message: I have changed it to Start rather than stub.  It needs more but it is a start on this woman who, at least here in BC, is a very significant person who I expect we will hear more and more about. --KenWalker | Talk 07:09, 24 February 2009 (UTC)

replies: text: @Mr Serjeant Buzfuz, the birth date was listed in the infobox and in the first sentence. Neither location had a reference. You can certainly add it back in with a reference on the same sentence or at least the same paragraph where the birth date is stated. MB 15:44, 23 November 2022 (UTC)

From the source: "The claim states that the government broke a verbal agreement to provide Turpel-Lafond with 18 months worth of pension credits for each year of service." Geordie (talk) 02:13, 18 January 2023 (UTC)
thread_title:  Verbal v. oral 

message: Dear Sir or Madam or Oncamera,
I made a quick and maybe clumsy edit on Mary Ellen Turpel-Lafond, who also made false indigenous claims today. Please feel free to correct it if you wish. This is breaking news as the Order of Canada is one of Canada's highest awards and she will surrender the title on Saturday. This is another Pretendian issue. Who knew that there were so many Pretendians. I always though Sacheen Littlefeather was Indian and not Hispanic. I said she made "incorrect" claims but in fact but they are misleading or false claims. Best from Metro Vancouver, British Columbia, --Leoboudv (talk) 21:19, 3 November 2023 (UTC)

message: Following up on the earlier discussion, I've removed the "Intricate detail" hatnote, for a couple of reasons.  First, I disagree with the suggestion that this topic only is of interest to a "particular audience".  It is clearly of interest to Indigenous people in Canada, which is a large group and should not be dismissed as a "particular audience".  The article also demonstrates that it is of interest to academics and universities in Canada.  As well, the fact that funding agencies established by the federal government of Canada are reviewing issues that arose in part in this case indicates that this is of interest to the federal government.  More generally, it raises issues of interest to Canadians who are concerned with truth and reconciliation, as set out in the calls for action by the federal Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada. Second, this issue can only be understood by a detailed review.  As stated earlier, I think Wikipedia has to be careful to ensure all aspects of the issue are covered, and let the reader draw their own conclusions, from the material in the article, and the detailed citations.  Third, given the seriousness of the issue, I think that WP:BLP requires a full review in the article, to present as balanced an account as possible.
