List of premiers of the Northwest Territories[edit]

  • Comment — sources look good. –Juliancolton Tropical Cyclone 16:11, 11 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • I understand why you included commissioners during the periods when the Territories didn't have an elected legislature, but I'm not sure if I agree with the inclusion of the Lieutenant-Governors. The LGs are vice-regal positions, and if you are going to mix up viceroys with heads of government, the list should probably be under a different name. --Arctic Gnome (talk • contribs) 18:49, 11 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    I could move them to another list. What do you suggest the list should be named? Gary King (talk) 18:52, 11 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    This list should start with the head of the first council, if there was one, not the first council viceroy. If there was no head, we should start with the head of the first assembly, which I guess would be Robert Brett. The lieutenant-governors should be in List of lieutenant-governors of Northwest Territories, which itself should probably be merged with Commissioners of Northwest Territories. --Arctic Gnome (talk • contribs) 20:10, 11 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    It's actually kind of hard to tell who was a government leader and who was representative of the crown. This will take some further research. --Arctic Gnome (talk • contribs) 16:34, 12 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    I figured as much. I will leave it be for now. Gary King (talk) 16:45, 12 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    From the looks of the sources, the people labelled as commissioners and premiers were just that. Therefore, this list should only include Frederick W. A. G. Haultain and the post 1980 premiers. The rest of these people should be moved to Commissioners of Northwest Territories, as the two titles are very different in their formal placement within the government, even if they were performing the same jobs. This would reduce the list to 11 items, which hopefully is still enough to make it featured. --Arctic Gnome (talk • contribs) 21:03, 14 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    Ah, I see. There will be a gap between the first Premier and the rest then. Should I place a note between them, and how should it be displayed? Gary King (talk) 21:06, 14 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • One change I would like to see is the order of the table. Rather than Image, number, name, the picture and name should be together with an order of Number, image, name. If this is done then I Support. Very good prose. Reywas92Talk 01:47, 13 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    Could you clarify that by showing me visually how you would like to see it? The reason I've chosen this formatting is because the other lists in the group are in this format; you can see the other lists here: Template:Canadian First Ministers.

Support, all issues resolved. Dabomb87 (talk) 03:57, 14 November 2008 (UTC) [reply]

Comments from Dabomb87 (talk · contribs)

  • "the Canadian Confederation" No "the", per your comment in another FLC.
  • "Since the Northwest Territories has a consensus government, the Premier is elected by and from the members of the Legislative Assembly, and are not divided into parties." "Since"-->Because.
  • "The Northwest Territories has had several Lieutenant Governors, Commissioners, and Premiers as its head of government since 1870. It was led by three of Manitoba's Lieutenant Governors, two of its own Lieutenant Governors, two Chairmen of the Executive Committee, and ten appointed governing commissioners." I think the first sentence is redundant and vague because the second sentence provides the same information as the first and goes into more detail.
  • "Prior to 1994"-->Before 1994...
  • Ref 3 needs the format=PDF field entered. Dabomb87 (talk) 03:48, 14 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • Notice - I just did a major rewrite to the intro and took out half of the names on the list, so those who supported before might want to double-check that I didn't ruin anything. --Arctic Gnome (talk • contribs) 03:32, 16 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
