Senate of Canada

You reverted Senate of Canada with the edit summary "Still think this version is better at providing an understanding of the Canadian Senate". The edit summary is too vague per WP:SUMMARYNO especially considering 15 edits are being reverted to a five-week old version. Those edits contained edit summaries such as

• ‎Senators: copyedit, rm WP:OR per banner
• Chamber and symbols: WP:EASTER, copyedit, WP:NOT#DICTIONARY, rm WP:OR
• ‎Senators: Fixed formatting issue
• clean up refs, remove some WP:REFBLOAT, much more work needed, many out-of-date refs in the article, etc.
• convert bibliography to proper ref
• ‎Entitlements: add ref'd info

Effectively you are throwing away all of the above because you "think this version is better". If your intention is to improve the article, please redo those edits. --Cornellier (talk) 17:11, 2 October 2018 (UTC)

2018 World Series

Any reason why you moved this back to draftspace? It's clearly ready to go, in my opinion. SportingFlyer talk 23:02, 4 October 2018 (UTC)

SportingFlyer It was never approved to be moved by the draft approvers, and you had said that as much. –Piranha249 23:04, 4 October 2018 (UTC)

@Piranha249: I'd approve it now, but my "approve" button is missing for some reason. Any chance you could revert the move? My frustration in the move discussion was that the move request was the improper way of getting it into mainspace, not that it wasn't ready to go. SportingFlyer talk 23:14, 4 October 2018 (UTC)

OK, I'll go ahead. –Piranha249 23:18, 4 October 2018 (UTC)

Thank you very much! SportingFlyer talk 23:20, 4 October 2018 (UTC)
