List of Justices of the Supreme Court of Canada edit

Looks like it meets the FL requirements. --Arctic Gnome 04:58, 30 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Support as nominator. --Arctic Gnome 05:01, 30 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose - lead is too short. Renata 07:01, 30 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- It's longer now. --Arctic Gnome 17:40, 13 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
~~Oppose~~ - sortable is wierd. Clicking on names sorts them by first name, not last. Clicking on either of the two date columns does something - but I can't figure out what. Anyone know what sort order that gives? Rmhermen 19:22, 1 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- - I figured out the order - just the first letter of the name of the month. Rmhermen 20:20, 1 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- I think that warranted a comment rather than an oppose; it took about five seconds to take out the storability. --Arctic Gnome 19:26, 1 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  - The sorting was useful for those columns where it worked properly. I don't know if it can be used only on some columns or used with sort keys? Rmhermen 20:20, 1 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  - I've never seen sortable tables before a few days ago, so I don't know how to use them. I'll just submit the list without sortability. --Arctic Gnome 18:55, 2 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
    - I've investigated it (m:Help:Sorting) - and the only way to make dates sortable is to enter them in [[YYYY-MM-DD]] format - and to have your date preference unset or set to that format. You cannot sort and display in the common day-month-year or month-day-year formats. And no way to sort by last name of individuals. Best to leave it out until they can fix these sorts of issues.

Support. A good, comprehensive list. A few points: I would agree with Renata about adding more lead if I could think of what more would be helpful (but I can't at the moment). There are some inconsistencies with the length hyphens. Lastly, as seen on the list in Supreme Court of Canada article, there is some dispute about whether we should say that a Prime Minister appoints or whether the Gov Gen appoints on recommendation of the PM. The latter approach to me seems to split hairs, but perhaps they are hairs in need of splitting. --PullUpYourSocks 23:31, 4 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- The lead just has to give enough information so that everything in the list makes sense. Basically, what they are, what the chief is, and how they are chosen (including who appoints them, what qualifications they need, and how long they can stay in power). As for the "Appointed by" column, I think having the PMs is more useful information, but then we have to replace the words "appointed by" with something else (maybe "chosen by"). --Arctic Gnome 23:48, 4 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Object. The list needs a longer lead, at leats a paragraph long. CG 14:06, 9 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- It's longer now. --Arctic Gnome 17:40, 13 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Comment. I'll extend this nomination a couple days to give you enough time to extend the lead. -- Rune.welsh | ταλκ 20:33, 10 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Thanks, I'll have that done by the end of the day. --Arctic Gnome 17:54, 11 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
