Useful source for your WP article[edit]

I just came across a very useful source. Have a look at this MA thesis (esp. the first chapter). I am writing this message to everyone in your group so you can talk about it. The MA thesis is available online, through the UBC Library's databases. You will be able to download the PDF. Go to a database called Proquest Dissertations and Theses: http://resources.library.ubc.ca/32 and search for David Vogt, 'Every Drop of Water will be Desired': the Lake Minnewanka and Spray Lakes Controversies in Rocky Mountains National Park," MA thesis, University of Northern British Columbia, 2011. It has a good bibliography too. --Greentina (talk) 22:16, 9 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Here's a great source for the portion about American example and experience: Alan MacEachern's book, "Natural Selections: National Parks in Atlantic Canada" - chapter 2 focuses on Harkin (page 29 is where the author talks about Harkin drawing from Americans). The source can be accessed through UBC Library as an e-book. Hope it helps! --Allisontheresa (talk) 04:08, 18 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Disambiguation link notification for April 11[edit]

Hi. When you recently edited James B. Harkin, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Wood Buffalo (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.
