Talk:Andrew Scheer

Pinging @Randusk: who made the original change and @Lord Stephenson: who reverted and requested talk page consensus.

Any thoughts on changing the lead image from 1 to a cropped version of 2 (as seen here)?

• In 1, Scheer looks like a child, the quality is grainy, and it's a year older than in 2, so I would prefer 2. WildComet (talk) 08:46, 19 April 2021 (UTC)
• I much prefer 2 as well, not just because it's newer but it's better quality. I will say, however, that photo 2 should be cropped in a 3 by 4 ratio and that cropped picture should be used to fit. Much better than rather than using the original wide image with the "CSS image crop" template. Randusk (talk) 16:19, 19 April 2021 (UTC)

This is a much better photo Ak-eater06 (talk) 01:30, 2 July 2021 (UTC)

Exactly why were there attempts to remove Scheer's birthdate from his article's intro & infobox? GoodDay (talk) 08:01, 10 February 2022 (UTC)

The source seems good enough. Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 09:48, 10 February 2022 (UTC)

User:GoodDay a disruptive editor was trying to use it as an excuse to block me or something. He reported me for reverting his edit but I was not blocked. Ak-eater06 (talk) 14:14, 10 February 2022 (UTC)

You should assume good faith, particularly when talking about a long-standing editor. What evidence is there that he was disruptive? Are you saying that removing unsourced material is disruptive? Instant Comma (talk) 14:36, 10 February 2022 (UTC)

User:Instant Comma so you're telling me I should respect an editor based on his edit count? Hilarious. Ak-eater06 (talk) 16:53, 10 February 2022 (UTC)

No, I am saying that you should assume good faith and have asked what evidence you have to justify your imputation of bad faith, a question you have not answered. Would you be willing to explain why you find my comments amusing? Instant Comma (talk) 19:34, 10 February 2022 (UTC)

@GoodDay: It was an unsourced WP:DOB, which is a particularly sensitive WP:BLP issue. The DOB has since been reliably sourced. Toddst1 (talk) 17:17, 10 February 2022 (UTC)

That was quite a few years, of it being there unsourced. GoodDay (talk) 17:49, 10 February 2022 (UTC)

Yup. I try to clean these up as I come across them. Toddst1 (talk) 03:21, 11 February 2022 (UTC)

Scheer dropped out of UOttawa to work for Larry Spencer, moving to Regina to work in his constituency office. This was years before working at Shenher Insurance, for just 6 months, ahead of himself being elected MP. He needed a new job, after all, because Larry Spencer was booted from the Canadian Alliance caucus; Scheer was a CA loyalist, and knew damn well that Spencer's days as an MP -- and thus, Scheer's paid gig in his office -- were numbered. Oh, and who owns Shenher Insurance? Who else worked there? This article is a farce. 142.126.167.40 (talk) 23:58, 21 July 2024 (UTC)
