Please do be nice.

Please read before posting[edit]

  • Post all new sections under a new header at the bottom of this page, not at random. If you make it clear you ignored these instructions by placing it elsewhere, I am likely to ignore your request in turn.
  • If you leave me a message here, I will respond to it here, as fragmented discussions are confusing. I may or may not leave you a notice that I've responded on your talk page. If you specifically request that I do (or do not) give you such a notice when I respond, I'll honor that request. If I contact you on your talk page, I will watchlist it so that I can respond there. If you'd like to leave me a notice when you respond (a ping will also suffice), it would be appreciated, and you'll probably receive a faster followup.
  • No lulztxtspk or emojis on my talk page, please. "You" is spelled "you", "though" is spelled "though", "because" is spelled "because", "people" is spelled "people", and so on. There is no character limit on Wikipedia comments, so there is no need whatsoever for ad-hoc abbreviating. If you don't even take yourself seriously, don't expect me to take you seriously either.
  • If you are an admin here to ask me about someone I blocked for vandalism or spamming/advertising, they've agreed to stop it, and you believe they intend to edit productively, go ahead and unblock them. If you still want my opinion please feel free to ask, but there's no obligation. For more complex cases I would appreciate a heads-up, but please go ahead with your best judgment if I don't seem to be online. I would appreciate it if you'd let me know after you do.
  • If you are here to discuss edits made to an article, please use the article talk page, not this talk page, to discuss them. If I made the edit and the question is specifically directed at me, you are welcome to ping me.
  • If you email me a question or request, and do not indicate why the matter is sensitive and must be handled privately (and such is not immediately obvious), I may ignore it or respond on your talk page rather than by return email. Talk pages are open to other editors to read, and so are the preferred method of communication for matters involving Wikipedia. If the matter you are speaking to me about is Wikipedia-related and would not violate anyone's privacy by being posted publicly, please use my talk page instead of email. This does not, of course, apply to editors who are blocked from editing, though I still may respond on your talk page rather than by return email.
  • If you are here to ask a question regarding deletion of any kind, please read this before asking, and ask only if you need further clarification or still disagree after reading. If you ask a question answered there, I'll just refer you to it anyway.
  • While I will generally leave any personal attacks or uncivil comments you may make about me here, that does not mean that I find them acceptable, nor that I will not seek action against attacks that are severe or persistent.
  • I reserve the right to remove, revert, or immediately archive any material on this page, but will do so only in extreme circumstances, generally that of personal attacks or outing attempts against others. I will only revision delete material on this page in accordance with the revision deletion policy, and will clearly denote the reason why.

Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada: Difference between revisions[edit]

Hi, please could you explain <nowiki> this revert and explain how i could fix it Wilfredor (talk) 14:34, 18 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Wilfredor, to start, it's far too long. The entire article before your addition is about 50 kB, and after it would be ~60 kB. The article is about the organization as a whole; devoting one sixth of it to a single controversy is far too much. That said, I think I see the root cause of that, and that's an issue in itself—you are essentially taking text directly from the sources, not paraphrasing and summarizing it. As an example, from this source: [1], your text was: The investigations did not surprise two federal officials who, fearing workplace retaliation, spoke with CBC News under the condition of anonymity,, while the source text was: The investigations came as little surprise to two federal civil servants who, fearing workplace reprisals, spoke to CBC News on the condition they not be named. You cannot do that, where you basically copy over the sentence and just change a few words to synonyms, and that also explains why the writing is not in a neutral and encyclopedic tone—you're not changing it to one. (You did that with several sources; that's just one example.) You also have a chart based upon a tweet, not any actual reliable source of data, and that's completely inappropriate. It does seem like it bears mention, but not a huge chunk of the article worth of mention. So, take the best available sources (CBC, for example), be very wary of using material from advocacy groups and normally attribute it rather than stating it as fact (so "According to _______, Doe has...", not just "Doe has..."), and so on.

Third Opinion on LiveJasmin Talk page dispute[edit]

Hello and thank you for the help. I have just added two more sources, that I think are both independent and reliable, and make the exact same allegations about LiveJasmin as the parliamentary question does. Is that enough for publishing the "Controversy" section now? I would appreciate it if you took another look. Thank you! Alexfotios (talk) 13:11, 23 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Let's keep the discussion at the article talk page where it started. OhNoitsJamie Talk 13:28, 23 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
