Citation placement

Hi! Thank so much for all the citations you have been adding - it is super helpful! Just a reminder that per the Manual of Style, inline citations at the end of the sentence should go after the period, not before it. I have corrected a few of these but please try to keep an eye out for it in the future. Thanks again and happy citing! Best, Kazamzam (talk) 16:32, 11 January 2024 (UTC)

Ack, thank you for letting me know, and for working to fix it! Fluorescent Jellyfish (talk) 22:09, 20 January 2024 (UTC)

marking edits as minor

Hi Fluorescent Jellyfish! I noticed that you recently marked an edit as minor that may not have been. "Minor edit" has a very specific definition on Wikipedia—it refers only to superficial edits that could never be the subject of a dispute, such as typo corrections or reverting obvious vandalism. Any edit that changes the meaning of an article is not a minor edit, even if it only concerns a single word. Thank you. DoctorMatt (talk) 20:33, 20 January 2024 (UTC)

Thank you for letting me know! :) Fluorescent Jellyfish (talk) 22:08, 20 January 2024 (UTC)

Women in Red

Hi there, Fluorescent Jellyfish, and welcome to Women in Red. It's good to see you are interested in improving our coverage of historical women. I see you have suddenly become very active, creating no less than five new articles in just one day. You've done a pretty good job on Naunakhte but there might be a case for merging it with Will of Naunakhte. When creating further biographies you might find it useful to look through our Primer. Please let me know if you run into any difficulties or need assistance. Happy editing!--Ipigott (talk) 10:00, 5 March 2024 (UTC)

he doesn't think the walrus is a real source

I'm under the impression that it is rather well-respected, no? Elinruby (talk) 13:12, 21 June 2024 (UTC)

Indeed it is. Fluorescent Jellyfish (talk) 19:11, 21 June 2024 (UTC)
Here are some other sources, too (as I did that reversion at like 4 in the morning, and now I have time to be more in-depth).
So, one of the authors of the article he used as a source (the one from C2C) is Tom Flanagan. Tom Flanagan is a well-known Residential School apologist.
For instance this article describes him as:
"Tom Flanagan, a former adviser to Stephen Harper and a long-time critic of Indigenous rights who has described residential schools as a “visionary program.”"
Here's another article discussing Tom Flanagan as part of the general far-right conspiracy to deny Residential School atrocities.
And here is an article from the CBC discussing Tom Flanagan's book (which is a massive piece of residential school denialism and allegedly *genocide denialism*). The article focused on the reasons and circumstances around the book being denounced by Quesnel city council. (that's also a good article for or info re: the situation, particularly the UN's funding recommendations)
Where is he commenting that he doesn't think the Walrus is a real source? I'm primarily on mobile right now, and can't seem to locate where he's commenting. Fluorescent Jellyfish (talk) 19:35, 21 June 2024 (UTC)
It is an edit summary somewhere in this madness. I will try to find it. Another problem, which I can't do anything about right now and would like to note here if you don't mind: Talk:2021_Canadian_church_burnings. I am pretty overdue on some other stuff Elinruby (talk) 12:15, 24 June 2024 (UTC)
