Seat count in infobox of Senate Liberal Caucus
Hi ,

I get your thinking in removing the above parameter from the infobox of the above article, but my thinking was we should leave the graphic illustration to indicate the seat count at dissolution, possibly with a footnote or some other notation indicating this was the seat count at dissolution?

Cheers,

 * , that's a fair point. I'll revert my edit and take it to the talk page (along with other changes I was mulling over). — Kawnhr (talk) 22:01, 14 November 2019 (UTC)
 * , Okay, sounds good. Yeah, either option is a potentially valid. It's so wonderful to work with such a cooperative, positive editor. :) Doug Mehus T · C  22:37, 14 November 2019 (UTC)

QC Libs leadership
Hey, just wanted to tell you that there's the QC Libs leadership happening soon, since I've seen you edit other leadership races. I saw the date recently for May but I need to find the source again. - MikkelJSmith (talk) 14:55, 27 November 2019 (UTC)
 * Cool, thanks for the heads-up! I'll be keeping an eye on it. — Kawnhr (talk) 18:37, 27 November 2019 (UTC)

Green Party of Canada's Deputy Leader Daniel Green decline leadership election.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2020_Green_Party_of_Canada_leadership_election

Daniel Green said in french: «Pas du tout, tranche le principal intéressé. J’ai 64 ans et être un chef de parti, c’est un sport extrême. Je vais laisser à d’autres, peut-être plus jeunes, mener le parti vers d’autres horizons, plus grands et plus forts.»

 * Good catch! I've added him back to the page, with that article as a source. — Kawnhr (talk) 23:34, 9 January 2020 (UTC)

2020 CPC Leadership: Possible to merge edits?
New here. Your NatPost ref to Kenney's endorsement of O'Toole is indeed a better one than O'Toole's Twitter, but I think I may have been editing the page simultaneously when it got published. The NatPost ref got nixed in the process and I don't want to take credit for re-adding it, but I don't want to undo mine either.

Is there a way the two edits can be merged? To give credit where it's due.

 * Huh, weird. I don't think there's a way to merge edits like that, so I went and restored it manually. Thanks for the heads up. — Kawnhr (talk) 03:58, 6 March 2020 (UTC)

Yukon Party leadership race page
Hi there. I've noticed that you've been contributing to a lot of pages regarding leadership elections for parties. I'd just like to let you know that there's a page for the Yukon Party leadership election that's happening right now. It's pretty barren, but I think it might interest you a bit.

Invitation
Hello, Kawnhr! I saw you recently edited a page related to the Green party and green politics. There is a WikiProject that has been formed - WikiProject Green Politics and I thought this might be something you'd be interested in joining! So please head on over to the project page and take a look! Thanks for your time. Me-123567-Me (talk) 21:05, 10 September 2020 (UTC)

Infoboxes
Thank you for letting me know, I'll keep that in mind from now on! --MisterElection2001 (talk) 19:15, 26 November 2020 (UTC)

PPC
Why shouldn't the party belong in the infobox?! Because they don't have seats?! They are literally fielding 300+ candidates plus Bernier himself! Ridiculous!
 * You are free to read the many, many discussions about it over at Talk:2021 Canadian federal election. I do not feel like repeating it. — Kawnhr (talk) 18:18, 16 September 2021 (UTC)

Retiring MPs
It depends on whether you prioritize official status or common practice. From a strictly legal perspective, by definition Parliament can't have any members if it's been dissolved and there isn't a Parliament to have any members — so from a strictly legal perspective, an MP's term does end with the writ drop. Of course, in actual practice things aren't actually conducted that way for the most part — MPs obviously don't lose MP-related privileges during the election campaign, MPs obviously don't close their constituency offices since constituents might still need non-election-related help with government stuff during the election, the media doesn't ignore the relevance of incumbency as an advantage for MPs who are running for reelection, and on and so forth — but technically speaking, all MPs actually cease to be MPs at the writ drop and even reelected MPs only become MPs again once the ballots are in. Of course, we've never bothered here to be technically precise about it when MPs are reelected — we don't start a new office field each time an MP is reelected to the same office, for example — but historically the consensus was that we should be more precise about the technicality of it if and when an MP retired from politics and thus their stint as an MP had ended outright.

