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 19 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'.

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)
