Re: R. v. Coote
You're quite welcome :) For future reference, a stub tag is for articles that contain very little content (no more than a paragraph) and genuinely give no real information. See Wikipedia:Stub. Yours had plenty of content and was well referenced, so it definitely didn't need the tag. Good job anyway :) QueenCake (talk) 16:19, 9 November 2011 (UTC)
Naming conventions
Thank you for your note, Mr Serjeant Buzfuz. The general rules are at Wikipedia:Article titles and Wikipedia:Naming conventions. See in particular Wikipedia:Naming conventions (people)#Titles and styles and Wikipedia:Naming conventions (royalty and nobility)#British nobility, which is not a very good title for titles of knighthood, but they are covered there. In practice, we don't include "Sir" in the article title for a knight unless for some reason it's useful. Moonraker (talk) 19:36, 16 November 2011 (UTC)

Convention results boxes
I was looking at some of your "Election History of..." articles. In the convention results box near the end of the article:
Candidate | First Ballot | ||
---|---|---|---|
Votes cast | % | ||
Lester B. Pearson | 1,074 | 77.8% |
I'm concerned that the bold blue-on-red text may be difficult to read (see Wikipedia:Colour contrast). Similarly in the Kim Campbell article:
Candidate | First Ballot | Second Ballot | |||
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Votes cast | % | Votes cast | % | ||
Kim Campbell | 1,664 | 48.0% | 1,817 | 52.6% |
What if the colour scheme of these tables were changed to something like:
Candidate | First Ballot | ||
---|---|---|---|
Votes cast | % | ||
Lester B. Pearson | 1,074 | 77.8% | |
Kim Campbell | 1,664 | 48.0% |
They may not be the official colour tones of the parties, but I feel legibility is important. – Reidgreg (talk) 21:46, 23 November 2019 (UTC)
- @Reidgreg: Sorry for the delay in getting back to you; some stuff IRL and limited computer access; find I can't tinker with tables on my iPad. I certainly take your point that legibility is important. I like the pale blue you suggest for the Conservatives, but I find the pink just too washed out for the Liberals; personal subjectivity, of course! I poked around in the colours articles and found a slightly darker red that I think is still legible; what do you think of it?

- Thanks for pinging me, and don't worry, there's no deadline.
- I put your suggestion into Snook's colour contrast tool and it came out as non-compliant with WCAG 2.0 standards (for small to medium sized text). However, it's a definite improvement on the original and I feel it's relatively easy to read the bold text (non-bold text might be difficult though, should anyone change it). I tried playing around with a colour chooser but as I lightened the background colour it always skewed towards salmon/pink.
- I'm fine with your suggestion. Will you be able to implement the change in the articles or should I? – Reidgreg (talk) 16:01, 6 January 2020 (UTC)
- Done! Changing codes on existing tables was easy on a tablet. Just find it difficult to create new tables, like the one I did here. But ended up using the colour code for the federal Liberals from the table of Party colors - found it was pretty close to the one I suggested above, and equally legible.

Sorry for posting here, but I don't know how to reply on the topic talk page.
Comparing Australia and Canada is not a simple one-on-one mapping. You are correct that the Canadian provinces are sovereign powers in their own right, but they derive their sovereignty from the Canadian Government. In Australia, the States delegate their powers to Canberra. Even the title Lieutenant Governor implies a junior role unlike the Australian Governors. Your point that because the Governor General acts with the Monarch's powers, the appointment of the Lieutenant Governors is equally by the Monarch is a fatuous truism, because everything done is equivalent to being done by Her Majesty, but in Australia the State Governors are appointed directly from the Palace, not via the Governor-General. Another point of difference is that State Ministers can advise The Queen but not the equivalent in Canada, so there is the potential for a conflict in Australia, but is unlikely to happen. It is not generally acknowledged that the Australian States are actually separate realms that overlap with the CofA.
I regret that I could not work out how to reply to you on the correct talk page. However, you probably want to leave that page showing that you had the last word, even if your response was very Canada-centric and clearly displays a lack of understanding of the Australian Constitution that is unique in many ways. You are apparently a Jurist of considerable stature, and I feel rather cheeky disputing Constitutional Law with you without being more respectful in my disagreements. The Law is infinitely divisible.
The point that I am disputing with you has no practical relevance, but as a newly-converted Monarchist, I am fascinated by the Constitution. I used to have a FaceBook page called Melbourne Monarchists, but FaceBook banned me when I wrote in defense of HRH the Duke of York. Now I have no one to talk to.

United Airlines Flight 93
Hi, I just replied to you on the talkpage. Please consider that Featured Articles (FA) are not (PA) Perfect Articles...we don't have PA! Hence, the large number of edits made to Flight 93, since its promotion in 2008. FAs and GAs aren't set in stone,(at least they shouldn't be...), always room for improvement and additional information. Back in July, I made a run thru, adding much needed paragraphs, etc, etc, and Very Boldly changing the hierarchy of the section headings! This is how it appeared before, with everything crammed under Flight. Much better now, and no one objected! And I am a very junior editor, compared to you...

Use of "Her Excellency"

- Thanks for the reply.

