The
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Canada_NTS_Tile_System
explains what the NTS system is (for those not familar with it)

http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:boundary%3Daboriginal_lands
The
better solution would be to remove my edits, and drop them in slowly, the
source .osm files do need to be re-converted

http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Ibycus_Topo
Do people want this one removed? because its not directly related to OSM, it
probably should be removed, and simply available on some other website (it's
easily searchable)

http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Atlas_of_Canada
(its usefull stuff perhaps?) or maybe better on some other website?

http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/GeoNB
and its a start page for the data.  (the data is loaded or will be loaded to
koordinates.com for easy download)

Cheers,
Sam

I've removed the delete tag from these pages. Any more we want to keep?

Bonjour Grant and Frederik,
 
I understand that you are helping Sam in an osm-wiki housecleaning effort?
 
It seems that some of the pages you marked for deletion were actually 
created/edited by me to support the community with the content of the Canvec 
product...
 
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/CanVec
 
The following pages should not have been marked for deletion and I'd like to 
see them back to the wiki
 
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/CanVec:_Hydrography_(HD)
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/CanVec:_Administrative_boundaries_(LI)
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/CanVec:_Water_saturated_soils_(SS)
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/CanVec:_Toponymy_(TO)
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/CanVec:_Transportation_(TR)
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/CanVec:_Vegetation_(VE)
 
I did not have a look at those pages for a while but let me know if you think 
they should be cleaned for any reason. I'll do the job.
 
Regards,

Daniel Bégin

Hi all, 
(talk-ca list).

With thanks to Frederik & Grant, who have kindly flagged all of my wiki 
contribution pages for deletion, i have now fully backed-up all of these pages.

For some of the pages, they were accidentally flagged, which should be kept.
I put a note on each of these pages, as some of them might be kept.
Since others have made edits after i created the page, there is no reason to 
delete the work.
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/Acrosscanadatrails
I noted a few with
"This one is fine, Daniel from NRCan actually edited it. (should be kept)"

For the rest of them, it was mostly a 'housekeeping effort', as alot of the 
pages that i created (back in 2008) were relating to my (independent) Across 
Canada Trails project, where the material has no place on this OpenStreetMap 
wiki.  
I now have my own wikia website 
http://acrosscanadatrails.wikia.com/wiki/Across_Canada_Trails_Wiki
so all of the material that i requested to be removed will be found on this 
website instead (not right away, but eventually).

I have kept a copy of the pages on GoogleDocs in a private folder, as well as 
for some of the bigger pages, they are kept archived on mediafire.com
http://www.mediafire.com/acrosscanadatrails

The pages will be removed perminanly from the OpenStreetMap foundation servers, 
with 24 hours (or less or more if they decide to), but the actual information 
remains safe and now backed up elsewhere. 

Hopefully the wiki will be a bit cleaner now :)

Cheers,
Sam
