Trivia (aka, Jeff)
edit@Ak-eater06: There is nothing that I can find in MOS:TRIVIA or WP:HTRIVIA that suggests that this reliably sourced information should be removed on those grounds. It is integrated into prose in a relevant section of the article without distracting from it. ― "Ghost of Dan Gurney" (talk) 04:44, 17 December 2023 (UTC)
- If he intentionally went by another name that might be relevant, but how do we know this wasn't just a typo/mistake by the person who prepared the programme?--Darryl Kerrigan (talk) 08:58, 17 December 2023 (UTC)
- Jeff has been discussed in the media - example. It's the name his birth mother would have given him. It doesn't seem particularly relevant - but mind you neither does half the trivial detail here (paperboy??? wrestling team???) Nfitz (talk) 21:08, 20 July 2024 (UTC)
Trans rights
editPierre Poilievre wants sports, bathroom ban for trans women
And mainstream media coverage of the Conservative Party of Canada leader’s announcement failed to get it right

- I'm not sure how that relates to this wiki article. Can you elaborate? Masterhatch (talk) 00:03, 25 February 2024 (UTC)
- He is a politician ... and these are some of his political views? Maurnxiao (talk) 12:05, 30 June 2024 (UTC)
- He’s also said it’s a provincial issue and will leave it to the provinces to decide.
- His position on an issue, and if he plans to do something about it are two very different things. 24.222.127.250 (talk) 20:09, 30 March 2024 (UTC)
Image
editThe current image looks goofy and unprofessional for a politician. (To be clear: I'm not proposing a change because I want to promote Poilievre; I just think the current image doesn't match the other party leaders. Trudeau, Singh, May, and Blanchet all have fairly serious-looking lead images). I think this image (right) is more serious and neutral-looking.
Cremastra (talk) 18:32, 22 August 2024 (UTC)
- Finding an unaltered non-goofy image of post-makeover Poilievre is difficult, especially the unaltered part. I think we should go with his current look as best we can.
- I don't think Trudeau's photo is complimentary, either, given his expression. G. Timothy Walton (talk) 19:33, 22 August 2024 (UTC)
- Trudeau's image can be easily changed, as his office releases bunch of videos under ccby on YouTube. Finding free images of Poilievre is much harder. ARandomName123 (talk)Ping me! 02:15, 23 August 2024 (UTC)
- @ARandomName123 @G. Timothy Walton: > File:Pierre Poilievre interview with TVA Nouvelles June 2024 (cropped).jpg isn't the highest quality but does show his new "look" (new glasses, smirking) Cremastra (talk) 21:00, 18 September 2024 (UTC)
- I was just going through that same channel a couple of days ago, and snipped File:Poilievre-2024-Saguenay.png, but the quality is even worse than yours. However, the quality of your picture isn't really that noticeable once it's shrunk to infobox size. Facial expression isn't my favorite though, but other than that I think it's fine.

- The pic you tried adding is FAR worse than the current one. Masterhatch (talk) 02:00, 17 December 2024 (UTC)
- How do we feel about the following three photos snipped from recent TVA Nouvelles uploads? On a side note, it's getting absurd how TVA Nouvelles videos seem to be the only source of freely licensed photos of this guy.

- The resolution is worse with all three of those. Again, while the current pic isn't the best, it's better than those three. Masterhatch (talk) 02:39, 17 December 2024 (UTC)
- Yea, that's true. Unless someone actually goes and take a picture of him, instead of us just taking screenshots from Youtube videos, we're not going to be able to beat the current resolution. ARandomName123 (talk)Ping me! 02:46, 17 December 2024 (UTC)
- I guess we stick to the current pic for the time being. Masterhatch (talk) 03:12, 17 December 2024 (UTC)
- Resolution does not trump all other considerations, such as recognizability and encyclopedic value. The current picture does not show Polievre in a serious, professional setting, which makes him less recognizable, since he is a politician and that is his element. It also, well, looks goofy. Cremastra ‹ u — c › 20:40, 17 December 2024 (UTC)
- @Masterhatch I mean, our current lead picture of Justin Trudeau is very low resolution compared to File:Justin Trudeau March 5 2024 (cropped).jpg. But it has merits that outweigh its resolution. Cremastra ‹ u — c › 20:42, 17 December 2024 (UTC)
- Resolution aside, those three pics are still worse than the current one. The 1st of the three looks like the pic is of him caught mid word, the 2nd looks like he's about to kiss someone, and the 3rd looks like he has an IQ of 3. So until a better pic comes along, we stick with the current. Masterhatch (talk) 20:48, 17 December 2024 (UTC)
- I actually think the third one looks quite natural. The second one, I agree, is weird-looking. Cremastra ‹ u — c › 20:50, 17 December 2024 (UTC)
- That's probably due when I chose to snip the photo. The last one was before he started speaking, while the other two were during speaking. I would've preferred all of them with his mouth closed, but the first two were press conferences of some sort, and it's hard trying to find a frame where his face is facing the camera, he's not blinking, and his mouth is closed.

Opinion polling
editWatch for biased language when editing this page please. Whether that's biased for or against him, your own political opinion should not bias this article. Melasaoirse (talk) 16:29, 25 September 2024 (UTC)
- You removed a source that actually talked about the Tories and Pierre and replaced it with a source that had nothing to do with the price of beer. Masterhatch (talk) 16:38, 25 September 2024 (UTC)
