Bad climate chart data editsIt should be known that a user (Special:Contributions/Donkeybread) has gone through and "updated" a number of climate charts with new 1991-2020 data but only updated certain sections of the charts with new data leaving the old 1981-2010 data mixed in with it in the same charts and then changed the header of the charts to say that all the old data and new is now all new "1991-2020" data. This here 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.

Merging of Canada Health and Social Transfer, Canada Health Transfer, and Canada Social TransferThese programs are all related through a common history (CHST was split into CST and CHT), but the pages are all a little stump-y. I feel like they would benefit from merger into a single article with a History section. Any thoughts?

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 CanadaThere'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 musicAn 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. Bearcat (talk) 17:00, 16 March 2024 (UTC) Sockpuppet investigationI 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.

Provincial government houses, as monarch's official residences?Six of our ten provinces still maintain an official residence for their respective lieutenant governors. I've noticed however that most of those government houses, are described as also being official residences of the monarch. Starting in 1867, I don't recall Victoria, Edward VII, George V, Edward VIII, George VI, Elizabeth II or Charles III spending much time (if any) in either of those provincial residences. Aren't we kinda distorting info & stretching things, by suggesting any of those places are an official residence of the monarch? GoodDay (talk) 17:55, 29 March 2024 (UTC)

Boubou MacoutesHi, I've been looking at very old articles with no refs. I'm not able to read references about Boubou Macoutes, I was wondering if anyone here could help suggest refs which show notability. Thanks. JMWt (talk) 09:49, 19 April 2024 (UTC)
Who's sovereign of each provincial legislature?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)
Government Houses as royal residencesA question came up at Government House (Prince Edward Island) which I think actually concerns all of the government houses in Canada. I initially started a discussion on the talk page of that article but since this possibly affects many articles I'm going to redirect the discussion here. We have a source defining government houses as the official residences of the Canadian monarch when they are in those provinces (and Rideau Hall when they are in Ottawa). Up to today we had a category Category:Royal residences in Canada but user Wellington Bay has cleared the category today as well as the same category for Australia, on the basis of there being no source explicitly describing them as royal residences, and that an official residence of a monarch is not the same as a royal residence. I'm not sure that there's value to an encyclopedia in distinguishing "official residence of a royal" from "royal residence", but I also don't think there's value in having the royal residences category in parallel to Category:Government Houses in Canada with presumably exactly the same content. We don't have a description for "royal residence"; our title royal residence is a redirect to Palace, which also has a section for the Canadian government houses. I'd like more opinions on where to go from here. Ivanvector (Talk/Edits) 17:43, 22 April 2024 (UTC)
With the United Kingdom as the obvious exception. It's interesting, that there's any resistance concerning Canada, when there's no resistance concerning Australia, New Zealand, Papua New Guinea, Jamaica, etc. GoodDay (talk) 20:52, 22 April 2024 (UTC)
I've restored the monarch to the intro at Rideau Hall, as that's what the last RFC there, called for. It also makes it consistent with the intro at Citadelle of Quebec. I think it's best that all these government houses-in-question, be consistent. Whether it's to include the monarch or exclude. GoodDay (talk) 21:49, 23 April 2024 (UTC) References
Nationality of an actressFourthords, a user who previously caused a ruckus at Teryl Rothery (see Wikipedia_talk:Canadian_Wikipedians'_notice_board/Archive_27#Teryl_Rothery) is at it again on Eve Harlow, where they're basically vetoing any source whatsoever that describes her as "Canadian", and forcibly reverting anybody who tries to diffuse her out of Category:Film actresses or Category:Television actresses, even though those are container categories that are not allowed to have any individual articles filed directly in them, and are only allowed to contain subcategories. Obviously this is not acceptable, but they're revert-warring anybody who makes any edits to the article that don't fit their agenda — and, in fact, the article is very poorly sourced and not really demonstrating that she would actually pass WP:GNG at all, as it's referenced almost entirely to directory entries on Rotten Tomatoes rather than proper media coverage, and even what there is for media coverage is coming primarily from Screen Rant (a marginal source at best) rather than real GNG-worthy media of record. So I wanted to ask if anybody's willing to help repair the article with better sourcing that would properly support getting her out of the container categories, and/or willing to back me up on an WP:AFD discussion if the sourcing can't be improved.
