Skeezix, you recently changed the link in the ownership section of the infobox from Queen in Right of Canada to Government of Canada. I've put it back to the original version as the reason I linked the way I did was to avoid confusion over the term "government of Canada". As the article Government of Canada rightly states, "the word government is used to refer both to the whole set of institutions that govern the country, as well as the current political leadership." As the buildings on Parliament Hill are owned neither by a set of institutions, nor any political leadership, and do sit on what is known commonly as Crown land, it seemed most clear and accurate to state the owner of the parliament buildings is the federal Crown - a singularly definable entity. Perhaps there needs to be better explanation somewhere about what the term "Crown in Right of Canada" means, but changing terms to those that are more loosely defined and not really accurate doesn't seem to be the best answer. Do you agree? -- Miesianiacal ( talk) 17:37, 4 April 2009 (UTC)
I propose the following picture in order to illustrate the Hall of Honour in Centre Block:
Hello! This is a note to let the editors of this article know that File:Centre Block - Parliament Hill.jpg will be appearing as picture of the day on July 1, 2014. You can view and edit the POTD blurb at Template:POTD/2014-07-01. If this article needs any attention or maintenance, it would be preferable if that could be done before its appearance on the Main Page. Thanks! — Crisco 1492 ( talk) 00:19, 12 June 2014 (UTC)
User:Miesianiacal has twice deleted this image from the article.
The caption added to the photo read "an RCMP officer poses with a tourist, 1949".
The photo was taken by well-known Canadian photographer Chris Lund, and is contained within the collection of the Library and Archives Canada.
User:Miesianiacal's edit summary stated "serves no illustrative purpose not already served by more recent photos without the distraction of people in them".
However, Wikipedia's Image Use Policy states that "the purpose of an image is to increase readers' understanding of the article's subject matter, usually by directly depicting people, things, activities, and concepts described in the article."
Of the 17 images currently on this article about one of Canada's Parliament Buildings, not one image shows any people. How on earth can an article depicting a legislative building not show any people?
User:Miesianiacal has made 128 edits to this excellent article, and is this article's top editor, so this editor's pride is understandable. However, having at least one image showing a person enjoying the West Block will certainly enhance the article.
I welcome the input of other editors about including this photo. Thank you. Magnolia677 ( talk) 21:36, 22 December 2015 (UTC)
The nation's capital building and the lawn in front it serves peaceful protests, mass yoga sessions and numerous parties. For the love off the politeness in Canada please take the drama down a notch. There is something rather iconic of the shot but I won't cry if it doesn't make it into the article. Saffron Blaze ( talk) 03:38, 31 December 2015 (UTC)

As per these articles from the Canadian site, it should be added and noted that the center block and the parliament has been moved for at least 10 years out of the center block. I don't know what to edit. I also suppose that the page for the other building should be modified.
