Clement Ligoure

Hi there, thanks for all the help with this article! I noticed you made a change to the start date of Ligoure's time at Queen's University. Here's what the source says: "He began his training to become a physician a Queen's University in 1906 and, after some fits and starts, he received his M.D. in April 1916 (Pachai and Bishop 44)."

Do you have other info that 1912 is the correct date?

Thanks again!! Almostds (talk) 17:08, 26 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Your date source from Mr. Remes is incorrect and makes no sense. The medical course at Queen's University was five years long at the time. Your source has Ligoure going to college for ten years - which simply did not happen. The Queen's University Calendar from 1916 and 1916 - 1917, page 52, shows Dr. Ligoure attended for five years. He graduated in 1916, therefore, that means he entered university in 1912. He was living in New York in 1906 and had not yet married in 1909. He was single when he went to Queen's. However the factual source is on archive.org. I tried to post this but it set off a cascade of citing violations that I just do not have time or inclination to deal with. Please check out the source and put it up yourself. If it is not corrected, I will put up the factual source myself at a later time. The article at Halifax City News which sheds light on Dr. Ligoure's life and death and many facts on this page are not correct or sourced properly. It is admirable that you started this page but now that better information is available, the sources must be correct. Dheffernen (talk) 19:00, 26 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

A statement in my previous post needs to be revised. It should read: "The article at Halifax City News shed new light on Dr. Ligoure's life and death but many facts on this Wikipedia page are incorrect and were not properly sourced." I have tried my best to repair them but my skills at editing the pages are not up to par these days. My statement should not be taken as any reflection on your abilities. In this case, the source is wrong. Please pardon my error. Dheffernen (talk) 19:12, 26 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Back again. I have been thinking that the Queen's Calendar states Dr. Ligoure was in Medical School for five years. I realize he would have had to go to college prior to this in order to qualify for medical school. I assumed because he lived in the U.S., that he would go to one of their universities. However, it is just as conceivable that he studied at Queen's University before entering the medical programme. There do not appear to be any other facts to go on at this time. I may follow up on the source of Mr. Remes' statement. So, that statement indeed may be correct and until otherwise proven, the date of 1906 should stand. Thank you for your page and consideration. Dheffernen (talk) 19:52, 26 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Here is the quote regarding Dr. Ligoure's college education from p. 44 of Images of our Past, Historic Black Nova Scotia by Bridgalal Pachai & Henry Bishop (2006, Nimbus Publishing). Nothing regarding "fits and starts."

"Although C. C. Ligoure entered the Faculty of Medicine at Queen's University, Kingston, Ontario for the 1906-07 session, he left at the end of the academic year 1908-09. However, he returned in 1912, received a MB (Bachelor of Medicine) in September 1914 and a MD in April 1916."

I will leave this better source of information with you to post if you wish.

Thanks

I noticed you have been editing an article about a physician, and I wanted to say that a bunch of us hang out at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Medicine. We're mostly working on medical content, but we're interested in biographies of physicians, too, and you're welcome to join us. It's also a good place to ask questions about finding good sources for medical content or writing style. Other groups, like Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Trinidad and Tobago, might align more closely with your interest areas. You can usually find links to them on the talk pages of your favorite articles. Feel free to put any groups you're interested on your watchlist, or stop by to say hello some time. WhatamIdoing (talk) 04:21, 15 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
