I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Marc Garneau's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT⚡ 06:48, 25 October 2019 (UTC)
@Mikeconnan: please stop adding the same thing you have added three times now due to it being highly editorialized. Feel free to put things within the article to explain what the government did (or didn't) do during COVID-19 pandemic, but you aren't giving a balanced image of what happened. I still have concerns about WP:PAID but I'll assume good faith. Also pinging @Paul Erik: due to them having the same concerns as me. Thanks, SixulaTalk 16:04, 12 January 2021 (UTC)
@Sixula: TO SIXULA : Please read more carefully before saying I keep adding the same thing. Following your edit, I actually cut the original text in half and made sure it was using a more neutral tone. I dont know how you can make accusations of me being paid to do it, while the content is simply a very diluted compilation of the subject actions (or lack of); maybe you are just uninformed of the actuality (and would benefit reading the included sources), or maybe you are some kind of politic fan of the subject trying to censor for his benefit. Anyhow, I suggest you learn and read a little more about the subject before playing the sherif. Thanks/Mike.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Mikeconnan (talk • contribs)
@Sixula:@Paul Erik: Ok guys, a little about me before I carry on : I am an old airline pilot directly affected by the minister lack of actions, so have some difficulty to stay neutral ... but I agree that Wikipedia is not a forum to express frustrations. You guys have been courteous so I think we can work on something that will be a clean, Wikipedian, neutral chapter. But keep in mind that I am old fellow : what I am telling you is very realistic from the field, but at the same time am not the best Wikipedian so I can be weak on some policies and coding. So here is what I suggest : let me breed a few days, review my sources so they will comply with Paul Erik observations and I will rewrite something trying to be as neutral as possible. I will not include it immediately in Garneau's page, but instead submit it to you here and you guys can look at it, maybe suggest some corrections (regarding content, sources, tone or syntax) and when we all agree that it contains at least the bare minimum while respecting Wikipedia policies, then I will post it. Sounds good ?
