Salut, P199. I appreciate the multiple thank yous. You've been hard at work on Canadian community articles that are contributing to the challenge. Well done.

I am probably done for a while. Getting articles going for all those designated places in NB and ON previously without articles has been a slog.

I have QC remaining in the sweep of Canada. May not get to them until after the next census, but I have a list if you wanted to tackle. I could give you the wikicode for all their census results as well if interested. Cheers,Hwy43 (talk)23:20, 12 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Hwy43: Much appreciated all your tireless efforts in contributing and updating the Canadian communities. Yes, sure, you can send me the data, but it will likely be a slow process (my rate of creating new articles is very low because I like to write a full article that requires more research). Regards, --P 1 9 9  ✉14:55, 13 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

So I was wrong. I wasn't done. I have created the following 41 articles for these designated places in Quebec.

Anything you could do to flesh these out further would be greatly appreciated.Hwy43 (talk)06:13, 19 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, could you comment atWP:HD#Relief on City Pushpin Maps? please? I believe it's related to some edits you reverted atSanto Domingo.Nyttend (talk)19:46, 29 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Nyttend: Thanks for pinging me. I will comment when I get a chance. --P 1 9 9  ✉19:59, 29 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
