Talk:List of royal tours of Canada (21st century)

suggesting a split due to page size
I would like to suggest that this article be split due to page size. As of this post, it is roughly 88KB. The guideline at WP:SPINOUT is a good read regarding this issue. Any comments?--Rockfang (talk) 16:32, 30 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Holy crap.. it is 88kb. I didn't think a list could get that big; and even taking the images out only reduces it to 86kb. If the article's to be split, along what lines would it be done? By century? --G2bambino (talk) 18:12, 30 May 2008 (UTC)
 * That seems like a logical method to me. I'd suggest copying the intro to each resulting article.  The Royal_tours_of_Canada, Royal_tours_of_Canada, and Royal_tours_of_Canada sections as well.  The pictures could each be put on their corresponding articles.  The resulting 19th century article might still be a bit big, but at least it won't be 88KB.  I suggest waiting a few more days though for additional input before making any changes.--Rockfang (talk) 01:25, 31 May 2008 (UTC)
 * UPDATE: I've done the split. I only split out the 20th century.  I don't think the other centuries need to be split out yet. I copied over the see also, external links and intro sections over.  I decided not to copy over the transportation section.  The new article is long enough already.--Rockfang (talk) 01:23, 14 June 2008 (UTC)
 * I guess what you've done is okay, though it's a bit wierd to jump from the 19th century to the 21st. All may need a bit of fine tuning (lead, etc.), but it seems good overall. --G2bambino (talk) 00:48, 16 June 2008 (UTC)

Orphaned references in Royal tours of Canada
I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Royal tours of Canada's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Reference named "PT": From History of monarchy in Canada:  From Canadian royal symbols:  

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT ⚡ 01:34, 13 February 2010 (UTC)

Private retreats
Should private retreats during an official tour be listed? For example, the Queen stayed in Jasper in the middle of her 2005 trip, and she's possibly going to be spending a day somewhere in Quebec during her upcoming trip.-- Ibagli ( Talk ) 23:13, 20 May 2010 (UTC)

Date notation
Would it be terribly inconsiderate to change the date notation from Month/Day to Day/Month? Surely that's not only the preferred style used by the Canadian government but also the Commonwealth. Haku8645 (talk) 01:27, 30 April 2011 (UTC)
 * See Wikipedia talk:Manual of Style (Canada-related articles) for several discussions on this topic. In Canada, month-day format is by far the most common in newspapers, magazines, books, and government publications. However, there are some people who strongly favour day-month format. Any mass change from one format to the other in Canada-related articles is sure to be controversial. If a given article is consistently in one format, I suggest just leave it.

Foreign royalty
The visits of foreign royalty shouldn't be included in this list. 1) These aren't described as "royal tours"; they're "foreign visits" or some such. The term "royal tour" is always used in Canada to refer to tours by members of Canada's royal family. 2) The coverage is incomplete: no visits by foreign kings and queens. 3) The 18th-20th century list doesn't have the same scope and likely won't (it would be quite an effort to source all the visits of foreign royalty to Canada over 300 years). -- Ħ   MIESIANIACAL  07:20, 21 February 2015 (UTC)