I'm not all that strongly wedded to the idea that we have to do it that way, rather than just using election day itself regardless of the nuances of the situation — but because we did have the consensus to use the writ drop in the past, a lot of other MP's infoboxes would need to have the end dates changed from "writ drop" to "election day" if there were a desire to overturn the prior consensus. So we couldn't just do it for Catherine McKenna alone while leaving most other former MPs as is — we would need to implement a genuinely comprehensive project of changing a lot of MP end dates from "writ drop" to "election day". That's more trouble than I would be willing to take on, but YMMV. Bearcat (talk) 14:59, 25 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Fair enough, thanks for the explanation. I'll keep that in mind going forward. — Kawnhr (talk) 16:28, 25 September 2021 (UTC)

Hiya
Hey, do you think you could upload a cover for Grouper's Shade? I did, but I'm positive I did it wrong (copyright-wise). Isthistwisted (talk) 04:13, 13 March 2022 (UTC)
 * Sorry for the late reply— I'm usually relatively inactive on weekends. I'm happy to help, but I see that another editor has supplied the cover image in the meantime, so I suppose it's moot now. But thank you for bringing this page to my attention again; I had been intending to do some work expanding it but it completely slipped my mind. — Kawnhr (talk) 17:25, 14 March 2022 (UTC)

Senate template
There's a problem with the new colour scheme you've implemented at Senate of Canada -- I don't know what it looks like to you, but at least on my monitor (and thus certainly for other people as well), the Independent Senators Group and Progressive Senate Group colours are nearly impossible to distinguish from each other at all, and even the Canadian Senators Group colour is marginally more distinguishable but still only with strain and effort. There needs to be much higher contrast between the colours than that — I'm not even colourblind at all, but some other readers of Wikipedia are. Bearcat (talk) 18:16, 2 November 2022 (UTC)
 * , I have to admit that I'm not seeing the issue — all three of those colours are clearly and easily distinguishable to me — but I admit this can vary according to monitor and such. That said, the colours were not of my choosing but the standardized colours of Template:Canadian party colour, so it'd be a good idea to raise your concern there; if these colours are problematic, it would be best to fix that at the source. — Kawnhr (talk) 18:36, 2 November 2022 (UTC)
 * now that I've had a look on my home computer, I see that the colour blocks are rendering much smaller than they did on my work machine. At this smaller resolution I do agree it's mre difficult to make out which is which. Is that the concern here? — Kawnhr (talk) 14:45, 3 November 2022 (UTC)
 * Yeah, I think size could well be the issue. Bearcat (talk) 14:49, 3 November 2022 (UTC)
 * Got it. The reason I went with unicode over colorbox is because colorbox is way too big for the number of times it'd get used in this navbox. I went looking to see if there was anything smaller, and found colorbull. I tested this on my sandbox and I think this works — small enough to be unobtrusive but large enough to be distinguishable. Let me know what you think. — Kawnhr (talk) 15:48, 3 November 2022 (UTC)
 * TBH, on my monitor I'm still not seeing a marked difference even in the sandbox version. It gets a little better if I reduce my screen resolution to something lower than my current 1920x1080, mainly because that counterintuitively increases the size of the colourboxes, but at my regular settings they're still hard to distinguish well. Bearcat (talk) 16:03, 3 November 2022 (UTC)
 * Hmm, not sure what to do here. I like the line strip (inline=small) version of Rail color box, but that template was made for railways (and can't be display arbitrary colours besides). Once upon a time I proposed modifying Canadian party colour to have a parameter to display a block of colour, but it was met with skepticism and didn't go anywhere. Perhaps something to try again? — Kawnhr (talk) 17:58, 3 November 2022 (UTC)

Infoboxes and maps
Well now that was an interesting read thanks for pointing me there. I am comfortable with maps being in the main articale and not the info box.

 * I apologize for the confusion I caused. I had been trawling through all the by-election articles and removing the maps, and after a while I figured linking back to the Project was unnecessary… not considering that, of course, some editors will only be watching some of these articles and not all! — Kawnhr (talk) 18:29, 23 June 2023 (UTC)
