• curprev 17:1117:11, 4 April 2024‎ Jcejhay talk contribs‎ 45,216 bytes −5‎ →‎The movies and The New Yorker call: The word "call" in the section heading seemed unnecessary and misleading. undo

• curprev 17:0517:05, 4 April 2024‎ Jcejhay talk contribs‎ 45,206 bytes −13‎ →‎Early professional career: More likely Leacock was based then in Montreal than Toronto (again, no source listed for any of this), but in any case unnecessary to specify the city. undo
• curprev 17:0217:02, 4 April 2024‎ Jcejhay talk contribs‎ 45,219 bytes −28‎ →‎Early professional career: This Leacock paragraph needs a source.
