I have sent you a note about a page you started

Hello, Almostds. Thank you for your work on Clement Ligoure. User:Ppt91, while examining this page as a part of our page curation process, had the following comments:

Thank you for creating this very interesting article on a notable Black historical figure from Canada! In terms of improving the article, I would suggest possibly condensing the layout a bit, as it has a lot of sections relative to the amount of content. It also seems a few news sources are used to report the same information, which I think could be reduced. Also, I've found this entry on Carrie Best: https://www.thecanadianencyclopedia.ca/en/article/carrie-best in Canadian Encyclopedia that talks about Ligoure and which could perhaps be used a source to replace one of the news report. Just a suggestion and keep up the good work! Let me know if I can be of any help.

To reply, leave a comment here and begin it with {{Re|Ppt91}}. Please remember to sign your reply with ~~~~. (Message delivered via the Page Curation tool, on behalf of the reviewer.)

Thanks! Agree with the suggestions and thanks for the extra source. I'll be chipping away at this page some more over the coming months ;) Almostds (talk) 20:35, 24 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Clement Ligoure dates

Hi Almostds – great work on Clement Ligoure, but I just want to note that you've use two different date formats (dmy and mdy) inconsistently throughout the article. Per MOS:DATEUNIFY, these should be consistent. I would have fixed this myself but I don't want to step on any toes and I'd rather let you choose your preferred format. Thanks.
