WikiProject Canada 10,000 Challenge submissions

The 10,000 Challenge of WikiProject Canada will soon be reaching its first-anniversary. Please consider submitting any Canada-related articles you have created or improved since November 2016. Please try to ensure that all entries are sourced with formatted citations and no unsourced claims.

You may submit articles using this link for convenience. Thank-you, and please spread the word to those you know who might be interested in joining this effort to improve the quality of Canada-related articles. – Reidgreg (talk) 18:13, 5 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Alexander McKenzie

Hey there. We generally don't put long sections just for quotations into Wikipedia articles. You could add them in prose form (i.e., in paragraphs with a bit of context), or you could add them to the Alexander Mackenzie Wikiquote page, which is a similar site to Wikipedia except devoted only to quotes. The Wikiquote page could then be linked to from Wikipedia. Ivar the Boneful (talk) 15:03, 11 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Jingle Bells

Just to be clear, you have sourced the existence of another song with a similar theme to "Jingle Bells". but you write that it "may be" an inspiration for it. That's simply not adequate for your purposes. If the song you've uncovered is an inspiration for "Jingle Bells" you must have a citation from an reliable source which explicitly says so. Anything else is entirely speculation on your part, which is not allowed by our policy against original research. I hope that's clear to you. If you find such a source, you're welcome to add the information to the article. Beyond My Ken (talk) 03:54, 23 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
