I have sent you a note about a page you started[edit]
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)

Clement Ligoure dates[edit]
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.

Thank you for the Clement Ligoure article![edit]
Most informative, and very pleased to see it on the front page. I always want to find out about history that we didn't learn in school, or see on "Heritage Minutes" - thanks for bringing Dr Ligoure's story forward.