Side discussions on user talk pages do not help to build an article. Please feel free to raise the issue on the Talk page of the article, and I will respond there, so that all editors can follow the discussion. Mr Serjeant Buzfuz (talk) 19:10, 8 November 2021 (UTC)

Canada Act 1982
My edit was based on the assumption that this was only a British law and not part of Canadian law as such (though it contains Canadian law), partly because no one formatted it with a comma. Should it have a comma? Hairy Dude (talk) 11:11, 22 November 2021 (UTC)
- hi, thanks for asking. Section 52(2) of the Constitution Act, 1982 provides that the Canada 1982 is italicised, but no comma: https://laws-lois.justice.gc.ca/eng/const/page-13.html#h-59. Mr Serjeant Buzfuz (talk) 13:22, 22 November 2021 (UTC)
- However, I do wonder if this issue of italics should be treated more like a question of style. In Canada, in legal writing, all statutes are italicised, whether Canadian, US, British or international (eg treaties). That's what our legal style manuals recommend, and what the courts do. If we followed that approach on Wikipedia, if an article is about Canada, all statutes would be italicised, regardless of source, but in an article about Britain, all statutes would not be italicised, regardless of source. After all, if an article is using British spelling, we don't switch to American spelling if part of the article is touching on American matters. I would think a consistent usage throughout would be better, because less confusing to the reading.
- For instance, I'm working on the Demise of the Crown article, and am just getting to the section where I will cite some Canadian statutes. If I follow Canadian style for Canadian statutes in that section, but British style for British statutes, then there will be a mishmash - English/British statutes non-italicised, Canadian statutes italicised. My inclination, however, is to follow British style throughout, and not italicise the Canadian statutes, because the article is mainly about British law. I think that approach is less confusing to the reader. Thoughts? Mr Serjeant Buzfuz (talk) 13:46, 22 November 2021 (UTC)

JCPC category
Sorry I didn't get back to you sooner about your category question; I wasn't on here at all on the specific day you posted your question to my talk page, and by the time I was back I had several other issues to deal with and yours got lost in the shuffle. My apologies.
It sounds to me like the topic you describe is one that would probably make more sense as a list than as a category. As a rule, we categorize people by their defining characteristics, not necessarily by every intersection of multiple traits that they may happen to possess. A category for "people who did both X and Y" is generally discouraged, except in the circumstance that you can find sources that explicitly discuss the people who did both X and Y as a group, in order to ascribe some encyclopedic significance to the intersection as a thing in its own right. (For example, although there are musicians who have gone into politics, we don't have a category for musicians who have gone into politics, because there isn't much evidence out there that musicians going into politics get collectively analyzed for the political or cultural significance of an intersection between those two occupations — but conversely, there does seem to be some collective analysis out there about the cultural significance of sports figures going into politics after they retire from sports, so we do have a Category:Sportsperson-politicians tree. (That said, I'm still not convinced that we should, because people routinely think its existence justifies the creation of "other occupation-politicians" intersections for every other career that two or more politicians might have had before entering politics — but that one has been kept even as other "equivalent" categories have been deleted, because there was a consensus established that the sourceability of the topic had a different basis than some of the others.)
So the basis for a category for "judges of the JCPC who wrote decisions in Canadian constitutional law" wouldn't be "are there multiple people who could be filed in it?", it would be "are there sources out there treating 'judges of the JCPC who wrote decisions in Canadian constitutional law' as a group who are analyzed for the significance of the intersection of those two traits?" — if there aren't, then you'd be better off thinking about a list rather than a category. There's still no guarantee that a list would be kept if somebody challenged the notability of the topic at AFD, but the basis for a list isn't exactly the same as the basis for a category, so things that aren't appropriate for categories can sometimes still be acceptable as lists. Bearcat (talk) 16:27, 10 January 2022 (UTC)
- @Bearcat: Thanks, no probs with delay; it’s a busy time of the year. 🌲
- I hadn’t thought of a list article, but that makes more sense. There is a lot written about this group of judges, particularly from the perspective whether their interpretation of the BNA Act significantly weakened the federal government in a way not consistent with original intent. Viscount Haldane, who wrote a lot of decisions, has been characterized as « the wicked Godfather of Confederation ». Another one whose name comes up is William Watson, Baron Watson. Academics such as F. R. Scott and Peter Hogg have written a fair bit about the JCPC judges and this issue, so I would think that a list would pass notability requirements.
- The name is still an issue: I wouldn’t want it to be a list of JCPC judges who wrote decisions in Canadian cases generally, because that’s too broad a class. Those non-constitutional decisions were important at the time, but haven’t generated the same level of academic discourse as the constitutional ones. It’s specifically the constitutional cases which have attracted a lot of attention. But « List of Judicial Committee judges who wrote Canadian constitutional law decisions » is way clunky and long. Would you have any suggestion?
- The more I think about it, doing a list would let me include a lot of info: years of service, number of cases, list of cases. That would be of much more value. Thanks! Mr Serjeant Buzfuz (talk) 17:11, 10 January 2022 (UTC)

Use dmy dates
Thanks for reverting a few misplaced {{Use dmy dates}} tags added by me.
I noticed that on a few of them you had left an edit summary like this one: There is no basis to impose DMY as a standard; WP does not have a date standard, and date tags have to be inserted based on the content of the article. DMY is not a default and should not automatically be inserted
.
So I wanted to explain what I am doing.
I am not trying to impose DMY as a standard
, at least not globally. Per MOS:TIES and WP:DATEFORMAT, some countries default to DMY and some to MDY; the others have no default. Canada is one the no-default countries.
What I have been doing is adding {{Use dmy dates}} to article with close ties to the UK & Ireland, which do use the DMY format. My list-making involves a heck of a lot of checks to try to exclude articles which have closer ties to other countries, and in general this has succeeded: my error rate is about 0.1%.
One of the articles where you reverted the tag is Act of Union 1840. That was included in my tagging list because it is an Act of the United Kingdom Parliament at Westminster, so it has close ties to the UK. It also has close ties to Canada, so there is a balance to be drawn, and I can of course see that there is a case for regarding the Canadian ties as more significant. I am personally unpersuaded either way on which ties are more significant, but it's not worth debating. However, since Canada accepts both formats, I don't think it's an open-and-shut issue.
Hope that clarifies my approach. BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 14:38, 16 April 2022 (UTC)
