Hi WatkynBassett, thought you might be interested in an article I recently expanded: Preamble to the Constitution Act, 1867. I don’t see any potential there for DYK, but might try for GA at some point. Hope all’s well. Mr Serjeant Buzfuz (talk) 05:48, 9 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi! I really admire your work on the Constitution Act! One day we will hopefully have a Wikipedia where you can access such high quality information on all the provisions of the constitutions of the world! Keep up the great work! WatkynBassett (talk) 12:32, 14 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
