Photos
Just a quick note for you about infobox photos: if you want to replace the existing photo in a person's infobox with a different one, then you need a clear reason why the new photo is better than the existing one. In the case of Andrew Leslie, for example, it's obvious that the new photo is better, since it's a much closer crop that actually focuses in on his face instead of just having him present as a small figure in a wide-scan — but in the case of both Andrew Scheer and Jagmeet Singh, there's no obvious reason why the existing infobox photos were problematic at all, or why the new ones you replaced them with would be significant improvements.

So in a case like that, you need a better reason to replace the photo than just "I want to". If the new photo is obviously an improvement over the existing one, such as a crop that zooms in closer on the actual subject than the original photo, then it's fine to replace — but if the old and new photos are both of equal validity and you just personally happen to like one better than the other, then you need to start a talk page discussion to propose that the existing photo be replaced with the new one rather than just replacing it yourself. We don't want the infobox photo to turn into an edit-war battleground every time somebody has a different opinion about which of two valid photos is better — so if the existing photo is perfectly fine and doesn't have any significant problems, then you need a better reason to replace it than just the fact that other photos are also available.
