Canadian election timelines featured topic
Due to a change in the featured topic criteria, the Canadian election timelines featured topic has 3 months to satisfy criterion 3.c. by getting a peer review done for the audited article in the topic: List of Nunavut general elections. Rreagan007 (talk) 04:14, 12 October 2008 (UTC)

Largely blank columns
With the 13 provinces/territories entering confederation at different points in history, there are lengthy white columns, that I find unnecessary. I would suggest removing the provinces/territories from the sections where they didn't exist, but the 33/40/40/36 length is a bit of applying an artificial sorting convention. I think it should be when provinces/territories joined confederation like this: Or at least remove them from the existing section set up. Thoughts? 117Avenue (talk) 04:48, 31 October 2010 (UTC)
 * 1867-1897
 * 1898-1948 (or 1898-1922 & 1923-1948, or insert a abbr. row above 1923)
 * 1949-1998 (or 1949-1973 & 1974-1998, or insert a abbr. row above 1974)
 * 1999-2015


 * Well, since there appears to be no objection, I will go ahead with the changes. 117Avenue (talk) 05:06, 9 November 2010 (UTC)

Removing colour-dependence
As this list currently stands, the winning party is conveyed solely through use of background colour. I feel this goes against the spirit of WP:ACCESS, so I would like to propose an additional way of conveying this information. My thought was to add an abberviation of the winning party (one or two letters) under each date, with an explanation of the abbreviations in teh colour-key table at the top. Possibly the abbreviation would be linked to the relavtn party article, or it could be 'hover text' to explain the abbreviation (Hover your mouse over this text). What do people think of this idea? Tom pw (talk) (review) 20:12, 27 March 2011 (UTC)
 * I think extra text would clutter up the table. A colour code table can be found at the top, and bottom of the page. 117Avenue (talk) 01:22, 28 March 2011 (UTC)
 * If we don't have the extra text, how can we make the informaiton in teh table accessible to those who are colour-blind (or even blind)? Tom pw (talk) (review) 02:13, 23 April 2011 (UTC)
 * I'm only slightly colour blind and I can't really tell the differences between all the shades of blue. It's also much more difficult for me to memorise colours - acronyms, however, I can figure out in a snap. aethre (talk) 20:09, 1 May 2011 (UTC)

Numbering of Elections/Assemblies
Nova Scotia and New Brunswick did not re-sequence their numbering of assemblies after confederation like Quebec and Ontario. Should their proper numbers be shown in the table as is the case for PEI and Newfoundland who also held elections prior to joining confederation? Therefore NB would start at 21st election and Nova Scotia at 24th rather than 1st for the two of them.

 * Please read the three of the four sections on Talk:Next Nova Scotia general election, that discuss the article name, and follow the sources. If the numbers still confuse you, take a look at User:117Avenue/Atlantic Canada elections, which lists them in a table. 117Avenue (talk) 04:21, 28 July 2011 (UTC)

Featured list removal
This article, as well as List of Canadian federal general elections unfortunately does not have any inline citations and thus should not be considered a featured list. I mentioned the issue on WikiProject_Elections_and_Referendums however no one had time/energy to make the rather arduous citations. I will nominate this article as well as the other, but will first see if anyone watching this talk page would like to take on the task first. Mattximus (talk) 20:30, 6 May 2015 (UTC)
