Capitalization in infoboxes

I don't understand why you keep uncapitalizing the word "Mayor" in Patrick Johnstone's infobox. There is no other Canadian politician that I am aware of in-which their official post is not capitalized in the infobox, regardless of there being a numeric prefix or not. See anyone in Category:Mayors of Vancouver, Category:Mayors of Toronto Category:Premiers of British Columbia, Category:Prime ministers of Canada, as examples. Even outside of Canada on pages that likely see more scrutiny on English Wikipedia such as presidents of the United States articles or prime ministers of the United Kingdom articles, the post title is still always capitalized in the infobox. Your interpretation of MOS:JOBTITLES may techincally be the correct one, but there's a clear standard here. Even the examples used in MOS:JOBTITLES (Richard Nixon, Theresa May, and Louis XVI) all have their positions capitalized in their infoboxes. It appears there has been a universally accepted exception MOS:JOBTITLES when it comes to the infobox. Maybe bring it up on the Canadian Wikipedians' notice board or start an RfC.

I don't need to bring it up on a project page or start an RfC—I'm following our guidelines. If other articles don't follow guidelines, then that's on those articles' editors. We don't move further away from the guidelines because other pages aren't following them; there would be no point in guidelines if that was a legitimate practice.
Barring something with consensus that says "JOBTITLES doesn't hold for infoboxes", "38th mayor of [blank]" should not be capitalized. —Joeyconnick (talk) 04:34, 14 March 2026 (UTC)
I would invite you to try a similar edit on Mark Carney's article and see how long it takes before it is reverted. RedBlueGreen93 22:11, 14 March 2026 (UTC)

Template: Time zones in Canada

Thank you for your comments in that talk page.

The root problem is "WTF is BC doing calling it 'Pacific Time'? " While some may want to pigeon hole it as "Mountain Time", I don't know of anyone in Canada that calls BC's time "Mountain Time". Zero, not even once.

Assistance?

What is going on here? See Mountain Time Zone. British Columbia is green on the map. BC is not on Mountain Time, at least the vast majority of it outside of the little corner next to Alberta.

How can we fix this map? I have also asked a few others who might understand this problem. Vanguard10 (talk) 20:35, 20 March 2026 (UTC)

I think the issue is that because BC is now UTC-7 year-round, some people are interpreting that as being in the Mountain Time Zone. Effectively it is, if we consider time zones as purely the offset. I don't agree it should be visually described as being in Mountain (I see time zones as more geographically linked than purely UTC offset—linked) or described as part of Mountain in words, either (unless they're saying something like "which is effectively equivalent to year-found MST") but I think we're still waiting for consensus. We also need to figure out if BC's use of "Pacific Time" will catch on. —Joeyconnick (talk) 22:50, 20 March 2026 (UTC)

Calum Worthy

"Short films need their own articles or citation for inclusion" - But most of the films listed on his Wikipedia page doesn't have existing articles and all but one has no reference citations. So I'm honestly confused in understanding your reasoning for reverting my edit to begin with? -Prince Silversaddle (talk) 04:54, 28 March 2026 (UTC)

Short films require citation. Full-length films do not. WP:NFILMJoeyconnick (talk) 05:01, 28 March 2026 (UTC)

Summaries for Monarch

Hi Joey,

I noticed you put a Too long description for the episodes for Monarch Legacy of Monsters S2. I may be able to assist with that as long as you let me know what the max word count is. NarutoSan6000 (talk) 22:07, 3 April 2026 (UTC)

MOS:TVPLOT: should be 200 words or less 🙂 —Joeyconnick (talk) 22:13, 3 April 2026 (UTC)
Thanks. Will get to it as soon as possible. NarutoSan6000 (talk) 22:17, 3 April 2026 (UTC)
Cool... thanks for helping! —Joeyconnick (talk) 22:18, 3 April 2026 (UTC)
You're welcome! NarutoSan6000 (talk) 22:25, 3 April 2026 (UTC)
Ok so I've managed to shorten some of the plots (specifically the modern day ones). Let me know if it's good. NarutoSan6000 (talk) 22:31, 3 April 2026 (UTC)

A barnstar for you!

The Original Barnstar
Hi! I just wanted to say thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia—especially your work on the binge-watching page, I really appreciate it. I’m relatively new to editing Wikipedia, and if you ever have a chance, I’d really appreciate any feedback on my article Comfort television, but no worries at all!
