[edit]Please do not add original research or novel syntheses of published material to articles as you apparently did to David Orlikow. Please cite a reliable source for all of your contributions. Thank you. Romartus Imperator (talk) 20:48, 11 May 2020 (UTC)
- I only added a small reference to David Orlikow archives (i.e. original papers created or maintened by Orlikow). This is not original research or novel synthesis. This can be verified easily by looking at this database: http://www.collectionscanada.gc.ca/lac-bac/recherche/arch. I did not add a link to this as URL for specific item in this database are not permanent. LAC-BAC-POL (talk) 21:12, 11 May 2020 (UTC)
Archives
[edit]When you add an archive from Library and Archives Canada, please add it to the external links section in the way I did (example). With your current format, people cannot access it without checking the citation. One minor formatting note about Wikipedia, unlike academic works, the punctuation goes before the citation, not after.

- Thank you for your comments. I am following this guide: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:The_Wikipedia_Library/Cultural_Professionals . Section 8 says adding a link to collection in the external links section of an article should only happen if other options are exhausted. I am happy to follow your suggestions for articles on political parties, but other formats may work better in other circumstances.
