Hi Floydian,
I see that you reverted a couple of my edits, with the explanation usually we take that to mean "no period unless there is multiple sentences in the caption".
But, with all due respect, a careful reading of WP:CAPFRAG will show that that is not the case. How? Please consider the following:
They are careful to give three examples.
The first ("The Conservatory during the festival") is not a sentence. So no period, because it's a fragment.
The second ("The stage was spotlit for the festival.") is a single sentence. Notice that it does get a period.
The third ("The Conservatory during the festival. The stage was spotlit for the occasion." is a mix of both types. The first part is not a sentence; it is a fragment. The second part is a sentence, but both parts get periods.
This third example is merely a way to illustrate what they meant when they said "If any complete sentence occurs in a caption, then all sentences, and any sentence fragments, in that caption should end with a period or full stop.
This is probably where you thought that only multiple sentences in captions get periods, but that's not the case. :)
If I have explained it sufficiently, can you please restore my edit?
Thank you. Have a nice day, and a happy new year! Sincerely, 1980fast ( talk) 07:45, 4 January 2021 (UTC)

Hello!
Apologies for the intrusion. I noticed that you swapped out the map on Ontario Highway 407 from an interactive one to an updated vector file. Since I'm assuming that this is the norm with 400-series highways, I wanted to ask if you were interested in making versions for Highways 412 and 418 if you weren't doing so already.

Its interesting that the point about geographical bias with Google came up in the 1st RM. I normally acknowledge this bias in my nominations (such as at Talk:Bellingham#Requested move 25 April 2020) but forgot this time. There was a RM in 2018 where I noted I got almost no results for a place in Scotland when Googling from England. Crouch, Swale ( talk) 21:39, 11 March 2021 (UTC)
