Hello to all fellow Wikipedians. GoodDay 22:40, 17 November 2005 (UTC).

This user has been on Misplaced Pages for 19 years, 1 month and 16 days.

You may be wondering why my archives only start at August 2007. The reason: I didn't archive my pages before that date, I merely deleted them (as I didn't know how to archive). Therefore, if anyone wishes to see material before August 2007? check out this talkpage's 'history'.

This is a Premier of British Columbia and we need to provide much more content about his political life, views, statements, etc Normally, Premiers of a Province have much more relevant information listed about them. I will cite Premier Doug Ford of Ontario, https://en.wikipedia.org/Doug_Ford

This article contains much more details about his early life, early involvement in politics, political positions, statements made, and controversies. Please also see Gov. Andrew Cuomo of New York's Wiki article for reference, https://en.wikipedia.org/Andrew_Cuomo

I have added in a "controversies" section to discuss one of the most contentious and politically charged issues in the Province of British Columbia's history, the British Columbia Back to School Plan, one which has been discussed and featured daily all over the news in BC. We also need to add in something to discuss Mr. Horgan's political stances on issues such as the Trans Mountain pipeline, etc. Recently, Mr. Horgan reached out to Ryan Reynolds and asked for his help to convince the province's young to stop partying due to the spread of COVID-19. Topics such as this should be covered in this article as well.

I have tried to seek consensus however no one is posting in the talk section. They are simply reverting changes when I am trying to expand on an article about a political figure, presiding over a Province in Canada, during the COVID-19 pandemic. Rather than reverting changes, people should be contributing additional information and context. No one has provided any valid reason as to why these changes were undone and if anything, they should be expanding on this article, not taking away. Again, I am open to discussing on here and seeing how we can work together to expand on this important article. In fact, I would welcome as much help in this regard as possible. — Preceding unsigned comment added by VirtualVisionary (talk • contribs) 00:11, 16 August 2020 (UTC)

Per WP:BRD get a consensus for what you want on that article's talkpage. You can't be forcing your changes onto articles. GoodDay (talk) 00:15, 16 August 2020 (UTC)

Have a good day

August

Sunflowers in Walsdorf

Seeing your name on my watchlist, and last with "frustrating" in the edit summary, makes me come over to wish you a good day. What do you think about my New Year's resolutions, top of my talk? - I should perhaps add: avoid frustrating topics. I love the talk of Fylbecatulous, a refuge I sometimes seek. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 17:00, 18 August 2020 (UTC)

The pro-establishment Democratic tilt to the Trump & Biden articles, is disgusting. CNN & MSNBC news are being treated as the 'only' reliable sources, while Fox news & independent news gets brushed aside. One only needs to go over the CNN/MSNBC analyst coverage of the first night of the 2020 Democratic National Convention to see the bias. CNN/MSNBC have treated M. Obama as though she were a goddess. GoodDay (talk) 17:04, 18 August 2020 (UTC)

Did you look at my - rather general - suggestions? ... and the talk for refuge? ... have some flowers also. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 17:43, 18 August 2020 (UTC)

GoodDay, it's the same in the UK. Sky News have spent the whole day blowing smoke up Michelle Obama's backside, whilst simultaneously ripping the piss out of Trump for not being able to hold his wife's hand down the steps of Airforce 1. The bias is real and very much exists in a supposedly neutral media. Cassianto 19:09, 18 August 2020 (UTC)

Indeed, it's so frustrating seeing mainstream news media attempting to manufacture consent & Wikipedians going along with it. Thus my frustration with the Biden & Trump articles. GoodDay (talk) 19:15, 18 August 2020 (UTC)

Good day today, a first for me today: a featured list (= a featured topic in this case) on the Main page, see Misplaced Pages:Main Page history/2020 August 21, an initiative by Aza24 in memory of Brian. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 13:29, 21 August 2020 (UTC)

The DNC is actually getting JFK's grandson involved?? GoodDay (talk) 18:21, 18 August 2020 (UTC)

you can pronounce it that way if you want. @Secretname101 has been doing thousands of edits in that article in the past couple of days and you didn't complain about THEM. you know damn well that this is in the middle of the event and things are changing so fast that it makes one's head spin. Why pick on me? The charts are awful. I'm just trying to make sure the darn thing makes sense. There's a narrative and it needs to be told in a coherent way...sorry about the accidental delete. Arglebargle79 (talk) 19:33, 18 August 2020 (UTC)

Don't know what you're trying to do to that article, but it's a headache. GoodDay (talk) 20:09, 18 August 2020 (UTC)

Look, I didn't create the charts. They were a lousy idea. @Secretname101 did, and there wasn't a consensus about THAT. What we need is a simple narrative. These are episodes of a TV Show. I called out for consensus on what to do, and nobody seemed to care so I went with it. We need to tare the thing to shreds and start over.Arglebargle79 (talk) 20:19, 18 August 2020 (UTC)

Emperor of Japan

The Japanese constitution names the Emperor of Japan as the Symbol of the State and of the unity of the people, and the wording that makes the emperor the head of state is the symbol of the state. Just because it doesn’t have the wording head of state written in the constitution doesn’t mean he’s not the head of state. DavisAndrew416 (talk) 18:25, 24 August 2020 (UTC)

@DavisAndrew416: nothing wrong with the current images. Anyways, getting tired of this back & forth. GoodDay (talk) 18:40, 24 August 2020 (UTC)

So, what exactly was the point in sending me to this talk page ? DavisAndrew416 (talk) 19:31, 24 August 2020 (UTC)

Use the Head of state article's talkpage. GoodDay (talk) 19:32, 24 August 2020 (UTC)

Styling of "vice-presidential"

Hello, GoodDay (or good evening, as the case may be).

In our work together on the 2020 DNC page I've noticed that you have repeatedly changed certain of my formatting fixes. For example, here you have changed "vice-presidential nominee" to "vice presidential nominee". Since the term is an adjective (and also per MOS:JOBTITLES), the word "vice-presidential" should be hyphenated and lower case. Only when we are talking about "Vice President Mike Pence", without any modification (like "former" or "American") do we use uppercase letters (and for the noun, we leave out the hyphen).

I hope you'll let my changes stand the next time I (or somebody else) may make them. Thanks,— JohnFromPinckney (talk) 02:02, 27 August 2020 (UTC)

@JohnFromPinckney: Do wish that you'd leave out the hyphen, if anything else. But, I don't own the topic. GoodDay (talk) 02:09, 27 August 2020 (UTC)
