Wikipedia talk:Featured topics/Canadian election timelines

Working definition

The working definition for this one is pretty clear, "federal, provincial and territorial Canadian election timelines".--Pharos 23:58, 12 June 2007 (UTC)

Vital improvements

This is a "perfect" featured topic (all featured except Nunavut, which is not featurable). It meets current criteria perfectly well, and no changes are necessary to maintain status.--Pharos 23:58, 12 June 2007 (UTC)

Potential improvements

A couple of the provincial articles have red links for old elections, such as List of Newfoundland and Labrador general elections and List of Prince Edward Island general elections (post-Confederation); ideally, someone should try to write articles for these. Of course all of the articles should be updated whenever there are new elections in Canada.--Pharos 23:58, 12 June 2007 (UTC)

Possible additions

The scope seems to be quite complete under a Canada-as-federal-government-that-emerged-in-1867 definition. Possible additions could be List of elections in the Province of Canada and other election timelines outside of federal Canada, such as pre-1949 Newfoundland.--Pharos 23:58, 12 June 2007 (UTC)

List of federal by-elections in Canada and List of snap elections in Canada could be added to the topic as-is - rst20xx (talk) 21:03, 4 July 2008 (UTC)

Additionally, this could be expanded into several other larger topics:

• Elections in Canada and Municipal elections in Canada could be added as overarching articles
• ...And Canadian electoral system, Canada Elections Act, Electronic voting in Canada, Section Three of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, Section Four of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, Municipal elections in Canada and Alberta Senate nominee elections could form part of a bigger Elections in Canada topic
• List of Canadian federal electoral districts, Historical federal electoral districts of Canada] and the latter's subarticles could form a related topic
• Referenda in Canada could be added to a tweaked topic, or act as the main article to another topic
• What about Canadian federal election results in Ottawa?
• List of Canadian federal parliaments could be added to a tweaked topic as the "results" of the elections

Could also add Canadian federal election results (1867-1879), Canadian federal election results (1880-1899), Canadian federal election results (1900-1919), Canadian federal election results (1920-1939), Canadian federal election results (1940-1959), Canadian federal election results (1960-1979), Canadian federal election results (1980-1999) and Canadian federal election results (2000-) - or maybe these could be merged into Canadian federal election results since 1867? rst20xx (talk) 14:58, 3 August 2008 (UTC)

Audited articles

Due to a change in the featured topic criteria, the Canadian election timelines featured topic has 3 months to satisfy criterion 3.c. by getting a peer review done for the audited article in the topic: List of Nunavut general elections. Rreagan007 (talk) 04:14, 12 October 2008 (UTC)

List of Nunavut general elections has now undergone a peer review. Consequently, I have updated the topic box's status accordingly. Tompw (talk) (review) 12:28, 2 November 2008 (UTC)
