Edit the line for Shannon Boschy to remove "anti-trans and anti-critical-race-theory activist".

While these allegations seem to be accurate according to Mr. Boschy's statements, no other candidate has any negative attributes associated with them on this page. Alternatively, other candidates' issues could be listed for the sake of balance. 173.71.190.20 (talk) 22:34, 12 July 2022 (UTC)

 Done I removed it as the cited tweets didn't support it, and we should be using secondary sources, not interpreting tweets from unverified accounts. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 22:54, 12 July 2022 (UTC)

Gregory Guevara (Jreg)

Jreg has (possibly on purpose) created a potential case of WP:CITOGENESIS in his Tweet, in which he responds to an unsourced statement that was in this article at one time. Remember that statements of whether his campaign is a joke or not need to be reliably sourced just like everything else in Wikipedia, and remember that self-sourced statements, including from tweets, are acceptable for statements only concerning the subject itself.

Change the order of candidates in OCDSB Zone 6 to the order shown on the Ottawa Nominations Page. Order was previously in the order of people who entered as shown in citation 22, it appears someone boosted Shannon Boschy to the top. All other list of candidates are in order of date submitted.Keithdsl (talk) 05:46, 20 August 2022 (UTC)

 Not done: The standard election candidate listing on Wikipedia is done in alphabetical order by last name of the candidate, which is already the case here. —CX Zoom[he/him] ^{(let's talk • {C•X})} 06:09, 20 August 2022 (UTC)

@CX Zoom:, help an ignorant editor out and, please, point me to wherever it says that? In the MOS somewhere maybe? Joe (talk) 03:49, 21 August 2022 (UTC)

@JoePhin: Yep, per MOS:LISTORG: Although lists may be organized in different ways, they must always be organized. The most basic form of organization is alphabetical or numerical. Since there hasn't been a election-specific rule for listing, the general rule holds. —CX Zoom[he/him] ^{(let's talk • {C•X})} 05:59, 21 August 2022 (UTC)

Thanks! That's just what I wanted. Joe (talk) 21:51, 21 August 2022 (UTC)

Endorsement list question on format

I noticed that endorsement tables were made, and that they included every candidate in a given ward. I followed that same format and did some tables for other wards, except I thought about something that I thought I should ask here first. Should it be the standard that an endorsement table should only have candidates that have endorsements, rather than having a bunch of blanks from the minor candidates, and should we only add a candidate to one if they get a major endorsement? It would save on space on the page. CJJ400 (talk) 14:13, 21 August 2022 (UTC)

I'd prefer all of the endorsements were moved to their own section. Each ward section is going to look awfully crowded and repetitive once the results are added in.-- Earl Andrew - talk 14:45, 21 August 2022 (UTC)

I concur. I had initially just added them to a few just to try and remove clutter, but if the consensus is moving them all to their own section, then I see no reason not to. Fulserish (talk) 18:31, 21 August 2022 (UTC)

I moved them to their own section! I'm liking how it looks, anyone can add a ward and table, or expand upon a table with another candidate once they get endorsed. Though something else crossed my mind...

Should we get rid of the Nominated candidates titles under each ward? As it's now obvious that all these candidates are nominated?

Furthermore, the 2018 election page only has a statement that an incumbent is/isn't under it's ward title when an incumbent *isn't* running, yet on our page we have "they will run for re-election" lines and also their previous vote percentage. As the first matter is evident by just looking at the candidate list, and the second is evident as we will use a results template that includes a "swing" of their percentage, will we need to have either of these lines for candidates who are running again? I would keep them for people who are not running again though, as their vote share and announcement would explain them not being on the ballot. CJJ400 (talk) 02:54, 22 August 2022 (UTC)

In the section for Ottawa-Carleton District School Board Trustee, Zone 4 - Bay/Kitchissippi, one candidate is missing.

Rasha Alnaqeeb

Their name can be found on the Ottawa City website (if that anchor doesn't work, then expand "Candidates for School Board Trustee - Ottawa-Carleton District School Board" and scroll to Zone 4

Some other discrepancies I noticed from your listing:

Thomas deGroot is a Zone 2 candidate (not Zone 1 as you have listed)

Zone 9: Additional Candidate - Josh Rachlis

Zone 11: Two additional Candidates - Ryan St-Jean - Maher Jebara

Zone 12: Additional Candidate - Cathryne Milburn 174.93.52.16 (talk) 12:43, 22 August 2022 (UTC)

GeneralNuisance0 (talk) 19:58, 22 August 2022 (UTC)

"Forcibly" is not accurate according to the campaign site.

Once fully nationalized, we will happily Ottawannex any willing neighbouring municipalities. If Gatineau wants to be Ottawa, they can be! The end goal is to eventually annex all of Canada, with Ottawa as its new capital.

The keyword is "willing". MarshallKe (talk) 23:41, 24 August 2022 (UTC)
