Updated Canadian constitution article
Hi WatkynBassett, thought you might be interested in an article I recently expanded: Preamble to the Constitution Act, 1867. I don’t see any potential there for DYK, but might try for GA at some point. Hope all’s well. Mr Serjeant Buzfuz (talk) 05:48, 9 April 2024 (UTC)


 * Hi! I really admire your work on the Constitution Act! One day we will hopefully have a Wikipedia where you can access such high quality information on all the provisions of the constitutions of the world! Keep up the great work! WatkynBassett (talk) 12:32, 14 April 2024 (UTC)
 * And a new article on a constitutional court case: Attorney General of Ontario v Mercer. Subject matter rather dry (does an escheat go to the federal govt or the provincial govt?), but there’s some human interest in the underlying facts.

Coordinates
I had to make a change to your otherwise very good Great Martyrdom of Edo article; rounding the coordinates. Google has taken to providing 16-digit coordinates in what is believed to be a copyright trap scheme. That level of precision is in the 1/100th of a micrometre range. WP:OPCOORD calls for always rounding or truncating coordinates (tldr: use DD°MM'SS" or D.dddd° for everything). Also, MOS:ORDER wants the Coord template placed just above the Categories on the bottom of pages. This is because if the Coord template is at the top it causes a glitch in the rendering of the article on certain mobile phones. Abductive  (reasoning) 05:36, 20 June 2024 (UTC)


 * Many thanks for your advice regarding coordinates. I did not know any of this and will keep this in mind in the future. Happy editing! WatkynBassett (talk) 06:12, 20 June 2024 (UTC)

Query re Ernst August von Hannover (born 1954)
Hi Watkyn, I’ve got a question for you. I was noodling around and came across this article: Ernst August von Hannover (born 1954), the bad boy of former German princely families. It mentioned that he was seeking a retrial of his conviction for aggravated assault on a fellow in Kenya, but it didn’t say anything more than that. I found some sources that said the retrial was held in 2009, and added that update, but I can’t find out what happened! I’ve not found an English source with the outcome. Would you be interested in poking around to see if you can find out what happened? A source in German would work for the cite. Hope your summer is going well. Mr Serjeant Buzfuz (talk) 15:54, 17 July 2024 (UTC)


 * Hi, ! Germany Wikipedia was very helpful in getting a grip on the procedural history of this long trial. I added the relevant outcome to the article. Please feel free to improve it further. If you are interested in this case you can find all the different decisions in this case here: https://dejure.org/dienste/vernetzung/rechtsprechung?Gericht=OLG%20Celle&Datum=28.04.2011&Aktenzeichen=31%20Ss%207%2F11 (in German ...). I hope this helps & I appreciate you reaching out. Hope you are doing well! WatkynBassett (talk) 20:19, 17 July 2024 (UTC)
 * Thanks! I knew you would come through.  Looks good.  I've found one bit that I will add, about the jurisdiction of the German courts.  (I'm surviving a hot summer here.) Mr Serjeant Buzfuz (talk) 02:19, 19 July 2024 (UTC)
