is this cleaned up enough to remove from the list? PKT 17:24, 20 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Tony Twist (disputed neutrality, clean-up)
  • Philip Owen, former mayor of Vancouver BC (disputed neutrality)**I flagged this page for cleanup and it's loads better. I don't know if it should still be on here; perhaps someone could have a look and decide?--Anchoress 00:19, 9 April 2006 (UTC)
it's not bad, but needs more substance and some references. I added 2 "fact" tags. PKT 19:59, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

  • Martin Short
  • Nathan Braun
  • Rod Zimmer (Canadian Senator and Winnipeg businssman)
  • John Clarke (activist), leader of the Ontario Coalition Against Poverty
  • Harinder Takhar article on Ontario cabinet minister fails to mention his conflict of interst problems.
  • Philip Owen, former mayor of Vancouver BC **I added this page but it's significantly improved over how it was, maybe it should come off? Maybe someone could check and see what they think?--Anchoress 07:16, 8 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Guy Carleton, 1st Baron Dorchester — a complicated and controversial figure, he's been called the "Father of British Canada" ([1]), the best British general in America during the American Revolution, and credited (or blamed) for inspiring and enacting the Quebec Act of 1774. A hugely important person, but you would not know it from the current state of his Wikipedia article.
  • Sylvia Tyson I'm shocked there wasn't a page until I created one, but I don't flatter myself that I did her justice. Pref. needs someone who can add info on her impact on the early Canadian folk music scene, and her impact on the arts in Canada.--Anchoress 11:20, 8 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Larysa Harapyn
  • Michael Dunahee - article was posted to AfD as it was nothing more than a missing persons poster. I have rewritten it, however if anyone - particularaly from BC - with a greater knowledge of the case can add anything, it would be appreciated. Resolute 03:22, 19 July 2006 (UTC)
  • Alexander Muir - Composer of the song The Maple Leaf Forever. (Note: I was shocked to see this as a red link 8 minutes ago). User:Zscout370 (Return Fire) 08:52, 30 July 2006 (UTC)
  • Gwynne Dyer is in 'dire' need of wikification, cleanup, POV editing and expansion. Anchoress 08:44, 3 November 2006 (UTC)
  • David Wilkins He's American, but he's the ambassador to Canada. Right now, the article is unreferenced, and heavily biased in favour of Wilkins. Rawr 20:13, 6 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Disambiguation issues

Sometimes, articles are written which mistakenly link to disambiguation pages, or even directly to incorrect topics. These need to be monitored from time to time to ensure that incorrect links are replaced. Some such pages are listed here; if you want to assist in cleaning up links, use the "what links here" page on the given article, and correct the link in any case where you are sure that the actual intended topic is the Canadian one. If you're unsure, please post to WP:CANTALK for assistance. Also please add other pages here which need this type of monitoring, if known.

Please note that as there are always new articles being written, this is a permanent list that needs ongoing monitoring. Accordingly, please do not remove a location from this list just because you've cleaned up all the incorrect links that existed at one specific time, as new incorrect links will invariably exist again in the future.

[edit] Links to wrong article

Fixing this type of incorrect link is the top priority.

[edit] Disambiguation pages

These should be corrected whenever possible, although since the dab page offers a link to the correct article it's not as crucial to fix these promptly as it is to fix links to the wrong article altogether.

[edit] Tricky cases

Sault Ste. Marie is tricky and should probably only be reviewed by an "expert", so to speak, as there are times when the general disambiguation page is the most correct choice. Articles where the Ontario city is clearly the intended topic should be redirected to Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario, but there are cases where a distinction between the city in Ontario and the one in Michigan is either not obvious, or even irrelevant to the context of the reference. (For example, the Saulteaux First Nation historically inhabited both sides of the river in the SSM area; accordingly, the link to Sault Ste. Marie in that article is correctly pointed to the dab page.) These links should only be changed when the reference is clearly to the Ontario city alone; if there's any doubt, leave the link as is.
