Election candidates
Please note that candidate categories, such as are only for people who have not already served as Liberal MPs, and are thus not already contained in. They are not added to incumbent Liberal MPs who are running for immediate reelection, or to past Liberal MPs who are trying to come back out of retirement — they are only for people who have never previously sat as members of the Liberal caucus in the HoC. Thanks. Bearcat (talk) 16:07, 29 August 2015 (UTC)
 * I personally think that completeness and ease of access should override subcategorization clutter concerns during election periods, but it seems what you said is what has always been consensus so I won't complain. Maybe we can add a note at the top of these subcategories? Patar knight - chat/contributions 19:04, 29 August 2015 (UTC)

Bloc Québécois
I see you've been fighting a pretty persistent battle the past couple of weeks over the addition of an improperly-sourced "centre-right" to the infobox at Bloc Québécois — just wanted to let you know that I've placed an "autoconfirmed users" semi on the article for a couple of weeks to hopefully put a lid on it. Thanks, keep up the good work. Bearcat (talk) 01:14, 5 October 2015 (UTC)

Ashley Madison leaks
When the CBC picks up this story I will repost the link with a citation, and then your reversion will be vandalism which will be reported. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 206.116.14.46 (talk) 04:13, 10 October 2015 (UTC)
 * Per our biographies of living people policy, due to libel concerns, when contentious stories like this emerge about public figures such as Canadian MPs, we cannot host the content on Wikipedia unless the story is also reported on by multiple, third-party reliable sources. If CBC and other sources pick it up, we can revisit the issue then. Until then, it simply cannot stay on Wikipedia. Patar knight - chat/contributions 04:17, 10 October 2015 (UTC)

Re: public speaking in biography articles
Thanks for feedback, I agree with your assessment non-neutral language - I will adjust that. I have to disagree with your assessment on the need to mention who they are represented by. Take professional athletes are treated to having their representation sourced - see the profile for Kevin Durant. Those are also treated with a source. The representation for an individual is an important aspect of public knowledge should not be treated differently based on a profession (i.e. Athlete vs. Academic). So please adjust your edit accordingly. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bennyhbk (talk • contribs) 18:42, 16 October 2015 (UTC)
 * I think the representation in terms of athletes and public speakers is fundamentally different, especially since most of the pubic speaker articles you've edited are primarily known for something other than public speaking (e.g. Mr. Rae is a politician, Mr. Coates is a historian, Mr. Mitic is another politician, etc.). On the other hand, athletes are primarily known for their athletics, their deals in which are represented by their agents. It's comparing apples and oranges, and I think explicitly mentioning the agency in the article text would be push it over the border of what is and isn't promotional. Patar knight - chat/contributions 18:50, 16 October 2015 (UTC)

Your term "I Think" followed by a judgement call is extremely troublesome when it comes to editing. You are meant to follow a rule applied to all - not pick and choose my friend. They are not different - both generate income in one key aspect (e.g. politician, sports player) followed by a supplemental income (endorsements, player appearances, public speaking). Bennyhbk (talk) 18:53, 16 October 2015 (UTC)bennyhbk
 * It's a judgement call because the policy itself does not give a bright line for what is and isn't too promotional. I think it's a fair to say that explicitly mentioning the agency in articles in which the person is not primarily known for their public speaking is too promotional, though if there is consensus against that position, I am willing to revise that view. However, it's clearly not the case that the sports agent and the public speaking agent are even in the same league. The sports agent is responsible for getting their player good contracts in professional sports, and will also handle secondary sources of revenue. In short they are responsible for managing a player's entire career and almost all of their income opportunities. To claim that this is similar to a public speaking agency handling events for people who are already famous for some other field is prima facie ridiculous (unless of course the person is primarily/solely known for being a public speaker). The agency did not get the politician elected or the historian their professorships. Patar knight - chat/contributions 14:46, 17 October 2015 (UTC)

Lynton Crosby
Lynton Crosby is noted as "being married to his wife Dawn". Who ele's wife would he be married to? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 1.129.97.7 (talk) 21:32, 16 October 2015 (UTC)
 * It sounded awkward to just say "Lynton Crosby is married to Dawn", though you're entirely right that it's tautological. Patar knight - chat/contributions 14:47, 17 October 2015 (UTC)
