The Canadian bio infoboxes tend to use ''city-province/territory'' & the American bio infoboxes tend to use ''city-state''. It's not an overly big deal when British bio infoboxes use ''city-constituent country''. ] (]) 17:10, 19 January 2016 (UTC)

	I've reverted to ], in which you removed a comma after the date "November 9, 1964".

	:As I understand it, the president nominates the person for judgeship or the Supreme Court & the nominee has to be confirmed by the US Senate, before he/she can assume that post. It's due to seperation of powers. I had to fix up the few SC bios that had '''appointed''' in them, as the rest used '''nominated'''.

US cabinet nominees

Well @Corkythehornetfan: & @Muboshgu:. I've tried to uphold the 2018 RFC on infoboxes, concerning cabinet nominees in the US. But it was a fight to do so in 2020-21 & is again 2024-25. I'm giving up. GoodDay (talk) 22:17, 13 November 2024 (UTC)

Thank you

Thank you for your advice and knoweldge. Your kindness is greatly appreciated in a world that is often so unkind.

Changing intros to election pages

@Surtsicna: if you want to propose (at WP:CANADA) removing bold titles from the intros of all Canadian federal, provincial, territorial, municipal (etc) elections? I'll support such a proposal. It's highly likely, your views will eventually be adopted across Misplaced Pages, concerning all election pages. GoodDay (talk) 22:06, 26 November 2024 (UTC)

Thanks. I will consider it. Surtsicna (talk) 22:21, 26 November 2024 (UTC)
