@Musoquinz: Do you have any independent reliable sources to verify and demonstrate the notability of any of these claims please? Rather than the primary sources, which are not of any use to us. Thanks -Lopifalko (talk) 13:58, 2 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

hi there, the links to 1, 2, 3, 4 are independent, external websites that feature the author. Source 5 is also an external link to 'FRIENDS CA is a people-powered movement that stands up for Canadian voices, online and on the air.' Source 6 again, is an external link to 'The Regards Hybrides Collection brings together more than 60 Canadian works of screendance from the 1960s to the present.' Musoquinz (talk) 17:52, 2 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

No, 1, 2, 3, and 4 are all primary sources for the claims they relate to. How is www.louiseabbott.ca not a primary source for Louise Abbott? An independenet source would be for example The Globe and Mail. -Lopifalko (talk) 18:53, 2 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Which is the subject's official website, is it www.louiseabbott.ca or www.ruralroutecommunications.com? - Lopifalko (talk) 18:56, 2 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Both of these are her official websites for different projects. One is hers, and one is for her and her partner's work. Sources 3 and 4 are external sites that are independent. Musoquinz (talk) 20:22, 2 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

www.studiogeorgeville.com is not an independent source for Studio Georgeville; and www.quebec-elan.org is not an independent source for ELAN. Do you see what I mean? Independent sources would indicate that these facts are noteworty enough to include, and would back up such claims as "Abbott has extensive experience in community-based cultural, educational, and heritage projects." Independent reliable sources for the other claims would be an improvement, rather than youtube and video.wned.org links to the films themselves, but not essential. -Lopifalko (talk) 20:38, 2 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

hi there,

Thank you for your points; I have revised the writing and removed anything that cannot be verified by an independent source. I have included two websites after Abbott's Bio, but not sure where they should be referenced?

Bio: Louise Abbott is a non-fiction writer, photographer, and documentary filmmaker based in the Eastern Townships of Quebec. Her work has been disseminated regionally, nationally, and internationally. Abbott has experience in community-based cultural, educational, and heritage projects. She is a founding member of an artist cooperative that runs a gallery, cultural centre, bookstore, and literary press in the Eastern Townships called Studio Georgeville. She is a board member of ELAN (English-Language Arts Network). Abbott has directed numerous documentary films. In February 2023, her film The Ahiarmiut: Out-of-the-Way Dwellers was presented in Stuttgart, Germany, at the Indianer Inuit: Das Nordamerika Festival. Her film CRUX: The Transformation of AnneBruce Falconer was an official selection at the International Festival of Films on Art (FIFA) in Montreal in March 2022 and was subsequently chosen for a collection of Canadian films on dance from the 1960s to the present day (La Collection Regards Hybrides). Three of her Townships films were broadcast on WNED PBS (Buffalo-Toronto) in February 2022 and subsequently made available online. The broadcast license has since been renewed for two years.

Websites: Her website: www.ruralroutecommunications.com Studio Georgeville: www.studiogeorgeville.com

I am busy compiling the videography and book list. Any advice on how to correctly cite these would be appreciated. Thanks! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.127.235.111 (talk) 12:47, 8 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
