"Before confederation" and "Confederation" parameters in prov/territorial infobox[edit]I was going to raise this at Template:Infobox province or territory of Canada's talk page, but figured it would get more eyes on the issue here. Basically, I noticed the usage of the "Before confederation" and "Confederation" parameters within the province/territories infobox is rather problematic and confusing in how they're used for some provinces/territories, specifically Alberta, Saskatchewan, Nunavut, and Yukon. While I can see that the "Confederation" parameter in these articles is being used to show the date when these administrative units were created, the infobox's current wording of just "Confederation", is something I can see uninitiated readers easily misconstruing as the date these areas were actually incorporated into Canada, rather than when these administrative unit were created. The "Before confederation" parameter and its use is also rather confusing in these articles (and some respects, just wrong). While I assume its current usage is intending to just show the preceding administrative unit, the wording "Before confederation" implies that the listed items there existed prior to Confederation/1867 (and if read in the way the wording implies, is just wrong, as these preceding administrative units were created well after Confederation). Basically wondering if these parameters should be retitled to better reflect their usage in these articles, or if a separate paramter should be created for these cases.

This here[1] is an example. For some reason ECCC (Environment Canada) has not released complete 1991-2020 data for certain locations so that's part of the problem here. This new added data at the very least should be reverted, but that would need to be done manually unfortunately. At best it could be added as a separate but incomplete climate chart, but that's a lot of work too and I don't know if ECCC has said if they even have and are going to release more data for these incomplete locations.

I feel like they would benefit from merger into a single article with a History section. Any thoughts? Kwkintegrator (talk) 04:20, 24 February 2024 (UTC)

I months ago noticed that the President of the Royal Society of Canada does not have a reliable Wiki page in any language, which doesn't make sense. Online users can look to tons of other spots, such as the RSC (https://rsc-src.ca/en/governance-programmes/board-directors/alain-gagnon), but not here! So I drafted and new-page posted something very careful in English (Draft:Alain-G. Gagnon), pending an update to the weak sourcing of the existing French (https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alain-G._Gagnon). Figured that would be a good first step. But given the backlog in new page approvals there is months later nothing reliable on this from us that's public-facing. This seems to me a Canada group priority, to the extent we can swing it. Happy for feedback on my drafted content, and would be even happier if someone with the editorial seniority can improve the draft so that I can get that reflected in French and we can clean up the Wiki profile on this one. Thnx for your attention to this, should you give it ;), and all the best... Edits2024 (talk) 18:34, 13 March 2024 (UTC) RfC at Monarchy of Canada[edit]There's an ongoing RfC at Talk:Monarchy of Canada that members of this project might want to contribute to. ₪ MIESIANIACAL 15:59, 15 March 2024 (UTC) Years in Canadian music[edit]An editor, Mr. C.C., has been revising 2024 in Canadian music to follow a variant format not consistent with any of the other "Years in Canadian music" articles — instead of using the "events" section primarily for things like the Juno and Polaris and Felix awards as all other years do, they've been greatly expanding the section by using it to double-list the release of every individual album that's already listed in the "albums set for release" section, and the deaths of individual musicians who are supposed to be listed in a separate "deaths" section rather than being listed as "events". I've already explained to them twice on their talk page that repeating the same things as both "events" and "albums" simultaneously just introduces unnecessary clutter to the page, and that they would need to gain a consensus for the 2024 article to do any differently than 2023 in Canadian music and 2022 in Canadian music and all of the others are doing — but they've continually revert-warred me to put it back the way they want it with a false claim that I'm the one acting against consensus. I also note that they've been temporarily editblocked at least once in the past for persistent revert-warring, and that they were formerly known as "Fishhead2100", an editor I remember well for doing something very similar at List of Canadian Broadcasting Corporation personalities, where they tried to convert it from a list of CBC employees (journalists, radio hosts, etc.) into a comprehensive list of every individual actor who had ever appeared in a scripted drama or comedy series on the CBC, which was also against consensus and made the list excessively long but had to be escalated after they revert-warred over that too. So, since I don't want this to turn into an ongoing revert war because WP:3RR is a thing, I wanted to ask if anybody else could review 2024 in Canadian music to determine if that user's insistence that it's their way or the highway is warranted or not.

Sockpuppet investigation[edit]I have opened a sockpuppet investigation at Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/His Highness Prince John of Newmarket to try to stop the knucklehead who has vandalized articles on York Region municipalities over the past couple of years under a variety of similar usernames.
