Related discussion at WP:NORN[edit]There is now a discussion at WP:NORN here about the related article 2021 Canadian church burnings Elinruby (talk) 18:54, 1 July 2024 (UTC) Residential school related edits[edit]We are going to need a few more editors familiar with our residential school situation to make sure the editor here, although enthusiastic and seeming well intentioned (although others have expressed a different view) is dominating these articles. They are clearly not familiar with Canadian sources or any academic sources on the topic..... although all can contribute the sensitive nature of this topic requires some basic knowledge and understanding of the sources that are reliable. Good example of the the time sink others have been dealing with can be seen at Wikipedia:No original research/Noticeboard#2021 Canadian church burnings. I think I should step away for a bit after my less than cordial last response to them see here. Moxy🍁 21:41, 3 July 2024 (UTC) Moxy Yeah it was less than cordial but I am more concerned about the aspersion-laden inappropriate canvassing here. But fine. I will go back to re-adding journal references removed in the recent gutting of the articles. You can go on believing that children did not die of tuberculosis in residential schools as long as you stop interfering with that being restored to the article.Elinruby (talk) 02:29, 4 July 2024 (UTC)
OK Moxy. If you do not want to read, please stop interfering with the in-progress remediation of misrepresented sources and allow those who are willing to read the sources to fix the problem. If you do not understand what is going on that is one thing. If you refuse to deal with the actual sources because they are TL;DR, there really is nothing else to say. Further disruption will be dealt with as such. If anyone else would like to help with the situation, there is a lot of checking that needs to be done and I will be delighted to get some help.

Any change to reflect this would impact the Premier of Quebec, Deputy Premier of Quebec, all Quebec cabinet ministers, etc. past and current. Should the honorific be removed from the relevant articles to reflect this? I'd also note that the webpage also states that no mayor in Quebec uses the honorific His/Her Worship as well. – Handoto (talk) 19:30, 24 July 2024 (UTC) Wikiproject[edit]Would anyone be interested in joining a sub project of WP:Anthropology on oral tradition?

South Slave Divisional Education Council[edit]Could someone look at South Slave Divisional Education Council#Recognition and check which of those seem encyclopaedic? I've removed the unsourced ones but I don't think the list needs to be that long. I'd leave the ones that either have a linked award or awarding body.

The first paragraph shows how it's correctly all-capitalized with an ® symbol at the end, but the page title isn't consistent. Realtors Association of Edmonton should be REALTORS® Association of Edmonton Thanks all. Mazshan (talk) 22:18, 30 July 2024 (UTC)
Alleged sexual abuse complicity Alice Munro[edit]Looking for more input at Talk:Alice Munro#Alleged sexual abuse complicity Moxy🍁 10:45, 2 August 2024 (UTC) Hi everyone - please keep an eye on Brantford. An IP has been trying to add something about a cat named Minky, and I've just reverted it for the 3rd time today. The IP has been warned. PKT(alk) 15:40, 3 August 2024 (UTC)
Requested move at Talk:Sleeman Centre (Guelph)#Requested move 29 July 2024[edit]Bennett Lake - conflicting areas[edit]Bennett Lake, Yukon has apparently equally reliable sources that disagree about the area of the lake. Sinclair (2023) gives 9068 ha [90.68 km²], while Millar (2012) gives 96.8km². Almost certainly one is a typo for the other, but I haven't found any sources independent of these two to check which is correct. Can anyone help? Thryduulf (talk) 12:30, 8 August 2024 (UTC)

Event Wikimedia Canada[edit]Moxy🍁 05:16, 22 August 2024 (UTC) 2024 Canada railroad shutdown[edit]Just thought I'd bring attention to the article on the 2024 Canada railroad shutdown - it's currently barely a stub, and it's an important current Canadian event that needs a lot of work done on its article.

would appreciate some more eyes on Conservative Party of British Columbia[edit]Hi everyone, it couldn't hurt to have some more eyes on Conservative Party of British Columbia as their rapid rise has led to a lot of editing, some by apparently inexperienced editors. thanks. Dan Carkner (talk) 19:49, 30 August 2024 (UTC) Party template edit needed[edit]Can someone please edit {{Canadian party colour|BC|Labor-Progressive|row-name}} so that the row name produced is actually Labor-Progressive instead of Labour Progressive? In the mid-20th century spelling labour without a u - as labor - was actually considered progressive (which is why we have the Australian Labor Party instead of the Australian Labour Party even though Australia otherwise uses -our suffixes). Accordingly, the Labor-Progressive Party in Canada and British Columbia spelled its name without a 'u'. I can't figure out how to fix the mistake in the BC LPP row name. Wellington Bay (talk) 09:54, 31 August 2024 (UTC)
Sons of Butcher[edit]I've initiated a merge discussion at Talk:Sons of Butcher (band), proposing that we merge Sons of Butcher (band) with Sons of Butcher (TV series) into a single article instead of two separate ones. The TV series absolutely passes WP:TVSHOW criteria, while it is not at all clear that the band would pass WP:NMUSIC separately from that — fundamentally, the TV show is the band's basis for notability, while there really isn't any significant coverage about the band as a standalone topic independently of the TV show, so it really isn't clear why we would need two articles instead of one. And although both articles are very poorly sourced at present and require improvement, the fact that the band's coverage is almost entirely in the context of the TV show means that the TV show article is much more readily repairable than the band article is. Additionally, if the articles are merged, then the disambiguation page at Sons of Butcher will become entirely unnecessary, as the only things on it are the band, the TV series, and a self-titled album that exists solely as a redirect to the band rather than a standalone article. So if there is a consensus established to merge them, then the final article should just be located directly at Sons of Butcher. So some input into the discussion would be appreciated. Thanks.
