I am nominating this for featured list because I believ it meets all the criteria, with good prose, a suitable lead, a comprehensive covering of all items within the defined scope, a simple structure and style, and is stable. This list will need to be updfated every few years as new elections occur, but otherwise the list is stable. Tompw (talk) (review) 18:13, 22 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment "This article provides a summary of..." Featured lists no longer begin like this; please see recently promoted FLs for examples of more engaging intros. Dabomb87 (talk) 19:32, 22 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Resolved comments from The Rambling Man (talk) 08:21, 1 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose quite a bit to do (after a real quick run-through)
  • First sentence sort of leaves me thinking.. "So?". Perhaps say how often they're held or something like that?
  • "For elections prior to 1999 covering the area that is now Nunavut, see list of Northwest Territories general elections." don't generally do this, perhaps try a clever(ish) way of wording it so you can pipe-link the other list, or even have it as a "see also"?
  • Why is Legislative Assembly abbreviated to MLA
  • " increase to twenty-three for" - 23.
  • "had been adopted". So they weren't?
  • You mention "Premier" in the caption of the image, but there's no other mention of this post in the entire article.
  • Any reason why the districts are in bold?
  • You need to be consistent with date formats. Firstly, the article itself (in the notes) has both MDY and DMY formats. The references, mainly in ISO, are also missing some "accessdates". But most importantly, don't mix the formats.

Thanks for all the comments. I think I've addressed all of them, plus your implicit comment on formatting some the web references properly. To answer your last question: the district names are row headings, and hence should be emphasised. (See e.g. List of Alberta general elections for the same logic applied to a similar article).

  • Refs 9, 10 and 12 need an en-dash, not a hyphen.
  • Not convinced that the districts need to be bold. The List of Alberta general elections is actually in pretty poor shape and could use bringing up to our current standards.

  • Comment There is one dead link; please check the toolbox. Dabomb87 (talk) 14:32, 31 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Comments

  • Ref 1: Who publishes this guide? Is it this? Link to it if that's correct.
  • "There have been nineteen ridings for all elections to date, each electing one Member of the Legislative Assembly (MLA)." Change riding to link to Electoral district (Canada). Also, reword this sentence. Even after finding out what a riding is, it was difficult to understand this sentence.

  • Comment: Footnote D is an incomplete sentence. Ucucha 18:40, 11 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Comments –

  • The lead is relatively short compared to those of most FLs that have come through here lately. Is there a possibility for any more prose?
  • I believe this has been mentioned before, but reference 1 needs a publisher. Don't think the publisher needs an external link, though.
  • Spell out CBC in the references and note H. Giants2008 (27 and counting) 20:15, 11 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
