or most of it) will auto-fill. If you click the calendar next to "access date" it will add today's date. Then you click the "insert" button at the bottom, and it will insert a ref like this (I changed the ref tags so it shows):
That takes about 10 seconds. As you can see there are templates for books, news, and journal articles, as well as websites, and each template has at least one field that you can use to autofill the rest.
The autofill isn't perfect and I usually have to manually fix some things before I click "insert" but it generally works great and saves a bunch of time, and provides a complete citation. Jytdog (talk) 13:00, 19 November 2016 (UTC)
