Please add new requests to the top of the list.
- Category:Politics of Quebec → Category:Government and politics of Quebec (discuss)
- I originally requested the above move, but have withdrawn the proposal because a simultaneous change is actually required for a number of categories. I have started a discussion at Category talk:Politics of Canada. Joeldl 07:58, 1 April 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Requests for comment
Please add new requests to the top of the list.
- Template_talk:Canadian_politics/party_colours - Is the Conservative Party the continuation of the Progressive Conservative Party (and therefore should be identified in election results tables with the same colour), or is it a new party (and therefore should be identified with a different shade of blue)?

- Roy Romanow is now under a bizarre edit war between anonymous IP addresses --Cloveious 15:57, 11 March 2007 (UTC)
- Same guy who seems to have a heavy pro-SaskParty-anti-NDP bias. Special:Contributions/70.73.4.197 says it all. -Royalguard11(Talk·Review Me!) 02:21, 16 March 2007 (UTC)
There is disagreement as to the appropriate national variety of English to be used on the page Autoroute. Please see its talk page. Joeldl 18:56, 18 February 2007- An anonymous editor recently started editing in Regina, Saskatchewan. The bulk of his edits have been in a single section regarding the North-Central neighbourhood, Regina's inner city. He has an obvious bias toward the city council and blames them for the state of the neighbourhood. Every effort made to adjust his comments to make them more objective are met with derision and reverts. He also thinks only Reginans should be able to edit the article. The article's history is being reduced to a series of revert wars. I (and the handful of stalwart Regina editors) would greatly appreciate some intervention. Thanks for any help anyone can provide. --Kmsiever 02:07, 3 February 2007 (UTC)

- The anonymous user is back and making all sorts of nonsense edits (even creating empty sections with "under construction" for content. As before, any attempts to change such edits are met with automatic reverts and labelling registered users as vandals. The regular editors would love someone objective to intervene. Thanks for any help. --Kmsiever 19:18, 19 March 2007 (UTC)
- I've semi-protected the page for now. I encourage you to work at a compromise, since the semi should be removed within a few days. Bucketsofg 19:43, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

- Joe Volpe - I wrote this in December: I recently made some cuts to the "leadership candidate" section of this article, on the grounds of correcting undue weight. (I also thought the information about JV's campaign staff was irrelevant, and took up too much space.) Another contributor objects to these changes, on the grounds that it cuts out relevant information. Other opinions are welcome. Click here for the difference. CJCurrie 22:32, 18 December 2006 (UTC) The dispute has now returned. Assistance is requested. CJCurrie 05:56, 24 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Requests for images
General requests for images: Wikipedia requested photographs in Canada
- The Canadian National Vimy Memorial - Previous images were found to be copyvio, and now the article is left with a photo of a coin and a newspaper image of Hitler's visit. Skeezix1000 18:58, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
