Additional input on how to describe the branches of government in Template:Politics of Canada would be appreciated at Template talk:Politics of Canada § King-in-Parliament and King-on-the-Bench.-- Trystan ( talk) 03:24, 21 March 2024 (UTC)
I need some help concerning the infobox at General Assembly of Nova Scotia (where I think I kinda butchered it & have since reverted) & other provincial general assemblies, with complicated histories. Who's sovereign in each provincial general assembly? The monarch, the lieutenant governor or both? Is there consistency among the provinces or none, on this matter? GoodDay ( talk) 14:58, 21 April 2024 (UTC) Maybe, those pages should be deleted as they're almost made up of the exact same info as their respective legislative assembly pages. Ontario's a re-direct, fwiw. For example - General Assembly of Prince Edward Island & Legislative Assembly of Prince Edward Island, are nearly identical. -- GoodDay ( talk) 15:03, 21 April 2024 (UTC)
@ Moxy: & @ Trystan:, I've added the "The King in Right of..." to the infoboxes of the general assemblies of British Columbia, Nova Scotia & Newfoundland and Labrador, to bring consistency among the nine existing pages. Are these additions correct? GoodDay ( talk) 16:13, 21 April 2024 (UTC)
Another question. Should we include or exclude the monarch into/from the infoboxes of the House of Commons of Canada, the Senate of Canada & the ten provincial & territorial legislative assemblies page? GoodDay ( talk) 20:24, 25 April 2024 (UTC)
Hi, an editor recently changed the IPA pronunciation for “Regina” on the article page. Could someone who is familiar with IPA take a look at it? The current pronunciation has been stable for quite some time, so I don’t know if the change is correct? (There have been previous edits by non-Canadians who think “that can’t be right!” Is it is. Really.) Mr Serjeant Buzfuz ( talk) 14:46, 10 May 2024 (UTC)
The Youtube channel for the Legislative Assembly of Ontario seems to have put most, if not all, of their videos under a compatible Creative Commons license. This includes all question periods and member statements. Just posting this here in case anyone wants to add images to Ontario MPP articles that don't have photos. I've already done a few. Cheers, ARandomName123 ( talk)Ping me! 18:32, 10 May 2024 (UTC)
Could you help to disambiguate the hundreds of links to Canadian electoral districts? It is sometimes unclear whether the federal or provincial district is the intended link and they now point to disambiguation pages. Examples include:
There are probably more on this list. It is almost always better, for the reader, to link to the specific article rather than the dab page, but if the dab page is the intended link then the guideline at WP:INTDAB should followed. Any help appreciated.— Rod talk 07:57, 11 May 2024 (UTC) Hi, I've started a discussion about the best way to name Wikipedia articles about old Canadian court cases. It's at Case Citations: Historic Canadian cases. It's not a full blown RfC. Would welcome comments. Mr Serjeant Buzfuz ( talk) 16:27, 11 May 2024 (UTC) Could somebody take a look at Draft:British North America Revolution of 1844? I have deep suspicions that it's an outright hoax, but want to get a second opinion before taking it to MFD. The article claims that there was an unsuccessful rebellion in 1844, which was covered up by the British and not declassified until 2014 — but firstly, there's absolutely no coverage of any such thing being "revealed" in 2014 at all, and I don't just mean it's absent from the article, I mean it's in a state of total failure to exist even after extensive checks of databases. But even more importantly, one of the only two sources cited in the article is a 2018 reprint of a book that was originally written in 1905 — or 113 years before this "event" was "declassified", so how could William B. Munro possibly have known about it? — and even more importantly, Munro's article actually features an offsite link to a complete readable copy of that very book, which I checked and rather unsurprisingly failed to find verification of anything this article says there either. So it's very likely bull droppings, but I'd like some other editors to take a look at it as well. Bearcat ( talk) 00:28, 14 May 2024 (UTC)
The article Allegations of Chinese interference in the 2019 and 2021 Canadian federal elections is part of this WikiProject and there is a move discussion there that may be of interest to those involved in this WikiProject. - Amigao ( talk) 18:02, 23 May 2024 (UTC) see these additions that I have removed a few times.... to no avail. Moxy🍁 23:01, 25 May 2024 (UTC) There are a couple DYKs set for Canada Day. If anyone has another they'd like to run for 1 July, nominate them soon! – Reidgreg ( talk) 01:33, 29 May 2024 (UTC)
Please go through the 2023 Canada-India diplomatic row article and review it. Many thanks. 2401:BA80:A383:2A81:8939:A2A6:F86D:94E8 ( talk) 01:29, 4 June 2024 (UTC)
Hey folks, the BC Wikiproject doesn't have much going on, but if there is interest I'm curious to get input on a more unified structure for articles about Provincial or National Parks. Feel free to check out this post on the Template talk:British Columbia parks. Cheers, Uninspired Username ( talk) 03:52, 6 June 2024 (UTC) Requested move at Talk:Mealy Mountains National Park Reserve#Requested move 1 June 2024![]() At Innu#Natuashish and Sheshatshiu, Newfoundland and Labrador it reads "...set up along the Inuit Coast in 1771,...". The capital C in coast would indicate that it was referring to a specific place. However, I suspect that this really is saying that it it's the coast of Labrador where Inuit live. Anyone know?

