Motivations

"Quebec Mosque Shooter Was Consumed by Refugees, Trump and Far Right" Here's a recent New York Times article about his motivations so we can have explicit "I was inspired by XYZ" instead of citing Facebook and Twitter likes of Le Pen, Shapiro and Dawkins which were cherry picked by sensationalistic media in the early coverage of the shooting. wumbolo ^^^ 20:11, 31 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

"That's not what MOS:BOLDSYN says"

@Freshacconci: Re: this revert I genuinely thought that's what MOS:BOLDSYN and WP:R#PLA and MOS:BOLD#OTHER did say: Important redirects which are not to obvious minor variants of the article name should be bolded:

“

Normally, we try to make sure that all "inbound redirects" other than misspellings or other obvious close variants of the article title are mentioned in the first couple of paragraphs of the article or section to which the redirect goes. It will often be appropriate to bold the redirected term. For example:

James Tiptree Jr. (August 24, 1915 – May 19, 1987) was the pen name of American science fiction author Alice Bradley Sheldon

”

Bolding "Alexandre Bissonnette" seems like an obvious application of this rule. Perhaps I should have cited WP:R#ASTONISH instead of MOS:BOLDSYN, but I still think the edit is called for by the MoS. If you're still sure it's incorrect, could you please explain in detail? 209.209.238.149 (talk) 00:45, 9 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Separate article about the SCC decision

Because of the legal and constitutional implications of the SCC decision, I'm thinking about creating a separate article about the SCC decision this weekend. Singularity42 (talk) 20:45, 27 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
