Flag image size

[edit]

Can I ask what the reasoning is behind making the flag picture 201 pixels as opposed to 200? If there's some significant purpose to this, all the pages on Canadian Lieutenant Governors will have to be changed. --G2bambino 19:05, 23 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I've moved this to User talk:Denelson83#Flag image size --G2bambino 19:07, 23 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Historical standard

[edit]

User:Fry1989 has insisted (only in the edit summaries of his reverts that should have, according to WP:BRD, stopped after my first one) that the now defunct personal standard of the Lieutenant Governor of Ontario is "relevant" to this article, but has not explained why. The article makes no mention of the lieutenant govenror's past standards, nor is there room in this short article; hence, I moved the image to the more pertinent Flags of the Lieutenant-Governors of Canada. Perhaps Fry1989 could now elaborate on the necessity of this image on the page. --Ħ MIESIANIACAL 01:55, 29 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

MIESIANIACAL is being rediculous on this matter. First of all, his claim that "there's no room" is beyond incorrect. The page is not crowded by adding this single image, when in total it only has 5. Second, there is a history section, and just because it doesn't mention the historical standard by name, that's no reason for it not to be shown in the history section. Fry1989 (talk) 02:28, 29 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
You haven't answered the question: of what purpose is this image that does indeed crowd the page? As I stated, there is no text about the flag for the image to illustrate. --Ħ MIESIANIACAL 15:50, 29 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
This image has been inserted in the article via tenacious bullying rather than rational reasoning, but I relinquish my opposition; it's just not worth the time and effort. --Ħ MIESIANIACAL 16:01, 29 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
The history section discusses the history of the office, therefore the historical standard is of relevance. Juts cause you can't find any true reason for opposition, don't try and escape by saying it's not worth your time. Fry1989 (talk) 17:16, 29 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Emblem and standard

[edit]

Is there any good reason why the Ontario LG's emblem should not be updated to match the one made public on their website? The Office of the Lieutenant Governor has sent me the SVG file to be used on Wikipedia, and the SVG for the standard is on the way. Jagislaqroo (talk) 15:49, 10 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Frankly, I don't see what the difference is between the two files. But, the main issue is the one you inserted is not a copyright-free image. The one from Commons is. We have to always use free images over copyrighted ones when a free equivalent is available. --Ħ MIESIANIACAL 16:28, 10 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Well I can see the difference, but that's irrelevant. We have free versions on Commons, they should be used in favour of a non-free equivalent. Fry1989 eh? 04:17, 18 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Request for Comment: Should the term "viceroy" be used as a synonym for "Governor General" or "Lieutenant Governor" in articles on Canadian government?

[edit]

I have started an RfC on this question at Talk:Governor General of Canada. All comments welcome. --Mr Serjeant Buzfuz (talk) 14:31, 20 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