Eyes on this new article would be beneficial - there are concerns around its neutrality. Nikkimaria ( talk) 22:59, 17 June 2024 (UTC) There is a Catholic Pope and the Canadian House of Commons thread at RSN that may be of interest to editors here. Elinruby ( talk) 20:51, 18 June 2024 (UTC)
What do you mean by "being targeted"? Moxy🍁 11:26, 19 June 2024 (UTC)
It's not all anons, is the problem, although a lot of what I see at the Kamloops school page is IPs. I can ask for that page to be protected, and any others that people notice. The guy who ... I don't think I am allowed to describe what he did -- but the guy who just rewrote the gravesites article is currently at AE for doing the same thing at Hunter Biden's laptop so that might take care of that, maybe. I'll do an RfPP for the Kamloops school article right now though.
@ Moxy: Daniel Case just ec-protected the Kamloops residential school article, but that is far from the only problem in the topic. And there are editors with accounts actively working to add denialism in. In keeping with your feedback I will move the western standard question and the dorchester review question into their own sections, in order to break this into easier-to-grasp pieces. But all of this is about residential school denialism. Elinruby ( talk) 04:24, 20 June 2024 (UTC) @ Moxy: There is also a link to The Dorchester Review (again!) in the lede of the Kamloops residential school article. It needs to be deprecated imo, at least for this topic, but first it needs to be discussed, so I have added an item about it to the RSN post. RL is calling me. Elinruby ( talk) 00:58, 20 June 2024 (UTC)
Or maybe I am wrong and we as a country hallucinated the whole thing. I would be glad to hear that, but I don't actually think it's so Elinruby ( talk) 02:39, 20 June 2024 (UTC)
Requested move at Talk:Death of Jeffrey Northrup#Requested move 17 June 2024![]() There is currently an RfC on the reliability of this source at WP:RSN Elinruby ( talk) 22:59, 28 June 2024 (UTC) There is now a discussion at WP:NORN here about the related article 2021 Canadian church burnings Elinruby ( talk) 18:54, 1 July 2024 (UTC) We are going to need a few more editors familiar with our residential school situation to make sure the editor here, although enthusiastic and seeming well intentioned ( although others have expressed a different view) is dominating these articles. They are clearly not familiar with Canadian sources or any academic sources on the topic..... although all can contribute the sensitive nature of this topic requires some basic knowledge and understanding of the sources that are reliable. Good example of the the time sink others have been dealing with can be seen at Wikipedia:No original research/Noticeboard#2021 Canadian church burnings. I think I should step away for a bit after my less than cordial last response to them see here. Moxy🍁 21:41, 3 July 2024 (UTC) Moxy Yeah it was less than cordial but I am more concerned about the aspersion-laden inappropriate canvassing here. But fine. I will go back to re-adding journal references removed in the recent gutting of the articles. You can go on believing that children did not die of tuberculosis in residential schools as long as you stop interfering with that being restored to the article. Elinruby ( talk) 02:29, 4 July 2024 (UTC)
OK Moxy. If you do not want to read, please stop interfering with the in-progress remediation of misrepresented sources and allow those who are willing to read the sources to fix the problem. If you do not understand what is going on that is one thing. If you refuse to deal with the actual sources because they are TL;DR, there really is nothing else to say. Further disruption will be dealt with as such. If anyone else would like to help with the situation, there is a lot of checking that needs to be done and I will be delighted to get some help. Over and out Elinruby ( talk) 03:47, 5 July 2024 (UTC) Good article reassessment for McLaughlin PlanetariumMcLaughlin Planetarium has been nominated for a good article reassessment. If you are interested in the discussion, please participate by adding your comments to the reassessment page. If concerns are not addressed during the review period, the good article status may be removed from the article. Z1720 ( talk) 19:11, 5 July 2024 (UTC) There is an RfC regarding the reliability of National Post as a source for facts
