Per your edits at Rougarou, please see our policies on WP:CITE and WP:VERIFY. The information you are adding may be true, it may not. We can't tell either way without a citation to verify it. He iro 17:44, 12 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Per your edit at my page (here), and lets keep this here in one place on your talkpage instead of both.

1.Firstly, the time and date of a local TV stations broadcast of an old movie is not a "citation" proving such a term is used in the movie. Please see here for how to cite AV media.

2. That article is for "rougarou" not "loup garou". I'm unsure which article you should even trying to add this extremely trivial mention to. Which is used in the film, rougarou or loup garou? If loup-garou, it should not even be added to this article.

Hm, this "talk page" form of communication is a little cryptic. Will this work for the citation?

Selander, Lesley (Director) (September 17, 1941). Riders of the Timberline (Motion picture). Filmed In Lone Pine, CA: Paramount Pictures.

It seems to. Did you read the rest of my comment about whether or not that even belongs in that article? If one term is used, and you want to add it to an article for the other term, it does not belong. Which term was used? He iro 19:32, 12 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

"Rougarou" vis-à-vis "loup garou"

I also wanted to point out that the Wikipedia page concerning Rougarou implies rougarou/loup garou are variations upon the original French phrase. The character I'm citing is described as "French Canadian" so he would and does use the French phraseology. Already present in the "In popular culture" section are other references to both spellings

You do not need to make a new section header for each comment, just add below the last one. Add colons to indent (see in front of my comments when in edit mode?). Also, when you add a comment to a talk page please end it with ~~~~, it will automatically sign the post. It is required to sign all talk page posts here.

As for the above, rougarou is a derivation of the French term "loup garou", yes. But, which term is actually used in the film? He iro 19:43, 12 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Also, many of those instances in that list should not be there or should be cited. I am clearing them out now. He iro 19:48, 12 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Apparently I lost my connection momentarily and my last edit went into the ether; the character, Baptiste Deschamp, is a Hollywood trope of a Canadian lumber jack who speaks with a heavy accent and does use 'loup-garou' specifically he says, "... and all his loup-garous too! ..." referring to the cohort of bad guys he and Hopalong are about to fight.

Thanks for the tips.

No problem. As I thought, that is definitely the wrong article for that information, IMO. You should try at the other article. I've cleaned out the mentions that do not belong in that list, removed uncited additions, and added a hidden note that you only see when in edit mode for future editors who want to add to that list to make sure they are at the right place and to use citations. Welcome to Wikipedia, lol. It takes a while to get the hang of things around here. The links in the welcome message above should help you in figuring it out. Kind regards and cheers, :-) He iro 20:08, 12 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
