@Qcne hi! it's my first time creating an article, thank you for the feedback, I'll do my best to expand on the references! Davebed2 (talk) 13:09, 27 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

No worries @Davebed2. Writing an article from scratch is complicated, so if you have any questions just drop me a message :) Qcne (talk) 14:00, 27 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you! its difficult to find external references given the nature of the subject (small town police service) but I am doing my best. thanks again for the support! 🙂 Davebed2 (talk) 14:17, 27 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

It's worth remembering that not every single organisation in the world qualifies for a Wikipedia article. If you can't find those secondary references, then perhaps an article is not appropriate. Instead, you could add information about the Police Force to Cornwall, Ontario? Additions to existing articles are easier to do, as you can use primary references that confirms the existence subject and the notability requirements aren't as high.

@Qcne I understand this possibility. I have added additional references. let me know if you think it is enough. thanks! Davebed2 (talk) 14:48, 27 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Paul Vaurie Thanks for the approval Paul, glad the Cornwall Police Service will be able to have representation on the wiki! Davebed2 (talk) 21:16, 27 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

No problem. Keep in mind that the page needs a bit of cleanup. Remove imbedded external links, convert raw links into proper citations, and add some categories, please. Paul Vaurie (talk) 21:18, 27 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Sounds good, i'll get on it now. Davebed2 (talk) 21:22, 27 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
