Bad climate chart data edits
It 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[1] 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 Transfer
These 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.
I would prefer keeping them seperate, as the latter two are separate programs. I'm thinking of how we have separate articles for split and combined ministries etc. Really the only page that's short is the CST one and I don't see it as a huge problem. JM (talk) 21:34, 29 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I am looking for editors to provide feedback on John Rolph, a Toronto-area politician, lawyer and doctor from the 19th century. I am hoping to nominate the article to FAC later this year. The PR can be found here. Thanks for your help! Z1720 (talk) 19:35, 2 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Royal Society of Canada President undocumented on Wiki, easy, necessary fix
Hello! Back to Wiki editing after years away. 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)[reply]
An 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.

I reverted their most recent edit. There's a section for album releases, so there's no need to repeat them as "notable events". PKT(alk) 19:44, 16 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Sockpuppet investigation
I 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. Let's see how this goes. Regards, PKT(alk) 13:38, 17 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The investigation has been merged with another and is now under Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/HH Crown Prince Wayne of Markham. Unfortunately, the admin comment is, "I've merged this case to the correct location. CUs are aware of this, and an effective rangeblock is not going to be possible. I suggest making liberal use of WP:AIV & WP:RFPP and not giving this individual any more attention than is strictly necessary. Closing." PKT(alk) 11:57, 20 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

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)[reply]
Where are these descriptions? I skimmed the monarchy article and didn't see one? Mr Serjeant Buzfuz (talk) 18:04, 29 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
This appears to be dredging up the same issue over and over again, for example with this same discussion from Talk:Rideau Hall#Queen's official residence from 15 years ago, another above that from 16 years ago, and still others at different articles over the same time span.
I would note that an official residence (designated residence of an official) and where the holder actually lives are not necessarily the same thing. For example, Justin Trudeau has never lived at the official residence of the prime minister during his term as prime minister, and that fact has no bearing on the designation of whether that building is an official residence or not. Or in other words, where someone actually decides to live has zero bearing on the official designation of a residence. trackratte (talk) 06:30, 3 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
That's partially the core of the dispute. Definition of 'official resident'. As for Trudeau? he's not residing at 24 Sussex Drive, because it's undergoing repairs. King Charles III isn't residing at Rideau Hall, the Citadelle or the aforementioned provincial residences, because he simply doesn't reside in any of those places. Trudeau does reside/live in Canada, where's King Charles III does not. GoodDay (talk) 20:17, 3 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

There's a slightly better article on the French Wikipedia, and Google shows some Québec media coverage in the last ten years about it being applied to a new wave of inspectors. This is probably a job for somebody fluent in the local French. G. Timothy Walton (talk) 13:59, 19 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
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) & other provincial general assemblies. Who's sovereign in each. 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)[reply]
