Timeline Section
[edit]This article could use a timeline section. Perhaps this section could be expanded to become one.--Darryl Kerrigan (talk) 20:55, 26 June 2020 (UTC)
- There is now a rough timeline section, but it could use improvement. It could also use addition of some of the pre-COVID dates (ie when the contest first started, Weaver resigned, contest called etc).--Darryl Kerrigan (talk) 21:05, 26 June 2020 (UTC)
Debate Table
[edit]I have added the following debate table section. It is pretty sparse right now as only one debate has been announced, and there are few details on it. It other debates are planned, or attended by two candidates or more, we should add them. If any are cancelled we should add that to this section. The original (pre-COVID) plan was to hold a few debates if I am remembering correctly, perhaps that should be noted in prose below the table (or a cancellation table).--Darryl Kerrigan (talk) 21:29, 26 June 2020 (UTC)

two infoboxes: not okay
[edit]So not only do we have two infoboxes for the very same element, they both have different titles, with the first one titled "2020 BC Green Party leadership election" and the second "2020 Green Party of British Columbia leadership election". The only time we should have more than a single infobox in a single article is when the article covers multiple elements that are not necessarily notable enough on their own to have their own articles, and so having two or more summaries of contents makes a certain amount of sense. This is not a case of that, as both infoboxes cover the same element; this breaks the purpose of having an infobox, which is to provide a summary of the article.
And arguments of "Well that's how other pages do it" are "other stuff exists" arguments, which is to say not valid on their own merits. —Joeyconnick (talk) 18:54, 9 August 2020 (UTC)
- They are valid, because this is widely-accepted practice for Canadian leadership elections; you can see it on many other leadership election articles. I don't see why this particular page should be singled out, or why it should break from apparent consensus. You would do better to raise the issue, for the entire practice, over at WikiProject Canada instead. — Kawnhr (talk) 20:08, 9 August 2020 (UTC)
- I agree with you both. I have always thought it was odd that there were two infoboxes for these leadership campaigns. I think it probably makes sense to find a way to combine them. That said, since this is pretty consistent across Canadian leadership campaign articles, it makes sense to deal with it for all of them, not just this article. I do not see any reason some articles should have two and others only one.--Darryl Kerrigan (talk) 20:28, 17 August 2020 (UTC)
Results Table (and info in the infobox)
[edit]We need a results table and details of the results incorporated in the infobox. Seems that in the second round the votes were Sonia Furstenau 2,428 and Cam Brewer 2,127. Kim Darwin was eliminated in the first round.[1] Not sure what the results of the first round were. I haven't seen those published anywhere. If someone finds them, please post the link.--Darryl Kerrigan (talk) 22:36, 14 September 2020 (UTC)
