thread_title: Using the SIN

message: The article states " 046 454 286 <--- A fictitious, but valid SIN" , this is incorrect. This is not a valid SIN. If you look at the very last slide of this link (http://www.straightlineinternational.com/docs/vaildating_canadian_sin.pdf) you will see that 0 as the first digit of the SIN number is not used.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 199.85.192.101 (talk) 13:31, 16 July 2018 (UTC)
thread_title: What constitutes a Valid SIN

message: :Image:SIN.png is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is  other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page.  Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Generally, we link to the most specific article relevant to the subject, or if there many, to a page that aggregates those links. However, please avoid linking to a page that acts as a web directory.

thread_title: Fair use rationale for Image:SIN.png

message: I added a requested Citation note. However, is there a recommended Wikipedia guidance policy on linking to specific parts of a government website? -Theicla (talk) 15:28, 21 August 2009 (UTC)

thread_title: Question

message: The Analysis section needs to be corrected to some degree. It is not completely accurate as to find the check number. The Luhn Algorithm is clearly working, however it is not the formula used by the CRA in public documents. If you check the annual document provided by the CRA, t4127-11e.pdf (11e will change to identify the year and language release) you will see a different calculation used.
