Welcome!
Hello, Debenna, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay.

Wikipedia articles should refer only to facts and interpretations verified in reliable, reputable print or online sources or in other reliable media. Always provide a reliable source for quotations and for any material that is likely to be challenged, or it may be removed. Wikipedia also has a related policy against including original research in articles.

Please do not add or change content, as you did at Nellie McClung, without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. If you are going to change her name, you must cite a source for the change. —C.Fred (talk) 17:05, 26 November 2023 (UTC)


 * Sorry about that! I just saw the messages.
 * The source is an online copy of the Ontario, Canada birth record for her. I am accessing this through ancestry. It's my understanding the link won't work unless someone has an ancestry account. How do I cite it? Debenna (talk) 17:06, 26 November 2023 (UTC)
 * Please review WP:Reliable sources and, even though she is not alive, WP:BLPPRIMARY. Birth certificates should not be relied upon as sources, especially given the challenges of linking the person on the birth certificate to the person discussed in the article. —C.Fred (talk) 21:39, 26 November 2023 (UTC)
