Name of article

[edit]

Why does the article name have an abbreviation? Should it not be spelled out as "Ontario Co-operative Commonwealth Federation" or "Co-operative Commonwealth Federation (Ontario)"? I haven't seen this before and don't know whether there is a precedence for such usage. EncyclopediaUpdaticus (talk) 11:52, 17 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

It's been changed and moved to Co-operative Commonwealth Federation (Ontario Section).Abebenjoe (talk) 17:30, 17 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
The name must include "Ontario Section" as that was the formal name. Don't know why it was moved last year to just "Ontario." Don't move it again unless there is a consensus.--Abebenjoe (talk) 06:14, 11 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Don't add material without proper citations

[edit]

A basic rule of Wikipedia is verifiability. When adding new material, please use reliable sources and inline citations. In the case of the InfoBox, if the person is either mentioned in the article as having attained the specific position, or that information exists in their article, in verifiable form, than include it. If not, don't include it.--Abebenjoe (talk) 23:28, 20 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Sources for Graham Spry being chairman of the Ontario CCF can be found here (1934), here (1935) as well as The Making of a Socialist: Recollections of T. C. Douglas By Lewis H. Thomas which says he held the position from 1934 to 1936. Vale of Glamorgan (talk) 01:06, 21 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
