User talk:Gino78

October 2012
Hello, I'm Hwy43. I noticed that you made a change to an article, List of city nicknames in Canada, but you didn't provide a reliable source. I’ve removed it for now, but if you’d like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so! If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Hwy43 (talk) 05:40, 15 October 2012 (UTC)


 * Gino78, thank you for attempting to add a citation! I probably should have elaborated above however. Citations (references) need to be based on reliable sources (not user-generated media such as blogs, forums, tweets, etc.). The citation you provided was from a blog, which is why Ckatz removed the nickname this second time with this edit. Don't be discouraged though. If "Chicago of the North" is a genuine nickname of widespread usage for Winnipeg, usually a newspaper can confirm its usage. Try going to the websites of a few mainstream newspapers and performing a search for the phrase "Chicago of the North". Hopefully you'll finding a reliable source that way. (Note that an actual news article must confirm its usage, and not a reader's comments on a message board below the article.) Cheers, Hwy43 (talk) 08:02, 16 October 2012 (UTC)
