		A ginger ale on me!
		Great work on all these articles about New Brunswick islands. Keep it up! :-) P.S. - I notice you use bare links in references sometimes, not a big deal really, but you might like Citer if you haven't come across it yet. Cheers, MediaKyle (talk) 16:10, 19 April 2025 (UTC)

Thanks, yeah right now I tend to use bare urls if it's "not likely contentious" and try to remember to spell it out a bit more if it seems like a contentious fact, etc. Been trying to keep things really tightly focused on just the immediate islands in Southwestern NB - [] is a list I made, but it's so many articles it'd drown out if I inserted them all into Template:New Brunswick Islands so I'm not sure what to do.

Hmm... Well the easiest solution would be to just use both navboxes on the applicable articles. There's no limit really to the amount of navboxes you can use, see for example Politics of Nova Scotia. If you wanted to go further with it, you could potentially make a separate article at Coastal islands of Charlotte County, New Brunswick, linking that article in the main Islands of New Brunswick template along with a shorter list of the "most important" islands in Charlotte County. That's what I came up with off the top of my head, if I think of anything else I'll let you know. MediaKyle (talk) 16:23, 19 April 2025 (UTC)

Hi there,

I noticed that you have inserted the statement that Gerrish was implicated with Nathan Frink in a smuggling operation. In my research prior to writing the Gerrish article I have never come across this claim. It can't find it in the Beacon article you cite. The other supporting reference, to a 2014 book by Paul Craven, doesn't give a page number. I would be interested in following up. Can you be more specific about the page number please?

For sure, I found it fascinating given his role definitely (I assume you are an NBer then, if not perhaps a GMer given personal interest in Gerrish!); I have the "Petty Justice" book on-hold right now so limited to previews and pdf excerpts at the moment but will definitely keep you updated and can provide a photo of the page (uploaded to imgbb since I can't put it on Commons). It has a lot about Nathan Frink so I'm hoping for more elucidation there since Vroom is the only source I've found referencing him as an MLA at the time and his "Glimpses of the Past" tend to be bulletproof fantastic sources so I'm hesitant to say he's wrong even though I can't find it specifically elsewhere yet. Meantime on the Gerrish smuggling charge, I believe it's Chapter 5 of Petty Justice, (https://www.degruyterbrill.com/document/doi/10.3138/9781442621770-009/pdf?licenseType=restricted but restricted), "Gerrish had been implicated along with James McMaster (Indian Island), Nathan Frink (Campobello), and others in a smuggling ring". Now "implicated" suggests it may've just been one of Owen's temper tantrums to the Court and Crown or similar - as Deer_Island_(New_Brunswick)#History_of_Smuggling shows in the 1886 portion, "The Canadian government seized twenty-two boats and fined the owners $2500 (equal to $85,000 in 2025) for "smuggling" their own boats.", the term has various meanings that were doubtless applied liberally to be leveraged just as "trafficking" is today.

Never mind, I've found it. A footnote on page 187. Looks like an interesting book.HazelAB (talk) 14:20, 20 April 2025 (U

Also, bottom of 137 at https://scispace.com/pdf/where-subjects-were-citizens-the-emergence-of-a-republican-toy4xwbzlf.pdf has a new teenaged Moses fact you might want to add to Gerrish's article assuming his father's name checks out. Fundy Isles Historian - J (talk) 14:23, 20 April 2025 (UTC)

Hi there, I've formatted the references to Siebert and the Dictionary of Canadian Biography and removed the external link to the DCB as it is cited in the article and linked in the references. HazelAB (talk) 12:32, 9 May 2025 (UTC)

Hello, I noticed you added an acerage of "6+3.7" to the area of Hospital_Island_(West_Isles) in [this revision], but the Infobox is expecting a number. I considered deleting it, but suspect you have a way to clarify whether that should be "9.7" or something else.

I noticed two definitions of the "feast" ^[1] dolor sit amet.</syntaxhighlight> which displays inline in the running text of the article as:

Lorem ipsum^[1] dolor sit amet.

and displays under References as:

1. ^ Download the Scanning Software - Windows and Mac". Ask a Question. Canon Inc. 2022. Retrieved 2022-04-02.

If you've already added one or more bare URLs to an article, there are tools available to expand them into full citations: try the Citer tool, or in the wikitext editor, try the reFill tool, and in the Visual Editor, the reference dialog can convert some bare urls into a full citation. Once again, thanks for adding references to articles. Jay8g [V•T•E] 02:49, 20 January 2026 (UTC)

Hi there,

I have edited the last paragraph of the article to correct a couple of issues that were introduced by your most recent edit, as well as an old spelling mistake.

1. It's Crellomima not cremollina. That spelling error has been there since the content was added in 2025.

2. It's Crellomima mehqisinpekonuta with a capital C because that is the correct form for scientific names. (See Binomial nomenclature).

3. I have restored the words "something reddish orange and animate that gets water squeezed out of it" which are the exact words in quotation marks in the TJ article, where Goodwin is quoted as saying that's what the species name "literally means". The identical wording also appears in the CBC news article, which I have added as a second citation. Since it's a quotation the wording should not be tweaked.

Also, I added a link to the clipping of the TJ article at Newspapers.com.

Best, HazelAB (talk) 12:47, 28 March 2026 (UTC)

This is not the hill you want to die on. I suggest you give it a rest. See WP:BRD -- MediaKyle (talk) 14:56, 18 April 2026 (UTC)

See BLPCRIME, I'm not sure your exact motivation and I've already said somebody like Pitt you could potentially make a good argument if he is now paroled/released/whatever that BLP might apply, but you're recklessly removing sourced notable information about more than a dozen people like Michael Wayne McGray who is a convicted serial killer with a long established article with many editors spread over years, that you dismiss as "not notable".
