Consistency between Canadian election articles and MOS[edit]

I made a couple of edits earlier which were reversed by @Ahunt:

Just to give some context, the language I've typically seen used in Canadian election articles is "on or before X date", rather than "provisional. This is the format used in the 2022 article, as well as the federal article. Because of the nature of the parliamentary system, it isn't accurate to call it a provisional date, even if fixed election legislation exists because the government can still advise for an early election. It sets a maximum rather than a minimum.

As well, I'll note that previous iterations of future election articles include the type of politician election as well as the body.

As for changes to capitalization, MOS:JOBTITLES advises that lowercase is to be used in most cases, as the office is referenced in the generic.

Just trying to ensure consistency and MOS, not sure how that isn't constructive. —WildComet talk 05:04, 21 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Proposal to Remove Ontario Party from Opinion Polling Table[edit]

I am proposing to remove the Ontario Party from the opinion polling table as they are not even registered as a political party anymore. Skylerbuck (talk) 19:16, 30 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • Support - That is s pretty solid reason to remove them! - Ahunt (talk) 20:28, 30 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Correcting sample sizes and margins of error in the Opinion Polling Table[edit]

This is a pet peeve I have with basically all public polling aggregators. They always use the sample size and margin of error from the entire poll then report the decided vote numbers that exclude undecided voters. It means the sample size is always overstated and the margin of error always understated. I think its time to start being more correct on that. 2607:FEA8:A6DF:2C00:BCF7:4C02:A727:BE6D (talk) 21:25, 30 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
