French
Don't you people think that these userboxes should have both english and french on it? I know there is a french one but I think a bilingual would be more Canadien.

I noticed a userbox next to the one of Saskatchewan that was for author Steven King. Evidently, the name of the userbox was SK, the postal abbreviation for thaty province. Should that userbox be deleted? Does anyone know the name of the userbox that should go in its place, to mirror all the other provinces?--

I removed the userbox from the page, because it's about an author, and not about Saskatchewan. Users from Saskatchewan (including myself) will have to live with the other box. -

Political parties
I don't know where the proper place to post this notice would be, I am hoping that anyone who cares is watching this page. I am thinking that with all the political party's userboxes, it may be better to consolidate them all into one, in order to standardize them, a short parameter would be used to select your party. Thoughts?

I'm going to have to disagree. I'm sorry I wasn't watching this page, but consolidating them isn't the best idea. And there's really no consensus that way.

Part of the reason I disagree is there are wording differences and artistic differences between your user boxes and some of the ones the original users created.

Like I said above, I think that they should all be the same size, for consistency. Christian Heritage and Pirate were not included because they do not have provincial equivalents, so I didn't see the point, but I did leave a note that I could add more if others wanted more. Alberta Alliance has been dissolved, and the box isn't being used. The PEI party names are incorrect. The Yukon Party colour is yellow, not blue, I didn't include it in the documentation, but you can make it blue by entering YT|PC. I didn't include Cavenba's because I just wanted to standardize the icon ones. I did not remove any that did not have a replacement.

It seems to be you're targeting only one set of user boxes for replacement, and that's not fair. While I think yours should stay, so should those of the other contributors.

They can, I just think that there isn't much difference. If you want on your user page a bolded party that doesn't exist anymore, I can't stop you.

To show my own good faith, I'm spreading this page around and using {{Wikipedia:Userboxes/Location/Canada}} to replace older lists of Canadian politics user boxes. I like your idea in general.

I haven't started replacing the old ones with the new one yet. I removed the old ones from this list so that users wouldn't add them for the time being.

But there's no reason they can't peacefully co-exist on the same page. If they were the same, I might agree. They're not. Even with removing the old ones from the page, it could take months or longer for the new ones to find adopters. Let the user decide.
