 * Support. Yet another featured-quality elections list of yours. I have some minor suggestions, this is quite a short list so I'd expect it to be perfect:
 * Put the image at the beginning of the page to avoid having all the text surround him.
 * ...Canadian province of Ontario 's unicameral legislative body... - Ontario's without the space. There is a similar mistake at the end of the sentence.
 * No period at the end of the second and third note, and at the end of the first paragraph.
 * Create articles for the missing parties to avoid red links.
 * Please split the reference by years. Put something like "1867-1902, 1905-1937.." underneath.
 * Are you sure there are no online elections lists besides this one? You might want to backup the referencing better.  Michaelas10   (Talk)   22:52, 21 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Done; done; done; not done due to complete lack of knowledge about said parties; done. Tompw (talk) 23:18, 21 December 2006 (UTC)
 * The second suggestion wasn't done, the spacing issues are still there. As for the missing parties, link the parties on the first missing link seperately and change the link to Equal Rights Party on the second one.  Michaelas10   (Talk)   23:26, 21 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Missed one of the spaces... that's now done. With regard to "Conservative-Liberal"... I assume that this seperate from Conservative and Liberal parties, and thus linking to both would be misleading. Equal Rights Party done. Tompw (talk) 23:40, 21 December 2006 (UTC)
 * I've linked the single "Liberal" to make it similar to other times this kind of combination is made in the article, "Conservative-Equal Rights" for instance.  Michaelas10   (Talk)   23:55, 21 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Sorry, I've hcaged it back... the "Conservative-Equal Rights" was basically an offshoot of the Conservatives; but the Conservative-Liberal was not. Nor was it an offshoot of the Liberal party. Consequently, its been linked as Conservative-Liberal. Sorry for not realising sooner what you had meant. Tompw (talk) 22:58, 3 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment: "Soldier" is a political party? Can it be linked? Rmhermen 04:48, 22 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Yes, it is. It's now been redlinked. Tompw (talk) 12:47, 22 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Support per all the other lists. Well done! Resolute 07:07, 24 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Support. Great list, just like the others. -- Wizardman 18:22, 3 January 2007 (UTC)
