Talk:Yarmouth, Nova Scotia

message: It is good to see a lot of participation from Yarmouth!  However, it is important that everyone know I'm a bit of c$nt what is written is academic, encyclopedic and neutral.  Right now, there are sections, especially the description at the end of history of the centre of the town, and the tourism section, that read like advertising or tourism material.  To make this an A+ article, read Wikipedia:How_to_write_a_great_article and lets tidy this article up! Thanks WayeMason 10:35, 1 May 2007 (UTC)

message: This section is important as the myth that the song was written in Yarmouth as been a persistent claim in Yarmouth - promoted by the Chamber of Commerce, CBC radio as well as various commercial operators. I have taken care to footnote and link the facts on this notion. Clarifying myths with facts is an important encyclopedic function.Letterofmarque (talk) 03:40, 9 May 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: That his trip to Yarmouth is not listed in a timeline of notable events in his life is not surprising, and I suspect the vacations in most historical peoples' lives would not be included in such a timeline.  In addition, no reference is made on either site against the claim.  Neither offer any information about the history of the song itself or the circumstances in which it was written.  While that doesn't mean it's true, it also doesn't mean its false.  If reputable sources such as CBC claim it to be true and no real sources exist to say it's not, we can't make stuff up - Wikipedia is not a place for original research.  -Addionne (talk) 17:38, 20 May 2011 (UTC)

message: I don't think any of the Yarmouth references I have read mention a 1759 settlement from Yarmouth, MA. Anyone have a citation for this point? Meters (talk) 04:05, 19 March 2012 (UTC)

message: 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 :Yarmouth, Nova Scotia'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.
Reference named "SC2001":
From Yarmouth County, Nova Scotia:  Religious make-up, for Yarmouth County, 2001 census - 100% data
From Clark's Harbour: Statistics Canada Religious make-up, for Yarmouth, 2001 census - 100% data
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⚡ 16:42, 30 November 2016 (UTC)
