James Teit I think it's James A. Teit but I don't know what the A. is. That's not literary, but anthropology/history, though
there's already an article on Malcolm Lowry, which I haven't looked at, but it might be one worth BC-ifying a bit, or checking over or adding details
Norman Morrison (ship) - figures prominently in early BC history as the mail ship from the UK and also, I think, the one that brought the first load of wives-to-be-married in the days when BC society was extremely "homosocial" (8:1 or 10:1 male:female within the non-native population). This would also be a collaboration with WP Australia, where the same vessel was one of the main ships for immigration; if you google ""Norman Morrison" ship" that's what mostly will come up. The existing Norman Morrison article is about a US journalist of note.
Glanworth, Ontario - (Currently redirects to Westminster, Middlesex County, Ontario). Moved here from Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Glanworth, Ontario, Canada - Middlesex County. Information there stated, "I suggest a small article on a town south of London, Ontario, called Glanworth. It is not a large town but is approx 150 years old, and has a colourful history that is worth reading. The town's history will help to share information about the county, southwestern ontario, etc."

Beer parlour (Canada) - the current Beer parlour link goes to a section on Pub that's only about UK history.....I'm not sure this term was ever used in Eastern Canada (meaning east of the Great Lakes ;-) ). or that it was used even in Alberta, where like Ontario and Quebec et al "Tavern" is more usual for the same thing....in BC and I think Manitoba these were always called beer parlours though the neon sign generally said "Licensed premises" and there was a "Men Only" and "Ladies and Escort Entrance"; in latter years there was no divider in the room like there was earlier. "Lounge" was where you could get highballs and cocktails; beer parlours were only beer (and tomato juice).
