... that the Canadian government implemented a Peasant Farm Policy forcing First Nations farmers to use the methods of European peasants? Source: https://www.thecanadianencyclopedia.ca/en/article/peasant-farm-policy

- Comment: My first nomination, I think. Sorry in advance if I did something wrong.

Created by Themightyquill (talk). Self-nominated at 09:03, 7 August 2023 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/Peasant Farm Policy; consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.[reply]

New enough and long enough. Nominator is QPQ-exempt. Hook fact checks out. Earwig is catching a quote and several of the work titles in the Further Reading section. I do wish this had more than three sources, and I'd recommend beefing that part up, but it should pass, Themightyquill. Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 18:20, 13 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Themightyquill: @Sammi Brie: I looked at reviewing this too, and also thought that more sources should be used. The Hildebrandt book is fully available at OpenLibrary, maybe some of the others mentioned as further reading are as well. Wasted Time R (talk) 12:25, 14 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Sammi Brie and Wasted Time R: Thanks for your helpful comments and suggestions. I've added some additional references and details. -- Themightyquill (talk) 19:25, 14 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Great start, but Themightyquill, now the paragraph ending in Rather, they should begin with agriculture akin to that used by European peasants. needs an inline citation. Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 19:32, 14 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Also Themightyquill note that the Hildebrandt book and Sarah Carter chapter entries should be removed from "Further reading", now that they are being used as cites in the text itself. Wasted Time R (talk) 23:13, 14 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Done -- Themightyquill (talk) 21:41, 8 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

This is now ready. Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 21:48, 8 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
