Wilderness Rendezvous

Hi there, My concern about Wilderness Rendezvous is that I've been unable to find any reliable sources. In other words, books or articles that talk about the camp, but which are not associated with it or Scouts Canada. Perhaps there are some older books or magazine articles that aren't online, or perhaps the camp may have been referred to in a source by a name other than "Wilderness Rendezvous"?

Thank you

Thanks for your input. I am currently searching for non scout related sources. I know I have seen an article about the camp written by the cypress hills park, but I am having difficulty finding it again. I will continue searching for more content and sources.Elec junto (talk) 16:09, 11 July 2012 (UTC)

Andrew Scheer

You have claimed that there are 4 sources which include the phrase "Harper's boy" on the Andrew Scheer WP. However, if you actually read these sources, they don't mention this term at all! They do, however, use the term "Harper 2.0", and "Harper with a Smile". Even a Google search has zero results for "Harper's Boy" (other than an older version of Wikipedia). It seems rather odd to give undue weight to a nickname that does not appear in any sources anywhere on the internet. I don't think a single deadlink from a minor online blog counts here. Can you find any national newspaper (like the Globe and Mail, or the National Post) that uses this term? It's better to just leave this one out, and keep the other two nicknames that actually do have reliable sources.

Discuss on talk page

Please discuss about the article on the articles talk page in the future. This way other editors can also provide their opinions. I don't think that this is giving undue weight, as it is a single sentence. Your edit suggests that people are comparing Scheer to Harper in a flattering way. However these comparisons are not used by his political opponents in that way. Also the source that you are removing is not a minor blog, it is a major print and online media outlet (from its wikipedia page it is "the largest independently owned newspaper company in Canada"). The "Harper's Boy" phrase also comes from a direct quote from an mp, and is in the same spirit as the other names. Elec junto (talk) 19:49, 18 September 2018 (UTC)
