Please use {{WikiProject Canada|cangov=yes}} on discussion pages of articles you create for agencies of the CAnadeian government or related articles. If it is a more general article you should omit the cangov=switch; geographid articles can have geography=yes and anytyhing to do with specific provinces use bc=yes, ab=yes, qc=yes etc.Skookum1 (talk) 20:47, 1 March 2008 (UTC)

Notability

Is it possible to find some more sources of information on this topic Canadian Biodiversity Information Network? It is tagged with a notability tag, and there are currently 31 articles in the scope of wikiproject Canada which are tagged with notability concerns, so I am contacting all the article creation editors to see if the quantity of notable articles can be reduced, and quality increased.
