I found the marriage information on this google-cached article. I think we can trust Chatelaine. Markaci 15:44, 11 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Citations

Walter Görlitz, can you please explain what leads you to conclude that an article should either include "citation needed" tags or a hatnote, but not both? I have almost universally seen both on pages that require additional citations, so this would be a surprising piece of news to me. Please show me where this is specified in the MOS.

I have seen it before. When a subject has almost every unsourced statement tagged with {{citation needed}} a page-level template of {{blp sources}} is over-tagging. I have asked at the template itself. Walter Görlitz (talk) 05:44, 18 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

John Drainie Award

Hi Bearcat, you insist that there's nothing wrong with the reference you added to the claim that Mesley was the recipient of the John Drainie Award, and yet all it does is link to the award page on Wikipedia, where the only supporting reference for this claim is a link to the Waterloo Region Record. This is not a proper reference, as it does not support the claim that Mesley won the award. Can you please explain your reasoning? Revirvlkodlaku (talk) 00:13, 17 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Birthday

As I was updating this page I tired to find a credible source that confirms Wendy's birthday was January 8, 1957. I could not. Everything I found seems to link back to this page. The only source I could find was a podcast that Wendy did (https://www.soundoffpodcast.com/wendy-mesley) where she mentions her birthday is July 1957 (around the 1 minute mark). She never mentions a day. So I deleted the January birthday off the page. Not sure if I should list her July birthday up as it is missing the day.

Citation maintenance tag

I removed the citation maintenance tag. I believe the article has has now been sufficiently updated with enough credible sources that the tag is no longer needed. Obviously, if someone feels differently please put it back and I will try and add even more citations. (talk) JSunshine81 (talk) 19:59, 6 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
